Hello.

What are those things with the screwdriver cuts in them?

>>11701440
hi! let's post japanese food we love or want to try

>>11701445
mushrooms, maybe porchini

white miso

mmmmmmmmm

OP are you the one posting the cantonese food pics.

They look pretty on pictures, but honestly I would still be hungry after one or even two or these soups.

Why do Asian people love fried chicken so much? I live near a few fried chicken places, they're always full of Asians. It's weird because they're all so skinny too.

>>11701515
Everyone loves fried chicken, but I was thinking that was the stereotype for black people

Do you food otaku know good Japanese food related tv shows? I've watched お試しかっ! sometimes and every episode of Dotch Cooking which was really awesome.

>>11701540
Cooking With Dog all day every day.

>>11701515
Because American food is cool and hip.

>>11701554
I wanted to say it too, but he asked for tv shows, so I was not sure!

>>11701530
Yeah me too.

>>11701569
Well the final straw of me noticing this (and I was considering posting about it before this thread) was when I saw a group of Japanese tourists in an Indian-ran fried chicken restaurant here in England. Though I guess American food is pretty hip in England...I only went to the fried chicken place because McDonald's and the "American diner" were full.

>>11701572
"TV" is just internet slang for "video". Thank about the word "TV". It stands for "television". "Tele-vision". Remember televisions?

Or to sum up my point in a more pointful way: the /jp/ radio isn't a radio.

>>11701540
I watch about 50 of runnyrunny999 videos yesterday

>>11701589
I see your point you are making. Now I understand.

>>11701484

Why do japs like shit fool?

Is food in general expensive in japan? I can imagine especially meat is not cheap.

>>11701554
>>11701600
They are pretty cool and I've been a subscriber for a long time but not really what I'm looking for now.
Aren't there any Japanese Gordon Ramseys or Jamie Olivers?

>>11701540
Iron Chef

Unagi kabayaki

>>11701618
I love Ramsay-sensei so much. I especially like when he talks to people who have their heart in the right place and he's super nice. It's rare, but it proves he's not just a bully for the sake of being a bully. He just wants people to succeed.

Jamie Oliver-sama I don't like so much. Not because he's a bad chef, I just don't like the way he talks. I feel like he acts more stupid than he really is, even when he's doing all this clever stuff.

Okonomiyaki

>>11701621
With with ketchup?

>>11701632
That's the really tasty unagi sauce that they have in those cool bucket pot things.

>>11701632
Nah, it's a special soy-based sauce, it's sweet in flavour.

>>11701628
It's cuz he pretends to be like the common man, innit bruv?

Also why he puts on a Mockney accent.

>>11701635
teriyaki?

Shichimi - Seven Flavor Chili Powder!

is baby star japanese?

>>11701642
It's a special kabayaki sauce, I guess it's saltier than teriyaki and you have the delicious smoky flavours from the eel. Top notch dish.

My Japanese girlfriend said she's going to make me sukiyaki when I go to Japan in a few weeks

I'm so excited :3

>>11701656
Enjoy your raw eggs

>>11701657
I will

I will enjoy anything that girl makes for me.

>>11701635
Talking about soy sauce, did anyone try out a white ones? My local asia store has them, but I am not sure if I will not like it.

>>11701646

is this what they put on their ramens?

>>11701471
What is this called?

>>11701540
Kodoku no Gourmet, three season of its TV series is subbed, shame nobody translates the manga.

>>11701631

This is the best. Insanely good.

>>11701540
Dotch cooking is insanely good food porn. To the point that I sometimes have to stop watching because I get too hungry. It's kinda weird as no other food program does this to me...

Sashimi is delicious.

The recipe for tempura was introduced to Japan by Portuguese Jesuit missionaries particularly active in the city of Nagasaki also founded by the Portuguese, during the sixteenth century (1549)

I eat this sometimes. (Not my picture)

>japanese food
browsing /ck/, seeing this shit just seems like someone was too lazy to prepare it properly

>>11704614
who am I kidding, /ck/ is fastfood only

I'm shit at cooking, but I just made tamako gohan. The idea sounded and looked disgusting as fuck. Raw egg mixed with rice + soy sauce.

It was fucking delicious and much more satisfying than the ramen I otherwise would have had.

