What kind of Japanese food pictures do you want?
Traditional cuisine? Local dish? Just only beautiful pics?

You don't need ordinary everyday objects in Japan????

japanese a shit

that's why the majority of japoos are all flabby high body fat% and short

>>5686961
What is that exactly?

>>5687007
Igoneri, a strained seaweed jelly from boiling, similar to agar-agar.

I went to the trouble of finding an explanation for you because the autistic OP in these threads never reply or provide one.

>>5687007
Yes, >>5687081 Thank you.
It is seaweed jelly called "I(e)go" in Niigata prefecture or "Okiuto" in Fukuoka prefecture.
You can eat it with "Su-miso" which contains miso, vinegar, sugar, and sometimes mustard.
Some people eat with soy source and vinegar.

>>5687081
Thank you for your explanation instead of me.
It was my post, so you don't have to relate me to the person who has answered nothing until now.
(I'd like to make this thread good and enjoynable with everyone and you. :-3 )

>>5687317

>>5687364
yeah there's only you and me in this thread

>>5687400
I think having to eat that would be more traumatic than endearing.

>>5687310
OK. I see what you mean, but it's difficult for you to expect all pics to be taken by high quality technique, I think.
Because there are various people, and we can't promise you that everyone has DSLR or some high skill.
Additionally almost people here like taking and posting pics relaxedly, I think.
You may be able to find out some pics that you like among them.

>>5687402
Year.
That feeling must be same as one which Hiyoko has given Japanese children ...

>>5687310
And more another thing.
I also like casual ordinary food pictures like >>5682700, >>5683807 and so on, because they tell me dining table story behind pic.
It's important.

No, unfortunately no one has ever tried ramen

>>5688730
I've tried instant microwave ramen anon would you like my culinary critique on that?

>>5688730
This is my old picture, "yasai miso ramen" with ”ajitama" (soft-boiled egg with a taste) .

I like miso ramen that has vegetable and thick noodles.

I really fucking want it.

>>5689408

>>5689520
me too、but very expensive.

You can buy 富士山グラス

or Amazon

I don't know if they send it to your count, sorry.

>>5689688
Yeah.
I prefer ramen with oil to one with clear soup (like Tokyo soy source ramen) f ^_^;
It depends on persons or regions where one people grow up, because there are so many various ramens in Japan.

>>5689688
My mouth waters when I see oil on top of a soup... means it's not shit

>>5689688
And I think there are some persons who post the other type of ramen which you may like in this thread.
Keep on waiting for them. :-)

>>5689852
>>5689860
i dont know what it is with me and just oil on top of ramen. i mean, if its delicious, fuck if i care if theres oil. but i prefferably would take ramen without those oil dots on top. maybe im just a huge bitch or something.

Coincidentally, I just returned from my trip to Japan yesterday. I'll dump some pictures of particular interest.

This was from the Shinyokohama Ramen museum. Ramen should not be this good, but my god I was in tears.

>>5689867
Those come from the food the soup is made from, nothing more. It's perfectly fine and certainly much healthier than the oil used to cook fries in McD's.

>>5689876
Did you get to try Budouka near Waseda? Went there 13 times in the space of one month because of how delicious their ramen was. Still couldn't get tired of it, somehow.

>>5689876
Shirasudon from Enoshima

>>5689883
Funnily enough, Waseda was the university where I studied in Japan. I went to a few Ramen places nearby, but I do not recall their names. I do remember one place offered unlimited refills as long as you had broth remaining. Not sure if this is a common practice.
>>5689886
Something my host mother made one night.

>>5689894
Ikayaki near Sensoji Temple. My favorite Japanese street food.

>>5689867
Ramen has been popular among the busy workers, male students、and so on before, and they like foods that have volume and strong flavor, I think.
Additionally, I happened to hear that in the northern area, they put oil on the top of ramen in order for soup not to get cold.

Anyway you can try various ramen in Japan and pick your favorite ramen up.

>>5689899
How nice!
I'd like to eat ikayaki rigt now.

>>5692069
I have that "wasabi" tube. It's just horseradish colored green.

>>5692493

>>5692509
>It is also called Japanese horseradish,[2] although horseradish is a different plant (which is often used as a substitute for wasabi).

>>5692509
>You know wasabi is just japanese horseradish, right?

Depends on what you are saying exactly.

Wasabi is an actual plant which is often called "Japanese horseradish", but it's not just normal horseradish grown in Japan, it is a different plant.

