If you were curious to know, the bird in the koi pond at the temple is a Grey Heron, Ardea cinerea. It's very closely related to the Great Blue Herons you see in the USA, the only real difference is the color of the flanks, I believe. I slowed down the video and I could see a lot of contrast between the flight feathers and the rest of the wing, the only other possible large heron like that would be a Purple Heron which wouldn't have the strong contrast. In Japanese it would be アオサギ or Aosagi :)
So many humor filled gems. Google trying to kill him, nearly drops cake, and will legit eat it off the footpath, strawberry illuminati and singing the circle of life while watching a beautiful flying fish. Your food tours are a journey sweet lad. Bless and thank you so much for taking us along.👍😙😊
“I will do anything for food” “This sign literally has my life philosophy” “I...didn’t know I was tall enough to hit a live wire...” Dude, man, you’re so awesome/
Believe me, especially on morning Shinkansen, a few Japanese businessmen uncles are really tripping about minuscule noise. Couple of times I had to eat my breakfast breads on the bullet train, which are wrapped individually in plastic of course, this businessman sitting in front of me got up and turned around and gave me a look. I just ignored him.
I was gonna respond but the three before already said it, pretty sad that there is a mass understanding of all the people who want these things here that we can't have nice things like this because of the douches who would disrespect it.
The culture is ingrained that you don't disrespect other propertty. Even organized crime rings will murder their own if one attempts petty theft or vandalism. It just isn't tolerated.
Mikey you know what i absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE! about your channels? you don't hit the 10 minute mark and then stop. you actually give us quality content and don't cut it short just because you hit the required 10 minutes for monetization. I'll always be a fan of your channels because you keep it real. keep up the good work and the good eats!
The name of the pastry you sampled that looked like a pita pocket is actually called a Dorayaki which is typically stuffed with azuki or red bean paste but the one you tried had added cream and strawberry which looked delicious! Fun fact: Dorayaki was also the reason why Doraemon was called Doraemon (he loved the stuff)
i've been craving egg salad lately, for some reason, but i'm just too lazy to make it.... lol! anyway, thank you for letting me enjoy yours vicariously! you're awesome!
What a great video! Loved everything in it, esp. the Mom & Pop place! Lucky you! Thanks for sharing your experiences with everyone, you're just a nice guy, too! lol :)
You looked as cute as a dumpling when you tried the bean candy and opened your eyes. I laughed when you ate the cake with the paper and when you broke the fork-knife. Hilarious!
Just wanted you to know that your videos are my favourite on RUclips EVER.I have terminal Cancer and decided to travel whilst I can,I'm taking my little boy to Tokyo,and I have found your videos so,so interesting and very informative.Thank you so much,love from England 😘
Arrrrgh...I SO need to go to Japan!!!! I never had a bucket list until I found RUclips international vloggers. Every day, I fall in love a little bit more with Japan's culture, people and FOOD! Watching Mikey in the throes of foodgasms seals the deal. What organ can I sell that will get me to Japan??
Japan is so modern compared to anywhere else... they sure take pride in everything they do. My dream vacation one day have enough money for food and travel.
What I like about Japan is usually the best food comes from those small stalls/restaurant/front of house types. So whenever I travel there I go out of my way to go to the small streets to find these wonders.
Many hearts & minds will never be the same as you have inspired others to over come and blaze a new light into the many souls of the world, who will challenge themselves more after being properly motivated by you.
Hi Mikey now the day gets better Happy Saturday another great one enjoyed as always appreciated till the next video have yourself a wonderful day today all day long God bless you always 👋 bye. 🍴🍓🍓🍓
Haha, it's pretty good timing that you just posted this video - I'm actually moving to Nagasaki in August, so I'll definitely be watching this video again to get the name of the champon eatery.
well yeah in a lot of things but things like usage of tons of plastic and movie rentel is still a thing in japan they also like to let the car engine run while they wait/sleep in the car ^^'
Hey Mike! Love that waygu ekiben & the croissants. The fry rice looked super delicious, not dried out or too mushy but just right! Nagasaki Japan truly is beautiful & so peaceful, adding another city to my bucket list. Oh! Almost lost your castella! Great day trip thnx for the video! Love...
The cakes looked like the ones which we can get here (Australia) in Chinese restaurants for Yum Cha. They are incredibly delicious! Thank you for the video!
Hey Mikey. Even Japanese barely explore food culture in countryside with that much depth. Enjoyed the video pretty much and hope your trip in Japan will be wonderful. Safe trip!
Quote ' I didn't know I was tall enough to be electrocuted'.... And almost had heart failure when you dropped your cake. We love you Sooo much Mikey👍👍👍
Mikey, I'm pretty sure you won't be the last not to realise that Fukusaya castella cake has a layer of paper underneath it only when you put it in your mouth (I know I did that the first time too). Still one of the most amazing cakes I've ever eaten. I tried a couple of other brands but they paled in comparison. Fukusaya have been making them the same way since the 17th Century, so I think they've got it perfected.
The strawberry pastry looked so good ❤ I need to try a bento box. They look so interesting. I love Japanese architectural and landscape. Thank you for sharing this with us ❤
Hi Mikey thanks for coming to the town I have been living in the past year. I also lived in fukuoka for 2 years. Your finding some good places to eat from what I see but if you come to west Japan again you should let some of us know and we can point out some spots that tourists don't know
Nagasaki Wagyu A5 Beef won the Wagyu Olympic in 2012. Their Wagyu is literaly one of the best of the world. Been there, tried those ramen and beef. Heaven on us for real :D
Hi from Japan! There are so many Chinese restaurants in your territory in NYC and there must be tons of plates of great fried rice (we call it Chaahan, in Kanji charactor 炒飯) but you are still saying that the fried rice cooked by Oto-san (papa) is the best fried rice you had ever. So glad you'vebeen discovering the nice stuff of Japanese. Hope I could meet you and introduce some more things to eat in Japan!
Hi, Mike!!I can't believe you are in Fukuoka!! I wish I knew you were coming!! This city offers so many variety of foods like you would not believe. Should you have the opportunity to come back, please look me up, and I will be more than happy to show you around!!
Justify Speaks. I just randomly googled airfares from MNL to NRT for September and I found airfares as cheap as 184 USD RT on Cebu Pacific, 231USD on Jetstar and 342 USD on PAL. You guys are lucky you live closely to Japan and have a lot of LLC airlines to choose from. I'd be happy if I can pay these kind of airfares
Finally someone put chanpon on spotlight. I’ve seen westerners dislike it I don’t know why but I almost prefer it over ramen. If anyon live in Saratoga CA area there is ringerhut Nagasaki chanpon chain store. It’s real good try them.
To the rice in most countries mono sodium glutamate aka "msg " isn't taboo the msg binds to your glutamate receptors in your brain enhancing flavor in the U.S. the use of this substance is considered "cheating" in cooking but it's a wonderful tool in your cooking arsenal. #cheflife
Oh boy, Nagasaki champon and fried rice :D Tried it at a Ringer Hut in Kyoto on my last night in Japan, it was very nice and a totally new experience. Though I'm pretty sure the mom and pop shops in Nagasaki make it better than the chain.

