Guess what your video did to me. I paused your video for 5 mins and made myself two cauliflower (that was the only stuffing at home) sandwiches generously loaded with butter and tabasco sauce. And then enjoyed watching the rest of video while I gorged on my sandwiches. Thanks John, great dinner idea! :))
I've never craved a sandwich before in my entire life. Now I see why Japan is so elite. They make me want every type of food they have no matter how simple or complex or strange. It all just appeals to every sense I can think of when it comes to food
@@End3rWi99in Until you taste it... Honestly, in Japan I learned the art of "Less is more". There are fewer ingredients put between the bread-it's basic bread...but each ingredient speaks so beautifully by itself-you don't want to over-complicate it with sauces and extra toppings. So the fruit and cream sandwich (oh my word): The kiwi, strawberry, mango...were all EXAMPLES of how that food should taste. No under-ripe strawberries...no browned lettuce. Each element is perfect in and of itself. If you doubt me, go to Japan and see what I mean-you'll thank me.
@@maureenseel118 Well said, and the Japanese know how to make a solid sandwich! Well explained! Ditto on going there, and trying them yourself! You won't regret it!
Its probably the easiest to try to make. I'm sure its cool whip. If not you can mix cool whip with philadelphia cheese and thats basically cheesecake filling.
It makes me kind of sad that they can have such incredible quality in a $4 pre-packaged sandwich.... Most places (that i have seen) in America; like, big regional gas stations and grocery stores, are extremely stingy with sub-par processed ingredients on a huge piece of cheap bread that doesnt even taste good but it costs more than 4 bucks
I do actually find that one of the most wonderful parts of the Japanese culture. Everything from art, to work, to something as simple (to some) as cooking, they do with an incredible degree of elegance. It's truly inspiring.
@@v5u7sulh2 Boxed sandwiches on white bread in the US look basically identical to these. We just aren't using huge slabs of egg. Go to any 7-Eleven (which is a Japanese owned company) and the white bread boxed sandwiches are absolutely identical to these.
@@cryptictaco5834 I'm sorry.. but Japan is far more better in terms of culture and places to go. Japan is much more healthy compared to America who just slap fat on food. Japan treats food like art making it much better to look at and most likely taste better.
@@movedchannels1654 On the west coast you have excellent food in itself. Each culture has something awesome to offer, and yet, something so repulsive as well, japan is no exception. I admire Japanese cuisine and many aspects of their culture, but like many are far from perfect. Likewise you can find awesome healthy food in the US, although that is mostly limited to the west coast. "Slapping fat on food" is something the US doesn't do, it is more like "lets make food resemble polymers more than food, then pay off the FDA, while undermining the local farmers and centralizing nourishments under our monopoly by lobbying to create laws that unfairly hurt small agriculture".

After watching your videos for some time...... I decided to visit Japan. Made some notes on some of your videos and yes they really helped me navigate through out Japan. Really enjoyed the street food and all those recommendations you have made. Even tried the fruit sandwich... and it was delicious. Thank you for a great channel and diversity on Japan. What a country...!!
High class, English-like accent by Peter makes this video turn it into one totally different approach that not only makes one hungry but feel totally in a different level of classiness...such elegance! Love it, guys....but I was really giggling with such humorous words used to describe food...like when you said "inside are six of your new found friends" for the egg sandwich pack...really funny, guys!
liseg89 liseg89 funny, because I’ve lived in London for the majority of my life (and still do) and I happen to date a finance executive who is a typical old public school boy (with the typical proper queens English accent/ upper class accent). You don’t know what you’re talking about. The accent is a poor attempt at an upper class English accent, but nevertheless is a posh accent.
Just like everything else the Japanese learn from other cultures, they improve it and make it their own: cars, trains, phones, clothes, sandwiches, ... My mother bought a shirt for me that was made in Japan in 1973 and I still have it - it has not faded nor is there any tears or stitches fraying. It may just outlast me.
Hey John. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been a subbie around 3-4 years ago and I’m so glad that you’re still putting out content. Your videos never disappoint viewers and please keep doing it. お疲れさまです😙
I love their breads and sandwiches. I am so willing to go back just to eat those sandwiches and pastries. Even only the simple ones from small breakfast cafes are fantastic
It also makes for a cheap treat if you need it to :) I was very much broke while I was studying abroad in Japan, and a tamago sando always hit the spot at lunch for only 100 yen.
