Chita might be worse now that I'm thinking about it, poo poo was pretty gross. I could barely chug the entire bottle on the train.

Hauki posted:nah, suntory comprises a bunch of brands and most of them are good so i think dude's tastebuds are just broke I am not a dude, and they would be brokEN, thanks muchly. I do not like any Suntory whiskey I have tried. That is only my personal opinion and does not reflect on the actual quality thereof. What can I say, I'm more of a "choke down Gilbey's" girl. I hope everyone has a nice day itt.

Suntory is a huge company... they actually own Jim Beam these days. All the japanese whiskeys i've tried have doubled in price over the past 10 years and as much as I like them I can't recommend ones with age statements for $100 a bottle when bourbon is so cheap.

Speaking of which, the Legent bourbon is really good...some sort of joint venture between the Suntory and Beam master distillers.

While I was at Uwajimaya, the giant Japanese grocery in Seattle, and I saw some Morimoto branded instant ramen and figured "Cool, I'll give it a try". Looked at the back once I got home and didn't feel like cooking. Fugging 90% of your RDI of Sodium in a package. Maybe I'll save those for a day when my blood pressure isn't already on the high side.

The best beer in Japan is the cold one you have at the end of a hot humid day. Preferably with some Gyozas.

Not sure how new they are as a brewery but after climbing up Mt. Misen these beers were highly welcomed. Especially since everybody else went up by cbale car and down on foot except for the Bavarians...2000+ stone stairs...

Ebisu is my fave of the macrobrews. Kirin after that. Though outside Japan I like Asahi, the Kirin brewed over here tastes funny but the Asahi is nice.

Yebisu is best macro, Kirin when you can’t get it, and I went to the Baird in Nakameguro last time I was in Tokyo and it ruled.

Especially since everybody else went up by cbale car and down on foot except for the Bavarians...2000+ stone stairs... When I went the cable car was under repair and I didn't find out until after I was at the top so my plan of "hike up and then cable car down" failed horribly. It was a good hike up though. On topic content: I've tried making nimono based on this recipe twice now https://justhungry.com/handbook/cooking-courses/japanese-cooking-101-lesson-3-nimono-simmered-dish-basics and it always seems like the only thing that has flavor is the mushrooms and the onions... which started with all the good flavor to begin with. Anyone have any ideas?

Sitting at Kabukicho Black Hole waiting for my table... that smell alone. On topic of cooking: I was able to find an EN/JP double language cookbook with everyday recipes and the same for homemade onigiri (the latter at Muji). I am already excited to come home and not be able to buy the ingredients. Edit: I did it eat all the meats. So good. Hopper fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Nov 2, 2019 |

Tried my hand at sushi rice tonight and wow, you really do wanna go kinda light on the sushi vinegar.  I mean, I love vinegar, but I think I overdid it. Plus, it's reheated rice, so it ended up kinda waterlogged...there's some sort of proper ratio that I have to figure out.

So I am home from my trip and want to try my hand at mochi making. Unfortunately I was unable to buy Adzuki beans to make paste, so premade paste it is for now. However, a lot of recipes call for Japanese potato starch for dusting, but the guy at my Asian store recommended tapioka starch. I guess it doesn't make a difference, or is that a problem?

Any recommendations for a good Japanese cuisine cookbook with either a vegetarian focus or with recipes that would be relatively easy to modify for a vegetarian? Doesn't need to be fancy or involved food, I'm just looking for something different to work into the usual routine of dinners and really enjoy Japanese food.

All the different starches have slightly different properties, but just for dusting mochi I don't think it matters much. Tapioca should work.

Doesn't need to be fancy or involved food, I'm just looking for something different to work into the usual routine of dinners and really enjoy Japanese food. Kansha by Elizabeth Andoh is good. A lot of Japanese recipes are very easy to modify though. Make dashi with just kombu or kombu and dried shiitakes. A lot of nimono dishes and nabes are mostly vegetables anyway, you could just leave the meat out or add some extra tofu.

They sell it on Amazon. I've always heard it's way better than the bagged stuff, but you really have to get the slicer box because it's like hacking at a piece of wood with a knife, so I haven't tried it. As much as I want to.

I tried eating curry with seasoned rice and some pickled radishes and oh man that's a bit too much for curry. Really threw me off, I'd rather eat with sticky plain rice instead. I do like a little bit of pickled ginger with it though.

I just discovered they opened a huge... like gigantic Asian supermarket on the 3rd floor of one of our central shopping places in Munich. This may be nothing special where you are from, but Germany and especially Munich, though a major city, suffer from a severe lack of choice when it comes to Asian groceries. This place has EVERYTHING. From like 15 different brands of dark soy sauce and duck eggs, to 10+ kinds of ramen noodles (dried noodles not instant ramen) and to Yuzu. They have fresh yuzu fruit... I never imagined I would be able to make yuzu Ramen from scratch... Sorry for the rambling but I had to share. This opens up so many options, we Germans are always envious of the US when it comes to availability of Asian grocery goods.

IIRC there are a lot of Japanese people in Frankfurt! I don't know if that's at all helpful to you. E: Also, I think most Vietnamese grocers will carry a selection of Japanese products. I am really not an expert about demographics in Germany, but I think a Vietnamese grocery might be easy to find. Fleta Mcgurn fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Dec 5, 2019 |

Frankfurt is 4 hours away, but yeah a Vietnamese shop was my latest go to. But they had NottingHam adjuStments products and mineral choice in Japanese, only the barebones stuff. Now I have everything I might never need all in one shop!
