interesting... i've been wanting to make the eggs they serve in gastronomic restaurants, where the yolk and the white are perfectly consistent in texture between the two. you cook the egg at a constant 63 degrees or so temperature for a few hours? i'm adding this to the long list of luxury items i'd like to own one day.

I've been here for 10 years as of July. I'd also been here for 2 years in '93~94, so I've lived in Japan for over 25% of my life. Whenever I think about that, it freaks me the fuck out.

I'll probably move in January or February, and have the family move when they finish their school in April.

awesome i just ordered a coffee & realized i have no way to pay for it! gonna have to see if theyll hold on to something of mine while i run down the street to the grocery store atm :(

It's been several hours, I'm guessing they have PT in the back washing dishes.

i came up with the brilliant plan of letting them hold on to my ipod while i went to a nearby atm, then realized that atms are worthless when you dont have a debit card on you.

After that, we bailed for a small pub which has Minoh beer from just north of Osaka. They had a double-IPA that was double-OMG. Very nice. I had two pints of that, and a half and half. The bar also does pub food, so we had Iberico ham and fish and chips. The barkeep mixed the batter for fish-and-chips right in front of me: some flour and a stout, with fresh, flaky cod dipped in it.

Tonight was pretty damned great.

We shared. ;)

I planned it all out: nobody buys more than one of anything and we all take a bite or two that way we'd have enough room to try as many foods as we can. Of course we were still too full and didn't get to try EVERYTHING we wanted (those ribs and drumsticks were pretty good sized but damn were they good and the hot dogs were free so of course we had to take them). I never even got to dessert.

Life is so unfair... :'(

The pale ale was very tasty, but I wished they had the W-IPA I've mentioned elsewhere.

As if to make up for that good meal, my lunch today was a stunningly mediocre vegetable curry at a ekimae place. Not sure what I was thinking, except that the Ebessan place was actually closer to the station than this crappy curry joint.

Oh, well; I'll be making up for it soon with Cormacaroni -- craft beers and deep dish pizza!
Title: Re: What did you eat lately?
Post by: Robo on October 04, 2011, 11:50:30 AM: +1 Spencer's tastebuds. I prefer Dominos if I have to pick between one of the big pizza chains. It's gotten a hell of a lot better in just the last year or so. Pizza Hut is about the same. Don't care for Papa Johns. Little Caesars is terrible.

Talkin the basics here. Hand tossed, cheese, sauce, maybe mushrooms/peppers/onions/pineapple, no meat. There's no reward in experimenting with the menu.
Title: Re: What did you eat lately?

Breakfast this morning at Ebisu station, in Antico Caffe, an Italian or Italian-themed chain. Prosciutto and mozzarella panini with caffe latte for breakfast. Was delicious.

People in Tokyo dress better than people in Osaka. Pretty much everyone looked impeccable. Most of the women even knew how to walk in heels, which can be pretty uncommon here.

In summary: lovely cup o' joe, tasty, warm sammich with pork product, quietly busy back alley with lots of peoplewatching. I was enjoying myself.

Since I've never been, what is ethnic food like in Japan, can you get Mexican/Indian/Ethiopian/Greek/etc or is it just mostly other Asian countries?

French food is big, as is Italian. I saw Americanized Italian as well as more traditional fare.

Indian food is awesome in Japan. My wife and I ate a little place near our hotel in Tokyo (Yanaka neighborhood) that was run by a family who moved to Japan from India. Absolutely incredible.

There's Mexican food, but there aren't a ton of places that serve it.

In Tokyo, apparently you can get just about anything.

In Osaka, there it's more common to see other asian cuisines, and some Italian/French as Herr Gundam mentioned. Those two are probably the prevalent euro styles, but I suspect they're heavily adapted to Japan. You can get pizza anywhere, and it's so japanified that it is arguably a different food. Or just "bad pizza." Vietnamese, which is super prevalent on the west coast of America, is largely absent from what I've seen, but I have been in two restaurants, one of which had absolutely miserable pho.

I've never seen a Greek or Ethiopian restaurant here.

I'd like to believe that too, but it is not so. The first place I tried to eat Mexican food at in Japan, it was a lovely, Mexican-themed environment, a spacious patio under the sun, brick and stucco, Spanish colonial façade everywhere. Then the food arrived. It looked great. A build-your-own taco plate with tortillas, sour cream, etc. WOW! Except, it turned out the meat hadn't been warmed; they thought it was supposed to be room temperature. And it wasn't sour cream, it was whipped cream. No joke.

