I&#8217;m \u201cPudding\ud83c\udf6e\u201d from Team 1.<br>At Dandelions, we regularly hold recreational events to foster camaraderie among employees. This time, Team 1 hosted an outing to a Myanmar restaurant near Fushimi Station!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of you might be wondering, \u201cWhy Myanmar cuisine?\u201d Actually, Team 1 has a member from Myanmar, and this project started from the idea that \u201cSince we have this chance, let&#8217;s make it a recreation where we can experience a culture outside of Japan!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1>Hesitation during the planning stage<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, Myanmar cuisine wasn&#8217;t the only option from the start. Since the event was held in winter, close to Christmas, ideas like a gift exchange were also proposed.<br>We tried taking a survey within Team 1, but opinions just wouldn&#8217;t come together\u2026<br>Therefore, we&#8217;ve decided to conduct a company-wide survey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result was\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Myanmar cuisine: 58.3%<\/li><li>Gift Exchange: 41.7%<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The opinions were evenly split until the very end, making for a fascinating outcome.<br>In the end, it was decided by a narrow margin: Myanmar cuisine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1>Off to the store!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>I made a reservation at a recommended Myanmar restaurant, and the day finally arrived. To begin with, I was shocked to learn there are only about three restaurants serving Myanmar cuisine around Nagoya Station\u2026!<br>Upon entering the shop, the first thing I noticed was the exotic aroma.<br>Perhaps it was spices. A unique scent, unlike anything I&#8217;d smelled much in Japan, filled the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1>My thoughts after actually trying it<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>The dishes we were served this time included a wide variety, such as <strong>Mon Hinga<\/strong> (a traditional Myanmar breakfast dish featuring rice noodles in a soup made with catfish or other fish), <strong>Che Oo Sittar<\/strong> (a stir-fried noodle dish with pork and quail eggs), and <strong>Wetta Daw Taw<\/strong> (a street stall staple where pork and offal are skewered and simmered in a soy sauce-based broth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, I expected the food to have a stronger flavor profile, but when I actually tried it, the seasoning was very easy to eat, even for Japanese people.<br>However, there are quite a few spicy dishes, so those who aren&#8217;t fond of spicy food might want to be a bit cautious.<br>Even if you think while eating, \u201cThis is just the right amount of spice and delicious,\u201d sometimes the heat creeps up on you afterward, and you can&#8217;t stop sweating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every dish was something rarely found in Japan, allowing us to fully enjoy Myanmar&#8217;s culinary culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper-container\"><ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\"><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-6986\" data-id=\"6986\" src=\"http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LFIA6713-1024x768.jpeg\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LFIA6713-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LFIA6713-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LFIA6713-768x576.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LFIA6713-1536x1153.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LFIA6713-2048x1537.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_image wp-image-6987\" data-id=\"6987\" src=\"http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LNSX6434-1024x768.jpeg\" srcset=\"http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LNSX6434-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LNSX6434-300x225.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LNSX6434-768x576.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LNSX6434-1536x1153.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/dandelions.co.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/LNSX6434-2048x1537.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-prev swiper-button-prev swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-next swiper-button-next swiper-button-white\" role=\"button\"><\/a><a aria-label=\"Pause Slideshow\" class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_button-pause\" role=\"button\"><\/a><div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_pagination swiper-pagination swiper-pagination-white\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1>Recreation begins!!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, we didn&#8217;t just enjoy the recommended dishes; this time we also split into three groups for a little activity.<br>The idea was to each rank \u201cdishes that people from Myanmar find delicious\u201d and \u201cdishes that Japanese people find delicious,\u201d then compare them!<br>When we actually tasted them side-by-side, differences in taste perception and preferences became apparent.
