>>72585752Japanese curry is a severe step down from Indian, it relies too heavily on being extremely salty and umami and loses a ton of spiciness on the way
Ramen can be better than simple broth done in Europe/States, but it's really bland compared to most Chinese/Vietnamese/Indian soups as well
I'd take Mediterranean or Mexican cuisine over Japanese any day, and I'd take most other Asian cuisines over those two
