Ah, Japan... and the Japanese people.

From the moment they wake, they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue. They live their life in every breath. Every cup of tea, every word they write, every blossom they hold.

That is Bushido. The way of the samurai.

Are you mad about wagyu or Japanese cuisine as a whole?

>>8545911
SAKEEEEEEEEE!!!! SAAAAAAKEEEEEEE!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

>>8545918
Just wagyu. Their cuisine is nice.

I've only seen wagyu with that much marbling

>>8545930
Oh okay

I don't think I've ever had wagyu but I like Japanese food a lot because of how simple it tends to be.

I love beef tataki but I think that's just regular sirloin.

I'd like to try some wagyu sashimi sometime but it doesn't seem like anything I'd want regularly.

I mean, idk about the price tag or most of the hype, but you can't deny that's some nice marbling.
It's just normies taking a good thing and blowing it way out of proportion, if you consider yourself a rational person you should have been aware of this by now

I fucking hate that Japanese green tea with the wheat in it. If I want to drink wheat, I will have beer.

Can only speak for whisky but it's obviously subjective

Some of the best whisky I've had is Japanese, but also Irish, scotch, and bourbon. Depends what you're after

>>8546198
>scotch
I see this term here a lot in liquor threads,what is it?

>>8546207

Whiskey from Scotland.

>>8546207
Whisky that's made a specific way that was first pioneered in Scotland

>>8546210
>>8546208
Ok, I see. Don't Understand why though?

>>8546214

Don't understand why what?

Scotland is famous for their Whisky. It's very well known.

Its not even the japanese fault, its the people who glorify everything they do for some reason

>>8545893

Scotland does.

I think he means the term scotch doesn't refer to Scotland. If you were to refer to the average man from Glasgow as 'scotch' in person you'd probably get a claw hammer across the knee caps.
The Scottish are an aggressive breed.

>>8545893
Basically in the 80s when their economy was doing well they put in a lot of propaganda that their products were superior
Decades later the myth's are still around

>its the people who glorify everything they do for some reason

I don't think anyone does that. But for some reason people think they do.

If you say you like French wine nobody cares. If you say you like German cars nobody cares. If you like Scotch whisky nobody cares. Ditto for English shotguns, Swiss watches, Polish sausage, etc.....

But for some reason if you dare mention you happen to like something Japanese then suddenly you must be a 110% megaweeb that literally worships everything the Japanese have ever done.

>>8546222
(1/2): Trips of truth, I have a problem with Japanese fetishization by Westerners, but it's easy to be in awe by some things they do initially. I know that because I was there. At the start, the things they do seem so mysterious but interesting and intricate.

It's because of a difference in culture. They focus on a singular craft until perfection which demands incredible hard work and innovation.

White people tend to just reinforce an obsessive inferiority complex which just isn't true. But hey, we're on 4chan which is literally the epitome of that. Reply: "Fuck off weeb" if this post was too tryhard.

That's because jap stuff is generally overpriced crap that somehow manages to achieve a cult following.
Drive a BMW and then drive a Honda, no comparison.
Use a custom jap knife and then use a custom American one, you'll realise the japs get the steel treat and geometry wrong every time.
Compare 17th century japanese art to similar European stuff, it's obvious.
The Japanese are good at mass production not craftsmanship.

>>8546254
Not enough room for my evaluation:

>Whiskey: Not superior, but I don't have enough knowledge of it generally.
>Knives: You have to try them to believe them, I hate how weeb knife obsessors claim that Japanese knives are way better. It's really a matter of sharpening. But Japanese knives are different beasts, if you can appreciate craftsmanship and steel.
>Tea: They have interesting methods and great varieties, but other regions do too. I do genuinely think Japanese people are god-tier at coffee though, especially pour-over coffee (v60).
>Beef: A cow is a cow. It's laughable to me that wagyu is just over fattened (mistreated) beef. I much prefer my grass-fed lean well-treated local beef. That's not to say that the Japanese don't have great and interesting beef recipes.

Interestingly, Japanese people are mimicking westerners here and getting into craft beer production and are doing incredibly interesting things with it. There was a Begin Japonology episode on it.

>>8546243
It's because all of the great Japanese things they have now are based on western culture. All those mentioned countries speciality are unique to that country but all of Japan's shit is stolen from the west.

>>8546264
>Implying I'm a weeb
I like genmaicha because it's delicious. I've never tasted a tea I didn't like to be honest.

>>8546264
The only other place that produces green tea in any quantity is China, which grows their crops in literal sewage... So yes, I think anyone would hate that.

What's the big deal? Are you telling me you don't eat the butt?

My family lived in Japan for a while when I was a kid, after my dad's employer got acquired by a Japanese multinational. I enjoyed it a lot. The people were passive-aggressive and quietly superior, but so am I, so that worked out well.

