Tonkatsu sauce is just sweeter brown sauce. Soy sauce is worse Worcestershire sauce. Everything is covered in sickly sweet mayo. I'll eat sushi when it's battered and fried.

    Iron Chef (OG) begs to differ

    I guess it all depends on how you define these terms ultimately, but as many have said in the comments, "Japanese food" generally includes influences from many other regional cultures, while "British food" is not generally recognized to include food influences outside of the UK. This makes your statement seem really damn ridiculous to many people.

    If you replaced "British food" with something more descriptive you might have a point.

    If there was a Japanese restaurant with a version of 'fish and chips', it would likely be pretty good compared to a British restaurant (never really seen one of these) with a version of a Japanese dish for instance.

      If someone thinks "japanese cuisine" includes everything made by a japanese person while judging british cuisine conpletely differently the problem is they are a mooncalf.

        it's really no contest

        Many people in a 2021 survey had never eaten such traditional favourites as toad in the hole, spotted dick, scotch eggs, black pudding, or bubble and squeak, and a minority did not believe these dishes existed.

        LMAO

        In February 2012, the Agency for Cultural Affairs recommended that 'Washoku: Traditional Dietary Cultures of the Japanese' be added to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. On December 4, 2013, "Washoku, traditional dietary cultures of the Japanese, notably for the celebration of New Year" was added to UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage, bringing the number of Japanese assets listed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list to 22.
