/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Bored, Shitposter-san?

All of that food there is likely bland and cold. Japan only cares about the outer appearance of the food. Not taste

>>13556744
How much salt?
Most things don't taste good without enough salt.

>>13556744
>Raw fish and other nasty shit

no thanks, gtfo weeb.

>>13556744
Is the cool japan campaign still running?

>>13556759
>he wants to eat warm sushi

some dishes are made to be cold

>>13556744
>The attention to detail, the focus on freshness, the delicate aesthetics..
Uh, why no mention of taste? Who gives a shit what it looks like if the taste is shit. Food is meant to be eaten, not to be an art exhibit.

>>13556761
fresh food doesnt need much seasoning.

ever heard of "less is more?"...

the minimalism of japanese culture.

Other cultures smother the food with sauces and spice. In Nippon they allow the food to speak with its own clear voice.

They could have had her sneaking something a little nicer than a lump of boiled rice, though.

>>13556900
Its stuffed

They are just autistic about their food like they are autistic about everything
Eg Mitsubishi bread oven

>>13556834
What is this?

>>13556818
>minimalism of Japanese culture

Your ass hasn't been to any major Japanese city has it?

>>13556834
The japanese are so in love with their own cuisine its sickening. GG guys you managed to make raw fish eatable. Now stop whining and eat your sauerkraut, paneek panir and mousaka.

>>13556834
she not wrong vegemite is terrible apparently

>>13556818
Are you memeing? Japanese cuisine has a ton of salt

>>13557388

One of the best but there are better.

They just aren't spicebrains, even less so than whites. Based and weebpilled

>>13556744
do japanese people really eat out of cardboard boxes?

>>13556744
>The attention to detail, the focus on freshness, the delicate aesthetics..
i agree with that, its just a shame its all made from nasty shit like sea cumbers and other weird shit

>>13558516
My bento was styrofoam made up to look like wood. That stuff looks like it too. Other than the roe, fermented vegetables, and maybe one other item it really is bland

>>13557396
I live in Japan and people here genuinely think that corn on pizza is delicious and some sort of hidden italian delicacy. People here are really fucking nuts about italian food but can never remotely cook anything like it. There are loads upon loads of "italian" restaurants here but when you go in it's always some weird fucking japanese ripoff where they fuck up all of the dishes by adding jap shit like raw squid and eel and shit to it and then they try to fucking play it off as "real italian food". It doesn't help that people here don't know what normal bread or cheese is. It's all fucking gross. I have not had any normal-tasting cheese in all the time I've lived here, and good bread is about as rare as a properly paid salaryman. These people are born on this island, they will live their whole lives on this island, and they will die on this island without ever tasting real bread or cheese in their life and that's just sort of sad. The worst part is that because no japanese person actually knows what real italian food is like, nobody can call restaurants out on this bullshit, everyone eats it all up and calls it "honto ni umai uwuwu" and everyone thinks this is what real italian food is like. It's just sad. "OOOhh rettsu addu fishu eggu andu seaweedu to pasta carbonara don't u kno this is how rearu itarian peeporu eat!!!". The worst part for me is that japan doesn't just massacre classic italian food like this, but they also do it with every other country's cuisine imaginable. French, spanish, mexican, turkish, you name it. They botch everything they come across as "wow foreign so cool" but it's never apparently fucking good enough unless they douse it in soy sauce and raw octopus to make it "authentic european" food. Don't get me wrong I love me some japanese food but fuck this country for ruining foreign food culture and fuck the people for being too retarded to not know what real food is like, even though they kind of can't help it, fuck em it's gross

Japan is the ultimate looksmaxing culture, they have the best looking but not the best tasting cuisine.

>>13556744
You're not wrong.

we have this thread almost everyday it might as well be a bot.

As far as I know, this proverb comes from roman times and pretty much every single latin-rooted language has its own variation.

In spanish is "comer por los ojos" which translates to "eat with the eyes".

>>13556744
The only good Japan food is Japanese Curry and maybe some sweets.
All other is taste less, cold food.

>>13559680
When I was on Japan i went to Italian restaurant one without knowing about all of this.
I looked over menu and found "red carbonara". I like carbonara so I thought it might be something interesting I've never tried before.
It wasn't carbonara. It wasn't even this """carbonara""" brits do with cream instead of eggs. It was something like Bolognese with added cream to make it pink. Like what the fuck.

>>13559983
Nothing produced by a bugman has soul, as they themselves lack one

you're replying to copypasta you newfag

>>13559680
Some of the interpretations are good though, like the high end french restaurants

>>13560108
Well, I'd write it either way because the experience was still bizarre.

>>13560136
That was copypasta too newfag.

>>13560139
Stop spamming copy pasta, low life autist.

I know this isn't /fit/ but please post your body. I bet all my month's wagie bucks that you are either 300+ lbs or are built like a used condom.

>>13560172

>>13556834
isn't that cute? but it's WRONG
you slice blackpudding, combine with some toast and dip it in the egg.
I'm Australian but will freely admit that vegemite is abysmal however

>>13556744
>Theres no cuisine better than Japanese in the world.
Hahahaha you're funny anon. It definitely is a contender though.

Chinese is also unironically quite good. Dat pig in dat sweet 'n sour sauce tho
I liked indian food too but it cannot be among the top of the world because not everyone can handle its sheer spiciness. Let me tell you, during my time in India the food was yummy but my shit was runny

>>13557388

Ever had a sushi roll with spicy mayo on it? so much sauce blech!

