Did you hear that crunch?! 🍤🍤🍤 Many thanks everyone for joining me on one of the most delicious trips so far! Let me know what foods or places you’d like me to try next and I’ll make sure it goes on the tastiest foods list ever made 😍
Hey! Great vid per usual, that tempura looks absolutely incredible! In another thread you mentioned fish and chips, now I'm wondering what're the best fish and chips in Japan, whether/how much of a spin they put on it, etc
The shot looks extra crispy. I'm curious on what you use to shoot your videos. Do you mind sharing the info? Btw. Thanks for making the subtitles bigger. A lot easier to read now. Stay healthy and cheers from Philippines!
@@JunkFoodJapan Thanks for replying. Happy New Year to you and yours! Btw, did you get my comment for recommendations on your Christmas QnA vid? For some reason it doesn't show up on my end.
Another great video, Nic! I always thought tempura was very greasy, because I think they do it wrong where I live. But when I went to Japan years ago I was so surprised! And this looked and sounded very light and crispy, amazing! Small side note, I really appreciate that your voice is so clear.
Great videos mate! Very high quality. You can for sure see the influence from Chris in the thumbnail and detail in the videos! I like that alot as i believe he helped you alot when you wanted to start your channel. Good luck on your journey on youtube!
The ending shot is just beautiful! I can imagine nothing better than eating a gorgeous, expertly prepared Japanese meal, then wandering through the night down those dense and vibrant alleys looking for a cosy little izakaya. You're living the dream, my man!
Editing is on point mate, like how you mixed it up with the outro on this one. But you looked a bit stiff in the beginning mate, guess it's pretty nerve-racking huh? 😅 But I'm sure you'll slowly get used to it and it's only a matter of time till when you do. Overall, loved the video and I'm dreaming of eating that 1 kilo tendon. 🤤 Keep up the good work Nick!
Nicholas, your editors are either having way too much fun or taking it out on you, just saying😂 Did not see the chef's pun coming, loved it! So much humour packed in this video, and as always you make the dish sound so damn tempting!! Just wished you had filmed more of you eating that tempura because now I am left to wonder how long it took to finish it 🤣😅
I’m overdue for a trip to Sendai, absolutely adding this to my next trip!! Tempura oyster sounds delicious. No way I’m even trying a bowl that size myself, but good tempura is happiness.
Wow that bowl of tendon looked great. And reasonably priced too. We've been to a few great tempura places in Japan but it is hard to find cheap tempura. But it is like great sushi. It is a skill the chef takes a lifetime to perfect so that skill is worth paying for. Te te te ten is somewhere I will try and check out the next time we go to Japan. though. Tempura is one thing I try to make at home occasionally. It is impossible to get it like the Japanese tempura chefs but it is okay. Better than ordinary old fish and chips 😂
Watched this after the recent video, The BEST Wagyu in Tokyo with Abroad in Japan. Maybe you should look at the various food challenges, soba, gyoza, ramen, etc... and drag Chris along. Visits to dagashi shops would also be interesting.
Oh man that looks good. I just remember the last tempura restaurant I went to (once again I think it was a chain) in Nishi-Ogikubo? They brought out the tempura as it was fried so you didn't get it all at once (I've been to a similar restaurant in Umeda). The shishito was so spicy that I couldn't feel my tongue or taste anything after I ate it.
These videos are all so well put together, so well edited, it’s really incredible quality for such a new channel. I feel bad saying anything, even intended as constructive criticism… but I thought the music while you were eating and describing the meal was a tiny bit too loud and felt a bit intrusive. Maybe adjust the levels to foreground your voice more and the music less? I could be the only one who feels that way though. But this is a minor thing! A humble suggestion! You are great, please keep up the good work!
Love the feedback @Kevin Tynan we are only 4 shows in but seriously look forward to continuing this journey with you and all the other new found friends here.
Damn everything looks so good and mouthwatering even after I've eaten already! That oyster especially looked great, even if my personal experience with oyster resulted in a mild case of food poisoning
Oh man that looks so good. My mouth waters whenever I see beautiful fresh prawns.... BUT I don't like most seafood 😅 I'm not a picky eater but seafood is the one thing I don't like despite wanting to like it. Good thing you can tempura anything you like lol
Absolutely not @Schwantz Kopf it was too much for me for sure. But thanks for asking. Only thing I promise you is that I Nwill be honest here on the channel. Stay tuned for more.
@@JunkFoodJapan It's a pretty weird concept to me as a westerner, that fried food is expensive. I think it is something that one would need to experience to really understand.

