Japanse or Thai?

Question

Thai food is too spicy for me. I view Japanese food as the equivant of heaven.

Which do you guys like more and why?

Answer 1

Thai.  I love spice, but there are lots of Thai dishes that are not at all spicy.  I encourage you to try more things.

I like Japanese too, but I resent paying the prices most Japanese restaurants charge for dishes that seem so basic.  Give me Thai or Vietnamese!

My one exception is soup.  I love Vietnamese pho, but I ADORE and CRAVE Japanese udon and ramen.

Answer 2

I totally agree!

Answer 3

Spicy food is fine with me but the occasional Japanese meal is just as welcoming as is appetizing. However Thai food excites the pallette like no other cuisine on earth with a wide range of dishes to satiate every taste sensation. Japanese are pretty to look at and maybe a bit healthier but taste-wise they can be bland because they like their food as 'natural' as possible often without accompanying sauces or marinades. I prefer Thai but can live on Japanese forever.

Thai food:  more variety, more spice, more flavors....

I love them both too, but if I HAD to choose, it would be Thai.  I find the flavors to be more exotic. I love yum yai.  :)

I love both...we eat more Thai, probably cause it's cheaper...but I feel a little guilty afterward cause of fat and calories...but i can't get enough of the spice...i love heat!

Answer 17

Japanese food especially their sushi and sashimi because it is so light and after when I eat them, I feel so light and refreshed^^

Answer 18

why choose? i love them both!

some of my fave in j*p: sashimi (esp lobster! yum), sushi, yakitori, ramen, cold udon/soba, ten don, katsu curry, amazing flavoured ice creams (like green tea, red bean, sesame, yams, tofu)

thai: laab (spicy minced chicken with beans), squid salad, pad thai, red curries, chicken rice, fish/prawn cakes, rare beef salad

god i'm hungry!!

Answer 19

Thai! I love spice, and I find it more flavorful than Japanese food, both in strength and complexity (most Japanese dishes that do have a sauce or spice have one or two, whereas Thai sauces are a blend.) Also, as a whole Japanese food has more sodium than Thai, and sodium gives me a really bad headache. There are some Japanese foods I love, though, because I'm addicted to seaweed.

Answer 20

Soup wise, Thai is better. In my opinion, Miso soup is just water with loads of msg. Thai soup- especially tom yum- is full of flavor. The perfect mix of spicy and sour.

Answer 21

Japanese, Ichiberri made me fall in love with it!!!!