You sit at the restaurant with your young son, he says he is hungry. You agree to get him dinner. You open up to the kids menu, your child is far to young for adult food. Chicken nugger stares at you from the page. You don’t understand. Your palms get sweaty and your son complains. He says he is hungry. Your mind strains, searching for an answer in a world of sweer potato and french fried. You try to order the chicken nugger, but you cannot. The words cannot escape your lips. Your son is hungry, he complains. The waitress stares at you, her head a spinning chicken nugger, her arms swinging french fried. Your son cries the tears of a chicken nugger-less child. In your mind you scream. It is raining sweer potato now, you have french fried engraved on your left temple and you do not understand. Your son weeps in the corner, he is starving. Starving for the chicken nugger.

jap food is so overrated. comparing jap food to chinese is like comparing english food with french.

>>11709173
Oh hey another 4chan meme stolen from Tumblr.

>>11709188
Fuck you m8. English cuisine is like a "best of" cuisine featuring the best dishes from around the world. There's a reason chicken tikka masala is our national dish.

>>11701657
complaining about raw eggs means your a faggot

>>11709206
>There's a reason chicken tikka masala is our national dish.
yeah because your native food is godawful

>>11701668
negibuta ramen

>>11710441
Is it really that much salt on top?

>>11701514
What is the name of this?

>>11710493
I don't know but it's Chinese and looks like it's cooked in gutter oil.

>>11710461
Is it salt? Not cheese?

>>11710461
I think that's grated parmesan cheese, dude

I really want to taste takoyaki, has anyone here tasted it?

>>11711608
please respond

I want to learn how to make some of this shit, looks fucking delicious.

Any tips on where to learn to make some of this?

>>11711608
Yes, its not really notable in a either a good or bad way, and I've had it multiple times. I guess the weird mayo sauce stuff can taste pretty decent though. If you're even in a situation when you can get it in a festival, I'd say you'll always be better off getting some food that isnt weeb shit.

>>11711676

Step 1: Cook basically anything.
Step 2: Grab your camera and learn how to take good photos.
Step 3: Congratulations.

Chicken Tikka Massala originated in England, though. The Indians never put Massala sauce over their Chicken Tikka.

>>11704523
What legs , you mean asagohan right?

Btw, i`d like to try cooking something like that. It's a challenge!

Is it safe to do that thing where they crack an egg over a bowl of rice and mix it together with supermarket eggs? It looks pretty tasty but I don't want to get chicken AIDS.

>>11711804
What country? Salmonella is pretty much almost eradicated in the US.

>>11711830
God bless America

tfw no asian wife to make ramen for you ;___;

Do Japanese even cook their own food at home or do they just go out to eat all the time

>>11711608
It really isn't that great
imagine eating a fuwwa fuwwa kaiki only for it to turn suddenly chewy. with warm mayo and bonito frakes
maybe the one i had wasn't that great but i still like it. just wasnt as great as i was expecting

>>11711804
Yes, but do try to get high quality eggs.
I only buy organic, cage-free eggs just in case. I eat them raw all the time with rice and never got sick.

>>11711914
Depends on how busy you are/if you have a wife at home I guess.

>>11711962

>implying japanese women would cook for you

not happening

>>11711966
I mean a wife 'at home', not just a wife.

Is it really miso? I thought it was tonkotsu. I wanna try it when i go to japan next summer!

Has anyone ever tried sashimi? It's just a raw fish, I don't even know why they call it Japanese food.

>>11712026
Nope. I like it with vinegared rice but plain it's just too... plain.

>>11712026
I like it, but it's hard to explain why I like it.

Actually, it depends on the class of restaurants where you eat. Low-mid class restaurants are usually cheaper in Japan than in NA.

You suffer from taste disorder.

>>11701611
Japanese mayo tastes completely different than what most westerners are used to. Less acidic, more umami.

>>11701632
>>11701635
Mitarashi maybe? I've made it and it tastes more or less identical to the unagi sauces i've bought. Add a little mirin to a mitarashi recipe, and you should be close.

>>11712026
Nice taste, but only when it's really fresh. I don't like taking it with rice. The fish has a sweet taste.

>>11701445
Shitake?

Most of the food posted here seems to have quite a bit of meat in it. Is it hard to be a vegetarian in Japan?

>>11723530
I'd imagine its a little bit easier compared to other places, honestly. Getting away from fish would be the hard part, but I hear most dishes don't have a lot of pork or beef.

>>11723519

Just got back to my house in Japan after a semester in Dumbfuckistan yesterday. I ate a god damn assload of miso soup, rice, sushi and oyster fries and pork cutlets.

