Hi, Charles here. Some links to stuff I wrote:
How many kanji do you need to know? - Japanese people don’t know as many kanji as you might think!
How to learn Japanese from anime - I wrote this last month but didn’t share it. Some thoughts on how (and when) to learn Japanese from TV/anime.
Please reply in the comments if there’s anything you want me to write about! I’m trying to do 1-2 blog posts a week, so any ideas are appreciated.

皆さん、お元気ですか?
私たちは、気になっている近所のカフェがありました。
最近、そこへよく行くようになりました。
コーヒーがとてもおいしくて、気にいっています。
私達は、外の席でのんびりします。
今日は、そのカフェでブログを書いています。

さて、今日は日本のポテトチップスを紹介します。
日本の食材や調味料の味付けをよく使います。
今日は3種類紹介します。
一つ目は、しょうゆマヨ味です。
この味は初めて買いました。

しょうゆとマヨネーズは、日本でよく使う調味料です。
慣れている味です。
私もチャールズも気に入りました。
次に、のりしょうゆ味です。

こちらも和風ですね。美味しかったです。
のりは、おにぎりやお寿司など、ご飯と一緒に食べることが多いです。
でも、のり味のポテトチップスも人気があります😊
次に、私の弟が好きな、わさビーフです。

辛いわさび味が特徴です。
私は料理でわさびを使いませんが、このポテトチップスは時々食べます。
ポテトチップスは、地域限定で色んな味があります。
例えば、東京は天ぷら味です。
旅行に行く時は、よくチェックします。
コンビニ限定の味もありますよ。
私達は、新しい味を見つけると必ず買っています😁
食べすぎないよう、気をつけていますが😅
たまにチャールズが全部食べていて、私が怒る時もあります。
美味しいものは、仲良く食べないとケンカになりますよね。
日本には美味しいお菓子がたくさんあるので、またご紹介します。
それでは、また!!

Hi everyone, how are you?
There was a cafe in our neighborhood that we were curious about.
Recently, we started going there.
The coffee is delicious, so we like it.
We relax in the outdoor seating.
Today, I am writing this blog post at that cafe.

Today I will introduce Japanese potato chips.
Japanese potato chips are often flavored with Japanese ingredients and spices.
Today, I will cover three kinds.
First is “soy sauce mayonnaise.”
It was my first time buying this one.

Soy sauce and mayonnaise are commonly-used ingredients in Japan.
They are flavors that we are used to.
Both Charles and I liked this one.
Next is norishoyu or “seaweed soy sauce.”

This one is Japanese-style as well. It was tasty.
Seaweed is often eaten with rice dishes like onigiri (rice balls) and sushi.
However, seaweed-flavored potato chips are popular too😊
Next is a flavor that my brother likes: wasabeef or “wasabi beef.”

This one features the spicy flavor of wasabi.
I do not use wasabi when I cook, but I do eat these potato chips from time to time.
In Japan, there are many flavors of potato chips that are “region limited.”
For example, Tokyo has potato chips that are flavored like tempura.
When we travel, we often check what flavors there are.
There are also flavors that you can only buy at convenience stores.
Whenever we find a new flavor, we always buy it 😁
Of course, we are also careful not to eat them too much😅
Sometimes, Charles eats all of the chips and I get angry at him.
If you don’t share delicious things, it can lead to a fight!
Japan has many delicious snacks, so I’ll introduce them again sometime.
See you!!
P.S. Thanks for reading/listening. Please let us know any thoughts, feedback, or suggestions in the comments. Or just comment to practice your Japanese! We’ll try to reply to everything. Cheers~