That being said, even in Japan most "Wasabi" is actually ordinary horseradish. Real wasabi is very expensive so you'd only find that at a fancy restaurant.

deconstructed sushi, there should be a pickled ginger foam on it as well

>>5695050
>iceberg

>>5695265

>deconstructed sushi
>no rice anywhere

>>5695301
The rice is vaporised and fogged over the dish.

>>5695265
>>5695304

That's hardly a "deconstruction". The idea of a deconstruction is to take a complex preparation and reduce it to the basic ingredients and flavors. This looks and sounds more complicated than the food it's meant to replace. It's not a "deconstruction" it's some kind of bizarre variation of the dish.

>>5696747

>>5687400
Source? I'd like to learn to make it.

>>5702434
I really love raw liver, so I'm very very sad that no restaurant has been allowed to supply it since 2012 because of o-157.

I prefered eating it with soy source and grated ginger to salt and sesame oil :-) .

I wander how Rebasashi manias bear everyday.

>>5705860
The fuck is wrong with you

>>5705806
Well, it is Tempura soba.
We can enjoy two tastes. Simple tempura with crispy batter and dipped tempura with soggy batter that takes up delicious soup.

Additionally, some people like soup with batter oil like another soba (" Tanuki soba" pic related. It's cheaper), because no oil is added to soba soup.

I'm sorry, my English is poor and I think my explanation is not enough.. (;_;)

ramen from Osaka

Pickled whole cucumbers

They are good for summer.

Can anyone here instruct me in cooking sushi rice?

It always comes out as grueling paste for me despite washing the rice until the water is clear and letting it sit for three hours.

>>5708774
Wash it first, change water, wash again until there is no starch left. You will still end up with a slimy mess, but while it cools you add some rice vinager and sugar solution and frequently turn it over. Once it's cold it will be like picrelated.

>>5708769
>pickled cucumbers
You mean like pickles? Like they were making pickles but just didn't go all the way?

>>5709115

>going all the way with your pickled cucumbers

l-lewd

>>5709115
It's probably asadzuke, mild pickles that were made with a very light vinegar. They have a completely different flavor and texture from the typical western pickle.

>>5708774
How about amount of water? You may put too much water....?
If you have 500cc rice, you put 500-550cc water when you make sushi rice. (a little bit less water than usual)

While you mix rice and sushi vinegar and so on, you should not knead. It's important to turn over them as if you cut them as hitting a wind in order to reduce water drop.

>>5708774
and here you are
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McNU0YparI0

>>5709087
Also it helps when your rice isn't water logged.

>>5707512
Ahh Hamburg Steak. It's really a sort of meatloaf that is cooked in a pan. one of the most popular dishes in japan.

>>5709115
This is popular style at a stand in a festival because you can eat it without your hands dirty.

This taste's information has already >>5709148 explained, thank you!

boiled salted pork dinner

>>5709427

I'm curious - is there any perceived etiquette to eating this? Americlap here, and I generally just "dig in" to whatever I'm eating. Then again, I usually don't have so many components to deal with. I guess my question could be better reflected by another question: Why are all the vegetables separate? It seems like you could just make a salad by combining most of these elements, yet here they are on their own. So is there some reason for that relating to how to eat it all?

okara hamburg stew

My family didn't like it.

>>5709433
Please give me more time to reply you.

In every single one of these threads I'm always surprised at the size of the meals in the pictures. Given, they're restaurant food and not typical but there's no way in hell I could eat one of those meals in one sitting (And I'm American, hurr hurr)

Also disappointed by the lack of meat in most of the meals, lots of seafood and seafood is great, but most of the beef and pork is boiled.

On another note, I've made Gyudon a couple times, it's impossible to get the meat as thin as it is in pictures, I swear.

>>5709447

Got an hour to kill, I'm here.

>>5709427
This isn't Japanese dish I think, maybe originally from Chinese dish or Korean dish.

We can enjoy making wrap with a crepe (above one at this pic <=not good sorry ), boiled cabbage, boiled salted pork, and other vegetables, and then dip on various sauce.
How to make it is similar to making "Temakizushi" (with seaweed, rice, vegetables, and seafood).

In family party, making something (like BBQ) is enjoyable for us, and most important thing is that host - almost our mother- don't have to make all thing up.

( And also I'd like you to correct my English someday. )

>>5709505
Oh I made a mistake.
>>5709505
is for you >>5709465

>>5709505

Corrected English:

This isn't a Japanese dish, I think. It may be a Chinese or Korean dish originally.

We enjoy making wraps with crepes (seen in the previous picture - sorry this one is not good), boiled cabbage, boiled salted pork, and other vegetables and then dipping them in various sauces.

