I went to a legit natural hot spring in Costa Rica, it was huge and wound up a mountain so the higher you went the hotter it got. I think it was lava warmed or something.

It was one of the most relaxing things I've ever done.

I wish hot springs were more prominent everywhere.

That's because you have western tastes where everything is drenched in sodium. You can't into the soft palate of japanese foods. Especially kyoto usuaji stuff.

But anon, most jap dishes are pretty sodium intensive when you look at the soy sauce.

It's just condensed milk and black tea, anon. Also, some Asian restaurants should have it, it's actually really popular.

Only Japanese beer worth it is Hitachino Nest. Which is pretty much the Japanese equivalent of an American craft brewery.

Everybody wants Japanese whiskey now anyway, get with the times.

>>116511957
>>116512001
>>116512002
Ichiban has an ABV of 5% and that's one of the most popular beers. In comparsion, Bud Light has an ABV of 4.2%.

>>116512101
>Now that I think about it, it's a lot like american beer.
Please stop calling macro brews "american beer"

The largest actual American owned brewery is Sam Adams, which while not great, is a significant improvement over most macrobrews. Budweiser/etc are all foreign owned companies.

Craft brewing in the USA is now world renowned.

>>116512096
Semi local craft beers. If you can only get macro stuff, Yuengling is pretty good. Some of Sam Adams offerings are halfway decent.

Some varieties of Sam Adams are fine but far from my favorite.
Personally my favorite is (http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/583/32767/) but it's only available 2 or 3 months a year.

From the perspective of normalfags, we are weeaboos. I understand what you're saying even if you're being a faggot about it. You mean that weeaboos are those who forsake their own culture for their misguided idea of japanese culture. We only care for the nerdy shit they produce; but, we're still like them. I'd say we aren't true weeaboos; but, we are weebs, in the same way the echidna isn't a true mammal, despite being a mammal.

Japanese whiksey is indeed supposed to be extremely good. Unfortunately is is overpriced and most certainly over-hyped. A lot of people say that it is trying to hard to be scotch and not letting itself be more Japanese. Maybe this is a good thing, who knows.

>>116513199
Well considering Makers is bourbon with a mashbill consisting of mostly corn, and Yamakazi is made in the style of scotch and consists of 100% malted barely and is also finished in various barrels of sherry or whatever, they would certainly taste different regardless of if you are big into whiskey or not.

>Still thinking sodium has any direct relation with HBP or heart disease

http://time.com/3313332/salt-and-blood-pressure/

Also sodium is water soluble but not fat soluble, meaning your body doesn't store it. If you have too much of it you piss it out. If you have working kidneys you should have no problems with salt.

>>116514434
Because it's fun.

>>116512837
I am drinking quite a lot of sake. Not that I am a drinker but I can't number the bottles I drunk anymore.

It started out in around 2008 I also wanted to try sake out of curiosity, so me and my brah drunk a bottle together. At first it seemed to taste not like much. But then an entire world of taste developes.

Sake should be considered a wine. Check youtube for how to differentiate between sake brands and especially check out how sake is made.

If you care for a good glass of wine, you could also soon care for a good glass of sake. Just don't get the cheapest one you can find, it might ruin this wonderful world in some sips.

Just go to a bar that sells a great choice of whisky and drink yourself through the menu (of course only 2cl shots) You will soon find out the cheaper whiskey's will have less taste, worse aftertaste and smaller bouket and won't be smooth compared to the "better" ones. (But there can also be cheap "good" whiskey, this is why you should just try them all)

Most important thing is to properly drink it. Not just chugging it down, but keep it in your mouth and let it get to body temperature, exhale and inhale trough you nose to get the full bouquet etc.

Also a very kind hint, never drink any beer after you drank whiskey, the beer will taste like shale piss, whatever beer it is.

I also don't appreciate bourbon (yet). I have not tried a lot of bourbon besides Jack Daniels and like three others and I find the extreme Vanilla taste displeasing. I drank a fair share of scotch and Irish whiskey thou.

Also really try to warm up the whiskey in your mouth (takes quite a little time) this changes the entire experience. I also thought Cognac just tastes sharp, but then Remy Martin suddenly tastes like heaven :3

Good luck in finding a good taste!

Well you definitely put more effort into drinking liquor than I ever did.
Think the only kind I ever let sit just for the taste was Cpt. Morgan's 1671 rum. (By far the best I've had.)

