The awkward moment when Champs Kitchen has more subs than Ryotaro in a quarter of the time 😂 (I'd better watch out). The Okonomiyaki looked absurdly good!
Big thank you to Ryotaro for helping me celebrate reaching over 130,000 subscribers (although it was still around 120,000 when we filmed this video!) Sorry about the knock-out though!
Glad you knocked him out in the end 🤣. Your laid back and friendly attitude easily explains why you made that 120k in third of the time. Keep the mood up champ!
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen That's actually not a bad Idea. I'd definitely watch that. Edit: Chris doesn't even have to help cooking, it's enough if he tries it.
As a substitute for the yam I've landed on a combination of tapioca flour, which has a lot of mucilaginous fiber which is what makes the yam so slimey, baking powder, to replace the air that's added when you grate it, and a bit more water to make sure the batter isn't too dry
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen Yeah! I really like the part that you make adjustment to make it more healthier. It makes me being able to eat delicious food meanwhile losing body fat 😆
I've had this once at a Japanese shop here in the Netherlands and it was sooooo good and I'm totally in love with the taste! Definitely going to make this! Also, Ryotaro seems to be everywhere! XD
There’s also a teppanyaki place in Amstelveen that does seriously good Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki, both in Osaka style and Hiroshima style. Look up Ichii Amstelveen. 👍
It's true about the lid! It seemed natural to do this, and cook everything well, but the texture of the pancake was very soft, almost "melted"! I tried again, and turned the heat up at the end to make it brown and crispy on the outside.... THEN I thought: "I should watch that video again, I"m just guessing". Maybe tomorrow I'll go find a piece of that mountain yam! You can buy it here (Florida, USA)
Eee! This looks great! I love sending these videos to my father, because he's a lot like you in the kitchen and it's nice to have something like this to talk about, since I just moved several hours away. Thank you!
I love all the healthy recipes on this Channel. They look very tasty too! But my favorite part of all the videos is the end where Champ washes dishes after the meal. It feels therapeutic. Calm.
I just found your channel last week and subscribed immediately. I absolutely love your videos. I love Japanese cooking and your enthusiasm makes your videos so much fun to watch. And what a crazy coincidence! I’ve been watching Abroad in Japan for years and love Ryotaro as well as his new channel. I got so excited when I saw he was featured in this video! It would be so much fun if you did a cooking tutorial with Chris from Abroad in Japan! He could really use one. He’s always going on about how poor his cooking skills are. Microwaving cup ramen is about the extent of Chris’ culinary skills.
This channel is so charming. I love Japanese food, I also boxed long ago. What I love most about the videos is the washing of dishes in the credits. I hate doing dishes, but this makes it easier for me to think of it as relaxing, instead.
Tried making okonamiyaki recently and from other recipes I've read, adding baking powder makes it fluffy. So, if you can't find the yam like I can't, try it with the baking powder hack, it works.
I'm just eating this now after trying to make it for the first time. It turned our all right I think. I'm full, but I can't stop eating, it is just so good.
I’ve seen countless recipe videos for popular Japanese dishes over the years on RUclips and I gotta say I really really really enjoy and appreciate the energy and overall quality of your videos, Champ! It’s such a feel-good and informative experience that is topped off with a calming clip of washing dishes after a yummy meal which is rewarding/satisfying in its own way and is super relatable. I also don’t feel as guilty eating my favorite Japanese meals with your healthier options. 😂 Especially tonkatsu. Congratulations on your current milestone and I hope to continue to see your channel grow over many years! Omedetou-gozaimasu!
YOU DID OKONOMIYAKI?! Thank you so much! I loved the video and it was great seeing Ryotaro here as well. LOVED the "Player 2" in the animated intro. Keep up the great videos!!
Awesome video! One of my favourite memories on my second trip to Japan was walking into a very small local restaurant where an older woman was clearly the one in charge and having her daughter assist on a very busy night. We were in Miyajima and got served an absolutely amazing Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. Since then, we have been making it at home as well.
I usually use a premade flour mix, coleslaw mix (so there is also little strings of carrot and some red cabbage), and I like to cut up bacon to stir into the batter as well.
Ryosuke is such a great guy... at this point I just watch his videos because I feel so at home he deserves so much more attention best cooking channel on youtube
This looks AMAZING! Cannot wait to try it! I just love your channel. You present your recipes in a way that makes them so simple and easy to follow. Thank you Champ!!!
I learned how to make okonomiyaki earlier this year, after enjoying it in Japan many times. My wife gets a stomachache from eggs, so I made it without egg. It worked just as well. I make my own sauce and kewpie-style mayonnaise. It's easy.
champ thanks for knocking him out, he deserved it for putting that Mayonaise on there. THIS IS CHAMPS JAPANESE KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was introduced to okonomiyaki by a coworker who brought some to work about 5 years ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Your version looks delicious and 100% needs mayo! No healthy eater here
I prefer Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, but all of it is good. Every style, every topping - it's just out of control how delicious a dish it is. God bless Japanese comfort food! (also Ryotaro is TOTALLY correct: okonomiyaki *needs* kewpie mayo.)
I'm very happy to know about this channel! It appeared in my timeline just yesterday and I watched almost all the videos in a row! Fantastic chef! Greetings from Brazil!