Keep in mind, the sandwiches shown in this video are all from a lot of more specialty shops. Specialty shops might have a wider variety of options, but honestly the main reason they're more expensive is the novelty of it and the fact that they're often placed in train stations, where other food options may not be available (especially stations for bullet trains. Think about it like how airports and amusement parks will have overpriced food because your options are limited to whatever's on the premises). They make for really nice videos like these, by all means, and I have no doubt that they are better quality; however, they aren't necessarily always worth it. On the other hand, I usually went to a convenience store for any of my sandwich needs ;) It's probably changed a bit since it's been a few years, but an egg, tuna or fruit sandwich was usually 100 to 120 yen, a pork cutlet sandwich might be more like 200 yen, while special sandwiches would be upward towards 300-400 yen (ie: while I was there Gudetama was still a big thing, so a pork cutlet sandwich with a soft boiled egg on top with Gudetama on the wrapper was available for 350 yen). Plus, while they may not be as fresh as the specialty shop sandwiches (which were probably made within a few hours of being sold), they're still pretty fresh because of certain laws regarding food sales in Japan. It made for a pretty filling lunch!
Oh no! D: Thankfully yen tends to ride particularly close to USD a lot of the time. I think the conversion right now is 90 yen to a dollar, which is pretty close to where it was while I was there (which was 88 yen, if I remember right). Maybe the prices have gone up since I was there, but it was definitely a rarity if I ever spent more than 150 yen on my lunch on a given day ^^" I'd usually get a sandwich or onigiri, and they were typically around the prices I listed above.
How to charm your viewers? First, Find a person with a silky smooth talk like Peter. Second, Find a theme whether will grab your target audience's attention or their tummies. Third, upload the video to the main channel on RUclips. Fourth, Let the viewer get hungry while John is presenting the sandwiches like a professional. Fifth and last, Stay calm and take a depth breath. Prepare yourself to be seduced by the sound of Peter's voice talking about how beautiful, marvelous and delicious are the sandwiches.
Let me fix that for you.. First, find someone who strains their voice to obtain that cheesy "movie voice" that is so commonly considered to be cheap (because it's not the persons natural voice and they refuse to stick to their own vocal range) Second, find some free music, slap it on the video, even if it doesn't fit. After all, these are sandwiches, copyright free classical is 'perfect' for it. Third, Don't spell Kiwi Properly, call it a KiKi instead. Fourth, Show the sandwiches from only one real angle. They're just sandwiches. Fifth, and last, write some horribly cringy scripting, which tries to play off the cheesy, forced movie voice of the guy you convinced to narrate. He doesn't realize how cringy he sounds, anyway, so it's a match made in heaven. Bonus Sixth.. Don't worry about people calling you out for the cliche and cheap writing, narration, and music, because fanboys will instantly attack anyone who criticizes you.

Convenience stores sandwiches in Japan are so good! Even if my flight was really late and 711 is the only thing open by the time I arrive, I still won't be disappointed.
In America, the convenience store sandwich is something to be feared! More likely to make you sick than think was delicious. In Japan, the sandwich as reached culinary heights. You might think "Oh it's just a sandwich, I'll make one at home" but you can't. You just can't replicate these sandwiches at home. Something about the soft Japanese milk bread and the flavor of Japanese Mayo with its rice vinegar creates a unique tanginess. Even something as simple as a ham and cheese has a whole new dimension. I wish i could run out and get one right now!
In Japan, the competition is so hard because everything MUST be improved every day as a rule. After a few decades, the quality and the sophistication reach an insane level.
Carrie Li I think they have to make them bland. Two reasons. A) The nicer and Spicer ingredients are expensive. B) They are scared they might get sued for food allergies. ....... And most "exotic" dishes are dumbed down for American pellets anyways. I know.. I went to a Filipino restaurant once and was disappointed. I'm a half blood Filipina myself. My mom's cooking is way better.
Tbh, I actually followed your guide when I went for 3days course in Osaka.I religiously followed both of your takes on Osaka, which features in both your channels. And I even went to dotonbori and tried crab brain which is once in a life time experience! I just want to say, thank you for being honest with your videos. It was pretty intense not having any guide but we managed as we actually shows your video to the local when asking for directions!
batman awesome thank you! It makes me so happy to hear you managed to get around okay and the videos were a help to you! I’m glad you had fun and could really enjoy your trip in Japan!
I've never had sandwiches remotely as fresh and delicious as Japan's packaged sandwiches. I don't know how they do it but the bread is soft and moist, and the sandwich itself is never dry.
