Getting pissed and eating Okonomiyaki off the hot plate was my favourite thing about Hiroshima.

>>15504254
Stop making this general. The last one was awful.

inb4 "bland"
inb4 pasta
inb4 thai

Since it seems related enough anyone know of good japanese snack boxes? or should I just piecemeal things that seem interesting to me

>>15504267
a thread is what you make of it.

>>15504268
Salty boiled overrated sloppa. Everything tastes like fish
And the rest of it is recipes stolen from the west

>>15504254
they're all shameless ruined versions of original american cuisine. Before america discovered japan they were literally eating dirt

>>15504293
>Everything tastes like fish
Gee anon, why does this hecking island nation have so many gosh darn fish recipes? What could possibly be the reason for this? Inconceivable!

>>15504349
How do you even come up with this factually wrong stuff?

>>15504349
>America
>Cuisine
???

>>15504413
When even non-fish recipes taste like fish you know you have a problem

Got some chicken teriyaki yesterday. Tasted good man

>>15504416
>why is this American so fucking retarded?
Truly, a mystery for the ages.

>>15504349

Where can one acquire cuts of eel? I’ve been dying to make some homemade broiled eel.

>>15504536
Have you tried a fishmonger?

>>15504254
ive never had one of these but they always look so damned good. havent found any place near me that makes them either; theres a few Jap places but none have it on their menu

>>15504555
I suppose I’d have to find one. You’d think living on a fucking island there’d be tons but the closest one is like a half hour away.

>>15504254
japanese food is shit

>>15504744
What Island do you live on?

>>15504776
Pen Island

do you like soy sauce, sugar, and rice wine?
do you like it 3 times a day
every day
for the rest of your life?

>>15504821

>>15504254
I make my own okonomiyaki at home ever since trying it in Tokyo
But mine is ass in comparison

I wish where I lived had a population of Japanese that is equal to the Chinese, maybe then there will be more Japanese restaurants, actual Japanese supermarkets, and cheaper Japanese imports somehow.

>tfw Taisho can just glance at your expression/mood as you enter and tell his wife/server what she needs to pour for you, and it’s sitting in your spot before you are

There is no problem in life with cannot be fixed by time spent in your regular ‘dive’ izakaya.

>>15505102
>tfw no sweet 'zakayas to chill at and drink yuzushu and highballs in Korea

For me it's superior tonkatsu xujatsu Japanese sandwich

for me its just a fucking block of tofu

eating okonomiyaki was great! I enjoyed it almost as much as having sex with my friends girlfriend right after
and then him asking me about it and I denied it and he believed me without question and we are still friends and never talked about it again

>>15506214
you are human trash buddy; comfy thread anyway

>>15506945
girlfriend, not wife.

These lads and other similar treats are quite nice

Do Japs have foods with cheese in it? Or some other form of dairy like cheese

>>15506993
Japanese people do eat cheese too, though I wouldn't say there are many (or any) natively Japanese dishes that use cheese. Obviously Japan has pizza with cheese on it, there's チーズタッカルビ (which is originally more Korean) and you can get beef bowls and so on with cheese too.

>>15504559
They're fine. They mostly just taste like mayonnaise and okonomiyaki sauce with a hint of whatever meat you put in.

>>15506956
You're still scum, and a coward. Didn't even have to balls to tell the man you cucked the truth.

It's not proper food but this stuff's enjoyable

>>15504254
>Saataa andagii!

>>15504413
As much as I want to love Japanese food, I can't. Outside of Ramen and Okonomiyaki most of the food has the same flavor. It's not bad by no means but it isn't isn't on my bucket list when I think of foods to try out. Why is Japanese food taste the same?

>>15507414
i'd eat out Osaka-san if you know what i mean.

>>15507991
sugar, rice wine, soy sauce
repeat and repeat

>>15508256
i dont, can you clarify what you mean??

Does that archiver still come to these threads?

For me, it’s yakisoba.

What a miserable thread full of idiots. Just post more food

>>15509810
Yakisoba is home. That shit was incredible at summer festivals.

