Tribal People Try Tempura For The First Time!
About this video
Japanese food, tried for the first time by villagers from rural Punjab, Pakistan. Nobody tells them what to say. Some like it, some don't, and in the Tribal People Try way they explain exactly why.
What is japanese food?
Japanese food beyond sushi: ramen in real broth, tempura, katsu curry, mochi, matcha, wagyu, onigiri, Japanese Kit Kat flavours. Clean, precise and mild, with soy, dashi and seaweed as the backbone.
What to watch for
Tempura is pakora's elegant cousin and needs no help. Mochi's chewy, sticky rice-dough texture is the texture people talk about most. Wagyu's richness is admired and then declared too fatty for a whole meal.
The comparison they always make
Pakora, rice and tea are all here, so Japanese food has footholds. Seaweed and raw fish are the two things with no village equivalent at all.