that looked incredible. but did you get through it all?
Man that’s gonna take a lot of hard work down the gym to burn off 😂
How come you weren't in the video, Chris? Sendai is your turf!
@@juanpabloperezgomez4349 exactly, chris needs to proves his dominance 😂
Good thing he owns one lol
Chef Ueno's 'battered' pun was quality and deserving of recognition.
He puts as much love and care into his puns as he does his tempura
Quality
Man your cinematography and editing is on point. Keep up the great content love yr vids :)
Thanks! The real trick is it's actually all green screen!
This channel is amazing for being so new! Make sure you guys review those delicius okonomiyaki!
I was wanting to do some Monya Yaki soon
I love the shameless shade you through at yourself in the editing 🤣
instead of trying to present yourself as an expert on everything in the filming.
If there's one thing I know it's...how much I don't know...
I can’t wait to go to Japan, adding more and more to the bucket list with this channel 😂
I actually really appreciate the editing on this video! It certainly added some amusing bits to it
Glad you enjoyed it! and welcome to the channel
Monster Ramen, Monster Gyoza and Wanko soba. Show @AbroadInJapan how a real man does it.
Seriously ? OK bring it on!
The editing is so great on these videos. Love it.
BoooM @TheNogster
Another week, Another amazing production and hope we can see more
All of these Japanese Fast Food looks so amazing I cant stop wathcing the vidoes! Keep these fantastic vidoes up :D
Hai! Just hang around for more food stories and welcome to the channel TOMODACHI
The shot looks extra crispy. I'm curious on what you use to shoot your videos. Do you mind sharing the info?
Btw. Thanks for making the subtitles bigger. A lot easier to read now.
Stay healthy and cheers from Philippines!
Hey Happy New Year! I think they use Sony cameras? But don’t quote me on that. I can ask them to add it in the description?
@@JunkFoodJapan Thanks for replying. Happy New Year to you and yours!
Btw, did you get my comment for recommendations on your Christmas QnA vid? For some reason it doesn't show up on my end.

Saadan @Renne Vangr It was really yummy and totally worth the trip if you ever find yourself in Sendai.
Great videos mate! Very high quality. You can for sure see the influence from Chris in the thumbnail and detail in the videos! I like that alot as i believe he helped you alot when you wanted to start your channel. Good luck on your journey on youtube!
Dr. Broad is the Man for sure, I have a great team backing me up. Hang around for more to come
Super cool, I will have to try it if Japan opens back up soon.
Your videos are great! Really high quality for a starter in the youtube sphere. I will keep watching, good luck Nicholas. いただきます!
absolutely loving your videos
We are happy to hear it!
The ending shot is just beautiful! I can imagine nothing better than eating a gorgeous, expertly prepared Japanese meal, then wandering through the night down those dense and vibrant alleys looking for a cosy little izakaya. You're living the dream, my man!
Boom @Brian M that evening was absolutely magic, great times shared with great friends in that Izakaya area was amazing
That was a very satisfying episode to watch.
It was very fun to eat too!
Hello Tomodachi! I love these videos on your new channel ^^. You have great energy as always and the videos looks really professional!
Yeah TOMODACHI nice to see you cross over and support. Hang around for more food stories
@@JunkFoodJapan Thank you! I look forward to it 😊.
"Never let yourself get battered" is such a good caption

Thanks @Jimmy King I will try my best for sure, one shoot at a time one eat at a time
Great video as always mate! I was expecting to see Chris since you were in Sendai, but maybe we’ll see him in the future haha
I think it was a near miss on that day...
Nicholas, your editors are either having way too much fun or taking it out on you, just saying😂

