inb4 the australian guy cries about a thread that isn't about fast food

>>5816099
It annoys me to no end how the Japanese decorate their food with this weird plastic grass shit. That does not look appetizing, it looks moronic.
Also, I absolutely love the taste of japanese food, but it always came across to me as a reflection of the Japanese perfectionist, but very sheepish mindset. It's an extremely rigid, by-the-book cuisine that requires an extreme amount of skill, but absolutely zero creativity.

>>5816332
...That plastic shit is found in the U.S and japanese fast food. It's supposed to look like those edible leaves in OPs pic.

>>5816336
thanks!

>>5816342
NP yo.

Someone post some okinawan food. That kyu and bittermelon and ice cold orion man. I've been to Japan like five times, and always after a few weeks of nothing but japanese food you really want some okinawan cause it's closer to western food.

>>5816332

In Japanese cuisine, everything (originally) had a purpose.

Raw food like sashimi was placed on bamboo or other types of leaves that are known to have anti-bacterial properties. But after plastic and modern medicine came to Japan, the cheaper restaurants opted for the more practical plastic leaves.

Baran-zaiku (cutting the leaves into patterns) is a special skill that is sometimes tested in sushi competitions in Japan.

>>5816703
cont'

The dish on the top is temari sushi, placed on sasanoha (bamboo leaves).

had this from burger king on friday. its called the kuro (black) diamondo

Surprisingly it was pretty good. Maybe even my favorite fast food burger. It's been a long time since I've had fast food because I think it's retarded to move to a new country just to have American shit.

>>5816714

Looks like gimmicky shit

Had this from the monster hunter exhibit in Shibuya. Bacon wrapped around ground meet with something's bone in it.

>>5816720

Is this like happosai over ramen?

>>5816099
>so many individual dishes for foods

somewhere there's a dish washer crushed under stacks and stacks of japanese dishes

>>5818983
sapporo is shit tier. I bought a kirin stout last time I was in Japan. It was surprisingly good actually... But normally, the best companion to japanese food is an asahi at -1*C

>>5818983
I usually eat nuts or chips with a spoon, chopsticks seem much more convenient.

>>5818958
>yukkuri shitteite ne~
So this is the kind of browser you are.

>>5819054
wat

Never tried japanese food.

What should I order in when I go out to restaurant for 1st time?

I'm so thankful I'm not a slant-eyed fuckwit that would have to eat this shit day in and day out

>>5819762
Depends of the restaurant, but as a general rule miso soup is a good start in my opinion.

>>5819791
You have to be at least 18 years old to post on this site.

>>5819791
You sound fucking stupid

>>5818958
What's the bottle of?

>>5820105
森伊蔵(Mori_izou)
The bottle is very precious shochu.
It is made a deal for approximately 250-300 dollars.

>>5823419
This is probably the tastiest looking bento I've ever seen. Those fried vegetables really make it.

>>5816713
mfw that burger is probably the shit burger the japanese invented

>>5825207
yeah it's not like there's japanese on that ad or anything

>>5816713
Does the taste differ from a normal burger?

>>5825833
I heard that the bun is black due to bamboo charcoal, and the cheese and burger are black due to squid ink. Plus the sauce is peppery, so it's mostly spicy.

>>5825883
I like spicy. Spicy is good.
I dont think these are available outside of japan though are they?

>>5825932
Yeah, I think they're a Japan-exclusive.

>>5822343
How would you eat that? It just falls apart and make a mess.

>>5825932
>>5825947
I think they're also available in some other Asian countries. I think HK has them, too.

>>5826068
What did you make with all those ingredients?

>>5826821
That's kind of neat. All the deliciousness of eating out without the awkwardness of doing it alone.

>>5826821
That looks comfy.

>>5826988
I would fucking love this in the West. More stuff for loners please.

>>5826821
That's pretty cool.

>>5826823
Do you not like eating alone? I go into restaurants and eat alone all the time.

