I pick japanese food easily, but not the particular japanese food in that picture.

Korean. I grew up on Japanese food. I thought my family couldn't cook until I actually went to a Japanese restaurant. Nope. Japanese food is just bland. Korean is same-y but at least it tastes like something.
>>20973314Korean every time. Japanese cuisine may be autistic but it's also largely tasteless and bland. Koreans aren't afraid of using a bit of spice. Also gochujang when used correctly is pretty fucking tasty (and I thought that before Reddit ever heard of it).
Japan any day. I do like bulgogi but other than that I cannot for the life of me understand their OBSESSION with kimchi.
>>20974623I love kimchi but like Japanese food otherwise more from what I know
>>20973314I have specific favorites from Japanese food, but Korean overall. Both cuisines are overrated as fuck, though. Japanese food is just a blander version of authentic Chinese food, and Korean food is too fucking sweet.
>>20973314japanese, i don't like chili and garlic.
Genuinely perplexed at anons saying j food is bland. Maybe you just haven’t been to Japan but there are some extremely strong flavors in many dishes. IMO Japan has a lot of classic dishes that are easy to love my personal favorites being ramen, sashimi, yakitori, wagyu, karaage, and yakisoba
>>20974705>names the foods literally everyone already knowsNigga, try some authentic Southeast Asian foods (except filipino, that shit sucks) and you'll realize why we say nip food is bland.
>>20974713I went to Vietnam this summer and besides spicy shit i can’t say the food was better. If anything it’s nice not having to worry about food poisoning in Japan vs se Asia where people were cooking food with the same water they cleaned their ass with. That the flavor you’re looking for? And yea everyone knows that food because it’s famous for being delicious.
>>20974744Nip food is the English food of Asia. Vietnamese food blows that shit out of the water.
>>20974749Vietnamese people would kill theirMother to move to Japan to eat wagyu and sushi and that’s the truth. Old ass ladies slinging street food and scamming Gucci sunglasses can’t compare to an izakaya experience be real. I’ll give it to them on the coffee though that shit was good.
>>20973348Enjoy your intestinal parasites, savage.
>>20974760You named the most basic Japanese foods possible, so I'm skeptical about the food you had in Vietnam. Sushi is great, but everything else about nip food is mediocre. I mean shabu shabu is literally a worse version of Chinese hot pot. Their mabo tofu is a watered-down version of Szechuan style. Dashi is watered-down fish sauce. Japanese curry is the worst version of curry in the world. Yakisoba is worse than lo mein. The list just goes on. Every Japanese derivative of other Asian foods is just a flavorless version.
>>20973314Japanese. Every time I've gotten Korean food it all tastes the same. Kinda sour, kinda sweet, sometimes spicy. The fried chicken is very good though
>>20973314Japanese food is bland, but reliable and predictable so it pleases my autism
>>20974713I grew up on Thai food and lived in Korea for a few years, and I prefer Japanese food the most. Thai food to me is incredibly bland and generic (it's either peanuts or chilis), and Korean food (and their culture in general) is basically the dollar store version of anything Japanese.
>>20974773lol now you’re naming food Japanese people took from China. You do realize that Japanese people kicked the doors in on China, stole their recipes, took the dirt out and perfected it right? They did the same thing with curry, took the shit out and you can reliably eat it without shutting your own blood. Sorry if that’s not “authentic” enough for you.
>>20974792I can enjoy simple foods too, but I genuinely don't understand the love for Japanese food outside of sushi. It's pretty much exactly how >>20974788puts it. Easy to eat but nothing special. To each their own, I guess.
>>20974800Yeah, they took shit from other places and made it flavorless because they didn't have easy access to half the ingredients required.
>>20974803I think what you grew up eating affects your tastes as an adult. Foreign food is exotic and different, so it might be just something completely different that's enticing. Right now, I live in America, and I find southern food pretty amazing. Chicken Fried Steak > Tonkatsu
>>20974678>Korean food is too fucking sweetI'm >>20973394That's been my experience to since degree as well so when I cook it for myself, I simply don't add any sugar at all.
