I came to  understood why people say that the food is one of the main reasons you start to feel homesick.

As I was in the U.S for a long time my taste has developed  American cuisines. 

Fortunately we have SUBWAY, KFC, Domino pizza, Mexican food, even American sushi such California roll, spicy tuna roll etc…. but the only American food  I can’t find in Japan was American Chinese food. But the issue has been solved finally. 

Panda express started the business here in Osaka in August. Even during the pandemic the takeout place is always busy.

It may be difficult to find the same authentic products and ingredients that you would in your home country, but it’s not impossible. Research the shops in your new city, or, if you live in a rural area maybe look for shops in the closest big city.

But one thing I can say is here is the only place you can eat American Chinese food. Even you have a Chinese friend I don’t know if he or she can cook American version Chinese food. American Chinese food is totally different from the authentic Chinese cuisine. 

Panda express in Osaka creates the same taste as American Chinese food. It is so yummy. It really reminds me of my days in the U.S. 

When I was in the U.S, my primary diet was a Chinese food or burgers, sandwich, not Japanese. 

Now I can experience both American and Japanese cuisines here in Osaka.
