Could you add the places you went on Happy Cow? I looked at the app and non of the places are listed! Honestly, the only vegan place in the intire prefecture that I can see is in the capital. Someone need to recorrect this. I want to make a video about the prefecture but I don't know where to go.
Chris and Connor complain about cycling across Japan only to stuff themselves with McDonalds, meanwhile Ryotaro runs everywhere with no problem while eating tasty local produce.
**NOTIFICATION SQUAD** I recently visited Hachinohe in Aomori, where Chris and I filmed a video called "Japanese nightlife" and saw people who appeared in the video and they all thanked us for many viewers actually went and visited them and it is now my turn to thank you!
1:49 translating Arigatō gozaimasu as “Cheers mate” totally caught me off guard 😂 you’ve been hanging around that troublesome Chris fellow too much I see! Edit: 1:57 omg “That’s well sweet bruv” SENT ME 🤣
Come for the fishless sushi and tomatoes, stay for the Ryotaro fitness grindset! Ah yes, putting chili crisp on your spaghetti...famous last words. I've been putting chili oil on everything ever since I started watching Mikey Chen. Sure it gives you a kick and not for the faint of heart, but it adds nice flavor to anything! The reason Kochi's tomatoes are extra sweet is because of a typhoon in the 1970s broke a dam near the city of Kochi and flooded a tomato farm with seawater (so that sound effect edit with the wave splash at 1:56 is fitting). The salty water reduced the tomatoes' ability to absorb water, making them smaller, denser, and much sweeter.
"Mohei, Gohei. Get It? Me neither, I just wanted free food" relatable 😂So the story of how gohei mochi became a thing is an interesting one. There are different theories for why (like created by someone named Gohei), but the most likely reason has to do with geography and Shintoism. It was invented in the Edo period and specifically comes from the area of Gifu and Nagano, and those places are quite mountainous and forested, where walnuts can be found and even hornet larvae for richer taste. Other ingredients like sugar and refined sake were added thanks to being on an important trade route connecting Kyoto and Edo via this region. But the ingredients of the Gohei mochi like refined sake were expensive or hard or cumbersome to come by for ordinary peasants, and so it wasn't eaten often and was more of an offering. Gohei mochi was shaped to resemble the Gohei or onbe, staffs with plaited paper streamers used in the Shinto religion. There is also a strong connection to the mountains, because the gods were believed to live there, and some of these sacrificial ceremonies were indeed held in the mountains.
That sushi looks amazing! I feel like if I ever make it to Japan, I’ll need several months to go everywhere to try all the amazing food. Thanks for another great video, Ryotaro!
Thank you so much Ryotaro for featuring this village! I know you love showcasing meat dishes on this show, but I appreciate that you went out of your way to do vegetables justice. I appreciate the effort! It is so hard to find vegan places in Japan and you featured so many options. Thank you again!
The Broad burn was good, but the subtitles were amazing!!! Great job, as usual, and you got plenty of speed running in it too, watch and learn cyclist Chris
This was a really pleasing video to watch. I've always loved traveling and since becoming vegan ~2 years ago I've always tried aiming for places that more naturally tended towards plant based foods and this seems almost exactly like one of those kinds of places, which says a lot considering it's Japan.
I wonder what Ryotaro-san would think about europeanized-sushi in the EU. Sushi has become really popular in country i am from (Poland) during the last 15 years, and in good restaurants one can find really creative things... but would a native Japanese like it? 🤔
I actually went to Izumi Sushi Biały Kamień in Warsaw and I quite liked the Polished styled Sushi not only how it tasted but also how you decorate the dish. I would love to visit there again.
me: It's fokin shite mate although i feel it's more to do with the freshness/availability of the ingredients. the chef can only do so much to 'recreate' sushi outside of Japan no matter how skilled they are.
The breed of the tomato helps it retain sugar levels, also the more ripe it is, the softer it is and the sweeter it is. Tomato's sweetness becomes sour and watery if chilled, meaning do not refrigerate and do consume in the form it is in. Not sure how cooking affects it's sugar level though. But if this variant of tomato can handle colder temperatures without turning the sugars into water (hence becoming sour) it can handle being refrigerated.
Damn, I just randomly saw your video pop up and now I'm all hungry for the food you ate! You make it look really tasty (maybe because it is really tasty :D) Thanks for sharing your fun
don't worry your italian was pretty good, now i wanna go and see if that pasta can compare to italian pasta. anway this was a great video, keep up the good work!!
I'm only halfway through the video, but the translated parts with the English slang/humor has me giggling! I effing LOVe tomatoes/pasta and the way the tomatoes sound -- holy moly I gotta go try it when I'm in Japan!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Reminds me of my favorite chirashizushiya in front of Hakuraku eki in Yokohama, back in the 90s. It’s probably gone now, but I used to order their mountain vegetable chirashi at least once every two weeks or so.
"you death?" 😆 I don't thats what he said but I'm fine with it. Also everything looks so delicious! Really amazing food in this episode. Also (2) that paper plate in the pasta restaurant is so cool!
07:07 I was just thinking about Sate that I was eating a week ago down here in my hometown in Indonesia when I first saw that Mohei Mochi. Ryotaro seems to have visited Indonesia too :> :>
my friends hometown is kotchi thanks this video will give me something to ask her about her home :) im not a fan of sushi because cold fish is something im just not used to but i would love to try inaka zushi
Check out the places I visited in the video!

