    Oishinbo - Vol. 36 Ch. 330 - The Japan-U.S. Rice War (Part 1)

    This is just trade protection and tariffting. I guess the author is pro tariff but I guess it makes sense. The japanese rice industry is way too frail and uncompetitive. But all that bogus about rice being the solely japanese culture is wild. Rice is grown and eaten all over east asia. Its...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 36 Ch. 328 - Magic Tweezers

    Never bother removing the small bones of fish like that. All that work for basically nothing. I eat them either fried, which makes the bone crunchy or stewed in a caramelized sauce. The fatty fish softened by the long stew paired with a sweet salty sauce and plenty of black pepper. Absolutely...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 36 Ch. 326 - The Truth About Mushrooms

    There aren't any comments on mushroom so I will add one. I believe people used (not sure how about now) intentionally mislabel oyster mushroom because they are cheap and easy to farm grown as opposed to more tasty and much more expensive look alikes. I recently had some wild mushroom hotpot...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 35 Ch. 325 - Side Dish Showdown (Part 3)

    Lads can we call this Japanese exceptionalism? I have tasted Japanese rices, it's way too mid for such an insane price. They arent even a main producer of rice.

    Seeing the photographer cream himself looking at kiwi on plate has gotta be the funniest thing in years

    Oishinbo - Vol. 35 Ch. 321 - The Chestnut Uproar

    Idk why the author is so mega nationalistic sometimes, never bother asking the "is it available?" and "for what price". And japanese products are well known to be insanely overpriced. I have eaten better norwegian salmon at one fifth of the price of the omasake ones

    Oishinbo - Vol. 35 Ch. 320 - The Fertile Land (Part 3)

    Yamaoka dish is literally just fried fish with a beer batter. It being Australian hardly even matters. This chapter feels rushed, both dishes are extremely uninspiring.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 35 Ch. 319 - The Fertile Land (Part 2)

    Problem is they clearly still wants to sell the real deal tempura. Of course the locals are gonna like it regardless because they don't know any better. Also calling a bad tempura fish and chips is just rude to the british lol. Try making fish and chips with milder, more delicate ingredients and...

    Oishinbo - Vol. 35 Ch. 317 - The Harm Of A Low Salt Diet?!

    Umeboshi isn't a normal pickle though. And watering down is common pratice especially if you are concerned about the salt content. I have tried traditional umeboshi before and its like getting whacked by a sledgehammer of taste hence the need for something milder.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 34 Ch. 316 - Ultimate VS Supreme Salad Showdown (Part 5)

    A salad goal's is not to force people to eat vegetables. It's to combine different types, elevating the flavour while maintaining the components greatness. Kaibara failed. Imagine that tomatoes accompanied by the crunch of lettuce, the saltyness of the seaweed and the aroma of toasted sesame...

    Never liked mayo in a salad anyway. I thought that used to be a eastern european/russian thing cuz they love mayo and its easy to store but hell so many damn restaurants serves mayo with delicious fresh lettuce its driving me insane. Not to mention mayo is not good for your health.

    Oishinbo - Vol. 34 Ch. 312 - Ultimate VS Supreme: Salad Showdown (Part 1)

    It's so weird, unhinged and over protective. I know its exaggerated but hell one second she's laughing and eating like normal and one second she's shouting like some madman

    Oishinbo - Vol. 33 Ch. 305 - A Home Without A Kitchen Knife

    Most of the time his solution feels so fairytale like despite dealing with real world issues. I feel like the logic in this chapter is incomprehensible. The solution is Pre cut makes things lose nutrition? How does that make any sense? Doesnt resolve the gender issue, doesnt resolve the back...

    Did the author forgot about these ladies back stories? Not only are they ungrateful, they are basically dissing their own husbands
