>>18031538
Ah, the good ol' Third Worlders Putting Fish In Holes genre. An aquired taste, hard to get into.
I hope you're not trying to imply eels aren't fish though.

>>18031509
>3 years, 8 years, LIFETIME
imagine being this up your own ass about what's essentially grilling hotdogs lmao

Is it really that much better than other fish?

>>18031552
Well there's some skill to handling the fish and getting it to just the right doneness.
But a lifetime? Even 8 years? Fuck the fuck off.

>>18031552
>comparing cooking eel to making hotdogs
I bet hotdogs are the only thing you know how to cook.

>>18031509

>>18031528
>Japs are so inferior it takes a lifetime to master the art of grilling a single type of meat
>Americans so superior a BBQ pit master can learn how to smoke and grill just about anything in a year or two.

I hate this pretentious bullshit and the white retards who fall for it.

Grilled eel is great, though. Very fatty fish.

>>18031509
He who smelt it, dealt it.

>>18031509
i got the feel
the feel for eel
but for real, best sushi i've had was eel.

>>18031782
Also complete bullshit, I've beaten off to milf tags enough to render me borderline retarded.

>>18031803
Were they true mothers, or just elderly hags who took the pill?

>>18031793
Good BBQ techniques take a while to learn but the average Westerner is efficient and peasant enough to just eat something if it tastes good. There's a difference between $5 ribs and a nicely prepared $35 plate with fixins.

It's a good thing I'll eat both.

The Japanese insistence on making any kind of artisan work this ancient, delicate, and lifelong dedication seems to be generally unhealthy desu

8 years to properly slice the same damn fish. Get fucking real.

Nah, sounds gay. I'll stick to my cram, thanks.

>>18031830
i had sex with a grandma once it was pretty cool except she complained about getting on top because of her hip

I never really liked eel the few times I tried it, I don't know if it's the fish or the sauce I don't like

>>18031839
>implying owls are birds

>>18031634
Is there a word for this exotic manner of cooking?

>>18031509
The heat from the charcoal cooks the eel

>>18031848
What did you try to say?

>>18031509
Do you think their ancestors were as big of fags about this stuff? Surely the peasant rice farmer dgaf about how you slice the fish, they're just happy to eat.

>>18031557
Unagi is fuckin delish but a lot of it comes from the sauce they coat it in.

>>18031924
How far back? I think it was learned autism, as they were a secluded island for hundreds of years. You'll find autism on a plate in most countries, but that is when you're ordering something instead of making it for yourself/family

>>18031851
yes. coal cooking

>>18031949
Coal burning is kind of a new thing in Japan isn't it? Like, they're more traditional.

I like the japs' dedication to perfecting their work but they say that "3 years 8 years lifetime" bullshit about everything

>>18031512
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?

>>18031957
Have you tried Oyakodon?

>>18031954
traditional would be nuclear

>>18031957
I agree. soy sauce, sesame seed oil, anise

>>18031954
coal burning is a unique american trait

>>18031557
It absolutely is. I wouldn't even call it fish. Part of it is the sauce as the other anon said, but not entirely. It's more of an earthy taste if that makes sense.

Unagi is fucking king and I order it wherever I can.

I personally think that the aftermath of the nukes are here at play.

It turned the gooks into incredibly slow learners. Heating up food to a certain temperature doesn't take a whole life for a regular human being. Slicing a piece of fish with a sharp knife doesn't take multiple years to learn either, at most a couple of weeks if you include learning how to properly sharpen a knife.

is this the jap blue collar worker equivalent to that forklift meme t shirt?

>>18031957
ive traveled in japan twice; everything from fastfood to high end kaiseki, and I agree. After about 4 days i got tired of just eating the same 5 dishes (noodles with salty sauce, deep fried food with salty sauce, fish with salty sauce, meat and rice with salty sauce, noodles with salty sauce). I just wanted a big fucking salad.

>>18032016
That's because you don't put any extra effort into it, you lazy and uninspired bum. Aim for perfection.

