What Japanese food is a must try? My experience with their cuisine is pretty much only miso soup and sushi and I'll be visiting Tokyo next week. I got on my list
>Chankonabe
>Ramen
>Natto
>Omurice
>Takoyaki
>Shabu shabu
>Mochi
>Okonomiyaki
>Melonpan
>Kaiseki
>those fat pancakes
Any recommendations or favorites?
カレーライス
和菓子・お菓子
麦水飴
梅干し
甘酒
酒(梅酒。サツマイモ酒)
Mochi ice cream
Inarizushi
Don't try natto, you won't like it
Yakisoba(pan)
Tonkatsu
Beef bowl like gyuudon
Udon, basically a thicker ramen
And to add to this guy, (sweet potato) shochu
katsudon
Honestly you'd be able to get most of those foods in an major metropolitan area. I'd go with:
>Kaiseki
>real authentic 100% Japanese sushi
>high quality Junmai sake
>uni
>wagyu beef
Fuck katsudon, get some kitsunedon
I really want to try unagi, the glaze makes it look so appetising and apparently it's pretty delicious for how simple it is
