ITT, we discuss Japanese delicacies.

On the off chance that anyone among Anon has been rich/fortunate enough, has anyone ever tried such Japanese foods as fugu, Kobe beef (although I suppose American grown wagyu can count too), and uni?

Pic related, it's fugu

Natto looks fucking nasty. I'm willing to try most food at least one, but not that.

My friend treated me to fugu at an izakaya once. It wasn't too tasty but the texture was unreal.

Actually it's not bad but you don't want it straight you need the mustard/soya sauce stuff mixed in very well.

I'm heading back over soon and this time I want to try some whale, among other things. Everyone makes a big fuss about how bad it is to kill whales, so its got to taste good, right?
Last time, I ate shark fin ramen in Kobe's china town and i must say I was impressed with the flavour.

>Japanese delicacies

What?

[Anonymous No.]

errr not really a delicacy but I made Ichigo Daifuku today, it turned out alright, tasted fine but the balls weren't exactly visually pleasing. I've never had Anko paste before, it tasted a lot like cinnamon.

[Anonymous No.]

had kobe beef before, but that was like six or seven years ago

Whale is unimpressive, bland and tough.

They kill them because whales are huge. That means they have huge guts.

I guess I'll just try for so of that tuna belly then.

I don't think you made them right.

Not fucking worth it.

I didn't make the paste, it was pre-made, the ichigo daifuku itself tasted like strawberries

Man up, Anon.

Really its not worth it. Fugu that is properly prepared by a respectable chef is bound to be fucking expensive and its quite likely that the average person won't like its taste. Oh, and it could still kill you.

[Anonymous No.]

>fugu
haven't tried it yet. Not really planning on it, but if the opportunity presents itself I probably won't say no.

>uni
is delicious. Fresh uni is so creamy. I also love the preserved uni that comes in jars though. It has less of a brine taste to it, but it isn't as creamy. It's fucking great on toast.

>Kobe beef
I've had this, but it was fried to death in a pan and thus looked and tasted like a gumboot sole. So no opinion.

I've also been treated to chicken uterus at a yakitori place (served cold and rubbery), but I missed out on the izakaya trip where my cousins were fed "sakura" (horse meat). I don't really think I want to eat horse anyways.

I'd try it for the thrill of it. It would make me feel like Akagi.

[Anonymous No.]

>>788969
I wouldn't really find it a thrill, which I guess is why I wouldn't go out of my way to try it. I either die or I don't, there's no adrenaline rush.

fugu is like that kopi luwak coffee (that they make after picking the undigested beans out of some animal's shit) -- only desired because it costs a lot, and people don't prefer it if you do the pepsi challenge and they don't know what they're eating beforehand

[Anonymous No.]

Only in Japan would they consider something that could kill you a delicacy.
I tried their famous raw chicken and lived, but it would have tasted better cooked.

Save yourself some money and fly over to Hawaii instead. You'll get just as many Japanese people (although most of them will be tourists too), you don't need a passport, and you can still get your $50+ plates of Kobe beef.

Seriously, we could use the extra tourism.

Hell, we used to have a Morning Musume store in Waikiki

I want to try the hermaphrodite tuna I saw on iron chef. It's supposed to be extra fatty.

[Anonymous No.]

>>789045
the kopi luwak is prized because it's fermented inside the luwak. the fermentation give it a unique taste. but just like any high-class delicacies, not all people can appreciate that.

also i'm an indonesianfag. being used to overly spicy or overly sweet food, Japanese food are too bland for me. the spices aren't good too-- wasabi taste like raw gum even after soya sauce added to it.

[Anonymous No.]

I don't see what's so great about Japanese food.

I mean, they eat NATTO.

Come on. NATTO.

[Anonymous No.]

>>790268
I still can't get over the fact that they eat uncooked food.

Natto isn't that bad. Frankly, I think it doesn't taste much, but does sure smell baaad. Go easy on the mustard sauce, it overpowers the taste easily.

Maccha icecream is great. As are other maccha snacks, like that waffle roll thing with maccha cream filling.

Just call it green tea, fucking hell.

Tried funazushi once.

That was a bad idea. A very bad idea.

So, in /weeaboo/, it's not ok to call powdered fucking green tea matcha but it's perfectly ok to call fermented smelly soy beans natto? G.j. champ.

In a logical world, weeaboo-bashing on a weeaboo board would warrant an instant ban.
Crazy times we live in

[Anonymous No.]

Because there's an english word for maccha? there is no english word for natto, it's called fucking natto in english.