>>18032038
Perfection can be reached very fast for such a simple job. There aren't a lot of variables in play if you perfect every step.

>>18031538
>dude the fish just lives in the mud despite its gills needing clean water to breathe
k... keep me posted zoomers

What is more arrogant, Japanese or Italian kitchen? These fucking gatekeeping myths about "you need to cook rice for 20 years before you can become a sushi chef". Stop being so fucking arrogant about stories everyone just keeps telling for decades.

>>18032064
Italian chefs are just LARPing about elitism, Italian was always the peasant cuisine. it's French that is the truly elitist cuisine with rules and limitations. Modern Italian chefs are just copying French chefs

>>18032064
Arrogancy, italian all the way. You can give somebody something their nonna made secretly and they'll tear it apart

>>18031552
honestly the japanese are starting to piss me off with this shit. wanna learn to take a proper shit?? WELL THAT WILL BE FIVE YEARS TO...

>>18031509
Sure, but how many years do you need to master washing rice?

>>18032091

>>18031509
These Japanese master chefs overstate the time it takes to understand the skills. A lifetime to grill eel my ass. Pretentious as it gets.

>>18031509

i think it's more about appreciating not only something delicious, but something also about appreciating the ones who've come before and have always had the patience and diligence to serve their fellow people.

it's a meme, no doubt, but it's also part of that honor thing that the Japanese value. but it's not the same kind of honor people usually interpret so. it's an honor because at some point in time someone first became the best, and that best HAS to be passed on. it's a responsibility within that meaning that is so important, and seen as honorable. humbling, and honorable.

well, think of it this way: americans can brag about more than a few of our own culinary creations, but we've got another what, thousand years or so, to keep that cuisine alive and relevant. could you ever see an american being proud of the skill it takes to make a truly wonderful cheeseburger as opposed to the consideration the japanese have for even the simplest dish? you'd make the same dumbass face.
so long as goyslop garbage peddlers like mcdonalds can censor even free speech on this site, and almost convince maga shouting psychos that russia is dissenting on account of starvation because mcdonalds ceased operations there. something something jews and you're a faggot.

people like kenji absolutely have the autism and worship of burgers that japanese do of sushi

This feels like an offshoot of the it takes 10000 hours to master x thing meme, which itself only applies to extremely competitive and complex fields but retards forget the later part and end up spouting shit when applying it to even the most braindead of skills.

>>18031567
Its just what boomers tell people because they dont want to ever praise newer gens for what they accomplish so they make up some rules about how youll never be good enough until you are of old age like they are.

>>18032064
Japanese, I'd say.
Italians don't pretend it takes decades to cook their food. They just get really pretentious about what ingredients go together.

>>18033241
>could you ever see an american being proud of the skill it takes to make a truly wonderful cheeseburger
This is a thing btw. Burger cooking is starting to get into the sushi and eel territory where people want "the simplest preparation with expensive ingredients but done exactly right and eaten right away". The quest for the perfect smash burger, etc.

>>18033638
Actually that was two nukes followed by the USA forcing democracy upon them, completely changing their course, and then when the Japanese economy starts to become one of the strongest in the world having the US again meddle and fuck their economy through the Plaza Accord, which has led to the modern Japanese culture of overworked underpaid salarymen and their lack of time to form any relationships, and they only got nuked after going to war against the US after the USA snubbed them in the League of Nations and had a measure the Japanese put forth and had passed by a majority tanked because the USA and Australia sobbed like little whinging cunts about it, and even that wouldn’t have happened if they were allowed to remain isolationist, but the USA sailed a warship into one of their harbours and threatened to open fire on civilians if they refused to trade.

So basically Perfidious Albion and it’s most fucked up, degenerate, untrustworthy descendant has continuously fucked over Japan and left it the nihilistic mess it is today, where the biggest criminals are the US soldiers who won’t stop raping and murdering people.

>>18034412
I thought they got tired of British bullshit and agreed to be called a murder.