@@moanaoneil7725 It was great to try a few times and I personally wouldn't eat it everyday, but they eat this stuff a lot for breakfast. Honestly, I'd say it's probably healthier than dunkin donuts and a lot of western breakfasts. It wasn't as sweet, but it was definitely creamier and lighter in flavor.
I was in Tokyo couple months ago and I tried Katsu sandwich. Amazing.. possibly the most addictive and super tasty. I love your videos but man... it makes me really miss Japan so badly.
The best country in the world, no competition. I stayed in Tokyo for 9 months 15 years ago, it was my best time in 44 years of life, so far. I wish I could go and live there, but with a wife and 3 kids, seems impossible especially that making a living there if you don't know the language is something hard...
This is one of the things I not only found bizarre but totally awesome at the exact same time, all the sandwiches I purchased had zero crusts. The western in me was like ‘oooo! Mums not going to happy i’m not eating my crusts’ and also ‘I’m in sandwich heaven! No crusts!’
We stayed right outside of Shinagawa station and every morning we would grab some snacks and at night, some more snacks, and great craft IPA beer. Katsu- sando's are epic and so tasty! Japan how I miss you !!
How to make a sandwich sexyier! Just have Peter explain it! the shrimp sandwich is ridiculously good looking! How to make a sandwich sound better have jennifer explain how it tastes! how to make you want a sandwich more buy in on a live stream and make us wait to see it until a main channel episode! How to make Fantastic video Buy a bunch of sandwiches and share them with your friends! Thanks for the share and as always stay awesome!
I'd rather have a good narrator, that doesn't vocally strain his voice trying to achieve a cheesy, fake "movie" or "decadence" voice. You know, someone who actually stays in their vocal range, knowing that they're not Vincent Price.
Love to hear Peter’s voice in your videos! Thank goodness I was eating breakfast while watching this otherwise I’d be staving at all the delicious looking sandwiches 🤤 Awesome video as always, John! P.S. the Sims like music is perfect 👌
I love how there was a bunch of people just hanging out in front of the vending machines and that they have tables to use for you meals lol. We need these in the USA
Because America is not structured for food that depends on flavorful and fresh raw ingredients - we’re better at foods that need a LOT of ingredients and special preparation, in order to last longer. Also, because we have SO MUCH SUGAR in everything.
@Sue Burgess yaaa. homogeneous society, strict prisons and capital punishment, good socio-economics, high rates of education and low rates of poverty. When most of your population is happy, healthy and eating every day they arent out robbing or selling drugs.
@@EvanHT Don't sugar coat Japan's situation. I've been there and it is a lovely country and i would love to comeback. But we cannot close our eyes when it comes to their issues. "Happy everyday" is not entirely true, they still have suicide rate issues (now also with youth), the rising number of hikikomori ect. They have high rates of education because they are expected to go beyond (this is generally a common issue in Asia). I am an Asian myself, South-East to be specific, and slowly our education system here is adopting the system of Japan or S.Korean, where students will go to school early morning, and go home later at late evening (even at night) thus creating more stress and pressure for the students
💞I was Adopted 65 years ago from Tokyo Japan..live in U.S....I had no idea..how colorful,the foods are and packaged..it’s like a gift of Food..I love the Japanese sandwiches...Egg..is my favorite....Thank You for presenting this to me💞
Love your videos...Honestly after watching your videos I'm in love with Japan.. You have the most authentic travel channels in RUclips. Always a bliss watching 'em ♡
Been waiting for this video since you posted that smorgasbord picture of the sandwiches on Instagram! Great work at making me drool in front of the screen yet again John 🤤 When I go back to Japan I can’t wait to try more sandwiches! (First one on the list to try is Hirekatsu and Ebikatsu 🍤🥪)
Who knew Japan had sandwiches?! I didn't! They look really good,if I traveled there, it would probably the first thing I try there. I'm Italian and not used to Asian food so it would be a good starter for me,since I don't like 🍣 . But these look great! 😳 I admire Japanese culture,everything is so clean,and products are very precise and detailed.
When I went to Japan I was actually really excited to try some of their sandwiches. Turns out, it was too fluffy and sweet for me. It didn't taste right with all the savory foods. The fruit one was good, but I made the mistake of eating one for breakfast (it's like eating cake! lol)
Bryan Wright he really did! Beyond what I expected and a real pleasure to edit in! The plug for excellent work: ruclips.net/channel/UCVxvUCGUwLrAwH9_3q5q00g you’ll hear more Peter!

