Your favorite Japanese food?
Short Version:
What are your favorite Japanese foods? I was hoping to find some new things to try when I visit Japan in a couple years. Long Version: I'm planning on going to Japan through my college's exchange program in a couple years, and am wondering if there are any Japanese foods that I would actually like. I've watched all of cookingwithdog, and runnyrunny999's videos, to see if they ever make anything that looks good to me, and I honestly found nothing. This is mostly because I dislike sauces in general, and I hate it when things are so mixed together that I can't tell what I'm eating anymore... both of which, they love to do. (Also, a lot of the things they make are either fried, or otherwise unhealthy, which I would like to stay away from.) I'm thinking maybe if I ask the masses what their favorite Japanese foods are, something might stand out to me though. |

As for my fav Japanese food, it is probably sushi. |
I've never tried Japanese food but I'd really like too.
|
Just the rice dishes, i'm vegetarian so the seafood stuff is off the menu. I do like seaweed though.
|
Anything cooked in a teriyaki style is good for me. Chicken, beef, lamb, fish... all taste wonderful when they've been teriyaki'd up to the max!

I like a lot of my food mixed up. Since you don't I'll just mention other types. Here are some meal-type foods that you can get in restaurants:
Donburi: It's a bowl of rice with something on top. That's all. Could be meat, fish, veggies, etc. Very common, very simple, but usually filling because of the rice. Soup Curry: It's sort of like mixing things together so maybe you won't like it. It's a curry-like soup broth so it's a little spicy and in it are a bunch of veggies (which will probably depend on where and when you order it, but I remember always seeing okra, potato, carrot, and pumpkin included). Usually has some rice on the side. Very very tasty. I think it's a regional thing in Hokkaido though, so you might not find it easily outside of there. Yakiniku: I don't actually like this because I'm vegetarian, but other people seem to like it and it's a pretty simple meal. Your table has a kind of grill in the center and they bring you your meat raw and you just slap it on the grill piece by piece until you're happy with how it's cooked. Sauces are optional. Other tasty things you can get in Japan are anman (azuki beans/paste filled buns), daifuku (a mochi ball with more azuki bean/paste), and just mochi itself is good. I also think you should try out the different flavors of things you can find elsewhere, like sodas (melon flavor is great) and soft cream (sesame flavored is surprisingly good). |
I've only had ramen, and I enjoy it, so yea I pick ramen :D
|
Various Katsu and Tempura... Japanese curry is also quite good.
|
Onigiri is an awesome snack food. Sushi too. Cold noodles are also pretty epic.
I wish I could try an okinomiyaki- I'm going to a Japanese restaurant next week so I'll try it there if they have them. |
The only Japanese food I eat is Sushi. I can hardly get any other kind of Japanise food where I live.
|
I live in Hawaii so I've eaten quite a few...
Though I'm kind of unsure. Probably Oden. |
Hnnng. Seafood udon (in soup) has been my favourite as of late. Japanese food is probably my favourite type of cuisine and I try to have something new whenever I'm at a Japanese restaurant, but I always find myself coming back to udon lately. :3 I really love tempura and most of the basic sushi, too. And quite often sushi comes back into play as my favourite thing to have when I'm out at a JP restaurant but for now it's the udon.
It's been a while since I've had anything Japanese though. Hope I get a chance soon! |
Anything cooked in a teriyaki style is good for me
|
sushi sushi sushi sushi sushi, can't get enough of the stuff.
|
Mochi ice cream. Delicious dessert that everyone should try at last once.
|
Hm, I would say sushi but I get a little sick of it because my dad owns a sushi restaurant. Right now, I am very fond of dangos, I can't get my hands on them enough. Also love riceballs and soba noodles.
cookingwithdog's channel is amazing. Makes me hungry every time I go there. :D |

I hear that Ketchup Dango is pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmnJLBA98_o#t=5m16s lol |
My favorite would have to be he various incarnations of Sushi - Nagiri, Sashimi, Tempura, etc. We're getting a giant Sushi tray appetizer for my Birthday, I'm reeeaaaalllyy happy about that. :D
|
I love Somen (favourite) and Udon for mains. I ate a lot of and loved Tempura prawn (especially my grandmother's) because the region my family is from have adopted that as their staple.
For snacks I love Shiratama, Omochi and Azuki (combine them for Oshiruko, yum). And any type of Dango. And Ichigo Daifuku. And Taikyaki. And Green Tea Soft-serve cones. Of course you have to try the Japanese sushi trains (raw salmon/tuna nigiri= holy food). If you're going to Osaka try the Takoyaki and the Okonomiyaki. Not only that, but they have all sorts of unique flavoured lollies too. Try anything and everything! Each region in Japan has their own flavour! |
Hmm....tough choice. But, in the end I guess I'd have to pick ramen. Yum.

Can't say I've tried very much in the way of actual Japanese food, now I think about it. I tried sushi when I was about ten, and didn't like it much. I think I would if I tried it again, though, yet I've never had the stones to try, for some reason. |
Let me just add- Japanese curry is awesome.
It's not as spicy as Indian curry, nor as thick, but it has a sorta sweet yet savoury taste. With katsu cutlets it gets even better. |
SUSHI1.... and Kimchi noodle bowls.
|
never every posted in J-E before
I like sushi the best, I don't see what other Japanese food could be nicer ;) |

Oh, and how could I forget Tempura! Fried prawns FTW |
Sushi and sashimi here, I love eating them.
|
Sushi
- I would like the Sushi with the shrimp, and it's delicious! Noodles - I really like noodles, any kind of flavor :) |
Miso Ramen is good. My favorite is (shrimp) tempura. ♥
|
my mum whos jap always cooks jap food. you won't need to worry about unhealthy quilavaking, japan has the longest life expectancy for a reason.
and i don't see where your looking when you saying you don't like your food to be mixed together so much, most japanese dishes aren't based around mixing. their mostly set apart, eg norimaki sushi which has seaweed on the outside, rice inside, and some sort of meat in side that. nigiri is even more simple, just rice with a bit of fish on top. traditional japanese meals consists of a bowl of rice, miso soup and a side dish. the side dish is usually a meat dish which can be stirfry, sashimi (raw fish), fried fish, etc etc. one amazing thing about food in japan is the cost. almost everything (other than fruits) is ridiculously cheap. but if your even more of a cheap ass like me then you can manage with bento boxes from convenient stores. they usually are like a traditional meal (minus miso soup obviously) and have seperate compartments for each bit of food. trust me, you will enjoy the food in japan. |
mine is eel with rice :) yum
|
I like Sushi and Noodle's there so good, and the rice is good too and there's this other food, I don't realy remember what it's called but it is soooooo yummmmmy!
|
I can't remember the name, but theres these japanese sweets with edible wrappers...
Strawberries~.... |
As cliche as this sounds, my favorites are sushi, udon, and onigiri. I like just about anything with seaweed in it too like miso soup.
|
My Japanese step aunt gave me some tofu in Hawaii and it was the best thing I've ever tasted! Apparently you can actually order tofu in Hawaii in the local restaurants and it comes in a white box with red letters. I don't know if chopsticks were included though, my aunt has her own.
So, tofu would be my favorite Japanese food. |
I like tempura... But lately, I've been glomping a lot of takoyaki~
At first I was ok with the taste, but now that I'm used to it, I keep eating them for lunch ^^" |
I enjoy a good Rice Noodle Ramen, and I like sushi too.
|
My favorite Japanese food is the rice. :D
|
Ramen, or Sushi. Miso is also pretty good.
|
Sushi sushi sushi sushi sushi, hands down. :D
