I'm in Japan right now. Honestly, the food is absolutely amazing. If you haven't been to Japan, you can't judge the cuisine from whatever you have in your home country.

I have had so much good food in the past 10 days, only a small amount of things I didn't like. Those being, natto and metaiko off the top of my head.

10/10 cuisine.

I particularly loved Kyoto. Kyo-Kaiseki, Obanzai, tofu, pickles - fuck, everything I ate there was so good (though pretty much every meal I had was bare minimum $30.)

It's konyaku sashimi with su-miso. Su-miso is a type of sauce that is used typically in ae-mono (closest approximation is a tossed salad), and made with miso, vinegar, sugar, and egg yolk.

This desu. Food from Japanese restaurants here didn't even compare. On the first few days I was in Japan I actually felt like the food tasted bland and was kinda disappointed but after my taste buds had adjusted the food blew my dick off. The western palette is so accustomed to rich, heavy, salty, creamy foods you don't really get the same experience unless you completely adjust your diet.
Really made me want to travel more to eat. Eating foreign food in restaurants is so meh.

Miso soup is indeed a pillar of Japanese cuisine.

The concept of "一汁三菜," or having "1 soup and 3 different dishes" every meal is the most important tenet of Japanese cuisine.

In the Japanese brigade system, the sous chef, or 煮方 nikata is responsible for preparing all soups, right up from making stock in the morning. One reason why it's considered difficult to prepare the stock is because there is a certain level of precision required when using katsuobushi and konbu. They're both prone to over extraction, and adjustments need to be made for seasonal fluctuations in the water. This is why some Kyoto style kaiseki restaurants in Tokyo ship water from Kyoto everyday for cooking.

A real Japanese restaurant would change their miso soup at least once a month, if not every week. The ingredients, and type of miso used would have to match the season.

I could go on and on about miso soup, but if you're ever get to come toJapan, you'll be surprised to know that miso soup is usually served at the end of a meal, with rice and pickles.

The red miso soup, or akadashi, is commonly used to gauge a chef's skill.

I totally understand why youd think Japanese food is bland. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that there is no sauteeing, stir frying, or the use of any garlic in traditional Japanese cuisine.

Also you really have to keep your nose clear... A lot of the "seasoning" is basic, just salt, sugar, miso, soy sauce, and the rest depends on the quality of the featured ingredient. This is why even cheaper restaurants are sensitive to the seasons. There's literally a dish in late spring thats basically a braised whole onion. The "sauce" is nothing more than stock, sugar, and light soy sauce, because you're supposed to enjoy the "freshness" of seasonal onions.

Food in Japan is cheap because food service workers are paid a garbage salary (flat pay) and made to work insane hours... Illegals and Mexicans in American kitchens ain't got shit on us.

I work 16+ hours for 6 days a week, but I get a salary that's based on a 12 hour day. It's technically illegal, but also an extremely common practice. I know workers in 24 hour soba stores get even less pay than me for even more hours worked...

The worst I heard was from an apprentice who burned out of a 2 star restaurant in Akasaka.... He lived in the company dorm that was 2 blocks away from the restaurant. Worked for 19+ hours a day, slept for. 3 and a half hours a day, 6 days a week. No exaggeration.

The majority of food shops in Japan are considered "black," or illegal, but this is why you can buy a nice big bowl of soba (no artificial additives at places like 吉そば) for less than 500 yen...

The corndogs they sell at familymart. I've never felt as good as when I entered a Japanese convenience store to buy a couple of their delicious deep fried foods after a day's walking in Tokyo.

Cook at home? seriously not that hard, or just go to hole in the wall mom and pop shops

This.
Drank pic related like water until I realized it has some 50gs of sugar in a 7oz can. Delicious as fuck all though I limit myself now.

Fucking patrician taste.
These and their strawberry milks are like crack for me. But drinking too many of the Milk Teas fucks me over from the caffeine in it.

I tried making my own but I just can't get it to taste the same.

Can only find it in little tokyo, online they try selling them 6-10USD a fucking can. Agree, don't know what it is but the royal milk and the melon are happiness in a can.

update: woke up with diarrhea and a horrible headache

I would advise only making rice with water sources you trust enough to drink

I know nothing about japanese food but I have wanted to try tonkatsu. The only japanese "food" I've had was candy from an import store I'll go to every few months or so

Lol...is that mackerel with teriyaki sauce?

[Anonymous No.11284653]

>>11284576
Basically yes. The sauce is a mixture of soy sauce, mirin and a bit of sugar.
