** NOTIFICATION SQUAD** You won't believe how many Mikans we Japanese eat throughout the winter. Just be careful, once you start, you can't stop eating. but that is exactly what I want you to experience with this precioius Mikan. Lastly apologies for those who do not live in the U.S.. Due to the regulations, Mikan can not be exported to other countries from Fukuoka at the moment.
@Harun. Of course,Sendai! because Chris, Sharla, I all live here and love here, but apart from that I would recommend Toyama city as it has got some magnificent scenay of Tateyama mountain range.
@Harun. Kyoto, definitely(just avoid Gion, SUPER expensive). And take the Randen to Arashiyama. Also, we stayed in Ikoma for a day, in between Osaka and Nara, and it was just a random town we stayed in, but it was so cozy, a nice place to stay in between big cities/tourist spots. But don't discount places like Osaka, Nara, and Yokohama. They can get crowded, but my claustrophobia was NEVER triggered in Japan, the whole total three and a half months we were there. Even when we were at Hatchiko crossing at night.
In Finland we have a similar practice during winter. We eat a lot of mandarin oranges, satsumas, clementines during the winter. The closest thing the we can grow that "once you start, you can't stop eating" is the strawberry. Fresh strawberries on a hot july day is something that's bound to lift ones spirits every time.
Fun fact, Australia exports more mandarins to Japan than we consume ourselves. I used to work for a citrus grower that grew ellendale mandarins, that are all exclusively sold to Japan, you cannot buy them in Australia.
Yeah, these are just mandarin oranges (Tangerines and Clementines). What's called an Orange in the West nowadays is actually a hybrid fruit that was created from combining a Mandarin orange with a Pomelo.
More mikan history: Mikan comes from the Chinese wēnzhōu mìgān/温州蜜柑 (meaning Wenzhou tangerine; Wenzhou is in Zhejiang). Mikan was first brought to the US from Asia by Jesuits, starting with groves by New Orleans (these groves still exist). The fruit became much more common in the US during the Meiji period, when Owari mikans were brought to the United States from Satsuma by the spouse of the US Minister to Japan, General Van Valkenburgh, who renamed them satsuma Kyushu is pretty much Japanese Florida. Now all it needs is some weird Florida Man (or Kyushu Man in this case) adventures...which Ryotaro is close enough
…making the question of how mikan are different to satsumas, extremely stupid. Satsuma is, after all, the English word for mikan. (and yet, people always mistranslate "mikan". Everywhere …with the exception of grocery stores and the like, and botanists and the like)
@@night_fiend6 Tangerines are a specific type of mandarin orange. But are mandarinas clementines? it's all about the translation and local names vary from place to place.
Mikan is the Japanese name for a mandarin. Japan has its own varieties but, like many agricultural products in Japan, the marketing is based on the region it comes from rather than the variety.
@@brucetownsend691 No. Mikan is not the Japanese name for mandarin. Mikan refers to the fruit Citrus unshiu …which, in the West, are called satsuma. (because they were imported from Satsuma) The Japanese name for mandarins, is マンダリン. (which is read/pronounced: 'mandarin')
In Britain we have similar traditions with these, given around Christmas time. We call them "Satsuma" here, but it's the same fruit, as far as I'm aware. Delicious. It's true that once you start eating them, it's hard to stop. 😂
They're the same type of fruit (mandarins) but different varieties , Satsuma and Mikan being the name for those (alongside Imperial, Clementine and a couple dozen others.)
I'll be in Fukuoka in a month, so looking forward to trying these! Big fan of Satsumas and Clementines, so will be interesting to compare. Ps Risotorro's subtitles crack me up.
It's easy to compare satsumas and mikan. Step one: Buy two satsumas. Step two: Compare the two. (satsuma, is the English word for mikan. Satsuma=mikan …and yet, whenever people translate, they *always* mistranslate mikan with the name of some other citrus fruit …or, like here, leave it as mikan, which suggests it is a different kind of citrus fruit, to satsumas)
poor Chris, if i lived in the US or Japan, would buy some, just to be sure, he won't get hit with them. Please advertise stuff, we can buy/order in Europe, too. Thanks
From what I can find, monpe seem to predate WWII (though perhaps only by a few decades?), though they were strongly encouraged, or even kinda forced, to be worn by women. (men already wore more mobile clothing) …and those trousers don't look anything like what I can find info/pictures on, when I look up "monpe". Those just seem to be sweatpants. Indeed, how are they any different, to normal sweatpants? (which, BTW, should only ever really be used, for leisurely indoors use)
I think some variety have seeds... I remember buying some at the grocery store in Japan with some, but that was also like back in 2019, so my memory might be fuzzy.
When you kill Chuta for chocolate: *"A small price to pay,for salvation"* ...RIP Chuta, really was a real one. Chuta was a lifesaver. I was drowning in a lake years ago with Natsuki when Chuta came out of nowhere and saved us from the serpent they call "Chris Broad". The Mikan streetlights is the same energy as the streetlights of Hershey, Pennsylvania being....Hershey Kisses. Ah yes, the Hoenn region...I didn't have time to enjoy the fruits of the region as I was too busy getting obliterated by my Gym leader father at the Petalburg Gym.
I think this fruit is commonly eaten in winter months in the northern hemisphere. At least in most countries i know of. I'm italian, and here it's cultivated in the south, and it's a common fruit all troughout the winter. Along with oranges.
Tangerines are the best! They're my main sustenance during the winter months lol. Here in Austria, we traditionally give tangerines to children for St. Nicholas Day on 06 Dec. Which, come to think of it, is odd because the holiday has been around for a very long time but obviously the fruit isn't native to central Europe so I wonder how the tradition started. In any case, here we also associate it with winter and being cosy and it's so nice to see similar traditions emerging all over the world!
The most noticeable feature of a mandarin is the way you can easily peel the skin. Mikan is the Japanese name for a mandarin. A tangerine is in between an orange and a mandarin, the skin being more like that of an orange.
@@brucetownsend691 The Japanese name for mandarin (Citrus reticulata), is マンダリン. (i.e. mandarin) The English word for mikan (Citrus unshiu) is satsuma.
This is funny.. because Mika is also typical first name for Finnish Car drivers.. like Mika Häkkinen.. or Mika Salo.. and in Finnish "Mikan auto" is in English Mika's car or in Japanese kuruma no Mika...
No. In Germany, they are called Satsuma. Not Mandarinen. Mandarinen is the German for for mandarins. Mandarins is not the same thing as satsumas/mikan. That's like saying that what the Germans call "Mandarinen", is known as "oranges" in English.
Germans are obsessed with them too during winter. Just bought a wooden box the size of a shoe carton of clementines. They are not even expensive. That thing won't survive the week.
It's English name is Satsuma. Mikan=satsuma. (you may argue that the name should be changed to mikan, as satsuma is a rather stupid name, but… Satsuma is a well established name, for that specific/exact/precise fruit)
So Mikan is a Satsuma. Not sure it's all that stupid a name. According to Wikipedia it was introduced to the west from the Satsuma region of Japan, hence the name.
@@richardellingworth4484 First of all Satsuma is a place, secondly it was _imported_ from the trade port in Satsuma …which was the place where *_ALL_* trade, of anything/everything, between the West and Japan occurred.
@@inisipisTV No. Satsuma and mikan, are both names for the species Citrus unshiu. Varieties have other names (that most regular people don't know or use) …and mandarins are a completely different species. (Citrus reticulata) Also, there is no one name, that it is known by, in China. There are a great many languages spoken in China. Even if you ignore the great many non-Chinese languages spoken there (but where most are native to the area. China covers far more, than just areas with ethnically Chinese people, after all), there are many different Chinese languages. (with very different grammar, syntax, words, pronunciation, tones or lack thereof…) To speak of "the Chinese language" is as ridiculous as talking about "the European language".