This recipe is fantastic, but I gotta say I like Hiroshimayaki more. It's probably just because I had a wonderful experience visiting Hiroshima, and that was capped off with some good Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki after a long, rewarding day sightseeing on Miyajima.
after I watched your first video, without even finishing it haha! I subscribed right away!! I ended up watching all your videos in just 1 day. Now I'm heading to the grocery to try the recipes
This was fun to watch ! It's nice to see fellow RUclipsrs appear in another channel. I've always wondered about how okonomiyaki tastes with Japanese mayonnaise. Thankfully, we have several Japanese markets here in Vegas.
Glad you mention you can leave out the Japanese Yam and Mochi, outside of maybe some international food stores there are places in the US those will be hard to get unless ordered and shipped online. I've always wanted to try Okonomiyaki, but I never knew there were different types..you almost always only see Osaka style in media. In fact if you go to the wikipedia page for Okonomiyaki it mentions that it's the predominant variant seen throughout most of Japan.
Okonomiyaki.... healthy... yeah... about that. Still my favourite recipe! Spent 3 years mastering it. This recipe is very authentic and excellently presented (except for the lack of red ginger, as that one is essential).
The flipping technique reminds me how we flip "tortilla de patata" in Spain. One risk is the plate to slip when you flip. The secret is to choose a plate slightly smaller than that pan. Great recipe as always!
I think probably this technique is inspired by western dishes like that! Okonomiyaki is traditionally cooked on a large metal grill that gets very hot - but I think you need to flip when using a frying pan at home.
It was so much fun cooking and boxing with you Ryosuke! Looking forward to making another unhealthy dish with you!
Risottoro, are you planning to learn how to make tasty food to hide poison in Chris' food?
If you can’t beat Ryoske you’ll never overtake Chris. All I can say is I’m disappointed.
Cool colabs
Looking forward to another video.
It was so cool you were on the video.
The awkward moment when Champs Kitchen has more subs than Ryotaro in a quarter of the time 😂
(I'd better watch out).
The Okonomiyaki looked absurdly good!
This was a lot more tame of a roast on Ryotaro than I was expecting from you haha.
Based Chris
Damn Chris def not holding back when it comes to Ryotaro hahaha
Chris cooking when?
I want to see Chris cooking too!
Big thank you to Ryotaro for helping me celebrate reaching over 130,000 subscribers (although it was still around 120,000 when we filmed this video!) Sorry about the knock-out though!
Thank YOU so much! Because of you I'm able to cook delicious food easily without a problem, it is truly amazing.
Can you make an Omurice next, please?! I love omurice, but want to see your way of making it!
It's ok apology accepted 🙂☺️
Glad you knocked him out in the end 🤣. Your laid back and friendly attitude easily explains why you made that 120k in third of the time. Keep the mood up champ!
2 days after the video was released 140000 subscribers
Ryotaro knows Champ?! Alright, when is the Abroad in Japan collab coming?
Maybe I have to make my version of fami-chicken before he will join me in the kitchen
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen HAHAHAHA
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen lmao
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen That's actually not a bad Idea. I'd definitely watch that.
Edit: Chris doesn't even have to help cooking, it's enough if he tries it.
Next dish is ....
Grilled "Abroad in Japan"
まあ煮ても焼いても食えないと思うけど
Tough bird likes KARA-AGE fried chicken
As a substitute for the yam I've landed on a combination of tapioca flour, which has a lot of mucilaginous fiber which is what makes the yam so slimey, baking powder, to replace the air that's added when you grate it, and a bit more water to make sure the batter isn't too dry
I'm amazed that you managed to say Worcestershire sauce way better than most Americans. Congrats on the 130k (Nearly 140k).
Not only Americans. Nearly everybody outside the UK struggles with the pronounciation.
It's very noticeable for Americans cos of their hard R's and habit to say shy-er instead of shu-h
@@Piddemannen Ok, I get it. Americans are second to none. Even their pronounciation is worse than anybody elses. 🤣
I know right? I remember my 5th grade teacher way back when tried correcting me when i was right. She would go. " No.. it's Wershershersher" .. lol
At some point, I just call it woozy sauce.
Hey Champ, I recommend adding potato starch if you don't have Nagaimo. Around 20% potato starch and 80% flour is good!
Love it! I thought it would be complicated to make a Okonomiyaki, but you make it looks easy!
It's really simple right? And quite healthy!
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen Yeah! I really like the part that you make adjustment to make it more healthier. It makes me being able to eat delicious food meanwhile losing body fat 😆
This always makes my day. Congratulations on the subs. And glad to see Ryotaro stick around to help clean dishes.
The worst part of cooking is washing the dishes
Heck yeah, my Mum used to always make this for me growing up. congrats on the 130k!
I lost it when you clobbered Ryotaro. Now, it is time for Abroad in a Pan. Seriously, CONGRATULATIONS!
I've had this once at a Japanese shop here in the Netherlands and it was sooooo good and I'm totally in love with the taste! Definitely going to make this!
Also, Ryotaro seems to be everywhere! XD
In what city did you get it? Really want to try it as well :D
@@Delithran Breda. Look up KOI Kanpai
There’s also a teppanyaki place in Amstelveen that does seriously good Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki, both in Osaka style and Hiroshima style. Look up Ichii Amstelveen. 👍
@@The_Joestar dankjewel
Wow it's so great to see Ryotaro!
I just tried okonomiyaki with my wife and son last week. It was so good! Can't wait to use this recipe to start making it at home. Thanks!

