It seems that with Japan being so formal, especially in this sort of interaction she had with the chef, there are very predictable things that they are going to say to eachother. For whatever reason in an everyday conversation, you will hear very similar things talked about, in a very familiar manner. I think its rooted around tradition but I'm not very sure. This was one of the big things I noticed when visiting Japan.
Ive been told that I sound a lot nicer when I'm speaking Japanese, even if it's informal. I think it has something to do with honorifics and respect. Like you know when someone is speaking in a ride way because it sounds so much more harsh.
A lot of how words are differentiated is based on pitch. Think about the difference between like present and present, as in a gift and the act of showing something. That shape of the word is important to Japanese and one of the trickier things for people who are learning it as a second language. Using a wider range of pitch helps make it clear what's being said. There's also a massive spectrum as far as formality is concerned, and you can say pretty much anything in a few syllables or a giant fucking paragraph. Also most of the other replies to you I see here range from a little wrong to just plain stupid, so take them with a grain of salt.
@@colh.3779 that's the most mature response I've seen from one of her fans here. I don't mind her but there's definitely some outspoken white knights out there.
@@Balloon410 I think it's important to let people have their opinions! But I definitely see what you mean lol- RUclips comments in general can be filled with toxicity, I'm just trynna stay positive!
It's kind of off putting how over the top it is. "uuuuwaaaa, suburashiiiiiiiiiiii". It's like I'm watching an anime aimed at preschoolers. "suuuuuteeeeeki deeeeesuuuuu neeeeeee :OOOOO"
Can't quite say how much I enjoy this show. Love Reina and how she interacts with the guests and the overall pleasantness of each of the episodes thus far!
OMG, whoever does the animations is amazing. That short explanation of KFC in Japan was great. And that whole conversation with Adam *chef's kiss* I love how much I look forward to the next episode.
Really loving this series. I knew Reina from when she was on SourceFed -- looking forward to when the producers figure out her fear of water and have her diving for tuna :D Seriously though, she's such a charming host and her ability to speak fluent Japanese is a huge plus. Adam's such a chill guy and was very eloquent with how he described Japanese-style frying; it really emphasizes the subtlety of the technique and making the food taste delicate despite being cooked in grease. Good stuff. Chef Yokota's such a pleasant fellow and him using his French training to elevate what he described as "common food" is pretty cool.
The way Chef Yokota smiles to himself as he is cooking-- that made me so happy. He takes so much pride in his work, he's glowing. I love him! Like at 3:17.
6:06 I love how he said “恐縮です”. It’s a very formal way of saying thank you, almost akin to an old-timey “you’re too kind” in English. Pretty much my favorite word/phrase in Japanese.
I have been a fan of Reina for the better part of a decade. This is the perfect vehicle for her and for exposing the general public to Japanese CUISINE. You could not have chosen a better, more charming, or gratius host. Not to mention that she is so smart & talented.... and poised.... and ever so adorable\lovable! I am committed to every episode! Reina Rules Yo!
I need a million episodes in this series. I've been a fan of Sourcefed and Hot Ones from their respective beginnings and I have enjoyed every second of Gochi Gang. Reina is the best. This show has done an amazing job so far showing the different styles and ingredients in Japanese cooking, with some fantastic guests as well. I want more episodes and I hope you sign for a second season of this.
@@h3c133 thank god i live in Kansas on 5 acres of land in a 3 story 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom house with double car garage with a pond in my back yard and a lake 2 miles away and a 8 minute commute to work. Living is so cheap with a nice aerospace job, i just overnight food to my house from any where in america or take a lot of vacations with the money i saving here. Hussle is fun in big cities for about 4 days then back to space full of peace and quiet.
This man was an absolute legend to me as a kid, I wanted to be a competitive eater- and I grew up in Japan(the food is the absolute best)! I still could be a Competitive Eater, I think 😏
Tempura Master treats the humble asparagus spear with equal respect and passion as he does with prestigious scallop. It speaks to the cultural attention of doing the absolute best possible work regardless of the job at hand. So deeply impressive.
