Why is Japanese food so pretentious? Especially when it's

You sound fat and sad. Good luck.

I can't find the subscribe button for this blog, can anyone help?

>ramen to go
Just buy a pack of instant ramen if that's what you want

>>8518876
That's the point I'm making, retard. The food itself is good but isn't overly complex or difficult, and yet hipsters insist on making every Japanese food item out to be some divine mystery with perfectly balanced flavor that can only be eaten in an exact and specific way or it tastes like shit

They're worse than wine snobs almost. I actually had some faggot tell me once that you can't eat sushi with a fork because it, quote, "bruises the fish," as if my fucking teeth wont be doing that in 2 seconds anyways

>>8518879
maybe you need a 4chan gold account

>>8518880
Then you have to make all the other stuff and add it yourself, like the vegetables and pork and egg, and I don't have time for that. Their menu online looked really good, it's just a shame the guy was a douchebag

>>8518883
Probably, anyway back to the matter in hand, is OP a colossal faggot?

>>8518868
That's really stupid and snobby, I'm with you OP

If they knew the first thing about the food they're serving, they'd give you the noodles in their dry form so you can go home and boil the water yourself f a m i l y

If I ever saw some white college faggots serving glorious nippon food I'd leave

>you can't have ramen to go in japan

Why did your gf dump you though?

>>8518969
Because she's a whore. We're both juniors in college. We've been dating since high school, but her whore friends have convinced her she needs to spend her college years partying and hooking up with different people and she's "wasted" 3 years of college being with me, apparently, even though we've both been pretty happy. I buy her expensive shit, I've taken her on vacations to Europe and South America, and I bought her a car. Anyone who tells you that you shouldn't judge your girlfriend by her friends is a fucking liar. If your girlfriend/wife has friends who are whores, it should be an immediate red flag. She told me that maybe after college we could get back together but fuck that noise
>>8518888
checked

>>8518981
This is genuinely upsetting.
Sorry bro. You'll find someone better.

I don't know about Japan, but the Singaporean-Chinese equivalent of ramen, lamian, can be had for take out. You're given three containers, one with noodles and one with soup while the third may be a plastic baggy or another container and will contain the meat, veg and toppings. I've seen this done in HK and Macau, too, as well as non-Chinese-speaking countries (Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia) with local varieties of noodle soup. While I've never been to Taiwan, I'd be surprised if it weren't common there as well.

I find it hard to believe that the Japanese wouldn't do something similar.

>>8518981
You sound like a huge cuck.

>>8518993
Why? It's not like she told me this and I put up with it for a while. She just told me last night that that's what she wanted and left me. I'm not trying to get back with her and I wouldn't take her back after what she said. A cuck would be someone who actually said "okay" to getting back together after she rides the cock carousel for 2 years

>>8518981
>fuck that noise

Yup. If I translate that proposition of hers in Men's language, she said :

"I'm getting bored of sleeping only with you / I'm feeling guilty about cheating on you, I'm just gonna go away for a while and ride as many dicks as I can find, but when I'm done with college you can come back and buy me more expensive stuff and take care of me again, alright?"

Also, Ramen shop is a fuck.

Burn it all down, and start anew. Cheers.

>>8518981
That's why you effectively redpill your gf on each and every one of their friends so they take comfort in you. I would point out the flaws of the friends my girlfriend had, and now she has none aside from the ones we're both equally close to. The friends we have view us as a duo so there's no preference or bias from the people we know. I may sound like some controlling freak, but it was nothing more than "oh ____ really doesn't have an off switch does she?" and then I'd watch the distance occur naturally.

It sucks that that happened to you, and I agree that friends are a judgement of character. Although, at the same time, consider that you didn't do a good enough job of integrating into what's around you (if these people are around you that is). Did you hang out or interact with these friends of hers? Do they think you're a good person - both yourself and to their friend that you're dating?

from what I'm reading it sounds like you spoiled the girl which is good - but only good if you were equally romantic and serious with her, otherwise you were nothing more than an endless wallet. Her friends have a groupthink mentality and you either
>didn't know your gf like you thought you did
or
>your gf is bored and will lap up any sort of reasoning she has to leave

what a great thread, it's totally not a thinly disguised personal blog at all. OP's gf ditching his tiny cock for all the cocks is totally food & cooking.