I’ve been to Japan a few times, and I love the shops that sell sandwiches. The egg salad sandwiches are delicious. The bread is also amazing. I wish their type of bread, milk bread, was sold widely in the USA.
Everytime I used to go to Tokyo for work I always loved tasting different foods. Some of the sandwiches were really odd combinations but were tasteful just the same. Another must for any traveler is eating an entire meal from a vending meal. In the US it normally is stale, bland, or poor quality food items. Not so in Japan. You can get beer, saki, wine or hot tea to drink. Then almost anything else you want. All from a vending machine. I got a grilled ham an cheese sandwich that was actually grilled inside the machine. On one trip my host and I found a restaurant that was entirely vending machines. The odd and interesting thing was there were no employees working there. You bought your items, got a pair of chopsticks and sat down and ate. The place was very clean and even a western style pizza was really good. I tried a lot if different foods that afternoon.

I've never craved a sandwich before in my entire life. Now I see why Japan is so elite. They make me want every type of food they have no matter how simple or complex or strange. It all just appeals to every sense I can think of when it comes to food
Super Noot - the bread is just fantastic!! Fits with anything. Best french toast you could have 😊
If you’ve never had “shoku pan” ,as its known in japanese, you gotta! Its superior.
I'm sure in Japan it takes at least 3 years to master making one of those sandwiches.
Noot
Most people: Sandwiches are kind of basic...boring.
Japan: Hold my sake.
now I want some. Curse you, Covid-19!
Honestly these sandwiches looked pretty basic and boring compared to what you get in Chicago, NYC, etc. It's all just cold white bread in a box.

One of those fruit sandwiches would be delightful to eat for breakfast on a summer morning with some fresh green tea. 🍵

There’s a lot of packaging waste in these sandwiches, but of course, the Japanese are also very diligent and efficient in recycling as well. Go them!
theres very minimal plastic usage in a lot of these! and a lot of them are indeed PET plastic so they can be recycled :)
nr1 plastic wasters is thailand. per year thailand throw away so many plastic like all countrys on earth together!
They even package fruits in plastic for no reason :/
Its not a waste. The quality and detail of the packaging is important to all Japanese products and adds value.

Bonus Sixth.. Don't worry about people calling you out for the cliche and cheap writing, narration, and music, because fanboys will instantly attack anyone who criticizes you.
This may help you in your writing.

Convenience stores sandwiches in Japan are so good! Even if my flight was really late and 711 is the only thing open by the time I arrive, I still won't be disappointed.
In America, the convenience store sandwich is something to be feared! More likely to make you sick than think was delicious. In Japan, the sandwich as reached culinary heights. You might think "Oh it's just a sandwich, I'll make one at home" but you can't. You just can't replicate these sandwiches at home. Something about the soft Japanese milk bread and the flavor of Japanese Mayo with its rice vinegar creates a unique tanginess. Even something as simple as a ham and cheese has a whole new dimension. I wish i could run out and get one right now!
Nosh Abroad I
Indeed! that is me!
Nosh Abroad agree. North american sandwiches are so bland. Even rice balls in smallest japanese convenience stores taste better.
In Japan, the competition is so hard because everything MUST be improved every day as a rule. After a few decades, the quality and the sophistication reach an insane level.
Carrie Li I think they have to make them bland. Two reasons.
A) The nicer and Spicer ingredients are expensive.
B) They are scared they might get sued for food allergies.
.......
And most "exotic" dishes are dumbed down for American pellets anyways. I know.. I went to a Filipino restaurant once and was disappointed. I'm a half blood Filipina myself. My mom's cooking is way better.
Gaaaaah I am jealous. I wish someone would make a restaurant here that sells these sandwiches. I would spend all my money eating there every day.
I envy the food quality in Japan. Even the convenience store food looks beautiful!
traveled to japan a month ago, can confirm sandwiches = best food in japan
Nah, ramen still #1
Lmao you went a month ago and therefore know from the limited time you stayed there that the sandwiches are the best food? In the whole country?
It's called an opinion guys. Calm down. Not everyone has to agree with you.
@array s lol tru
@@marissaburdock6550 Probably couldn't afford to eat anything else.
everything about Japan seems amazing
Its like china but the opposite
One of the best things about traveling is trying different food!