For three years of my life, I lived right across the street from the best Japanese tempura shop in North Carolina. It was owned by a little old couple with a million grandchildren. They grew many of their own vegetables and probably made no money because of the market. But I ate there five times a week. Maybe more. I lived on vegetable and shrimp tempura. I loved every bite. I will treasure those memories. I hope they're still around and still frying!
Oh my god I hope they play that cute music she uses in all her videos. Or at least every time she says "delicious" in Japanese it pops up in cartoon characters on screen heh :P
I love seeing Reina getting her props. She is an excellent host and makes me love the Japanese culture even more. I'd actually like it if in a video she would comment on some of the repeated phrasings that are used in the culture. The Japanese language is dope!
This is the kind of RUclips videos I just love. It's shows how TV is dying when you get such great production value like this. I honestly forgot I was watching on RUclips. Great work guys, keep it up! Now I want some katsu!
This show is too good. Great job guys! Really doing your own thing with your own vision and passion and it REALLY shows. We really needed this series. Thanks :)
It's not that unusual tbh. Most people who speak two or three very different languages sound completely different. Languages like japanese or french have a different intonnation, so your voice sounds higher. And esepcially japanese uses a lot of "bridge sounds" like ah, huh, mmm and so on I speak 4 languages and my voice goes higher or lower depending on the language.
I'm multilingual and do the same thing. I think that it is appropriate to use a language's accepted vocal range. That's my two cents worth as a nonnative English speaker. When in Rome...
First we Feast is becoming more awesome with Reina and this program...plus its always been awesome. Also whoever made the end credits, music and filter.....👌
I'd like to say "that's a prejudice" .... but it it's just true^^ Been over there twice now and pretty much everything looks like it was made just seconds ago. Even the snacks at those famous Kombini (convenience stores) are a league for themselves. Three food alone justifies a trip to Japan ^^
Love you Reina, loving the series so far! Makes me so hungry, I fall in-love with some of my favorites all over again, and learn about new things to try.
I love how expressive people are when speaking Japanese. So much more interesting than people speaking English and staring at each other dryly while the other person talks. You can even see a difference in Reina's demeanor when she's speaking English vs. Japanese, and she's generally cheery and expressive regardless.
I love this show, Reina looks like she's totally in her element (even though she's talked about how eating on camera poses a whole new set of challenges :3 ), the show is great! please never stop making it, the food looks incredible! :D
I know that Japanese people are passionate but the cooks and chefs sounds like they are born to cook and ready to die doing what they love feels more than passion and obssession combined. And I think it is beautiful
I really appreciate the quality of these videos you guys are putting out. It's so much better and more meaningful than anything Food Network or Travel Channel.
Something I love about Japanese culture/people is they are so happy when you try to emulate (respectfully, of course) their way of life, cultures, & traditions!
This entire series is such a fascinating look into Japanese cuisine. I love the refined, yet simple manner in which their meals are prepared. Currently living in Texas but hope to visit one day. Thanks First We Feast.
Reina Scully is an amazing hostess. She is so funny and enthusiastic, full of historical info, and possibly a living anime women. I love every episode she has hosted. More please. Thank You. :)
@@nom6758 Totally. I'll watch like 3 yt video, then head to the kitchen. Havingthe real Japanese ingredients from my local Asian market helps, but isn't essential for someone that just wants to cook and have fun. I prefer spice, so it's Japanese/Koreans fusions most of the time.
Chef Yokota-san is the true definition of "Love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life." His smile while he was cooking is infectious. He truly loves cooking and making food for people.
Reina really seems to enjoy conversing in Japanese...whether it's with a Japanese chef or Adam Richman. The words and the body language are really interesting...and fun to hear and see. Reina is such an enthusiastic host...thank you!