In a family party, making something (like BBQ) is enjoyable for us. It is very important that the host - usually our mother - does not have to make everything herself.

>Thanks for the explanation.

Asahi Super Dry

>>5709452
Yeah. Same as you, I was surprised at big meats in USA.

Almost Japanese people can feel fed up with less meat than you and other Anglo(?) people, because we have long colon that fits vegetables than meat.
Boiling meat has a roll to reduce meat oil.

Actually If I have too much oily food at once I have a stomachache ... but I love your food.
Because oily or having volume food can make human beings happy. It's general.

>>5709524
Thank you very very much for correcting it :3 !

Good night.

>>5709561
are >>5709540 ???

Lol, and I also have to go to bed, good night.

The Japanese calls Japanese food "Washoku".
Neither a spaghetti Neapolitan nor the curry rice nor the Hiyashi cyuka nor the ramen is "Wasyoku".
The definition of Japanese foods is a very difficult problem.

Does anyone here have trouble recreating their favorite Jap dishes?

How would somebody who lives in europe go about constructing/cooking these dishes?

I eat lots of seafood already and multiple small portions also appeal to me, so this diet is pretty much perfect for me, but I have no experience with it.

And finding a qt japanese gf to cook for me isnt going to happen either.

>>5689408

>>5709436

>>5709452
Agreed. I get a lot of comments being an American not able to finish most meals I'm given here.

>>5709452
You can freeze the beef and slice it thinly but yeah, you're going to have trouble getting it as paper-thin as the restaurants. Your best bet would be to go to a Japanese grocer and just buy their pre-sliced shabu shabu meat.

>>5711605
That pumpkin looks good.

>>5711605
Would you just eat the tofu with the ponzu on it?

>>5709598
But it is one side of Japanese food culture I think.
The spaghetti Neapolitan, the ramen, the curry, and son on are completely different from origins, but they are established as Japanese style foods.

Japanese are good for making something their own type.

>>5708769

does the guy who posted all the pictures before (100bowl or something? maybe?) have a flickr or something? I liked looking at his pictures even if they were just snacks. Or if you are in the thread, hello, do you have a flickr or something?

What kind of sauce do you put on >>5717450?

>>5718689
Tonkatsu sauce; it's like a thick Worcestershire sauce that has fruity undertones.

your tummy is tiny then. I would say that fried pork dish is about like 3-4 mouthfuls more than a full meal for me

a meal specially for children.

N-no... Japanese meals are always so large!

I bought these today (not my picture) - Sata'andagi, an Okinawan bread. It's kind of like a cake doughnut with sweet potato an inside. I can't wait to try these tomorrow!

>>5721597
It depends on cookers, but the noppe of Niigata prefecture also contains satoimo(≒taro), kamaboko( Fishjelly products ) , and sometimes Shiitake mushroom, ginkgo nuts in addition to >seafood, veg, and konnyaku.

I like cold noppe better than hot one. :-)

Japanese food question: what's the best filling for onigiri? I made my first attempt at it today with two different fillings and was happy that I didn't completely fuck it up. Pic related; the ones on the left with the furikake (sprinkles) are carrot and cucumber filled (I don't know, they were just there in the fridge), and the plain ones on the right are cooked salmon and mayonnaise (I saw somewhere that tuna and mayo were common fillings but I had some leftover salmon from last night's dinner).

>>5723493
those are impressive for a first timer

>>5723502
Thanks! Here's another pic. I'll probably go back to the asian market I got the furikake from and get some other flavors. I have a nice fresh tuna steak that I was thinking of doing something with but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

>>5723433
It is. And they were delicious! A bit on the oily side, though.

>>5723545
check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj8MFKdUH7I out maybe

>>5723555
Ah, I knew I fucked up something when i didn't flatten out the rice to cool it. Thanks for the video, I think I'll try the miso paste and the triangle wrapping with the dried seaweed.

>>5723493
the most popular onigiri in japan is salt flavored.

>>5723545
You bro i can cook this rice without a rice cooker. Fucking soggy rice their bro!

Why do egg yolks look so orange in Japan as opposed to bright sunny yellow? And why are so many of them put into dishes raw? That's just ... slimy, isn't it?

>>5700999
What are the weird glowing gemstone looking balls in the lower left corner there? Looks sort of like someone dropped a bead necklace on the dish.

These pics are cool, btw, I'm just curious.

>>5724950

Egg yolks are deep orange in a lot of countries. It's mainly America where they look like the color of piss because the chickens are only allowed to eat Monsanto poison.

>>5719078
