That system with the little sushi monorail is so awesome, and the Japanese 7-11 is light years ahead of ours. Modern Japan and its' people are a model of how humanity should be, free, yet disciplined, and happy too. I wish I could afford to go there just once, just once.

    Thank you Gareth, for sharing your food experience in Japan! It's an excellent video. I chose this video to show to my English students in Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia), we are talking about experiences in our class. I have tried Japanese food but not in Japan, but I do agree with you that Bangkok and Istanbul has some of the best food in the world. I lived in both cities and thoroughly enjoyed the culture and the food. I am an English teacher and over the past 22 years I have worked in 6 countries: Singapore, Malaysia, China, Kazakhstan, the country of Georgia and Turkey and now my 7th country, Mongolia. Hope you keep travelling and keep sharing your videos!

    I went to that conveyor belt Sushi in Shibuya in 2017 end of September. It's around the same time you uploaded this video. We came upon it while walking in Shibuya. There were people (mostly locals) lined up all the way to the outside waiting their turn. When you see locals waiting to enter a restaurant then don't miss the opportunity. The sushi was delicious but the most fun part was the experience. Affordable prices too.
    Oh yes! The convenience store food is awesome. I've never seen such a elaborate meals from 7 Eleven.

    THANK YOU for this Video! When i lived and worked in Japan, a couple of co-workers took me to a place where they made Okonomiyaki, sort of a Japanese pancake or omelet. You sat down at a table with a heated griddle on top. You placed your order for your ingredients - Beef, chicken, pork, squid, octopus, etc or you could go with mixed vegetables. You each received a bowl with your ingredients in a batter which you then cooked on the griddle. There was oil provided as well as powdered Nori (seaweed) and bonito flakes to sprinkle on top. It was very tasty but the communal style cooking and eating was what made it so much fun!

    Because Kansai has a much longer history. It's been the capital of Japan for 1000 years before Edo(Tokyo) period.
    There are variety of dishes, from deluxe one to Class B gourmet.
    Talking about Ramen, you should really go to Kyushu for Tonkotsu , using pig bones soup stock.

    Mate, followed your advice. Went to Inakaya Robata. Enjoyed the experience but was not expecting a 25,000 Yen bill for a small feed. Luckily I asked for the menu half way through ordering. Be warned for those who choose to visit a Robata without any knowledge on how expensive these restaurants can be. A single king prawn was 5,000 Yen or roughly $50 USD

      The cost isn't for food itself, it's for the actual service...and the new tax for sitting in a restaurant.
      They don't allow tipping, they just put it into the price.
      Price for price it's cheaper to go to a higher end restaurant...better quality food, more food, relatively same price tag.

  • @alexsakon

    coming from a native Japanese.....that was a pretty good video actually. next time, I'd recommend a few other niche genres: unagi, tonkatsu, soba, izakaya, curry, etc. BTW, ramen pork bone broth is tonkOtsu, TonkAtsu is something entirely different fyi

    • @GarethLeonard

    • @oooBASTIooo
      @oooBASTIooo 7 лет назад +1

      I don't think that tonkatsu has much to offer for someone from europe or the states...
      But I would definitely recommend going to a good tempura place, a good izakaya (like uokin for example) and a good kaiten sushi (genki sushi got pretty bad, try midori kaiten sushi, they are worlds apart). Udon is also a must eat. Oh, and go to a good tantanmen place. I'd recommend usagi ramen in shibuya.

    When I went to Japan last year -- for a sumo tournament, so I was staying in Ryogoku -- I didn't try Kirishima's place, because the still-active rikishi Aminishiki had two chanko restaurants of his own right nearby and I wanted to eat at one of them. He has a large place across from the train station, and a smaller place in the nearby yokocho. (Kirishima is a retired sumo wrestler now serving as a sumo "elder" under the name of Michinoku.)
    Rikishi don't actually eat there, though. If they want chanko, they can stay home and eat for free at the heya. But we did see a lot of rikishi eating at a Mongolian restaurant on the next block. Which wasn't too surprising, since many of the top sumo wrestlers are Mongolian these days, although some of the Eastern Europeans were there too.
