Japanese think they are special because only their food has umami

>>214244468 (OP)
They are THOUGH

>>214244468 (OP)
>MSG, junk food like chips :/
>MSG, raw fish :O

>>214244468 (OP)
They also have absolutely god tier S+ cartoon porn. No other country even comes close.

>>214244468 (OP)
>filling at low portions
>healthy
>not high in calories
>tastes quite good
Literally zero reason not to eat sushi. It made my current diet much more bearable.

We have more umami than the japs

>>214244468 (OP)
only some retarded Japanese believe that myth.

>>214244508
No. food from every country has savory, which is brought about by the amino acid.

>>214244468 (OP)
Their sushi and some rice dishes do have a unique flavour though. You can instantly tell it's japanese food when you taste/smell it without seeing it.

i'm not a fan of japanese food (it's too bland and sweet) but italian cuisine would be british cuisine tier without tons of cheese? it's not even that good with cheese desu, i personally prefer spanish cuisine bc it's more sophisticated and garlicky. french cuisine is the worst among the brown european cunts for having too much dairy products and meat

>tfw you will never have umami
>tfw you will never experience four seasons
>tfw you will never hear the noises bugs make
>tfw you will never be able to eat white rice

>>214244607
It's expensive as fuck and making your own is difficult because you have to trust that the store-bought salmon has been handled properly

>>214244938
We have two types of sushi IN GERMANY. The expensive kind served in proper restaurants and the shitty slop made by the Vietnamese that would make a Jap say the equivalent of MAMMA MIA out loud.

>>214244938
why don't you use the frozen one or grill the surface of salmon with cheese? it's called aburi (grilled) salmon
>>214245014
i literay fainted when i tried their "sushi" in australia. i totally get why some westerners hate sushi and i've never had sushi outside of japan since then

you guys ever indulge yourself and pig out on sushi?

>>214245137
davido that's not 寿司 but americanised diabetic sushi

>>214245094
Not a fan of grilled salmon, and I've heard that frozen becomes so rubbery it's not worth it

>>214245137
No, because that would blow an entire week's food budget for me.

>>214245094
>>214245175
Did you know that italian rice is approved by the japanese as superior sushi rice?

>>214245175
what the hell are you talking about?

>>214245587
It’s the mayo, all that crap on top of each piece, and the random white trash lemon slices.

>>214244468 (OP)
Das rite!

>>214245195
I've heard good stuff about Fröya, might be worth checking them out, personally I'm too afraid to eat non-frozen salmon even if it's not wild.

Umami is just amino acids, right? Every country has those.

>>214244468 (OP)
>muh umami that folds your tastebuds with flavour over 100000 times
overhyped meme, literally just the jap word for savoury

>>214244468 (OP)
>umami
Not a thing

>>214245524
>>214246114
Can you answer this?
I would like to know the opinion of japanese that try our rice

We laugh when these gaijins are raving "Thai food yummy!" "Korean instant noodles yummy!" when it's just Ajinomoto's MSG doing its job.

The cope is even funnier when they are saying like "i-it's savory, bro." "i-it's just MSG, bro."

The "yummy taste" was discovered and defined by Japanese man, even the idea of "Umami boost" itself was created by Japanese man, and the rest of the world is coping forever with it. kek

>>214245014
What about the ones you can buy in the super market? Also why the hate against Vietnamese

>>214249147
Monosodiumglutamate?

>>214249474
No hate against the Vietnamese (the supermarket ones are made by them too), but don’t expect good quality and authenticity. It’s like going to a ‘bab shop run by a Pole. I want old man Mustafa and his kids serving me.

>>214249557
The biggest supermarket sold sushi brand is danish tho

>>214249647
Doesn’t matter, same shit. I want nihon sushi desu. There are like 3 ramen joints where I live, all run by the Japanese and they make S tier ramen.

>>214249647
>>214249702
Danes don't make rice and japanese don't export them

>Sushi
Not Japanese
>Soy Sauce
Not japanese
>MSG
Is actually Japanese and not chinese as everyone thinks.

Ajinomoto making people seethe for over 100 fucking years. You heard over last decades, "i-it's demonic China salt!" "i-it's bad chemical!"

People start acting like this when they experience a superior concept, and this verifies Umami is the greatest discovery of the century.

>>214249930
msg is the pure form of a naturally occuring taste, there really isnt anything japanese about it, people have been tasting its natural form since forever.

