I haven't had much japanese food but playing Yakuza 0 made me really want to try takoyaki

i love takoyaki

AND ONIGIRI

It's logical if you see the food history from italy --> china --> japan.

---->romania

but not korean lol

>>9394798
Depends on where you get them but they look better than they taste in my opinion. Then again I am not the biggest octopus fan in general. If you want the closest comparison I can think of is that I would say that it is kinda like slightly fishy thanksgiving stuffing without any vegetables in it. Just a savory light breading around a single octopus tentacle with a punch of pretty toppings that don't really fundamentally change the flavor of the takoyaki.

>>9396077
Breh, Takoyaki comes with all kinds of fillings. It's not just octopus.

>>9396077
>>9396244
Most octopus I've tasted just tasted like fresh-water fish but that's because it was young ones braised for hours. Takoyaki usually is more about the sauces, and breading, being done properly. Sushi or sashimi varies dramatically depending on the quality and age of the animal.

>>9396244
I've always thought it should be mini okonomiyaki and literally every Japanese person I've described this idea to states the fucking obvious that its called takoyaki so of course it can only contain octopus.

Where exists this "takoyaki" with a filling other than octopus because its not Japn?

>>9396274
I can't specify but I know I've seen those little doughball served alongside takoyaki but with different meat inside.

Can someone share some ramen informations? I want to get into it but I have next to no idea about how to properly make one and the techniques and ingredients involved.
Instantards can fuck off.

>>9394240
Is it okay if I put sour cherries in my donuts instead of plums?

>>9396368
Why don't you fucking google it? It's literally pasta.

>>9396368
>buy spaghetti
>buy beef broth
boom. you got yourself some basic ramen.
now go throw a hotdog or something in it.

Food pics from Japan.

The problem with real Japanese food is that it's incredibly bland.
To make it edible you really need to add western ingredients such as hot sauce etc.
I notice in Japan that the younger generations are adopting a much more varied western diet although this inevitably includes junk such as McDonald's and KFC.

>>9396282
>breh I saw it this one time trust me

>>9396432
This is also because there are plenty of products that have sugar and other things hidden inside it that actually diverts from what it should be tasting like. I mean ketchup here even has sugar in it and I remember as a kid hating whipped cream from germany cause it tasted bland only to find out they put no sugar in it.

The only thing I have a problem with is that Japanese chocolate gives me headaches, I have tried various kinds but even their kitkat's give me a headache an hour after eating.

>>9396441
Don't post if you have nothing to ask. Your question was shit and you could literally have typed it into google and gotten the answer instantly.

>>9396480
Mate, weebs are fucking dumb. You need to take this into account when you post. They have literally infested this board.

>>9396480
dont post

>>9396485
Yeah, that's my bad I guess.
It's just so fucking dumb. It's not even lazy at this point, just straight up moronic.
It's like if some old lady has trouble reading the newspaper so she phones up a friend to read the newspaper out loud to her when she could have just used the glasses sitting right next to her on the table.

>>9396440
Must be all that radiation.

>>9396282
Bro, that isn't even takoyaki anymore, it's legit something else. Octopus ball is not the same without the octopus.

>>9396505
North Korea is going to give them another dose soon.
All the weebs will be in meltdown.

>>9396512
Yeah, I'm just saying you can get those without octopus and something else instead.
It's not a magic food that only functions when powered by an octopus core.

>>9396432
Doesn't seem to be bland to me. To be fair, this was home style cooking from my Japanese teacher. Personally it just tastes like Chinese food to me. I'm Chinese btw.

>>9396505
>>9396516
>retarded murrilards put their ignorance on display
Cool.

>>9396519
Chinese/Japanese I guess it's all the same.

>>9396521
It depends on the region but where my family is from, they cook with similar flavors. Probably because that is where Japanese people visited. The region is guangdong. Also Japanese has a few similar sounding words that mean the same in Cantonese and Japanese.

well if you wanna eat the real japanese food you should go in japan, but not in the city but in some rural area for taste the real japanese food

:)

>tfw not wealthy so can't travel to Japan annually if I want to see other countries

I miss the food.

japanese food is like a drug for me

We had this place Nomiya open near our house. Place has like 4 tables, and a bar you can stand at. But holy shit they make a good bowl of fucking ramen. A bit expensive but absolutely worth it. I'll post the menu.

Grilled. I couldn't eat the heads, though.

