That is a microtomato. It is grown in Japan. It is a very small tomato.

sushi is my go to plate when i want to score big with my gf.

Katsudon. I dunno if that's a legit Japanese dish or just an Americanized thing, though.

Why are the tomatoes still attached to the tomato branch? Pretty sure it's not edible.

>>4220270
Easy to eat them by just plucking them off the branch with your teeth. Also looks nicer and prevents them from rolling around on the plate. They're more for garnish/show anyway, so may as well look nice.

All the westernised dishes. That's the only thing that's worth it.

Okonomiyaki and Katsudon.

Ramen and similar dishes are pretty sweet if done right though.

>>4220261
Korokke,

Just cant make it like how a nearby Jap restaurant does it, really annoying

>>4220261
Japanese avoid Japanese food they have some interesting westernized dishes

sea-salt ice cream

Oden and Sake.

>>4220799
I'd love some of that octopus, but what are all the other things?

>>4220831
I see stewed radish, a turnip cake, various types, shapes and sizes of fish cakes and an unidentified skewered meat.

Hard to say, I never can tell what's Americanized and what's legit. I ate at a ramen shop that seemed fairly legitimate, and I've eaten at Ajisen frequently, though I suspect Ajisen isn't that good.

dolphin

Sushi errday. None of that California shit though.

>>4220910
Is dolphin legal in the US? I want to try it.

>>4220923
Agreed, california rolls are disgusting.
I'm extremely partial to onigiri as well

>>4221020
Have you never tasted Potato Dolphinoise?

>>4221020

eat a can of tuna.

>>4221032
I am a deprived person.

>>4221033
All I can find is that "dolphin safe" shit

>>4221031
>california rolls are disgusting

try hard

I like Yakiudon with Cabage, carrots and some chicken!

>>4221044
Canned tuna never contained dolphin, they were just part of the by-catch. Tuna fishing methods have changed since then, and I'm sure you'll be happy to know that the much greater by-catch of the dolphin excluding new method is driving several species of turtles and fish to extinction. Cause fuck the environment, mirite?

>>4221071
If you get them fresh they're edible, but they're not tasty. Especially if the crab is shredded with mayo added which is really common here. Then it just turns into a ball of unpleasant goop in your mouth

>>4221083
But...but...Dolphins are cuter and therefore deserve to live more

>>4221083

It's more like fuck silly laws that have unintended consequences.

For example, back in the 1970's the US sugar producers bitched to the government that they couldn't compete with cheap foreign sugar. In response the gov't passed a series of tariffs and import quotas on sugar. The idea was to help the American sugar producer by increasing the price of foreign sugar. Unfortunately, it backfired. When the price of sugar spiked as a result of the quotas, all the major sugar buyers in the US switched to HFCS instead. As a result, our sodas and desserts are loaded with HFCS instead, AND the American sugar market tanked.

As usual, government policies create many problems beyond those they attempt to "fix".

I like Sauce Katsudon. (Japanese schnitzel with sweet Worcester sauce)

Katsudon - 100 years anniversary in 2013.

In the Taisho period, Masutaro Takabatake, the first owner of the Western-style restaurant "Yoroppa-ken" in Tsurumaki-cho, Tokyo, across Waseda University premiered a sauce katsudon at a culinary convention held in Tokyo in 1913 and served it in the restaurant around 1917.

>>4220910
Delete now, racist!

>>4221083
So where can I find some dolphin meat then?

>>4221191
You're racist. They eat dolphins and whales. Don't make a fuss.

>>4221300
Almost Japanese don't eat dolphin.

Yakiniku.

>>4220270
Tomato branches actually contribute a lot to the taste.

Learned it from Heston Blumenthal. He puts them in his chili.

>>4221395
Tomato branches are actually poisonous.

>>4221601
most of the best foods are

dolphin beleted

grilled eel with that special barbecue sauce they use. Can't remember what it's called, found some at the asian market and it's great.

>>4221395
>chili
No, that was the pizza sauce.

American but whatever. Spicy tuna roll.

>>4221675
> grilled eel
My nigga. I'm a little glad I can just buy it from the store out here, luckily most unagi recipes call for precooked eel.

>>4221342
I'm pretty sure that's Korean.

>>4221992
mfw Yakiniku is a japanese word and is Japanese food

>>4220261
sketti

Mori Soba.

I live in Australia. Australia is hot for 8 months of the year. Ice cold noodles are my god.