>>15507050

what jap food can i make without access to jap ingredients

>>15505102
based and truth.
i had a little one downstairs from my apartment when I lived in Japan.
used to go down nearly every night and buy a drink cuz i used to steal the fuck out of their wifi lmao

>>15509810
i need to learn the secrets of pan-frying noodles without them sticking like fuck

>>15510106
you can buy jap mayo, mirin, seaweed and miso paste in literally any supermarket.

>>15508256
I'd prefer a taste of Sakaki's honeypot if I'm honest

>>15504276
watching yuru camp season 2 and there was a part in one episode about how expensive eel is now in japan

>>15505133
>tfw my izakaya has been closed since last year because cuomo

>>15504254
been watching golden kamuy and boy do they make ainu food look tasty

>>15508256
>>15509555
Okinawan sweets.
https://ryugu.co.jp/

>>15510220
Unfortunately it's been overfished so it makes sense that the price has risen.

>>15507991
Yeah pretty much this, nice sushi joints are good but I can't stand fish so it's just beef and chicken and prawn for me inb4 chink creation

Just wondering, are there any good Japanese cooking shows? Iron Chef would be one, but for instance I weekly watch this Korean show where the presenter helps out restaurrant owners and teaches them how to cook and organize the restaurant but are there any shows like this in Japan? I am not looking for stuff like Kodoku no Gourmet or Midnight Diner.

for me its zaru soba. super delicious and also very easy to make at home

>>15510106
>what jap food can i make without access to jap ingredients
With zero ingredients? None. With what you can find in pretty much any chain grocery? Plenty. Although many people associate Japanese cuisine with seafood almost to the point of exclusivity, there are still out of the way places in Japan even today where you can't easily get fresh high-quality seafood and prior to the advent of refrigeration the availability of fresh seafood plummeted once you started getting into the hills. In those places people ate more venison and poultry than seafood (although preserved seafood was still available, and some freshwater fish and crustaceans on a seasonal basis) and the local ingredients were different.

>>15510117
For me, it's the McYomi.

>>15510364
The NHK's Dining With the Chef isn't what you described (which sounds more like a restaurant show than a cooking show) but in my opinion it's breddy gud.
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/program/video/dwc/?type=tvEpisode&

>>15510444
Thanks for the show recommendation, it isn't exactly that but it does teach about cooking which is good.

>>15510103
you're absolutely fucking disgusting
how can you go to Hokkaido and not eat miso ramen

>>15510297
Believe it or not, Osaka is not from Okinawa.

>>15510643
Osaka made a fuss because they wanted to eat Okinawan sweets. It just is the thing.

Japanese food of Japanese. Japanese food imagined by foreigners.
The two may be a little different.

Anyone here ever had Takoyaki? Is octopus comparable in flavor to say calamari? It looks so good, and I've watched a ton of videos of it being made, but I don't know if it's going to be a waste of time buying a cooker specifically for it.

>>15510364
男ご飯 is another show you could look into if you haven't already

>>15510371
Based, it's especially nice on a hot day

>>15510643
>>15510664
>"Saataa andagi"

>>15510708
octopus doesn't have as strong of a flavor as shrimp or squid. It's a little bit more like chicken or a light fish like tilapia, but it has a much stronger texture, like a very firm shrimp.

>>15510708
it's good, the octopus adds a texture and mild sweetness more than anything
I recommend only eating it if you have a source to get more because its weird and obscure but you'll want to have it often for the rest of your life once you've tried it

if you buy a takoyaki pan just remember you could always use it to make pancake balls for breakfast or desserts any time you want

just don't even think about making them without the sauces and the bonito flakes otherwise you miss the whole point

>>15510723
>>"Saataa andagi"
Osaka is a Japanese high school girl. Okinawa is a region of Japan.
High school girls love sweets. It is natural that they know Okinawan sweets.

>>15510766
>"Saataa andagii"

>>15510772
I am Japanese. Osaka is also Japanese.
Of course, I know about delicious local sweets.

>>15510778
>"Saataa andagii"

I think Japanese donuts are pretty good quality and value. I find that donut chains like Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts where I am (the UK) tend to be relatively expensive compared to Japan's Mister Donuts, which I found to be quite good value.

