- Today I run around Azabujuban eating as many foods as I can find, this place is considered really exclusive in Japan. But it's a really approachable place with lot's of old and new still co-existing.

Thankfully i saved this video until dinnertime.
Watching this while having dinner is the best strategy xD
Mmm mmm mm
This really feels like a classic Junk Food Japan episode. Going store to store trying all kinds of street food.
And a wild Minoru Suzuki appears at 12:33 !!!!
Ooooh you called it ! Inthoughtbitbwas a bit cheeky to put that in there but nice call TOMODACHI
I love these street foods video 😋
Us too!
I've heard that traditional shotengai shopping streets are dying off in Japan due to the influx of big box discount retailers. I'd love to see a regular series highlighting the unique charm of Mom n' Pop shotengai shops in different neighborhoods!
This is totally going to happen
Mom and pop dildo stores were the first to go
Can you please keep it nice?
What a great video!! Loved seeing all the little shops and local treats. From all the "Mmm's" I can tell you enjoyed yourself! 🥰
Yep! You had me at Mmm’s welcome to the channel TOMODACHI
Thank you for showing us Azabujuban. I'm a Huge sailor moon fan. It's a beautiful city I hope I get to visit one day. I can totally see Usagi and her friends. walking into some of these restaurants and stands.
Sailor moon 🌙 they have so many fans! Chiaki from NHK World show “Imagine Nation” was a huge fan too
@@JunkFoodJapan that's so cool!
I wish street food like this existed in North America. Most "street food" here is very sweet and not really cheap.
Read that as Azerbaijan lol
Me too!😂
Same!
Some of Battlefield 3 is set there. That's cool by the way.
Guilty as well..
Aye
I'm finally back home and totally missed this area. I missed a lot of areas since we didn't have that much time. You're giving me ideas for next time though!
And more will come
Another awesome video amigo. Next time I'm there I'll buy you a beer!
Sounds like a plan TOMODACHI
Thanks for the Edo food history! Super smashing! Gonna ace that japanese history test!
Just 9 minutes in and I have seen so many things I'd love to try. Also, I learned the Japanese word for 'raccoon'. I love this channel! ❤
Thank you ShellyS2060 it’s motivating to read comments like this.
Best after work dinner video for the week, good work Nick!
Thank you 🙏 it makes me really happy to read comments like this
What I like about your videos the enthusiasm & good sense of humor period 😊🤗😝 me likey snacks & sweets 🍬
Great video, I want to explore this area on my next trip! Video suggestion is the alleyway under the train tracks at Yurakucho.
I have a friend who has a great craft beer place right there. Tokyo Ale works totally worth dropping in for some of the whiskey wings they offer apart from the beers
@@JunkFoodJapan Awesome, thanks for the tip! Right up my alley!
Great video. I'd love to do this. I like your idea of a video dedicated to Japanese items.
Great video! I've always wondered if they have many vegetarian options in Japan? Sending much happiness from Minnesota.
It’s not a big thing here but there are places around for sure.
Nice video Nic.....do a video on different places that have takoyaki balls.
LoL you had me at balls
Junk food Japan is back to its best.
I haven’t given an episode rating for a while.
Today’s junk food rating is 10/10.
I gotta hit that bagel spot. I miss New York 😅
Thank you and feel free to keep rating. It motivates me to do more greatness
@@JunkFoodJapan I rate how “junk” the food is. None of that healthy stuff you been showing us. The channel is always 10/10 😉
I've been to Japan 7 times and, I'm disappointed to say, I've never tried oden. This video just made me want to hop on an aeroplane to Tokyo and make the first item on my itinerary be eat some!! 😂
Oden is best in the winter for sure but seriously the Daikon is always good
Awesome post mate....!! Loved it. If you ever visit Sydney, please let me know.
We can’t wait to visit Down Under, something is in the plans for next year for sure 👍 stay tuned TOMODACHI
LETS GOOOOOO ANOTHER JUNK FOOD JAPAN VIDEO!!!
BoooooooooM
Finally , we really get to see some good junk food served in Japan, MMM, umai 😋🙏. My favorite has always been onigiris and zaru soba
Happy to see you hung around for more food stories
@@JunkFoodJapan 🙏 itadakimasu
I’d love to see a different style of video from you. You’re doing that algorithm friendly react to trendy food thing and an awful lot of people already occupy that space. ( you do it really well and you’re fantastic on camera by the way )
I feel like you’re overlooking your super power though!
You’ve basically spend your whole adult life in Japan, you’ve gained a whole of experience and stories from that. I’m sure you’re also a pillar of the community over there running a gym and you have a lot of Japanese friends.