>>5827301
Restaurants are always filled with large groups of people eating out. That's what I get for living in a college town though.

The further you get away from the college the more diners are sullen bearded men you see sitting by themselves with a cup of coffee and a burger or eggs.

>>5827313
I'm not really talking diners, I live in the capital and largest city of my state, most good restaurants get quite packed, I just tend to walk in and get a table.

>>5827301
I wish I could do that. The only place I can eat alone at are those Pho places.

>>5829626
W-what? Is it melon soda? Why is it in a boot?

>>5829643
Why indeed.

why are the japanese such utter shite?
they are horrible, racist, people.
hypocritical i know, but i honestly gave them a chance. they are fanatically nationalistic in a way that makes the yanks look rational.

>>5829659

Because they're really primitive. Their technology's 21st century, but their society is 18th century.

>>5829659
That does seem pretty hypocritical to me. I've seen Japanese who hate their culture, just as I've seen Americans hate their culture.

>>5827511
What I wouldn't give for this manga to get translated.

>>5829626
>>5829650
Kawaii is justice !

>>5829668
"Being able to eat yakiniku alone or not is telling of whether or not you're an adult."

>>5829674
In Japan, it is natural to eat out alone. However, there seems to be the country which is not so.

>>5829683
I've heard that many people don't like to go for yakiniku alone because it's seen as a social activity. But I think lately there are more people who don't mind so much.

>>5829687
Yes. One roasted meat is natural at lunchtime in particular.

>>5829659
They do have a horrible, oppressive culture than sexualizes children and has some of the worst human rights in the world. They also have shit animal rights. They are literally a couple hundred years behind 1st world nations when it comes to their society. They just this year recognized that children have the same basic human rights as adults, but then decided to give pedos a whole year to dispose of their child porn. I guess child porn is a big thing in japan.

>>5829704
Sekihan? Did something good happen?

Also your kabocha soup (miso?) looks delicious.

On an international bulletin board, Japan is always performed stalking of.

>>5829701
>I guess child porn is a big thing in japan
Highest rape rates in the 1st world. Not a good place to be a woman.

>>5829701
I think this is why anime and video games are so popular there. Rather than deal with their reality they just retreat into a fantasy world. Its much easier than trying to attempt societal reforms. I'm honestly surprised the feminazis haven't launched a campaign in japan yet.

>>5829717
You what now?

Anyway, this is not a /ck/ discussion.

>>5829734
This only accounts for reported rapes, tard.

>>5829734
>police recorded
Thats the thing right there. In japan almost none of them are reported because of how their society treats women. This isn't some secret either, japan actually had to start creating gender specific public services to combat the rampant sexual assaults. There are female only subways with armed security to protect the women.

Actually visit japan sometime. Its a beautiful country, and a lot of the food is excellent, but they need some work.

>>5829738
Oh, so we're making up statistics now. Gotcha.

Regardless, take it to /pol/ or /int/ or something other than /ck/.

>>5829708
>Sekihan?
It is not Sekihan. For health and taste, the wife often cooks the rice which she mixed cereals with.

>Also your kabocha soup (miso?) looks delicious
Thank you very much.
My family may use the commercial miso.
However, the wife uses the miso which oneself made in many cases in my home.

>>5829744
>Actually visit japan sometime.
I live in Japan. I know it needs work, but it's really not as bad as you folks are making it out to be. Polite sage because the discussion has gotten entirely off-topic.

>>5829747
Ah, I see! The rice looks delicious, too. I usually only eat plain white rice... But I could really go for some kuri rice now!!

Wow, your wife makes her own miso? That's great!! I'm sure it tastes better than commercial miso. Is it a mixture of red and white miso?

>>5829745
Don't be a cunt, this is real info and its a real issue. Grow the fuck up and stop denying reality because you don't like it.
If you actually look at the wiki article you got that from you'll notice that there is no section on japan, because in japan women don't have the same ability to even report a rape the way they do in other nations. Rape victims are shunned by society, ignored by police, and outcast by their families. Its literally in japanese culture to forcefully take women, in the belief that a conquered woman will make a better wife.

