/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I made okonomiyaki recently. It came out nice.

Coco Ichi's vegetable soup curry is one of my favorites. Such a shame it's a seasonal menu item.

Them gooks go mad for it for some reason.

I love those little yellow bastards god damn is their cuisine so choice give me a plate of tuna nigiri

>>15664754
Thanks jap. Or weeb. Can't tell.

Later that day I reheated half of it on a pan and put it between two white buns and wrapped in tin foil to let it stream for a bit. It was actually amazing. Not sure if japs put okonomiyaki in buns to make a sammich, but it totally works.

This is exactly the problem. You’re able to hold your racist views because of freedom of speech but can’t stand it when others who you don’t agree with exercise theirs.
Pure fucking irony.

It's sakura season now in Shizuoka. I have friends sending me pictures of them. Very bittersweet.
I miss sakura ebi too, but not quite as much.

Quite the opposite.

I have a japanese market near my house that sells tuna collar, might be the best piece of fish i had.

I made udon, tuna collar, and like a korean bbq pork belly/asian slaw thing. Not traditional japanese food, but it turned out great.

I feel like it is so easy to develop flavors in japanese food so quickly. Making a dashi from katsobushi and kombu takes like 30min and is super flavorful. Great as a broth for the udon. Shit is cash money

>>15664782
You seem to be the racist, as is very common with your types. I simply don't give a shit about your fucking nations and don't want to visit them.
If you want to call me racist for disagreeing with you then you must have been shillary supporters since that's the best that they can do.

Italians have been eating Spaghetti alle vongole since they figured out how to make fucking pasta dude. I don't know what to tell ya.

>>15667016
Just because people have been doing it for a long time doesn't mean it makes sense or is good.

Putting inedible shells into the meal makes the meal less enjoyable because it now requires you to do messy manual labor to get to the food. Also, you lose sauce on the shells when you remove them. Same shit with prawn shells. Why leave them on?! Makes no fucking sense. I'm paying for food so I don't have to prepare it myself, why THE FUCK are you bringing me food that still has steps left to make it ready to eat?

>>15664777
Eel is one of the most underrated foods in all of the culinary world. It is so unbelievably tender, such a mild fish flavor that BEGS to have sauce on top. It's so fucking good. This shit melts in your mouth man.

>>15664670
I’ve been trying different curry blocks lately. First Java curry, then the extra hot golden curry. Going to use pic related next, what am I in for?

>>15669525
A bit sweeter than Golden Curry. If that sounds good, you'll almost certainly enjoy it. Extra hot Golden Curry is pretty weak, but if you still want that little kick, I recommend adding some powdered cayenne pepper or something similar.

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 umaiiiii 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

Some or all of the above.

Nice pasta.

But seriously, if you live in japan you are there to get the best japanese food, not any other type of food.

I really want to go back to Japan. I miss those egg sandwiches from 7-11.

>>15670686
Guy who lived in Japan for several years here.
It's nice having foreign food in Japan too. From the Japanese versions of it to more authentic stuff made by foreigners.
There was this really good pizza place in my city. It was nice knowing if I was in the mood for good pizza there was a spot that did it very well.

Not sure where to ask but I figured I'd ask here, does anyone have any literature on sushi they can recommend? Can be in english or japanese but I'd want something closer to traditional sushi before you started getting pineapple and ham sushi or whatever when it got popular in the west.

just sprinkle sesame seeds and bean sprouts on top of whatever you want, there you got your jap food.

>>15664750
Looks pretty good, kurwa.

>>15672053
Thank you... kurwa.

>>15670741
Was it very expensive to live there? Before the whole chinese flu bullshit hit I was working fully remotely for 2 years already and traveling, living in different cities every month or two. I was planning to go to Japan/Korea but that plan didn't pan out.

How long did you stay and how pricy was food?

>>15672377
It wasn't expensive but my rent was subsidized, so it's a little hard to say. I lived close to an import grocery store and a slightly higher end grocery store, but generally food didn't strike he as particularly expensive.
I was there for five years.

>>15672401
Quite long. Did you leave because your job there ended or you've just had enough of japs and their adorable quirks like racism and pedophilia?

>>15672417
My job ended. I didn't find Japanese people particularly more racist or pedophilic than those in America.
I would have tried to stay if I had any inkling Corona was coming. Although funnily enough, the first known case of it in Shizuoka where I used to live was from someone who went to my former gym, so if I did stay I may well have gotten the coof from that.
To keep on the thread topic, here is the wonderful Nagoya Cochin chicken ramen from Toybox in Tokyo.

