Making the ULTIMATE Japanese Food Tier List

You gotta do an Australian food tier list now

Definitely need a second video because there are a lot more foods you need to rate: Takoyaki, gyoza, unagi, miso soup, curry, korokke, and what about desserts? Awesome video 👍

Joey: "GODLIKE" proceeds to put said item to B-tier

japanese food does indeed go exquisitely hard

Just noticing you're really leaning into the Karen thing with that hair cut.

Tier list for common Japanese snacks/desserts next please (although some with western influence, but still popular in Japan or Japan made it its own version): ex. castella, baumkuchen, mochi, daifuku, dango, sakura-mochi, warabimochi, taiyaki, dorayaki, piyoko, TokyoBanana, Kitkats, etc)

In English we still call it edamame, it's written on store packaging and everything (at least in the US). But they are soy beans, so you could say that as well.

It can be pretty expensive, but a good unagi-don is godlike Also, Okonomiyaki is amazing and I'm so sad it's not more available in the states. It and yakisoba are some of my favorite summer time street foods

I had a bowl of grilled Eel in the fish market in Ohsaka. Sometimes I'll stare into the distance thinking back "god that sh*t slapped".

I personally love Japanese curry, it like the best part of stew and curry came together and made magic ✨️... im surprised it never on lists like this, it totally worth a try of anyone hasn't try it

I would love to know the demographics of Joey’s viewers with how often he calls us all ‘my boys’ 😂

I am shocked and appalled that you forgot about the best edible thing Japan has to offer, Bee Larvae.

A someone who lived in Japan for a total of 2 years over 3 stays in 5 years, I actually agree with most of this. Natto I had to warm up to, but it grew on me, and now I would put it in C. If we include all the varieties of ramen you can often get at ramen shops like tantanmen, I'd put it in A tier. I completely agree tsukemen is better, absolute S tier, but ramen is still f-ing delicious, and I love how many varieties there are. You could eat ramen everyday for a year in Tokyo, without having to eat the exact same type of ramen twice. Nabe is an easy S tier for me, as are yakitori, and one food that wasn't on here, Oden. Katsudon and Yakisoba would be A tier for me, just like gyutan and yakiniku. I also would put both tempura and soba in C. I agree that tempura can be very basic in flavor, but I still like it and I had some pretty amazing tempura as well. Soba for me is always solid, never bad, but also never great. Idk if I just never had realy amazing soba, or if it's just not my taste, but I always feel like it's a bit boring. Sushi/Sashimi would "only" be an A, considering the diferance in quality between expensive and cheap ones. Lastly, another food you didn't mention that is one of my absolute favorite comfort foods is Oyakodon, another A tier.

I'm glad Okonomiyaki ended up in your S tier. I was never a fan of cabbage but ever since i made okonomiyaki at home, i've been in love with it. Obviously the sauces on top help with the taste a lot but even on it's own it's great in flavour and texture.

Didn't see this here, but my favorite from what I've tried so far, which admittedly is a limited selection- takoyaki. Not on its own, I think its great for chilling with friends for drinks. I live in the South US though, it's very difficult to find authentic Japanese food here, and the places I do know are either very expensive or have a limited selection. Thankfully, takoyaki is not something that's missing from those menus.

aww hell yeah, food tier lists always make my day

Watching food tier list at 2AM. Now I'm hungry. 🤤🤤🤤

Went to Japan with my family on a packaged tour, but we did tons of stuff, and my mom (who usually dislikes food outside of Vietnam) cleans her plate every meal and want to make some of the dishes back home. Hopefully we can visit Japan again some time in the future and hit up other places.

i tried natto for the first time 2 years ago. and i have to say, that's one of the most misunderstood food in the world. the testure is no more "disgusting" than hot cheese on a pizza slice. the taste when nothing's added is kinda bland with a hint of bitterness. but usually they come with special soy souce and other stuff that makes them taste awesome. i now get cravings from time to time and have to make a 2.5 hour round trip to a japanese grocer to get pre-packaged ones.