I feel like you should be doing long form conversational type stuff with guests over food or drinks. Especially with home cooking, I can’t think of any western RUclipsr that’s hanging out with locals in their homes eating home cooked meals.
It would be a great niche and would make for really good videos.
You ever checked out my Tokyo Talks podcast ? We did some great shows and had to pause production, but there is some great content there TOMODACHI
@@JunkFoodJapan just discovered the other channel last night. You would be so good at that kind of podcast content but over food. Something Anthony Bourdain-esque.
By the way, I’m heading back out to Japan in October and coincidentally a friend of mine is also going for the first time to train. Think he’s getting his black belt (something about Shodan and teaching up to 4th kyu?)
Anyway he knows very little about Japan so I’ve been filling him in, it occurred me to when I typed that last night that he might have heard of you so I asked.
“Oh yeah, kick city. Guy could cut down a tree with his low kick”
He was saying one of his training mates studied you and styled his low kick from yours.
He had no idea you had a food channel so I’ve sent him over for research.
That is really cool to hear. Let me know if you guys want to swing by my gym Across Fitness in Tokyo while you are here ? Can always DM me
@@JunkFoodJapan that would be really cool! He would love that. I’ll shoot you a DM closer to the date. Think we are meeting up towards the end of his training around the 19th of October, thanks!
Thank you Nic, loves your Junk food contents... how about hottest or spiciest ramen shops? would love to watch your reactions of that hehe
Ooooh I’m not so good with spicy 🌶️ …
My favourite shopping street was in kita-senju. Not because it was especially good, I just liked the vibe.
I have never been. Might need to investigate
@@JunkFoodJapan I'm not surprised. Most Japanese people I talked to either have never been, or went there once. The drinking street there is also supposed to be really good too.
Video suggestion. What about a walking tour through Magome/Tsumago and stopping at various food outlets along the walk?
I’ll put it on the list for sure 👍
I live down the street from that area and I've tried New York Bagel, Abechan and Kinokuniya. There are also a couple of great/cheap yaoyas that are away from the main Azabujuban area that I go to. I'll have to try the Curry Pan place.
They might have closed down…
Really enjoyed this one, thank you Nick :)
You are welcome TOMODACHI FYI its just Nic but thank you for your support
Lol that ending blooper 😅 love it
LoL 😂
There's countless number of local 'shotengai' shopping street like this found right in front of residential area train station not far from central Tokyo. Togoshi Ginza, Yanaka Ginza, Sugamo Jizo-dori, Kichijoji SUNROAD....
All in the road map for future projects
Seeing the Bagel, how about making an episode about foreign food in Japan. There are many places where chefs went our in the world to bring back another cuisine, then took the best of japanese mentality and smashed all together to create something completely unique.
Sounds like a great idea!
Haha the devils cauldron in that yakitori kitchen😂
Alt kærlighed fra Danmark som altid🇩🇰
Tak skal du have Viking Tomodachi ! Vildt gammel sovs LOL
I would love to see you do a food challenge!
LoL 😂 I can’t eat a whole lot of food anymore. I did Steak challenge with Champs kitchen and Wanko with Ryotaro check out the videos on the channel TOMODACHI
If you ever do a deep dive for bread, try to find a store that has German style bread.
When it comes to Yakitori I don't like all variants. Cartelage probably the least and also not a fan of heart.
Great video. How long did you film for as thats alot of food lol. Forgot to mention bagel shop no cash 😮
Yeah sorry about that. I actually had to cut that scene out as I was flashing my credit card around LOL 😂
i'm only about 3 minutes in, but that cheese curry pan...😍
It’s soooo good that we had to go back and refilm the whole scene because the first time it was out of focus
That bagel looks divine
Mmm mmm mm
Are there any parks in the area where you can sit down to eat? Seems a lot of these places are takeout only and I don't want the food to cool on the way back to the hotel.
Would love to see more shotengai vids. The big ticket shopping centers are great, but nothing beats finding hidden gems when travelling.
Most likely there is always a park near a shotengai in Japan. Amishiro park is near this shopping street👍
Hmmm 🤔 not really but you could sit down inside the Shotengai or cross the street from where the Tully’s coffee shop is. There’s a fountain and a small park
I would love for you to visit Aomori and try out the sweets, cakes and cider
Aomori is coming soon… trust me
Definitely visiting Azabujuban when me and my family go to Japan this June, I wonder if you can list the places you visited? Even in Japanese is fine. Cheers.
小麦の禁断症状 was the curry bread place. Everything else is just around the corner TOMODACHI
for the algo. also, missed you at the cycleathon
Yeah I wanted to cycle too
2 hour wait for taiyaki?!
Nic is the best!!!!
