The French prepare and present food with a passion the taste is excellent.

The Japanese prepare food with precision and freshness as a priority. the food is healthy.

However Gordon Ramsey's at the Conrad Hotel Tokyo is excellent also.(French style food)

Not to mention that the French cook will appear as the perfect hostess, done up to her finger tips...

Anyway, in terms of both presentation and taste (oh, AND freshness too), my favourite is Neil's Restaurant in Sidmouth.

My goodness, that's in Britain!!!!!!

I like gourmet French food. It is excellent food to me but Japanese food seems cold and the quantities are small...I mean jewel toys. I love cool and fresh oysters from Brittany and I love all kind of fish but, unfortunately, I don't like Japanese raw fish even with a very strong sauce.
Both are healthy food I find French food more nourishing and satisfying.
Bon appétit!

The amazing combination of flavours in Thai cooking stands out, but so too does the big, chunky, ingredient-focused approach of Provencal cooking. It's hard to choose a favourite, but I think there may be something new and interesting in the approach Heston Blumenthal is taking at the Fat Duck in Oxfordshire.

Japanese food is healthy whereas French could kill you with all those butter butter and butter. Back to your question, I like the presentation of French food and the healthy side of Japanese food if they don't add any MSG.

Japanese food is wonderful, with a simplicity and a focus on quality ingredients that shows up in the clarity of flavors and presentation. Even in simple dishes like ramen -- a really good bowl of ramen is a work of art, with thin slices of katsu arranged on one side of the bowl, the scallions floating somewhere else, a slice of naruto or kamaboko among the noodles... If you haven't seen the movie "Tampopo" (directed by Juzo Itami), find it -- it's wonderful, though I warn you, be prepared to make or buy, and then eat, a bowl of really good ramen within 20 minutes of the end credits, or you'll go insane. :-) (And if you only know the word "Ramen" as the follow-up to "Top," you're missing one of life's great, simple pleasures -- the freeze-dried stuff you get in a styro cup is as much like real, fresh shoyu ramen as a Big Mac is like beef Wellington.)

I also love French food, but I'm especially partial to the rustic, regional dishes. This time of year in particular my thoughts tend toward cassoulet, a Provencal dish made of white beans and preserved goose. Since we don't often get goose (much less make confit d'oie out of it), I usually make mine with the leftover turkey from US Thanksgiving and Christmas, plus a selection of smoked meats and sausages. The best part about cassoulet: the crust of breadcrumbs, redolent of garlic and herbs, scattered atop the kettle of white beans, poultry and smoked pork. All the aromas of the dish are filtered up through the breadcrumb crust, where they mingle with garlic, thyme and black pepper to fill the house with a warm, soul-satisfying fragrance that sings of the best parts of winter: good food from a hot oven on a cold day.

And for all that... if I had to have only one variety of food for the rest of my life, it would be Italian. (Indian, Thai, and Mexican would be the first three I'd miss... and Vietnamese, and Chinese, and... ah well.) In part, though, I'd choose Italian because it encompasses such variety, from the rich stews and braised meats of the Lombarda region in the north, to the bright tomato-based pasta dishes of Napoli and the seafood of Puglia. Risotto alla Milanese one day, linguine alle vongole the next, piccata di vitello with capers and lemon the third -- it would take a long time for me to get tired of Italian food, and that's only based on what I already know how to cook.

But I can see myself telling the trattore "no, no, signore -- voglio delle taglierini freschi in brodo chiaro, con costeletto di maiale in pieci di tre millimetri... e come si dice 'soy sauce' in Italiano?" ("No, no, sir -- I want fresh taglierini in a clear broth, with pork cutlets in 3mm slices... and how do you say 'soy sauce' in Italian?") In fact, I think I'll make a point of taking my son (who is a total devotee of Japanese food) out for a bowl of shoyu ramen at Koji Osaka-Ya. It's pretty good there... not as good as the tampopo ramen at Tampopo's at the end of the movie, but better than she makes at the beginning!

Although my answer is neither of the above, I like Chinese, Italian and Indian, with the odd British meal once a week! (hot-pot, fish and chips, bacon and eggs!)
