What exactly have you been eating and where have been eating it? What kind of restaurants are you going to? How are you finding the restaurants? Are you just getting food from the konbini and super markets or what? What foods tasted the same to you? I lived in Japan for two years and ate out constantly and I didn't even come close to eating everything I wanted to. Osaka and Tokyo are some of the food capitals of the world. Ramen alone, I must have had hundreds of bowls, none of them was similar to the last, I only ate at like 1/10th of the places I wanted to go to.

I can't remember everything I ate, this was 2 years ago;
all the classics, various ramen, sushi, beef bowl, okoniyaki, hotpot, takoyaki, katsu etc. In different restaurants. No I didn't live off konbini food, although I tried a lot of it.
It all starts to taste the same after a while. I think you're fetishising japanese cuisine. Take ramen for example. I tried probably 20 different places and they are all the same, salty umami bland nothingness. There are no intense flavors in Japan everything is safe and tastes of soy and rice.

I've been living here for three months and I agree. Don't get me wrong, it's decent, but nothing I'd write home about. I miss my country's cuisine and groceries a fair bit, to be honest. The upside is the low cost of rice, and the onigiri at Family Mart is pretty good. Having cheap and bottled green tea available 24/7 is also a plus.

Americans have no idea how bad it really is. No one in china knows what the fuck beef and broccoli is or sweet and sour pork. Chinese food is disgusting. Literally the worst parts to eat of any animal. Makes sense because chinks are the race of humans closest to animals. They make disgusting noises when they eat, slurp everything, men in the streets lift their fucking wife beaters over their sweaty stomachs while laughing and chewing with their mouths full of food.

That is literally impossible. Did you eat at the same chain over and over in different places? Do you not have functioning tastebuds?
For example, every single bowl in this picture taste completely different. And no rich flavors? Tonkotsu broth with huge pieces of fatty pork belly, and even heaps of garlic or chilli sauce if you want isn't a strong flavor?
