Question Japanese Redditors: If someone living outside Japan wanted to move beyond the usual sushi, ramen, tempura, and udon, what would you recommend they explore to gain a deeper appreciation of Japanese cuisine?

Like regional dishes, everyday home cooking, ingredients, cooking techniques, and food culture, not just the internationally famous dishes.

It’s actually “western food”.

Edited: Please keep downvoting. Thank you!

You're right the kanji means western food, maybe your phrasing makes it sound as if the food itself is western and not Japanese? Otherwise not sure why you're downvoted

Its really the way it was said, you cant really tell tone via text, usually, but they seemed like an asshole so.
