It is ok to put other country's ingredients into Japanese BUN then sell at Japan. But when you make some "Japan Food" in other country by using non-Japan ingredient. That's a big mistake.

[@wayneyam1262]

good point

[@The13thSpiral]

That's dumb. When you want to have a Japanese week in a "culinary" show you are supposed to "exhibit" their cooking styles and their ingredients! Doing these stunts just questions the authenticity of the show and that's what Nigel and yuya are doing.

[@jamesshen7066]

Well, creative liberty is all good, but there has to be an underline theme that relates to the topic. This is supposed to be a episode about Japanese bakery. How does any of these food even shows anything Japanese? You simply can't just say that because McDonalds McChicken is sold in Japan, therefore I can get away with making a crispy chicken sandwich and call it Japanese-inspired food.

[@onyxtheforsaken]

As a Scottish woman I have been hiding behind my hands with this video because when I watched this when it aired I was like... is this not more Chinese food? Or just not the right thing 😬 I’m no expert in Japanese food by any means but there was so much in this episode which wasn’t culturally accurate and to quote uncle roger “HAIYAAAA 😰” 😂

Cranachan is a dessert of raspberries with oats, cream, whiskey and honey (usually Heather). Cullen skink is effectively a fish soup. We also have Scottish macaroon which I won’t tell you how it’s made 👀 but it’s amazing. Especially Irn Bru flavour 😁 Oh, and we all takeaway fish and chips a fish supper 😋 you’ll get deep fried pizza in a chip shop, black pudding in batter that sort of thing.

@@onyxtheforsaken Wow. It's kind've amazing hoiw Pizza's become such a global thing in many different countries at this point. Also your dessert sounds interesting. I'm assuming since you put whisky in the Cranachan, it's a dessert saved for like, special occasions so to speak?

[@lorenzo4164]

There is also the Italian version of this show that is called "Bake off Italia - Dolci in forno" (the litteral translation is "Bake off Italy - sweets in the oven"). There were also a Japanese test episode but they did mochi. Also as a guest judge there were a proper Japanese chef (that worked for a 3 stars Michelin restaurant). So, by watching the english version I think the Italian one is better.

The Japanese element was supposed to be the steamed buns, that's on the show creators if it isn't. The contestants are told they can use any filling, typically people will not use traditional fillings as it is seen as a safe option and the judges like them to show they are good with new/different flavour combinations. This was also only 1 of 3 items they had to bake on the show, the other things they baked on this episode was a 'Matcha crepe cake' and what they called a 'Kawaii cake'.

[@Katnipkitkat_Cthulhu]

I live in Japan since 2003. I only met one person who has oven for baking and they had oven because they made cakes to sell. The closest thing to an oven (that everywhere I've seen so far) is a small "drawer" underneath the gas hobs that is very shallow and used mostly for baking fish. Or they have a combo microwave/baking oven, but that is usually only big enough to barely fit a pie, a square pan or cupcakes tin will technically fit, but you can't use them because the heating element is in one place and the pan needs to rotate to get even cooking so you need to use round pan. Having a Japanese week on a baking show doesn't even make sense.

[@kentokyo]

“Katsu カツ” is the shorten form of “katsuretsu カツレツ” (Japanese breaded cutlet); so it doesn’t have to be pork. Surely pork cutlet, especially with Japanese curry, is very popular but various ingredients can be used and called katsu, such as beef and chicken. Also, ground beef メンチカツ、skewered 串カツ are common as well.

_Mukashi mukashi_ when I was still convinced I had the discipline to learn to speak Japanese (or any language), my class finished the semester by going to a Japanese restaurant called Katsu's. We put in all the food as a single order ahead of time (we went on a Tuesday when the restaurant was normally closed, but Katsu-san opened just for us), and at the end of the night when it was time to pay, there was a discrepancy and the bill showed items that weren't ordered (I think, I wasn't directly involved), and the waitress got into an argument about it with sensei, and Katsu-san had to come out to mediate it. It was resolved somehow, but later sensei mentioned that in Japan, if you saw an error on your bill like that and you said there was an error, that the restaurant would just remove the items from the bill without a question, and if the waitress had been Japanese then she wouldn't have argued with him. I just assumed that this was the case because sensei said that it was, but I didn't really believe it was true then, and I still don't really believe that. Is that true that you just have to say that something on the bill was an error and they'll remove it? (You mentioned that the culture of the customer always being right is too strong in Japan, and that's why I thought of this)

[@tSp289]

I know it's basically bao, but I had nikuman from a street-side seller in Kyoto during the autumn festival, and it instantly became one of my favourite foods! Next time I was in Japan I spent several hours in Tokyo trying to find a well-regarded nikuman chef in shin nakamise. Totally worth it. Such a shame none of them tried to make it the traditional way, as it tastes amazing. Probably because it's so hard to find in the UK, you can only get cheap low-quality bao from supermarkets, so they've never had a good one and tried to do their own thing.

[@HajimotoSaito]

I think what Uncle Roger was criticizing here is the fact that the show said Japanese Week. Meaning creating Japanese Pastries involving Japanese Ingredients. Seeing Pizza Buns in Japan, it can be considered fusion, combining Japanese Steam Buns and Italian Pizza. However in a cooking show/competition that specifically states Japanese Week with Japanese Steam Buns as the dish, you have to make it that not only is it the Dish but it also is a Dish made using the Ingredients of the theme and making it pop out or elevate those ingredients that highlights the theme first and for most. PS Wait, people thought you are like a Yakuza with your haircut? Personally do not see it. All I can see is it looks good on you and the benefits of the haircut for someone who works at a Food Industry/Business.

That "steamed chips" bit was Sarcasm. I guess British people do use Sarcasm quite fluidly.

I laughed so hard watching this week. My mom, sister, and I were grilling these dudes so hard. So inauthentic, but amusing.

OK, here's the explanation I think. I *am* somewhat disappointed not to see more Japanese influences here. But that said, these rounds tend to be more about using some core idea (in this instance, a cute steamed bun) and then being creative with it. In fact, I think if somebody just made the traditional version of what they'd asked for they'd probably be marked down for it.

Do they have Kaya bun in Japan? Buns or Pau in Malaysia usually be Kaya, Red Bean(Most people favourite), Coconut, Chicken, Beef and chocolate. Kaya if you don't know is a jam consist of Coconut milk, eggs and sugar. Another version is adding Pandan too. I would say the taste is sweet and suitable for dessert.

Personally I prefer kaya bun over red bean bun.

It's always fun to watch Uncle Roger's videos and your own takes on his videos. On this one it's clear how people tend to mix or misunderstand foreign cultures, but not necessarily in an offensive way, at least in my opinion. Asia lies so far away, that in Europe and America we easily forget the variety and complexity of their culture. Thanks.

"Don't go for the cheapest one. They have a reason for being that cheap". Woah.

[@newname3718]

it's true, but not all expensive ones has the reason to be that expensive. Quality is still the main factor for consideration. We could give up some features that are not important to us, never judge from the price alone.
