2. Today's topic
* **Kaise don (海鮮丼)** literally translates to "seafood bowl" and is a vibrant dish featuring an assortment of fresh seafood piled generously over a bed of steaming white rice. The type of seafood can vary depending on the season and region, but commonly includes items like tuna, salmon, yellowtail, shrimp, scallops, sea urchin, and tobiko (flying fish roe). The seafood is often sliced thinly or cubed and may be marinated in a light sauce or simply served fresh. A dollop of wasabi paste and pickled ginger (gari) are usually served on the side to add flavor and freshness.

* **Ramen (ラーメン)** is a Japanese noodle soup dish that consists of Chinese-style wheat noodles served in a rich and flavorful broth. There are many regional variations of ramen, but the most common broths are shio (salt), shoyu (soy sauce), miso (fermented soybean paste), and tonkotsu (pork bone). The noodles are typically thin and springy, and the toppings can include sliced pork (chashu), marinated soft-boiled eggs (ajitama), seaweed (nori), bamboo shoots (menma), green onions (negi), and various other vegetables. Ramen is a hearty and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cold winter day.