"Washoku" "Yousyoku" "Tyuuka" All of them are "Japanese food".
Representatives of "Washoku" are sushi, sashimi, and kaiseki.
Representatives of "Yousyoku" are pork cutlet, curry rice, omelet rice, etc.
Representatives of "Tyuuka" are ramen and grilled dumplings.
Only a small part of "Washoku" is purely Japanese in Japanese food.
The Japanese eat them as a matter of course. They are so commonplace that the boundaries are ambiguous to the Japanese.

Japanese typical home-cooked food "Niku_Jaga".

>>15510805
>tyuu
Are you having a stroke, meito?

Curry beef bowl.

Natto miso bolognese spaghetti.

>>15510226
Which one did you go to? I used to go in Flushing but I think it closed down from the coof for good.

Croquette curry udon.

Beef steak bowl.

haha, my izakaya never closed. And we had a barbecue last summer, and we made mochi in December. Must suck that your izakaya fell for the corona virus hoax.

>>15510640
This guy! This guy understands! He understands comedic timing!

>>15510117
Yeeeahhh, I'm thinking based.

>>15510640
I live in Hokkaido and I prefer soy sauce ramen to miso ramen.

>>15510956
I bet you drink asahi too, you degenerate

>>15510962
I only buy Asahi beer occasionally.
I rarely buy Sapporo beer
I always buy Kirin beer

Are you confusing me with someone else?
I'm Japanese.
You can tell by my bad English, can't you?

>>15510985
>Not buying Yebisu

>>15511022
I wouldn't buy Yebisu or Suntory.
I drink more shochu, bourbon, rum, scotch and chuhai than beer to begin with.

>tfw never made a woman make this noise
https://youtu.be/I5Po0dHgDOg?t=178

Which of these would you like to try?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASl--SZBzHI

>>15511022
Yebisu is my fiancée’s favorite.
Mine is Orion; while she does enjoy it too, she is bewildered as to how I could possibly like it more than Yebisu.
Apparently that shouldn’t be possible.

I like Asahi super dry more than Sapporo, Kirin, Yebisu or Orion.

>>15507030
sounds alright, definitely sounds like a food best enjoyed with a beer

>>15506977
What are these

I made anime food a few times

>>15512900
They're called momiji-manjuu. Like a lot of Asian desserts, they typically contain sweet red bean paste.

I know it isn't really food either but umeshu, especially pic related, is enjoyable

Make way for the best sake

>>15504254
>do japs really?

She will turn into a vegan then you will cry. She will kill you if you are a chink.

薬を飲みなさい

DAE nigori sake?

>>15513025
Never had any but I'm interested in trying some. Any recommendations?

>>15513013
Take your meds, insecure weeabo.

>>15513047
You first

>>15513101
Take your meds and dream about a vegan boba, seething weeabo.

I prefer soju over sake. Sake has a petrol quality to it that makes me gag
my friends dad became an alcoholic with soju though, its how he started drinking excessively because its pretty strong for such a smooth easy drinking spirit

soju:Made in Korea
shochu:Made in Japan

where is the dollar bill guy

>>15504267
why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

>>15504254
(skipping the above post) any advice for good drunk japanese food? >>15504259 is right about okonomiyaki, but what else should I try?

>>15510795
Fucking capitalist SHILL. I'd rather have healthcare than cheap donuts, you filthy, dirty fucking shill.

How much is Moon Jae In pay you for this post?

is this thread a joke? why does the food look exactly the same?

>>15504509
Why are the Japanese too lazy to cook their food?

>>15513663
If there's one thing that's easy to recreate, it's ochazuke.
You can find this product in Japanese supermarkets.
or you can make it yourself.
You can put grilled salmon on top, or tuna or salmon marinated in a mixture of soy sauce and mirin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rodIJhHg9pE

>>15504254
Tried to make miso soup the other day for the first time...
it was ok...ish.
i don't get the appeal of miso.

I put in dashi and veggies and wakame and stuff, and it tasted like a great fishy~veggie broth, then I added Miso, and it instantly removed most of the great flavour, and just tasted like... a bit sweet... veggie soup.

meh.
anything else I can do with a pound of Miso, except ruin great broth?

>>15509810
For me, it’s the yakisoba sandwich.

