Gyoda Zeri Furai
Made of potatos, okara, green onions and carrots is a fried food from Gyoda city in the Saitama Prefecture, has nothing to do with jelly as the name would suggest. This deep-fried treat is also dipped in Worcestershire sauce to give it a mouth-watering taste.
Anko Nabe
Made of Dashi, Miso, Anko (monkfish), vegetables and mushrooms, is a winter delicacy from Ibaraki Prefecture. Anko nabe was a delicacy in Japan that could be compared to foie gras, as the fish has to be extremely fresh when eaten otherwise the flavour will be lost. Put this dish on your bucket list while you travel to Japan.

Property as an asset is less liquid, requiring huge investments into physical form, monotonous procedures and smaller market.  Liquidity is significant for any tradable  asset , wh
