I will not buy into the "Japanese food" propaganda Sushi and Ramen are the only passable Japanese dishes. Every other aspect of their cuisine is bland, gross or derivative.
>>21821670Japan has good food but when it comes to curry they're in last place1st place goes to Thailand2nd place goes to India And 3rd place goes to Japanam I missing any other curries?
>>21821674You missing basically every other southeast asian country.
>>21821670Japanese cuisine is just food from the convenience store or vending machine. fuel for a 100 hour work week
>>21821676But how different does it compare to thr aforementioned? Because each of these 3 are uniquely different. But i never knew there was that many different styles or curry. Then again, I've never seen a restaurant that does Asian cuisine that wasn't either of these. Does Korea have its own style of curry? Vietnam? I've never seen curry at a pho restaurant and they usually have other options.
Japanese curry has really grown on me. Its not as good as any other country's curry, but curry katsu hits the spot when you're craving it
>>21821686You should just accept that you just don't know anything about it. Thinking 'India' has a monolithic style of curry is a dead giveaway.
Nip curry is elite
>>21821692I dont. The ranking was basically from my own personal experience with the curries I've personally tried. You got a problem with that or something, you seem annoyed at my opinion.
>>21821670i lived in tokyo for five years in my early 20s. yes, i laughed at your post. no, i won't tell you all the cool shit i ate that you've never heard of. yes, you are a faggot. yes, i banged tons of girls. no, you'll never do that.
>>21821700I don't have a problem with your opinion, you just asked if you missed anything. You did, it's an incredibly uninformed opinion. Don't ask if you don't want to know.
>>21821703Yea, you're definitely butt blasted. Don't use the internet if you can't handle other people's opinion weenie.
>>21821708At least I don't live in the midwest, wew.
>>21821674If anime has taught me anything it's that there are hundreds of types of curry
>>21821754Anime has taught me that everyone everywhere will orgasm the second they taste glorious nihongo curry and gohan (TL: "gohan" means "rice").
>>21821670>no eelCome on now>>21821689It's so unfussy and easy to make.
>>21821670Ramen is just a bland derivative of Chinese noodle soup.
>>21821754Interesting. I think I'm going to look into it tonight and see if they're really that different or just similar with slight variations due to locally available ingredients and such.
>>21821763What does TL mean?
>>21821804holy shit, nobody tell him.
>>21821804how did you get past the captcha?
>>21821674Why even compare them? Japanese curry is not the same as brown people curry. It's not mixed with cheap cuts of meat to improve their palatability, its a sauce to accompany rice that is most comparable to how western gravy is used for potatoes. As you can see from the pic, the sauce is not drowning the meat like it's used in the other two cuisines because it's a completely different and more refined application of the spice blend. >in b4 curry japan: :^DYes, it is superior. I just explained why
>>21821976Sneed
>>21821804Tough Love
>>21821976I'd personally rate Thai curry above Japanese, but it's close. I don't really like Indian curry.
Japanese curry is unironically one of the most delicious and satisfying foods
>>21821674Sri Lankan, Malaysian, Indonesian.
>>21822034Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Philippines...Hell I'd even rank Singapore above Japan for curry.Japanese curry is more like European curry. Something you get with french fries and bratwurst in a pubIt's tasty enough though But nowhere near as complex as picrel: a Cambodian fish curry
>>21821670The idea that a nation has good food beyond two popular exports is "propaganda"? You're foolish and uneducated.
>>21821804Too long. It's not really a thing without the "DR", but these gatekeeping incels really love it when their "in speak" is misunderstood. They think you need to "lurk more", which they will invariably spell "moar". It's a really stupid and gay community here. Mostly pedos and incels and some genius master chefs like myself who know everything. I only have so much time to bequeath my wisdom though. You just happened to get lucky.
>>21821670>derivative food is badWhat sort of retarded braindead opinion is this? The entire countries of Japan and Korea are derivative of China. America is derivative of Britain. You’re a retarded ape if you think that a dish having origins somewhere else is inherently a bad thing.
>>21822136>it's more complex because it has 100,000x more spicy, sweet, sour, and pungent ingredients that drown out all other flavors>here's a pic of after being dumped into literal bucket for me to eatWe got a real bourdain Jr. here
>>21821670>SAAAAR I WANT POO CURRY MASALA CHUTNEY SAR IS GOOD FECAL SAR
>>21822210>bucketIt's a banana leaf.Never mindHere is Cà Ri Ga (curry chicken) from Vietnam. Usually enjoyed with baguettes.I would also rate Vietnam curry above Japan curry.
>>218216741st place is England retard
As someone that has spent a considerable amount of time in Japan I can say I don't like Japanese food muchI like the americanized kind but authentically I'm not a fanAfter the novelty wore off I found myself eating western food most often instead of Japanese stuffBurgers and fries most days, fried chicken, crepesIt's actually pretty funny how I ended up with the palate of a 5 year old fairly quickly
Ramen is pretty bad with that fluorescent pink swirly shit.
