Top 6 Famous Japanese Food

There are thousands of thousands of different foods in Japan to choose, from the popular sushi to maybe some dish you have never heard of before. In this post, I will quickly go over some of the Top 6 most famous Japanese food out there!

1) Oden. Essentially just a variety of foods served in a light, soy-flavoured broth, oden is a hugely popular winter dish in Japan, and usually appears around September or October depending on the region. Warm, filling and tasty, there are all kinds of oden experiences to be had, with everything from typical convenience store fare to far more sophisticated takes on this winter warmer available from dedicated vendors.

2) Tempura. Tempura, probably of Latin tempora ('temporary'), is in the Japanese cuisine food that has been paned and then fried in oil. It is often about mushrooms, fish, shrimp, octopus, sweet potatoes or lotus root dipped in a frying pan consisting of water, flour and egg yolk (sometimes with added bicarbonate).

3) Soba. Soba is Japanese thin brown noodles of buckwheat that are usually served cooked with various accessories. Typically, serving cold soba as a snack in the summer and hot soba dishes during the cold season. The most common form is kake soba, "soba noodle soup". Kake soba consists of boiled soban noodles along with a hot broth made of dashi, mirin and Japanese soy sauce, served with sliced pickles.

4) Mochi. Mochi is a Japanese dish made of mochigome (sticky rice) used as an ingredient in several Japanese recipes, alternatively eaten separately. Mochi is eaten all year in Japan, but above all it is a tradition to eat mochi at the Japanese New Year.

5) Yakitori. Yakitori is a Japanese dish consisting of grilled chicken spotted. Traditionally, a yakitori consists only of different pieces of chicken and vegetables, but today's yakitori can be used to refer to beef, pork, fish, seafood or even vegetables, as long as they are spotted.

6) Shabu shabu. Shabu-shabu is a Japanese nabemono hotpot dish of thinly sliced meat and vegetables boiled in water. The term is onomatopoeic, derived from the sound emitted when the ingredients are stirred in the cooking pot and served with dipping sauces. The food is cooked piece by piece by the diner at the table. Shabu-shabu is considered to be more savory and less sweet than sukiyaki (a Japanese soup dish).

The Black-Haired Woman: Chiyuki

For this Character of the Week , I chose my favourite female protagonist ever. However, there will be heavy spoilers in this one, so beware if you have not seen the anime Death Parade yet! Her name in the anime is never revealed until the very end, and she has black hair with a tiny white strand on the right side, so she has always been known as The Black-Haired Woman (or, in Japanese, 黒髪の女 [Kurokami no Onna]). To fans, she is sometimes referred to as Onna , which means "woman" in Japanese. Her real name is Chiyuki , though her surname is unknown. The series followed Decim , the main character and the bartender of Quindecim , but the way Decim judges souls changes completely and the story makes a turn when the mysterious woman shows up at the bar. As she has no idea how or why she came there, she became Decim´s assistant at the bar and started helping him with the lost souls that comes frequently to the place, just like the black-haired woman. When you die, you arriv...

Corpse Party & Sachiko Shinozaki

Before starting with the Character of the Week, I would like to give background because I absolutely LOVE Corpse Party. It is so unique and, when I discovered it, unlike anything I had seen before! So, what is it? Corpse Party (in Japanese, コープスパーティー Kōpusu Pātī ) is a series of several things; Video games, anime OVA, manga works, drama CDs and live action films. I cannot go over every part of CP, that would be way too long of a blog post so I´ll be mostly talking about the games. This is the history & what it says on the official Fandom Wiki: "On April 22nd 1996, an adventure game called CORPSE-PARTY was published in the Spring 1996 edition of LOGIN Sofcom No.6 . It was made by a 22-year-old college student by the name of Makoto Kedouin , who typically stylizes his surname as Kedwin. On February 26th 1997, Kedwin won the grand prize in the Second Annual ASCII ENTERTAINMENT competition, netting him 5 million yen. It´d be nine years before the world saw Corpse Part...

Darling In The FranXX: 02

Today's "Character of the Week", I decided to include one of the main characters from the anime Darling In The FranXX, a short anime I really fancy. I will be talking about none other than Zero Two, or 002, the main heroine and the deuteragonist. Darling in the FranXX is a short (It has 1 season containing 24 episodes) Sci-Fi, Mecha, Action & Romance anime that premiered in winter 2018, airing from January 13th to July 7th 2018. Very well, onto the description: "In the distant future, humanity has been driven to near-extinction by giant beasts known as Klaxosaurs, forcing the surviving humans to take refuge in massive fortress cities called Plantations. Children raised here are trained to pilot giant mechas known as FranXX—the only weapons known to be effective against the Klaxosaurs - in boy-girl pairs. Bred for the sole purpose of piloting these machines, these children know nothing of the outside world and are only able to prove their existence by ...