>>8519012
An American. I don't eat with my hands when I eat Middle Eastern or Indian food, why would I use chopsticks with Asian food? To be more "authentic?" Half the sushi you find in America is bastardized Anglicized versions drenched in sauce and other shit anyways, not exactly authentic to begin with.
>>8519005
I'm acquainted with her friends, we hang out every now and then. I don't really understand why they told her this stuff. They always tell her how lucky she is to have a guy as nice as I am and they all wish they had a boyfriend like that blah blah blah. But they all also like going out and partying, and she wouldn't do that with them very much. Not because I said no but because she used to respect our relationship. She would ask them why she should go out and drink just to have an endless stream of guys trying grinding on her or hitting on her. The past year she's really been changing a lot. Dressing slutty, going out more, and just acting "different." She stopped doing a lot of the cute things we did together as a couple, and all of the pictures she'd put up on snapchat and Instagram became less about us and more about her and showing off her makeup or her outfit. I should have seen this coming a while ago but I suppose I was too trusting. She was my first girlfriend, the only girl I've ever had sex with, and I really love her (inb4 some miserable 30 year old comes in to tell me a 21 year old doesn't know what love is)

So yeah, it really sucks, and I'm really heartbroken, but I think I can find someone who appreciates all that I have to offer, and isn't willing to throw it away for meaningless sex for a few years.

>>8519026

>>8519026
That's a good amount of sage.

>>8519041
It really isn't. Weebs will tell you that the sushi chef has to do super secret samurai training to cut a piece of raw fish at exactly the right angle and make sticky rice. Obviously that's bullshit. Sushi is just about showing off the ingredients, nothing more, there is very little skill required on the part of the """chef""". Do you have a good source of fresh fish? Good rice? Good wasabi? Great, you'll have great sushi.

And even if sushi is made with great ingredients, it really isn't all that great. It's very one dimensional. The rice is essentially just a vehicle for the fish, and contributes little to the flavor other than some acidity and texture. And the fish is obviously one note. It's just pretentious. I would rather eat a sushi roll covered in sauce and sesame seeds and vegetables from the local Japanese buffet than pay $600 for a "pure" experience at some pretentious Japanese sushi bar

>>8518981
Sounds like she used you for your money and then decided to ditch you once college was almost over.

don't worry about it

>>8519048
Sorry you're poor
>>8519050
No, she hasn't been. I know the one thing about her that won't change is that she's very loyal when she's in a relationship. And I just said these changes have only really been happening the past year. It's possible that maybe she's made out with a guy at a party while we were still together, but I highly doubt she slept with anyone else and it certainly hasn't been for the "entire time we've been together." Like I said, we were really happy up until these past few months. She dumped me so she could go out and fuck other guys, not because she's been fucking them already.
>>8519049
Thanks man. It's going to be hard not to talk to her if she contacts me to be honest. She even told me already that she still wants to be friends. But I deserve better than a whore like that, so she can fuck off. Wish I could get back all the jewelry and shit tho

>>8519060
She didn't use me for my money. As I've said multiple times in the thread, we were really happy and in love up until just a few months ago when I started noticing the changes in her. Her friends have been slowly convincing her that college is for nothing more than fucking strangers and that having a committed relationship with someone you could spend the rest of your life with is a waste of time.

Anyways, I didn't make this thread to talk about my girlfriend. I wanted to talk about pretentious Japanese food, so can we drop it?

>>8519073
She pretended to be happy because you bought her lots of expensive stuff. She was a gold digger and you are a beta

>>8518868
>calling some guy with a gf a cuck
>when you just got dumped

Yep, it's definitely not you that's the cuck

>>8519083
Whatever you say, fag. I didn't even start buying her any expensive shit until about 2 years ago when I came into a lot of money. We've been together since freshman year of high school. She must have been able to see 5 years into the future that I would suddenly have a ton of money available to buy her jewelry and take her to tour Europe

>>8519090

>>8519073
If she was really happy and in love her friends wouldn't be able to change that.

>>8519100
Well clearly she got bored with me. As I said before, we've been together for about 7 years. I'm guessing her friends convinced her that she can't be with just one person her whole life and that she needed to experience different people. I guess I kinda dodged a bullet, I was going to propose after college. I'd rather have this happen now than when we were married.

Can we stop talking about my fucking girlfriend? I didn't come here to listen to a bunch of virgins give me relationship advice, I came to talk about shitty Japanese food

I work two jobs and currently spend at least 8 hours a day either in class or studying. I literally don't have time to make all that shit. I just wanted a bowl of noodles made for me that I could take home and cry into and watch The Godfather but Carl the Cuck and his feminazi girlfriend wouldn't let me because it conflicted with the bushido samurai code about ramen or some shit

Why are poor white trash so triggered by "foreign" food that isn't Fazoli's?

Isn't there a character in Persona that specically drives around delivering ramen? Or where those bowls or other stuff?

When will you learn to prioritize yourself.

Also, I have a place next to my apartment (Chicago) that does the same thing. You have to order it, and then put it in the togo containers yourself. You cant call and order it to go. At best, its an oversight by the owners.

