This page will contain wikis about japanese restaurant, as they become available.Japanese cuisineOne course of a multi course Kaiseki meal, showing a careful arrangement of the foodsThere are many views of what is fundamental to Japanese cuisine. Many think of sushi or the elegant stylized formal kaiseki meals that originated as part of the Japanese tea ceremony. Many Japanese think of the everyday food of the Japanese people--especially that existing before the end of the Meiji Era (1868 - 1912) or before World War II. Food individual to the countryBarrels of sake, a traditional Japanese alcoholic drinkTraditional Japanese cuisine is dominated by white rice (hakumai, 白米), and few meals would be complete without it. Anything else served during a meal--fish, meat, vegetables, tsukemono (pickles)--is considered a side dish, known as okazu. Traditional Japanese meals are named by the number of side dishes that accompany the rice and soup that are nearly always served. The simplest Japanese meal, for example, consists of ichijū-issai (一汁一菜; "one soup, one side" or "one dish meal"). This means soup, rice, and one accompanying side dish--usually a pickled vegetable like daikon. A traditional Japanese breakfast, for example, usually consists of miso soup, rice, and a pickled vegetable. The most common meal, however, is called ichijū-sansai (一汁三菜; "one soup, three sides"), or soup, rice, and three side dishes, each employing a different cooking technique. The three side dishes are usually raw fish (sashimi), a grilled dish, and a simmered (sometimes called boiled in translations from Japanese) dish -- although steamed, deep fried, vinegared, or dressed dishes may replace the grilled or simmered dishes. Ichijū-sansai often finishes with pickles such as umeboshi and green tea. This Japanese view of a meal is reflected in the organization of traditional Japanese cookbooks. Chapters are organized according to cooking techniques: fried foods, steamed foods, and grilled foods, for example, and not according to particular ingredients (e.g., chicken or beef) as are western cookbooks. There may also be chapters devoted to soups, sushi, rice, noodles, and sweets. Since Japan is an island nation, its people consume much seafood including fish, shellfish, octopus, squid, crabs, lobsters, shrimp and seaweed. Although not known as a meat eating country, very few Japanese consider themselves vegetarians. Beef and chicken are commonly eaten and have become part of everyday cuisine. Noodles, originating from China, have become an essential part of Japanese cuisine. There are two traditional types of noodle, soba and udon. Made from buckwheat flour, soba (蕎麦) is a thin, brown noodle. Made from wheat flour, udon (うどん) is a thick, white noodle. Both are generally served in a soy-flavored fish broth with various vegetables. A more recent import from China, dating to the early 19th century, is ramen (ラーメン; Chinese wheat noodles), which has become extremely popular. Ramen is served in a variety of soup stocks ranging from soy sauce/fish stock to butter/pork stock. Although most Japanese eschew eating insects, there are a couple of exceptions. In some regions, grasshoppers (inago) and bee larvae (hachinoko) are not uncommon dishes. Salamander is eaten as well in places. Traditional Japanese table settingsThe traditional Japanese table setting has varied considerably over the centuries, depending primarily on the type of table common during a given era. Before the 19th century, small individual box tables (hakozen, 箱膳) or flat floor trays were set before each diner. Larger low tables (chabudai, ちゃぶ台) that accommodated entire families were becoming popular by the beginning of the 20th century, but these gave way to western style dining tables and chairs by the end of the 20th century. Traditional table settings are based on the ichijū-sansai formula. Typically, five separate bowls and plates are set before the diner. Nearest the diner are the rice bowl on the left and the soup bowl on the right. Behind these are three flat plates to hold the three side dishes, one to far back left (on which might be served a simmered dish), one at far back right (on which might be served a grilled dish), and one in the center of the tray (on which might be served boiled greens). Pickled vegetables are often served as well, and eaten at the end of the meal, but are not counted as part of three side dishes. Chopsticks are generally placed at the very front of the tray near the diner with pointed ends facing left and supported by a chopstick holder, or hashioki (箸置き). Dishes for special occasionsIn Japanese tradition some dishes are strongly tied to a festival or event. Major such combinations include:
In some regions every 1st and 15th day of the month people eat a mixture of rice and adzuki (azuki meshi). Japanese ingredients

