As it turns out, "jingisukan" is a grilled mutton dish that's popular in Hokkaido (where the game takes place).<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingisukan<br /><br /> By looking at the picture of the haiku construction menu (day 6), I then did my own translation (based on my admittedly somewhat limited Japanese skills) which reads as follows:<br /><br />The wind smells sweet<br />tonight at the house<br />(it's) grilled mutton<br /><br />Still isn't what I would call the height of poetry, but it at least makes some sense as a bit of mildly punny nostalgia.Carl Salbackanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135815543912646655.post-15211600412142263762010-07-16T03:43:37.286-04:002010-07-16T03:43:37.286-04:00I've read the translation, and the Genghis Kha...I've read the translation, and the Genghis Khan one doesn't quite make sense...