"I decided to go on a food trip"
Isn't your life a food trip
😆true
A good one at that. Mmmm
The person next to Mikey in the train is probably thinking "Jesus this Jackie Chan can sure eat"
Menanoid lol
Nope. Look up 濱田岳 (Hamada Gaku).
ROFLOL
Nope careful mike doesnt like being called jackie chan
Hahaha
Everyone gets a bento box..then there's Mikey with a bento bag😁😁
Mike is way prepared when it comes to food.
Well everyone got a suitcase full of clothes...and there is mike with his suitcase full of instant ramen
*slaps roof of Mike Chen*
This bad boy can fit so much hot oil.
Cloud Strife is that a meme I see ? Up you go
Thicc
is this loss?
HAHAHA
xDD

Thanks a lot buddy! You an enthusiast or work in the field?
Older lady sitting by Mike, on train, must be thinking "Wow, this boy can eat!"
Bob The Buider or probably “he better not record me” lol
She knows who to feed next.
Only in japan something so common as an egg sandwich seems like an epic present
So many humor filled gems. Google trying to kill him, nearly drops cake, and will legit eat it off the footpath, strawberry illuminati and singing the circle of life while watching a beautiful flying fish. Your food tours are a journey sweet lad. Bless and thank you so much for taking us along.👍😙😊
Don’t forget the layer of twenties over a bunch of ones!!!
I recognized the noodle and rice shop in Nagasaki from two other Japan/foodie videos. I want to go there some day.
“I will do anything for food”
“This sign literally has my life philosophy”
“I...didn’t know I was tall enough to hit a live wire...”
Dude, man, you’re so awesome/
I can’t imagine what it’s like to still have to record with a stranger right next to you , props to you Mikey 😂