Japanese influence on other cuisinesUnited States Teppanyaki is said to be an American invention, as is the California roll (not to mention the Philadelphia roll), and while the former has been well received in Japan the latter has not and has, at worst, been termed not sushi by Japanese people. However thanks to some recent trends in American culture such as Iron Chef and Benihana, Japanese culinary culture is slowly fusing its way into American life. Japanese food, which had been quite exotic in the West as late as the 1970s, is now quite at home in parts of the continental United States, and has become an integral part of food culture in Hawaii. Imported and adapted foodsA Japanese children's book. The food and utensils depicted, however, are Western.Japan has incorporated imported food from across the world (mostly from Asia, Europe and to a lesser extent the Americas). Chinese, French, Italian and Spanish cuisine is of particular interest to Japanese people. Historically, foods such as castella and bread were originally imported from Portugal, and the name pan for bread is a loanword from Portuguese. Many imported foods are made suitable for the Japanese palate by reducing the amount of spice used or changing a part of a recipe. For example, the Korean pickle kimchi, usually fermented in Korea, in Japan is instead often simply pickled, without a key Korean ingredient, fermented shrimp. Similarly, Japanese pizza may have toppings such as sliced boiled eggs, sweetcorn, shrimps, nori, and mayonnaise instead of tomato sauce. Other examples of changed imported cuisine include:
The Japanese often eat at hamburger chains such as McDonald's or Mos Burger, a popular competitor. Other fast-food establishments are similarly popular. These include doughnut and ice cream shops. Okinawa has a chain of A&W drive-in restaurants featuring the company's root beer. The Japanese also alter American-style fast-food, serving such items as green-tea milkshakes and fried shrimp burgers at chains like Lotteria. In Tokyo, it is quite easy to find restaurants serving authentic foreign cuisine. However, in most of the country, in many ways, the variety of imported food is limited; for example, it is rare to find pasta that is not of the spaghetti or macaroni varieties in supermarkets or restaurants; bread is very rarely of any variety but white; and varieties of imported cereal are also very limited, usually either frosted or chocolate flavored. "Italian restaurants" also tend to only have pizza and pasta in their menus. Washoku and yōshokuImported cuisines and foods from America and Europe are called yōshoku (洋食), a shortened form of seiyōshoku (西洋食) lit. Western cuisine. Japanese cuisine is called washoku (和食), lit. Japanese cuisine and Chinese cuisine is called Chūkaryōri (中華料理), lit. Chinese recipe. A number of foreign dishes have been adapted to a degree that they are now considered Japanese, and are an integral part of any Japanese family menu. Yet, these are still categorized as yōshoku as they were imported. Perhaps the best example is curry rice, which was imported in the 19th century by way of the United Kingdom, and vaguely resembles the original Indian dish. Another example is "Hamburg steak", which is a ground beef patty, usually mixed with breadcrumbs and fried chopped onions, served with a side of white rice and vegetables. Restaurants that serve these foods are called yōshokuya (洋食屋), lit. Western cuisine restaurants. However, yōshoku basically refers to Japanese-style foreign cuisine of a vague origin. TempuraOne of the oldest imported dishes is tempura, although it has been so thoroughly adopted that its foreign roots are unknown to most people, including many Japanese. As such, it is considered washoku. Tempura came to Japan from Portuguese sailors in the 16th century as a technique for cooking fish. Since then, the Japanese have extended its ingredients to include almost every sort of seafood and vegetable. Shrimp, eggplant, squash, and carrots are typical ingredients today. Another food, like tempura, that is now considered washoku is sōmen. Fusion foodsIn a constant quest to adopt and expand Japanese cuisine, Japanese have made hundreds of recipes that are distinctly different from the original recipes but still retain the "air" (and basic taste) of their origins. For example, "curry" from India, imported via the United Kingdom, has fused with varieties of foods to make new recipes. Curry made with fish based dashi is poured over udon, making "Kare Udon". It is wrapped in dough and deep fried, making "Kare Pan", curry bread. Curry is often eaten with pickled vegetables called Fukujinzuke or Rakkyo. Other recipes are so exotic by any standard that they remain a local cuisine. Anmitsu (あんみつ), a dish of cream, bean jam, ice cream, and fruits is often served as a dessert in restaurants.