I do miss my guns though.

>>11701437
Man, I hate mushrooms. I love Japanese food otherwise (out of the stuff I've tried, anyway) but I wish they didn't use mushrooms on everything.

>>11713482
I see raw fish, plain rice, probably unseasoned tempura, some kind of pickled shit, and salty soup. where's the flavor?

>>11731932
Sashimi is had with soy sauce and wasabi. Raw fish also has taste.

Plain rice is the base retard.

The tempura is dipped in the sauce seen in the small bowl beneath the tempura plate. It tastes great even without it.

>Pickled shit
Kill yourself

>Salty soup

>>11733967

I hoped to get more images for my wallpaper folder. Ah well.

>>11750684
dipping things in egg yolk is the best thing ever

>>11750706

Oh hell yes. I'll even do it with American eggs. No salmonella yet (not that salmonella's all that dangerous). The white isn't bad either, but it's just for mouthfeel; the yolk's where it's at.

A soft boiled egg with natto and natto sauce and mustard is wonderful because of the yolk.

>>11701515
>It's weird because they're all so skinny too.

Probably because it's their one large meal of the day.

>>11712026

Salmon - My favorite, it has a strong flavor and texturally has a nice "bite" to it.

Tuna - A subtle tuna flavor (very different from canned) with a dense and hearty texture.

Fatty Tuna - It literally melts in your mouth.

Eel - Another favorite. It's actually served barbecued instead of raw. Typically coated with a sweet barbecue sauce. Buttery in texture, highly fatty, sometimes with tiny bones that are easy to eat.

Salmon Roe - Each bite is hugely satisfying, the eggs pop in your mouth and release a burst of liquid that tastes like fish and the sea.

Egg - It might seem lame at first, but the sweet flavor and soft texture make for an excellent accompaniment to Eel or Salmon Roe.

Herring - Ridiculously strong flavor with a bitter aftertaste. Chase it with something sweet, like Eel.

Squid - Texturally fantastic; the flesh is chewy yet has a lot of "give." Unique, subtle taste.

Octopus - Surprisingly strong-flavored, extremely chewy.

>>11733309
>soy sauce and wasabi
woah slow down there buddy or you might have a flavor overload.

Eel sounds good. I love octopus, the texture to me is like if chicken were a fish.

>>11701631

Holy fuck I miss eating this.

I have to say, though, that my favorite Japanese food was Shabu Shabu. Holy fuck it's delicious.

>>11712026

I absolutely loved it while I was there. Yellowtail was my favorite.

I occasionally got teased by my friends or family about how I preferred to eat sashimi without any wasabi. Apparently, sashimi without any wasabi is how it's served to children, so they would call me a child. Maybe it was sushi, not wasabi, but it was like five or six years ago and I'm tired.

Why do Japanese and Asians in general like cabbage so much? It's like they never use lettuce.

>>11806078

If I ever go to Japan the first thing I must eat is Tonkatsu from somewhere.

>>11808368
>Tenderize pork loin
>Season both sides
>Flour, egg wash, breadcrumbs
>Fry

It's that easy, whether or not a japanese person makes it for you isn't going to make it magically taste better. In fact most Japanese dishes (with the exception of stuff like Sushi which takes training or Takoyaki which requires special tools) can be made by anyone with some decent competence in cooking. Just pick up some of the more exotic ingredients at your local asian mart and you're good to go.

>>11808431
>>Fry
>It's that easy,

Tons of people can't fry stuff correctly. It's not as easy as you'd think.

Cup noodles are a type of Japanese food right? What brand do you guys recommend?

>>11808470
You set oil to a specific temperature, put your food in the fryer, and move it a little so it fries evenly. Remove when golden brown.

It's not difficult at all, just takes a little getting used to, also tonkatsu only needs to be fried once. Fries are harder to make than that.

>>11808506
There are people who try to fry stuff in extra virgin olive oil, or burn the outside and leave the inside raw, or on the other side have the oil too low so the food becomes greasy, or people who overcook their meat entirely.

>>11808516
Well notice I did mention "decent competence" in cooking. Still, that doesn't mean you need to be a 3-star michelin Chef or anything close. All I'm saying is anyone who can follow relatively simple directions properly can make tonkatsu among a variety of japanese dishes in their own kitchen without needing to go to Japan or a restaurant.

>>11808368
Try to keep your raging weeb under control. It's just a breaded pork chop.

When you guys go to cheap Japanese places and they offer miso soup or soda for free what do you choose? I always go with the soup.