peko peko isnt that because they work 100hrs a week? They are so tired they prefer quietness
Because talking loudly on trains and buses are frowned upon and is considered rude in japanese culture.
I would love love love to see you more in Japan & eat everything there! Mikey & Japan is a match made in heaven!
"It's a knork!...... I broke the knork. :("
Oh Mike. Thanks for taking us along your food adventures!
As soon as Mike bit into that dessert every phone within a mile radius started to ring.😂😂😂😂 2:21
Long Wang ikr lol
its the train entering station sounds
Challenge: Eat a serving of broccoli.
dmme his hate for brocolli is real lol
dmme we need a kickstarter fund to make him eat a bowl of broccoli without making a face.
i *love* that they have vending machines all over the place in Japan. hot and cold...it's so awesome! we need that here in the US!
they'll probably get vandalized
peko peko no they'll get stolen especially in back allys
I was gonna respond but the three before already said it, pretty sad that there is a mass understanding of all the people who want these things here that we can't have nice things like this because of the douches who would disrespect it.
The culture is ingrained that you don't disrespect other propertty. Even organized crime rings will murder their own if one attempts petty theft or vandalism. It just isn't tolerated.
If the laws were stricter, things would be different.
"IT'S A KNORK!" LMAO! When you dipped the fried rice into the pork bone broth....OMG.....my mouth literally watered!
I'm very happy he is enjoying NAGASAKI so much.
Mikey you know what i absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE! about your channels? you don't hit the 10 minute mark and then stop. you actually give us quality content and don't cut it short just because you hit the required 10 minutes for monetization. I'll always be a fan of your channels because you keep it real. keep up the good work and the good eats!
Of course there's a nice and clean vending machine in the dodgiest-looking back alley in Japan
In the US there wouldn't even be a vending machine, maybe some rats to greet you :D
What even is that username?
@@zeltech-alpha Divide and Conquer is the username
@@bananya6020 poor, innocent child, there is history you do not know.

普通の日本人以上に美味しいものをいっぱい食べていますね。羨ましい〜〜です！ハハハ
普通の日本人としてこのビデオを長崎旅行の参考にさせてもらいます。ありがとう！
同じくフィリピン人なのに。彼の方が私よりいっぱいフィリピン料理食べました❗羨ましい

My heart almost dropped when the Castella cake almost fell to the ground 😂😂
Mikey, I’m taking care of a family member with Alzheimer’s. I don’t get to travel like I’d love to do, so I love watching your travel/food channel!
mom and pop places are great and anything stirfried in lard is great
Japan is so modern compared to anywhere else... they sure take pride in everything they do. My dream vacation one day have enough money for food and travel.
The Pizza La, gets me.
It's pretty decent. I recommend eating there at least once when in Japan.
Amy Sternheim its because people in singapore say la alot
What I like about Japan is usually the best food comes from those small stalls/restaurant/front of house types. So whenever I travel there I go out of my way to go to the small streets to find these wonders.
"yup i just ate paper" genuine lol moment, keep up the awesome content jacki... i mean mikey ;)
Whenever I see a clip of you on a train in japan, it reminds me of the movie train to busan
I flinched to catch that cake lol like an instinctual reaction to stop food from hitting the ground
Hahahaahaha 17:43 that look after the “paperdiscovery” is gold!
"Think my food circuits are being fried a little bit" 🤣 That cracked me up!
Japan is one of my (few) favorite places 😍 Thanks for the video! Safe travels!
Many hearts & minds will never be the same as you have inspired others to over come and blaze a new light into the many souls of the world, who will challenge themselves more after being properly motivated by you.
I just love watching Mike eat. It makes you want to eat too
Hello Mike Chen, im a Filipina, a fan. I just mentioned you in one of my mukbang 💕
Hi 👋🏽 from Singapore 🇸🇬.
You literally put a smile 😊 on my face when you said Pizza-La 🍕
Hi Mikey now the day gets better Happy Saturday another great one enjoyed as always appreciated till the next video have yourself a wonderful day today all day long God bless you always 👋 bye. 🍴🍓🍓🍓
Athea Nicholls
Specialy Marc Wiens hasn't upload any thing yet 😉
Safe travels Mikey, nice to see so many things I recognize!
I'm a simple Asian boy. I see rice in the title, I click. I see Mike, I click.
Nathan Widjaja 😂 i see rice. I click like
Haha, it's pretty good timing that you just posted this video - I'm actually moving to Nagasaki in August, so I'll definitely be watching this video again to get the name of the champon eatery.
For most of the video I was just wondering what that woman who sat next to you on the train was thinking when she saw you eat all that food.
lumi me too
I would not want to follow him after a deuce. They would have to put up haz mat tape up.
That shrine is so pretty and serene. I would like to visit there one day :( but I don’t think I ever will
Japan is just too many steps ahead in food culture
Knorkrax Korean food best
In everything honestly lmao
well yeah in a lot of things but things like usage of tons of plastic and movie rentel is still a thing in japan
they also like to let the car engine run while they wait/sleep in the car ^^'
ahead as a society as a whole. the civility the respect are quite literally unmatched, not even by their other east asian counterparts
Headless Chicken you keep believing that. I like some Korean dishes, but as a whole, the best? Don't think so. Everyone has got their own preference.
Mikey as always i love your videos man. makes me wish i had explored more when i was younger.
Cool video Mikey Chen! Where's Jasmina? Is she still feeling the ghost pepper chip? You were like, let's go eat some pizza-la!!! 😆🤣🤘👊✌🍕🍕🍕
17:53 good looking guy alert! (in my opinion)
I was looking for this comment😋
Hey Mike! Love that waygu ekiben & the croissants. The fry rice looked super delicious, not dried out or too mushy but just right! Nagasaki Japan truly is beautiful & so peaceful, adding another city to my bucket list. Oh! Almost lost your castella! Great day trip thnx for the video! Love...
Love mentaiko and spaghetti. Egg salad sandos taste great with lettuce and sliced black olives.
Hello from Fukuoka 👋😀
👍 Food in Fukuoka and Nagasaki is delicious . Nagasaki fish dish is the best 😆👍🌟
Though I don't travel much but with your great vedios I feel like I'm there with you experiencing some awesome things
The cakes looked like the ones which we can get here (Australia) in Chinese restaurants for Yum Cha. They are incredibly delicious! Thank you for the video!
NO, they do not taste the same.
BrightBlue1111 Thank you for the update.
Hey Mikey. Even Japanese barely explore food culture in countryside with that much depth. Enjoyed the video pretty much and hope your trip in Japan will be wonderful. Safe trip!
i love japan food,its adorable
Love Nagasaki, one of my favourite cities in Japan.
Quote ' I didn't know I was tall enough to be electrocuted'.... And almost had heart failure when you dropped your cake. We love you Sooo much Mikey👍👍👍
And then Mikey dipped his fried rice into his soup🙌🏻 ...so me
my favorite is veggie fried rice and Tom kha gai chicken and shrimp soup
Mike is the ultimate chinese tourist, comes with the camera and everything.
So happy you uploaded mikey Thankyou!!
i think the best way to eat a mikey chen video is to watch food while you eat
I wish I could travel with Mikey! He knows how to do Japan right.
first time seeing your videos and I subscribed ...I went to Japan and nice memories and love your video..looking forward to more
Lets take a moment to appreciate the definition of japanese beauty at 14:23

