What are your favorite foods from Japan?Now that Japanese twitter is going viral Im seeing a lot of cool Japanese foods and Japanese people reacting to American food.
Soup CurryGengisukhanYakiniku Yakitori OdenIzakaya food is made to eat while drunk, and ripping a cig indoors in 2026 is amazing.
grilled eeleverything else is meme tier or grandma food in comparison
Riberia steak is good.
unagi is the tits
>>21965710UnagiJapan is an absolutely amazing and beautiful country, but somehow the food is the beat thing about it. The quality is just simply so much better than in the US.Driving around the mountains and staying at a cute, traditional Japanese hotel… God, i need to go back.
>>21965761>everything is a meme except this thing where they take a premarinated eel from a freezer pouch and add sugar sauce to it and waft it performatively over some (charcoal, Japan)... that's the REAL japanese food!
>>21965761I had BBQ Eel Sushi on a date once. I've never been able to find it again and I still dream about it.
>food, japan
There's this roast bone-in chicken you can get in Kagawa that really stuck with me. It shouldn't be too hard to make yourself but I haven't gotten around to it.
>>21965869yesis there a problem?
Fatty Tuna, it’s a tier above salmon and fatty cuts of beef in taste and mouthfeel. I had to try it after seeing Japanese authors wank it in manga like GTO, lol
>>21965869nta but I've never seen eel in my entire life either for sale or at a restaurant or I'd make all sorts of shit with it
>>21965813>eelsi bet you wouldn't eat it if it was not covered in layers and layers of caramelized sweet sugar soy sauce
>>21965918i see these sold at yatais in videos, this was kinda crazy. they take a chicken thigh and barely cook it, then cut it up with scissors. eating pink poultry is something that just doesn't happen in the west, and over there they like it. I'd expect all the tendons in the thigh to be annoying when it's so undercooked
>>21965710>Americans invent chicken fried steak >German's serving in POW camps after ww2 go home and turn chicken fried steak into wienerschnitzel >Japs turn wienerschnitzel into tonkatzu
>>21966110>>Americans invent chicken fried steakwiener schnitzel is from the 1800's and not america
>chicken tenderschildish>oyako katsudon!so cultured...
>>21966081Why not? It tastes good. They just make it taste better.
>>21966063I saw a dead one in a lake in upstate New York but I have never managed to catch one
>>21966348eels are fed sewage EXCLUSIVELY in all raising conditions at all times. Additionally, eels dont have normal births, they spawn spontaneously when the murk level is right
DashiMirinSakeSugarSoy sauceYou can now cook every Japanese dish
>>21966087anon it's a dark meat
>>21966617what does that have to do with being turned off by raw chicken?
>>21966538yeah traditional japland food is pretty dulleven katsu curry was imported from england
>>21966087>over there they like it.They're using chicken that has been processed in a different way that's conventional to the cheap chicken we're used to. Mass produced cheap chicken have feathers, not hair, so to remove them they put the chicken in hot water that makes it easier to get them off, but it also opens up the ass so basically mass produced chicken is washed in chicken shit water. If you want to eat it raw, you'd have to clean them in a more expensive, individual way. If there was a cheap way to do it, we'd all be eating undercooked chicken like we do steak
>>21965869meat and sugar is good what else matters faggot
>>21966538You left out miso, salt, and rice vinegar
Cantonese fried rice