Love how Adam described the perfect fried food to not be greasy! There’s def a misconception that all fried food = heavy/greasy, but if done a certain way, can be light and balanced.
Is it just me or is Reina one of the best people that you can dine with anywhere? I'd be honored to dine with her anytime, especially with Japanese cuisine.
Love the Gochi Gang!!! It’s my new RUclips obsession and I’m so sad there aren’t 17 seasons of it to binge - but so looking forward to everything coming!!! 🥰
What is your favorite Japanese food? Let us know what the #GochiGang should eat next.
Omakase sushi from Sushi Nakazawa!
Chicken katsu with curry, with yakitori close behind.
Unadon. Absolutely delicious.
Mochi for sure.
This is great but background music is over the top
This dude smiles while he cooks. That’s how you know he truly loves what he does!
Yeah he seemed to really enjoy himself
I notice that as well. He was just so happy to be cooking for someone. He was is such bliss.
I came to the comments section to say the exact same thing!
he has to be a great guy!
And theres only 8 seats at his shop. He wants to do it all himself without getting swamped so he can enjoy it.
“I personally want to eat tempura all the time.”
I’ve never heard truer words. ❤️
I love how her voice and rhythm changes when she speaks Japanese.

My man in the beginning straight up loves what he does for a living. He radiates good vibes. Made me feel happy for him.
The interaction between the host and the tempura chef was the most Japanese thing I've ever seen
Lots of respectful little bows, so wholesome
So you havent seen the meowscular chef
It's kind of off putting how over the top it is. "uuuuwaaaa, suburashiiiiiiiiiiii". It's like I'm watching an anime aimed at preschoolers. "suuuuuteeeeeki deeeeesuuuuu neeeeeee :OOOOO"
I love Adam. Really miss Man vs Food
Same here :)
John Barton me tooooo! It made me kind of ill to watch sometimes but in the best way! He’s my favorite!!!
Seeing him smile when he was rolling around that asparagus in flour was so fucking pure and the best thing I’ve seen all year
It's great for any chef to hear such high praise from anyone. It's nice to know that their food is appreciated.
Can't quite say how much I enjoy this show. Love Reina and how she interacts with the guests and the overall pleasantness of each of the episodes thus far!

Everything about this show is just so adorable!
Sonni de Soto
Yes!!! The kawaii animations just kill me! 😄🥰
Seeing reina speak with the first chef was so refreshing! Their conversation was very positive :)
The way Chef Yokota smiles to himself as he is cooking-- that made me so happy. He takes so much pride in his work, he's glowing. I love him! Like at 3:17.
Just checking in to see if they ever picked up Denzel after leaving him last ep
Some say he's still drawing to this day
Nah they said he can’t leave til he’s done with his manga 😂
Her skills as an interviewer are very good. I played this video because of my love of Adam but but I'm on board now. Get it girl.
Love love love seeing Reina have this series. Please keep it up! I never knew I'd be so interested in Japanese food!

One thing I love about the Japanese culture is just the amount of respect and kindness they give to one another, just warms your heart!
As a Japanese Culture addict I just want to thank First with Feast from bringing Gochi Gang to us! Thank you Team. Much love. :)
This man was an absolute legend to me as a kid, I wanted to be a competitive eater- and I grew up in Japan(the food is the absolute best)! I still could be a Competitive Eater, I think 😏
I believe in you. Do ettt
Adam and not Kobayashi?
Holy crap. If I ever got a thank you from Reina, I would just melt. She somehow thanks with so much emotion. It moved me.

"THE FIRST WE FEAST FANS ARE NOT READY, FOR ASUKA/KANA-CHAN!"
THICCUS MAXIMUS is it coming on a future episode for asuka or is it already there on RUclips to watch? Just curious?

Reina's Japanese mode of speaking and English mode are so different beyond the language itself, it's freaky
It's not that unusual tbh. Most people who speak two or three very different languages sound completely different. Languages like japanese or french have a different intonnation, so your voice sounds higher. And esepcially japanese uses a lot of "bridge sounds" like ah, huh, mmm and so on
I speak 4 languages and my voice goes higher or lower depending on the language.
I love how Reina can just turn the overly excited japanese expression on and off when she switches languages 😂
truly a master
Reina: speaks Japanese
My heart: melts
Why does the music make me feel like I'm playing a visual novel?
Alombary I’d say it’s like an RPG loading screen🤔
It's amazing how Reina's entirely inflection changes when she changes languages. So interesting!
I remember seeing something years ago about how your personality can change depending on what language you're speaking, pretty interesting
I'm multilingual and do the same thing. I think that it is appropriate to use a language's accepted vocal range. That's my two cents worth as a nonnative English speaker. When in Rome...
Not really
This show is so well made. Hats off to First We Feast for producing another great show.
First we Feast is becoming more awesome with Reina and this program...plus its always been awesome. Also whoever made the end credits, music and filter.....👌
Find someone that looks at you the way Reina looks at Adam at 14:47 😭
MASSIVE FACTS
just that look when she wants to swallow you
if you have the money and the fame most women will look at you like that.. its in their DNA to seek fortune and fame.
Shout-out to Reina. I didn't even know she got this gig. 👏👏
Japan makes every food look look so healthy. Even fried food
I'd like to say "that's a prejudice" .... but it it's just true^^