>>5829748
>but it's really not as bad as you folks are making it out to be.

Try leaving your room sometime. Its horrible here for women.
I'm off to work, but seriously. Open your eyes, everything is not alright.

>>5829748
I take it you're a man? I'm sorry but your opinions on how females are treated in japan are pretty misinformed. Through the eyes of a woman its not a great place to be.

>>5829756
The miso which the wife makes is red miso. It seems to be difficult to make the white miso.
The wife puts miso of my home and the miso which she purchased together.

>>5829766
No, I'm a woman and I've been here for almost 4 years. I pay close attention to how women are treated, but it really isn't as bad as the people in this thread are making it out to be.

>>5829767
Aha, that's smart! I guess the processes of making red miso and white miso are different. Very interesting! Does she use the miso in other dishes, too? I've only ever really used it in miso soup, but I have so much of it...

>>5829769
Are you insanely ugly? I get groped all the time. I get creepy guys following me taking pictures like they think I won't notice. I've caught numerous boys trying to peek their camera up my skirt. I can't even go into a crowded place without several men positioning themselves so they can rub against me.
This is not a good place for women. Where are you? I'm in Chōfu, if that might make a difference.

>>5829776
Maybe you go to crowded places a lot? I've never experienced or seen anything of that sort whatsoever. I'm in Oita.

>>5829772
She makes miso paste for roast beef. It has a sweet flavor, but is more delicious than wasabi and soy sauce.

>>5829783
Ooh, that does sound good! I'll have to try that some time. Thanks for the idea!

You are so lucky to be able to eat delicious food every day. Please don't forget to thank your wife!

>>5829782
You a student?
Oita is full of European and American students.

>>5829789
No, I teach English.

>>5829787
Thank you.
I am one team with a wife. Wife and I built the present life in two people. And two people love it.

>>5829790
Ahhh. Former marinewoman here.

>>5829796
Aww, that's so sweet!

>>5829798
I see. Are you working outside of the Marines now?

>>5829801
Yes indeed. I actually work in pretty much the same field I did when I was in the USMC, I work for a US company that researches telecommunication technology, we employ a lot of Japanese engineers in Tokyo.

>>5829806
That's pretty cool. Are you enjoying it (other than the sexual harassment...)?

>>5829817
Japan is a beautiful country, I've never been to a place like it. When they first told me I was going to Okinawa I didn't know what to expect, but I fell in love with Japan. Met a girlfriend here, I live with her now. Works great, and other than the hurricane this place has been incredibly peaceful. The harassment isn't all that nice but It might have a lot to do with the area I'm in. I've notice there are a lot more men than women. Might also be how I'm required to dress for work, its business formal, but the skirt is a little above the knee.

>>5829823
Can you post a picture of how you look with that sexual harrassment skirt?

For research purposes of course.

>>5829823
Gotcha. So you moved from Okinawa to Tokyo after you left the Marines? Sounds like for the most part you're enjoying it! Is your girlfriend Japanese?

>>5829772
Miso is great in stews and sauces.

>>5829796
Goddammit, my heart.

>>5829738
>>5829759
So how do you know that Japan has the highest rate of rapes if there aren't any reliable statistics? Not to say they have no issues when it comes to rape, it's just one thing to say they have a huge rape problem, and another to specifically say they have the highest rape rates in the first world.

>>5829832
Yes, when I discharged I got already had a job offer so moved to Tokyo for work. My girlfriend is Japanese, but she grew up in California. She works for the same company I do, in a different section.


Pic unrelated but delicious looking

>>5829846
That's pretty neat! Do you think you'll stay in Japan for a while, or have you made plans with your girlfriend to move back to the US?

That cake... Yum...

>>5829840
>So how do you know that Japan has the highest rate of rapes if there aren't any reliable statistics?

