In response to the previous post, what foods do you believe Japan does better than your home country? Other than Japanese food, of course.
Originally from the US, I'd have to say (in some cases) pasta. I've had some of the best pasta I've ever had here. Never been to New York, however, so perhaps that'd change my opinion. Lived in LA for quite some time and could never get myself to go to a pasta joint, but here I've been to several.
I also want to mention that coffee in Japan (not kissaten coffee but actual boutique roasters) are fantastic and on par with some of the best I've had around the world.