Tbh, I actually followed your guide when I went for 3days course in Osaka.I religiously followed both of your takes on Osaka, which features in both your channels. And I even went to dotonbori and tried crab brain which is once in a life time experience! I just want to say, thank you for being honest with your videos. It was pretty intense not having any guide but we managed as we actually shows your video to the local when asking for directions!
batman awesome thank you! It makes me so happy to hear you managed to get around okay and the videos were a help to you! I’m glad you had fun and could really enjoy your trip in Japan!
Mmmmm crab brain. Almost as good as slug eyes.
I've never had sandwiches remotely as fresh and delicious as Japan's packaged sandwiches. I don't know how they do it but the bread is soft and moist, and the sandwich itself is never dry.
Chemicals my dear chemicals
What’s the bread made of? It can’t be healthy.
@@moanaoneil7725
It was great to try a few times and I personally wouldn't eat it everyday, but they eat this stuff a lot for breakfast. Honestly, I'd say it's probably healthier than dunkin donuts and a lot of western breakfasts. It wasn't as sweet, but it was definitely creamier and lighter in flavor.
Eddie Roy mmmm, yummy 🤤
The Onigiri and sandwiches are fresh and are delivered to the stores in the morning.
I was in Tokyo couple months ago and I tried Katsu sandwich.
Amazing.. possibly the most addictive and super tasty.
I love your videos but man... it makes me really miss Japan so badly.
I want to go to Japan now
And take me Mr. Davidson.
I'm going next month ! I can't wait 😍😍
Ditto.
I'm in France....and in love with these sandwiches from heaven !!!
The best Egg Salad Sandwich I've ever had was from a vending machine in Japan. It was so delicious!
The best country in the world, no competition. I stayed in Tokyo for 9 months 15 years ago, it was my best time in 44 years of life, so far. I wish I could go and live there, but with a wife and 3 kids, seems impossible especially that making a living there if you don't know the language is something hard...

@@drcommondrate12 He could be British for all you know, racist
Japanese sandwich = THICC
This is one of the things I not only found bizarre but totally awesome at the exact same time, all the sandwiches I purchased had zero crusts.
The western in me was like ‘oooo! Mums not going to happy i’m not eating my crusts’ and also ‘I’m in sandwich heaven! No crusts!’
Japan, make me a sandwich.
I want to buy it for you.
...(I am Japanese!)
So western attitude
Okei oniiiisamaaa
@@ゆくてん-n1o that's nice of you! I want to go to Japan and eat sandwiches :(
We stayed right outside of Shinagawa station and every morning we would grab some snacks and at night, some more snacks, and great craft IPA beer. Katsu- sando's are epic and so tasty! Japan how I miss you !!
How to make a sandwich sexyier! Just have Peter explain it! the shrimp sandwich is ridiculously good looking! How to make a sandwich sound better have jennifer explain how it tastes! how to make you want a sandwich more buy in on a live stream and make us wait to see it until a main channel episode! How to make Fantastic video Buy a bunch of sandwiches and share them with your friends! Thanks for the share and as always stay awesome!
The voice over and background music makes the sandwiches looking more delicious..
How many Japanese sandwiches do you want?
Me: yes
"some dishes just plain weird like this tako tamago"
Me: Goddamn that look like the most beautiful delicious food i've seen
美味しそうなものばかり〜❣️日本人でも、全然、食べつくしてはいないのよん。
Even their sandwiches are so neat. So pristine. So precise. Clean edges etc...
I love the egg sandwiches from Japan. I miss Japan just a tad bit.
Does anyone feel like they need Peter Von Gromm to do live descriptions of when they unwrap and eat their next sandwich?
I think I need him to narrate my life! (ok...maybe just a couple of days worth... ;P )
He can narrate my next lunch.
Lol, Peter should do that for his next live stream. Sneak up behind random people on the street and start narrating the unwrapping of their lunch.
Sandwich eating ASMR
I'd rather have a good narrator, that doesn't vocally strain his voice trying to achieve a cheesy, fake "movie" or "decadence" voice. You know, someone who actually stays in their vocal range, knowing that they're not Vincent Price.
What a great narrator, and those sandwiches are beautiful
A sandwich, PLUS some ramen noodles. That would be a good lunch (or dinner).
This episode had all stars, nice, and yeah, I had to make my own sandwich now,
Stop wasting time in youtube Shinji and get in the fucking robot. When does your new movie come out ?