The only other place I've tried it here, it's expensive and not very good. When I make tacos at home, they're better than this place's tacos. However, there are enchiladas and chile rellenos at El Pancho, so I occasionally indulge. The only thing on the menu worth going for are the yuzu (citron) margaritas.

Post by: Cormacaroni on October 06, 2011, 10:55:06 PM: Italian food is awesome in Tokyo on the whole. There is of course a spectrum of price and quality but even in the likes of Denny's you will get ok pasta. If you are prepared to pay, you can get any quality you like. The top chefs will invariably have trained in Italy and usually won awards and stuff (due to not being lazy guineas presumably).
Title: Re: What did you eat lately?
Post by: chronovore on October 07, 2011, 02:03:35 AM: I think there's good Italian under those same rules in Osaka, but where I am in the boonies, it's just Cappricciosa: VOLUME, VOLUME, VOLUME!

Post by: Cormacaroni on October 07, 2011, 02:14:48 AM: Finally got some ghee at a reasonable price, and have been using it for cooking eggs and such. It tastes really good, and is very timely considering there is currently a shortage of domestic butter over here. Also got some almond butter that was not extortionate.
Title: Re: What did you eat lately?
Post by: Cormacaroni on October 09, 2011, 10:21:31 PM: Made some more of that Jamie Oliver spanish-style chicken, only with stuffing. Lemon slices under the skin, whole lemon + onion + parsley + herbs inside, pepper salami on top (no chorizo :( ). Garnished w/ gremolata, potatoes boiled first then roasted in same tray. It was pretty great, though I saved most of it for the next day.

Post by: Cormacaroni on October 21, 2011, 10:13:38 PM: Put this on twitter last night, people seemed freaked out at how little it cost/how easy it was to throw together. Just some store-bought smoked duck, crisped up in a pan. For some reason, duck breast costs only a little more than chicken here, YMMV. Not as :tophat as you might think. Omelette with some nice Roquefort (blue cheese) inside, some stuffed olives and a tomato, boom. Just a light dinner for a no-workout day.

The remains of that chicken:

This is mostly the wings/legs/underside of the chicken so I stuck it all in the oven to get the skin nice and crispy, that's it. Fresh gremolata does wonders to liven up leftovers. All the bones went into stock the next day.

Were the frog legs to celebrate :piss David Guetta's :piss2 djmag victory?

I had Philipino food for the first time yesterday... got lumpia (eggrolls, very similar to Chinese or Thai eggrolls), my main meal was goat meat and assorted other stuff (peppers, onions, olives, chickpeas) stewed in a sweet sauce. Was pretty good! My friend got tripe in watery peanut sauce, that I didn't think was that great though. Seems like a very hit-or-miss cuisine, but I'll have to try some more stuff!

It's not even close. Five Guys has better burgers and better fries. I'm not saying they're the best ever, but if we're just talking burger chains then Five Guys is near the top.

In-N-Out Burger felt almost exactly like McDonalds, but with nothing on the menu but three slight variation of the same burger. And their fries weren't even as good as McDonalds.

Purple Stuff is red cabbage (cooked with red wine, not pickled) with chopped bacon bits. Yellow stuff is fried polenta.

Damn @ CrystalGemini's stuff, looks like straight from a cookbook. What is the broth/sauce (not sure about the correct cooking term) in which the meatballs are cooked?
Title: Re: What did you eat lately?
Post by: CrystalGemini on November 08, 2011, 05:03:39 PM: Thanks! :D

It's just a basic meatball sauce with garlic, onions, red wine, tomatoes, brown sugar, chicken broth, basil, oregano, thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper simmered for hours and hours.

EDIT: Recipe
*as with all my recipes, measurements are approximate. A lot of the time I just happen to have a bunch of something (like this time it was plum tomatoes and basil) and so I use it for noms.

SAUCE
1 tbsp olive oil
8 cloves minced garlic
1 diced onion
1 cup red wine
8 quartered plum tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1-2 tsp brown sugar (depends on the tartness of the tomatoes)
2-3 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp thyme
3 bay leaves
salt and black pepper to taste

Saute onions and garlic in olive oil over medium heat until the onion is translucent. Turn the heat to high and add the red wine. Reduce for about two or three minutes. Add the plum tomatoes, tomato paste (diluted the chicken broth to loosen), and brown sugar and bring to a boil. Add all the spices and lower heat. Simmer for 2-3 hours.

