Taking the bitterness out of Goya?

Today is "Goya Day" and as I wrote in my post about it, my MIL is growing some this year so no doubt we'll be given some to cook. I am not a big fan, because I find it unpleasantly bitter. So, following in the same vein as tonetoedo's mentaiko / karako question - what way do you serve goya? Have you any tips for taking the bitterness out of it?

Unconventional places where you've learned more about life in Japan

BigFamJapan blogged today about learning more about Japan's interesting anniversaries via her car navigation system, and it got me thinking! Do you have any interesting examples of learning more about life in Japan from an unconventional source? Would love to hear about them if you have!

Golden Week 2026 plans?

Are you venturing beyond your prefecture this time? Or sticking close to home? I'm planning on some day trips in my region, Kanto, as I'm committed to work on the Thursdays and Fridays that some people can take off.