>>15664782

>>15669273
>underrated

it's safe to say it's very fairly rated, if not overrated
it's one of my favorite dishes yes, but a very very similar product can be achieved with mackerel

>>15672504
>Some of my in-laws are Korean and they are actually racist
Most westerners don’t seem to realize actual Asians are more racist than damn near anyone. Especially toward other flavors of Asian, as they all believe their own culture/history/etc is best.
My fiancée is an Osaka native and fucking hates Chinese and Koreans; she has a Korean friend who she claims is “the one good Korean”.

I post this in most japfood threads and don’t give a fuck; I’m still in mourning.

Zuboraya in Dotonbori, very famous fugu restaurant, went out of business last year due to chinkflu restrictions making them unable to serve customers. Ironically, last year was its 100th anniversary. Now you can only eat there in the Yakuza game series.

Owner was cool as fuck; when he realized the restaurant couldn’t survive the mandated closure, he reallocated all operating funds normally used for food/maintenance/etc to payroll, and gave all staff full salaries for several months until the money ran out.

>>15673551
The chinks need to pay for this.

>>15673551
I only got to go there once and had pic related.

>>15673575

>>15664743
I'm genuinely disgusted.

Fucking hell, the chinese coof can't go away soon enough so I can finally see Japan.

Japanese food is overrated outside of sushi

>>15673813
And here we a have a dumb nigger that never tried tonkotsu ramen.

>>15673819
>does it differently
Kinda the point, bro. As long as you’re throwing soba noodles onto a hot oiled surface, it’s yakisoba. Beyond that, it doesn’t matter what you add or don’t add. It’s yakisoba.
At most, a turbo-autist may argue that it also requires yakisoba sauce.

I think this was at Marutama Ramen in Vancouver. No shortage of great ramen in BC. I'm a rail nerd so I used to go on day trips there all the time.

I just made miso soup for the first time! The easiest soup I've ever made, and so much better than instant. This is my first real attempt at homemade japanese food.

>>15674076

Looks delicious. I got that slice at Akihabara Station so it's nothing fancy.

>>15674076

If you have any Asian grocers in your area, try to find some aburaage (pic related). It’s pretty much always in the freezer section, really cheap, and is a classic miso ingredient.

Tonkatsu in NYC. I tried a couple notable ramen places there but don't have much to say about them. I did find a good Japanese confectionery place in one of the WTC towers though.
>>15674145

Agreed. I would suggest adding wakame if you can find it. Kayanoya's dashi packets are a game changer too. They're comparable to my homemade dashi. Nice work anon!

I really want to try ramen. It looks delicious whenever I see big bowls of noodles with meat and vegetables on top, but I've never had any asian food. What should I start with?

>>15675714
Do you have access to an actual ramen restaurant? Or at least a semi-authentic Japanese place with ramen on the menu?

>>15675759
I live in a pretty big city, yeah. Plenty of options in the area.

anyone here been to an ryokan?
if not you are missing out on one of the most relaxing experiences of your life. they can be pricy but it's worth it.
the food could be discribed as bland but i would say it's just mute. the flavors are there, distinctive and tasty, but not overbearing. i wish i had pictures but that was three phones ago.
Hakone is nice but everyone seems to go there so it's always packed.

>>15664670
I can get tuna saku blocks at a local weab grocer for $20/lb, that's a rip off right?

Then go to a ramen joint.

Last time I stayed in one it was interestingly “non-traditional”. The place has multiple room types, I specifically stayed in https://shirahamaonsen.rwiths.net/r-withs/planListDetail.do?hotelNo=75230&GCode=&campID=3059880&vipCode=&f_lang=ja
A mix of western furniture, with futons on tatami for sleeping, and a nice balcony with a hillside view of Shirahama coastline.

Whats the point of a fancy car if you can't drive it?

>>15677383
It’s the lobby; it’s the building you pull up to for check-in.
So it’s on “ground” (or at least hillside road) level, and the main entrance is a double-door plenty wide to pull it through.
It just looks high up because it’s literally built on the side of a steep hill, and that’s the window opposite the entrance.
Here’s the best shitty Google map I can give you to illustrate.

>>15677609
My retarded ass forgot I had another pic.
Here’s from the other way; you can kinda see the front door and how it leads to a driveway.

i'm a /his/fag so traditional places appeal to me more. but i'm also an /out/fag. i wish for the life of me i could remember all the places i went but i was dating a wealthy chinese girl who would take me to these expensive as hell ryokan. my favorite was along a seaside village, high in a mountain.
this place's theme was constellations and treehouses. i'll try to find pictures but my favorite thing about this place was the pick your own mushroom and bamboo shoots.

What condiments are essential for jap cooking and shabu shabu/nabe?
I'm on a binge with hotpot type dishes while the weather is cold, it's the most variety of vegetables me and the wife bother to eat in one meal since the broth does all the work.

That looks like Chinese mabutofu

>>15679829
That's a pretty popular Chinese dish in Japan too. Chinese food in general is quite popular.

