After the lemon filled hot pot warms up, the other ingredients are at the ready. The first batch of lemons are removed and the vegetables go in the pot. After the vegetables cook down to a nice soft texture, it's a good time to place a few pieces of sliced pork belly in the pot to cook for a few minutes before going right into your serving bowl, which is filled with a lemony dipping sauce, and a housemade lemony version of yuzukoshō chili paste. The lemons go into the hotpot to fortify the citrus aroma and background flavors. #gastronogram #feedyoursoull #forkyeah #chowhoundjapan #instayum #instafood #foodstagram #explorejapan #japaneats #japanfoodie #japanesefood #japanesefoodculture #yahoofood #yougottaeatthis #eater #eatthis #culinaryjapan #lefooding #jpfood #jpfoodies #foodporn #foodpics #eattheworld #food #foodforthought #chowhound (at Hiroshima Japanese food 広島郷土料理 RIVA)

This meat shop does a pretty good job using all parts of the 🐄. A regular izakaya item of stewed beef tendon is given a western treatment with some tomatoes and cheese, accompanied by a meager pile of sliced baguette. This is a keeper. But more bread please. #gastronogram #foodbeast #whatjapanesepeopleeat #forkyeah #chowhoundjapan #instayum #instafood #foodstagram #explorejapan #japaneats #japanfoodie #japanesefood #japanesefoodculture #yahoofood #yougottaeatthis #eater #eatthis #culinaryjapan #lefooding #jpfood #jpfoodies #foodporn #foodpics #eattheworld #food #foodforthought (at EG Meat & Wine, Hiroshima, Japan)

It's certainly not traditional, but this teppanyaki version of dak kalbi kind of hit the spot for something spicy, meaty, and a bit cheesy. #gastronogram #foodbeast #whatjapanesepeopleeat #forkyeah #chowhoundjapan #instayum #instafood #foodstagram #explorejapan #japaneats #japanfoodie #japanesefood #japanesefoodculture #yahoofood #yougottaeatthis #eater #eatthis #culinaryjapan #lefooding #jpfood #jpfoodies #foodporn #foodpics #eattheworld #food #foodforthought (at 日々来)

There's a local variety of #pork in Okayama that's has been given the unfortunate moniker of "peach pork", which is so named because one of Okayama's main products are peaches, as in those huge juicy white Japanese peaches. Despite its name, this is some really good pork. Here's a simple grilled thick cut loin. #gastronogram #whatjapanesepeopleeat #forkyeah #chowhoundjapan #instayum #instafood #foodstagram #explorejapan #japaneats #japanfoodie #japanesefood #japanesefoodculture #yahoofood #yougottaeatthis #eater #eatthis #culinaryjapan #lefooding #jpfood #jpfoodies #foodporn #foodpics #eattheworld #food #foodforthought #chowhound (at タボーラ タパス)

Here's an unusual item for Hiroshima folks. This is tempura fried pickles ginger, beni-shoga tempura. This is something that can be found in the Kansai region of Japan, especially in Osaka, where frying pickled ginger is de rigueur in the many kushi-katsu joints. Pickling ginger in a sweet vinegary brine allows the ginger to become sweet, less intense, and make them more pliable, giving them a nice sweet, spicy, chewy crunch. The sweet and savory tonkatsu sauce also helps by adding a bit of a fruity savory accent. #gastronogram #foodbeast #whatjapanesepeopleeat #forkyeah #chowhoundjapan #instayum #instafood #foodstagram #explorejapan #japaneats #japanfoodie #japanesefood #japanesefoodculture #yahoofood #yougottaeatthis #eater #eatthis #culinaryjapan #lefooding #jpfood #jpfoodies #foodporn #foodpics #eattheworld #food #foodforthought #chowhound (at おかめ)

Here's one of the more addictive, sinful items I order at my favorite local okonomiyaki joint. It's made from little piles of package grated cheese placed directly on the teppan flat grill until they flatten into discs. Little pieces of pork belly are sauteed right by the cheese, (sometimes a little bit of that pork fat gets mixed in there) and finished with torn butts of shiso leaves. A bit of ponzu is splashed over crunchy, pliable wafers when they're plated. Try to imagine all those layers of flavors and texture. #gastronogram #whatjapanesepeopleeat #forkyeah #chowhoundjapan #instayum #instafood #foodstagram #explorejapan #japaneats #japanfoodie #japanesefood #japanesefoodculture #yahoofood #yougottaeatthis #eater #eatthis #culinaryjapan #lefooding #jpfood #jpfoodies #foodporn #foodpics #eattheworld #food #foodforthought #chowhound (at 日々来)

This had so much potential. It certainly looks good, and you'll find a lot of it on IG, but this is one of those food trends going on in Japan that rings hollow. When you think of roast beef, you probably don't think Japan. And there's a reason for that. The gyū-katsu pieces that completes this combination donburi is much better than the roast beef, but I was expecting a bigger explosion of beef flavor like I've had at other gyū-katsu specialists. It wasn't there. Then there's the service. They served this with several little bowls of sauce, but no one explained what those sauces are for. The lesson here is...avoid chain shops serving this slop. I'll stick to the good yakiniku or steak shops that know how to cook beef. #gastronogram #whatjapanesepeopleeat #forkyeah #chowhoundjapan #instayum #instafood #foodstagram #explorejapan #japaneats #japanfoodie #japanesefood #japanesefoodculture #yahoofood #yougottaeatthis #eater #eatthis #culinaryjapan #lefooding #jpfood #jpfoodies #foodporn #foodpics #eattheworld #food #foodforthought #chowhound (at 京都勝牛)