Anmitsu (あんみつ), a dish of cream, bean jam, ice cream, and fruits is often served as a dessert in restaurants. In the song "Internet Going Nutz", Texas rapper Paul Wall sings: "So I log on to the Facebook, I'm tryin' to find me a good look I'm lookin for a lil' one night love, I throw the bait and they bite the hook.". Other recipes are so exotic by any standard that they remain a local cuisine. Facebook has also been mentioned in other songs. Curry is often eaten with pickled vegetables called Fukujinzuke or Rakkyo. In early 2006 a group of students at Cambridge University produced "The Facebook Song". It is wrapped in dough and deep fried, making "Kare Pan", curry bread. In 2005 Nsami wrote and performed "Facebook Livin". Curry made with fish based dashi is poured over udon, making "Kare Udon". Various songs have been written about Facebook. For example, "curry" from India, imported via the United Kingdom, has fused with varieties of foods to make new recipes. According to Facebook spokesperson Chris Hughes, "In the past, we have removed profiles as soon as we were made aware of the student's death, but we are now re-evaluating the policy in light of numerous requests to the contrary from users." [33]. In a constant quest to adopt and expand Japanese cuisine, Japanese have made hundreds of recipes that are distinctly different from the original recipes but still retain the "air" (and basic taste) of their origins. This particular phenomenon has been documented at a number of schools, including Louisiana State University, University of Wisconsin, University of Texas, Western Illinois University, University of Missouri, Kansas City, Tufts University, University of Virginia, and Boston University. Another food, like tempura, that is now considered washoku is sōmen. Generally, students will leave messages of sadness, grief or hope on the Wall of the individual, transforming its role into one of a public book of condolences. Shrimp, eggplant, squash, and carrots are typical ingredients today. This particular phenomenon is nameless, though it may be referred to as digital mourning. Since then, the Japanese have extended its ingredients to include almost every sort of seafood and vegetable. A notable ancillary effect of social networking websites, particularly Facebook, is the abilitiy for participants to mourn publicly for a passed individual. Tempura came to Japan from Portuguese sailors in the 16th century as a technique for cooking fish. At East Lansing High School, MI, many students were threatened with disciplinary action for joining a Facebook group about how much they hate the principal.[citation needed] Other schools, such as The Bullis School, MD, have threatened students with suspension for simply being members of the site under the Bullis School's name.[citation needed]. As such, it is considered washoku. Some schools have even gone as far as to suspend students that are members of Facebook hate groups towards peers or staff members. One of the oldest imported dishes is tempura, although it has been so thoroughly adopted that its foreign roots are unknown to most people, including many Japanese. Many highschools across the United States have blocked access to Facebook on all school computers after students have started anti-school groups like the notorious School Sucks group. However, yōshoku basically refers to Japanese-style foreign cuisine of a vague origin. The site forces use of UNM credentials (e.g., NetID or email address) for non-UNM business.". Western cuisine restaurants. The site is in violation of UNM's Acceptable Computer Use Policy for abusing computing resources (e.g., spamming, trademark infringement, etc.). Restaurants that serve these foods are called yōshokuya (洋食屋), lit. UNM, in a message to students who tried to access the site from the UNM network, wrote, "This site is temporarily unavailable while UNM and the site owners work out procedural issues. Another example is "Hamburg steak", which is a ground beef patty, usually mixed with breadcrumbs and fried chopped onions, served with a side of white rice and vegetables. [32] After a UNM user signed into Facebook from off campus, a message from Facebook said, "We are working with the UNM administration to lift the block and have explained that it was instituted based on erroneous information, but they have not yet committed to restore your access.". Perhaps the best example is curry rice, which was imported in the 19th century by way of the United Kingdom, and vaguely resembles the original Indian dish. The University of New Mexico in October 2005 blocked access to Facebook from UNM campus computers and networks, citing unsolicited e-mails and a similar site called UNM Facebook. Yet, these are still categorized as yōshoku as they were imported. [31]. A number of foreign dishes have been adapted to a degree that they are now considered Japanese, and are an integral part of any Japanese family menu. A counter-activist group called Pro-Test has warned students not to support the lab's construction on Facebook as they believe ALF is monitoring the site. Chinese recipe. Militant members of the Animal Liberation Front in Britain appear to have threatened students at Oxford who support the university's proposed South Parks laboratory saying they are legitimate targets for attack.

