where do i get it
how do i make it

sushi restaurant?
it's delicious, sweet, piping hot, so much variety

So are you a food otaku or not?
What's your favorite?
This is shabu shabu, the meat is sliced thinly and served raw, then cooked by dipping in broth just before eating. Also very delicious!

For sushi dining, the fickle /jp/sie is best served by chirashi, which offers a wide pre-selected variety of fish. You get a little of everything, so there's no need to quibble over options. The rice bed seasoning is wonderful, and the serving size is big enough for a dinner.

How about yakisoba?
Have you ever tried yakisoba pan?

>>10992230

Those eggs (?) are beautiful. They look like little beads.

>>10992256
yes probably tuna or salmon roe

>>10992197

It bears the same name as meth?

I've known the spelling for 鋤焼 for years from Core2k and I think this is the first time I've ever seen what it looks like.

I went to Yoshinoya a while ago; you know, Yoshinoya?
Well anyways there was an insane number of people there, and I couldn't get in.
Then, I looked at the banner hanging from the ceiling, and it had "150 yen off" written on it.
Oh, the stupidity. Those idiots.
You, don't come to Yoshinoya just because it's 150 yen off, fool.
It's only 150 yen, 1-5-0 YEN for crying out loud.
There're even entire families here. Family of 4, all out for some Yoshinoya, huh? How fucking nice.
"Alright, daddy's gonna order the extra-large." God I can't bear to watch.
You people, I'll give you 150 yen if you get out of those seats.
Yosinoya should be a bloody place.
That tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the U-shaped table can start a fight at any time,
the stab-or-be-stabbed mentality, that's what's great about this place.
Women and children should screw off and stay home.
Anyways, I was about to start eating, and then the bastard beside me goes "extra-large, with extra sauce."
Who in the world orders extra sauce nowadays, you moron?
I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to eat it with extra sauce?"
I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour.
Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "extra sauce"?
Coming from a Yoshinoya veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, extra green onion.
That's right, extra green onion. This is the vet's way of eating.
Extra green onion means more green onion than sauce. But on the other hand the price is a tad higher. This is the key.
And then, it's delicious. This is unbeatable.
However, if you order this then there is danger that you'll be marked by the employees from next time on; it's a double-edged sword.
I can't recommend it to amateurs.

as for fish, salmon / smoked salmon >= high quality tuna > * > mediocre tuna

I want to go to 日本 only for eating. Food touring would be the best.

>>10992293
Who the hell spells すき焼き like that?

>>10992436
>for 2
I'd eat that alone

sashimi

but I think octopus must be cooked, am I right?

>>10992459
Octopus is illegal to eat because they are smart like dogs.

>>10992459
> Because the suction cups on the arm pieces are still active when the dish is served, special care should be taken when eating sannakji. The active suction cups can cause swallowed pieces of arm to stick to the mouth or throat. This can also present a choking hazard for some people, particularly if they are intoxicated.

>>10992281
Big ones are salmon roe and small ones are flying fish roe.

>>10992477
That's not true, I buy octopus at my local Japanese food store all the time.

>>10992477
It's actually very scary that primitive life form as octopus is so intelligent. Maybe there in depths exists a long forgotten civilization...

>>10992532
Why did you put plastilina on it.
Wassaaaa wasaaa

Why eat your food raw like a barbarian?

Are you not aware of the parasites in fish?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBU1DLksVF0
I like takoyaki

>>10992109
No, OP.
I love sukiyaki.

>>10992616
raw fish is actually better for you.
>>10992622
I have a traditional iron takoyaki pan. I use it quite often actually, most of the time without octopus. I do sometimes make pancake balls with chocolate chips in a similar fashion. I am actually very good at cooking I'm mostly fond of Yoshoku dishes, so I can cook them the best. Nikujaga is my favorite.

I like sukiyaki very emotional http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C35DrtPlUbc

>>10992616
it's fucking oishii

>Everything is an hour away

How does it feel?

It's okay, but the place near me only adds like 3-4 strips of beef in it each time I ordered it, so I stopped getting it. It was kind of bland too.