As for the goods, the knives, no question, are made to a higher standard than anywhere else. My family cooks a lot and that was one of the first things I noticed. The cars speak for themselves. The whisky I never had when I was there, because I was a child, but as an adult I have to say it's very good. More interesting than MUH LAFROOG that neckbeards fap over. I don't much care for American corn whisky, but I also enjoy Speyside, probably more than any other region in Scotland. That probably accounts for why I like Japanese whisky. I love sake, especially namazake. I think sake's dismal reputation in the west is largely on account of freshness. I don't care much for tea but as far as I can tell Japan and China have the best in the world. I'd probably say China if I had to pick one. I don't really care about beef, I'll eat it if it's there, but I don't get excited about it. I think they do much more interesting things with vegetables and fish.

I kind of get the feeling op is salty because he has never been outside America and can't handle the idea that America isn't #1 at everything. I wouldn't want to live in Japan because I wouldn't fit in, but it is a really nice place to visit and stay for a while.
>>8545897
Also this.

>>8546243
>If you say you like French wine nobody cares
You must be new here, if you even once enjoyed a French wine the butthurt is astronomical and people start screaming about muh judgment of paris.

They don't.

Honestly, if I was Japanese I'd be fucking pissed off if I was just some stereotypical novelty culture to them.

No wonder they bombed Pearl Harbor.

As for those faggots that think Japan makes the best 'everything', they're just a bunch of retards that believe the katana is the best sword and that never grew up or asked their parents about the time when Japan was what Korea and then China became: cheap manufacturers that eventually had to learn quality control due to competition.

>>8546288
Raw sewage includes pollution and medical waste, it's a little bit more than a bit of butt mud.

>>8546328

I don't buy green tea that costs $1 per pound. It almost sounds like you're just trying to be ignorant and imply all Chinese tea is grown the same.

>>8546334
I will assume the $40'000 Da Hong Pao is grown in medical waste until proven otherwise, can't trust China.

>>8546324
>>8546312
here

Japanese people are a bit more reserved with their butthurt, but I really don't get the sense that they'd be offended if some foreigner had a lot of anime stereotypes about them. Amused, maybe. Possibly a little weirded out if it appears to be entirely based entirely on pornography. But the kind of minority-rights indignation that you are probably projecting on them, based on American domestic race relations, are not at all applicable. Keep in mind, even if you don't see it in America, there are a lot of Japanese in Japan, it's like half the population of the US, and they are relatively ethnocentric, compared to most Western countries. I really doubt most Japanese are worried about people thinking about samurai and sushi. I mean, do Americans get butthurt about some foreigner who wants to see cowboys and eat hamburgers? Don't use /ck/ as an example, because people here will get booty blasted over literally anything and start spamming OBSESSED at the most trivial perceived slight, even if it is not actually a slight. I mean in real life. I don't think so. We know hamburgers are a thing, we like them, maybe our lives don't revolve around them, but if a foreigner comes to visit and their #1 agenda is to eat hamburgers, why the hell not be a good host and let them have their fun? It's probably something like that.

>>8546358

Even if it's grown in literal human shit, it still tastes better than Japanese wheat tea.

And, here comes the steaming hot outrage over nothing, from one of our passportless flyover regulars.

>>8546324
>cheap manufacturers that eventually had to learn quality control due to competition

Lel, no. The US was producing shit quality automobiles and electronics in the 70's and Japan stepped in with far superior products at comparable or better prices and forced the US to get better if they wanted to keep up with Japan. The direct opposite of your assertion, nignog.

>>8546393
Newsflash: This isn't the 17th century any more, buddy. We aren't waiting for your Marco Polo wannabe ass to make the maiden voyage from Japan and grossly misjudge the people.

Most people in the world have traveled (including myself) and somehow have managed to not act like pretentious fuckwits about it, yet you seem to think you taking a shit in japan as a kid gives you some sort of superiority.

Difference between having an opinion and pretending to be some kind of cultural ambassador.

Typical white kid behavior; go sniff some farts over in starbucks fuckhead, not here.

Because most countries have a handful of things they're good at, and you don't really talk about what they make that's shit. Japanese whiskey is often quite good, because one autist learned everything he good from the Scots, and then spent the rest of his life pushing it in Japan. The rest of Jap liquor is mostly garbage.

>>8546457
I'm not white though. And I don't drink Starbucks, although if I could get over my aversion to their '''''coffee''''' I'd like to support them for their public stance on current events.

kobe beef isn't a meme, it actually is better. But it has nothing to do with japan. If we fed our cattle beer and massaged them we'd see just as good marbling in the beef

steel is also a huge industry in japan, and they do legitimately have the hardest steel, which tends to make for really good knives. Although again, its not like you couldn't get a good american or european knife, its just japan is already set up to make top notch ones.

I've never heard the tea and whiskey one, but there is legitimacy to the beef and steel/knives

You don't need to be white to exhibit white kid behavior, just a fuckhead (which you are).
