The stuff on the right looks like gross candy corn.

>>14989382
>crunchberry donut
my dick is so hard it hurts

>>14989387
its not a hard candy
its more like mochi, with bean paste and sugar filling

Flavor vs presentation. I'll take the American ones over the nip trash any time, nipshit candy is basically mouth Apple

there's shitty, greasy food everywhere in the world. if you miss japan so much, why don't you go back?

>>14989391
>bean paste and sugar

Delicate and sophisticated japanese flavors

America's food culture is, as most of america's culture, the result of a identity crisis. Their food usually revolves around taking things from other cultures and americanizing it, which usually means to make it bigger or to add more.

>Flavor

>>14989402
t. ignorant

sweet bean paste is light and mild and eaten in many asian cultures

>>14989417
Better than sugary bean paste or anything normal like chocolate ruined by nip ingredients, like taro or green tea.

>>14989425
>all that chemical laboratory junk is better than just sugar and beans

this is your brain on HFCS, big pharma and monsanto

>>14989428
>c-chemicals!

>>14989428
imagine thinking that monsanto and big pharma are actually out to get you

>>14989436
imagine wanting to eat all that trash willingly
enjoy your palm oil and parabens

>>14989382
A "good" Japanese snack is a mediocre American one, just significantly more expensive.

>>14989382
You can buy expensive sweets in America too, dumbass. /int/fags should be banned on site. Using the word "America" on this board should be a bannable offense, frankly.

>>14989382
>why is this the case
The average american eats like 150 grams of sugar daily so they need to cater to their destroyed palette, sloppy depends where you order it, in a proper bakery the presentation is great, but in fast food joints, where americans buy most of the time, they are sloppily made for obvious reasons

>>14989435
That pic proves him right tho, 1 ingredient, nothing added

>>14989382
wh*teoid ''''''food'''''' was a mistake
>>14989486
how much do you weigh?

>>14989382
All American sweets are doughnuts, and all Japanese sweets are mochi. Good to know.

>>14989435
Coffee is good for you

>>14989436
You're right, they're not out to get you. They're out to get your money, they don't give a fuck about you. That's why you should think twice before you eat their stuff

nip candy

>some kind of poofed flavorless colored rice
>some kind of jiggly flavorless pounded rice filled with bean, potato, seeds
>dyed pure sugar

SUCH DELICACIES

Nobody likes bean paste desserts OP-san, not even Japanese people. You're all just in denial because your food culture is trash

>>14989382
I had that mochi stuff I almost choked that shite turned to glue in my mouth.

>>14989573
>e your food culture is trash
yet endless threads are made gushing over japanese food and OMG SUSHI IS SO GOOD

which is it??

>>14989606
>SUSHI

>rotten rice with fish scraps

MMMMMMMM

>>14989610
We have those in America too. We call them soaps

>>14989382

>>14989382
>America
Cool, badass, awesome

>japan
gay, virgin, suicidal

>>14989420
Isn't "Asian cuisine" the reason why we're in the midst of a global pandemic?

Donut circled looks tasty what is it?

Rate my dognuts

>>14989641
>pandemic
literally faked and gay

>>14989382
Imagine being a self-hating white shilling for bugmen

The OP is just trying to put the US and Japan at odds with each other.
Not even the Weebs, just some kind of Chinese intelligence agency?

Today's Japanese sweets are a fusion of Western culture.
Pure Japanese sweets(wagashi) are not in high demand, even among the Japanese
I guess the only thing left are sweets for the common people, like daifuku and o-hagi.

>>14989382
why do you insist on comparing 30+ dollars worth of designer truffles to 10 dollars worth of gas station donuts?

you should be comparing the same dishes without bias but you already made your mind up about Japan being better than any other country

>>14989647
Fritter, from how dark it is I'd say blueberry.

>>14989420
It taste like shit. Only weebs think it taste good because
>muh culture

>>14989639
Does this retard actually believe this?

>>14989499
You're a dipshit. Those are all the chemicals that are in the coffee bean naturally not added. Seriously I wish organic chemistry was taught mandatory in HS but americans are too stupid.

>>14989435
This is your brain on reddit science. Broscience is unironically superior in every single way, at least when it comes to nutrition science and physiology.

>>14989382
man oh man, Japan really has us beat

>>14989417
It's like soylent. You only need one then you're good on food for the day. The fat may be a problem but it gives you the exact amount of carbs and cholesterol you need and even has vitamins.

>>14990013
>essential amino acids that are in basically every single protein are "chemical ingredients"
You should kys for posting this seriously.

these Japanese donuts really hit different...

>>14990013
Autist, when I look at ingredients I'm not wondering what the osmolality of the chiral mitochlorians is, I just want to know if they added sugar or propylene glycol or guar gum or other unnecessary shit. Dumb fuck. Kill yourself.

>>14989382
>mildly sweet (just right)

Its bland. You've obviously never eaten it before.

>>14990013
This shit is just ZOG propaganda to normalize feeding chemical slop to the goyim

>>14990013
>country with all the world's most intelligent people
>too stupid

When will this meme die?

>>14990023
The amino acids in that egg are chemical ingredients of that egg. Without them, it's not going to be very egg-like at all. Similarly, without all of the emulsifiers, that Baskin Robbins abortion of a milkshake would probably either separate, or become very thin after blending... a few too many instances of paraben (benzene-based) preservatives in there for my liking, but I bet it tastes good. Probably no worse for you than eating mint-flavoured rock sugar with a tylenol chaser.

>vague interest in trying Japanese confectionery
>don't want to go to some American restaurant with white hipsters making fake shitty versions of jap food and charging me twice what they ought to
>cannot afford to go to Japan and think it might actually be slightly unethical to go to nice homogenous countries and stink 'em up with foreign vibes.
Hmmm. Maybe I should try to make this junk myself?

>>14990056
The (only real) problem with that is not having anything to measure your success by. If you don't know how the real deal tastes, you're going to measure your version by a vague idea of it, fed by past experiences of vaguely similar things.

>not taking from both sides and making a jelly (japan) donut (america)

>>14990031
>its not pure HFCS so its bland

jesus christ how ruined are your tastebuds?

>>14989985
It's got to be this way.

>>14990130
thats obviously not japanese.

>>14989382
>i really wish i was back in japan

wow easy choice

>>14990013
Egg is one ingredient. Those are chemical properties of the egg. How about you make a chart for the JUST egg like that. It will be a god damn book.

>>14990015
imagine being this much of a smoothbrain unironically

>>14990276
There was a comparison made here not that long ago. If you double up on compounds found in multiple ingredients, it's really not that much longer. The added length was mainly naturally and lab sourced emulsifiers and thickeners.

>>14989388
more like the top of that donut is so hard your mouth hurts

>>14990290
>emulsifiers and thickeners
I want the god damn chemical properties of soy lecithin and expeller pressed canola oil, this includes all the solvents used to extract said ingredients.

>>14990020
Nigga it has tripple the daily dose on fats

>>14990056
>unethical to go to nice homogenous countries and stink 'em up with foreign vibes
literally the only reason i haven't moved to the nip countryside
nipland belongs to the nips
now if only everyone else would stay out of my country

>>14990343
So go look it up. Check a few sources. You'll find some differences in food-safe solvents with the pressed canola oil, most likely, but some will simply be pressed and centrifuged canola rapeseed.

Why does the mere mention of Japan, especially anything even remotely positive, send the majority of this board into a seething rage filled spiral without fail?