>>11808613
Soda. Miso soup has all the taste and fragrance of footbath water.

>>11808618
Soda is really unhealthy. Having a cold in the winter is one of the worst things ever and nothing is better than having a nice warm bowl of soup. Does that can of Pepsi with 120 calories and like 50 grams of sugar make you feel better about yourself?

>>11808613
Depends, during the summer a cold soda is great to have, while in the winter some soup always warms you up.

>>11808613

Green tea.

>>11808621
How is soda unhealthy?

>>11808624
Joes Green Tea is my stuff. I usually grab a bottle before I head to work or if possible go to a tea shop and get it freshly made.

>>11808632
Is every thread you post in just a vehicle for you to talk about yourself?

>>11808633
I am just making conversation in a thread, I don't see what is wrong. This thread is about Japanese food and I believe tea falls under the topic of discussion.

>>11808640
All your posts are pretty much about how great your job is or your trips to and from work or how great New York City is, sometimes with something vaguely on-topic thrown in.

Can you ladies go have a meta-bitchfight on ghost or something?

>>11808658
I see so the news has not been around in /jp/ yet

You see /ghost/... has finally found its peace.

Tonkatsu is hardly representative of "Japanese cuisine."

Also, there's really no comparison of Japanese cuisine with other methods of cooking. The heart of traditional Japanese cuisine is the dashi, which takes less than an hour to make, including preparation.

Chinese cuisine on the other hand, relies heavily on its stock. Chinese stock making is a day-long ordeal. Ramen, which takes over a day to make, is Chinese in origin, not Japanese.

Help me /jp/ I want to make Omurice but Japanese rice is really hard to come by here, would any shortgrain rice or even some sushirice be acceptable in it's place?

>>11808837

Even restaurants in Japan use Calrose rice.

This is how retarded you sound right now.

>>11808721
>is Chinese in origin, not Japanese.
This is ends up pretty funny sometimes, since Chinese people all think it's Japanese and Japanese people all think it's Chinese.

Well the Japs are right in this case.

American here. How is this possible? I've seen it super crowded, but even with a whole bunch of people sitting down in there they are going to leave pretty quickly and the line moves moderately fast even when it's long so by the time you order/get your food some tables can open up if you need to eat in the place?

>>11808431
Some use grated yamaimo (dioscorea, Chinese yam) to make it even more fluffy also.

>>11809140
B..B..BU...BUT NANKING MASSACRE!!!!!

>>11812704
Maybe there are less of the restaurants, or aren't meant to fit as many people as the US ones. IIRC the French McDonald's (or maybe it was Starbucks) restaurants don't hold as many people as their American counterparts, instead opting to make the dining experience nicer by using more spacious designs and comfortable seating. The US ones I've been in are all mostly hard plastic benches wall to wall with a handful of tables. They remind me of a cafeteria.

Alternatively, there could have been a sale or serious lunch/dinner rush or something.

Don't rain on my parade I want that to be a tradition to my visits to Japan.
A bunch of Tonkatsu and a Puro show

>>11819248
>Puro show

Fuck that. See if Antonio Inoki is still doing his Outsiders events. It was basically yakuza vs amateur fighters in MMA matches (shoot matches for you puro weebs)

>>11819253
>Anything booked by Antonio Inoki
No thanks.
If I wanted to see a train wreck I'll watch video of his NJPW events.

Just because Japanese eat raw eggs, It is very dangerous to eat eggs raw which sold in your country.
The eggs sold in Japan are performed quality control of to be able to eat raw.

>>11822171
Part of it is that you need to make sure they are very very fresh so that you can refrigerate them ASAP. All eggs come into the world with a little but harmless amount of salmonella in them, and it grows once they get under a certain temperature. I would not trust the eggs here in the US, someone's going to not take the temperature thing seriously somewhere along the line and seriously mess it up.

I wish it was better here, I want to be able to use raw eggs for dipping with my hot pot meals...

>>11822199
>under a certain temperature
Over. Shit. When they're not cold anymore.

>>11822199
There is a new pasteurization technique that kills off all the bacteria in the egg. If you get eggs that use it, you can eat them raw with no problem.

In the old days, in Japan, production date was printed to foods.
but the printing of the production date was prohibited,
and printing of the best-before date was require by interference
in domestic affairs from USA(for the reason why the printing
of the production date is disadvantageous to import goods during
the Clinton administration).
Until then, Japanese people judged by production date whether
it would be possible to eat the egg row.
Therefore It is set to be able to eat row for around two weeks
from born as the best-before date of the egg.

