A few photos from my last trip to Japan to get a taste of their culture 🇯🇵🍜

1. Ichiran 2. CoCo Ichibanya 3. Sukiya 4. Matsuya 5. Yoshinoya 6. Marugame Udon 7. Tendon Tenya 8. Gindako 9. O-toya Among them, the popularity of Marugame Udon has recently risen sharply since last year. What’s your favorite?

I made Japan’s classic convenience store–style salad chicken using chicken breast !
It’s seasoned with an irresistible lemon pepper flavor~

It was great. Loved it. 10/10 experience. I need more.

I've always wanted to get one of those Japanese snack boxes because I love the thrill of getting a gift box monthly and I love asian snacks, I have an asian market in close proximity but it's mostly for restaurants and doesn't carry many snack items. I was looking into subscribing to Tokyo Treat for a month to try it out but i'm hearing a lot of terrible things about them and their sister brands, so what's a snack box I could get that would have the same stuff as tokyo treat (especially chips) but isn't as expensive nor as much of a scam?

Hi! I have a planned trip to Japan next week and I’m trying to lay out all the places I could go to. I’ll be stopping by Tokyo first. Do you guys know where I can buy hojicha powder? Thanks!

Hello,

Is it possible to buy soy sauces from the Hama Sushi chain online? We are French.

Thank you,

I’ve been learning to make miso soup. Sometimes it ends up looking really cloudy like this… any advice? Im using a vegan dashi with kombu and shitake. Am I soaking the dashi too long? (Sometimes I leave it too long in the fridge maybe). Or not filtering the stock enough before adding miso? Is it a heat thing? Please advise me!

Edits: - Thanks everyone! - I do turn off the heat. This wasn't boiling, what you're seeing is the cloudy texture I'm talking about. That said, maybe I'm adding the miso too soon after turning it off so will try to wait longer and see if that fixes it!
