>>15308912
Alcohol is a dish am i right?

>>15308918
fun fact, gyoza is uses the same chinese characters for jiaozi 餃子.
they're the same thing.

>>15308918
It's a Chinese dish the Japanese copied, just like almost all Japanese food.

>>15308916
This, "japanese food that's not meme shit" is a pretty baiting category but try some slices of raw fish with a little soy sauce, if the fish is high quality it's way better than you'd think

Almost all Japanese food is memed into oblivion wether it's good or not because of anime.

okonomiyaki

I really like okonomiyaki but I don't live in a city so I can only get it when i visit one.

Oden, especially the extra good Shizuoka style of oden.

I took a shot of sochu mixed with turtle blood on new years eve with some drunk-ass sushi chefs i worked with back in like 2006. Would not recommend.

yakitori, not just meat too, at a yakitori izakaya you can find grilled liver, heart, chicken gizzard, grilled organ meats make better tsumami than sashimi IMO, I like grilled Japanese food, grilled Japanese fish is amazing

So many stupid weebs in this thread posting street food and shit that isn't even exclusively japanese.

>>15308891
Basically anything good in japan that's not sushi is only good in so far as that it's close to chinese food.

Honestly man, rice and miso soup. I eat it almost every day. When you get good rice and cook it properly, it's umai (that means delicious) as is. I usually just put some sesame seeds on top of this or maybe some gomashio. Misoshiru is great when you start with good dashi and use good miso. You can use all different kinds of ingredients in it, not just the tofu, wakame, and negi (green onion) that you see at Japanese restaurants. And different varieties of miso will create a very different soup as well.

I like to make Japanese meals with this foundation, add a fish dish, veggie, egg dish, or all of the above and something pickled and you've got a really excellent meal.

Umeboshi is a really delicious Japanese food.

Curry rice is good, I make that pretty often too. Eat it with fukujinzuke and a little drizzle of kewpie on top, delicious (not super healthy though).

Okonomiyaki is another one I make fairly often.

Udon is good, ramen is good, soba is good.

Tonkatsu is tasty and pretty easy to make.

As a cook I really like to learn about and prepare different dishes from around the world, but Japanese food is something I always fall back on, and it's uniquely delicious to me in a way that other cuisines aren't.

>>15308891
tonkatsu, curry (get S&B), ramen, takoyaki, yakisoba (also yakisoba pan is great. using american hot dog buns are pretty great since they are kind of sweet)

you can use normal potatoes or instant ones
Make the mashed potatoes
Throw some ground or diced meat (steak korokke is amazing) into the potatoes
roll them into balls and fry them in peanut oil.
Remember to dredge them in panko crumbs prior to frying or they will explode in the oil.

>post griddle RIGHT NOW
I just cook it in a pan. If I were making more than one at a time I would probably use a griddle, but I usually just make two of these, one for now and one for later, so I don't really need to cook it simultaneously.

The non sushi nip food that is on my rotation:
Katsu curry
Okonomiyaki
Nikujaga
Hamachi teriyaki
Zaru soba
Omurice
Karaage

Also try fresh and simple sushi. A very underrated sushi fish is aji, i found a place over the summer where I can catch an almost identical species here in San Diego and between that and the yellowtail and tuna I caught I was feasting on top tier sashimi all season. I hate winter.

God Tier: Okonomiyaki, Yamasaki Whiskey

For anyone who gives a shit about wagyu beef, consider Nagoya Cochin chicken, pictured here as part of Toybox Ramen. It's considered, to some degree, the chicken equivalent.

>>15311319
look at the marbling

Unagi Don

Spring - takoyaki
Summer - unagi
Fall - sanma shioyaki
Winter - wasabi soba

Unfortunately the god damn Chinese won't stop overfishing. So every fucking year the seasonal fish gets more and more expensive.

I make a bunch of ramen and udon, or rather, I have a nearby korean grocery store that sells all sorts of different asian things, and I can go there and get 'fresh' (or at least not the powdered flavors and dried noodles in your average "instant noodles") noodles and soup bases/pastes .