You don't deserve ramen.

>>8518868

They didn't want you to get home and eat a shitty bowl of ramen and then tell everyone how shitty their ramen was. It's not that difficult to understand.

>>8518981

Haha! My wife's friends tried to get her to break up with me when we were in uni. She got new friends. You're a faggot who wasted years of your life on a whore thinking you could buy her love! What a faggot!

Op whats your ex's number?
Also how do you feel about the fact that by now she has had at least one dick in her?

Stay and eat there, don't tip, explain it's Japanese custom if they decide to be so strict.

I've been to plenty of noodles place, where when I order to go, they just give me different containers for soup and noodles.

>>8518981

listen, chicks like this don't view cheating the same way you do. They can make out with dudes, that's not cheating it's "just having fun" they can give handies and blowjobs and it's not cheating because "ugh, he just wouldn't go away until I did something" they can have sex and its not cheating because "I was drunk things got out of hand teehee or "I just let him do it, I wasn't in to it" or "it was only once and I don't like him so it's not cheating"

I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, but this is a completely real phenomena and until you have your first grown up relationship and set actual boundaries and talk things out as adults, this is what goes on, esp. at college.

As someone who's been on the receiving end of some pretty shit yelp reviews, I can see their end of things:

The last thing they need is some dickhead taking a tub of ramen to go, letting it sit for half a day, and complaining to the farthest reaches of the internet that the place has shit, soggy noodles. I used to go so far with my pho as to box the broth, the noodles, and the goodies separately. Then I'd get complaints that the noodles were stuck together (it's noodle fucking soup man, warm up the broth if it's cold, and toss the shit in. Give it a stir.)

I can understand this, to a certain extent.

I mean, look at the pic you attached. That nicely cooked egg is gonna be way overdone if it gets tightly packed and steamed for x minutes. Same thing applies to many other ingredients that can be included with ramen.

Second, maybe they don't give a fuck about the integrity of the dish, but idiots go on Yelp, etc. and write dumb shit after taking a half hour to get food home.

also the fact that you used "millenial" and "cuck" in the same sentence makes me side with them, not you.

"Before you begin scrambling up the ladder of success, make sure that it is leaning against the right building"
Stephen Covey


“Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they’re trying to find someone who’s going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.”
– Anthony Robbins

speaking as a girl, I cant give any straight facts or experiance but if I were dating anyone from /ck/ on average you're all basic eating cucks who hate anything that isn't the burger :DDD so I would have to resort to eating any dick i could find for some veriety.

Why didn't you just tell him you would eat it there then walk out when you got the food?

>>8522359

That's exactly right. Order food, eat it, don't pay, and leave. If in some alternative universe an employee collared you and you didn't hurt anyone, the police will be like wtf, you're bothering us because a scumbag ripped you for a $20.00 shit meal? You think I'm going to fill out the paperwork for that bullshit you piece of shit? Then you walk, period. Sorry, petit bourgeoise, you don't get protected.

Minimalists don't own toasting implements.

>>8518992
Because ramen is visually pleasing that is hard to recreate for takeouts without resulting in overcooking the noodles. They actually have to only parboil noodles a certain texture if it needs to be delivered in Tokyo so once it reaches the destination, it would (usually) have the desired texture.

Minimalism is the idea that you can simplify your life by having less items, but it actually complicates your life because you need to find people with tools. You're not a fucking god, give in to your nature and buy a toaster or become an animal in the forest eating shit.

>Why is Japanese food so pretentious? Especially when it's done by white people?

White people, especially americans, tend to see authentic asian cuisine as gross so they don't eat it. They also don't really distinguish between Korean/Chinese/Japanese/etc. So they get off on making asian food, which is supposed to be disgusting to pleb american tastes, look as pretty as possible. And then shoving it in the faces of their pleb friends, as if they're some enlightened cross-cultural god when all they've done is make a basic japanese dish.

What gets me is that there's always a boiled egg somewhere in there, like people at home just mass-boil a bunch of eggs to enhance their meals over the week.

>>8518882
It's simple, but highly refined. I hate sounding pretentious, but that's just how it is.

I live in Japan. There is a ramen shop near me that does a great job with the dilapidated 80s bowling alley vibe. I ordered some and they asked me if I wanted oil in it. Fuck yeah. Came with about a half centimeter of oil. Tasted like shit and made me sick half an hour later...but in a good way. Everyone in that restaurant would have laughed their asses off if they encountered your stupid millennial pretension hell. Ramen is the food of truckers and yakuza. Want fancy? Serve teishoku dipshit.

