Is that carbonara with an egg yolk on top? Delicious dude, I made something similar in class recently.

Best ramen ever

Ohhh! Katsu burger!

Homemade Udon noodles.

Good morning.
Natto is delicious.

>>12614182
I see what you did there...

>>12614182

>>12614187
>those perfectly round buns
Damn, wish I could try that here in burgerland.

>>12620001
That looks disgusting. The quality of the spaghetti looks cheap, they're overcooked, even the damn weiner has an even lower quality of the industrial ones that tend to put bones on their mixture.
0/10 I'd rather starve.

>>12625197
Just go to a restaurant instead of a shitty fastfood chain. Or you can even make the burg yourself, you'll spend around 3 bucks per burg that way.

>>12619613
Those look really well done if you made and cut the noodles yourself. 9/10.

I'm so hungry for some food, man..

I ain't got no fucking job..

>>12626356

Who the fuck is Kevin Bacon?

I just want to take it easy and eat when I'm hungry, dude.

Fuck this gay earth.

Pumpkin bread.

Please share your recipe dude. What's your favorite kind of rice? I like to use medium grain sakura rice.

>>12613561
Where is the subs? I don't speak chinese

Fucking gooks just can't into bread for fuck's sake.

>>12625197
I bought the pulled pork from Wendy's last night and the bun is exactly like the one in the picture you quoted: browned just right, round, and has a little bit of crunch as well.

Happy Halloween For Maria

>>12628997
Quail eggs are yummy

>>12622029
>>12613561

Do you just crack the egg yolk on top when it's done, or what?

>>12629083
In a proper carbonara you crack the egg as soon you take out the pasta and it's still hot, then the egg will cook itself but not too much so you'll have a really good sauce emphatized by the salty flavour of the guanciale and pepper. The pasta must not be piping hot because the egg will become scrabled.

>>12629083
Well, you'd have to separate the yolk and white before you drop it, of course.

Furikake rice.

I didn't get this in Japan but I want to post it anyways because it was delicious.

Gomen nasai.

>>12633377
Solid noodles and the soup which have high transmissivity. It looks very delicious.

This is pretty nice

>>12633887
Looks good. Your wasabi is so fancy!

>>12633887

Green soba?

>>12633955
Cyasoba.
It is soba of green tea flavor. They are very tasty.

>>12633981

Kawagoe has purple potato udon. It looks strange, but is good.

>>12633995
Thank you very much for your advice. I did not know it.
I go there and want to eat it.

>>12635464
Unagi is my favorite. I hope one day I can taste fresh smoked eel, instead of having it frozen dozens of times and shipped overseas.

>>12635488

Grilled, not smoked. Its not really that hard either, you just need eel, teriyaki sauce, spices, and a way to grill it, preferably outdoors, since you need to grill it with the skin on, it will stink like nothing else.

Prepare the the fillet exactly like kurokiba did, and grill.

>>12613554

How do I prepare iced oolong?
Do I need to infuse it in hot/boiled water, cooling it afterwards, or can I just infuse it in cold water?
If so, how long for?

I find it really funny that western countries often think of "many small-dish" meals as hospital food.

Keep posting, these meals look delicious.

>landlocked place
damn son, im sorry

>>12635488

honestly, I don't even like it. Too oily.

But if you do come to Japan, there's lots of famous unagi shops.

>>12636292

I'd say try it in one liter batches both ways and see which one you like. Iced Oolong tea isn't exactly rocket surgery.

Living in Japan, I've never see anyone actually make it. They just buy it in a bottle or from a soda fountain.

I envy Japanese food culture. Especially since my own country has no real food culture to speak of.

Also, all them Japanese people constantly posting food photos on Twitter.

Seems like a lot of japanese food contains meat in it. Are vegetarian dishes popular in japan? What would you recommend?

>>12641082
>Are vegetarian dishes popular in japan?
No, they're not. Just about every dish will have some kind of meat or fish product in it somewhere.

what should i get at teriyaki places

Is that fish cake on the top right?