>>4222039
Actually yakiniku and nabe were brought in from Korea. Just because something has a japanese word for it doesn't mean it's japanese.

>>4222154
If I had a penny for every time a Korean told me something was actually invented by the Koreans and just stolen by the Japanese I'd be a millionaire.

I m not saying you're Korean, it just happens way to often and they're wrong 98% of the time

>>4222224
you have heard people say this 100,000,000+ times?

>>4222228
Yes. I am 100% serious all the time, I never make jokes or use expressions.

Do you like, live in darwin or someshit?

>>4222228
Of course not, but I bet he'd be a millionaire if he had a penny for every minute he spent researching Japanese culture.

>>4222154

Implying the actual origin of a food has anything to do with what nation or culture it is in reality identified with...

It's not as though cultures "steal" dishes from other cultures and claim them for their own. Pretty much all cultures are in reality a melange of other cultural influences (otherwise we'ed all be like, say, Australian aborigines...

People have done all sorts of shit everywhere on Earth at all times, just because someone did something in some place doesn't mean that "belongs" to that culture, if another culture adopted the practice and actually incorporated it into its identity, in a way not done by the "originator"...

I guess...ramen?

I haven't tried a lot of Japanese food. Hard to get in my area.

I'd like to make yokan sometime but can't find the beans

>>4222154
>>4222228
Korea, this is why nobody likes you.

salmon nigiri
curry udon
gyoza

>>4222154
No.

Fortune Cookies are pretty good actually.

Natto.

Udon noodles.

Udon noodles with wonton.

>>4222759
>>4222754
i get these instant udon things. they're pretty good, kinda bland.

>>4222778
you mean this?
I guess it's Japanese

>>4222762
>aged a shit of u

Mentaiko.

>>4222826

Good taste. I'm going to have to go with either Takoyaki or Okonomiyaki personally.

anything that is spicy
seriously I want a good spicy fish stew or something.

>>4222847
>spicy

I think you should be looking at korean or thai food instead.

>>4222849
that's not weeaboo though
i'm full on nipponeese

>>4222850

I can't really think of many spicy Japanese foods. Spicy curry, maybe.

sushi, especially when tempura is conbined with it

Frenchfag cook here, the Kare Raisu !

>>4222270
>we'ed all be like, say, Australian aborigines...
that would suck. kangaroo is disgusting

>>4220261
What's the name of OP's dish? I'm not so good with japanese food but that looks delicious.

Baby Dolphin with whale brains

>>4221395
>eating tomato branches

That's just asking for an appendiceal abscess. I'd rather not have a fuckload of infected micro cuts in my guts thank you. I don't care how much flavor they add, humans do not eat branches.

>>4223733
lol have you ever touched a tomato branch they practically break under the weight of the tomato? They're so soft and fragile it's less woody than asparagus.

Oyakodon.

Those fucking Kasugai gummies.


Or srsly like the guy before me said: oyakodon.
HNNNGGGGG

Sukiyaki. I've yet to eat it with raw egg, since the only eggs I trust near my current residence are 3+ hours away...

It's really fun to have friends over to eat this, since they can choose what to eat and cook themselves.

Daifuku, Yakisoba, most of all Miso soup.

Convenience store food in Japan

http://bg-mania.jp/article/gourmetonbini/

What is that in your pic OP? I want to try it.

Sushi Rolls.

>>4225261
Italian soba noodles in Japan.

Gyoza.

>>4225428
Pretty sure it's a chinese food

>>4225459
shhhhh

Let them eat the shittier one. We can save the better one's for ourselves

>>4224719
Is that like Korean Hot Pot?

>ITT weeaboo that love everything made by japanese

(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

>>4225473
>please respond

ok

Best dish ever served in Japan was a dish of revenge called Nuclear Bomb Surprise.
It was served cold and made a lasting impression.

Mayo.

>>4225469
Korean hot pot stolen from Chinese hot pot.
They are very spicy.

>>4225459
Most Chinese don't eat Yaki Gyoza (pan-fried dumplings).

>>4225574
why not?

Doria.

>>4225574
Yes they do. Fucking liar.

>>4225528
What is it with japs and mayo?

>>4221395
Please stop referring to Heston Blumenthal. He's not a reliable source. He's a dud who plays with food and the health of his patrons.

He poisoned hundreds of his customers with seafood that was contaminated with raw sewage. He continued to do so, even after he got dozens of complaints.

