Today's lunch

(In a casual tone)
I mixed bonito flakes with steamed rice and seasoned it with soy sauce for lunch today. After many years, I am finally convinced that the amount used is very small, so if it's contaminated in any way it'll be ok. I will use it sporadically. Anyway, it's a beloved meal in Japan from ...I don't know, but a long long time ago. It's also famous for being fed to cats, and we call it 'nekomanma'. I've just learned that it's eastern Japanese style cat meal, and in western area it's miso-soup over rice.


今日のランチはかつお節ご飯にしました。何年もかかってようやく私も、使う量が少ないんだから、もし万が一、汚染されていても大丈夫だと納得したのです。たまにしか使わないつもりです。それはともかく、これは日本で…知らないけど、はるか昔から愛されてきた食べ物です。猫にあげることでも有名で、「ねこまんま」と呼びます。調べてみたら、これは関東風のねこまんまなんだそうで、関西風のねこまんまは味噌汁がけご飯だそうです。

I'm not sure you need to explain this is in a casual tone. It would be natural to write like this about a personal topic (compared to an essay for school). We do not have polite and casual speech in English the way Japanese has different forms of speech.

After many years, I am finally convinced that the amount of bonito used is very small, so if it's contaminated in any way it'll be ok.

I will not use it sporadicallyvery often.

It's also famous for being fed to cats, and we call it 'nekomanma'.

I've just learned that it's eastern Japanese style cat meal, and in western area it's miso-soup over rice.

Does this mean in the east the cats eat "nekomanma" and in the west, the cats eat miso soup over rice?

I loved learning about this. I love bonito flakes so I am going to have to try this! : )

Thank you for your correction. I need to explain my intended mood because otherwise some people correct it in a way that I don't mean. For example, I wrote "... but I don't know" and someone would correct it to a style that is acceptable for a grammar test or something.
About 'nekomanma,' I meant western and eastern areas in Japan.

After many years, I am finally convinced that the amount of ADD SUBJECT HERE used is very small, so if it's contaminated in any way it'll be ok.

I am not sure what the subject here is. Is it the soy sauce you are talking about?

I will use it sporadically.

I am not sure what “it” is referring to in this sentence.

I've just learned that it's eEastern Japanese style cat meal, and in the western area of Japan it's miso-soup over rice.

You should capitalize words north/east/south/west when they are used with a proper noun. When you are talking about a general area, you do not need to capitalize. Ex: Eastern Japan vs east of Japan. Western Europe vs. the western part of Europe.

Good job! Be careful when you use “it”. If you are not careful, the reader will not know what “it” is referring to in your sentences.

Thank you. True. I was kind of aware that I've been using 'it' carelessly recently.

After many years, I am finally convinced that the amount I used is very small, so if it's contaminated in any way it'll still be ok.

It wasn't wrong but this makes it clearer to me that you are referring to the flakes.

I will use it sporadically.
