In reply to Drew | The Hungry Partier. Thanks, Drew. How was your trip to Kyoto? Did you eat well? Korea is on our list. Will definitely let you know when we're headed that way.

In reply to izzy. At the top of the Japanese Soups entry, there's a photo of ramen from Tenkaippin, which is one of the ramen chains in Japan. If you have additional information or context to share regarding ramen noodles in Japan, please do!

@Janet: Do you remember the name of the Osaka-style okonomiyaki place? Glad our piece brings back good memories of Japanese food.

I have this soft spot for Japanese food. Love it so much, the flavours, and sometimes even the way it’s eaten! Everything is so gracious and nuanced. Speaking of the Osaka-style okonomiyaki, there is this amazing shop next to the serviced apartments I stayed in while I was there (Fraser Residence Osaka, just off Namba station) that sells amazing okonomiyaki. You should try it if you have the chance!Reading your post brings back great memories! And the pictures look delicious too.

@Perry: Japanese cuisine has to be one of the most thoughtfully presented, if not *the* most thoughtfully presented, on the planet. And our visit barely scratched the surface of all the facets and meaning of Japanese food presentation.

I love the presentation of Japanese food. They put so much thought into it.

@Sutapa: Our first takoyaki experience was actually in New York in 2010 at a place called Otafuku, if that’s of any help. Happy takoyaki-seeking.

@Mika: Excellent. That was the aim: cover Japanese food as wide as we could, but also give some guidance and tips. It’s a broad subject. Have fun, eat well and let us know how it goes!

@Bessie: Good times! Definitely remember the takoyaki. In fact, just recommended Otafuku above. Glad you liked the curation. It was a bit of an effort to pick and choose, and distill it all into something vaguely intelligible and actionable (edible?). Glad it worked!
