UlasanAnime.com – The author likens the experience of traveling to Japan for live performances, shopping, and socializing with friends to attending an anime convention. The decision to bring a camera, visit a maid cafe, or see cosplayers is presented as optional, much like at a convention.
However, the author emphasizes a definite intention to explore and enjoy the local cuisine. This aspect of international travel is highlighted as unique, with food culture being an integral and diverse part of the human experience. It’s described as nourishing and a way to appreciate culture through multiple senses.

The author notes that both America and Japan excel at incorporating foreign culinary concepts and transforming them into interesting and delicious dishes. This competitive yet collaborative culinary landscape is seen as a win for everyone involved.
This observation leads to the idea of a “Japanese food con in America,” which the author believes would be a good concept and perhaps has already been implemented.
Sharing meals with friends, even those met online, is identified as a significant guilty pleasure. The author expresses hope that attendees of Anime Expo this weekend will embrace similar opportunities for connection. The possibility of replicating this experience at Otakon is also mentioned, with a reference to the “Anime Diet” guys potentially organizing something similar.
The author clarifies the purpose of the post: if readers encounter a review of “Evangelion 2.0” on the blog, it would be because they were out of town to catch the film. Similarly, attending a concert, such as one by Yoko Kanno or another event, would also be a reason for absence. The absence of any posts would indicate that the author is engaged in such activities.