"Italian restaurants" also tend to only have pizza and pasta in their menus. Students who are related to politicians or other public figures have had screenshots of their profiles or photo albulms taken and shared in an attempt to embarrass their relatives. However, in most of the country, in many ways, the variety of imported food is limited; for example, it is rare to find pasta that is not of the spaghetti or macaroni varieties in supermarkets or restaurants; bread is very rarely of any variety but white; and varieties of imported cereal are also very limited, usually either frosted or chocolate flavored. [28]. In Tokyo, it is quite easy to find restaurants serving authentic foreign cuisine. Whether or not this practice is common is unknown, but students looking for jobs should be aware that information posted on Facebook is potentially accessible to employers with faculty or alumni accounts. The Japanese also alter American-style fast-food, serving such items as green-tea milkshakes and fried shrimp burgers at chains like Lotteria. It has been rumored that employers are looking at Facebook profiles of prospective employees or interns. Okinawa has a chain of A&W drive-in restaurants featuring the company's root beer. [15]. These include doughnut and ice cream shops. The police found only cake, no alcohol, and later claimed the dorm raid had been triggered by a noise complaint. Other fast-food establishments are similarly popular. [14] In one case at George Washington University, shown at CakeParty.org, students advertised their party and were raided by campus police. The Japanese often eat at hamburger chains such as McDonald's or Mos Burger, a popular competitor. In response to the monitoring, some students have begun to submit "red herring" party listings. Other examples of changed imported cuisine include:. For example:. Similarly, Japanese pizza may have toppings such as sliced boiled eggs, sweetcorn, shrimps, nori, and mayonnaise instead of tomato sauce. Students who violate these policies may be discovered through photographs of illicit drinking behavior, membership in drinking-related groups, or party information posted on the Facebook website. For example, the Korean pickle kimchi, usually fermented in Korea, in Japan is instead often simply pickled, without a key Korean ingredient, fermented shrimp. It has become increasingly common for colleges and universities to use Facebook to investigate underage drinking and violations of dry campus policies. Many imported foods are made suitable for the Japanese palate by reducing the amount of spice used or changing a part of a recipe. Facebook's Terms of Use specify that "the website is available for your personal, noncommercial use only," misleading some to believe that college administrators and police may not use the site for conducting investigations. Historically, foods such as castella and bread were originally imported from Portugal, and the name pan for bread is a loanword from Portuguese. The information students provide on Facebook has been used in investigations by university and local police. Chinese, French, Italian and Spanish cuisine is of particular interest to Japanese people. Contrary to these rumors, we are not harvesting data for the CIA or any other group." [10]. Japan has incorporated imported food from across the world (mostly from Asia, Europe and to a lesser extent the Americas). In addition to assuring the removal of the opt-in features, he also denied any data mining, saying "we have absolutely no relationship with any government agency. Japanese food, which had been quite exotic in the West as late as the 1970s, is now quite at home in parts of the continental United States, and has become an integral part of food culture in Hawaii. He said that the Facebook "used to have a couple features on the site that aren’t still there, such as collecting users’ away messages from AIM (if they said they wanted it) and displaying mentions of their names in campus newspapers (again, upon request)". However thanks to some recent trends in American culture such as Iron Chef and Benihana, Japanese culinary culture is slowly fusing its way into American life. In response to these concerns, on January 16, 2006, Chris Hughes (Facebook's spokesman), stated that the above clause related to the collection of information would not be included in a new version of the privacy policy. Teppanyaki is said to be an American invention, as is the California roll (not to mention the Philadelphia roll), and while the former has been well received in Japan the latter has not and has, at worst, been termed not sushi by Japanese people. This information is gathered regardless of your use of the Web Site." There is also some concern because of this statement