>>21821670カツカレー is really fucking goodyou sound like a sore loser, why kind of filth dweller gets this mad over good food merely existing?
>>21821670jap food isn't really good because of a culinary tradition, it's good because japs care about what they eat and don't have a sullen methhead immigrant food service labor force
>>21821670God, that’s just so…….Superior in ever way to french cooking. I just literally cant over how so much better it is than the fundamentals only approach to cooking that’s is do prevalent among the french
>>21821670>derivativeIt’s just Chinese food they’ve tweakedWhat do you expect?.
>>21821697>potatoes and rice at the same timemental illness
Japanese mutant waxy midget rice is gross desu
>>21821670The Japanese seem to have a problem where they value the appearance of food over the flavour. Looks great, tastes mediocre. At least in Tokyo. But there is a lot of very good Japanese food.
>>21821697>Nip curry is eliteIt's mid. At best. Except for Sapporo soup curry. That's a nice flavor and unique.
>>21822222it's not a prize for last place, anon.you never eat curry from england.
>>21821674>1st place goes to Thailand South East Asian soup is a completely different things than the "sauce for rice" known as curry
>>21822160Is there a reason why you seethe endlessly in every thread, hampborgar bro?
>>21821754i don't remember curry in dbz.all other anime is just a dollar tree version of dbz.
>>21821976mf the japanese routinely put in ketchup directly in the pot, refined my ass, it's closer to a midwestern mom making meatloaf than anything else
>>21821697is that not just a beef/chicken stew with rice?
>>21821674You missed more than you named you Type II BSA.
>>21823008A dish is the sum of its parts. Ketchup can be a good addition to many dishes.
>>21823102Ketchup is a perfectly fine ingredient, I'd wouldn't claim that sloppy joes are haute cuisine or anything like that. OP's pic isn't even a good example of japanese curry. something like this is more accurate to what most people in japan eat, and even then I''d argue that this is still too glamorous. Curry is delicious no matter the country, but treat it like the comfort sloppa it is.
>>21823047>>21822586Seethe
>>21821674Thai curry is pure sugar
>>21823186Its coconut milk, more like mostly fat. It's delicious and a nice treat
Japanese Curry (Gravy Beef Stew) looks nothing like British Curry, Let alone Indian or South East Asian.
>>21823008>anti ketchup fagNigger, if I labeled it Artisan Puree of Tomato Chutney you'd buy is for $80.
>>21821670Since when is "dErIvAtIvE" a reasonable critique of regional dishes? Burgers are derived from hamburg steak and they're a legitimate culinary masterpiece. Hell, ramen is derived from chinese noodle dishes.
>>21821697It doesn’t even deserve getting called curry imo. The only real curry is that of South Asian origin.
>>21823202>Japanese CurryMeat in gravy>British Curry,Meat in gravy>IndianMeat in gravy>South East AsianSoupYour theory is flawed sir

>>21821771Like maocai, or something else?
>>21822160Thanks, bro.
>Sushi and Ramen are the only passable Japanese dishes.*blocks your path*(I'm actually curious, if anyone here can weigh in: Is okonomiyaki well-known across Japan, like a Philly cheesesteak is in the US, or is it more obscure, like a fry bread taco?)
>>21825830It's funny how korean food is basically this, but made of walmart ingredients like spam, american cheese, and instant noodles. Okonomiyaki is a type of slop but it's very sophisticated and defies the negative connotations. It uses high quality ingredients and the cook and presentation are involved. The noodles and sauce come from packages but everything else is real food. Still, the noodles are dry wheat noodles, not instant noodles like a Korean restaurant would serve. Even slop street food in Japan is maxed out quality version of what other poors are eating. They simply refuse to settle for less. If the whole world was Japanese, we'd be living in a utopia.
>>21823744>>21823570Holy cope. Japan took brown people spicy powder and gave it a real culinary purpose beyond masking expiring meats. Anglo curry is just adding curry to gravy. If it was introduced to Japanese cuisine this way, it has certainly been refined and perfected since.
>>21821697Sheer filth. Disgusting.
>21825873don't respond to this bait

>>21825898nta but it must be bait because nobody is as colossal a faggot as you're acting. Silly cunt.
>>21822136>Japanese curry is more like European curry.It literally is British Curry. Got it from them and actually imported Curry powder from Britain, for I think 20y even though India is just around the corner. Someone in the Japanese Navy thought it would be a good idea to increase Beef intake so they needed a simple dish that could not be ruined by overcooking.