You have really one of the best channels on RUclips. Love you and your content! 👍👍👍
Came expecting a Chris Broad insult. Got one within just 26 seconds. 10/10 would recommend.
I wonder if his fans will demand a RUclips video of his wedding. And I wonder if he'll upload one.

And lose my microphone
^"Im not buying you a new one" Is what I would like to say; random commentor
I knew I like risottoro for a reason.
Oh my gosh, I love how casual and silly your translations are.❤
if you ever experienced the work culture in japan you would think walking and cycling even just breathing was heaven
Subtitle writer needs a raise! Love your vids.
3:00 "Did I stutter?" I hope no one is trying to learn japanese with this video. lmao
"Bone apple teeth"
@@HappytreeLuis the subtitler is just sowing the seeds of chaos among language learners worldwide 😂
The subtitles are so good, hahaha
Blimey !

the subtitles :>>>>>>>> im dying of laughter

I love those jargony subtitles, it's such a fun way of translating the less-formal-Japanese. Bone apple teeth ^^
Bro your captions/subtitles are frigging hilarious! LOL 😂
Definitely my favourite Ryotaro video, keep up the good work.
Also that subtitler does need a raise, had me cackling.

These subtitles are killin me. Haha
Thanks for another great vid Ryotaro!
These subtitles are golden. Loved the video!!
Love the subtitles! "Did I stutter?"
we may have abroad in japan, but you are definitely the MAN OF JAPAN! great video!!!!
Italian Ryotaro isn't real, he can't hurt you
Italian Ryotaro: 3:31
Bro Ryotaro is so underrated way more people should be watching his videos great content
The Broad burn was good, but the subtitles were amazing!!! Great job, as usual, and you got plenty of speed running in it too, watch and learn cyclist Chris
Sounds like something straight out of April Jokes🤣🤣
I love it whenever Ryotaro throws shade at Chris.
Finally, authentic Japanese sushi I can actually try without compromising on just cucumber or avocado :D
Ryotaro's videos are getting cute, and i love it.

same goes for me too! This is the place I will go for my vegan needs 😅🥳
Remember that Japan has a decent amount of Buddhists so going to prefectures with large populations of them is also a way to get Vegan meals :)
sane im a vegetarian not a vegan so more leeway but 100%
@@kamikoto1558 i am curious if you have looked into why people going vegan instead of just vegetarian
I love the shots of ryotaro sprinting across places with a calm voice over
I know that you really enjoy meats and fish but thank you for making content that shows plant based food as well! ありがとうございました!!
It's Ryotaro! Our man in Japan, amazing video mate I love the subs XD
Nevermind the Inakazushi, I'd love to bite into one of those tomatos like it's a hand fruit
I love the vid and the gorgeous countryside! Inaka Japan has so many fun curious perspectives on traditional cuisine!
Love the British subtitles
This channel is a hidden jam! 😄
Interesting, that's definitely something i''d like to try! Bamboo shoots and mushrooms? Yum!
Ryotaro, I just started watching your channel. I do speak some Japanese, and your subtitles are hilarious and amazing.
Came for the veggie sushi, stayed and laughed so hard at the captions 😅
Looks delicious, thank you Ryotaro !
Translating "sugoi" as "blimey" made my day! 😊
Those epic subtitles though😂
Best captions ever.
Brilliant video ryotaro and find your content is a must watch in terms of Japanese content 🙌
Oh man, Did I stutter? Really made me laugh, I wasn't expecting it at all. Well done!
Food looked really good.
The translated subtitles cracked me up for this !
Funny and informative as always. The subtitles are hilarious🤣
I'm not sure who the genius is writing the captions, but I laughed right out loud at "Blimey!" for "Sugoi!"
Ikitai yo! I wanna go there. Hidaka tomatoes--the Wagyu beef of produce. They are on my bucket list.
Added this video to my 'places to visit' list, for when I'm able to make my first trip to Japan. 🙂
love this VIDEO!!!!
“Did I stutter??” 😂 I love the subtitles
Glad to see so many vegan dishes featured, I'll be sure to visit this part of Japan on my next trip 🙂
Right? Should be on every vegan visitor's itierary. And also just foodies in general.
that sushi and outta nowhere mochi looks amazing haha. now i wanna go to this place!

