One of the first things I did when I learned I was selected as an RTG Ambassador was to search Tiktok and find places to taste fabulous food. I had a mission to taste thousands of new flavors, and I can thankfully say that my mission was accomplished during the trip! Each spoon was full of incredible spices and finding restaurants became a new adventure. In the beginning, I was scared of trying new flavors. Especially since Japan?s food is very different from what I am familiar with. The closest I had tried before was sushi, and to be completely honest, the sushi I ordered usually involved cream cheese, avocado, and sometimes, Takis. Flavors that may not be typically found in Japan. As I ventured into trying new food, I was pleasantly surprised with all the different dishes and food available in Japan. The first thing that I tried was the Harajuku corn dogs. Getting those corn dogs took a while due to a long line, but it was more than worth it. To this day, I dream of having another bite. While this type of corn dog can have sausage in it, there are different versions of it. Some of them have cheese, others have sausage, and you can even find a version with both sausage and cheese inside. The experience of the Harjuku corn dogs became one of my favorites moments on the trip. Food can connect people together, and the universe reminded me at that moment of the importance food has in my life. While eating the delicious corn dogs, a girl asked us which country we were visiting. We started talking and realized we had a lot of things in common, and after a few minutes into the conversation, we exchanged social media information. I kept in touch with her, and she made the cordial offer that if I ever visit Germany, we can see each other again!
