@MarkWiens Hi Mark can you PLEASE 🙏🏽 Go visit Azerbaijan and meet a man who has a RUclips channel called Wilderness Cooking he does everything... Your favorite is WOW His favorite word is SUPER he says it after each meal he cooks. I think it will be a great experience for both of you. Thanks for traveling and showing other countries cuisine and way of life. I never ever got on a plan I'm terrified of hights......😢 so you do it for me. I'm from Cape Verdi Island of Fogo Africa but live in Boston Massachusetts...
Toyo San, the tuna torchblower has a documentary in Japan. He said he was very very poor as a child that can’t even eat 3 times a day.. so he worked so hard to reach where he is now.. and that includes loving your job and people around it
To think that Mark is shooting and editing content by himself and still producing quality content is amazing. A lot of food vlogger records things of them shoving food in their mouths and call it a day but Mark's videos are so much more. Thank you for bringing us along on your travels!
@@rumbatumblajambomambo6241 lol its all archived in the video list of this channel you can watch it too. i think its like 4000 or 5000 hours of total programming though lol
Toyo-san is inspiring: hardworking, with positive energy in him spreading happiness and a great attitude. Such a fun display of cooking as well. Another great episode Mark!
Mark when weve been watching you for so long we know your wonderful family. You represent every culture with such respect and geniune enthusiasm! My son and I would love to share a table with you❤
Osaka has the best cuisines ever to pair up with drinks. The deep fried skewers looks perfect for pairing with cold beer, drinks, or cocktails. Japan always been one of my favorites for culinary treasures especially Osaka for having a foodie culture. Every location looks outstanding but Toyo-San was for sure one of my favorites for the personality, choice of protein, & enrichment. This tour is going to be a homerun hit from the gates!! Thanks Mark for bringing us back to Osaka!! Looking forward to the upcoming content!! Wishing safe travels and many blessings always!! Cheers!! 🍢🍡🥢🍻
The satisfaction in your face (and smile) really shows how much you 'enjoy' the Japanese food. Love your comments on the food you eat as well. Thank you for such a wonderful RUclips content based around eating 'happily' and 'culturally'.
@MarkWiens Mark ..🤝🙏.it seems to me that you are the most positive and good person in the world?!! ..with respect and love from Israel - I wish you much health and happiness - shalom!! 🥰❤👍👍
I had a student from Osaka some years back and I think he was telling me about the foods of Osaka. I can see it seems to have a different twist than more common Japanese dishes. The first couple of foods look so delicious!
Glad to see the flamethrower chef is still doing well. Saw him a few years ago before covid. Anyone visiting Osaka should give his "flamethrown" tuna a try.
I'm Japanese. I learn English because I want to watch this channel videos.l I'm so glad to watch this video！ 私は日本人です。 私はこのチャンネルのビデオを見るために英語を学んでいます。 このビデオを見ることが出来て嬉しいです！
THANK YOU! Mark, because of you I know where to eat around the world, when I travel. Also, I have eaten countless delicious foods vicariously through you without gaining weight LOL! God bless! you and family and God bless! your channel. Thank you!
Wow, it’s so cool to see a place I visited in Osaka featured in a Mark video! The standing Udon bar in Shinsekai was one of the highlights of the food tour I took last year ❤
Hey mark my name is Jonathan and ever since I started watching your videos I realized that not only you blow away the competition in RUclips but you do your videos with flair keep it up.
Toyosan is the legend!!! Love his hard work ethic and positive attitude! I also wanted to visit OSAKA in the near future. Thank you MARK covering so many good must visit spots❤
Same. I always say that to others when they call all Asian food “Chinese food” …….nope. Japanese food is clean, crisp, fresh and always DELICIOUS My favorite cuisine ever.
Hi Mark, I stumbled upon your channel when looking for new food channels and I must share how happy I am that I did. The hapiness and general excitement around food and culture is just contagious in the best way possible. Thank you for always making my day better. Looking forward to see more of your videos. ❤
Great video Mark! Wish you could show us around like before other places parts of places you visit not just food ! It really felt like an adventure and I used to wait for your video every week. Keep being an adventurer! ❤ Always a fan
