|
| Hmm, now that I think about it.. I haven't tasted ANY Japanese food in my life.. Yea, I know, I suck :P But I really want to eat all that stuff, I'm just afraid that if I eat Japanese food somewhere else than Japan it won't be really.. you know.. Japanese, the real thing. However, one day I will definitely go there and eat all kind of stuff, melon bread is the first on my list, but maybe I will pass on grilled squid and octopi and food like that ^^ |
| Sushi is one of the main things i like about japanese food culture. |

Japanese, the real thing. I get what you mean, theres like 3 japanese restaurant where I live but all of them run by chinese people so you can't really call it real... |
     |
| Yeah,, to say you eat japanese food when in your homecountry (for me Sweden) would probably be to lie to yourself =). Actually tomorrow I will try and make Onigiri (rice embedded with Nori and a filling) and with that Teriyaki chicken. Now this will be a first try for this but I hope it will be a success =) |
|
| Hehe, good luck with that. |
| I will be sure to write how it went and I think I will take pictures when making it,, I might make a post here with cooking instructions =) |
|
Zirgo said: I will be sure to write how it went and I think I will take pictures when making it,, I might make a post here with cooking instructions =) Yes, please make a post here with cooking instructions :D That way I could try to make it too.. :D |
     |
| So now the food is done and I will show you some images I took and description on how to make it. This is the first time I made it and I basically had no idea how to make it from the start but it tasted great and I am so stuffed right now I have a hard time sitting up straight =). So press the spoiler button to view all images and text. Good luck making your own dish! |
|
| Omg. YUM! I don't think my boyfriend would approve but... MARRY ME?! :P |
| Haha, no he probably wouldn't, and I would get a price on my head served on a plate =) |
|
| Hehh, looks cool ^^ I would give it a try, but finding a nori sheet would be quite difficult, I think. |
| If u don`t find nori sheets, u can use google and order it from net.. :D I will try to make that dish too.. :) thx zirgo |
|
| I don't think it will be too hard to find nori sheets actually. I was rather surprised that the convenience store closest to me had them. I went for a starter kit so to say that contained the bamboomat and chopsticks etc etc. The mat I can reuse if I wish to make the dish again though. Good luck with the dish lolester =). Use some magic like Hyoushitsu said and it will be great! |
|
| I think that Japanese food is just good in general. It has such a different taste and it's yummy. |
 |
| Well.. it does taste good.. and it`s way healthyest food ever.. :D |

|
| I miss and love: 7-11 tuna onigiri, kaiten sushi (especially yaki-salmon and especially not the raw chicken), tonkatsu, yakitori from vendors, kakigori on a hot day, bottled cold or hot ocha and vitamin water from vending machines, everything matcha in Kyoto, any sweets ever. Oh it's all so yummy...... |
 |
| Oh and amazing work making that sushi!! Looks so good... I want some now. I'm not so good a cooking tho, I'd rather be able to buy it. |

It is Japanese run and owned. You can get authentic Japanese, it just depends where you go. You dont have to go to Japan to eat Japanese food. It is true alot of places arent authentic. I'm turning 21 on friday. Im going to try sake for the first time. Im excited. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should eat? Heres the menu: http://www.usmenuguide.com/osakanorthwestmenu.html |
 |
| Wow,, thats alot of food =),, more than what you meet in a Swedish restaurant menu, thats for sure. Wish I could answer the question but my experience with Japanese food is up to this point almost none. *Pokes on other members to answer* |

| Reading the whole thread made me hungry :D Hmm japanese food, i think i had sometimes nearly authentic food :) Sushi / Sashimi is in my favorite dish, but also ramen tastes very good. Had it one time at a japanese restaurant nearby, as i read ramen on the menu i had to order it. If Naruto eats it a lot, it can't be bad :D Puh Padron86, reading the menu, i would eat until i explode :D Hmm the only things i've already had and which is on the menu is Chicken Teriyaki and Yakitori and it was delicious. |
 |
| There is so much stuff it is hard to decide. Even the sake its hard to decide hot or cold, and their alot of different kinds. |

Concerning the sake it would probably follow some kind of system where some are more appropriate to drink to some kind of food,, iow just like red or white wine. Here are some sites though. See if you can find some useful info there http://www.sakeone.com/sake/sake101.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sake |

| Has anybody tasted konnyaku???? I think its good......but my friends dont ><..........its kinda like gelatin and its flavoured with soy sauce....and very healthy cause it has NO calories. ^^ |
 |
| Haha,, from that description it sounds terrible ^^, but hey, I would still like to try it, so I can say things for sure. Where to you get a hold of it? |
|
| sounds terrible? ............ i just buy it at the store that is specialty of japanese food.........it may look bad.....but it tastes good.....at least i think so..... >< |
| |
| Onigiri ^.^ i love them sooo yummi :3 i like to coke with the wok so do you know a good rezept? if yes please say it ^^ |
 |
| I have an obsession with Tempura. Actually, since I saw an episode of Aria with Akari eating it earlier, it's making me hungry for it now. Unfortunately the Japanese place down the street closed at nine and it's four in the morning. Dx I'm definitely going there in the morning with my friend. ;_; Anyways though, I love Japanese food. Just about the only thing I haven't liked so far has actually been the sushi, haha. But since there are so many other dishes and things to eat, I'm just fine with everything else that I've tried so far, and I'm looking forward to trying more and more! Tempura is definitely my favorite, though. 8D |
Anime figure reviews: |
| my fave japanese food - sashimi (raw fish) my fave japanese drink - osake (rice wine) most japanese love to drink and smoke. but they eat healthy food, mostly seafood and vegetables. so i guess they're just balanced hehe. i don't smoke so i haven't tried any of their cigarettes. they have lots of beer but i like the ones in my country (philippines) better. |
| There are plenty of good Japanese restaurants in London, but I still miss the sheer variety and excellent value of the food and snacks in Japan - these are just some of the wonderful meals I enjoyed: Hitsumabushi - grilled eel on rice, served in 3 ways (plain, with toppings mixed in and finally also with dashi poured on top) Healthy tonkatsu Minshuku landlady's cooking: grilled river fish, tofu, somen, tempura, soup and lots of wild mountain vegetables More wild mountain vegetable cooking Even more wild mountain vegetable cooking - this time with Hida beef cooked from raw on a piece of leaf Icecream - Hida apple pie, organic green tea and even Shirakawa sake flavoured Sushi - unagi, uni, ikura, toro... *_* More adventurous sushi - whole fish including tail! |

| I'm always an experimenter in the kitchen so I had to post this. Last week I made mochi for the first time, and it turned out great. I made some plain red bean daifuku and a couple ichigo ones, and they freeze really well. (...the plain ones anyway, I kinda ate all the ichigo that afternoon. XD ) Stealthheart said: Has anybody tasted konnyaku???? I think its good......but my friends dont ><..........its kinda like gelatin and its flavoured with soy sauce....and very healthy cause it has NO calories. ^^ I've never tried konnyaku ('cuz I can't find it), but, I'm nuts about shirataki. It can make the most healthy and filling meals. I buy it in pasta form and I love the interesting texture of it. |
