Weaboo general: mapo tofu and way too much wakame edition.

[Anonymous No.20237449]

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?

This is like creating a thread about German cuisine and OP's pic is a bowl of fried rice but it's ok because the there's a little side dish of sauerkraut so it's ackshully the German version

[Anonymous No.20238319]

my uncle Peter (US Army) was stationed in Darwin Australia in WWII. He was a staff sergeant and radio operator on a B-24 bomber, defending Australia from Japanese invasion.

One day on a routine weather reconnaissance flight they crash landed (either shot or malfunction, we don't know) on a remote mountaintop in Indonesia. 5 of the 8 crew were killed in the crash. Uncle Peter was one of the survivors. The japs immediately executed one of them, and the other two were taken prisoner. One of the prisoners was sent directly to Japan because he was related to a US Admiral (he was executed eventually in Japan), and my uncle was enslaved in indochina and eventually worked to death building a japanese railroad in India.

after the war ended the effort to locate MIAs, KIAs, and identify remains in both theaters was absolutely astounding. hundreds of thousands of dead and missing were meticulously investigated and tracked down all around the world. With the help of some brilliantly dedicated people in the Australian Defence Force, they investigated the crash, found the spot in remote Indonesia, located the shallow graves of the dead, tracked my uncle to Asia and identified his body in a mass grave in India, along with many thousands of others. my brother issued a Freedom of Information request from the US government on whatever they have about my uncle and within a few weeks they sent 300 pages of documentation; from his enlistment and training to his combat history and ill fated mission, all the way to how they tracked down, identified, and cared for his remains. it's pretty fucking amazing.


he has a grave in Pearl Harbor HI that for many years had no remains, and finally in the early 1950s his skeleton was repatriated and buried under his headstone.

>brown rice sushi with grass on top
I want to know more about this piece. What the "grass" actually is, how it tastes, why they bothered with all that effort (up to and including making a separate batch of rice) for one piece on a platter.

Hot damn, now I want to eat it.

>It is an excellent palate cleanser after eating fatty sushi toppings. As a condiment, it can also completely change the perception of the umami of fish, just by adding a few sprigs on top.
I love how it also serves an actual purpose other than just being food.

What annoys me the most about Japanese food is the sheer amount of dishes you see in pictures. Like bitch I do not want to wash 8 dishes per person just because you want your soy sauce on its own for dunking fucking rice in. This is an English household and in this household you will pile all your food on one fucking plate unless it's Sunday.
