Bland food general.

>>9612430
Could you actually post a more boring thread?

>>9612453
Something about your life?

I thought we killed off these shit threads years ago?
Some weeb reposting google images is just lame.

>>9612458
Based on my ability to read, Japanese food.

don't pay attention to those asshats
post more jap food pics

don't these guys just eat like rice and grass lol?

>tfw no agepan where i live

>>9612445
What's wrong with that. Fish is tasty. In my country we eat grilled fish with bread and grilled salad and olive oil

Way to post the most boring looking Japanese meal ever.

I missed these threads unironically

You have good taste anon.

>>9613723
That guy was a shit poster.
All his pics were just google grabs from nip restaurant websites.
Waste of time.

>>9612430

This is exactly what my host family had for breakfast every day when I was there.

This is the place next door to me.

>>9614335
Nice muscle definition on that flabby ass forearm, girl.

>>9612430
This has to have the best preparation time & effort to taste & nutrition ratio in the entire culinary world. I make it with brown rice

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2016/04/tamago-kake-gohan-egg-rice-tkg-recipe-breakfast.html

>>9614501
why in the fuck would those things be in a ratio when comparing different foods
jesus christ someone make it stop

>tfw get to eat delicious Japanese food everyday
Feels good living here.

>>9614546
what's cost of food per month for you?

>>9614501
this shit is disgusting, guarantee it this was some Ethiopian dish none of you people creaming your pants over it would bother with it, but because you saw it on some anime...

>>9614560
jap food is disgusting but i watch a lots of anime and i haven't once seen that shit. except for like one movie which was garbage.

>>9614546
*tips fedora*

>>9614560
>Ethiopian dish
eww fucking gross.

>>9614552
About $300. I splurged on the Eel since its Saturday. Normally I would just get a small meat dish and eat it with rice I cook myself. Sides are also cheep you can get like a 1 gallon jug of daicon radish for like $3. Overall a dish similar to this cost me $1.50.

>>9614560
I've only had Ethiopian 3 or 4 times, but it was always tasty. Never anything super visually appealing, but delicious!

>>9614522
All I meant is it's super easy and fast to make compared to how nutritious and tasty it is.

>>9614560
I posted that and I've never watched anime in my entire life. It's actually very tasty you can play around and add different seeds or spring onion and other greens etc.

>>9614546
>eel
Fuck yeah

bland as fuck

>>9612455
what am I looking at here

>>9612445
rice and fish, fish and rice, the list goes on

Food pics from Japan?

Onigiri (rice ball).

Grilled rice ball with chestnut.

>>9612564
rice is grass

"NikuJaga" Home cooking. It is not offered at the restaurant. It is rare in pubs.
There is a theory that Irish stew is prototype. Truth is unknown.
Simmered beef and potatoes. Other materials are different for every family, there is no fixed form.
There is a legend that women who can cook delicious NikuJaga can marry. Typical home cooking in Japan.

Anyone able to identify the knive brand?

They were bought as gifts, the boxes were bland and the text on them doesn’t give much away.

I like the look and they hold an edge reasonably well.

Ate this in a town called 'Kashiwazaki' in Niigata prefecture

>>9614501
When I lived in Tokyo for five years working as an animator for a well known studio this was my breakfast most days.

Chicken sashimi i ate in an inzakaya

>>9617190

>>9617203
They prob freezed the meat to kill parasites. Its fine.

>>9617190

How's the texture? I know the meat is safe because the chickens are raised in much better conditions than your typical American farm, but undercooked chicken is always shit texture and taste wise.

>>9612430
That looks like Yayoiken.

>>9617248
Yeah i mean i ate like half the plate and didn't die and the dish is everywhere so clearly they have figured out how to make it safely.

The texture was pretty nice in my opinion actually.
it was kind of like raw, lean fish.
soft, but with a bit of resistance like tuna or swordfish.

I ate this wagyu 'gyu-katsu' in Shinjuku, Tokyo. It's essentially a breaded and fried steak.

It was fucking delicious

>>9617268
Japan has an obsession with cabbage, I love it.

This was a raw aji tatare.
Aji is called horse mackerel in English.
Its kind of like a sardine/mackerel

This is an 'omu-rice' with a beef demi-glace sauce i ate in a family restaurant. Like a Japanese Denny's

I lived in japan for a few years. I miss being japanese versions of chinese food and being able to get good ass box lunches from Lawson whenever I want. Also, just Tokyo in general is crazy and fun as hell.

This was a pork tonkotsu ramen, it was delicious as fuck and so rich.

