When I went to Osaka in my teens I remember all these street vendors cooking food just like that. We didn't try them though. I was thinking it must taste good and how cool to charcoal inside the house rather than outside with all that smoke and sparks whirling around. Hhhhmmmm, I'd go take a look.

Well, you can't fly it out, so then they tried to mail it to themselves in Hawaii, and the post office in Japan wouldn't even allow that to happen. So they had to mail it to a friend in Japan who's going to try to mail it out here.
