They serve those at Tampopo Noodle Cafe in lowertown Saint Paul. I don’t like pickles (the cucumber variety), but I actually do like those neon pink things. Maybe because I’m eating them in a Japanese restaurant and I expect unfamiliar tastes.
HAHAHAHAHA! I’m an ALT in the JET Program currently and I know this situation EXACTLY. I’m sitting at my desk right now in the teachers’ room as I type this…
The Tonoharu book (part I) was absolutely dead on accurate about life in Japan as an ALT. In fact, I think I’m going to go advertise on my blog right now.

Tsukemono is totally safe for the trash. It will dry out, but will not stink at all.
The pink ones in the bentos aint so great, but the fresh ones at the super market are out of sight.