I fucking love onigiris.
I bought 2 cook books full of onigiri recipes, but my favorite filling is
'Remoulade(instead of mayo), + canned tuna + wasabi, mixed together'
then I put a slap of smoked salmon on top of it...
what onigiris do you guys like?

>>15504254
This is relevant, I had a bunch of leftover rice and vegetables today, so made a hearty teriyaki chicken donburi bowl.

>maybe someday through cultural appropriation, and the gud succ, I’ll be able to attract a real asian husbando; instead of pretending to make meals made with love for one

>>15514292
Miso has a strong taste, so it's best to add less.
However, the strength of the flavour will vary depending on the type of miso.
You may find it more to your liking with a pork broth.

Other uses are
You can replace the soy sauce in the teriyaki sauce recipe with miso.
You can also mix miso and soy sauce for a different flavour.
Another easy way to use it is
Mix mayonnaise and miso with sugar or mirin to taste.
and use it as a salad dressing.

>>15514349
Bake the salmon with butter and break it up into pieces.
Add a little pepper and soy sauce.
Add a little mayonnaise if you like.

>>15514292
If miso gets boiled or the water is too hot I find it ruins the flavour, so maybe that’s the issue with the flavour ?
Also like that other anon said, less is more, but you should mix the paste in a little dish with the hot dashi stock before adding it to the rest of the soup to prevent the miso clumping and tasting/feeling grainy. And there’s powder form as well if you prefer that kind of consistency.

It’s an acquired taste though, so you may just not like it.

>>15514412
Will the unique flavour of miso be accepted by non-Asians?

>>15514457
I’m not asian, but miso is one of the reasons I didn’t starve in college.

I love Chicken Katsudon. That is all.

>>15514500
I didn't expect that fermented smell to be accepted.
However, everyone has their own taste and it's best to try different ways of cooking.

What does natto actually taste like?

I think a lot of haters get put off by its texture. I'm fine with it since I regularly have a bowl of TKG.

I would go buy it myself, but I don't want to take a bus to my nearest Japanese grocery for obvious reasons.

>>15504254
What's the closest I can get to takoyaki without a special pan or ready access to octopus?
Also, what's the proper way to make katsu sauce? I tried a recipe once that was basically just ketchup with spices and it tasted like ketchup with spices.

>>15512923
>sweet red bean paste.
What the hell is that stuff anyway? It's like crack to me and I never find it outside of the occasional Asian food.

>>15514349
Is a specific type or preparation of rice required to make onigiri? I've tried it before and even though it was standard short-grain rice I still couldn't form it anywhere near as easily as I needed to. Onigiri look delicious.

>>15513200
The only times I drink sake is a round of sake-bombs. Probably because beer is the dominant flavor.

I'd rather have a highball or even just a can of Strong Zero.

>>15510371
Goddamn straight.

The grated daikon and enough wasabi to give a slight kick to the back of your sinus is heavenly.

Also, apparently, you aren't supposed to dip the entire noodle; just like 40% of it.

>>15514895
>What the hell is that stuff anyway?
Exactly what it says on the tin; they cook red beans, mash them and then add sugar.

>love Japanese food
>live in an eastern yuropoor shithole where there are no Japanese and as a result almost no Japanese restaurants, no Japanese shops, and no Japanese ingredients sold at regular shops beyond Kikkoman soy sauce

fuck me
Might just have to eventually order some long-lasting ingredients from one of those Japanese import websites, though they are very expensive

>>15514878
Just tastes nutty and earthy, a little bland desu, probably why it always comes with a packet of mustard
The texture isn't even that bad, it just looks snotty but you don't really feel it

>>15511063
k-kawaii!

>>15514292
Make miso aubergine, it's great
There's probably tons of miso recipes out there that don't involve broth

>>15515213
It's bland to me too, like mashed, unseasoned pinto beans. My wife insists that it has an extremely strong smell, like ripe cheese.

>>15513625
so you're saying both are made in japan XD

>>15515337
WTF? Is this like a genetics thing like cilantro?

>>15515493
No, he's saying both are made in China

>>15512922
It's not tamago gohan, so what is it?

>>15515539
Maybe this is it?