Just wished you had filmed more of you eating that tempura because now I am left to wonder how long it took to finish it 🤣😅
@Garfield It was a HUGE bowl and not worth showing me munching away at it, I was actually hoping that Tobi and Paul would film me going for a drink...
Its such a well made video!
Sendai is awesome 🙏🏻
This looks amazing!🤤🤤
You're killing it mate, keep pushing
I’m overdue for a trip to Sendai, absolutely adding this to my next trip!! Tempura oyster sounds delicious. No way I’m even trying a bowl that size myself, but good tempura is happiness.
Just order A La Carte and enjoy the cuts you want, but I suggest getting the Crab and Oyster, with the ginger in between!
Yummy.. that looks amazing for someone not into seafood. Keep it up.. some day, I may have a pretty good list of Japanese 'junk' foods to try out..
Start taking notes or ? just subscribe to channel! @Habib Malik
That crab leg tempura looks like it’ll complete my life
It will definitely stop you from feeling crabby that's for sure!
this video was really cool thank you good gentleman
You are welcome. Feel free to hang around and watch more food stories to come.
Man you're the reason why I get fat... But you're also the reason how I stay fit... 😁
Love your channels...
You are too kind TOMODACHI thank you for your support of the channel for sure!

I also really like FishNChips down at the pub to be honest
@@JunkFoodJapan I'm with you there too 😁
That oyster was massive!
Omg...I need to have this!!! I love tempura! 💜
for the volume of the dish I was surprised at how good it was!
A very well made video👍
Another banger
That looks so good

Tempura is always best right out of the oil… just make sure to blow on it to cool it down a little
Oh shit your in sendai ??? heres hoping for that abroad in japan collaboration soon !
Yeah can't wait to work with Dr. Broad
Sendai looks like such a cool city
it's pretty cool place to hang around for sure. There is also a Spirit Gym by Nicholas Pettas there
We need more frequent uploads of JFJ... arigatogozaimasta 🙏🙏
Right! I think so too, but your help here is all we need to do more, so keep coming back and keep sharing the channel
I know you just did a colaboration with him, but I'd love to see you do more teamups with Chris to for example try and beat the 100 bowl challenge.
that looks amazing :D
I want to try tempura so bad, it looks delicious 🙂

