    13:07 I'm with Lyssa. My favorite donuts have come from small shops rather than brand chains. If you gals could hunt down specialty donut shops in Japan -- the ones that really pride themselves on fine baking, not the ones that pride themselves on the _decorating_ of otherwise generic mass-market donut powder -- I would be taking notes.

    I'm vegan, so the plant based ラーメン at Ippudo was probably the most intriguing to me. Nice to see a cameo of Alyssa as well! I had no idea that Mister Donut was the predecessor to Dunkin Donuts, but I am not too into donuts personally, despite having previously worked as a chef at Donut Farm in Oakland (which is all vegan, but I wasn't making donuts there, so much as more savory food for brunches and such).

    • @khord
      @khord 3 месяца назад +3

      Mister Donut wasn't the predecessor, both companies were started by competing brothers-in-law. Later down the line, Dunkin's holding company acquired Mister Donut, so the US franchises became Dunkin.

  • @janusu
    @janusu 3 месяца назад +9

    Yay! Another chain restaurant episode!
    I think my favorite bread shop choice would be the mentaiko-pan. It's like a little baguette with butter and mentaiko spread on it. The mentaiko has a little spicy flavor, and there might be a little garlic on the bread, as well. There was also this kind-of chocolate croissant I used to get a lot. It was cone shaped with chocolate icing inside and a chocolate coating on the outside at the non-pointed end of the cone. I don't know what it was called.
    My understanding of the Mr Donuts vs Dunkin Donuts story is that they were brothers-in-law who each started donut chains and the Mr Donuts guy moved his operation to Japan to avoid competing with Dunkin.
    I couldn't say it was my favorite, but a huge ramen chain in the Kansai area was Osho. I went there fairly often and they were known for their ramen and gyoza. I think I tended to prefer the smaller individual ramen shops or smaller chains for the experience. But that's not a knock against Osho. It was pretty good.
    There is a grill-your-own yakiniku restaurant in my neighborhood called Gyu-Kaku, which I'm pretty sure is based in Japan. I go there with the Mrs. a few times a year.
    New review idea: Japanese konbini chains (7-11, Lawson, Family Mart, and throw in some smaller, more local chains, too maybe). It would be cool to see how they stand out from each other with specialties and seasonal offerings.
    Edit: Oh hang on, someone just mentioned a TC konbini episode in the comments. I guess I should go check that out...

  • @VincentImmortal
    @VincentImmortal 3 месяца назад +11

    Absolutely love bakeries in Japan. One of my favorites is Bakery & Cafe Yamazaki in Asakusa. I use them alternatively with konbini for breakfasts. Naruto Taiyaki was the first food place I headed when I landed back in Japan last fall. The imo tai was killer. Haven't managed to get into a Mister Donut (really want that hojicha kinako pon), Ippudo, or Yakiniku Like yet, but they're all on my list.

    I'm from the central valley in California. We have Krispy Kreme in a few places but if you want a donut your choices are the grocery store bakery, which is not great, or a small mom and pop shop. I have to agree with Alyssa that mom and pop shops are the best! There's nothing better than a buttermilk donut or a chocolate glazed chocolate cake donut with peanuts. Pair that with some cold milk or a hot coffee and its a perfect morning.

  • @nicktankard1244
    @nicktankard1244 3 месяца назад +6

    I wish we had those types of yakiniku places here in Canada. I usually eat alone and don’t like interacting with people much. So ordering on a tablet and cooking it yourself sounds perfect. And it looks delicious. But it would probably be 5 times more expensive here. Eating out in Canada has become insanely expensive.

    @silverian 3 месяца назад +3

    I remember Yakiniku place in Seoul. There was also same kind of option to fry your meat. Taiyaki is also familiar, because it was something we made in Japanese cooking lesson. There was special fish-shaped mold, which was used to make it.

    I'm in Tokyo at the moment. First time in japan. We had Ichiran yesterday and thanks to your previous video, knew what to do 😂. It will take some beating though. I chose mostly medium, but went spicy. It was incredible! I was a bit unsure given it's a chain, but I guess that's not such a bad thing here. My fairly fussy 11 year old had 2 bowls! Thanks for this video, looks like I'll be eating for most of the last 3 days we have here. I have been eating Melonpan, which is great, but will be tracking down currypan today for sure.

    Little Mermaid is a bakery from Hiroshima. Of course, the main store is in Hiroshima City and it's a store called Andersen. It's five stories high and famous as a bombed building. The following is an explanation of the building.
    It was completed in 1925 as the Mitsui Bank Hiroshima Branch, and merged in 1943 to become the Teikoku Bank Hiroshima Branch. In 1945, the building was exposed to an atomic bomb 360 meters from the hypocenter, and most of the modern building, which was built in a Renaissance style, collapsed, including the ceiling and walls, but the underground safe was intact. After continuing to operate as a bank, in 1967 the building was purchased by Takaki Bakery, renovated, and opened as Hiroshima Andersen. In 1978, the high-floor old building and new building were integrated by skillfully connecting them, and included a shopping floor with two basement floors and eight floors above ground, as well as restaurants and party venues. To cope with the deterioration of the building, it was renovated as a 5-story building in 2020.

    I was watching your video and you started at Little Mermaid Bakery which I never heard of. As you went through it I would swear you're eating at Andersen Bakery. When you held up your point card, I knew it was the same as Andersen! They are both connected. I've traveled to Japan over 50 times in the past 20 years and I love Andersen Bakery so much, I often plot my hotels around their different locations. Keep collecting the points!

    2) Krispy Kreme Donut
    3) Dunkin Donuts.

    I do agree that Japanese bread is very different from western bread: Japanese bread is usually soft, with no crust; it's similar to chewing gum.
    If you want to eat semi-decent bread in Japan, you are better off going to chains that imitate western bread or outright are not Japanese brands, like Paul, Dean & Deluca (which is still alive in Japan) or Maison Kayser, but these are going to be way more expensive.
    On the cheaper side of bread I would recommend Vie de France; it's nothing to write home about, but you get what you pay for.
    Then again, if you travel to Japan to eat bread you may have chosen the wrong travel destination to begin with.

    Mochi donuts are becoming popular here too! (US West Coast). There's even a chain, Mochi Nut. They have Mochi donuts, obviously, but they also have Korean hot dogs! There's one near me, and it's tempting not to go bc they're really good!

    American here and I have to agree with Lyssa. Mister Donut is okay and the Japanese flavors are good, but we are spoiled for donuts - it's just hard to compete with the local places.
