Story about 天津飯
I don’t know how many people here have watched Dragonball before, but there are two characters in this Japanese anime series called 天津飯 [pronounced Tenshin Han] (Tien Shinhan) and 餃子 [pronounced Gyoza] (Chiaotzu). They are named after two very common menu items of typical Chinese foods in Japan.
Interestingly, in China, especially in the city of Tianjin (天津), there is no such dish called Tenshin Han which literally translates as rice from Tianjin. Tenshin Han is a 100% Japanese invention. It was named as Tenshin han because people who first created it using rice from Tenshin (Tianjin) city in China.
The traditional Tenshin han consists of an omelette with crabmeat (usually artificial crabmeat), bamboo shoots, and shitake mushrooms, with a soy-based sauce that might or might not be sweet and sour depending which region in Japan you ordered this dish.
