Vegemite

Although it's not Japanese, we tried it for the first time in Japan! There is an international grocery store not far from us, and I just had to get it. I've always heard mixed reviews (2% good, 98% bad) and had to find out for myself. I knew to use it sparingly since it's easily overpowering. We tried it on toast and I also nibbled a bit off a knife. It's definitely NOT for us. I forced myself to finish the toast, and that was no easy feat. Now we are stuck with a whole jar of Vegemite....