>>11822199
I've eaten raw eggs here in the US for over 15 years, never once been sick. I'm usually putting it directly on some rice, or at the bottom of a pint.

>>11822171
>>11822199
>>11822590
I've been eating raw US eggs too for several years.
I buy cage-free organic eggs just in case though.

>>11822704
wtf, crackers?

>>11822709
I guess they ran out of ideas for wheels. Also, 3000 yen each.

I'm planning to have chicken fillet with rice for dinner tonight. What's a good sauce I can use on it? I want something sweet and/or salty, and my usual honey + soy sauce isn't cutting it anymore.

>>11822764
obvious answer would be tonkatsu sauce

>>11822764
Ranch...

>>11822770
I don't have that, but I found a recipe for it using soy sauce and ketchup. That's so crazy it might just work.

Japanese birds eating freedom fries

>>11822704
what are those flags? left dish is containing detergent and right one is poisoned wwwwwww

>>11827222
Right flag is the school emblem for Kuromorimine Girls High School in the anime GIRLS und PANZER.

Everything my Japanese professor made for my class had katsobushi and seaweed flakes sprinkled on it... I wasn't the biggest fan

Foods imported from Portugal in the 16th century:

Tempura — so thoroughly adopted that its foreign roots are unknown to most people, including many Japanese. As such, it is considered washoku (和食, native food).
castella — sponge cake, originating in Nagasaki
Pan — bread, introduced by Portugal. (bread is pão in Portuguese.) Japanese bread crumbs, panko, have been popularized by cooking shows.

REMINDER THAT THE JAPANESE ONLY HAVE BREAD THANKS TO PORTUGAL.

>>11828271
do people like katsobushi? I feel like the fish taste is overpowering

I'm making my first attempt at Japanese food and I'm trying to make Okonomiyaki. One of the ingredients is supposedly okonomiyaki sauce. I couldn't find this in a "Japanese" supermarket nor could I find it in any other. Is this an essential ingredient? Is there a more common English name for it?

Not exactly unusual here. Thread is over a month old.

Chankonabe is a hot pot dish eaten by sumo wrestlers
And many retired sumo wrestlers going to open a chankonabe restaurant

what is tonkotsu like? I decided I was going to make chicken a fried pork chop for dinner. I think I'm going to eat it with country gravy instead of brown sauce though.

>>11831194
I've seen it at the super h mart if you have one of those nearby.

taiyaki

>>11831194
It's Otafuku/Okonomi Sauce. You can get it easily online from places like amazon.

There are recipes for homemade version as well, not sure how well it would taste though.

>>11709123
I hate you. I tried this, trusting your claim that it's not as disgusting as it sounds.

It was fucking horrible. Had to throw it away after taking one bite.

>>11822704
It is the symbol of kids' lunches to put up a flag in Japan.

>>11832217
You did try it with Japanese short grain rice right? It would be shit otherwise.

Yellowtail belly and back
THE best sushi I've ever had in my entire life
The place is a tiny 10-seat hole in the wall in Los Angeles
The dude was a chef in Japan for 30 years before relocating to the US

Where do you get fish that's safe to use for sushi in the U.S.?

>>11833410
Go sensei's sushi?
No wait that's San Fernando Valley I think...

>>11833410
The salmon was the second best thing there
Everything's served Omakase

Scallop
There's a bunch of other pictures I have if you want to see a specific kind of fish
Meal was 16 plates

>>11833428
Definitely go there dude if you live in Los Angeles
I've been to 50+ places and that one was amazing
The 100 dollar hole in your wallet is worth it

>>11833435
>$100 for a meal of raw fish
I see that after then yen carry trade collapsed, the Japanese found a new way to con money from Americans.

>>11833435
Yeah I do live near LA. Any others you'd recommend that are a bit cheaper though? Nabeeya looks good...

>>11833419
What is that on top of the salmon? Also I'm massively jealous because all we have here are shitholes run by Vietnamese

Do you guys have any entry-level food you'd recommend?

>feel when eating hambugah and you guy aren't

>feel when illiterate and you guy aren't

Japanese women like yaki imo (baked sweet potato) very much.

I tried making katsudon today.

It's hard to make it look as good as in the pictures I've seen, but it was still very tasty.

>>11837820
Purple yam is superior.
