What is this food called?

[gturner]

Grey quoted wiki, which said:

It is named after the Shinto god Inari, who is believed to have a fondness for fried tofu.

A transcendant being has no need of biochemical nutrition, nor a taste for fish, and thus I denounce Inari as a false god.

Also, the tofu thing was a dead giveaway. No highly advanced lfe form would eat that stuff. The one true God forbade the consumption of shellfish, crustaceans, and other sea life that can't be fried and served like catfish with hushpuppies and cole slaw, and his reign shall last until the end of time, or until the tartar sauce runs out, whichever comes first.

INARI!!! *drool*

That's one of my favorite sushi-type items. The wrapper is like deep-fried tofu that's *somehow* formed into a thin pocket or pouch...and it's soaked in like some sweet..something (mirin...?) and stuffed with sticky rice with maybe some sesamie seeds and sometimes other stuff (like the seaweed salad I guess.)

I don't know very many people other than me who like this dish..

I want some right now.

A dead, false god.

I've had good kimchi at restaurants, but the stuff I've gotten in a jar from the Asian grocery stores basically tastes like sauerkraut mixed with siracha.
