When I lived in Okinawa, whenever I went to a local restaurant, no matter what I ordered, it came with a side of white rice. A hamburger lunch, a side of white rice. Tacos with Spanish rice, a side of white rice. I loved it, so miss it..
@@YeahImRoseYeah, measuring cooked rice in cups feels weird; wouldn’t that be like measuring cooked rice in deciliters? And I don’t really use Yankie Units, but wouldn’t ounces be a better equivalent for weight?
Perhaps it’s a lot by Japanese standards? 2.5 cups is 20 ounces. That’s about the size of those square take out boxes from Chinese places in the US. Not a large amount here, but we do tend to have bigger portions.
What’s Japan like with asking for a meal but removing certain parts? Like if you were to ask for that without the spaghetti is that ok or is it frowned upon?
I wouldn't consider rice part of the equation when mentioning portion size, just because it's sooo incredibly cheap to have a mountain of it. Nothing to even pay attention to
I miss one of the restaurants that had portions like that around where I live. That diner was gone after quarantine and found out later that quarantine wasn't the cause, but just a part of the process.

Do it! It's lovely. The people are nice, a week of trips via train was less than $25 USD, I took 20,000 jpy (at the time $150 USD) with me, I spent less than half of it for the week, and I did tons of things

It's weird how in places like Japan this is seen as a cool novelty, but in the actual west, people (both westerners and non) only complain about how gross it is and that its only making our obesity rates higher. ... Meanwhile the only reason huge portion sizes exist is so that customers can actually bring the rest home and have food for the next few days. 💀 People that don't grow up with privilege appreciate these things, and restaurant owners see that. It's almost like these small family owned businesses have a bond with the neighborhood. In my opinion, it's very heartwarming in such a place plagued with starvation and homelessness. It really bugs me to see westerners forget that.
Those huge mounds of extremely hot rice make me think of a sports anime - this is totally the kind of meal the baseball team is happily scarfing down at the end of their baseball camp or something. 😂
Those portions are like what Europeans think Americans eat for every meal
And they would be wrong. Based on our obesity rates, this is just a light snack in America.

"I don't order what I can't finish". Broth of the ramen: are you sure about that?
Bro is a coward for never finishing the broth most of the time.
Even with teh broth: It's that I finish it or cry and finish it. I hate wasting good food.

More rice, more steam. There's more to hold the heat in!
"The spaghetti was inoffensive but i would still prefer for it to just leave" is such a raw line