I love this Japanese seafood pasta.

Am I missing something? Fucking jap food is a meme.

I want to tie OP's arms and ankles together then rape him in the ass over and over again until the structural integrity of his colon and anus is compromised to the point that his vinegary shits drop out of his ass from the force of gravity alone.

Too bad it's in the worst country on earth.

Good but not fantastic imo. Their snacks and candy though.

>>13561071
Yeah, you're definitely missing something lol

>>13560799
Japs are skinny and don’t enjoy sex so I’m not sure there’s a correlation between the two.

I appreciate the level of skill and cleanliness and purity that is involved in making it, but I'll take Thai food any day. Fucking blood soup with sticky rice is some tasty slop

>>13556818
>Japan is actually memeing the idea of owning an empty house with barren walls in order to maximize exports and minimize imports
The absolute mad lads

>>13561408
they don't enjoy sex because their dicks are too small
trust me on this one, I was in japan and had sex with many boys and girls there
the erect penises were sometimes the size of my thumb
and in the case of the women they were so petite even my very normal sized penis was painful for them at first

>>13560799
>>13561408
Well you guys are retards, but you’re still enjoying your “reading” right?
I imagine it’s similar

>>13557388
I would have thought "bath" would have ranked higher than that in jspan since they were taking daily hot baths long ago while lice ridden barbarous europeans thought bathing would kill you.

>>13561429
I need to fucking go to Japan
>>13561453
Europe is literally freezing cold about 25% of the time so yes it absolutely can fucking kill you to take a bath when you aren’t surrounded by the Pacific Ocean you mouth-breathing nigger

Took your geography classes in the US, I take it?

i had been on japan and is underwhelming, italy by far has better food

Korean > Japanese > Chinese

>>13556744
It's good, but overrated. It's got some pretty bland shit, there's not much variation of techniques. The shit they do well, they do well.
I'd rather have many chinese/viet/thai/taiwanese noodles than ramen for example, not that ramen's bad but it's few varieties are pretty one note and inferior to it's origins. Soba's good, Udon is ok, the rest is meh. Some good rice dishes. Sushi's good, tonkatsu and tempura/fried shit gets boring, some good grilled dishes(unagi especially), meh stews, soups and stirfries. Good pickles. Some interesting sweets. But anything that has a hint of foreign like french/italian they bastardize it to shit. Overall pretty good but far from the best.

>>13561221
Pretty much, their candies and snacks are pretty out there for flavor and such.

>>13561071

>>13556744
Here's a good example of Japanese cuisine. Just grab it straight out of the ocean and take a bite. But seriously, maybe Japanese men are so small because they never learned to cook their meat, making the protein less accessable. I will say, it would be much more convienient to just gnaw on live animals like they do instead of cooking. Way less dishes.

>>13563657
Nice. Chives, cucumbers, a single mushroom in water, and cum spread thinly onto a plate. Peak Japan.

I had Japanese green tea and I've been trying to find a good source of the powder since then. Everything's either fucking X *with* matcha or matcha in a tea bag like fucking animals. I just want some good quality green powder I can have a lot of around the house

>>13558516

>>13556777
Seriously, the best food around here is made by literally who Jamaicans on a dubiously hygienic grill at the outdoor flea market.
>>13556875
You ought to smell food before you see it.

Real talk:
Last time I was in Japan I had two fairly pricey kaiseki meals (One in Kyoto and one in Nara) and I gotta say...I enjoyed most of the izakaya food a helluva lot more.
Plus I still can't get myself to do the raw egg dip thing...Maybe this year when I go I might actually try it.

>>13563652
They're small because they were vegetarians for like 700 years because of some gay emperor and Chinese influence.

>>13563761
honestly the common man foods are the best unless some kind of critic or expensive foodie

God I wish he was real and my personal chef

>>13563829
Pretty much...Though I will admit: The Yakiniku place that my girlfriend and I visited on a random walk through Nara was pretty fucking BOMB. A bit pricier than the pub food, but still cheaper than most of the kaiseki places

>>13556744
those great japanese ingredients like australian lobster and tuna from the open seas

>>13556744
Look at that seabug in the middle. Horrid

What's the deal with /ck/ and anti-American sentiment that is completely and utterly unrelated to the thread topic? You'll see it on some boards sometimes, but /ck/ really cranks it up to eleven. There a derailed conversation in every single thread I've read through on here.

Why are you so obsessed with us?

I'm starting to prepare chanko nabe
any tips?

Bat sashimi

>>13564116
where the chuhais

Yes Japan does have overpriced fancy food but the quality is still there even in vending machine food or gas stations or whatever. You can get actual food at a 7 11 in Japan and not just like cheese nachos with a gallon of soda. Cup ramen is great too.

>>13564224
fuckin delicious 7-11 cheap sandwiches

>>13564190
Fugu sashimi

A lot of japanese dishes use sake and mirin
Can I do the food without these two? I only have chicken broth, soy sauce, miso and rice vinegar

>>13560799

>>13564280
sake can be replaced with white wine/cooking alcohol
mirin with a sweetener or syrup

>>13556772
>sushi
Doesn't look like there's any sushi.

japanese food makes me appreciate the variety of Mexican food.
