it would only be an island nation if it doesn't share a boarder with any other country

and I think technically japan as a country counts as a peninsula because it shares a northern boarder with russia even though the mainland is an island itself

Yes it is, the nips just have to much pride to admit it, and the fact that westerners have brought into the meme of Japanese cuisine is prolonging their delusion. Anything good in Japanese cooking was stolen from the chinese. Literally the Britbong cuisine of Asia.

False dichotomy, not wanting to have to hide variations on this thread every other time I refresh the catalog does not mean that I enjoy seeing nonstop fast food threads and e-celeb bullshit.

Im pretty sure the nips overfished their local fish stocks decades ago, which is why they now go around the world buying out whole fisheries and driving species to extinction to feed their chinky eyed population who dont give a fuck about sustainability. If the nips liked tendies like the average Anerican manchild, it probably wouldn't cost me my whole weeks wage to buy a local tuna for special occasions.

This.

Bonito is a dried smoked fish they shave into paper thin slices and it's used in a LOT of their dishes. (Like how curry shit is in most of Indian cuisine.) Lots of soup stocks and broths and marinades have bonito in it. They'll even throw a wad on top for extra flavor and decoration. It's turbo fishy and if I'm being perfectly honest, despite my trolling OP, I don't care for bonito's flavor either.

Sometimes they use fermented things, like miso paste to flavour even pastries. That's where a sort of fishiness comes in, I guess. Unusual but not necessarily bad tho

As much as I want to love Japanese food, I can't. Outside of Ramen and Okonomiyaki most of the food has the same flavor. It's not bad by no means but it isn't isn't on my bucket list when I think of foods to try out. Why is Japanese food taste the same?

fun fact: the genes for fatty acid metabolism follow a geographic trend, and generally increase as you go towards the north and east, with Inuit/Siberians having the highest levels.

The further north/east you go, the less people desaturate their fatty acids. Which of course means that they require more polyunsaturated fatty acids (like from fish, eggs, and pork)

As you go towards the south/west, people desaturate more because they ate diets low in polyunsaturates (plant foods, dairy, coconuts, red meat)

This is incidentally why Asian desserts taste like garbage to our palate, because they're based on salty/yolky flavors rather than on sugar and saturated fat (instead being based on starch and unsaturated fat). Moon cakes have literal whole egg yolks in them.

Generally I am not very into japanese food. Sushi can be nice when its not over the top, but the rest leaves me saying "meh" in my experience. One other exception, though, is japanese hotpot (shabu shabu), which can be very good.

Dude, the Karafuto prefecture (South Sakhalin) was lost after WW2.
Nowadays they are a perfect example of an island nation.

[Anonymous No.14272585]

When I studied abroad in Japan, like half of the people I went there with “didn’t like” fish or seafood, and always complained about food tasting like fish. The end result was that we just left them behind in the dorms to fend for themselves. Picky eaters are on the same level, mentally, as toddlers. They just can’t understand the difference between having preferences and having an actual dietary prohibition. Don’t like seafood? That’s fine with me, but you need to understand that you will be expected to order, eat and pay for a meal of seafood when you go to a seafood restaurant with other people, and you need to do it without complaining. If you can’t do this, then you are not an adult and don’t belong out of your parents house.
