I am Japanese. Don't be misled, folks. JE is merely making a joke about the "Stamina Fatherless Son Bowl." The menu actually reads "Stamina GUY Bowl" (スタミナ野郎丼).. 🤣
Yeah, but let's be honest. We ALL want it to be the Stamina Fatherless Son Bowl (Kiwami). ... say, how much success do publicly made petitions have in Japan? Because I''ve got an idea for one.
It's an insulting way to refer to a guy mainly associated in media with criminal groups. There is no 1:1 translation. Young men emulating comics have made the term more common and the edge has diminished over time.
I can’t believe I caught that one, had to delve wayyyy deep in to the dusty recesses of my most neglected brain folds to recognize that 20 year old reference
It's going to be what some chef in a substory realizes would be the perfect name for his dish after a heartfelt tale of how he was a fatherless son growing up. This likely ends in Ichiban smashing a bike over the head of some goon who inevitably comes around to harass the young chef.
There are a handful of 男の晩ごはんs around Tokyo. It used to be one of my favorite restaurants when I lived there. They serve copious amounts of wonderfully greasy food at a low price. I love to see that you made a video about it!
Back in the ‘90’s I had a few restaurants in Tokyo. There were many all-you-can eat offerings for lunch and dinner. I only went to such places for lunch and saw an overwhelming number of women in these places. I said to the owner, “Having more female customers must keep your bottom line manageable.” I confirmed this with other owners and they all told me that women in general eat much more than male customers. I noticed a lot of eating contest winners were skinny little girls too.
@@jamestown4867bruh no way. Women usually eats less than most males cus they are smaller and lighter so they don't need much energy. Atleast that's how it was for me
sanjaykrishna2646: Watch some Japanese eating contests. The huge sumo guy you’d think would win drops out right away and the tiny girl wins. I wouldn’t bother posting if there was no irony.
Hey, Japan eat, I have to call you that because I don’t know you by any other name. Your videos make me happy. I’m an overworked father of 2 (4 yr old and newborn) and your videos are a pleasant, light hearted escape for me. You make me laugh and you make me happy. Love your stuff man, keep it up. And also, love from Jamaica 👊🏾
I went here this week after seeing your video and holy crap, i thought i was hungry enough it but it was a battle to finish it. Im glad i did, but it took my stamina away rather than giving it. Also the staff is both indian, was expecting obaasan but whatever.
I always think it's funny when dishes have "stamina" in the name but look like they'd give me a food coma I'd never wake up from edit: horumonyaki is also described on Wikipedia as being a "stamina building food" 😅
Superman 64 has lead many down a strange and slightly exciting turn of life we did not expect. "Its the gift that keeps making you think well that exist" very needed lesson of life.
It used to be brought up a lot as the go-to example of a trash licensed game during the Normal Boots days of youtube. (before all but like 2 of the members of normal boots revealed themselves to actually be scum).
Your honest reviews never disappoint. I'll probably never be able to afford a trip to Japan, but if someday I do, I'm DEFINITELY going to try your suggestions ❤
That random System of a Down reference kinda messed me up brother, I'm not gonna lie. This is why we come back. Trek forward dear friend, with all of that stamina, you will be fine.
Hey Gwen, I’ve been a fan of Zero since release (except for the fact that non-splinter cell fans don’t know who I’m referring to when I say anything along the lines of “Sam” or “Fisher”), but I haven’t really been playing him much since the release of Solis since I’m under the impression she gives him a much harder time since she can more easily find the cameras. With that in mind, I’d like to ask if Solis’s very existence is as much of a deal breaker for bringing Zero into a round as I think it is, and what are some things to keep in mind when dealing with a Solis when trying to leverage Zero’s utility.
"I'm so mad superman 64 exists" bro my childhood day nightmare! i remember flying around encountering a few rings and enemies and not understanding what the f is going on and what I'm supposed to do😂😂
it’s existence will only make u more angry once u know the troubled development history behind it. there was actually gonna be a PlayStation port that was WAY better than the n64 nightmare we got. the PlayStation port was gonna be the first 3d open world with destructible environments. it would also have better controls and less awkward buttons. but it was unfortunately cancelled since Titus, the developers license was expiring as the final episodes of the superman animated series was airing its final episodes on tv. this forced the developers to rush production of the game with little time left, which inevitably led to the released product. DC comics executives also forced the developers to make many changes, including Superman not being allowed to hurt regular people, which led to the infamous and weird "computer simulation world" that serves as the game's universe.
No matter how amazing the content or the video of any blogger could be, the first and the major thing which caresses the content/video and a human in general is the SPEECH! A perfectly flowing with a soothing, calming and at the same time keeping one's attention in a constant focus speech. If a speech sounds like this one, it becomes unbearable for me to listen to! Because, to me personally this kind of speech like in this video is inanimate, cold and empty.
If you’re looking for a home-ly vibe, try ‘Katsu’ okonomiyaki in Kyoto. Food was good but the service is really what makes this place shine, especially for gaijin.
this is the best thing you've ever posted. More hidden treasure restaurants that appear questionable on first glance and unassumingly insult you with a sense of confusion please!
in japan, dishes named stamina means "tons of proteins or aromatic veggies like garlics are included". they named it "this makes you tough" but we'll get tired to finish it.

Love your content. Showing these kinds of mom and pop shops are the pillars of their communities and signal boosting them is such a great service ❤
The chicken breading looked really fluffy! The best kind 😊
Man, I hope I can try even a small fraction of the places you have been! Maybe you should create a must visit list for people planning to visit Japan!
I second this! I plan to visit next year and possibly start working there, so I'd love a list like that.
You have the best heavy music references, @japaneat

Sir, a second SOAD reference has hit the channel
the name reminds me of this one restaurant whose tagline was "mama cookin', papa eatin'"
Had to replay that 3 times just to see if I heard right... Man's really did say "delisiousity" 😂
I like your delivery style for your videos. Nonchalant yet informative and seemingly honest.

That intro got me really good lol. Kids know the meme, old people like me KNOW. And that was the one rental for the week so it's that or homework.

Worst game in the 64 you are not missing anything 😂😂

Think of Superman 64 whenever younger people think whatever mediocre game they saw complaints about on Twitter is "worst game ever".
