Are they apologizing for not having it in a little banchan bowl on the side with a couple other goodies? I’m pretty sure most Koreans would prefer to have some kimchi with bland Japanese food lol.
At least the Brits were good at sailing at one point in their history… I don’t know how an island nation has been completely dunked on in nearly every naval engagement in their history.
But yeah… Japanese food is more like English food than Korean or Chinese food imo. The traditional food is mainly flavored by broth, they fry everything they can, mayonnaise on everything, and the only thing that isn’t bland is the watered down curry.

IIRC, in Japanese martial history, they really only used ships as floating battlefields for infantry when various lords fought each other. Since their only strategy was board, the Korean turtle ships were designed as a hard counter to that
That explains why I was so underwhelmed by the ramen shop I went to in Chicago. It was soooo bland. Not like the overly salty shit they sell in US supermarkets is great, but I was just expecting more other flavors not just… bland.

Aka a strategy that went out of style a couple thousand years ago.
They also did very poorly in ww2. Wildly betting on “if battleship good, giant battleship is best”.

In my Japanese class, my teacher taught us to say Japanese food is bland, I asked if it would be insulting and he say not at all.
Yes. Also eating that amount of kimchi would be eating more vegetables in one sitting than the average Japanese person eats in a month.
I’m not even joking.
I think they are apologizing for inventing a fucked up version of bibimbop?
Bibimbap is so much better than donburi that it’s almost insulting to compare lol. Gimbap is also a lot better than sushi.
Preaching to the choir brother. I am Korean, so I might be a tad biased.
