Why is japanese cuisine considered so superior to anything else in the world?
>>
>>22059860
I feel like I've been eating Japanese food all my life. It's really good but I never crave it anymore, I think I'm bored of it.
>>
>>22059860
when?
>>
>>22059860
By whom?
I like it okay but I don’t think anyone but nips and weebs would say it’s better than all else.
>>
>>22059883
>>22059902
Let's not pretend like the food world hasn't been in love with Japanese food since the 80s.
>>
>>22059902
A lot of high-end chefs, food critics, and the normies they influence circlejerk Japanese food to a degree that even weebs would be ashamed by. Or at least they did for a long time there, like the '80s into the '10s, lately Korean and SE Asian food seems to have taken the primary place for those people though.
>>
>>22059910
It hasn't, you just like dickriding them

You're mistaken. See

It's got some very good dishes and is overall solid, but it's not the ambrosia some dorks make it out to be.

Only by actual weebs and japs themselves. Most people consider it artful but bland compared to most other cuisines, because it is.
>>
>>22059860
japan's one-of-a-kind four season calendar found no where else on earth allows for such variation and experimentation
>>
>>22060018
Bro, all of continental Europe has that
>>
>>22060035
r u actually regarded
>>
>>22059860
It isn't. The average person doesn't give a single shit about Japanese food and rightfully so. It's extremely bland.
>>
>>22060064
Yes, I am well regarded among friends and associates.
>>
>>22059860
It's definitely in the world's top 5, but I wouldn't consider it superior to let's say Italy or France.

I am requesting your dried wakame brand suggestions. Most everything online is China random letter generator brand name

>>22059860
Nobody else is willing to spend ten years learning the tamago

>>22059860
Low parasite burden populations don't depend so heavily on inordinate quantities of spices for their food which has the downstream consequence of having much, MUCH higher standards for ingredient quality. Japan and (historically) western Europe stood pretty much alone in this regard. Only the French definitely have retained this, and the Spanish have come out of left field as close seconds in recent years.
>>
>>22059860
Their cuisine is shitty microwave noodles. Japan might have objectively the worst and laziest food in the world.
>>
>>22059860
Island nations are by nature genetically pure, which leads to pure cuisine since they aren’t tainted by material or agricultural surplus which inevitably leads to western unipolar decadence and corruption. Once Russia liberates britain it will be Great again

And then what? You're gonna build iron man suits and liberate China and USA?

It's "safe exotic" for lily wytepipo widdle babby palates. Bland, salty and "natural" (unseasoned) cuisine. Mostly inoffensive food that WASP food writers can have the courage to eat and pretend they're intrepid cosmopolitan globe trotters.

Nice

ty I'll give it a try

traditional sushi is good, westernized sushi is better. every other part of japanese cuisine is total shit. japanese curry is a worse version of english stew/pot roast. ramen gets BTFO by literally every other soup in asia as well as europe. katsu is uhhh okay but breaded and fried meat isn't even original enough to be called japanese food.
>>
>>22061974
I wonder if this retard is going to glaze North Sentinel Island with this same logic. They're probably fucking eating monkey soup and not A5 Wagyu.
Weeaboos are so beyond braindead that they think Japan is the only island and they start theorycrafting retarded shit like "le islanders are le pure and eat le pure food"

Ironically, for the past century or so, the Japanese have been longing for and imitating cuisines from around the world

You don't need anything else if you have these four. Sometimes you want a burger. Sometimes you want pasta. Sometimes you want a honeyed ham, or lo mein.

I'm really struggling in Japan because the food here is so bland.

You dramatize the weebs opinion if you want but it just makes you look stupid like them.

Because It looks fancy and americans still cling onto the fantasy of japan being a paradise
Anyways my local grocery store is selling whipped cream sandwiches for 6 bucks and that's fucking stupid
>>
it's all good marketing. jap food is actually bong tier awful.
>>
It's because it's the cuisine that most closely resembled the principles of haute cuisine that the French developed
Since the French control Michelin, Japanese cuisine was promoted
A lot of top chefs are big fans of Japanese cuisine
Also Japanese knives have become the default in high end kitchens now
>>
>>22062322
American food includes Americanized sushi, Americanized chinese, Americanized italian and pizzas. American food also includes texmex. The only 2 cuisines anybody needs are American food and Mediterranean food.

Yeah, the meta has moved spicier over the last two decades and japanese food as a whole can seem sort of bland by comparison. Cuisines overall are constantly evolving and borrowing and japanese food is getting spicier too, on the margins.

I would like mexican, but if I had to choose four I would go with what you have. American is almost cheating since its so broad.

Japanese food is actually really simple. You order a cooked fish. They cook a fish and put a little salt on it. That's it. You order chicken. They cook a chicken and put a little soy sauce on it. That's it. You order unagi. It's just a grilled eel with a little barbecue sauce. Why is everything so good if it only has two or three ingredients?

It's because the ingredients itself is better. You get pork from Japan, you can be sure some Japanese farmer somewhere raised and fed that pig properly. You get pork from America? They feed it plastic fucking bottles. You order chocolate in America? Zero actual chocolate. It's all syrups and emulsifiers. You get chocolat in Japan? You can bet your ass they imported coacoa beans from Venezuela or some shit and used the best fucking sugar and coacoa butter they could get their hands on.

Even if you get some shitty fried chicken from a convenience store in Japan, you can be sure you aren't getting any McDonalds pink slime with ground up chicken beaks and talons. That's why the food tastes better here. You eat literal poison in the west. The jews put sawdust and shredded plastic bottles in your meat. That's why it tastes like shit.
