定食 Teishoku refers to set meals offered at casual restaurants in Japan, and they feature a variety of main dishes. For example,
焼き魚定食 Yakizakana Teishoku
Grilled fish meal
パスタセット Pasuta Setto
Pasta meal
ハンバーグ定食 Hanbaagu Teishoku
Hamburg steak meal
刺身定食 Sashimi Teishoku
Sashimi meal
揚げ出し豆腐定食 Agedashi-dōfu Teishoku
Deep-fried tofu meal
とんかつ定食 Tonkatsu Teishoku
Pork cutlet meal
カレーライスセット Karé-raisu Setto
Curry rice meal
But with so many choices, I sometimes see Japanese women stuck in choice paralysis. They can’t decide what to have for a good 5 minutes, and you may experience that, too.
So here’s solution. Become a Japanese man. Adopt the simplicity of our minds. We open the menu, and within the next second, 2/3 of the menu is grayed out. We only see hamburg, curry, or cutlet. What gives us the most energy or protein? Nothing else is taken into consideration.
Which is bad for your health. But we can’t help it. So what we need is a girlfriend who pressures us to try healthy-but-less-obviously-tasty food options and learn to like them. That’s how the average Japanese man lives 81 years, not 70.
Average life expectancy of
Japanese men: 81.91 years
Japanese women : 87.14 years
So cherish your choice paralysis. Take your men with you into that abyss and enjoy slow food, slow life ☺️👍.