OMG I LOLed. How long have we been waiting for Eva 4.44!?
just made one, doesn't come even close to the cheapest ones shown in this vid, in terms of quality...
I'm not gonna get in the robot, it's stinks in there,
Love to hear Peter’s voice in your videos! Thank goodness I was eating breakfast while watching this otherwise I’d be staving at all the delicious looking sandwiches 🤤
Awesome video as always, John!
P.S. the Sims like music is perfect 👌
Always leave it to you John to make unassuming topics incredibly interesting! This video made me hungry!!!
The absolute best egg salad sandwich I have ever had was one I purchased in Narita Airport. I can still remember the wonderful taste and texture!
Had me drooling the whole time. The voice actor though 😂😂😂
Wow great sandwiches trust Japan to take it to the next level. Excessive packaging though
lmaooo the narrating was EVERYTHING! thank you 🙏
I love how there was a bunch of people just hanging out in front of the vending machines and that they have tables to use for you meals lol. We need these in the USA
最近このチャンネル見つけて、ここ最近ずっと見てる😚
You brought your lady friend a gourmet sandwich at a watering hole?
Your a scholar, and a gentlemen
It is especially funny that someone sprayed the word "fat" in the background of that watering hole. It might have been the word "eat".
I like them all,,
Plus some Melon pan for desert
s3xyScorp yes!! That would complete an amazing meal for me - MELONPAN (๑･̑◡･̑๑)
Why can't they have sandwiches this good in the Circle K, 7-11, Wawa, Cumby's chill case?
Wawa have some extraordinary subs though.... Especially at 2:54 in the morning
But WaWa is not bad 😭
Because a 3 oz. sandwich would cost $16.00 and would be moldy.
7/11 is amazing! I’m not sure what it’s like wherever you are, but in Japan I eat it all the time! It’s true convenience
Because America is not structured for food that depends on flavorful and fresh raw ingredients - we’re better at foods that need a LOT of ingredients and special preparation, in order to last longer.
Also, because we have SO MUCH SUGAR in everything.
Lucky people who were Born in Japan
I've been making sandwiches like this for years but instead of pork I use fried chicken patties and mayonnaise.
Ya, my hubby soulmate was born there
chasey1978 My grandmother used mayonnaise to get my head stuck between to polls when I was a kid. Now I HATE mayonnaise.
@Sue Burgess yaaa. homogeneous society, strict prisons and capital punishment, good socio-economics, high rates of education and low rates of poverty. When most of your population is happy, healthy and eating every day they arent out robbing or selling drugs.
@@EvanHT Don't sugar coat Japan's situation. I've been there and it is a lovely country and i would love to comeback. But we cannot close our eyes when it comes to their issues. "Happy everyday" is not entirely true, they still have suicide rate issues (now also with youth), the rising number of hikikomori ect.
They have high rates of education because they are expected to go beyond (this is generally a common issue in Asia). I am an Asian myself, South-East to be specific, and slowly our education system here is adopting the system of Japan or S.Korean, where students will go to school early morning, and go home later at late evening (even at night) thus creating more stress and pressure for the students
The Japanese people are so creative and so smart but best of all I love their culture this is the reason why I always wanted to go Japan 100% 🇯🇵
Honestly the best narration I’ve ever heard. 👏👏👏🥪
💞I was Adopted 65 years ago from Tokyo Japan..live in U.S....I had no idea..how colorful,the foods are and packaged..it’s like a gift of Food..I love the Japanese sandwiches...Egg..is my favorite....Thank You for presenting this to me💞
You should visit
Thanks Ralph Macchio. I learned a lot about Japan today.
mugensamurai Ralph macchio 😱? Really?
Srsly dude this is John daub, mugensamurai is just joking
Hah! Oh my gosh, I didn’t think anything of this comment until I looked at his face! Great comparison.
Wonder what Mr. Miyagi has to say about this...From Karate to RUclips Influencer...
Lol!
Love your videos...Honestly after watching your videos I'm in love with Japan..
You have the most authentic travel channels in RUclips.
Always a bliss watching 'em ♡
Debadreeta Sengupta are u subscribed to his only in japan go channel
Santos8085 Absolutely :}
that voiceover is amazing!
just came back from Japan. Everyday I always have one or two of their sandwiches. They're just delicious and affordable!
Affordable? They are expensive thoo
@@pinkitydinkity6550 it's relative. Come to NZ and buy a sandwich from a convenience store here or a cafe.