Japanese television. There are also quite a few female rights bloggers in japan who have a much more accurate number than what the police report. Give me a minute to try and find it, my japanese is horrible and my girlfriend isn't here to assist me.

>>5829849
I'd love to live here forever if possible. I do still go back to the US regularly, to visit family and for work. Our current plans are to find a larger apartment in Tokyo, but everything decent is incredibly expensive.

>>5829853
Ah, yeah. I've heard horrible things about real estate in Tokyo... Here's hoping things work out in your favor!

>>5829858
Thank you!

Supposedly from that second link Japan's rapes have heavily dropped due to the increase in availability of pornographic material.

If that's the case we can only assume that SK has the rape stats of a sub-saharan war zone and their numbers are completely wrong.

>>5831512
Not what I took from it at all. I understood it to imply that Japanese porn culture has desensitized men to rape and thus rape reports are no longer taken seriously.

SK doesn't have much of a rape problem from what I've seen. There are a lot of prostitutes though. Like, a LOT. Keeps the tourists happy.

>>5831512
>we can only assume that SK has the rape stats of a sub-saharan war zone

typical jap racism
we get it, you hate anyone thats not from your fucked up little island.

>>5831517
That's right my apologies. I made the mistake of skimming.

As someone who was not a part of this conversation at all, are you trying to say that porn availability directly affects the frequency of rapes?

>>5831526
Calm down, Chang. I'm not a jap.

>>5831528
From what I've gathered, yes. This has been postulated in numerous studies. Porn desensitizes people and forces you to seek stronger and stronger stimuli to achieve the same chemical release in your mind. A study in Germany this year showed that people who watch significant amounts of porn are much more likely to engage in violent sexual activity. VICE did an article on it if you feel like googling.

>>5831536
thats cool
im not korean

>>5831543
How many rapists do you think are sitting on 4chan right now?

>>5831551
Statistically, at least a few.
Given the prevalence of date rape, where the girl is drunk and the guy takes advantage, it might be quite high actually.

>>5831517
When I was in the Army we were told that lots of prostitutes in an area usually meant less rape. Or maybe they just rape the prostitutes, I really don't know.

>>5831558
What are roughly the chances of a rapist typing this right now?

>>5831569
Wouldn't know the exact numbers. Just estimating from date I've seen regarding rapes per capita in the US, UK and EU it would seem to be about i rapist per 8000 people. Though, many of these rapes could be committed by repeat offenders.

>>5829734
the "reported" part means it's ideal to live in the country at the top of this chart

>>5831494
It's probably not silver and is most likely stainless steel. Don't deprive yourself, buy one.

In Japan, I have not heard the worry of the rape.
But there is the pervert in a train. Is it confused with a rape?

>What's in the top right and bottom left dishes there?
It is the food boiled and seasoned of greens, a green soybean and laver, sweet and sour pork, kamaboko, miso soup to get on the tray.
Outside the tray, it is kombu, two kinds of pickles, two kinds of rice, a grape.

>>5832584
Those are big grapes! It all looks good.

3) Are you fat or obese (Just wondering because lots of these pics seem to be big meals and I'm unsure about japanese diet)
4) What's your job?

So I had beef negimaki and age tofu from a local Japanese place last night. It is not the greatest place, but it is 10 minutes from my house and it is better than Chinese takeout. The negimaki was disappointing, I wasn't expecting the scallions in it to be so bitter, and all in all it wasn't super flavorful though it certainly wasn't bad. Look almost exactly like pic related.

>>5846850
The original picture of many writers was displayed at the exhibition. The ability of comic artists of the 20th century was overwhelming, and it was splendid. However, as for them, photography is not admitted.
"ベルサイユのばら" was a masterpiece of the marguerites of the 70s.
It became the animated cartoon later. However, a musical greatly influenced the Japanese society than an animated cartoon.
The musical is not a product for children.
The musical is a product for adults. And it was the pioneer that comics were recognized as culture of adult.

