Tonight she surprised me with this gift set:
Now, I don't do much Japanese food, but I do cook various Asian food so I'm still pretty stoked! The labels are indeed just Japanese but the wife read off the list from her order form. A couple are geared toward "western meat eaters", one is aimed at fish, one noodles, and I think one general.
Since I have like 50 odd years of Kikkoman, this should be an adventure!