Oh dang Ryotaro invaded another channel. Also I'm so excited to try this recipe. Okonomiyaki is my favorite Japanese food!
My 6 year old son loves watching your videos with me. He is a picky eater but I've got him to try some of the Japanese dishes I've made at home.
Okonomiyaki isn’t that popular outside Japan but it is one of my favorite dishes of all time! I hope more people try it!
i wish it was so that more Japanese restaurants would sell it!
Loved how Ryotaro matched your energy, going to give him a subscribe as well. I love okonomyaki
This was my favorite episode so far! I can see the effort you both put into this. Thank you for being so much fun to watch :)
I love this channel so much. He just talks like your best friend cooking with you in the kitchen.
I love watching the end washing the dishes scene. It is so calming :)
Wholesome episode to celebrate 130k subscribers- CONGRATULATIONS!
You're the best!!! Keep making wonderful videos!
I love all the healthy recipes on this Channel. They look very tasty too! But my favorite part of all the videos is the end where Champ washes dishes after the meal. It feels therapeutic. Calm.
Osaka style is great, but I really love Hiroshima style with the noodles. Delicious!
Champ knockin it out of the park again! Absolutely amazing looking as always! Can't wait to try it at home.

Looks like Ryotaro forgot he was Japanese there for a moment.
The moment I've been wating for!
My absolute favourite Japanese dish! The first thing I ever ate when moving into Hiroshima!
That uppercut! Damn 😂
This time I made Osaka style but I definitely want to make Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki in the future!
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen I prefer Osaka-style, but SHHHH 🤫 don't tell my neighbours 😂