>The musical is a product for adults. And it was the pioneer that comics were recognized as culture of adult.

That's interesting, I never knew that. I learned something new today.

It's a warning that gets put on konnyaku jellies because it doesn't break down like regular jiggly things and has blocked old people/kids airways before. That's why they don't sell konnyaku jellies in the US.

i have those exact pair of shorts. looks like someone else likes to shop a KHOLS.

Tax-included 500 yen. Rice includes it.

I don't eat vegetables, would I survive in Japan ?

Dude.... seriously.
l2eatveggies. Problem solved.

No. One person is having lots of rice balls and fruit, while the other one has fried food, vegetables, corn cobs sausages and eggs. Are you dumb?

>>5839086
Holy Fuck, those japs are eating æbleskiver!

Can someone explain to me how the Japanese are able to cook like 10 different things to fit into their lunch box? Doesn't that get kinda expensive since you're cooking so many things in small batches?

I'm not complaining or anything, I love bento boxes when I go out for Japanese food where I get tempura, sushi, teriyaki chicken and a salad. But I can't imagine cooking so many different foods every day.

those are some good looking grapes

>>5854127
The fuck happened to those eggs?

>>5854257
probably marinated in soy sauce over night
though usually the coloring is supposed to be darker I think

Reminds me of my last holiday. We must have looked so stupid trying to eat the whole fish with chopsticks.

There is the production center of a good grape in the place where it does not take two hours by car from Tokyo.
Katsunuma, Yamanashi.
In a season, many good grapes arrive at Tokyo.
And I can go for buying.

A friend told me the Japanese peel their grapes. Looking at these it almost seems reasonable.

>>5854288

Those look delicious

It makes me think of that chapter in this book where the yakuza guy saw grapes for the first time when he was a young man

Most commonly, homemade bento is made from leftovers. Home prep of fresh bento is just about dead.
When it is, however, made fresh, it's an arduous and pain-in-the-fuckhole task. You know how in the US, kids in school can get picked on or admired for their choice of clothing (since the US largely lacks uniforms for state-run schools)? Well, in Nipville, kids can get picked on or admired for the intricacy (or lack thereof) of the lunch mummy has packed them, especially amongst girls.

When made fresh, most of the dishes are actually simple to prepare things so the painstaking parts are all spent only on the presentation. If ya don't give half a fuck about presentation, you can, of course, just have tasty food and be done with it but as Nip culture, despite all their emphasis on humility and blah blah blah, is perhaps the most outer-focused culture on the planet, concerned more with appearance than anything else, even down to the point of what they're eating.

I was busy this year and was not able to secure that time.
Anyone can gather a grape in Katsunuma.
Anyone can eat a grape in a vineyard of Katsunuma.

>>5854303When a child went to school with a bento, I cooked a bento when a wife was busy.
The sausage which I cut in the form of the octopus. An omelette. The frozen food that I can raise in a neighborhood. Even the man who does not usually cook can make some bento with those combinations.
And a Japanese housewife is able.
In dinner, it was natural to cook the dish for the tomorrow's lunch. And, at the time when the dynasty was short, the wife did various addition and made a splendid bento.
I feel the unknown matter to be difficult in anyone.
However, anyone can easily deal with an everyday matter.
It is such a thing.

You're always drinking the most interesting looking stuff with your meals. Where do you buy that french whisky? How would you describe the taste?

>>5855697
Also I found this website that describes it but that particular bottle isn't even listed ;_;

What is that?

A grape is a fruiting berry of the deciduous woody vines of the botanical genus Vitis. Grapes can be eaten raw or they can be used for making wine, jam, juice, jelly, grape seed extract, raisins, vinegar, and grape seed oil. Grapes are a non-climacteric type of fruit, generally occurring in clusters

Shit I need one of those things for work.
Only micro waves there, no oven, no open flame, no running with scissors.

It is smooth softly. Some sweetness. Flavor like marl. It is calm and is soft.

Sorry. A Japanese site.
