Just a quick post on the different priorities of cooks in Japan:
This microwave has 2 buttons. The first is labelled あたためる (atatameru, to warm), with a picture of a bowl of rice. The lower one is labelled 生ものの解凍 (namamono no kaitou, or defrosting raw things). Look closely at the picture, though. That’s right, the one thing they decided to use to represent all possible raw foods was: a squid!
