The Japanese food scene in Singapore, KL, Bangkok and Taipei were amazing frankly. I mean excluding Japan. <\/p>

It was easy to get anything we saw that was popular or trendy in Japan, immediately. Those cities just had large Japanese expat populations and chefs. <\/p>

One of my school friends in high school was also from Japan and their family ran a cute little eatery in their living room. We went often. It was delicious and home cooked. <\/p>

Now you can get stuff at every price range in those places. Roasted sweet potato filled with Hokkaido butter? 24\/7 in some places. Fluffy cheesecakes? Strawberry sando? Good quality gyoza? All super easy. Endless ramen variations and types. <\/p>

I miss that terribly. Compared to whatever this is, Japanese food as fine dining mostly, where I am. <\/p>

It was easy to get anything we saw that was popular or trendy in Japan, immediately. Those cities just had large Japanese expat populations and chefs. <\/p>

One of my school friends in high school was also from Japan and their family ran a cute little eatery in their living room. We went often. It was delicious and home cooked. <\/p>

Now you can get stuff at every price range in those places. Roasted sweet potato filled with Hokkaido butter? 24\/7 in some places. Fluffy cheesecakes? Strawberry sando? Good quality gyoza? All super easy. Endless ramen variations and types. <\/p>

I miss that terribly. Compared to whatever this is, Japanese food as fine dining mostly, where I am. <\/p>

Living in Singapore we were always on top of the latest food trends in Japan (hugely competitive Japanese dining scene, with many operators from all over Japan figuring out it\u2019s easier to make good money with all kinds of regional cuisines and desserts in Singapore)<\/p>

So I\u2019m already a decade into the \u2018basil and cheese\u2019 on udon or ramen trend. Anyway, I just had that here in SF. <\/p>

I missed it terribly. It\u2019s not for everyone. (The Aomori udon at Taniku)<\/p>

In the Peninsula and South Bay, Ramen Nagi has always had a delicious green ramen with the same vibes (also my fave ramen in this whole area. Yes it\u2019s a chain. Yes it\u2019s better than all the fancy ones with awards.)<\/p>