as well: "We may share your information with third parties, including responsible companies with which we have a relationship.". United States. According to the Privacy Policy, "Facebook also collects information about you from other sources, such as newspapers and instant messaging services. Sushi is vinegared rice topped or mixed with various fresh ingredients, usually fish or seafood. There is also some concern over the privacy agreement. Sashimi is raw, thinly sliced foods served with a dipping sauce and simple garnishes; usually fish or shellfish but can be almost anything including beef, horse and chicken. Some theories have been written about the possible misuse of Facebook [9]. However, the Japanese appetite for rice is so strong that many restaurants even serve ramen-rice combination sets. Recently there have been some worries of the use of Facebook as a means of surveillance and data mining. Noodles often take the place of rice in a meal. Although this practice is against Facebook policy (as the Facebook FAQ says, "Dude, everyone knows that you aren't Paris Hilton") and requests for name changes must be approved by Facebook staff, new fake profiles continue to be created. A one-bowl dish of hot steamed rice with various savory toppings. As a result, littering Facebook's database are profiles for real-life historical figures, celebrities, and campus personalities such as football coaches, university presidents, athletics mascots, and even inanimate objects such as beer. It is not generally thought possible to make authentic Japanese food without shō-yu (soy sauce), miso and dashi. Since registration is open to all email addresses within a specific domain name (@school.edu), students with access to more than one such email address may take advantage of the situation to create fake profiles. See also Category:Japanese ingredients. Perhaps in response to this phenomenon, Facebook's "How do you know this person?" feature, introduced in December 2005, presents users with the option, "I don't even know this person." If this option is selected, the software replies, "Then why are you friends with them?" and presents the user with the option of removing them as a friend. In some regions every 1st and 15th day of the month people eat a mixture of rice and adzuki (azuki meshi). Facebook has since placed a limit on how many friends a user may request at a time. Major such combinations include:. Students have also created programs which spam others with friendship requests. In Japanese tradition some dishes are strongly tied to a festival or event. Charlie Rosenbury's list of friends was lowered by Facebook staff to 4,000 [8]. Chopsticks are generally placed at the very front of the tray near the diner with pointed ends facing left and supported by a chopstick holder, or hashioki (箸置き). Since then, Facebook staff have cracked down on those who collected too many friends, saying that Facebook "was not designed to do complex manipulations with exceedingly long lists of friends" and that the addition of users that one doesn't know as 'friends' "creates an unrealistic aberration in the real life social network that makes the site less useful for regular users" [7]. Pickled vegetables are often served as well, and eaten at the end of the meal, but are not counted as part of three side dishes. Newsweek called Charlie Rosenbury, the University of Missouri student who amassed over 70,000 friends, the site's celebrity [6]. Behind these are three flat plates to hold the three side dishes, one to far back left (on which might be served a simmered dish), one at far back right (on which might be served a grilled dish), and one in the center of the tray (on which might be served boiled greens). With many users having friend counts of over 500, it is possible that the user does not know all of his or her "friends," let alone has met them all in person. Nearest the diner are the rice bowl on the left and the soup bowl on the right. Users often boast of their "friend" count, with special emphasis going to the number of friends at other universities. Typically, five separate bowls and plates are set before the diner. Another criticism, which many claim as their reason for not using it, is its tendency to become a popularity contest. Traditional table settings are based on the ichijū-sansai formula. Furthermore, there are still many bugs in the coding that have caused minor problems for some users. Larger low tables (chabudai, ちゃぶ台) that accommodated entire families were becoming popular by the beginning of the 20th century, but these gave way to western style dining tables and chairs by the end of the 20th century. Problems with maintenance have been an issue as many new accounts are made each day causing heavy traffic for