MEATBALLS
2 lbs ground beef
3/4 cup bread crumbs (I like to save bread ends to make my own bread crumbs - I use one slice which usually yields about 1/2 - 3/4 cup)
2 eggs
3 cloves minced garlic
2 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp dill
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl, use your hands to combine all the ingredients (add the water last). Shape into balls that fit into the palm of your hand and drop into the simmer sauce (mentioned above). Simmer for another 30 minutes. Serve with freshly grated cheese, basil and toasted almonds.

Enjoy!

Post by: Human Snorenado on November 09, 2011, 01:40:31 AM: Made a bunch of tomato sauce today in preparation for making Lasagna this weekend. Just a simple thing, really- sauteed some minced garlic, mushrooms and green peppers in olive oil, added a can of diced tomatoes, can of tomato puree and about six roma tomatoes. Simmer a big ass pot of that shit and add salt, pepper and oregano to taste. Next time I'll probably use some red wine, but my alky ass was fresh out.

Comes out pretty good but I gotta replace the peppers+onions mix with some shredded lettuce and fresh tomato...they push the sweetness a little too high.

cumin's definitely the big one in a mexican situation. i also like to season with ground corriander, paprika, sugar & cocoa.

This was from my trip to Kobe, week before last. This steak-for-three, two orders of garlic rice, one of white, two cokes and a beer came to something like ¥66,000. The guys who took me on trip wouldn't let me pay.

I'd claim that the steak was larger than it looks in the pic, but I'm sure most people here have heard that about a guy's meat before.

it's $.79 and pretty good. i think adding garlic and chopped onion will help. and I tasted the beef on it's own and isn't too sweet, so I guess it was the frozen peppers+onions mix making it a little too sweet

I might wanna get some mini tortilla shells to put my refried beans to use and make some double layer tacos.

It was pretty amazing.

During preparation, the cook carved off bits of fat and connective tissue, and let them grill until they were crispy, and then we ate them, too. It was pretty much perfect, start-to-finish, though I have had this kind of beef more often than I should admit, and never at those prices. My two friends felt like they'd had their trip to Mecca, and received their manna.

Post by: chronovore on December 14, 2011, 02:40:22 AM: Yeah, the guys really just wanted to do the whole experience, and it cost them.

If I was going to give them the quintessential Kobe beef experience, I'd argue that the cost is part of it. They both feel like they did the most epic beef raid in their life.

If I was going to give them the best steak experience, I'd have had my friend who runs his own teppanyaki shop grab some A5 grade Matsuzaka-gyuu, and had them forking that stuff into their gobs until they couldn't move, and they were sweating cow-grease out of their foreheads.

Yeah, I assume they can get wagyuu for cheaper in the USA, and it will be a lot cheaper. I mean, how can it not be? And I already got mail from the one who didn't pay, reminding me to say thanks to the one who did. That one's wife is probably going to shit a brick sideways over the bill.

When we lived in San Jose, there was a little Japanese bakery next to the Japanese supermarket on Saratoga. I think it was "Clover."

It's amazing what a jones we could get over Japanese breads, where even the mediocre stuff at Clover felt like manna from heaven.

Post by: chronovore on January 08, 2012, 10:25:02 AM: As far as I could tell, they're silkworm larvae. They were deep fried. They weren't too bad, unless I thought carefully about what I was eating. Like eating shell-on fried shrimp, except the filling is nutty.

From the same meal, goat:

Finally tried making some pork loin. Came out awesome! Wish I had a bbq around to sear the meat a bit more.

I learned something new that I'd never done before either. I ended up making roasted potatoes, a mix of red/yukon/purple with a bit of shallots and fresh garlic mixed with one awesome ingredient.

This added some awesome heat to the meal and made it taste so good.

TONIGHT I shall repeat but I'm gonna make some fresh green beans with prosciutto/shallots/blue cheese.

YUM. And I've been wanting to try bugs! They've been difficult to find in the Bay Area though. :(

Post by: G The Resurrected on January 08, 2012, 06:31:25 PM: You should come on down to the south bay lots of the Polynesian/Filipino places serve up bugs. There's even some Indian places in Sunnyvale that do cricket curry.

The place also had dog soup, but there are some lines I'm unwilling to cross.

I had some roasted dog once, was surprisingly decent. Kinda like duck.