It most certainly was.
And aside from the 1671 their Taboo and Private Reserve versions are great too. I like how they have a good spectrum of spiced rums.
Taboo for extra sweet/fruity, PR for more spice, regular for saving cash/mixing, and 1671 for having a mouthgasm.

>>116516799
I find Red bean paste delicious, the texture not so much, but the flavor itself is nice.

>>116516055
How can you even fuck up this bad?

>>116516893
Alright I'll give it a try.

There's a Jap shop inside of a big bank building in NYC which tastes really fucking cash The Citi building if anyone is from NYC here
Go there for udon maybe once a week for lunch and made friends with the chef

>>116516620
Thanks, I will try some then as well

>>116516813
How do you even fuck up rice?

>>116516955
>>116517005

I don't know, I try everything.

Washing the rice, not washing the rice. Soaking it, not soaking it.

It's always either just a sticky mess or dried to all hell.

Sometimes I get close but it's just still never quite as good as I would have hoped.

I'm great on a grill or drum smoker and all that, but I just can't make good rice at all.

>>116516813
can you tell me what is lackin in the rice you are cooking

>>116517051
How much do you wash it? Do you mix it before you drain?

>>116517005
Japanese rice is very finicky. That's why they rely on those automated cookers to do it for them.

I've tried it a couple times, but both were so different from one another that I really want to go to an actual reputable place for it

>>116517051
It's literally just putting the shit in the cooker and pressing a button.

>>116517128
That is something I want to try
Beat me to it

>>116517106
see
>>116517051

The texture is always completely off.

>>116517121
I've tried just tossing it in the cooker all the way to washing it until the water runs clear. I do it in a metal strainer and mix it somewhat continuously.

>>116517122
Expensive cookers, at that.

>>116516055

Buy an zojirushi or panasonic rice cooker. My parents have used that panasonic rice cooker literally almost every day for the past 12 years.

>>116517287
It can't be. The rice from the local asian places is all significantly better. It's the texture I can't get down, not the taste.

>Thinking Kirin Ichiban, Sapporo, and Asahi are the only japanese beers

they're the shit beers of japan.

Equivalent to Bud, Coors, and Miller.

>>116517051
it is literally 2 step
wash rice 2 times ( or until the water is clear)
fill water until it on the first line of your index finger when you touch the surface of rice.

you add oil or salt if you want to

>>116517209
I put cold water in and mix it using my hands for like 30 seconds then drain and repeat 4 times, fill the pot until the water level rises as far as the top crease of your index finger from the top of the rise then put into the cooker, it always comes out fluffy and soft from my experience.

>>116517326
You do know that you're supposed to toss the rice lightly when it's done right?

>>116517335
Gross. Indian curry is a crime against humanity.

I wanna try one of those things they always ate on Doraemon.

>>116517335
indian is just bull shit and peppers

>grab some pocky to eat on lunch break at work
>line is kind of long whatever
>put pocky on counter without looking up
>get debit card out of my wallet
>"Oh anon you like pocky too?"
>qt azn cashier smiling at me

It's not worth the heart attack.

has anyone tried make simple japanese dish like Gyūdon

>>116517372
I've tried a plethora of rices.

>>116517423
Tried this, still doesn't come out right.

>>116517442
I don't know if I have long fingers or what but that makes my rice come out soggy as hell.

>>116517455
Yes.

>>116517685
have you consider frying your if they are too soggy

>>116517768

That only good for reheating rice. Toss in it a pan w/ a small amount of water, let it heat until the water boil, stir casually until all the excess water is evaporated.

>>116517768
Before or after cooking it? I've tried before and it didn't seem to do much. And I don't always want fried rice.

>>116517806
I can't help it, it's just so sexy.

>>116511360
The guy all the way to the left is just barely pulling it off, and it's probably because of the low resolution.

Spicy Indian curry > any Jap shit.

>eating curry
I don't want to smell like shit all day.

Hagen Das green tea ice cream is amazing and usually available at most grocery stores. Green tea frappuccinos from Starbucks are also great and are basically the same flavor.

>>116516619

They work hard, and you can hire some to mow your lawn or clean your house. They're more like the Mexicans of asia.

>>116513173
I've made green tea cheesecake before, and it's pretty damn awesome.

>>116513637
Is that Marlboro flavored coffee all the way to the right?

>>116518060
They even speak spanish, don't they?

>>116517928
>>116517897

generally if my rice i too soggy i just throw it in the pan for a few min to remove the excess water. it not prefect but it does the job for me

>>116515288
That's how I felt when I was buying Spice & Wolf in a store, worst part was that it had the original western cover.
