Why do people not give Japanese cuisine more criticism with their variations the way they do with americans? They're both just as bad

Because of weebs and orientalists who worship Japan. While it was a great warrior nation historically and I can respect their adherance to tradition, I think we can all agree their cuisine is a bit shit

If I'm in the mood for a thing then I'll eat that thing instead of spending time obsessing over whether or not some region does that thing better than someone else. When was the last time you even had any of the foods you just listed?

[Anonymous No.16272281]

the japanese variations on foreign dishes aren't improvements on the original, so nobody is jealous of the japanese for making superior versions. while the american versions of italian cuisine are all the superior versions and the definitive versions around the world, which makes euros hate americans because they're jealous that nobody fucking likes neapolitan style pizza.

I agree with most of the above although I enjoy Japanese desserts and "sweets" more because they're not like our all-american tooth-aching sweet diabetes-inducing stuff.

so japs actually make spaghetti with ketchup

Japanese spaghetti tastes like sweetened tomato noodles. No zest or body to it.

Don't forget fucking corn on pizza.

[Anonymous No.16272965]

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

why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

Japanese curry is modelled more after English curry. Thai curries are an unsuitable analogue.

Because the only "people" that care about Japanese variations on western cuisine are weebs, and they are not people.

When I was in Japan the eel in sweet soy sauce was the best thing I had. That stuff is great. Also had wagyu beef in Takayama

Japan was almost entirely isolated from the rest of the world for hundreds of years and didn't have the connections required to develop cuisine at an increased rate. Japan's food isn't bad, it's just basic and simple.

[Anonymous No.16275222]

Why compare thai curry to japnese curry? They're very different types of curries.

Anyway what about sticky rice. The genus is specifically called 'japonica' rice. So the rice is kind of special.

[Anonymous No.16275249]

>>16272965
Do they really think it's authentic though?

Althouh i'm not really surprised they bastardize food. It's pretty much 90% of japanese food anyway. They just bastardize it to their taste. Even meat was bastardized really. They had to add a bunch of soy sauce and shit to make meat even remotely palatable to their taste buds.

Why do people not give Ukrainian cuisine more praise with their variations the way they do with Japanese?