>>15504904
chinese supermarkets in nz atleast have japanese sections and sell kewpie and dashi, bonito, and mirin and bulldog sauce, tonkatsu or okonomoyaki variety, nori, etc etc etc etc
even vac packed unagi.

hell i don't even think it's for japanese people, i think just enough chinese students are weebs to warrant it.

>>15515207
you can make a lot of japanese food with just soy sauce and then other western ingredients.
you can pickle things. You can make a tare. You have sugar, you don't -need- mirin, or sake. I'm sure you have rice and fish.

>>15504254
The fugetsu near me made me fall in love with okonomiyaki. It's so fucking savory.

>>15515207
you could easily make a good okonomoyaki with zero japanese ingredients.

>>15516268
Never seen mirin sold here anywhere, ever

>>15516260
That's a matter of taste, I suppose.
This method also looks delicious.

That’s why you practice, knife skills aren’t an overnight thing

>>15516803
You don't need to be good. This isn't fine skill or some sort of flexing with a knife.
All you need is super cold meat and a sharp knife. Take your time. It's not a race.
Thinly shave the pieces with the knife.

>>15516268
As someone in a soviet bloc shithole, mirin is VERY hard to get. Sake can be found in specialised stores. Luckily, both keep well. For context, there's one Japanese restaurant that's not a sushi place that I know. One. The long fingers of Japan haven't reached here yet.

>>15504254
fuck pictures, anyone got some japanese recipes?

>>15516286
>>15518484
My local supermarket sells mirin but not any other type of rice wine. I imagine your problem is easier to deal with since you can honestly just add more sugar to rice wine and achieve the same thing as mirin.

For me, it's simmered dishes such as nikujaga and umani.

You haven't lived until you've eaten good nabeyaki udon

Eggplant agebitashi

Zaru Soba

Whale sushi

Similar to tuna, only leaner

This shit is so based

>>15520179
I thought I had eaten good nabeyaki udon for quite a while.
Then came the day I had some m made with local (to where I was staying) winter vegetables and freshly caught snow crab.
It’s still, hands down, the most amazing bowl of soup I’ve ever eaten.

>>15520296
Dangerously based

>>15516259
You could try it, but I'm pretty sure it's not sticky enough. It would go great with a curry, though.

It’s good enough for millions of Japanese, and I’m sure a few of them know something about Japanese food.
But it’s convenient; you can’t act pretentious about it, so it’s definitely not /ck/-approved.

it's alright, they usually need to be seasoned at bit to make them taste a bit more homestyle. i only really like boxed curry roux.

>>15522918
What would be added to this kind of roux? More beef flavoring like broth/bullion?

honestly, despite being like 2500yen(for the australian beef) it was pretty disappointing taste-wise. I should have tried the wagyu version for 4000yen instead maybe, but I'm only a student so I can only afford so much.

I can't imagine a steak (other than filet) taking kindly to being fried the way that white meats are.

>>15523123
It wasn't really fried like other katsu actually, despite being called gyuukatsu. I think it was cooked separately and then given an extremely short fry to get the panko to stick to the meat.

I live in Japan and people here genuinely think that corn on pizza is delicious and some sort of hidden italian delicacy. People here are really fucking nuts about italian food but can never remotely cook anything like it. There are loads upon loads of "italian" restaurants here but when you go in it's always some weird fucking japanese ripoff where they fuck up all of the dishes by adding jap shit like raw squid and eel and shit to it and then they try to fucking play it off as "real italian food". It doesn't help that people here don't know what normal bread or cheese is. It's all fucking gross. I have not had any normal-tasting cheese in all the time I've lived here, and good bread is about as rare as a properly paid salaryman. These people are born on this island, they will live their whole lives on this island, and they will die on this island without ever tasting real bread or cheese in their life and that's just sort of sad. The worst part is that because no japanese person actually knows what real italian food is like, nobody can call restaurants out on this bullshit, everyone eats it all up and calls it "honto ni umaiiii uwuwuwu" and everyone thinks this is what real italian food is like. It's just sad. "Oh rettsu addu fishu eggu andu seaweedu to pasta carbonara don't u kno this is how rearu itarian peeporu eat!". The worst part for me is that japan doesn't just massacre classic italian food like this, but they also do it with every other country's cuisine imaginable. French, spanish, mexican, turkish, you name it. They botch everything they come across as "wow foreign so cool" but it's never apparently fucking good enough unless they douse it in soy sauce and raw octopus to make it "authentic european" food. Don't get me wrong I love me some japanese food but fuck this country for ruining foreign food culture and fuck the people for being too retarded to not know what real food is like, even though they kind of can't help it, fuck em it's gross