Nagasaki Wagyu A5 Beef won the Wagyu Olympic in 2012. Their Wagyu is literaly one of the best of the world. Been there, tried those ramen and beef. Heaven on us for real :D
your killing me Mikey...spent a year in Okinawa...best fried rice ever...happy trails
Sees the steps and walks through the huge gate doors.

So glad you'vebeen discovering the nice stuff of Japanese. Hope I could meet you and introduce some more things to eat in Japan!
Some people here in Japan put vinegar on sara udon and a little karashi (Japanese yellow mustard).
1. Mike dipped his fried rice in the champon soup
2. Mike ate the wax paper on the bottom of the castella cakes
LOL
I like how Mike visits Japan every once and a while just to replenish his wet dreams for Ichiran.
Your train station scenes had my stomach hurting from laughing lol idk I'm stoned.
389,000 Irrelevant Ads Later And A Buncha Clicks I See MIKEEEEEE YEEEEEAAAAAAAAYYYY
Ahhhhh still japan. Your most fave country of all japan 🇯🇵 japan 🇯🇵 japan 🇯🇵 , the cleanest and most advanced in technology nation of all!!!!!!!!!
Wow what timing right when I finished binge watching Mikey!
Go to Italy next please! Would love to see you eat ravioli pasta pizza and more!!!
when Mikey almost dropped the cake, i never felt my eyes go that big
Hi, Mike!!I can't believe you are in Fukuoka!! I wish I knew you were coming!! This city offers so many variety of foods like you would not believe. Should you have the opportunity to come back, please look me up, and I will be more than happy to show you around!!
damn... when I went to korea... all I saw in the train station are coffee shops...
Justify Speaks ..Japan is world of its own
I will someday, once I got enough funds because the airfare is somehow costly from the Philippines.
Justify Speaks. I just randomly googled airfares from MNL to NRT for September and I found airfares as cheap as 184 USD RT on Cebu Pacific, 231USD on Jetstar and 342 USD on PAL.

I bet that is EDIYA Coffee hahaha

Japan is known for their high profile of flavor and umami wise :) depends where you go esp away from cities
Oh boy, Nagasaki champon and fried rice :D Tried it at a Ringer Hut in Kyoto on my last night in Japan, it was very nice and a totally new experience. Though I'm pretty sure the mom and pop shops in Nagasaki make it better than the chain.
I just woke up and I am very hungry, let’s watch mike eat food that I can’t have. 🙃🙃
Mik-ey che-wy butte-y cris-py jui-cy por-ky ginge-ry etc etc. Just love ur description mate. Makes me wanna eat asap especially non veg!! 😁😁😂😂
When you almost dropped that cake, my heart sank
Mike I did the exact same thing with the paper but didn't realise until the very end 😂😂 just thought it was a chewy base 😂
I LOVE fried rice!! That looked sooooooo good.
we love mikey chen