¥460 for breakfast

This was a sardine and pork based broth ramen

You've never had Ethiopian food. but then again, neither have Ethiopians.

>>9617290
What kind of sausages are those?

>>9617366
Veal usually.

>>9617382
Nice, looks pretty good.

>>9617382
no. what KIND OF SAUSAGE IS IT???

>>9617422
Schau Essen

Sukiyaki

Meat, vegetables, mushrooms, noodles and tofu cooked in a shallow pan in about a centimeter of a sauce (soy, sugar, and mirin).

Once cooked, you transfer the cooked food to a small bowl with a lightly beaten raw egg, and then you eat the eggy, soft food.

>>9617578

>>9617578
That's not Sukiyaki.
Nothing like.

Very popular here.

>>9617585
There's certainly different regional preparations of it, either different meats, different sauce ingredients or a lack or sauce altogether, and different vegetables and whatnot. Some people use fish sauce, some people just use water. Some people forego the egg.

But, I fail to see how what was posted isn't sukiyaki.

Shabu shabu is the only thing that could be similar enough to it to be confused, but it is not the case with me.

>>9614546
>gun

excuse me? guns are banned in japan

>>9612482
That looks fucking delicious.

>>9617747

have some japanese food for you
thought about going to a sushi bar soon for the first time. any input?

>>9612455
>tfw so poor you have to eat sliced ice for dinner

>>9617345
yawn

>>9616974
mapo and gyoza are chinese though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dn88LiPOKMc

>>9618093
Gyoza are clearly Japanese

>>9618117
It's Chinese

>>9618117
>pronouncing 餃 as gyo and not ame
>pronouncing 子 as za and not ko/me/maybe mi
fampai even the name is recent chinese.
the dish itself is like chow mein in the us, it went from unheard of to super-popular after ww2 and is now cooked and eaten in a way that has little to do with whatever chinese recipe it may have been based on, so it's hard to call it either chinese or local.

incidentally, you can probably trace a fair amount of american """chinese""" to japanese """chinese""". things like whether gyoza is a side or an entree, or when you add egg while making fried rice, were adaptions that ended up getting either exported to or reinvented in the us.

>>9618113
noice vid mate

>>9618170
also, as someone who's spent time in both countries, japan treats gyoza restaurants as chinese and they often branch into things like egg rolls, fried rice, stirfry, mapo, etc. meanwhile china treats (japanese style with distinctions like rice as a side, garlic used to flavor pork, etc) gyoza restaurants as japanese and they often branch out into things like sushi.

>>9617289
How thick do you order the noodles? I get them pretty thicc and it's delicious with the broth. Hearty meal.

tsukemen from rokurinsha

>>9612430
I remember getting a similar fish set in a small restaurant in Kamakura. Got a big piece of grilled salmon. That was pretty good

>>9612434
Japanese food is not even remotely bland you fucking peasant.

>>9618702
those noodles look really fucking good for some reason

>>9619504
begone weeb

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geZWL_gE-Ak

>>9612430
In a dish like that, are you supposed to eat the skin? I spent 3 weeks in japan and avoided ordering anything like that just because I didn't know and didn't want to make of a fool out of myself.

>>9619618
The nu-male and nu-roastie are annoying but the restaurant looks nice

here you go

Made tonkatsu this weekend. Was pretty good, man

>>9619551
I genuinely believe simple things like noodles alone are fantastic

>>9612430
If I didn't know any better, I'd say you ate at the same breakfast place I ate at in Sapporo.

>>9614546
lets see your programming socks.

Healthy bento, I think it cost me $5

>>9620763
>soggy fried tempura
>healthy

>>9618170
Chowmein is a bad example because it literally means fried noodles in chinese. That's as generic a name as you can possible get - there is no original "recipe" for it.

Also another odd distinction is that although Gyoza is 餃子, Gyoza tend to be fried (though it can refer to both?), the Chinese tend to use 餃子 to refer to the non-fried versions and 锅贴 (literally stick-to-pan or "potsticker") to refer to the fried ones.

>>9618072
that's thin sliced fish

>>9620313
Thank you so much anon

https://youtu.be/Ptz12zG6nPE

Best cooking video I've seen in ages

>>9612430
I wonder, how are you supposed to eat the whole fish with chopsticks? Is there some method to it or do you just take tiny chunks and take forever? I've pretty much always had fillets, but home preparation is just frying it as a whole. Maybe do a butterfly cut.

>>9620641
Noodles are great once you actually get into all the types that are out there. Sadly so many people just think sauce and other ingredients are real stars and pasta is just there as filler. It's why couple of people I took to basic dishes like su udon didn't get it.

