What's your favorite Japanese food?

[taehyun]

I like Japanese sweets-all Japanese sweets, exept these chagashi, made of sugar!
Like also yakiimo, and oden!

Haha, I love that! It tastes so good, and it's unlike any other dish in the world..
The reason I'm laughing is that I always thought that it was 窶卮塚徠窶卩ｽ for some reason, which means "teacup-bug"! I had always wondered in what way Chawanmushi resembled an insect.. So as a kid I figured out it was the sliced shii-take that gave it the weird name as it kinda resembles a slug.
I only found out last year I was wrong all the time.

Yeah yeah, the name does remind kids here of a bug too. And I know what you mean by a sliced shiitake looking like a slug, leonmarino-san.

As you probably already know, "mushi" in "chawanmushi" is ﾂ湘ｶ窶堋ｵ and it means "steamed". I'm glad you didn't take the name like 窶卮停?堙ｭ窶堙ｱ窶督ｳﾅｽ窶ｹﾂ (ignored teacup) though, hehehe.

I really love sushi and other common Japanese food served here in Austria, but what i like most is a fresh Agamo Ramen from my favourite Japanese Restaurant, along with a cool Kirin Lager.

A Ramen a day keeps the doctor away.

I've eaten Sukiyaki, Ramen and Sushi. But until now my favorite Japanese Food is without a doubt, Ramen. Pretty tasty ^__^

ざる蕎麦

My favorite Japanese food would have to be zaru soba, especially when the noodle is slightly "elastic," and not totally soggy......

I chose sukiyaki cause I had it once in this nice resturant on the outskirts of Kodaira where my friend's parents paid for our dinner and it came out to 200$!!

I've had savory Japanese cup appetizer food a few times in the past,it was something " mushi ".San Mateo is one nearby city ( over one hour driving time from Dublin ) where we can get authentic Japanese foods,those places are owned and operated by Japanese nationals.One restaurant there has excellent variety of Japanese gourmet side-dishes only serve during dinner hours.

Lately,I am hooked on takoyaki.Frozen packaged takoyaki and bonito flakes plus takoyaki sauce all available at a local Mitsuwa ( formerly Yaohan ) supermarket.

ah i must say that mine is sushi, i'm a big fan, love them and can't get enough i'm origianly from eastern europe and we did not have any japanese or even asian places at all. I'm still going slow in trying different kind and types of sushi

i would love to try some sushi from the source in japan if i ever get to travel there

 

[bezz]

Odamaki is chawanmushi with udon noodles.

 

[Sugar-San]

I love Sushi (but only with chicken and cooked fish *lol*) and Ramen. Ramen is so great. I love it. ^^

 

[bezz]

Is it that 69 people choose for Sushi-sashimi because they don't know the Reall Japanese food because they have never been to Japan, or because Sushi-sashimi is just the best?

Sushi tastes pretty close to what is served in Japan, but the rest is horrifying.

Many noodle types there like Yabu, Sarashino and inaka-soba.
And serving style differences, like grated radish in dip in Echizen region.

I voted for Sushi/Sashimi... there is so much variety.

I didn't know that everyone doesn't get free refills. I thought it was just some way of getting us to fill our own soda cups! I used to love the free refills... until my blood sugar started to get too high. Now it is just Iced Tea... and never too much of that. American fast food tends to have really large servings, and be high in sugar, fat and sodium. I have eaten way too much. Sushi is much healthier.

My mother used to like to make a stew with Saifun noodles and veggies and tofu she called O-kazu. I have never seen it in restaurants.

Plain white rice with ume... yumm.

I love Japanese Shabu Shabu,you can indulge in abundance of choice ingredients for this table top hot-pot meal.

i voted sushi. yum! but ive only had one kind. how many kinds are there?

 

[Goldiegirl]

My favorite food was the most simple. It was this sticky rice with these little red beans, and then you sprinkled it with a salt that had little black seeds and things mixed into it...Sure I loved noodles and tofu etc, but the beans and rice was my comfort food in Japan.

Not quite comfort food, sekihan is celebration food.

See how little I know! Japanese food is all new to me so please forgive my ignorance. as far as I knew it was a dish that was eaten all of the time. Perhaps I should have known better as I was a guest, but in my defense no one said it was special. And truly for me it was a comfort food...it was soothing to me.