>>20974827If cutting the sweetness by half was the norm in Korean food, it would easily bump it up to the higher tiers of Asian food. The non-sweet stuff is actually pretty great.
I’ve yet to eat korean food I enjoy. Every time I’ve dined at a korean restaurant I’ve regretted my open mindedness.Japanese food is generally inoffensive and has a nice aftertaste. All it lacks is use of spice
>>20974827>That's been my experience to since degreelmaoThat's what I get for phoneposting. That's been my experience to SOME degree. Seems like >>20974831 got it all the same.Yeah, I cook bibim dishes for the family in the warmer months since they're easy, relatively healthy, filling and, since I'm a demichink, quick because there's always cooked rice laying around (or I boil buckwheat noodles to use with it instead).A Korean friend says the way I cook the various sides and prepare the salads for it is good but not sweet enough. I add no sugar at all but I do use mushroom seasoning powder which does have a but of sweetness of its. The way I see it, coupling that with that sweet-ass Korean chili paste provides enough sugariness for our tastes so there's no need for additional sugar or honey or malt syrup. >>20974816>Right now, I live in America, and I find southern food pretty amazing.I went to university in America and live here currently and I was surprised by how different yet paradoxically familiar Southern food is to what I grew up eating. I still prefer pork cutlet to beef, but my mother is from Italy so we had beef cutlets growing up, too. I just never liked them as much and always preferred pork.The weirdest thing was finding out that there are styles of curry native to the US. One I like is called country captain. It's very, very good so I'm quite surprised it's not better known in this country or abroad.Another is chicken divan, which is more like a casserole. Being an American casserole, it has cheese in it but it actually goes well with the mild curry flavours. Another dish that seems fairly unknown today. I think this one was popular in the past but has fallen out of fashion but country captain is still regionally popular.
>>20974713>Southeast Asian>weget off my website reeeeee
I am so sure I would not like Korean food based on its looks and description I never even bothered trying it.
>>20973314jap
>>20974760^he's never had a Bahn Mi
>>20974889Rare good post for around here. The mushroom powder is a good idea - especially if you're using Gochujang anyway. You're right, anything more than that would be cloyingly sweet.
Japan superior. They have the triforce. They invented and perfected eating raw fish. They invented noodles in soup. Ramen is world's best soup and gift to humanity. teppanyaki and hibachi are both just fun and delicious.
>>20973314Japanese food. I've literally never tried Korean food because none of it has ever been appealing to me.
they are both pretty shitty tobehonestwithyoudesu. Can I just have Unagi and Kimchi and that's it?
>>20975474>They invented and perfected eating raw fishI know you're funnin', but nori and sushi both originated in what is today Laos and entered Japan through trade with SEA. The kiseru pipe did, as well.
>>20974993How worm-infested are you these days?
>>20973314korean, no hesistation
>>20973314Japanese food, but Korean food is still very good
I'm over exaggerating but Japanese food fuck sucks. Every food specialty they have is beaten by another Asian country's version. ramen - phoetc.I can't name anymore but you know what I'm saying.
>>20975830Japan has the best seafood of all the Asian nations for a very obvious reason. That said I like both Korean and Japanese food equally but I think the South Koreans are the more based people. They're not meek like the Japanese. The Japanese let BIPOC live streamers run amok and terroize their people while South Korean chads organizes mobs to hunt them down and beat them.
>>20973314japan has better food culture and the food is healthier, but Korean food is much tastier.I also don't enjoy seafood so that's a factor.
>>20973314Taking Japanese. Korean doesn't have anything unique I don't already have better versions of at home.
>>20973314Neither, because both require me to use fucking sticks to eat.
>>20975830>i cant name any other examples but muh feels
>>20977892retarded ape cant use basic manual dexterity. shocker
I'm more of a fan of meat dishes so I feel Korea overtakes Japan on that end. I do enjoy Japanese takes on everybody else's food though