Yaaaaaaaayyyy! Thx Champ! This is the one I wanted! BTW thanks for knocking rotary out...it was very satisfying...lol
The ending scene is just wholesome
Heres to 120M subs!
These two chefs exude the same chaotic energy and I love it
I'm just eating this now after trying to make it for the first time. It turned our all right I think. I'm full, but I can't stop eating, it is just so good.

It is so great to see another one of my favorite dish from the champ! Time to get back in the kitchen.
I didn’t even know Ryotaro had a youtube channel lol, subscribed now
I usually use a premade flour mix, coleslaw mix (so there is also little strings of carrot and some red cabbage), and I like to cut up bacon to stir into the batter as well.
Ryosuke is such a great guy... at this point I just watch his videos because I feel so at home he deserves so much more attention best cooking channel on youtube
No way!!! My 2 fave Japanese content creators in one video!! Domo!!
This is gold. No other cooking channel is this pumped XD
This looks AMAZING! Cannot wait to try it!
I just love your channel. You present your recipes in a way that makes them so simple and easy to follow.
Thank you Champ!!!
Very fun collaboration! Your videos and cooking always make me smile

Congratulations Chef! And thank you for inviting Ryotaro as a guest sous chef on your channel. Keep up the great cooking videos.
Perhaps my most favorite Japanese cuisine dish! Glad to see this made!
I put Bonito flakes 10 times more on top and it's... *chef kiss* ❤
Thank you for teaching me how to cut cabbage. Genius!❤
I prefer Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, but all of it is good. Every style, every topping - it's just out of control how delicious a dish it is. God bless Japanese comfort food!

By far your best video on the channel yet!! Loved it!!
Good luck champ, some day you will celebrate a million!
This is amazing. I love this video 🤩 keep up the great work. BOTH of you!
Always a happy day when champ puts out a new video.
Hahaha Ryotaro! This channel just keeps getting better and better.
Genuinely fun video, Ryotaro's questions where actually a lot of questions I had while watching it, so it cleared a lot of doubts
after I watched your first video, without even finishing it haha! I subscribed right away!! I ended up watching all your videos in just 1 day. Now I'm heading to the grocery to try the recipes
Thank you so much! I requested it! you're the best!
Your channel is gonna be big man, love watching you cook
Ryotaro is in everything! Great video!
Congratulations on over 130,000 subscribers! I have never tried okonomiyaki but it looks delicious so I will be making it for dinner tonight!
You are a lot of fun and super informative! Thank you sir!
What an Incredible team up.
This made my day.
The secret ingredient is fun.
Thank you guys! That was great and entertaining. I’m goin to round up supplies this weekend.
Nice recipe and great job!! Congratulations for this amazing channel!! Keep going, I can't wait for the next video!
This was such a wholesome wonderful episode
Can't wait to try this at home! By far one of my favorite cooking channels on RUclips
This will really help me for my new part time job tomorrow!!

Yay champ! I requested this one in your last vid! I’m so excited to make this thank youuuuu
I'd never thought to put kirimochi in okonomiyaki. Thank you, Champ! I'll have to try that.
I wish these were more frequent!! love your videos and God bless you
Tried it today. I've made some before but this recipe is better. Note if you don't have rice cake and yam make sure to add more flour mixture.
More collabs! This was awesome!! Maybe shabu shabu next??
Chef you have found your nemesis Ryotaro's Japan ! That was really fun watching the video. I can't wait for the next.
Great to see Ryotaro; amazing video - as always😜👍
