Anyone ever had grilled Unagi before? How about some authentic Tonkotsu Ramen? Any Japanese food lovers? My first time with Unagi a couple days ago, I was NOT disappointed.

@bijouxbroussard I had heard on a video that it was like top of the line stuff. I was hesitant but when I saw it on the menu I was like...ohhh we are gonna chow tonight! Lmao

@huskyguy89 I also like natto (fermented soybeans) which is an acquired taste. When my father was stationed in Japan after the Korean conflict, he was introduced to it. Years later, he would go to Japan Town in the city and bring some home. That’s how I got used to it. Mom would make us eat it out in the garage ! 😅

@bijouxbroussard that's pretty awesome sounds almost like Tofu in a way, which I've not tried lol

I enjoy their fried meat dishes. I line Miso soup too.

@soar2newhighs that's what my girl went for was the Bento box with chicken. :) She's more picky than I am but lol

@huskyguy89 There was a tiny shop ( long since closed) in NYC’s Greenwich village that was run by a Japanese man and staff where I’d often go for such good fried dishes. Miss the place.

I enjoy sushi, but I'm vegetarian.
So my toppings stick to avo, cucumber, soy, wasabi and mayo.

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@basilfawlty89 I'm definitely down to try that! And wasabi woo!

@Degbeme probably my favorite Japanese food now!

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@SW-User lol I'm not Japanese myself either way welcome to the party! Lol what're some unique ones you've tried before? Or would recommend to anyone?

@huskyguy89 Beef Negimaki is my fave.

Magnolia21 · 22-25, F

I've had good stuff. Inarizushi is simple but tasty.

@bijouxbroussard Yep, tasty and comforting. Too bad the place I got them from is... 500-ish miles away.

bijouxbroussard · F

@Magnolia21 Oh, that’s too bad. I no longer live near where I used to get them, either. 🥺

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@Magnolia21 I'm sorry it's so far..the place I tried this is about 800 or so miles away. :( I feel ya on that, unrelated but I love your Lulu profile pic. :)

Unagi is eel. I like it. For some the taste is kinda strong.

bijouxbroussard · F

@badminton It’s funny, to me it’s always just tasted like barbecued fish.

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@bijouxbroussard same here!

Wizardry · 46-50, M

Yes

TryingtoLava

I like salmon rolls :)

ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F

I like miso soup, ginger salad dressing, sushi rolls that have cooked meat in them like crab or lobster, green tea ice cream, and edamame. I don't like fish so it rules out a lot of items, but I like the seasoning in Japanese cuisine.

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@ChampagneOnIce we had green ice cream too! I wasn't sure if it was matcha or what but it was delicious

Ontheroad · M

Absolutely love it! Sushi and Sashimi are big favorites, plus real ramen, yakisoba and omurice (home style not the fancy restaurant stuff), Hakusai No Tsukemono (fermented cabbage) and many more - had a Japanese girlfriend when I lived over there and ate nothing but.

@Ontheroad oddly enough Hokkaido is one I've had my eye on for a long time

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@Ontheroad and I'm definitely a country boy so small towns and friendly people are perfect for me. :)

Ontheroad · M

@huskyguy89 the most beautiful part of Japan and regardless of what time of year you go, there is always something to do... including winter sports.

BizSuitStacy · M

Yum. Love grilled unagi. That looks delicious.

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@BizSuitStacy my first try of it too. Was awesome!

Northwest · M

Grilled Unagi is great. It's usually brushed with teriyaki sauce. I love Nigiri and Sashimi.

pentacorn · F

i want it all... with a seaweed salad side, pls 😌

Morrigan · F

Japanesse is a favourite, it is always my choice when we go out to eat ( I think my husband has stopped asking where I would like to go) and unagi is delicious!

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@Morrigan lol my girl is a pizza lover (same as I am) so our go-to is usually pizza. Lol but man I loved Japanese food. I'm looking for places here back home lmao

LilMissAnonyMOUSE · F

Those dishes look good.

My favorites are : Smoked unagi, shrimp and vegetable Tempura with tempura sauce, chicken katsu, many of their meat dishes and Wakame seaweed salad😋

@huskyguy89 haha...you will need it if you order many in one sitting ☺️ Try them, seriously, you'll love them for sure!

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@LilMissAnonyMOUSE I'm looking forward to it ;)

LilMissAnonyMOUSE · F

@huskyguy89 ☺️👍

DDonde · 31-35, M

I've never yet had Unagi. I do like sushi though

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@DDonde sushi was one of those foods I was wary of at first..(plus I don't eat a lot of fish) but when I tried it and realized there's wasn't any "fishy" flavor to it. I wondered what else I missed out on..lol you see the end result 🤣

DDonde · 31-35, M

@huskyguy89 Yeah I feel like you have be in an adventurous spirit to try some Japanese food for the first time

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@DDonde or at least very...very bored of the usual lol

Notladylike

Japanese food is my fav 😋

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@Notladylike what's your favorite? I'm like making a list of things to try so far lol

Notladylike

@huskyguy89 Aburi Salmon is my favourite

Zaphod42 · 46-50, M

The Japanese definitely know how to cook eel 🤤

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@Zaphod42 I was blown away by the smokey, sorta barbecue flavor it had! 🤤🤤🤤 Wasn't what I'd expected at..all.

Soossie

I’m not an expert in Japanese food… but I love any kind of ramen and I liked octopus soup too…

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@Soossie I've never had octopus soup before! The ramen we had was the first authentic style I've ever had. I don't know if I can ever go back to the package stuff lol

Wiseacre · F

I used to eat a lot of it in Hawaii, but frankly, not enough food for me! I like saki.

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@Wiseacre I've never had sake but I've been really wanting to try it.

Wiseacre · F

Try it@huskyguy89

PhoenixPhail · M

I LOVE Japanese food. But, I've never had grilled Unagi or Tonkotsu Ramen.
I'm certainly willing to try them, though. 😋

@PhoenixPhail let me know how ya like it!

PhoenixPhail · M

@huskyguy89 I will. I'll have to make a special trip. I don't eat out very often.
I've found their menu online before. I'll look at it again. Thanks for the recommendation. 🍣

PhoenixPhail · M

@huskyguy89 I found T O N K AT S U S A U C E on the menu, but no Unagi.

If you see it on the menu, let me know.

Eklipse · F

Just the sushi but I can't take for now.

Funlov · M

Lov the food

JamieDeer ·

I think my all time favorite Japanese food is curry. We have it nearly twice a month in my house. Taiyaki with bean paste filling is probably my second favorite.

SW-User

unagi is one of my favorite foods ever 😩❤️

bugeye · 26-30, F

there's a Japanese seafood restaurant in the Town near me and its amazing. tried calamari for the first time ever there 🤩

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@bugeye that's another I'm curious about.

Ghostinthemachine · M

Love it.
Give the Japanese curry a try, unlike any other curry.
Even on pork or chicken tonkatsu

huskyguy89 · 31-35, M

@Ghostinthemachine 🤤 will do!