every winter in germany... Manadrinen und Clementinen... i love it.
I can top the bath tube.
When you stay in Omihachiman near lake visa in the Matchya inn there is a real big circular sake barrel to bath in.
Wow, those look tasty! That cheesecake looks amazing too! I hope you sell lots of mikans, but have a few leftover to throw at Chris. 😄
My favorite way is Mikan-shuu (liquor). Also found a mikan chuu-hai that was delicious
I love MIkan-shu as well. They are really good
I don't normally drink liquor but that sounds tasty
If mikan is anything like sweet mandarins, I won't blame the japanese. Mandarin is my favourite fruit as well.
Lovely video thanks for sharing 👍 😀
The ending is hilarious hahaha imhappy he did that skit with you
Cor blimey! Those satsumas look jolly good. 🍊
I love your videos, very high quality, interesting and funny
A link to that shop would be appreciated,would like to buy some of those pants. Love your videos,thank you!!
We call them ‘naartjies’ in South Africa - and we love the too. :)
Oh if it is what we call satsuma oranges then they are popular in the uk too :)
Love it chaps. Fascinating and fun.
Probably the quickest catch out of your videos ever

Looks like a klementine? We eat alot of those around christmas time in Norway
core blimey that's good innit
Love your energy
Great video Risottaro!

(agrees out of kindness) did not know that i needed that line in my life.
Those slim fit pants look great on you! ;)
Are these similar to clementines?
The yellow one was the best choice.
Does ryotaro and nick(junk food Japan) have same editor?
How does it compare to a clementine?
Is mikan the same as yuzu?
We also have that citrus fruit here in the Philippines called DALANGHITA. It's sour when unripe, super sweet when ripe.
Ah, I love the Philippines. I've never been, but some of my oldest friends are Filipinos.
Those pants are awesome
OK
The yellow trousers show it 😃
Man that cheesecake made me hungry!
Croatia is pretty obsessed too
Is Mikan like a Mandarine? If so, then here in Poland its a typical Winter imported fruit for Christmas xD
I believe they are a strain of mandarine, so could say yes.

I love Mikan, but I love Yuzu this season! Great video! If you’re ever visiting Saitama lemme know dude ✌️
Omg we are obsessed with this in Norway too. Literally hoard it throughout December and it's a "Christmas fruit" 😂
I wonder who's the editor, he need a raise 😂
Looks like what we call a naartjie in South Africa.
Mexerica is love. Mexerica is life
It looks like an American tangerine or tangello. Some call them halos
During Chinese New Year, we use pairs of these to greet people with auspicious words.
An authentic Japanese bathtub in Japan, how amazing lol.
That's not really a good motivator since we WANT to see mikan thrown on Chris xD
You two are so funny waging war xDDD love you both.
i need some mikans..
We will be waiting for the video where you will throw all the unsold mikan to Chris
Are monpe typically men's pants or do they have them for women too?
I wonder if Jarritos Mandarin flavour is popular in Japan
then the bloopers of actually throwing mikan at chris.
Thay ending hahaha
are hybrid plants for that reson they don´t have seeds, so sad. :(
Mandarinas or Tangerines?
Mikan are Mandarins in English. A tangerine is different and in between a mandarin and an orange.

You probably have. The English (well, Western) name for mikan is 'satsuma'.