So how do you eat that, did you slice it up using the chopsticks?

chopsticks

>>9397210
it's shishamo you just eat the whole thing bite by bite. tails and heads are crunchy

eat today sushi

>>9394798
So delicious, in my town in South-East England there was a little stall that came through Wednesdays and...Saturdays I think. Couple of years back mind you. First time I went there I got Takoyaki because I loved seafood, and then each time I went there I got the same thing

If English travelling asians can make it taste good, I can't imagine how wonderful the real, "authentic" deal tastes

>>9397081
I make it a lot during the winter. Good shit with shrimp and scallop.

I had no food in the fridge except for some rice and eggs, so I made omurice today. It was a lot better than I'd expected.

shrimp are delicious

>>9396518
I think tako literally means octopus, so takoyaki without octopus wouldn't technically be takoyaki

Made some tenpura udon for the first time. God bless bonito.

>>9398311
yep, the generic filling versions (which almost never get made anymore) are radioyaki

>>9398311
Yes, I know.

What are some lazy (quick) Jap food? I currently make a beef bowl and I want more easy comfort food.

>>9398810
Rice balls. Takeout-style fried rice (egg in with hoisin or oyster rather than egg first/soy last). Yakisoba buns. Hiyashi chuka. Curry rice. Just plain a bowl of rice with some furikake. Grilled fish. Salisbury steak, if you have access to decent premixed sauces and don't need to add five steps replicating ponzu or chuno from scratch.

>>9400020
>mitsuba
gross

>>9398871
Not that guy, or Japanese, but omurice? Good quality rice with an egg, yolk still liquid, is pretty delicious. The quality of rice is important; harvest from the same year has a floral scent and flavor. And if you can get good soy sauce I recommend it. Fish sauce seems to be an acquired flavor world-wide but you could try it.

Salisbury steak is pretty universal if he's in north-america; but I believe Japan also has a version of breaded-fried steak. And the sauce meant for tonkatsu seems to work with most meats.

>>9400022
It is shiso.

>>9400025
Salisbury steak is nominally western, but at least to a northeast US palate it's definitely yoshoku. I don't think I've ever seen it as anything but a dry hamburger patty with mashed potatoes and maybe gravy here, definitely not the demiglaces or soy-and-citrus sauces that go on the beef-pork patties of the Japanese version.

I WANT TO GO IN JAPAN TT

>>9404179
There is plenty of food in Japan that doesn't involve seafood or tofu.
Heck, I'm vegetarian and I've survived in Japan for the better part of a decade just fine.

Making real ramen for the first time tonight, albeit westernized. Using chicken broth w/ soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, and maybe some sriracha. Ichiban noodle packet. Pan fried chicken sliced thin. Soft boiled egg. Scallions. Bean sprouts. What else am I forgetting?

>>9394240
How do you make/cook OP's image? The eggs look super tasty.

seafood is life

>>9394240
Anybody on /ck/ enjoy and/or make their own Tsukemono?

>>9394240
all the 'real' ramen i've had has been less flavorful than those instant noodle packets

always depressing

>>9405152
You're just use to too much salt in your ramen.

>>9400329
Holy fuck. I may not know much Japanese, but I know cringe when I see it.

>>9405546
I take it back. Cringe at first but really cool. Thanks, anon.

I'm starving I want some ramen

>>9405136
I enjoy tsukemono, I think my favorite has to be those salty and sour plums.

Not really sure how healthy they are though

Okonomiyaki is the best Japanese food and doesn't usually involve seafood

I miss:
tonkatsu teishoku (all the ones ive found back in the states are dry and like cardboard, not juicy. also no one wants to give it to you with karashi for some reason.)
those pickled veggies you get as appetizers in some Japanese restaurants. forget what theyre called.
proper tuna nigiri sushi. tastes like butter.
onigiri with stuff inside.
convenience store sushi rolls. with mayo.
that breaded chicken cutlet with tartar sauce they had in a restaurant in the town I lived in.
just soy flavor potato chips. all the ones in the u.s. also have wasabi added to them.

Japanese food I don't miss:
that wet rice porridge shit you were served at the end of nomikai parties
shochu. potato alcohol tastes like garbage, like watered down vodka. unless it was warmed up in cold weather, in which case it was nice.
okonomiyaki. the only amazing one I had was in Osaka, tasted like sex, all the rest I had were OK not amazing.
ramen. overrated food.

