I think it's probably fair to say Japanese food is pretty bland compared to a lot of other cuisines, but it's not like it's bad or anything.

edit: like, especially when we're talking compared to like, Indian or American shit.

True. I live in Japan too, and feel this way.

Japanese food is good, but. You cant go into it with the mindset of other food. The strength of Japanese food comes in the quality of ingredients, the slight variations it can be made (cause lets face it, there is very little variety in major Japanese dishes, so unique takes on them are a strong point), and the presentation are what matter most. It is hard to get i to it, but it does make sense the longer you live here, and you grow an appreciation for it. Even if American food TASTES better, it actually starts to FEEL worse.

Thats my experience from being immersed into it anyway.

I dont hate Japanese curry, i just think it doesnt carry the strength of other Japanese food. It feels sloppy and careless, which is very. Unlike most Japanese food.