>>9621306
such a shame kobe beef became a meme at this point. if you're in japan try japanese food proper.

Tonkatsu

>>9614790
As far as I can tell, it's fugu (blowfish) sashimi on the left, some other kind of braised fish and some daikon radish in the back, and octopus sashimi on the right.

>>9620407
Is that cabbage salad or daikon? I always have respect for how japanese master delicate flavors. Harder than many people think.

>>9621626
in most cases japanese use lighter napa cabbage

>>9619618
>>9621306
Something that annoyed me to no end at first is the fact Japanese by default don't like crust on their pan-friend meat and almost all meat places I went to you had chefs constantly fiddling with the meat so it doesn't form crust. Now, I can forgive cutting the meat before it gets to my plate seeing as you have chopsticks to work with, but no seared crust on a superb steak? Nope.

>>9621663
yep, look at how shit the sear is on this steak i ate at a 'New-York' style steakhouse in Japan

>>9612430

Honestly going to try making this soon. Nip food is 10/10, and I want to eat more protein and less sugar-corn for breakfast. tfw you will never live in nippon. Gonna be:
>seared whole fish
>miso soup with lotsa scallion
>rice with shoyu
>sliced cucumber
>tomato

Made okonomiyaki, it was okay but not great, still better than ameri-pizza. Made kabocha nimono, it was alright. Tempura is always great, sweet potato a best, and I learned to cut the shrimp to get it long. Left shell on, ate whole shrimp. It was good.

>>9620407

keep crying faggot

Cool thread.

>>9625150
thanks bro

I went to Tokyo for the first time in December last year, and I ate fucking fast food 90% of the time. I went to Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Hiroshima and all I fucking ate was McDonalds, Burger King, and Wendy's. It wasn't until the last week in Japan that I was in Tokyo and tried out some ramen places. God do I fucking regret that decision. Still managed to lose weight cause of all the walking tho.

Anyways, I'm going back to Tokyo soon. Please recommend me some good food that I should eat while I'm there. I ate at a yakiniku, it was really nice, definitely gonna try it again.

>>9617747
I went to Akiba last spring and going to miscellaneous airsoft bars was hilarious. Dudes would gear up in the elevator and reception to look tacticool for the range.

I wish I could give nips guns. They would love it.

>>9625358
Just go to all the Japanese fast food this time. It's ubiquitous and usually foreigner friendly. I didn't know what the fuck I was doing with some of the smaller shops with ticket machines, but everyone is friendly enough, of course.

>>9625358
Fuck america.

>>9625358
What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>9625395
I had Mos Burger once, that was really nice too.

>>9625399
Fuck you too, buddy.

>>9625435
I don't know, anon. I guess I was just scared of Japanese food at the time. I'm not really into seafood, and didn't realize just how much more than seafood cuisine Japan had to offer until my last week there, and by then it was already too late to try much.

>>9625445
I was just fearful of being a fucking sperg. Pretty sure I embarrassed my friends constantly when we went drinking, but I was too drunk to give a fuck.

Do some nomihodai or whatever shit if you can Nihongo or have some Jap friends to latch onto. All you can drink for a couple hours with a couple of courses of food for pretty competitive price. Then you can stumble around and feel free to vomit outside a police box like a real Japanese faggot.

For a country where almost nobody knows what a vegan is, Japan easily has the best vegan food.

>>9616573
theyll go off soon.

>>9617169
too much rice

>>9625715
name 10 japanese vegan foods

>>9624061

>>9619872
I also enjoy Korean food. My stomach is a bit sensitive, so the spiciness can upset it, but I still really enjoy the flavors that they use. Things taste crisp and fresh often.

Lived in Japan for 10 years. God this thread makes me miss their food.
Also spicy ramen is best ramen

>>9618070
>a quarter of the video is just watching eels chuck themselves around

>>9619504
how ironic how japanese food actually is for peasants

>>9614546
>>9614744
>fatty garbage

no thanks

>>9629419
is that tartar sauce on the far left?

>>9613743
Nothing wrong with that

>>9625358
Just go with people and eat at places, I'm heading back to japan in december and I'm making a list of stuff to eat using websites like tablelog.

>>9612430
You need to eat some real sushi!

>>9612430
What are your thoughts on sushi made with quinoa instead of rice?

>>9629560
Cool.
Remember to make a vlog as well you weeaboo faggot.

>>9626356
>liking spicy ramen
>not preferring spicy ramyun

>>9629614

I'm as weeb as the next weeb but KOR noodles > JAP noodles especially spicy. The spicier the better

>>9625358
Please eat "Classic cheese bugger" with "Freshness Burger".
It's expensive, but it's worth it.
It is the best hamburger in Japan's fast food chain.