I never really liked the taste of unagi sauce, had it somewhat often because a japanese parent and I never got used to it. Also didn't help that I had some bad experiences with bones.

>>15679220
>i'm a /his/fag so traditional places appeal to me more
I love those too, but I can see why the owner took the direction he did.
That part of Shirahama in particular has more of a modern vibe because the big attraction is the sandy beach, to the point that Shirahama Beach has some sort of “sister beach” status with Waikiki Beach. It’s about the farthest south you can go without leaving Honshu.
So Japanese don’t go there to experience “historical Japan”, and that type of ryokan would be awkwardly out of place.
Fuck I can’t wait for chinkflu to be done.

>>15679676
It’s sorta like making soup.
They basically use whatever the fuck they like or have on hand for nabe/hotpot

The only serious must is dashi.
Two extremely common herbs added to hotpot are mizuna and shingiku, but good fukkin luck finding them outside Japan. I’m currently growing my own.
Cabbage and sprouts are almost always added.
Kimchi is also commonly added to nabe/hotpot, but doing it in the authentic Japanese way requires using kimchi that is produced in Japan (or your country of residence), while being sure to remark during both cooking and eating how funny it is your own country is better at making Korea’s “national food” than Korea.

The rest is just whatever. Tofu (regular or fried), meat of choice, leek, spinach, lotus root, it’s all good.

>>15672529
>the main species used for it are already endangered due to overfishing m8
Yes, Japanese eel is endangered and thusly protected by the Japanese Ministry of Environment.

If you don’t live in Japan, you’re practically guaranteed to be eating eel from China.
If you do live in Japan, you’re still guaranteed to be eating eel from China unless you want to pay 3x more for the “real” domestic thing, which currently means it is technically the Japanese species but probably came from a farm.

I’d also like to buy whatever you’re smoking that turns mackerel into eel.

I’m always disappointed at how underrepresented Miso Katsu is when people talk about Japanese food. Everybody’s like “ohh takoyaki ohh yakisoba ohh muh Osaka poverty peasant food” while overlooking the greatest thing in the whole country.
>>15673551
fuck I remember that big puffer fish, it was iconic. Can’t believe it’s gone.

>>15682462
I’ve been to a few inaka eel places that have their own eel farming facilities on the grounds of the restaurant. They’re surprisingly affordable compared to the urban places.

>>15682314
Shirahama beach is really amazing, so much of the Japanese coastline is fishy water with kelp and rocky tide pools but right there is like the Bahamas
The Adventure World theme park is right next to that area too, it’s like a safari zoo and seaworld type marine park combined. It’s a good family vacation spot.

>>15682635
>it was iconic
Absolute landmark.
In fact, it’s literally what started that crazy over-the-top signage that has become so much of what Dotonbori is known for nowadays.
Many locals considered it beyond reprehensible; Osakans are fiercely proud of being Osakan, seemingly much moreso than other “regional” Japanese. Anecdotally, the one I’m engaged to said the only worse thing would be getting rid of Osaka Castle.

At least a local historical society has committed to preserving it as either a museum display or a piece of outdoor art.

>>15682635
>disappointed at how underrepresented Miso Katsu
It is not appreciated in Japan.
The only people who appreciate it are the people of Nagoya.

>>15682738

>>15682721
I definitely enjoyed it there.
Another interesting thing about that ryokan is that they don’t have food; there simply isn’t the facility beyond the lobby and guest suites.
So to maintain that ryokan-tier hospitality, the owner will personally chauffeur you wherever you wanna go for meals in one of those insane luxury Japanese minivans, and come pick you up when you’re done.

Here’s where we went for dinner; basically an upscale izakaya

Also had reishu, which I accidentally knocked over and nearly shat myself.
Not from the crotch-full of cold sake, but worrying about the glass. Those things are easily $100+.

So it’s whole spam slices over a bowl of rice?
Or do you cut it after frying?

>>15682462
>I’d also like to buy whatever you’re smoking that turns mackerel into eel.
you can make poor man’s imitation eel with unagi sauce and mackerel on rice. If you do it right it’s surprisingly similar in taste and texture. Had it a few times during quarantine when we had a billion cans of mackerel hoarded because it’s cheap and dense

>>15682800

>>15682809
Props for doing what you could with what you had, bruh.
I’ll give it a shot sometime when I’m jonesing for unaju but don’t feel like spending $20+.
I do think good unagi goes beyond texture/sauce, but it sounds like it could be the eel equivalent of methadone for a heroin junkie; you won’t get the full fix, but it will at least keep you from punching holes in the wall and robbing liquor stores.

>>15682821
Preaching to the choir, bro. It’s good as fuck.
I was just curious if he put whole slices over the rice, or chunked it for mixing in.
Spam fried rice and spam yakisoba are also must-trys.