I prefer gyuudon or yakiudon though.

Not many Japanese places in southern New Jersey though.

>>10992616
Parasites are mostly a problem in freshwater fish, like salmon. In Japan, they pretty much only use ocean fish in sashimi/sushi. Salmon, which is only commonly used outside of Japan, can be rendered safe by freezing it for a couple of weeks. I usually avoid salmon, though, more because it's not particularly authentic than because of parasites.

>>10992693
>It was kind of bland too.
Yeah they are doing it wrong. The mirin creates a sweet flavor I can't compare to any other soup/stew I've had.

>>10992720
>more because it's not particularly authentic
fucking weaboo

>>10992732
Where exactly do you think you are?

>>10992720
Then what about mercury?

>>10992743
>I use this as an excuse for being stupid

>>10992743
Kill yourself back to gaia queer.

>>10992743
2hu and VN board. Go be weeaboo in /int/ or /a/

>>10992720
But raw, smoked, or cured salmon is a true miracle of the universe.

>>10992746
It's fine as long as you don't overindulge.

>>10992783
I like smoked salmon just fine, but it's not particularly Japanese.

>>10992797
holy shit you're an actual weaboo

>>10992772
We're literally in a thread about Japanese food. The whole thread is like this.

>>10992459
Yeah. It's cooked.

The one cooked by Chamber is the best.

>>10992803
It's not weeaboo to want my Japanese food to be Japanese. I don't need everything in my life to be Japanese. For what it's worth, I want my Italian food to be authentically Italian, too.

>>10992826
There's nothing Japanese about raw fish.

>>10992826
Kill yourself.

>>10992837
Why do you care so much?

>>10992840
I don't want crossboard scum to contaminate the pure waters of /jp/. Get out of /jp/ immediately faggot.

stop fighting kudasai

>>10992843
What has he said that indicates that he visits other boards?

Around when did you start using the term "crossboarder"?

>>10992831
You're right. Lot's of cultures do the raw meat/fish thing. However, when you start calling it sashimi/sushi, you're making a claim that it's prepared in a Japanese style, and I personally expect it to be authentic. If other people like California rolls and such, that's fine for them. I'm not telling anyone else what to eat or not eat.

>boiling meat
Typical Japanese idiotism

>>10992826
I wouldn't bother replying to posts like this.
If you're confident in your reasoning, you have nothing to prove.
For what it's worth, I agree with you on authenticity.

>>10992879
Yeah, I've been here long enough that I really should know better than to respond to obvious trolls (then again, if no one responded to trolls on 4chan, the number of posts would probably drop by about 90%).

could more food otaku post interesting things please?

I like the sukiyaki song.

I saw some dried seaweed snacks at Walmart yesterday. They were extremely lightweight, and would probably cost $50/pound if you bought that much.

>>10993513
I think you'll get thyroid cancer from that much sodium.

I'm wishing more foodpictures

What is up with japan and the desire to eat weird raw stuff they dredged out of the ocean?

Sushi with some raw tuna? Fine. But entire plates of just raw seafood and crazy shit?

>>10996247
see >>10992630

maybe try it one day

>>10996247
lmao you think octopus is weird?

>>10996247
do you mean to imply that this is a behaviour somehow unique to japan

>>10996247

The difference is, they can eat their food raw because it doesn't kill them. We have to cook our food in Europe (and by extension America) because we mainly eat things that are disease ridden.

>>10996281
I've seen Japanese eating rare chicken. There's no way you could get away with that in America. It's like every day there's some new type of salmonella.

>>10996291

not just rare but raw mixed up in a salad.

I live in japan and the only time I have tried raw chicken - which was actually delicious when dipped in ponzu - I got very sick with shits/vomiting for two days. all 12 or so of the japs I ate with were totally fine.

>>10996295

Perhaps they're immune? I know eating raw food (in Britain at least) is suicide. You can get ill just from touching raw food. Shit, I work in on a production line for a supermarket, and we use the baskets they send back to us in stacks. I pulled my basket up and put it on a pallet, and when I got back there a raw piece of chicken in the basket, it must have been there around 12 hours. I got sick just from being that close to it, I had to take the next day off.