>>12642715
Yes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satsuma_age

Dorayaki (chestnut flavor and apple flavor).

Is anyone vegetarian? If I ever get the chance to go to Japan I think I'll give up my veganism while I'm there so I can have delicious bread and pastries. I won't ever eat meat but having fish flakes while eating out is probably unavoidable.

>>12643095
I'm... close to being a vegetarian. In most instances, I don't eat meat (I make exceptions for gyoza, mapo tofu, and the occasional chicken breast), but I also don't have qualms with meat or meat products being in my food - I just pick around it. If you can do that, you ought to be OK. If not, it's a rough road.

>>12636534

What soups are those?

Some of them look like miso but with some other ingredients?

I just had tempura udon for dinner in osaka and it was delicious, beer was 240 yen on draft. Leaving tomorrow after two months but my favorite meal was at a ramen place in ito, beef/pepper/butter corn ramen

I have a lot of food pictures if anyone is interested, but I usually just eat at yoshinoya or a konbini

>>12643772

What's with the cheap eats? Budget?

>>12643793

To give you an idea, I was going to stay for my entire tourist visa allowance, but I'm going home after two months. Basically, I spent too much in akiba and den den town. The cheapest meal here will cost you ~400 yen and I usually stayed between 400 and 1000, but that's on a backpacker's budget

>>12643731
They all look like variants of miso soup. >>12642143 looks like tonjiru specifically (I make it all the time), but even that is just a miso soup with pork, tofu, konnyaku and vegetables.

>>12643731
Those are miso soup.

>>12640720
Potato and green onions.

>>12643402
Cabbage and usu-age (thin deep-fried tofu).

>>12637098
Fu 麩, wakame and green onions.

>>12636534
Silken tofu and green onions.

>>12636534
>>12637098
Is this a hospital diet?

When I was in Japan, I remember going into a ramen bar.

They explained in fractured English, and I did my best to understand them, that you purchased a meal ticket at the machine by the door. Then you go and place your order. You could order between 200 and 800g of noodles, and the two drinks were beer and cola. I had 300g, the man next to me had what looked like 800g, and finished faster than me. It was excellent.

>>12645306

>>12642569
that looks like hong kong
not complaining tho

how much would a set like that even cost

>>12643868
>entire tourist visa allowance

How much is that exactly?

Actually why would they limit money or make an allowance on how much you can spend on a tourist visa? Sounds counterproductive to all those involved if you ask me.

So your accommodation was backpacker's hostel? What was that like? Costs?

>>12646145
He didn't mean an allowance of money, but an allowance of time - that is, the duration of his tourist visa.

>>12646169
>that is, the duration of his tourist visa.

Which is?

>>12645423
Do they starve patients there? Is this for getting rid of the weak and the old?

>>12613561
Is that some fucking pesto?

How do you even live on these tiny quantities of food? No wonder nips are short

>>12646691
You gotta learn to accept what you have.
That or you just gotta step up your game and make these dishes, failing horribly and ending up with a horrible, wasted dinner.

>>12642687

The off voice sounds so much like 1940-50 propaganda it's hard to look at.

>>12646004
Wait, your supposed to eat that?
How can you eat something that cute?

>>12651168
I think that there is the cute food in country of any place.
This is a European style.

>>12651168
However, I admit that a Japanese goes too far.

>>12651168
I would never eat that. It looks like it'll claw its way out of your stomach, or burst into hundreds of leeches to drill into your innards.

There's no way that bloated monster is filled with cream and sponge cake.

For scientific purposes, can anyone give me the link to that youtube video with the frog sushi? You know, THAT frog sushi.

Either a curry sauce or a demi glaze sauce.

>>12669946
Shabu shabu is delicious and healthy, I don't know what you're talking about. Get some veggies, boil them until they're just done, dip them in some ponzu and enjoy. I eat it often.

Can someone describe the flavor of natto.

What's it like, /jp/? Am I missing out on much?

