    I often have trouble with my appetite because of medication, so I like watching your videos to make myself hungrier before meals 😊 thank you for the great videos! The vegetable egg dish looked super tasty, and cheap as well!

    I love these old style places! You can find them in Tokyo as well, indeed usually on back streets. The champon looked interesting so different then what I've seen on the mainland.
    The onigiri look amazing. I saw such interesting flavours on the menu as well. And I like the folded style Okinawan onigiri have. It's almost like the onigirasu recipes. So easy to make

    Your videography just gets better and better, Shinichi!
    Everything looked so tasty. The Champon particularly appealed to me. You asked about our comfort foods. Mine is the whole category of "squishy" foods--lol--like vegetarian stews (no overcooked veggies), mashed potatoes, noodle dishes, soft serve ice cream, etc. How about you?
    Thanks for another thoroughly enjoyable video.

    Thanks so much! Your videos are constantly getting me excited for my upcoming trip to Japan. We have a full itinerary and are dining / eating / visiting several wonderful places. I may have to stay an extra week however!! You've got me interested in so many places. I am day dreaming about some really good Ramen and those breakfast sandwiches....YES!!! I ♥️ SPAM! The Spam can with napkins was a cute idea. I like your ending message. Japan has done a wonderful job through this ordeal. The key is to stick together, have empathy for others, follow common sense, and never put yourself first. Its not political, it's not a conspiracy...it's a problem and we have the ability to make better or worse. Thanks again for an interesting, informative, intriguing and entertaining video.

I picked Naha, Okinawa for a week. I hope I actually can do that sometime.

      The soba and champon look good. Love the fluffy eggs. The onigiri as usual looks delicious. Is the Okinawan miso in it? They put a little with the champuru plate at Okinawan Festival here. It is so good. The next time you to Okinawa, can try the inari sushi? It's lighter in color and not as sweet. They ordered it with a piece of fried chicken on the side. A Japanese TV show thought that was unusual. The cakes they thought were plain are the cakes we eat here. Every time they featured Okinawa, I'd end up saying, "What's so unusual about?" I guess much of our Japanese food here is Okinawan.