Mark, I love the respect you give each culture as you travel absolutely EVERYWHERE! Im 19 and living on my own and Im trying to save up enough money to start traveling, and its wonderful to be able to watch your videos and get a little 'taste' of so many places I would love to experience myself one day! I think food brings people together across cultures, language barriers and social differences, and its a beautiful thing you do here; you make so many people happy by spreading joy with your love of food which in so many places is so deeply personal to their culture-I hope to do the same! I also think your child is going to grow up with an amazing world view, which is exactly what the world needs more of. Thank you for sharing, very inspiring!
That is 1 country I keep telling my husband we ARE going to. I'd fly into Tokyo, convert currency, get personal supplies we need, other things, hit some of the top street venders, get some bento boxes, drinks and head to the country sides, stay at Ryokans with onsen
That takoyaki place is a gem! I stayed at a hotel near that takoyaki place when I visited Osaka last year. I walked past that takoyaki place once, saw there was a long queue, wondered what that was, so back in my hotel room, I googled for that place and found out it is one of the top recommended takoyaki place in Osaka. Went there the next day and their takoyaki did not disappoint. Near that area there is a small bakery that sells different flavours of anpan. Highly recommend that area instead of crowding around Dotonburi.
My favorite person eating all over the world for me to watch from afar. The best way to feel connected to each culture and their foods through your journey ❤
Many kushikatsu bars offer doteyaki as well as kushikatsu. Doteyaki is served quickly, so some people enjoy eating it drinking beer while waiting for their kushikatsu to be served. I am one of those people. I think that Osaka's beef kushikatsu is one of the unique food cultures of Osaka. I enjoyed your great video.
Welcome to Osaka, where the oden is a warm, comforting hug, spiced just right with karashi. It's simply unforgettable. Been there before, nice choice. Kampai
I've never been to Japan, but somehow, Japanese food is my favourite, everything from sushi, wagyu, green tea, matcha, you name it. I can't wait to one day go to Japan and vlog my entire experience. Also, thank you for making this video, Mark, definitely gonna try some of these places when I go to Japan and as always this is day 3 of commenting until we film a vlog together 💪🏾
@@MarkWiens no wayyyyyy, Mark I've been litreally watching you since you had long hair. My girlfriend and I love your videos. My dream is to one day film a food vlog with you 🙏Keep up the good work, also love the way you bring your wife and kid along with you to all the different places you travel too. That is very inspiring especially as somebody who one day hopes to have a family.
Mark, I love your content, cultural immersion and genuine appreciation for the people that you meet. Being from Kenya, have walked with you since early 2010's.

Yes! Mark is the reason my girls and I do our research before visiting a place, to be as respectful as possible.
I love how Mark always has positive energy. It’s really mentally soothing to watch his videos!
Mark the fact that you respect every culture and Cuisine across the Spectrum it's amazing
He is just acting lol. He acts like he knows what it is haha. Sometimes he just bluffs like calling the salmon nigiri a tuna.
He can't even recognize a salmon sushi.

It's wonderful seeing your son growing up through your videos. Can't believe he's so big now and can follow you around. So adorable.

Japanese food is perhaps my favorite cuisine out of all of them so I'm very excited for this journey!
It’s one million times better than turk food , I swear to God

@@MarkWiens Doesn't alot of those look awesome? Especially the ones that have very little to zero western influence.
Train travel in Japan is really the way to see the country. And so reasonably priced too.
Thank you for coming to Japan! Next time, please come to Tenjinbashisuji 6-chome shopping street. There are so many great restaurants!
We love Japan but steer away from all things fried as there are plenty of other healthy options …
Mark, great work mate! 🇦🇺
The editing in this video is on point! Every cut feels so intentional and seamless. Awesome work! 💯