>>4225896
Moon Mayo tastes differently from western mayo.

>>4225896
They desperately try to be american. Also why they deep fry pretty much everything they eat.

>>4225896
It's bad that I've been watching this. The concept is okay, the animation is good, but the writing is terrible.

>>4226163
>The concept is okay
The only good thing about the show are the asses and Homu.

>>4225896
You would need to try Kewpie Mayonnaise to truly understand.

>>4226163

Why would you watch moe shit?

>>4226217
>>>/v/

>barely any mention of the best japanese food of all time

it's motherfucking CURRY RICE time in here

>>4226257
and the superior katsu kare-

>>4226182
ffs kewpie isn't anything amazing

>>4226254
>telling a mature person to go to >>>/v/

Why? Clearly you should be sending these anime watching japan worshiping weeaboos to that cesspool.

>>4226263
it is much better than murrican mayonnaise though and tastes significantly different. it's hard to understand why japanese people love mayo when you don't know the flavor of japanese mayo

>>4226268
>I'm going shitpost and no one can stop me!

>>4226276
>this poster disagrees with me! I better call them a shitposter!

Fuck off, weeaboo.

>>4226269
>implying I don't have a bottle in my fridge along with a container of dukes

>>4226277
Needs more buzzwords.

>>4226269
It's like you're biased because you had to pause your anime to type this.

>>4226282
that's cool

>>4226287
anime blows chunks why the fuck would i watch that?
doesn't require weeabooness to appreciate the flavor of japanese mayo
it's still something i barely ever want to eat but it in the right setting and context is amazing, which isn't something i can say for murrican mayo

>>4225795
Pot Sticker is oily.

>>4225469
Basically. Sukiyaki isn't very spicy like the Korean hot pots I've had, and all the ingredients are separate and each person "cooks" their individual servings, like Korean barbeque.

>>4225563
I really want to try some authentic spicy Chinese hot pot. Only Koreans live/work in my town...

buta kakuni

anime

>>4220261
I like Chicken Tery-Acki at Benihana. They even bring me ketchup from the back.

I like california rolls

>>4227009
>not getting philly rolls instead
have you even watched all of evangelion?

>>4227022
What does Evangelion have to do with sushi?

Hiroshima Okonomiyaki

tatsumaki senpukyaku

I like making oyako donburi every once in a while. Shit's ballin.

general tso

Donburi

chicken chow mein

>>4225473

>>4227429
shit's so much better than osaka style
why the fuck would you mix it when it could be in glorious layers

there's a place in hiroshima called okonimimura which is a building of like 30 different okonomiyaki stands. went there a few times, each one was unique and amazingly delicious.

>>4225473
Mods=Gods once again

And a Japanese food that I've always wanted to try is fugu, but I don't have the balls

>>4222154
because Koreans invented the idea of putting meat over an open fire right? yakiniku is korean bbq, but specifically it's korean bbq done to appeal to japanese tastes. like american chinese food. no fucking ching chong is gonna claim that shit is authentic chinese.

>>4226263
It's what I want Miracle Whip to taste like. But yeah, Hellman's and Duke's are superior.

>>4226263

Kewpie is probably the one Japanese thing I don't like, at least on sandwiches. Tastes great on okonomiyaki and the like though.

>>4227639
It's like you have a special little bias... at least you'll never breed.

I love nikujaga but my parents don't like the sweetness of it.

Nabe is a dish they both like, and my grandma likes the way I make it too (GRANDMA LIKES MY COOKING I AM SO PROUD): shimeji, king oyster mushrooms, enoki, beef, tofu, onions, bok choy. If I'm making it with my friends and not my parents, then fish cake items and udon as well.

Okonomiyaki is easy and cheap as fuck. I have the sauce, katsuo, and mayonnaise in the fridge, and Otafuku's mix isn't that expensive. I make mine with beef instead of pork, both out of personal preference and because a friend doesn't eat it; cook the beef either on the griddle or in a pan beforehand, season with some garlic salt and a dash of soy.

I'm getting better at making takoyaki (pic related, one of my first tries), but a lot of mine still turn out only as partial-domes, or kind of burnt :( I can't really figure out what I'm doing wrong, either

>>4227824

Nikujaga is fucking delicious. I think I like Nishime the best though.

Sake manju, Kintsuba.

Yakitori.

Spaghetti Napolitan.