I don't go to any hipster place if it looks like they're going to overcharge or tell me how I need to eat my food. I'll enjoy it how I want and if you press too hard I'll take a photo of it when it comes out the other end and send it!

>>8525408
Yes. I remember those places, and they were dirt cheap too. Some of them were so efficient I didn't need to talk to anybody and could just use a vending machine to get a ticket and hand the ticket to the cook. Great at the end of the day when I was exhausted.

>>8525526
>Tasted like shit and made me sick half an hour later

>>8518868
You went to a shitty restaurant anon
I've never been to a ramen place that doesn't offer it up to go. Ramen isn't an upscale dining experience, it's almost fast food.
We even have a place that does delivery around me.
I've never experienced this specific japanese food snobbery you have either. Japanese food is mostly just simple dishes that emphasize balance of flavors and fresh ingredients
I've never experienced a terrible, overpriced, convoluted japanese dish, but I do see it a lot in modern American and European these days.

>>8519531
>don't tip, explain it's Japanese custom
Kek. It's even offensive in Asia to tip, it imply the person is some kind of dirty beggar.

Also, every ramen I know has take out. Either they throw everything in the same bowl and expect you to eat it within half an hour or give you separate containers for liquid, noodles and vegs/meat if they're fancy enough to give away 3 containers.

Maybe you went to an upscale place, but then you should have acted as racist as a weabo trumptard for them being white.

I usually include an egg in at least one meal if I'm not having any meat that day. Sometimes that's in instant ramen. Good source of calories and protein.

>>8529457
...it came from rice rationing post ww2 when the americans gave a lot of flour to the japanese and they had no cultural history of bread, so they ended up battering and frying a lot of meals. Look at the history of osaka and all it's tempura and battered dishes.

Also deep frying pork in batter isn't a AOC

Also the japanese don't hammer flat their pork products for schnitzel like the austrians do in their cuisine

Japanese people also have some weird customs about regular food you might elsewhere.

>dat feel when I found they don't like crust on their meat
I was shocked when I ordered a steak and chef kept fucking fiddling with it on purpose so it doesn't form a crust on either side.

>>8518868
It's their food, they can serve it however they want. You are a literal cuckold calling other people cuckolds.

>>8525538
Ramen is legitimately fast food but to be honest it doesn't strike me as the type of thing you take out.
I mean, everything else aside, you can literally finish the entire bowl in less than five minutes for the most part.

>>8518882
I mean I see your point, but considering there's resturants that do nothing but sashimi and all, there's probably some level of skill involved.

>>8529684
Ramen is basically a Japanese interpretation of Chinese food. The most important things about this kind of stuff is quality of ingredients and all the precursor work that goes into the stock and sides. Decent, but fast food for working folk.

It's like Buzzfeed going into a truck stop and trying to gentrify cheeseburger and fries so I can understand the apprehension when a hipster tries to put some spin on it.

>>8518981
you shouldnt pay that much for your gf in your college years ever, thats the time where money really shouldnt play a role on either side and by spending that much you basically tell her youre insecure.
desu that goes for almost any relationship ever til it reaches the point of marriage.

What was this Jap film about a ramen chef (and what was the Americanised version with a white chick as the chef) learning how to make the perfect ramen?

The owners of OP's restaurant probably saw it and didn't get that ramen is still technically fast food, even if you romanticise the fuck out of it.

>>8518886
You wasted all this time on a pointless thread, just so you can bitch about some guy, his gf, and your ex gf who's probably getting some right now while you claim you "don't have time for that."

You sound like a whiny bitch. I bet they use to let people order to go and another whiny bitch like you brought the food back hours later claiming that it was shitty or not fresh or whatever and threw a fit interrupting their customers and business. So they decided to stop providing takeout to get rid of the bitch. I'm sure they don't need the money from someone so self centered and petty as you.

>>8519056
Well there is an art to cutting the fish so that it looks large and hangs off the edges of the rice, but is actually a thin sliver just thick enough to be opaque. Also you have to make the ball of rice small so the fish seems larger by comparison. If you do it right, then you can charge 8 dollars for two teaspoons of rice and 2/3oz. of fish.

op femanon here

rarely need to admit i'm a woman for a post, but you're right. women are immensely driven by social pressure and would rather fit in than act according to their own morals. men don't believe that because they're usually more driven by their own morals than social pressure, so everyone thinks she was already a whore, but, she probably doesn't want to lose all of her friends for you. she might not value you as much as you thought she did, but i've seen this play out over and over before, friends pressuring girls to dump their boyfriends because they don't like something about him, something random. you disagree with a female friend and they drop you very quickly

it fucking sucks for women to pick between being alone or being just as petty as the awful women they could surround themselves with, and most of them pick the latter bc we're the more social half
