It’s tough to write (what is essentially) a giant research paper when you’ve been out of college for almost 3 years and the most extensive writing you’ve done since is on a terrible blog.

Oh ya, totally unrelated but I saw this being advertised at some katsu (fried cutlet) stand in Tsudanuma a while back. It’s a 7-layer katsu with pork, seaweed, and mochi (pounded rice cake). I guess the ingredients aren’t that sweet, but it looks pretty massive. I had just eaten lunch otherwise I would have tried it.
