Some Japanese super markets have Ahi Poki, which is like raw tuna served over the counter cheap.

Re: Japanese food
 

Sushi, pocky, ramune, Udon, Pho[Korean, but still good],and yakisoba are the only foods i had that are japanese, save the Pho. Any suggestions as to what i should try next or make?

Re: Japanese food
 

have u tried any tempura fish and vegetables

Re: Japanese food
 

Tempura is good stuff..

Oh em gee...when I went to Todai restaurant, they made some killer crepes. I know crepes aren't Japanese, but they were sooo goooood *drool*

Re: Japanese food
 

I was at a Japanese cafe recently in Collierville, TN, and ordered a bento box. I don't have a clue what half the stuff was, but it all tasted pretty good. Still, it's the first time I've been able to order a bento box. **soooooooooo happy--must stop smiling--scaring small children**

Re: Japanese food
 

can someone explain whats a Bento Box

I have no idea what that is#tooembarrassed

Re: Japanese food
 

It's like a lunchbox packed with great-tasting unidentifiable yummy stuff. But in the restaurant, it's more like a segmented wooden tray so packed. . .

Re: Japanese food
 

I've had a Bento box, I forgot the name of the place I went to but it was very good, I loved it. I have pics from that day on my facebook!

Re: Japanese food
 

Yay for yummy stuff! But since I don't have facebook, I'll just have to imagine. . .

Re: Japanese food
 

so basically its a Lunch box then,

*scratches his head

Re: Japanese food
 

If taken to go, then yes. If eaten at the restaurant, more like a tray. Traditionally, they're wooden or bamboo segmented boxes with lids. As you can imagine, they are carried with the lid upwards, else much yummy will end up on the ground or on your leg.

Re: Japanese food
 

today i went to get something to eat and found this place that had fried udon i was curious and had to try it and it was great

Re: Japanese food
 

All I've had are pocky and ramune. Sure, everyone's had ramen, but not too many have had real ramen. I'd like to try some eventually, since most anime make it look really good. Same thing with curry.

Re: Japanese food
 

There's a Japanese steakhouse near here, it's really good, I highly doubt it's purely authentic, but it's about the closest to real Japanese food I've had.

But I don't see anything particularly intriguing about food from other cultures. Most of it can really boil down to the basic food groups, grains, dairy, vegetables, and meat. Just how they're prepared is all of the difference.

Re: Japanese food
 

my uncle that i had no idea existed lives in japan and wants to help me start a resturant in japan

Re: Japanese food
 

But what would it be? Japanese food or American?

Re: Japanese food
 

well i want to learn japanese food when i get up there

Re: Japanese food
 

For yourself, certainly. But don't you think that your customers might want the chance to eat authentic American? You know, something besides the ubiquitous McDonald's. Just a thought.