It's all pretty straightforward, quicker to cook than the true instant noodles, and you just add some frozen seafood or quickly brown up some sliced pork belly or beef in a pan, top it with some chopped green onions or a little dried seaweed and you're good to go. To reiterate; I don't make my own tempura, or tonkotsu paste, or noodles etc... I just buy that shit

before this whole coronavirus thing I used to go to this same Japanese restaurant every other/week and after I couldn't do that anymore decided to try it myself and have to say have been quite satisfied with the results.

honestly been really nice to add this to the 'things I can make at home' repertoire, have tried out some pretty weird things as a result, several of which were quite enjoyable, like the time I just make some tonkotsu soup/noodles and then tossed some old leftover burnt ends in instead of sliced port, and it was pretty good. or literally last night where I had some shoyu ramen with lobster tail

You forgot the second cooking where the pork is sliced then fried in a pan until a crust forms on both sides before serving.

>>15312774
Europeans are obese compared to the Japanese. Japan and South Korea are in a league of their own among developed countries when it comes to this shit. The only other countries with obesity rates that low are third world shitholes where people are literally starving.

>>15312847
I know a hell of a lot of americans who eat whatever they want and they aren't obese. they just eat McSHIT fucking flyover food rarely and skip soft drinks.

Sorry /ck/ you are fat because you eat fast food and frozen food shit. make more money and shop and Trader Joes + Whole Foods /thread

Everything on this guy's channel. If you're at all used to cooking you won't even need to understand Japanese to follow the recipes. Just Google Translate the ingredient list, eyeball the amounts and do what he's doing.

>>15308937
why is japanese cuisine so hilariously bad?
the main staple dish of nipponland is sushi which is literally just fish on rice
their curry is just watered soup
ramen is just inferior version of authentic Chinese noodles
even instant noodles is taiwanese (Chinese) and not from japan

why could the nips not make a satisfactory cuisine?

>>15308891
teriyaki chicken/beef, that soup that sumo wrestlers eat, ramen (from a restaurant) of course, chicken katsu, curry and rice

Hambāgu with curry sauce made with golden curry roux blocks.
most of the nihon stuff feels like some broke college weeb had to make a meal purely off of memory and with leftovers.

I thought so too when I first moved to Japan, but your metabolism adapts.

Kinda like those crab ranpoons they got down there at China Best down the street. The rest kind of tastes like bugs and salt.

Sometimes people put sarcastic quotation marks around something to deride it, similar to the way people sometimes use air quotes. Quite a while ago some fag on tumblr took it to an extreme with a surplus of quotation marks and it got popular which indicates to a certain type of person that this needs to be done everywhere at any available opportunity. In short he's a low effort poster and you're new as fuck and need to lurk more.

>>15308891
Natto because of vitamin K2. I eat it with every meal. Truthfully I chug it down because it's healty not because it's all that delicious. But I would like to know how to prepare it so it's tasty AND healthy.

My friend is a Japanese model, she makes a shitload of money and lives in one of the richest areas in Tokyo (Ginza). She doesn't eat anything like this at all, for dinner she goes to a 7-11 gets some microwaved rice and some weird fish soup they make. And for breakfast she eats "butter pan" literally buttered bread. Also she hates natto. Most of you guys think Japanese people eat this stuff every day, it's simply not true.

It is a Japanese food that only Japanese can understand.
Tasteless. meaningless. That is the evaluation.
However, for Japanese people, it has a deep and emotional taste.
Real Japanese food. It is now an endangered species.
But now, at this time, such true Japanese food still exists.

Cheap fast food soba was the first meal I ever had in Japan. Discovering its easy availability in train stations was absolutely an object of my praise on my first trip there.
When I moved to Japan friends showed me high end soba restaurants. Those are obviously better, but fast food soba has a place in my heart.
My favorite soba, though, was made by my students.

