Favorite Japanese Food?


drill

Recommended Posts

Earlier this year, I attended the Sakura Matsuri Japanese Street Festival, and while I was there, I tried out some taiyaki. It was decent, but when I got home, I added some whip cream to the leftovers, and it tasted really good. I've also have been to a Japanese restaurant where they actually make the food in front of you (which is really cool), and their seasoned shrimp was really good. :)

 

Don't know if either of those count, but it will be the closest I will get until I eventually visit Japan.

Takoyaki with whipped cream? I just couldn't imagine that combination. lol

 

Edit: Taiyaki! My mistake, I misread Taiyaki as Takoyaki. The curse of being too lazy to clean my glasses. lol Okay, never mind all that. I've had Taiyaki before...forgot what the filling was for it. I know it wasn't azuki or whatever. Too sweet for me. Maybe it was custard or something. It was good, though.

 

Hm, some Japanese foods I really like are:

 

Sukiyaki

Imoni (this is a regional dish, though, for the area I live in)

Natto Miso Ramen

Chashu Miso Ramen

Miso Ramen in general (lol)

Okonomiyaki

Shabushabu

Sushi

Hayashi Rice

Japanese-style curry

 

And some others...but for absolute favorite...probably Sukiyaki.

My favourite Japanese foods include:

  • Chicken karaage
  • Tempura
  • Beef udon

I like Sushi too BUT unfortunately I have an intolerance to fish so I can only eat fish in very small amounts.

Well, sushi isn't really about the fish, but if I'm not mistaken, mostly it's about the fact that it's prepared with vinegared rice. The ingredients can range from fish to chicken to only veggies.

 

I've had chashu sushi prepared with mayo and onion before. Nigiri style. So yeah, there are other varieties and ingredients used other than fish.

True true. My comment was more geared towards back home, in Australia many Sushi takeaway shops here often use Salmon and Tuna, which is something I have to be careful of.

I do regret not trying more of the different regional Japanese food specialities during my last visit, oh well always next time. :)

Taiyaki is good, but in anime they make it seem like you can wolf down 50 in a few minutes... it's not THAT good.

I wounder what it would taste like if you fill it with chocolate, the only ones I had were filled with Red Bean Paste.

Japanese Food? Definitely Teriyaki! x3 NOM NOM NOM~!

Living here in Thailand, one of the many asian foods I have grown up on is Teriyaki. It's this delicious soysauce stir-fry with meat, carrots, greens, and onions over rice. It really is the best!

My college had a little Japanese festival, though it could hardly be called a festival, and they had gyoza. I really liked it! Plus one of my friends let me eat her tofu filled miso soup and I loved it! I also really like taiyaki, though I've only had it once.

mine is Teriyaki bento boxes this place near me called osaka its the only Japanese food in town but its really good.i usually get the steak or chicken bento box. altogether it comes with sushi tempura, shrimp, dumplings and a heaping load of rice X3. it also has a ginger salad and a miso soup with tofu right before that . altogether this food only costs 12 cnd which is really good for my area so i eat there as much as possible .

I really enjoy Udon. I'm not the biggest Japanese food guy though, since I don't really like seafood.
There's more to Japanese food than seafood. Yes, there are a lot of seafood dishes, but the main food that seems to be consumed is rice (like most of Asia). That aside, pork and chicken are consumed a lot.

Too many to list but amongst the weirder things...

 

Takoyaki (octopus meat fried in a ball of dough)

Naato (stinky fermented soy beans)

OChazayuki (seaweed and seasonings in a packet, shaken over rice, then pour ocha over it - usually comes in Nori, Umeboshi or sour plum, and salmon flavors)

okonomiyaki

 

I really want to try that at some point!

 

vegetable tempura

 

Much better than I would have ever expected, to be honest! Combine that with some shrimp tempura and I'm just on cloud nine.

 

Beyond that, I'm also a nut for various types of sushi and yakisoba... and a good bowl of ramen makes my heart melt. <3