>>10996302
Canadian here. I ate two raw steaks and felt fine.

>>10996306

Steak is fine. You can eat blue steak, you have to sign a waiver though saying that if you get ill its not the restaurant's fault.

When I ate it I puked and shat for two days thereafter. Even though the food wasn't the cause, whenever I think about the food I just feel sick.

um you guys are kind of ruining the mood of the thread

>>10996302
>Perhaps they're immune?
This could be the case. Their digestive systems are probably used to it and the necessary antibodies or whatever are passed down in utero. I know people who have never eaten sashimi before getting the runs after trying it.

>>10996313

Yeah, I've also heard stories about families that only eat raw meat developing immunities to it (and becoming ill if they eat cooked food), but I don't really believe it, because if that was true we would never have started cooking food in the first place.

>>10996315
but cooked is great too

>>10996279

Yes it is actually. Other countries might enjoy it to some extent, but no one eats raw seafood like they do as far I'm concerned. Inuits do it out of necessity. I'm sure they don't like eating muktaaq all day.

>>10996281

I'm almost positive all that raw seafood is frozen to kill pathogens even in Japan.

>>10996314

lol

>>10992663

And fuck, guess I'm never going to those places again just in case I run into you. Ajishin has become a shithole recently because too many people and theres this one waitress who is a giant bitch.

>>10996315

I don't think its so much to do with the cooking as it is the extent to which we sterilise our food. I know you can eat pork raw, there's about as much risk as with steak, but nobody is brave enough to do it.

On a side note, isn't it weird how the Japanese won't eat fruit skin because they're scared of pesticides, but will eat whatever tentacle-ridden infernal beast they drag out of the ocean.

>>10996247
Fucking barbarians that is what they are!

http://youtu.be/1Tys3V9u3dg?t=3m51s<wbr>

>>10996324
>all that raw seafood is frozen to kill pathogens even in Japan

nope. that fucks up the fish. japs value freshness which means no freezing.

>>10996315
>becoming ill if they eat cooked food
I doubt that. They might get a little sick because they aren't used to it, but humans have eaten cooked food since the discovery of fire. As far as I know, fish is safer to eat raw, most "raw" meats are chemically cooked in lime juice and whatnot.

>>10996324
>I'm almost positive all that raw seafood is frozen to kill pathogens even in Japan.
It depends on how fresh it is. I watched a documentary about a sushi restaurant and they get the fresh catch every morning and use it for the whole day.

>>10996336
> isn't it weird how the Japanese won't eat fruit skin because they're scared of pesticides, but will eat whatever tentacle-ridden infernal beast they drag out of the ocean.
To be fair, pesticides are poisons. I would be wary of consuming anything that is designed to kill other things. I do think the worry is overblown though, even here in America.

>>10996363

I don't know. I mean, I know pesticides and other things are harmless to humans, but that stuff doesn't leave your body, its stored in your fat. Then, if you're a women, you pass it down to your baby because pesticides make their way in to the breast milk. I know its harmless, but it just feels wrong. Many people worry about them being bombarded with radiation to sterilise, but all's it is UV, and we get more exposure to that from the giant nuclear fusion orb in our sky. The only thing I worry about is that the bacteria will become resistant.

Also, I can say always at least wash your fruit and veg. I pack that stuff, and I can tell you even here in Britain we follow the health and safety guidelines very loosely. I seen people sneeze and go back to touching the food, sweat on it, drop it on the floor and put it back on the belt ect.

>>10996309
Never had to sign for carpaccio.

It mostly depends on the quality of the meat. Generally if you can be sure the animal had no diseases or parasites then it's fine, it's just that most mass produced meat is produced in filthy conditions so it's not as safe as it could be. Meat that is intended to be eaten raw is produced under more strict standards to try to minimize the risk, and they buy it as such. Same goes for fish or whatever. It's not the same as the fish or meat you'd just buy off the shelf to use in cooked food.
