I only familiar with common ramen and udon. Tempura and toriyaki also good. Very different from how others fry prawns and roast chicken. Very delicious. I saw in your pics, nabe and sukiyaki also look like steamboat.
I also shocked and choked when I see Chinese/Japanese for toriyaki is 鸟烧！Burn bird or burn cock?

in japanese 鸟 ( tori ) also mean chicken . 烧 ( yaki) means bbq ...Going back to food, two of my favorite dishes in Japan are shabu shabu and sukiyaki, both of which are kinds of “nabe.” i like to describe this as Japanese fondue, except there isn’t cheese or chocolate (which is a too bad). nabe dishes are ones where the ingredients come raw and you cook them in some kind of soup stock at your table (hence the Japanese fondue comparison). one major difference with this is that the beef (or sometimes pork) comes sliced very thin so the cooking time is just a few seconds, depending on how you like you meat cooked of course. After cooking, usually there is something to dip your food in. for example, for shabu shabu there are two sauces, a ponzu sauce and a sesame sauce and for sukiyaki it is common to dip your beef in raw egg (I am not a fan of this one to be honest)...theres many different nabe in japan ...of course different nabe got their own name and cooking style .

Most Singapore so-called Japanese restaurants are fakes. Besides in Japan itself, those in San Francisco Japantown and downtown are best. In Thailand, the Fuji franchise chain is the best available there. Anyway in Singapore, I always buy my favorite zaru soba (cold buckwheat noodle) and ingredients from Isetan and cook at home. Simple and delicious and authentically made in Japan, cooked in Singapore, if you know what to buy and how to cook. Grab a tetrapak of sake too. It goes along with zaru soba very well. Or if you don't take alcohol, standby green tea.

bro...i have never try japanese food in San Francisco ( never been to San Fransico yet ) . Fuji franchise in thai taste like shit , no different from those cheap japanese restaurants in singapore . bro , do not throw away the water use to boil the soba ....we call it sobayu . the cooking broth that is used for boiling soba noodles makes a satisfying and heathy broth called Sobayu. it is usually served half way during the meal when you order cold soba at a soba noodle shop. the standard way to drink it is to pour the broth directly into the cup containing the dipping sauce. usually, by the time they serve the broth, you would have used half the dipping sauce for the soba. the sobayu dilutes the dipping broth and makes a nice, not too salty broth. but I like to drink sobayu straight. It has a very clean taste and nice fragrance....and very good for your body too .