I didn't know some of these things could be deep fried, but man that deep fried oyster looks delicious. Also great to hear that crunch
That Oyster was huge! and so sweet and juicy... The movie actually doesn't do it justice, It was soooo gooood
Another great video Nicholas! Hopefully not a strange request but could you include more of you speaking Japanese if possible in your videos?!
いいですよ！Of course TOMODACHI
@@JunkFoodJapan arigatou gozaimasu!
Awww yeah, I really love a ten-don, and this place is a real surprise as Sendai is more famous for their gyutan.
It's JFJ mission to find these small gems in the Japanese world of culinary experiences of food here
I absolutely adore deep fried food in general and I cannot wait to taste real tempura
Wish we can visit soon...interesting that the 3,500 yen course menu seems to be missing from their English website...
Thanks for checking it out!
Oh man, I hope Chef Ueno has beds in that restaurant because it's lights out for me after I eat all of that tempura! #foodcoma
For real, I’ve taken on some tough opponents in my time and this dish is up there with them. At least it didn’t punch back!
Hope you managed to get some zunda shake in Sendai!
That's just great. Now I want Tempura!! (But Japan is still not open for tourists...)
I'm not angry. I'm jealous! (and hungry...)
Let me know what other places you want me to 食い倒す Kuitaosu knock over eat? So I can help you not be angry
@@JunkFoodJapan Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki and Kushikatsu. In short, the top three of Osaka's street food scene.
I loooove tempura! This video makes me so hungry and I just ate breakfast! XD
Me too actually...
you dare you go to sendai and not get the ultimate king of japanese youtube the affable and noble Mr. Chris broad himself.
I think I almost ran into him... that Legend....
@@JunkFoodJapan only the lucky of luckiest get to see the holy grail of youtube himself. you my friend are infact very lucky
Damn everything looks so good and mouthwatering even after I've eaten already! That oyster especially looked great, even if my personal experience with oyster resulted in a mild case of food poisoning
I was surprised to taste how juicy and sweet the oyster was
Very interesting video.
That looked so good TOMODACHI! I want it now 🤤
Nice work, great food. Actually made me feel urge to try some seafood, even though I hate it 😅
That king crab... Dude!
ultimate tendon, sounds like a treat. btw did u meet a guy named chris abroad, i hear lives in sendai
hmm? not sure if I bumped into him or not? He is the funny looking British guy right?
@@JunkFoodJapan yes, please be careful, he carries a nerf gun and shoots other British people with it
I freakin' love this.
Yeah me too
How much was the oyster? The bowl price was very reasonable and looked excellent.
I was ¥2800 I think? but we did add it on the video. I think that size was more of a share with a good friend kinda size
Oh man that looks so good. My mouth waters whenever I see beautiful fresh prawns.... BUT I don't like most seafood 😅 I'm not a picky eater but seafood is the one thing I don't like despite wanting to like it.
Good thing you can tempura anything you like lol
You got that right!
That dish do be looking delicious tho, but where's the "burn off your 1 kg worth of fried food" outro, Nick?? 😂
That outro is my favorite 😆
Had a great workout lifting glasses of whiskey!
@@JunkFoodJapan now that's a workout if I ever heard of one 😎
OMG bro - 1 KG, sounds insane but I'd try to take it on - I'm with you on the seafood and veggie aspect, just feels less heavy. Another dope video!
“Never let yourself get battered” should be on the first JFJ T-shirt
Oh Man, we so need some Merchandise JFJ RULES and or JFJ ITADAKIMASU
Congrats…your channel is growing nicely…
I can say I made a great choice to subscribe you, Mr X Boxer
見事
Thanks @Arka will do my best to make more great content because it's fun!
I just ate Canneloni but after that I am hungry again 🤣
you'll be fine with some extra food ! Happy stomach happy life
حاجات كتير حلوه جدا جدا ورائعه
Did you finish the meal though?
Absolutely not @Schwantz Kopf it was too much for me for sure. But thanks for asking. Only thing I promise you is that I Nwill be honest here on the channel. Stay tuned for more.
Japan's Guy Fieri is back let's go
OMG I am humbled @pokemonzr
The biggest thing Scotland and Japan have in common? Deep frying everything they can get their hands on 😂
Really? what kind of things get deep fried in Scotland?
Please find Japan's best curry!
RIGHT! I want to for sure...@redXlightning
We need to trade places man. Lol. This place is definitely on my to do now.
天丼 always comes on rice
Nice! :)
How about something sweet? I'm very curious about things like pastry and ice cream in Japan.
That sounds like a plan, spring times come with sweet things for sure
I see why Chris moved to Sendai now
5:04 bro its literally deep fried???
Yeah I figured it out
did the 1 kg include the rice? doesn't seem that impressive if it does tbh.
Of course it did
Wait, this isn't diners drive-ins and dives...
It's awesome food in Japan and if you end up over eating then it's junk for sure! welcome to the channel @BootStreams
I don't quite understand why tempura is considered expensive. Is the batter someway special? It does just look like lightly battered and fried food.
It's all about the deep profound understanding of the batter and temperature of the oil etc... yeah it's pretty tought to get it right.
@@JunkFoodJapan It's a pretty weird concept to me as a westerner, that fried food is expensive. I think it is something that one would need to experience to really understand.
No deep-fried Tempura Mars Bars?
LMFAO I saw that show! Somewhere in Texas right? That looked nuts
This looks so good , where I live a ten-don has one prawn onions and few other veggies and costs around 20$ 💔🥲
That doesn't sound right! Maybe you can learn something from my friends channel Champs Kitchen? he will teach you how to make authentic japanese food.
I really hope that you burned those calories man
I tried to... #stillookingformyabs #guiltypleasurescomeataprice
I know you just did a colaboration with him, but I'd love to see you do more teamups with Chris to for example try and beat the 100 bowl challenge.
Only if he calls me out on it, cause I don't back down from a fight