>>15316893
Thank you.
Today's Japanese food is a hot topic.
However, the Japanese food of the common people is the root of life.
Okonomiyaki was also a small meal for me.
Ramen was also cheap and simple.
The roots of Japanese food for the Japanese were simple.
High-class kaiseki cuisine also competed for a simple taste that made the best use of the taste of the ingredients.
Nowadays, high-class food is a hot topic.
However, I think that the simple taste when the Japanese were still poor is the root of the Japanese taste.
In Japan, it is customary to eat soba on December 31st. Toshikosi_soba.

My korean wife said her grandfather who was a traditional buddhist herbal doctor used to carry rice balls stuffed with the gook version of miso, daenjang, on his long medicinal plant foraging trips into the mountains. Apparently, he lived on that and presumably edible plants, for weeks at a time. She said he also practised and acheived true astral projection, fwiw, although that's more /x/ than /ck/.

>>15317402
A stale copy. Incompetent.

pickled plum and rice

I've added some Jap cooking to my normal recipe lineup.
Simple shit like gyudon for when I'm lazy, Kakuni for topping off soups/Ramen, Jap curry because I think it's better (and easier to make) than most indian curries. When the wife and I have kids you best bet Hotpot night will be like a once a week ordeal, I love hotpot.

>>15317437
This is cool as hell

>>15317178
Have you ever made sushi, anon?

First of all, sushi is rice. Sliced raw fish is called sashimi. Sashimi is pretty easy to make. Sushi is actually very difficult to make really good. It's not too hard to make decent sushi, but there is for sure a learning curve.

I practically lived on tomago kake gohan my senior year of college, literally everything they do with raw egg is based

>>15313427
I'll have you know those curry cubes make for excellent sauces to put on grilled meats or veggies. I often grill up pork chops to serve topped with a nice vegetable curry sauce using curry cubes, a hit of soy sauce, a hit of bbq sauce, and a drizzle of coffee which gives it a nice flavor. Make sure to sear the mushrooms and onions in the pan first to extract all them delicious juices.

>>15318304
Eating rice with eggs isn't unique to Japan. It's done by people in Mexico, Spain, Egypt, India, among other places.
>inb4 it's unique because it's got foorikakay
Furikake can be substituted for generic mixed spice seasoning with MSG

日本語は上手じゃない。
Please understand.

>>15318362
Does anyone else do it with raw egg, though?
The raw egg and soy sauce combo is what makes it taste different from just frying an egg and putting it on top of rice.

>>15318411
Don't Japanese people add soy sauce to everything?
Roasted pork? It's got soy sauce
Grilled fish? Has soy sauce
Okonomiyaki? has soy sauce
Senbei? Have soy sauce
etc. etc.
For them it's like what masala is for Indian people or what red and green salsa are to Mexicans

>>15318438
He wasn't asking about the soy sauce, he was asking about the raw egg.

>>15318452
Raw eggs aren't safe to eat in many countries. It'd be stupid to risk getting salmonella just for the sake of eating raw egg yolks.
>inb4 it's fine to do it in this one first world country with extremely high food safety standards

>>15318491
This is like saying all steak should be cooked medium well because "it's not worth the risk", I haven't had any problems even with cheap eggs because the odds are around 1 in 20,000

>>15318491
>Raw eggs aren't safe to eat in many countries.
>it's fine to do it in this one first world country with extremely high food safety standards
If they aren't safe to eat in many countries, it follows that there are some countries where they are safe to eat. Perhaps a first world country with extremely high food safety standards would be one such place.
Either way, I never got sick eating sukiyaki.

>>15308891
Okonomoykai or Takoyaki. I make both pretty frequently. Shit's good.

>>15311288
I actually have a takoyaki pan and I make them all the time, though I generally use aritficial crab instead of the octopus because 1. Octopus is hard to get where I live and 2. You can't even really taste it in takoyaki it sort of melts into the batter.

Sadly, I've done this. Blend butter with salt, a dash of worcester, half a kiwi, and a sprig of parsley. Push through a strainer. Poke some holes most of the way through an alright roast. Pipe lightly seasoned, grassy, slightly sweet tenderizer-laced whipped butter into roast. It's not exact, but it's definitely an improvement over cheap beef, and close enough to impress.
