it's high time the japanese invested in india instead of their enemy
number one, china. and it's beginning to happen.
you see this in india on the ground. there are more japanese people
visiting bangalore, for the toyota operations and its suppliers, delhi
for honda, and i suppose chennai for the ford and bmw operations.
there are one or two fairly good japanese restaurants i know of:
dahlia in bangalore and chennai, and i'm told there's a good one near
adyar in chennai, whose name i don't remember, and there are others in
delhi and mumbai. as a fan of the subtle flavors of japanese food, i
am pleased. one of the pleasures of california is the easy
availability of japanese (as well as vietnamese, thai, cambodian and
other asian) food.
incidentally, the long-talked-about crash in fish populations has come
about. the tuna catch has crashed seriously, and now the japanese are
finding it increasingly hard to find good tuna for sushi.
there are diminishing fish catches in kerala, too. instead of the
popular ney-meen (which i think is tuna), formerly species that were
thrown away as trash are now the only things available from the
fishermen.
