David Chang does a breakdown of it in his mind of a chef series. It's an extremely popular topping for Japanese Okonomiyaki.

I think it was dried squid or something similar, perhaps fish. <br />Regarding Olynpus Viewer 3, I understand your pain. It is sluggish and definitely tests your patience to its limits. I also wish the software is improved and I do not see why this is not achieveable. One of my constant feedbacks to my colleagues in Japan.

So I know what soba noodles are, but what is that shaved thin sliced stuff used as a garnish? <br /><br />Regarding OV3, do you find the slider controls kind of 'jumpy'? I did a comparison between OV3 and ACDSee for my own blog, and I had a very hard time with fine tuning the image with OV3. The big changes were good and easy with OV3, but I found those those small incremental changes rather difficult to do with OV3. <br /><br />I realize Olympus isn't a software company, but just a few changes to OV3 could convert it from an 'OK' software to very good and competitive software. OK my rant is over!Glen BArringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14059587483668684991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-22339598472528838922016-06-03T08:14:09.782+08:002016-06-03T08:14:09.782+08:00Sometimes portraits can be just way too sharp, but...Sometimes portraits can be just way too sharp, but it does show off what the lens can do.Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826183239028489560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-76688436881099776352016-06-02T20:20:51.680+08:002016-06-02T20:20:51.680+08:00amazing work! keep sharing such wonderful work