edit: the subtitles had me cracking up lmaooo
Better Than Broad! .. that is your new channel name.
Fantastic content...I wish the potential ninja delivered her mochi to the USA.
1:48 I bet Yuimetal would love those sweet tomatoes!🤘🦊🤘
RUNNING AWAY AT THE END OF EACH SCENE TRANSITION NEEDS TO BE RYOTARO'S SIGNATURE MOVIE IN VIDEOS. JUST SAYING. thank you for attending my TED Talk.
really cool to see food in Kochi and always nice to get a sense of new vegan dishes in Japan. Thanks!
the subtitles are the best!
Damn, I just randomly saw your video pop up and now I'm all hungry for the food you ate! You make it look really tasty (maybe because it is really tasty :D) Thanks for sharing your fun
I'm glad that knowing Chris has led to Ryotaro making videos, because Chris would never make videos about Japan like this.
I love your energy. Probably a bit tough to match for some of the people you have in your videos hahaha.
I love the "sarcastic" remarks added in captioning 3:04 . XD
Absolutely loved watching ❤️
Love the runs!
Yum! I love making inakazushi! Great video
And thus, my list of "to dos" in Japan keeps growing. Yoko-san seems to be a very sweet person, cheers!
I love this women making mohei mochi
don't worry your italian was pretty good, now i wanna go and see if that pasta can compare to italian pasta.
anway this was a great video, keep up the good work!!
Another great video Mr. Ryotaro 😀 Love the subtitles 🤣
Thank you Mr Slurpie, very cool as always
Ryotaro I love your videos and sushi without fish sound so new to me I've never heard of that before
Seems like my dream kind of sushi. No nasty seafood at all.
i love the subtitles. so funny
You should run more often towards your episode :) Loved it
In its case, I guess I will need to buy more microphones
That pasta looks really really good
The subtitles are hilarious. "Did I studder?" "Bang tidy mate!!!!" LOLLLLLLL
"That was lush mate!" Is Chris doing your subtitles? 😂
Also that origami paper bowl from the restaurant at 3:44?! Genius
Sharla would love this!
It's not a complete Ryotaro video without roasting Chris xD
*"We have made sushi"*
*"Yeah so what?"*
*"Without fish"*
*"Right there way sir"*
I'm only halfway through the video, but the translated parts with the English slang/humor has me giggling! I effing LOVe tomatoes/pasta and the way the tomatoes sound -- holy moly I gotta go try it when I'm in Japan!
That all looked magnificent, and I love their pride in it all. (and RIP to that microphone)
Love the sweater 🎋 and non fish 🐟 sushi 🍣, like vegan Kobe steak 🥩
3:31 I have never cringed so hard in my life. Goodjob- better than a jumpscare 👏
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Reminds me of my favorite chirashizushiya in front of Hakuraku eki in Yokohama, back in the 90s. It’s probably gone now, but I used to order their mountain vegetable chirashi at least once every two weeks or so.
Good timing Ryotaro! I was just planning to make vegetable sushi.
"you death?" 😆 I don't thats what he said but I'm fine with it.
Also everything looks so delicious! Really amazing food in this episode.
Also (2) that paper plate in the pasta restaurant is so cool!
07:07 I was just thinking about Sate that I was eating a week ago down here in my hometown in Indonesia when I first saw that Mohei Mochi.
Ryotaro seems to have visited Indonesia too :> :>
informational and funny. ty boss
Finally a new video! 🤩
The subtitles are just too good 🤣
The subtitles absolutely kill me. So funny!
These subtitles are wild.
Great video, very informative!👌
A dream place for vegans. High quality vegetables and fruit. I would love to visit hidaka if I ever go to japan.
my friends hometown is kotchi thanks this video will give me something to ask her about her home :) im not a fan of sushi because cold fish is something im just not used to but i would love to try inaka zushi
i think ryotaro's brain is confused by all the various accents' pronunciation of tomato so he just decided to create his own pronunciation XD
Oh, those look so tasty!
I love Ryotaro’s subtitles 😂
