🔥🏆 Japanese Food Tournament — GRAND FINAL 🏆🔥
We’ve reached the end of the tournament.
After weeks of voting and many delicious battles, only two dishes remain.
Now it all comes down to this…
🥇 THE GRAND FINAL 🥇
🍚 Hitsumabushi vs 🥩 Jingisukan
Refined Nagoya tradition versus bold northern barbeque.
Only one will be crowned our community’s Favourite Japanese Food.
🍚 Hitsumabushi (ひつまぶし)
A celebrated specialty from Nagoya, hitsumabushi features grilled unagi (eel) served over rice — but with a unique twist.
You enjoy it in stages:
First on its own, then with toppings like green onion and wasabi, finally with broth poured over to create a comforting ochazuke-style dish.
Why it made the final:
- Rich, smoky eel flavour
- A multi-stage dining experience
- Elegant and deeply traditional
- A dish that feels special every time
This is layered Japanese culinary artistry.
🥩 Jingisukan (ジンギスカン)
A proud specialty of Hokkaidō, jingisukan features lamb grilled on a distinctive dome-shaped metal plate.
The meat cooks on top while vegetables below absorb the juices, creating a smoky, communal BBQ experience that’s perfect for sharing.
Why it fought its way here:
- Bold, unique lamb flavour
- Social grilling experience
- Strong regional identity
- A dish built for gatherings
This is northern Japan’s grilling pride.