>>15525306
>wall of pasta

>>15525306
>corn on pizza
It's like corn is some novelty on pizza. They do this in historical Italian expat cities in places in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, even Australia. I think some people just like corn that much. Its a new world item, but so are tomatoes, to honest. Now in Mexico, there's even Elote pizza, which is utterly delicious complete with the mayo drizzle, which is very Japanese.
Even the British like their corn....42%

>>15514349

What is it about pasta side-dishes in Japanese food that is so off-putting to me? I remember konbini-bento having everything being domestic, and this macaroni drenched in white sauce right next to it.

Is it some kind of import/export market thing? Because I don't really think that a lot of Japanese people would be eating macaroni cheese.

>>15523501
That's rough dude. Well, at least there's Bezos Box.

Fuck Bezos

>>15527699
Macaroni salad is a popular side in Japan, and you can find macaroni it in some "minestrone soups", but macaroni and cheese isn't popular at all.

Of course it had an 'asian-y' taste, it's a Japanese product. What you're calling 'asian-y' is probably the ever-present flavor of soy sauce.

>>15527810
This thick-fleshed eel has recently been seen in Japan and is very disgusting!
Do you see it in your country too?

>>15527829
There's about one person in ten who doesn't like it.

>>15527825
And sometimes the beans are cooked with the sugar ans sometimes the skins are seived from the beans and the consistency can be anywhere from completely smooth to intact; it's the same difference.

>>15527857
No, it wasn't that. I mean that it had that weird flavor that asian foods sometimes have when they try to imitate western flavors, especially beef dishes. In this case it was somewhere between fish sauce, poor-quality beef and canned lotus root. I even tried another package in case I got a bad one but nope, same deal.

>>15527911
>poor-quality beef
It's a cheap product that sells for $1 in Japan, no wonder.

>>15527966
But what's weirder about it is that I've had other Jap foods that were beef-flavored but didn't have that taste. Most of the time I encounter that flavor it's in food from China or SEAsia.

why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

>>15528018
>>15527996
I'm pretty sure the flavorings in the ingredients are just onion and tomato concentrates to make a rich gravy taste. The beef flavor will come through because you're likely expected to cook beef into the sauce and add beef broth to dissolve the roux cubes.

This is an interesting canned food product, basically whale meat al ajillo (cooked with garlic and chili pepper). As pic related shows, it also contains mushrooms. I had it once and it is pretty tasty, making for a quick lunch if paired with something appropriate to soak up the flavourful oils.

>>15504536
check asian grocers and butcher shops. you should visit literally all of these stores in your city to atleast have an idea the kinds of meats they carry. I would include carniceras (mexican grocers) but they aren't going to have eel specifically, still handy to know what the carniceras around you carry.

>>15510103

>>15532752
The cabbage isn’t supposed to be minced. It’s supposed to be shreds. The batter isn’t meant to be the primary substance; it’s supposed to simply help the matrix of cabbage shreds hold together.

If it “tastes great” as you say, you’re on the right path. I’d suggest trying a thinner okonomiyaki. Also, even in Osaka (the literal birthplace of okonomiyaki), it isn’t always ‘done’ all the way through. As long as the outside is crispy, it doesn’t matter if the inside has a bit of ‘undone’ batter because it’s going to be topped with copious amounts of sauce and mayo anyway (pic related).

ive made this a handful of times. its very bland and boring although if its all you got ingredients for, you just woke up and are starving, it does have its place. Usually find myself adding a bunch of other shit to it since I keep a pretty well stocked spice rack and asian food in general hits better when its spicy imo

>>15522691

You don't have to eat it by itself.
It is usually served in Japan with miso soup, seaweed, tofu and fish/meat.