>>9406754
I forgot actual miso soup, with greens, tofu, and scallions in it you eat with chopsticks. much better than the broth with nothing in it you get in the states.

>>9406644
Yakiniku? Looks like a very Korean meal, especially with the kimchi sides.

what do you think of omurice?

>>9397070
I don't like that you have to pay extra to get the standard ingredients. Just throw it all in and charge a bit extra for a proper bowl

>>9397070
>17.50 to 18 dollars for properly loaded

What the actual fuck

How much have you traveled? Because not much, evidently

the best ramen I have ever eat was in korea

This is a kind of beef bowl, but the source is special.
This sauce is called Shio-dare(塩ダレ,salt saurce.)

What the hell do you think a sausage or a hotdog is? Do you think farmed salmon is pink naturally? What about head-cheese; are we okay with broken meat held together with collagen and preservatives like salt and niter?

quit being so butthurt, you nip, he obviously meant the flavor is nasty, cus i've tried it, and its very nasty. like fishy playdoh.

Start there nonny, there's some recipes.

I haven't made tonkotsu ramen yet, as that seems to be the most complex/intimidating type of broth. I've made soy sauce ramen using chicken broth as the base, and I've also made miso ramen but I kinda cheaped out and used instant dashi or beef broth depending on convenience. Miso makes for a super delicious broth though!

It was actually another anon who helped with the chicken broth. I winged it from given instructions - boiled chicken bones for about five hours (started off with some carrots, garlic and onions) and about halfway through I added dried shiitake mushrooms, konbu (kelp), and ginger. I definitely overdid with the ginger but the soup was still tasty and had a pleasant consistency. I just added random toppings but there's recipes for how to make the chashu pork, etc.

I don't bother making my own noodles. Tbh it just sounds like a lot of work that I'm not prepared to do. Maybe someday tho.

>>9410474
>Do you think farmed salmon is pink naturally?
>Farmed
>natural
And yes, I don't know about japan but in Norway we add stuff to the feed which naturally colors the fish like it would be in nature. It's not injected later.
Also salmon isn't pink. It's orange.
>implying anyone eats headcheese
Even the name is repulsive.

>>9410506
>assuming I'm Japanese
Heh. You didn't just miss the dartboard, you hit the unfortunate bartender.

You aren't supposed to take bites out of it like a stick of beef jerky fella. I'm not arguing a chunk of fish isn't better but saying it's disgusting is going a bit far.

Japanese food is so bland. It's raw fish, algae and rice. Rarely is there anything besides it. And it's also usually served cold. Yeek!

>>9410539
>being triggered by other people's preferences
Unless you're going to dictate how everyone feels about things it is safe to assume he probably found the taste legitimately disgusting.

>>9410531
>Also salmon isn't pink. It's orange.
Or outright red depending on where it's from.

>in Norway
It's my fault for making assumptions but usually I find people from the Scandinavian region to be less judgemental and presumptious.

>>9410561
Yeah, that was my only post though. I'm not >>9409578

>>9410586
The only downside to anon. We have trouble telling each other apart.

To keep this /ck/ related, salmon farming in the US is done the same way. It is dyed by feeding it a carrot derivative; at least last time I checked.

As much as I miss the hive, it is caused by people spending too much time together.

They have a texture that'll catch you off guard. The closest thing I can compare it to is a roasted marshmallow - crispy on the outside and gooey on the interior. There's a bit of squid in it too, and the flakes on top are very noticeable.

>>9394798
they're fucking delicious
bready on the outside but on the inside it's sauce and chunks of octopus
also you better get those sauces and fish flakes on them or it's not real takoyaki

wow*_*

>>9394798
I've been to Japan a couple times (even went to the Takoyako museum for kicks). The most basic variant you'll find is like a crispy hush puppy, with warm, moist (almost liquidy) batter containing some octopus inside. The condiments make it even better: bonito flakes, mayo, finely chopped seaweed, green onion, and a sweet tangy sauce.

If you're eager to try it, most Japanese restaurants have them and they're a staple of any Japanese cultural festival. And if you like them, they're easy to make (literally just pancake batter with bonito stock)

japanese food have something of erotic

>>9404179
>>9404327
Yep. Tonkatsu Curry, Katsudon, Niku Jaga, Omurice, Taiyaki, Okonomiyaki. There's plenty of non-seafood food that's delicious in Japan.

never tried japanese food, but you fucking weeaboo's should really end your life, good day