>>18033593
Bro, the Japanese are so cucked they believe that overworking yourself for your corpo overlords is the peak of existence. Mastering a technique or skill is something, but I'll be damned if you expect me to believe it takes a lifetime to learn how to handle a charcoal grill.

Like, what the fuck? Life isn't a video game. Spending more time breathing in charcoal dust isn't going to make you control the radiating heat with your mind or someshit.

>>18032064
I once saw an ITALIAN at the grocery store. He was screaming at the man at the deli because he mispronounced his favorite cut of meat. Then, he scurried away to the pasta isle, on his hands and knees like an insect. They didn't have his ITALIAN brand of dried noodles, so he threw a temper tantrum, like an overgrown toddler. Next, he crawled away on his belly in literal tears. He then became upset because they didn't have his autism cheese.

I didn't see him leave the store, but I just know he was driving one of those lame ITALIAN scooters.

He doesn't live in my village (we don't tolerate ITALIANS), but I'm sure he crawled back under his rock. Probably next to the ocean. Living the ITALIAN dream.

It's all economics and marketing. Japan obviously can't produce tons of food to spread around the world, so they hype their shit up as super high quality(oftentimes it is, lets be honest) and overcharge for it. Kobe beef is the most obvious example.

People can learn muscle memory really fast if they are working 40 hours a week at it. I don't think it would take that long to learn to slice eel even considering it's a difficult fish to work with.

What is the eel sauce made out of, that shit is crack. I'd slather it on rice and just eat that all day

I once encountered an ITALIAN in the forest while walking my dog. His NONNA did not have him on a leash, and he came right at me. Before I could even react, he was complaining about my collection of herbs, spices, and over ripe tomatoes.

In a desperate act of defence, I threw at him: A block of moldy cheese, dried spaghetti, canned tomatoes, and over-salted meat. The ITALIAN simply gobbled them up in an instant, like a feral animal. I was horrified. He then smiled, he turned at me and said, this is LINGHUNI not SPAGHETTI.

He then began chasing after my dog. I assume he wanted to use him in one of his NONNOS satanic recipes. Turning him into an over-cooked sausage.

At that moment, I reached into my bag and pulled out my last line of defence. A can of PEAS. I said "use this in your carbon-era".

The ITALIAN shrieked in pain as I was able to make my escape. He was crawling around on his hands and knees. Tears flowing from his eyes. Like an over-grown toddler. An insect. At that moment, I truly understood the nature of the enteral ITALIAN and their weakness. .. PEAS!

Never travel without a can of peas... lest the eternal ITALIAN will get you.

Spent a year in Japan studying and honestly they really aren't cunts about food. Housewives can be a bit much with it I feel, but they're just competing and trying to one up one another more than anything else, a man who can even fry an egg is going to get showered in compliments anyway.
Other students in the dorm were always happy with the miso soup and rice I made. I mostly cooked western stuff outside of that, but you're basically set there if you can prepare those two staples to a satisfactory degree.
I've found Italians to be more showy with how much they want to reject anyone else trying to cook their foods. I think the difference is that while the Japanese might believe in #1 samurai master bullshit, they still accept a well cooked meal as good. Italians will just say anyone who isn't nonna has destroyed whatever dish it is they're cooking.

It's literally just a marketing ploy, that's it. Japs get asshurt when their simple cuisine can be replicated by anyone in the world, so they try to put this bullshit cultural importance on it, as if you need decades of practice to properly roll up some fucking rice or cook fish.
Notice how you never see frognigger chefs going "French cuisine takes le lifetime to masteur hon hon hon." They'll say it's the best in the world (because they're French) but they'll never spout off the same bullshit Japs do, because it's actually difficult to replicate French dishes because of the skill and technicals required.
You can teach someone with 0 experience how to cut fish and how to roll it up in sushi. Try taking the average boomer and teaching them to make a macaroon.
And of course fucking weebs eat it up and pay $85 for a bowl of $1 beef stock, noodles, egg, and fatty pork.
