I feel guilty because I found out that I really like a lot of Japanese food, but I have no idea exactly what I was eating or what it was called! I had this pancake thing with noodles in the middle and white sauce drizzled over the top that I really liked...don't know what it's called though...and this crisp, white, stringy stuff piled like a little haystack that was great, oh, I think there was like a vinegar dressing on it. I liked all the noodles. Any kind. The best were at a little shop that had seats for maybe 10 people. Great atmosphere, warm noodles, warm people! Good food, good people = love!

Hello Goldiegirl.
From what you described, I suppose the one you had here could be "Kansai-style Modern-yaki" or "Hiroshima-style Okonomiyaki"...
And as for the white one, it could be vinegared Naga-imo/Yama-imo(the raw one, not grated one)
Well...perhaps...maybe...^^;
Did the white one look like this? (There should be various ingredients as to what you put on top of it or what you mix with, tho)
...Sorry, if I'm wrong. ^^;
I'm poor with searching pics...I could use Bezz-san's help for better pictures, eh?

Sashimi!!!
Definitely sashimi. That's pretty much all I go for everytime I go to a Japanese buffet. Maguro and sake, mmm-mmmmmmmmmmmm!!! If they had ikura donburi at buffets too I'd wallop the lot XD

Clear soup with rectangular rice cake in Eastern Japan, miso-based soup with round rice cake in Western Japan.I prefer to eat mochi as "o-zouni", soup with rice cakes and vegetables.

I've only tried some various form of sushi. The one i like the most is call california sushi-it has cucumber, avocado, carrots..etc. A vegetarian sushi????. Did this form of sushi originated from califronia, u.s.a? if so, is there a japanese version? And what is call? thanks.

I've skipped from page one to 10.
Yeah, I picked okonomyake, but could also have chosen, yakitori or tonkatsu too.
Definitely getting the munchies reading this...hope to get some new year noodles soon if I can flatter the wife enough to make 'em right for me!! Happy new year all...

ok, I didn't vote because I couldn't pick just one thing I love. Food is one thing that keeps me spending time in japan. luckily there is lots of good japanese food in australia too. Ok so I like (in no particular order).
ramen (love miso ramen in japanese winter)
gyoza
sushi and sashimi (love salmon or tuna sashima when fresh, I get awesome sashimi in sydney, maybe even better than what I've had in japan).
tonkatsu karee (I love coco ichi. best curry. and they will make it damn hot if you can handle it)
crab karoke (crab croquets)
takoyaki
hiroshima style okonomiyaki (i got of the shinkansen once in hiroshima just to go to okono-mura because I love hiroshima style okonomiyaki. yes it was worth it!)
shabu-shabu (good to sit and eat a lot and get drunk)
yakiniku (love it too. good to get in some kimchi and lots of different beef)
yakitori (another strong favourite - sadly this is one type of japanese food is not common back home, well not the real japanese style and variety)
tempura (love prawn tempura. who doesn't)
mcdonalds teriyaki burger and ebi-filet-o (mmmm tasty)
MOS burger (like the name says: japanese fine burger)
pocky (i know it's a snack)
tonkatsu sandwhiches from mitsukoshi. so expensive but damn good!
japanese strawberries (best in the world)
green tea ice cream
fugu (tasty if it doesn't kill you!)
udon (a good change from my fav ramen noodle)
rice snacks of all types - love them
wasabi flavour chips/crisps - love them
teriyaki flavour chips/crisps are ok when drunk
I also love japanese beer. favourites are: suntory malts (and premium malts), kirin brau meister, ebisu, sapporo, asahi
I'm sure there is more, but that's all I could think of off the top of my head.
if you can't tell, I LOVE japanese food.
nihon-ryori oishii katta desu yo.

There are many dipping sauce ideas. My favorite is salt-based one right now.
For example,
Macha salt
Mix 1 tbsp macha green tea and 1 tbsp salt. And sprinkle a pinch of macha salt when you eat.
Yuzu salt
Grate peels of Yuzu, a sort of citrus
Mix it with salt
Heat the salt in microwave for 1 min
Mix it well again, and you get yellowish salt with nice flavor.
Sprinkle the salt when you eat.
I think yuzu is hard to get in your country, so try your favorite citrus.
tonkatsu sandwhiches
I bet it is the Maisen's one.

I'm not sure if I like ramen or sushi better 
Lightly beaten batter of tempura is the most important, I think.
It may be interesting to see the differences in the movies.
An English friendly movie, but...
I know a tempura recipe using soy milk instead of egg yolk, though.

As always, all in Japanese, but you can see the batter by a chef of Nadaman, a famous Japanese restaurant.

Ah, no room on the poll for my beloved takoyaki or monja...
I had to go for their brother/sister/(cousin?) food of okonomi.
How sad, I have my electric takoyaki machine here, but no adaptor for use in the UK. No hot plate, so no monja. Okonomiyaki for lunch it will have to be!
