  • Ekiben, translated literally as Train Station Box Lunch, is a fun and delicious way to enjoy a train ride in Japan. Today we're taking you on a one-day trip from Tokyo to.....a really random place that ended up being a lot of fun! That's the thing about Japan. You can do the most mundane of things and still have fun!

    I cracked up when he mentions you can take the claypot home, and satoshi just says "YAAAY" in a low voice in the background

    For the price of the bento in a clay pot, here in French train stations you can get a miserable industrial sandwich. Ready to eat food in Japan looks so tasty, and way ealthier than what we find here. I might learn Japanese and go to Japan for a whilr just for the food xD

    • @janetKmiller
      @janetKmiller 7 лет назад +8

      Learn basic Japanese and go! It's easy to speak it badly (difficult to speak it well) and Japanese people are so kind and helpful. They will love your language effort and you will have an amazing time.

      Japanese and Korean cultures and foods are very very different, almost the exact opposite all the time.
      They are very different genetically too.

    @keeperofthegood 7 лет назад +69

    That clay pot is MILES and MILES better a container than plain Styrofoam or printed cardboard. I wish our nation (Canada) would pass laws that encouraged regionalized containers like those (and maintained that regionalism by not allowing companies to be bought or sold... used to have a great cottage industry of wine here, now it is almost all owned by one company and the real beauty has been lost). Not only beautiful but infinitely re-usable and a way to create artisan jobs and a reason to create pride in a population as well as create desire in other populations to come for a visit.

    • @GradenVeEvel
      @GradenVeEvel 7 лет назад +2

      Well Japan have been doing that kind of stuff for decades ever since the War end.
      Since it's their way to recover from the war and money.

    • @keeperofthegood
      @keeperofthegood 7 лет назад +7

      They have and have longer than that. It's a tradition-set that goes back a very long time. I think we can benefit from this idea that a destination is worth the trip because what is there is uniquely there.

    What a lovely video! You guys are _awesome_ hosts. This video brings back great memories of when my best friend and I visited Oginoya restaurant and Poppo town. While watching it I just remembered that we even hiked up that same trail! Sadly, my friend is no longer with us, but almost 20 years later, I still have my Oginoya Kamameshi bowls, (and the lids!) and use them practically every day. Thanks so much for bringing that wonderful day back so clearly! I'm going to watch all your other videos now! And I'm going to eat some sushi, because all that yummy stuff made me hungry.

    Greetings from Australia. Another very enjoyable video gentlemen. I must say that I quite like going on adventures with you guys and seeing the sites as well as the food.
    I have visited Japan quite a bit but because I can not read the kanji, I don't always make the best decisions for me or my wife. Your videos really help me know just what is available, so maybe next time she will think I am suddenly smart ;-] Well done to you both.

  • @artbecker5618
    @artbecker5618 7 лет назад

    I've been to Yokokawa a couple times, and had kamameshi bento both times. Yokokawa is where the helper locomotives used to be attached to trains from Tokyo, to get them over the steep mountain grades, through Usui Pass, to Nagano. When the Shinkansen was built to Nagano, there was no need for this section of the railroad anymore, so it was closed down. However, it was a great place for a railroad museum, since there was a lot of equipment there that was no longer needed, plus a lot of workers with railroad experience lived in the area. Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Takasaki, then a local train to Yokokawa. It's a great day trip, with the kamameshi bento as a wonderful bonus, and the clay pot as an excellent souvenir.