the servers. Before the 19th century, small individual box tables (hakozen, 箱膳) or flat floor trays were set before each diner. Facebook has stated on its website that security purposes prevent them from allowing outsiders to see one's profile. The traditional Japanese table setting has varied considerably over the centuries, depending primarily on the type of table common during a given era. Facebook has been criticized for not allowing users to view profiles of people at other colleges who have not already listed them as a friend (or "poked" them). Salamander is eaten as well in places. Also provided are current trends: the fastest rising and falling items on the lists. In some regions, grasshoppers (inago) and bee larvae (hachinoko) are not uncommon dishes. Movies, Music, Television, Books, Hometowns, etc.) for both the user's school and other institutions or the Facebook community in general. Although most Japanese eschew eating insects, there are a couple of exceptions. The page displays Top Ten lists for various sections of the profile (e.g. Ramen is served in a variety of soup stocks ranging from soy sauce/fish stock to butter/pork stock. The "Pulse" page provides statistics and trends (much like Google's Zeitgeist), updated daily, regarding members of the website. A more recent import from China, dating to the early 19th century, is ramen (ラーメン; Chinese wheat noodles), which has become extremely popular. The website also generates revenue from mainstream advertisers who are interested in targeting college students, such as Apple Computer. Both are generally served in a soy-flavored fish broth with various vegetables. All features are free, except for public announcements, which are a type of advertising students can purchase on Facebook. Made from wheat flour, udon (うどん) is a thick, white noodle. Tagged users also have the option of "untagging" themselves from pictures. Made from buckwheat flour, soba (蕎麦) is a thin, brown noodle. This allows one to view all the pictures on Facebook of a particular person, regardless of who uploaded them. There are two traditional types of noodle, soba and udon. Users can "tag" or list who is in each photo with tags, tying photos to account holders or applying other tags of their choosing. Noodles, originating from China, have become an essential part of Japanese cuisine. Users can upload apparently unlimited numbers of photos to their Facebook accounts and sort them in named albums. Beef and chicken are commonly eaten and have become part of everyday cuisine. Another feature is the My Photos page. Although not known as a meat eating country, very few Japanese consider themselves vegetarians. Now, users have the ability to create new posts on others' walls, and the wall owner is able to remove unwanted posts. Since Japan is an island nation, its people consume much seafood including fish, shellfish, octopus, squid, crabs, lobsters, shrimp and seaweed. However, in late 2005, the "wall" was changed to a message board format, and users no longer edit it as before. There may also be chapters devoted to soups, sushi, rice, noodles, and sweets. Initially, if one had his "wall" enabled, his friends could edit the wall as they chose, and walls were not divided into separate entries. Chapters are organized according to cooking techniques: fried foods, steamed foods, and grilled foods, for example, and not according to particular ingredients (e.g., chicken or beef) as are western cookbooks. Unlike poking and messaging which are completely private, visible to only the sender and designated receiver, walls are visible to every person who has access to that person's profile. This Japanese view of a meal is reflected in the organization of traditional Japanese cookbooks. In addition to sending messages and poking other, people can also write on the "walls" of others' Facebooks to convey messages to their friends. Ichijū-sansai often finishes with pickles such as umeboshi and green tea. Although it is not possible to view the profiles of non-mutual friends from other schools, they can still be messaged or poked. The three side dishes are usually raw fish (sashimi), a grilled dish, and a simmered (sometimes called boiled in translations from Japanese) dish -- although steamed, deep fried, vinegared, or dressed dishes may replace the grilled or simmered dishes. While it is sometimes used as a playful way to flirt on Facebook when a user develops an interest in another's picture or the information that he or she provides, it is most often used as a joke amongst mutual friends, since those who are already acquainted with each other have more efficient ways, such as Facebook's internal private messaging system, to make contact. The most common meal, however, is called ichijū-sansai (一汁三菜; "one soup, three sides"), or soup, rice, and three side dishes, each employing a different cooking technique. While the creators of Facebook maintain that there is no actual intended purpose for implementing the "poking" option, it is often used simply to gain the attention of the person who is poked. A traditional Japanese breakfast, for example, usually consists of miso soup, rice, and a pickled vegetable. The "poke" feature simply sends the text, "You have been poked," and provides an option to poke back. This means soup, rice, and one accompanying side dish--usually a pickled vegetable like daikon. Facebook also allows users to send private messages and “pokes” to other users. The simplest Japanese meal, for example, consists of ichijū-issai (一汁一菜; "one soup, one side" or "one dish meal"). A user who creates a party listing can also invite friends from other schools. Traditional Japanese meals are named by the number of side dishes that accompany the rice and soup that are nearly always served. Groups made by a user are limited to membership within the user's school; however, some advertisers can create groups that have membership from all campuses. Anything else served during a meal--fish, meat, vegetables, tsukemono (pickles)--is considered a side dish, known as okazu. Like the groups feature, the party listing has also been used for jokes, although fraternities often announce parties through this. Traditional Japanese cuisine is dominated by white rice (hakumai, 白米), and few meals would be complete without it. Facebook also includes a feature that allows users to list parties, invite users and receive RSVPs. . These groups range from online mirrors of real campus organizations, such as fraternities and sororities, sports, and recognized clubs, to common interest groups (such as people from the same area code or people who attended a public school), to joke groups. Many Japanese think of the everyday food of the Japanese people--especially that existing before the end of the Meiji Era (1868 - 1912) or before World War II. Members may also create and join groups. Many think of sushi or the elegant stylized formal kaiseki meals that originated as part of the Japanese tea ceremony. These individuals' Facebook pictures are also shown on the page according to the first point in time that the user has indicated he or she knew the friend. There are many views of what is fundamental to Japanese cuisine. For each year, the timeline presents the people that the user had social contact with, through courses, clubs, residences, etc, and also groups them according to information that the user specifies, such as different courses or clubs. Korean Naengmyun with thicker noodles and a different broth. The "Social Timeline" feature uses the information provided through friend details to construct a complete social timeline for the user. Korean barbecue that is unflavored and is dipped in sauce before eating for flavor. Until they are confirmed, these details are visible only to the user who submits them; once confirmed, they are visible to anyone who views either user's friend list. Japanese-only "Chinese dishes" like Ebi Chili (shrimp in a tangy and slightly spicy sauce). Users are given the option of confirming or editing friend details about them submitted by other users. Spaghetti with creamy shrimp, lobster, crab, Alaska pollock roe or sea urchin sauce, or a non-creamy light sauce topped with seaweed, or made with tomato ketchup, weiners, sliced onion and green pepper (called 'neapolitan'). Most of these options are customizable; for example, a user who knows a particular friend through an organization can also specify what the name of the organization was and the time period that they knew each other through that group. Konowata. For each friend, a user has the option of selecting how they know the individual, including these options:. Karasumi.

Azuki Ice - vanilla flavored ice cream with sweet azuki beans. Users can then search for other users and request an acknowledgment that they are "friends." A count of one's friends and the ability to browse a list of friends is available on each user's profile. Other Snack
Mirucurepu - "mille crepe" - layered crepe. A user may only view the profiles of users at his or her institution, although mutual friends from different schools may access each other's profiles. Kasutera - "Castella" Iberian-style sponge cake. The profiles of users from each institution included in the network are stored on a unique subdomain, which limits profile viewing. Yogashi - Western-style sweets, but in Japan typically very light or spongy
Sosu Senbei - Thin wafers eaten with soy sauce. Information that the user may display include:. Ramune - Sweet candy that melts in your mouth.