>>12685331
No, it's hard as fuck.
I don't know what's more embarrassing, asking for a fork to eat sushi (I've never done this, by the way) or taking a solid minute trying to cut a piece off and carefully bringing it closer to your facehole while enduring all of the Asian staff じ～～-ing at you

>>12685367
I've been told that eating sushi with your fingers is alright, but not sashimi.
What about for ramen and such, how should I eat that without looking like a dickwad? Or am I automatically a dickwad due to having less fingers?

>>12685409
It depends. I'm going to assume you're still relatively young. You can either: face the facts and accept that life isn't fair and that there are things you'll never be able to do, no matter how hard you want to.
Or, you can be like me, and say "Nah, fuck that, I'm a sick cunt" and you figure out a way to do those things anyway, even if it's hard, even if other people think you can't, you find a way, and you make it happen. Until you find something you're actually physically incapable of doing, no matter how hard you try, and then that sucks and it really destroys your soul.

tl;dr - fuck it, i dont know. get a pair of chopsticks from the supermarket and practice at home or something

When you make so many different small dishes, what do you do with all the leftover ingredients?

I only make one or two dishes, and even then, I have to make the same dish every day or else the food will spoil. However, I am cooking for one. Maybe it is different for families?

After being to japan once and experiencing how good the rice tastes, I couldn't get myself to eat rice at home anymore. What is the trick to make rice taste that good? Do I absolutely need a rice cooker?

Picture is unagi on rice in a restaurant complex near akiba.

>>12703745
Splash of vinegar

>>12703745
Yes, you need a good rice cooker
I recommend zojirushi
Also, get a large bag of premium rice

>>12703745
One cannot fuck up cooking rice. It is plain, simple, easy, and always the same as a base. But one can fuck up "cooking" rice.
It's one of those things you just do, and it just gets done right. But you're not doing that.

>>12703784
I don't think you know what you're talking about

>>12703780
Those zujirushi rice cookers are expensive, can't really afford one. I try to get a decent one for christmas.
>>12703760
Do I just add the vinegar after cooking?

>>12703022
If you're cooking for several people, it's easy to split it up into small portions for each person. Some people also use the leftovers to pack bentos for their spouses or children.

>>12703745

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UakieCoLvM

Can somebody tell me how jp's eat small portions and don't feel hunger?

>>12710854
Eat less, more often. Hunger isn't something you should want to avoid, anyway. If you don't eat what your body is asking for, you won't feel satiated no matter how much you eat. Just don't feel so hungry that you start to feel weak.

>>12710863
I try to eat less, but after I eat 20minutes later my stomach feels like it ate nothing and kinda wants me to eat more.

>>12710854
Adopting the mindset that people don't actually need anything except ETHER to survive. That includes food and drink and it is how breatharians survive. Personally I'm not there yet. What really helps as a bridge between normalcy and that kind of "diet" is the feedback from my body, both in how I feel and how I look.

The first step you could take is to eliminate junk food. Start with one thing at a time. It's all plastic food specifically manufactured to be addictive and the human body doesn't appreciate it.

>>12710870
Drink more water. A lot more. Drink a full glass before a meal. Whenever you drink anything other than water, drink a glass of water first. The first time you feel hungry after eating, down another glass. Also, eat more fiber.

>>12710915
I don't really like junk food and I rarely eat it.

>>12710932
Weird since I usually do drink a lot of water. Guess drink more?

>>12642673
you're a fagot
>17 years old
>bottled 2012

>>12710870
You do have to endure it for a short while if you're used to eating more.
Your body should adjust to smaller amounts of food, though.

>>12710854
Personally what I do is cook enough for two or three portions. If I make a pizza, I always eat half of it straight away and then munch on the rest piece by piece over the course of the afternoon.
When I'm at work, I do one snack at a regular break and a lunch that doesn't fill me up completely, but enough to not be hungry.
It helps to have something to do at work as well or at home to keep yourself occupied so you never really think about eating until you feel hungry.

>>12711273
Ah guess i'll try to ignore the hunger then.

>>12711437
I don't really snack on anything, but guess I should try eating fiber bars or something