The missus, who is Japanese and something of an unagi maniac, made it. It was different enough that we could tell it wasn’t really unagi, but it was close enough to be “good enough”. Like you said, it satisfies the craving well enough.

The style itself is called “Edo Kiriko”.
With the legit stuff, every line/facet is hand cut, like gemstones. The slightest fuckup in cutting and it’s trash.

So it ranges from fairly expensive, like the glass I knocked over, to fuck-you-expensive, like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MYZPVXQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1590Y9YFGJJ7P0AN2R19

>The missus, who is Japanese and something of an unagi maniac
Soon-to-be-missus is the same.
I do tease her when she complains about having to settle for Chinese eel because Japanese is hard to find unless you go to a legit unagi restaurant and trade a kidney for it.
>Well yeah, you ate them all.

>>15682970
Have you already tried UnaKushi?
The eel version of yakitori.

>>15683104
Nope, and that looks fucking delicious.
Hell, I haven’t even set foot in Japan for a year now because of chinkflu restrictions.

>>15683170
I can only hope that the vaccine will spread its effects.

Tokyo's unique foods are
Sushi, tempura, soba noodles and these UnaKushi!
Save it for next time.
Personally, I would recommend pairing it with a dry sake.

The Japanese themselves are not so particular about pure Japanese food. Japanese food is a small part of everyday food.
Tonight's home is an evening drink with tempura, green vegetables, fried tofu, and cheese.

>>15683489
Is that komatsuna? One of my favorite simple dishes is komatsuna and atsu age stir-fried with garlic and seasoned with black pepper.

Allez cuisine

>>15683503
Yes, that's right. It's Komatuna.
Komatuna is a green vegetable that is familiar to Japanese people along with spinach.
At my home, komatsuna and fried tofu are boiled lightly with soup stock and a little soy sauce.

>>15683489
what the hell are you drinking

I am a 1996-2020 grain whiskey whose details are unknown. Dark elf label, 59.2%.
My son was barking at Jin & Bitters.

Ate these Gyoza in Utsunomiya city (宇都宮市) last weekend. The dough had a more chewy texture compared to normal ones.

>>15683593
>dark elf big titty whiskey
a man of taste and refinement

I ate this cacio pepe soumen a few weeks ago in the Shimbashi (新橋) district of Tokyo.
It was alright

>>15673914
what a waste of sauce

>>15683609
>cacio pepe soumen
Weird. It looks good enough, but the texture seems like it'd be too soft.

This was some horse sushi I had a while back.
It was pretty tasty, especially the fatty cuts

>>15683618
Yeah spot on, taste was good but it was just so soft

>>15683625
>wilburrrrrrrrr

This is an ikura don (salmon roe rice bowl) I had in otaru (小樽) in Hokkaido in December.
It was delicious.

This is Yuba Curry Rice I ate a few days ago in Nikko city (日光市). Yuba is tofu skin, it was okay. The Yuba has an interesting texture but it has basically no flavour because it's tofu.

This was a wagyu steak dinner set I had at an onsen. Everything was cooked with charcoal.
The beef was very interesting, it tasted like caramel somehow.

This is some tempura and soba I had in Hakone city (箱根).
It was fucking delicious but a little expensive (around 1800 yen)

>>15683662
Hakone's a major tourist destination, so it's no surprise that the food there is more expensive. That does look tasty, though.

>>15683799
you’re not supposed to make a octopus puff ball on a pancake fryer, what a mess
use a little tray with holes for your balls

>>15683815
Huh??
That's okonomiyaki, it's meant to be made on a big flat cooking surface and look like a pancake.

You're thinking of takoyaki you dumbass

Had this yakisoba the other day. It's completely average but it's only 550 yen so can't complain much.

>>15683815
You're retarded, that's okonomiyaki. It's meant to look like that.

You're thinking of takoyaki you dumbass

for me its the katsudon

>>15674091
Looks bland.

>>15675714
Indian food is probably the simplest Asian cuisine. Try making a curry.

>>15684151
Not everyone puts hot sauce and chili beans into their miso soup, Kevin.

>>15684167
I can actually cook unlike you, nigger.

>>15664777
This looks so fucking good.

>>15683526
surely it's
à la cuisine
or allah cuisine in modern french

>>15684171
Well you clearly can’t make miso soup, Kevin.

>>15684142
Something about the way this tastes never appealed to me. I see egg and meat but I don't taste either. I've made/had chicken katsu before in various dishes and it came out great so I don't know what it is about this particular dish that throws me off.

How's this?

>>15684142
For me it's oyakodon, preferably from Tamahide where it was invented at the end of the Meiji era.

i miss ichiran so much bros...

Take me back to Onomichi.

>>15684793
So good
