Indonesia as a third world country and with has 250 million population will always be the target of the country's manufacturers who want to sell their products. Various ways can be done so that the product of a culture can be accepted by a country with either one of them the influence of pop culture.
One pop culture that is quite influential in Indonesia is the pop culture of Japan. A lot of the pop culture of Japan can be received by the people of Indonesia such as music, anime, manga, or food. Japanese pop culture has long been present in Indonesia and entered the everyday life of Indonesian people. In the era of my mom and dad, music city pops Japanese many to be the inspiration for Indonesian musicians. You can listen to and compare how the music city pops Japan and Indonesia in the ' 80s, and certainly will find the resemblance. At the time I was a teenager music japan rock be influence in our music. In addition to Music, eating culture-style Japanese restaurants also has a lot in Indonesia.
Many kinds of Japanese food which is already there and can be found in Indonesia. Types of Japanese food such as Sushi, Yakitori, Ramen, Udon, or takoyaki. Last week, I went to eat at the Japanese restaurant is Marugame Udon. I love noodle dishes, any type of and how the way of processing. I think almost all the people of Asia, especially Southeast Asia and the east to make Noodles as a staple food.
Marugame Udon is one of the Japanese restaurant's category menu udon. Udon is a kind of typical Japanese noodle made from wheat flour shaped thickness and width, the shape of the udon is very different from the type of noodles, a nurse who is small and thin.
There are different types of menu udon sold in this restaurant, for the type of Udon with a topping of beef there is a menu Niku Udon, Beef Curry Udon, Beef Carbonara Udon, Beef Abura Udon. For those who don't like beef, there is also the options menu of chicken meat such as Chicken Katsu, Udon, Abura Udon, Tori Baitan Udon, Spicy Tori Baitan Udon. And for friends who are vegetarians also available udon without meat that Ontama Udon and Kitsune Udon.
The hallmark of the services of Japanese restaurants is the speed in service and presentation. In Marugame udon we choose and order the menu in one line and then the food is served directly and we directly pay for it. In addition, the process of preparing the food we can see directly so that we there is no doubt that the food served hygienically or not.
I ordered the Beef Curry Udon, and order a drink matcha cold. Beef Curry Udon is a dish of udon noodles with meat sukiyaki imported plus gravy Japanese curry. What's the difference between Japanese curry and Indian curry or Indonesian? Japanese Curry has a taste that is very soft on the tongue, no taste of herbs identical and less aromatic but the taste is very delicious. The texture of Japanese curry is a little thick so that when eaten in conjunction with udon and meat sukiyaki was very suitable, While, curry India or Indonesia have the texture is watery, the taste of the spices is very strong, the flavor is spicy and strong, and very aromatic. To drink in magurame udon we can refill our drinks if it runs out.
The simplicity of also looking for the trademark in any Japanese food. The culture of eating in Europe or china knows the term appetizers, desserts, or the dessert, but the Japanese food does not have the term is similar to Indonesian food also.
The price of a bowl of Beef Curry Udon with tax is Rp. 63000,- (4.5 USD). This price is for the majority of Indonesian people is quite expensive, because usually, the average people of Indonesia issued an Rp. 15000 – Rp. 20000 (1 – 1.5 USD) for one meal, but not one a try because we can enjoy the pleasure of udon noodles without having to go to Japan.
