年齢経ると味の好みって変わりがち
Over my 30 years living in Japan, there are some foods that I didn't like at first, but then suddenly learned to love. One of these is Himono (干物), which is traditional Japanese salt-cured and air-dried fish. The fish is typically butterflied (split open lengthwise along the back or belly), and the entrails and blood are thoroughly cleaned out. It is then soaked in a salt-water brine (or seasoned seawater) to cure and build rich umami flavors. Instead of being dried out completely like beef jerky or hard preserved fish, himono is only partially dried. It retains enough internal moisture to stay tender and juicy when cooked, which is usually done over a grill until the skin is lightly charred and the flesh flakes easily. I used to hate this stuff. I wouldn't eat it, but then suddenly, for some reason, liked it. This was only very recently and now I eat himono all of the time. Weird.

真冬よりもこれぐらいの時のが一番恐いんだよな…夏気分でスピード出すやつたまにいるし、逆に恐がりすぎだろってぐらいにノロノロのも居たりして…