>>214244756
>japanese food (it's too bland and sweet
>italian cuisine would be british cuisine tier without tons of cheese
>french cuisine is the worst
Are you trying to set a world record?
One of those alone is more than enough to shitpost to the max

>>214250280
>asparagus, tomatoes, cheese, meat
these taste nothingl ike each other

>>214250324
Japan is an Umami paradise. Japan's top 30 ingredients are more Umami-rich than the top 5 ingredients in the west. Non-Japanese people have poor grasp of Umami.

>>214244635
Savory and umami aren't the same thing

>>214250532
meh, i prefer salt

>>214250532
>japs pork is filled with msg
why do you do that

>>214250482
Kikunae's insight was truly ahead of its time. His quote highlights how Umami can be subtle, which is why it took so long to be appreciated globally. It’s almost like a "taste IQ" you have to consciously tune in to detect that depth.

>>214250591
>Savory and umami aren't the same thing

>>214250957
>>214250994
Umami makes everything taste better, soups, snacks, instant noodles, sauces. You know why your Doritos seem unreasonably craveable? That’s often Umami doing its job.

>>214250532
Seems like drying brings out the "umami" flavor aka higher sodium levels

>>214251010
Umami and Savory are different. Umami is a specific taste, recognized as the fifth basic taste (after sweet, bitter, salty, and sour), this Umami is what gives food its satisfying taste. Japanese man defined Umami, its concept previously unknown in the west. Japan introduced the key element to world cuisine and gastronomy.

>>214251001
but apparently you have to fill your food with it to "taste it" instead of leaving it natural

>>214251197
>recognized as the fifth basic taste
recognized by whomst'ved? Source on a highly-cited research paper in a high-impact academic journal, sweetie?

>>214250532
I didnt know why I liked sushi so much and I guess is because of this thing called "umami". I got my mom into living it too. I take her out to sush from time to time, she loves it

>>214250324
Yeah but nobody knew what it was until the Japanese scientist first identified it.

>>214251294
Sushi is a masterpiece of culinary achievement.

- Developed fishery: Japan’s fishery techniques are highly advanced to sustainably harvest top-quality fish.
- Sophisticated supply chain: Ensuring freshness requires a seamless cold chain from catching to market to plate.
- Advanced freezing technology: Flash freezing at ultra-low temps preserves texture and flavor, especially for premium fish like bluefin tuna.
- High-level hygiene: The standards for Sushi preparation ensure safety while highlighting the natural flavors.
- Authentic taste: Shoyu amplifies Umami, deepening the taste experience.

Japan’s role in elevating Bluefin Tuna to luxury status is remarkable, turning a wild fish into an iconic delicacy. The story with Atlantic salmon is fascinating too. Norway voluntarily providing one of Europe’s best Salmon varieties enriched Japanese Sushi culture even more.

It’s amazing how something that looks so simple actually relies on centuries of refinement. Japan’s achievement with Sushi is something to be proud of.

>>214249147
hmm yeah okay but the korean ramen i get tastes better than the japanese ramen so im just going to keep thinking korean food is better

>>214251050
so you really put it in everything, like covering your food with soy sauce, YUCK
I lost total respect for japanese cuisine

>>214251497
You can see here how these Noodle slop are processed in factories. You laugh because Indonesian one is straight-up third world crap, Korean one is still lagged. Equipment and machines are extremely outdated compared to Japan's Nissin, they using decades-old noodle machines like exactly low IQ retards.

i dont really care how the hog is slaughtered at the end of the day if i have a choice between nissin and shin im getting shin. japanese may have a better/more professional/clean process but the koreans have a better end product.
i think its just the spices. Japan is the britain of asia.

>>214251575
>everything is industrial processed
that explains why asian noodles taste like plastic

>>214245524
most sushi places in the north buy italian or spanish
t. knower

>>214251960
Spain doesn't make rice suitable for sushi, so avoid those places
Japanese people in europe only consider italian as good quality rice

>>214252191
the japanese guy who taught me to make sushi used spanish japonica variety. we served it to the japanese ambassador and she was satisfied.

>>214252387
Ambassador in estonia is probably used to eat low quality food

>>214252665
COPE

>>214252719
It's true, the quality of produce in is grim, they don't have real tomatoes in Netherlands or Sweden. I imagine in the baltics it's even worse
Tourist come here and are SHOCKED to know what tasting real food feel like for the first time

>>214252918
COPING HARDER

>>214253079
I know you are italian, trying to defend shitty nordic food lol

>>214245137
There are those all you can eat sushi places
It’s never as good as a more expensive place but I still eat myself silly at those
