What people said
Just end already, this garbage show
A drain on society
That's not true at all
Maybe she's a touch too tall
Rare case of tall AND cute
Couldn't touch them for 22 years, but then I saw a late-night shopping channel grilling shiitake with butter on top, suddenly wanted some, and went out and bought some.
You get less sensitive to bitterness as you age,
so suddenly liking something is pretty common.
Green peppers (piman) are the classic example.
Try raw green pepper topped with chicken tsukune (ground chicken meatballs) — ridiculously good.
For Kosaka it's not about taste — it's trypophobia (fear of clustered patterns).
they're popular for a reason, so if you don't like them, just don't eat them.
Same goes for tuna and octopus — don't eat those either, then.
Frozen or canned, it's the best 👍
That fluffy texture always comes stuck to a crunchy, gritty shell.
My throat used to get scratchy whenever I ate melon, but I kept eating it anyway because it was so good — now though, my throat swells up and I have trouble breathing.
— Uchaka (a joking riff on Yuchami's name)
so it's plausible a bad experience put someone off it for good
She probably had a properly made version and that overwrote the bad memory.
Michopa
Pachopa
Chanmina
Mirichamu
Yukipoyo
I honestly can't tell them apart anymore
Which one's the one who always carries six bars of yokan (sweet red bean jelly) on her?
Wait, 'Pachopa' is actually a real person?
Even Murashige, Sashihara's protégée, retreated all the way back to Fukuoka.
And the whole 'gal plus airhead' act already ended with Nicole Fujita…
I'll allow it in miso.
In soy sauce (shoyu) ramen? Unforgivable.
Background and talking points
The phenomenon of “suddenly being able to eat a food you used to hate” is usually chalked up to changing taste perception — sensitivity to bitterness and “green” smells is known to decline with age, and strongly-aromatic foods like corn or green peppers are the classic examples people point to. “Chiko-chan Will Scold You!” is a popular NHK variety show built around unveiling guests’ surprising hidden sides and anecdotes. In this thread, discussion drifted away from Yuchami herself toward criticism of the show and gripes about NHK’s mandatory license fee, plus other users’ own stories of overcoming long-standing food aversions; posts amounting to unsourced personal attacks have been left out of this article. Claims raised in the thread, such as “the gal boom is over,” are simply anonymous-forum opinion and have not been confirmed as fact.
