Pretty much all food takes some getting used to. You might enjoy Japan more if you just keep trying some of the food a bit more. Before I came here there were a lot of things I didn't like or at least thought I didn't like... a lot of it I got over and have come to really enjoy it.
Have you heard of the "Yummy Phase" before?

At the same time, it's not like I've expressed my specific dietary needs in this thread. While I did say I'm a picky eater, I've never gone into specifics as to why I eat the way I do. Would I still be immature if I told you I have quite a few food allergies, and I happen to live in a country where I can't really read food labels and can't fully express my needs at restaurants (but I'm not blaming the country for this)?
And on top of that, I do feel like I have the right to express that there are still quite a few foods that I don't like anyway, even the same foods I can get back home.
