This is a very difficult challenge. And I know that the recipe to be picked is at random, but I would have no pride left if I picked Spicy Tuna Hand Roll....but I will keep it simple. The square Japanese omelet, usually rolled with something delicious inside.
Not my recipe, and maybe behind a paywall, but homemade Japanese curry bricks are definitely worth making. Can be frozen and used as needed for delicious meals. And flexible. Meat curries are obvious, but these are great for vegetarian curries too. Japanese curries are very different from Indian curries. Milder, but different and taste worthy. https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020451-japanese-curry-brick
I love noodles, especially a good bowl of ramen. But I think my all-time favorite Japanese dish would be the chawanmushi I ate at a restaurant in Oregon seven years ago.
Through the lens of Netflix - Midnight Diner! - I've gotten a better idea of the wide range of Japanese cuisine, and Japanese people's nostalgic attachment to foods. My favorite, without actually having traveled there, will have to be tempura udon. Very curious to see Tim Anderson's new book! and of course it would be great to catch up on British Masterchef.
While ramen was my first thought, my second was onigiri at a local Japanese restaurant. They fill it with a ground meat mixture. The first bite made me think of New Orleans dirty rice with a Japanese kick. It's so good.
Its always going to be ramen

Any kind of rice bowl. Love rice, love bowls😏
I still think about the tonkatsu I had outside Tokyo. The sushi was amazing, but it’s that tonkatsu that I still relish.
i would love a rice bowl but i dont see the two recipies. are they hiding?

Homemade curry roux is the best! I've enjoyed making curry roux from this recipe, which isn't paywalled: https://www.justonecookbook.com/how-to-make-curry-roux/
(I also like to add MSG to homemade roux, which most recipes omit)
Nami is the best!
I love so many dishes, but my current favorite is chicken curry katsu don.

I love inari sushi. My grandmother made the best sushi rice
Homemade inari sushi is so good! Not always easy to find the fried tofu puffs to make them. They are also easy to pack for lunch.
Gotta have Japanese pickles with this…
Bowls and bento--sounds delicious!
Bring on the recipes and fingers crossed on the book.
Inari all the way!