@@emanyu26 okayyy :>
Been waiting for this video since you posted that smorgasbord picture of the sandwiches on Instagram! Great work at making me drool in front of the screen yet again John 🤤
When I go back to Japan I can’t wait to try more sandwiches! (First one on the list to try is Hirekatsu and Ebikatsu 🍤🥪)
Peter's voice is heavenly
What surprises me the most is how much material is used for packaging the sandwiches. Wait, I am already hungry...
InTeCredo and what do they do with all the leftover crusts?
And yet not a single wrapping in the streets
One word to describe their sandwiches: PERFECTION
Oh how I wish I live and work in Japan. 🙏
I've stumbled onto the happiest place on RUclips! That sandwich parade had me floating on a cloud!
Great video I'm hungry now
Eric Holleran nice
Even in sandwich making, the Japanese seek perfection. How can you not respect a culture like that? Thank you for the video. :)
Who knew Japan had sandwiches?! I didn't! They look really good,if I traveled there, it would probably the first thing I try there. I'm Italian and not used to Asian food so it would be a good starter for me,since I don't like 🍣 . But these look great! 😳 I admire Japanese culture,everything is so clean,and products are very precise and detailed.
When I went to Japan I was actually really excited to try some of their sandwiches. Turns out, it was too fluffy and sweet for me. It didn't taste right with all the savory foods. The fruit one was good, but I made the mistake of eating one for breakfast (it's like eating cake! lol)
beautiful packaging design and the art of food is love.
Peter knocked the voice over out of the ball park!!!
Bryan Wright he really did! Beyond what I expected and a real pleasure to edit in! The plug for excellent work: ruclips.net/channel/UCVxvUCGUwLrAwH9_3q5q00g you’ll hear more Peter!
Bryan Wright like the classic Iron Chef!!!!
The narration and unboxing starting at 2:30 is excellent!! Yummy 😋😋
When the narrator was narrating the speech on sandwiches his voice was like sebastian from kuroshitsuji
Anime Girl OMG YES BLACK BUTLER
Omg you're right!
I definitely agree can mail us lowly ANIME amican's a food box his equivalent voice those sandwich go hand to hand . I swear on brown rice Japan I will get there to teast ur flutty goodness's

Does Peter von gromm do audio books? 😂
J-Horse check out Peter’s RUclips channel. He’s starting to do book readings now. In Japan, he does TV commercials, television voice overs for documentaries and A LOT OF video games. He is the voice of Spring Man in the Nintendo game ARMS. ruclips.net/channel/UCVxvUCGUwLrAwH9_3q5q00g
10 - minute crafts that has nothing to do with op´s comment
Wanna see/hear him doing ASMR.
J-Horse ARMY ARMY EVERYWHERE!
J-Horse heyooooooo!!!!!
Peter's voice really is amazing 💕💕
gushing over here... :o) Thank you!
I’ve been to Japan a few times, and I love the shops that sell sandwiches. The egg salad sandwiches are delicious. The bread is also amazing. I wish their type of bread, milk bread, was sold widely in the USA.
When you visit Japan on budget, you can sometimes have sandwiches instead of three meal courses
. It cut a lot of your eating expenses.
Except the sandwiches cost 16 Dollars..
I love those sandwiches. I got to try the fruit sandwich on my last trip to Japan and it was so good.
You make the best videos on RUclips. Would be really cool if you did a video what brought you to Japan.
Everytime I used to go to Tokyo for work I always loved tasting different foods. Some of the sandwiches were really odd combinations but were tasteful just the same.
Another must for any traveler is eating an entire meal from a vending meal. In the US it normally is stale, bland, or poor quality food items. Not so in Japan. You can get beer, saki, wine or hot tea to drink. Then almost anything else you want. All from a vending machine. I got a grilled ham an cheese sandwich that was actually grilled inside the machine.
On one trip my host and I found a restaurant that was entirely vending machines. The odd and interesting thing was there were no employees working there. You bought your items, got a pair of chopsticks and sat down and ate. The place was very clean and even a western style pizza was really good. I tried a lot if different foods that afternoon.
i'm fasting right now, why i'm watching this ? btw great video as always
Firdaus Marthadinata me too😫😭
Firdaus Marthadinata I'm fasting right now and watching this
Awesome video. Thanks, John.
Even their sandwiches are better!
Yesss be jealous of our sandwiches😂
The narrating,music and the sandwiches! Simply beautiful.