>>21825928>It literally is British CurrySee >>21825873

>>21821674jamaican
>>21826849Only jamaican food I've ever had is jamaican jerk chicken but that shit is fucking phenomenal so I'll choose to believe you
>>21825726Thats cause you need it spicier>>21826849I think I've tried it before and it's good, iirc it also implements coconut milk right? I would imagine so, since it's a tropical fruit or whatever it is
I went to Japan recently and I have to say, I found everything to be underwhelming. It was a great trip overall, and I enjoyed it very much, but experiencing everything made me realise it's all overhyped. You eat sushi at home and people tell you it's so much better in Japan, and then you try it in Japan and you realise it's the same shit. Salmon is salmon and rice is rice. I got to try Japanese curry and I liked it. There was fuck all meat in it but I still enjoyed it. Very simple dish, hard to fuck it up. As for whos curry is better, it's down to personal preference. But I agree with OP that apart from sushi and ramen (and I'l add curry) there isn't much else that's good. But that's normal. You could say the same about any country's cuisine.
>>21827399>Thats cause you need it spicierBird's eye chilis don't taste all that good, they're closer to like horseradish or wasabi spice
>>21827342>>21827399https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0wbVNGn8e8i forget some foods can be really regionalhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZtfn2lj4Fs
>>21822222Best curry I've ever had was in Leicester. Barely heard any spoken English in the 3 days I was there, but the best curry I've ever had.
>>21821670I had a period of time were I would order huge boxes of japanese ingredients just to try to cook some dishes. The only dishes I think I would make again are >mapo dofu >yaki udon/soba>gyoza>zaru soba>agedashi tofu>sunomono and all kinds of pickled stuff (even with miso)>the quick miso ramen by Just One Cookbookin general it was quite interesting to learn different techniques I was not used to, even though the costant seeping of kombu and katsuobushi to make dashi and various kinds of sauces (99% of recipes) becomes a hassle after a while.
>>21821674Yeah you're missing a lot South Asian curry > SEA curry >>>>> East Asian curry. Japanese/Korean style curries are overly sweet, watery nonsense
How hard is it to make takoyaki at home?
>>21828145very easy if you have the specific pan, impossibile otherwise
>>21828145I didn't like takoyaki. I mean it's just cooked octopus with some other shit to give some mild flavour to it, it's not that great.
>>21828155Yeah guess I'll pass then
>>21828164Just use an aebleskiver pan.
>>21828161Japan has a poverty mindset even though they're actually rich as fuck. Octopus is tradition, but fucking stupid. I see an octopus and simultaneously think what the fuck is that/cool/wtf. I don't think I want to put that in my belly. It's not food it's a weird sea creature. Generational trauma I guess makes japs/meds want to eat it. Takoyaki is generally underwhelming like most jap food, but if you use a normal pork sausage to substitute the octopus it goes from meh to this is entirely too much work for what you get but it's good enough and omf this is just like my chinese girl cartoons.The worship Japanese food gets isn't really because japan=good. Japs are just fussy and picky eaters who, like the French, insist on quality ingredients. Japanese have unrefined childish palates(moar sugar moar salt lmao), but because they are so picky even slop like ramen or okonomiyaki come out OK because every ingredient has to be fresh and good.
>>21821670
>>21828458I feel bad eating octopus because they're so intelligent but I actually think it tastes great prepared right. I feel a lot less bad eating squid because they're braindead, and have a similar flavor and consistency so that's what I usually go for
>>21821674>first place>Thailandsweet tooth baby
>>21827441I fucking love Wasabi and I learned that recently. It's so good when it just flares through your nostrils. It was something I've always avoided but I tried it and i found out that it's actually really good and unique sensation. You do build a quick tolerance unfortunately>>21827484Yea I have had it before, it's good.>>21828106I've never seen any south or east Asian restaurants. Typically in America it's either Chinese American, phone, japanese/sushi or Thai. Now curious to look and see if i can find any.
>>21828820Not really, I just really like coconut and spicy foods.
>>21822272Wow, you know katakana. I bet it took you an entire afternoon to learn that!
>>21828826I've tried wasabi a few times, and it's not like disgusting or anything but I just don't really feel like it adds much to the food. Much like horseradish by itself it just kicks me in the sinuses and doesn't do much else, maybe it could be a supplemental ingredient in some kind of sauce or condiment and I'd like it as much as I liked the burger I used to get at a restaurant that had horseradish mayo that tasted really good
>>21828952This. Wasabi is more sensation than flavour.
>>21821670>>21821674Japanese curry > Indian curryI like the refined taste.
Japanese curry is the only one I like because it's not 99% coconut milk and sugar like literally every SEA curry, and I hate Indians so I wouldn't eat their slop (which was a British invention anyway). If SEA curry is your favourite you are a literal baby that likes sweet milkies with some owee spice. It's the culinary equivalent of putting ketchup on your steak.
>>21828458>even though they're actually rich as fuckJapan has been in crisis for 30 years