>>9629695
Just looked it up and these look great, definitely gonna try it out when I'm in Tokyo.

Do you recommend a specific store to go to, cause there seems to be a lot of them scattered throughout Tokyo and all have great reviews. Or should I just go into whichever one I see first?

>>9629756
There is a shop where I eat a lot. But it is not a difference in taste, but due to convenience.
I have never felt the difference in taste at other stores.
I believe freshness burger is a reliable chain.

As far as Japan's taste is concerned, I am very pleased if you try Katsu-don, or Oyako-don, at a soba restaurant in a private business.
The Japanese love hamburgers very much. Along with that, I also love the fast food of ancient Japanese rice ball.

Shinjuku department store "Takashimaya".
The tonkatsu of "Katsukura" on the 14th floor here is wonderful.

>>9629872
Thanks!

I swear to God, they must be putting something in your water to keep americans this fucking stupid. It's not natural. You are actually dumber than sub-saharan africans

>>9621404
Damn that looks boring

So if I ever go to Japan, just how fucked am I with this allergy to shellfish?

>>9633197
What makes him so stupid? That he didn't eat the local food at a country he visited?

>>9633239
How about you don’t eat the shellfish then you dumb cunt?

¥1000 in Osaka

Irish Restaurant and Pub in Shibuya.

>>9634148
Yes, that's pretty obviously what made him stupid. He even admitted it himself.

Campion Ale, Taito.

So many nice traditional places to chill in Kyoto

Not a great pic but this burger joint was the best I found during my 10years in Aichi

I remember getting well plastered in Nagoya after a five course meal here. My mates went home and I went on to duck a hooker lol. She was super hot too. Didn't speak a word of English though. Just lots of 'kimochii'.

>>9625757
Not that anon, but if anyone is interested they should look up shojin ryori. Its buddhist cuisine, served at temples and stuff, I think mostly in Kyoto. Good for inspiration. Also, Asian grocers have a lot of imitation meat / seafood that isnt common in western countries, and some of its pretty decent.

Was noice

Ate this near Tsuji Market

>>9634578
>I went on to duck a hooker lol. She was super hot too. Didn't speak a word of English though.
How'd you buy her? Broken jap knowledge?

Also ate this near Tsuji Market

>>9635345
What's the fish on the bottom left? Almost looks like herring.

>>9635393
Probably mackerel

>>9635402
Ah, that would make more sense than herring anyway. Thanks.

>>9635393
It was a 'Kohada', which is a 'Gizzard Shad' in English

>rice

It's not really that impressive. When will weebs stop worshipping Japan?

>Gizzard Shad

>>9629893

American here. I visited in August and I can attest that this was absolutely delicious. My brother and I went there on our first night, and it was a damn good choice.

They have you grind sesame seeds into a fine powder first, then you dip the pork into a sauce then into the sesame powder, and eat it with the pickled cabbage. I didn't know breaded pork could taste that good.

Only difficulty is that it's somewhat hard to find being on the 14th floor and all. But that is also a good thing, since you wont get many retarded foreigners ruining the environment.

>>9636817
I'm pretty sure you mix the sauce into the ground sesame powder, but still, you do you as long as you enjoyed it

>>9637572
why the raw yolk though?
salmonella is dangerous

superior Japanese crepe

>>9617165
this ramen looks so good fml want it

>>9617190
ah the worst taste and texture meat you could ever eat raw. uma delicia!

by the way the 'kill' the salmonella by heating it up to a certain temperature - that is indeed still partially cooked.

>>9617178
Looks American-sized. That's a lot of fucking meat.

>>9617274

>>9634568
Is that a bun with squid ink in it? Every time I eat something with squid ink in it I get green shits.

>>9614560
it's actually delicious and I eat it all the time.

great for bulking.

>>9629576

>>9638449
If you've ever eaten an aioli you've eaten raw egg, if you've ever eaten a runny egg you've eaten raw yolk. You're fine.

Oden.

>>9638769
i thought it tasted good

>>9639564
A Japanese man could take a long, steamy shit on a plate and you'd think it was good, that's what separates you, a weeaboo, from an average person.

>>9639511
I used to buy this all the fucking time in my local asian market. They used to prep it in store and then sell it in the fridge isle. The day they stopped I cried.

>>9613720

>>9634556
who's this obaasan amazon?

>>9624061
It looks good, but the amount of dishes being dirtied bothers me. It's like a collection of side dishes presented as a meal.

This was probably the best fatty tuna i've ever eaten

Ate this in a ninja restaurant