Thanks TOMODACHI
Nicholas founded the Tansuikabutsu-Kai, also known as karubohaidoratesu-kai
And all you need to join the clan is to proper ITADAKIMASU at a local store
@@JunkFoodJapan 🤣
I dare you LOL
Oh i know french, like "AzAbuJUbaN~"
I am here for the Minoru Suzuki cameo! lol🤣
Nice one ! Some TOMODACHI have recognized him just like yourself. That guy is still going strong 💪
@@JunkFoodJapan agreed! I met him a couple of years ago here in Texas and I am traveling to New York to meet him again! Amazing!
Wow it really is a small world
Did I miss the bit where he said the name of the curry pan shop?
小麦の禁断症状
Oishisou!
Mmm mmm mmm 😋
Ah Azerbaijan.. where you are told to say the food tastes good.😂
Can you please lower the volume of the sound effect? They always jumpscare me because of how loud they are compared to your voice D:
It's crazy how affordable it is to get some food in Japan. Even though they are expensive on other things like renting, you can get a really good meal almost anywhere.
You are right. It’s actually quite affordable if you know what you are looking for
This is on my list. How do you cope with the jetlag 😂 we feel like zombies 😂😂😂😂
Just keep drinking
@@JunkFoodJapan I never stopped 😂
Fly me out there and i'll show you
Please stop making me hungry 🥺
ITADAKIMASU
Love junk food in Japan ❤ however what's wrong with the focus ?
It was a new camera and we had issues with it, not to worry. More better content will be forthcoming. Feel free to hang around for more food stories TOMODACHI
What's the name of the curry pan place? :S
小麦の禁断症状
You need either a new camera that has auto focus or you need a new cameraman. Nevertheless, thanks for sharing your food adventure.
We are doing our best but that new camera has been giving us some serious trouble! Don’t worry we have fixed it and better quality content will be coming soon TOMODACHI
Try saying Azabujuban quickly three times!
I dare you
@@JunkFoodJapan Azabujuban Azabujuban Azabujuban
😂
😂
Nice beard 🙂
Feed Paul! ❤
Feed Nic?
Feed Chris?
LMFAO 😂 NO don’t feed Chris
Agreed, spare the Yakitori’s fate of entering Chris’ singularity of a stomach :p
Why is he talking so loud like it echoes far away lol😂
you remind me of jet black
Who? Jack Black ? Or Jet Li ?
How many cuts did it take for you to pronounce Azabujuban at the beginning? 😂
Actually about 20 not kidding… we were having camera issues and had to go back and retake it all
What's up with all the super cars? lol
I wanted to showcase old and new and those cars kept coming randomly
camera guy needs to focus, in many scenes the background is in focus and you are blurred.
Thank you 🙏 Angela was shooting with the new camera and it was quite the experience! Feel free to hang around and see us grow TOMODACHI
You should've had that liver with fava beans and a nice chianti.
Хватит пугать прохожих мистер УМАЙ
Your whole video is out of focus lol. Like ur videos but ... What's with the focus 😅
Sorry it was a new camera and we had problems. Don’t worry we fixed it
speaks japanese but still says PAAN instead of PAHN
Bruh........................................ Azabu is central yes, it's easy to find yes, but it's still very quiet relatively speaking. Pushing this video like Azabu is full of tiktok grabs is kinda dirty, no?? It's just not... and the spots u & I know shouldn't be :|
I didn’t know I was trying to push it as TikTok bait ? It was a walk about basically and we just had fun experimenting with the new Camera and working as a team. Hope you can enjoy our content in the future as well?
Who's doing your camera work Samurai ? Its really really dark & wobbly and you're not even in focus ☹️
Even a $5 Temu plastic cage frame would help make it more steady !
It's painfully obvious the camera person has absolutely no idea what they're doing ☹️
There's got to be someone from the Trash Taste tech squad who can help train you with camera work ?
At least the audio is ok and the editing is always spot on, but OMG This was painful to watch, you deserve better than this to help your channel succeed Nic ☹️
If it's Angela doing the camera work, I apologize for my harsh words. I'm a retired TV cameraman and watching RUclips is sometimes VERY frustrating. I'm only trying to help raise the channel up as these videos are permanent and the poor camera skills reflect badly on Nic.
Dude, relax and enjoy the ride. It's about passion and happiness, not production value.
It’s ok. I don’t mind the hard truth. It was the first time for us to film with that camera and it was a learning experience for sure. The content was good enough to make a video so I did what I could with the footage. Some scenes had to be retaken the next day. But I feel it came together well.
And yes Angela was filming and she has been filming for some time now, it’s a team effort.
Our goal is to be self sufficient team and get 100,000 subscribers. And we are learning so much each time we create content.
Upwards and onward it is isn’t it?
