Why Japanese food looks so bland? Do they use spices at all or is just raw ingredients together?

Sushi typically has wasabi under the fish, and often has a light sauce or something brushed over the fish.
Broth dishes usually have the seasonings cooked into the broth. Fermentation is often an option to add flavor to/preserve food. They don't use a lot of traditional dried spices, no. It may look bland/simplistic, but that's sort of the aesthetic style they seem to prefer. And the food is usually plenty flavorful.

Japanese cuisine is a focus on balance and texture. It is kind of bland overall compared to food from a lot of other countries, but there's a reason why they have the longest life expectancy.

EVERY JAPANESE RECIPE

I unidentifiable slice of pork that no western butcher would ever recognize

2 hand of ginger peeled with a spoon and sliced into unsatisfying sticks

1 garlic clove

2 grains of black pepper

3 cups of thick chili paste made with fermented wasps and battery acid and butterscotch candies, aged in a barrel tossed off a boat in the sea of Japan

1/2 cup of soy sauce -- not the kind you have. Whatever kind you have, it's wrong.

1 cup of clear white wine? that you would never drink in real life

48 gallons of water

Blanche the pork? in warm water, scrubbing with a horse brush to remove impurities. Rinse the pork and boil it for 2 minutes. Pour out the disgusting pork water and put the pork in washing machine set on cool color. Reserve the now pallid grey pork as if examining a cadaver in medical school.

Wave the single clove of garlic near the kitchen door to transfer its essence. Bury the garlic in the garden and never speak of it again. Make a sauce/marinade of ginger and chili paste and soy sauce and wine and a whiff of black pepper. Boil the pork in the liquid until unrecognizable.

Bow and cover your mouth coquettishly as you serve over rice.

Every Japanese Recipe

All you need is the following:
Dashi, Soy Sauce, Mirin, Sake, Miso

Make dashi. Forget any kind of stock with fish bones, or any kind of bone, the only stock you will never need in Japan in dashi made with mushrooms, fish flakes, or anchovies.

Throw some soy sauce, dashi, mirin, sake, and boil it. Add some cooked noodles, vegetables, maybe a bit of ginger, tofu, and you're set. Or maybe a thinly sliced meat. OH and don't forget to deep fry random shit to a crispy, and throw it into a soup where it's going to get soggy. Mmmmm.

Now garnish with narutomaki and some other shit that's hard to find even at normal asian grocers and you can make most Japanese recipes.

Repeat for every meal, with a bowl of extremely plain rice, and delicious natto if you're eating breakfast.

In the case you're not making soup, take a cut of meat and either
1) Deep fry it
2) Fry it in soy sauce, mirin, sake, with a hint of dashi

Don't forget to deep fry everything in Japan.

This. And, pork is the last thing that needs to be flashfried. inb4 you say that austria does it...it was originally veal, not pork, done like that. It's pounded quite thin to keep it tender.

Japanese food is bland. It's the facts.
