You guys consumed the beans correctly. It’s a black soybean tea called “kuromamecha 黒豆茶” and it is supposed to have health benefits due to its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties ! :)
Wow I came to the comments for the poop update, I mean, -Ahem- ....yes I am also an intellectual who could not sleep until I found the solution for what that bean in the glass was! 😂
That's okay Martina. Been there done that. When I was 5 years old and had no shame I wanted to be a dog so bad I shit on my neighbor's front yard. Which also turned out to be my dad's favorite story to tell about me whenever I brought friends, boyfriends, and eventual future husband to the house.
Just today I saw you that you had commented telling this same story in the comments of that emilia fart calling people and telling them secrets video. Your comment was from a month ago I think. Weird to see you again. Lol
Omg. This reminds me of my little sister, who when she was a toddler used to exact revenge on our mother for imposing heinous rules, like 'no you may not eat every biscuit in the jar' or 'no, you can't take your sister's puzzle and bury individual pieces all over the yard', by taking a dump in the corner of the toilet room. The only other family member who took strategic revenge-dumps in places was our cat.
@@eatyourkimchi Lol, thank you. I guess if those friends stuck around after that it meant that they were keepers. And that when my husband first heard it and stuck around I put a ring on it. Oddly enough it wasn't the last time I did that. There was a teacher in middle school who was just awful. Awful teacher, awful person. I am 32 years old and to this day, do not regret what I left on her door step at random times of the year in 1998.
hi... ALMOST three years?! oh my god! i remember you announcing you were moving like it was yesterday!!! i must have been watching you for almost 5 years then!!! that’s crazy!!!
That story at the end was intense! I'm glad Martina made it through. I'm on a medication that makes my stomach sensitive and I definitely know that feeling.
Ahh I was in Japan with a friend last week, and we were literally standing next to both of you on the train along the Yamanote line one evening. My friend asked me to go say hi, but I was too nervous... So I thought that I'll drop you a comment to say that I've been following your channel since you were in Korea, and I adore your videos! They've never failed to make me smile on a bad day, so thank you! PS. I know Martina often talks about how tall Simon is, but seeing really is believing! He's probably 2 heads taller than me...
Thanks for the shitter update!!! That's what my family calls them when recalling our last crap incident!! Ps I laughed so hard it's 6am and everyone in the house is sleeping and I'm really trying not to wake them!!!! Perfect way to start to my day😳😱💩💩💩💩
Did this not happen before to Martina??? I feel like you guys had s podcast episode about her almost pooping her pants. Sorry girl.... Also shameless plug go listen to their podcast!!!
I came here for the omurice. 😒 (Seriously, though, this video is already one of my favorites just because of the totally derivative opening and ending sequences and Martina's psychic bit. Laughed so hard.)
Thank you so much for uploading! This was a hard morning but this vid is honestly helping already :) ...I am an omurice fan though... I agree Martina is owed a consolation price lol
I just love anytime you guys upload. You are both awesome and entertaining people making engaging and informative content and I thank you so much for that. Love going on these adventures with you!!!!
Poo story! So I went on a date with a guy I really like. He took me out for milkshakes. The shake did not agree with me at all......and the place didn't have a public restroom. So I had to end the date (told him I had to study for a test), drove to the closest fast food restaurant, and bolted for the stales. Good news: the guy still likes me. Lol
Shipocalyps 😂 Oh man. I relate. So I’m lactose intolerant, and 2 years ago, I worked an hour and 15 minutes away from where I lived. During this drive there were no gas stations for the last 45 minutes. One morning, in a sleep frazzled state, I made my coffee with what I thought was my non-dairy creamer. Spoiler: it wasn’t. I drove the first 20 minutes just fine. Then it hit me. I was running behind by 5 minutes, and I didn’t want to stop until I got to my job. I thought I could handle it. I was 15 minutes into the no gas stations “leg” of my journey, sweating... I tried. And then I realized the dire nature of things, so I u- turned in the middle of a highway (ran off the road a-little) and raced for the nearest gas station like the demons of hell were coming for me.... It was the most intense drive of my life. When I got to the gas station, an attendant was just about to open the bathroom door and clean it. I scared the attendant by racing through the store and grabbing the door handle right as he was reaching for it. We said nothing to each other, I just stared him down as I opened and closed the door behind me. Victory was mine that day, but it was a close call.
Marie G My husband doesn’t like my nondairy creamer, so he buys dairy based creamer. I was half asleep and made his and my coffee that morning. I ended up with his cup of coffee with the dairy in it.
BTW, you guys are the absolute best youtube teachers on Japanese culture, showing us the best stuff to go to. Thank you for your amazing videos, beautiful attitudes, and wonderful friendship with your fans!! You're my inspiration! 💖
kkkk...well, one traumatizing poop story is enough for now. I was in Korea for years (LOVED IT!!!). My outlook on life took quite a beating after some major decisions but it was your "10 years on RUclips video" that helped me recalibrate. I realized that you both adapted and changed multiple times and you are ready to keep improving. I am really inspired by you both. #buildaladder
Being lactose intolerant-- and an avid dairy lover (why do I do this to myself??)-- I completely and unfortunately relate to Martina's Tempura-tantrum. Bless you girl I'm with you :'^)
Do you live in America? There so many dairy substitute here even coconut whip cream. I forgot which place had coconut whip cream, kinda rare. There almond, oat, soy, lactose free milk, and various other nut (but I never seen those offer) that can be sub for milk in ice cream, creamer, but I haven't tried it in food. I am sure they will remove or sub it if you ask if you live in America. I use to not be able o drink frappuccino or eat ice cream . Now with so much sub in the market and restaurant, almost everything is possible.
I love your poop story. I have a similar oh-no-I'm-stuck story from Japan. My husband and I visited Japan and spent a week in Tokyo and then a week in Kyoto. We bought a tourist JR pass for the trains and took them everywhere in Tokyo, but then Kyoto didn't have as many JR pass friendly options on the north east side. So we bought a bus pass one day and decided to hit up all the key tourist attractions on a bus route. We ended the day in Gion and found a well rated steak house to have an expensive wagyu dinner for our last meal in Japan. It was delicious, but afterward a bunch of things happened at once: 1.) we were standing at a bus stop with a bunch of other foreigners trying to figure out if the buses had stopped visiting this stop for the night as bus after bus after bus kept passing us; 2.) my body doesn't do well with digesting red meat even though I looooove steak and it should get on the same page as me; and 3.) a day of bus riding motion sickness was finally catching up with me and coupled with the meat-sweats, I felt like I was going to blow. In the US, I could just find a bush to blow chunks behind and be fine until the next wave, which would probably give me enough time to figure out the bus and get home... but in Kyoto, every bush is part of a shrine or a garden or a monument... so that seemed like a bad idea. Instead, we hailed a cab, showed him address/name of our hotel, and prayed that he'd get there in time. The more lost he got, the more motion sick I got. I put the window down, I prayed, I breathed slowly, I swallowed, I fanned my face, I did everything I could think of while my husband tried to point out which streets he should take to zigzag to our hidden hotel. I was stuck in this taxi, unsure of what the polite protocol is for publicly vomiting in Japan. Finally, I said heck with it, handed my husband the souvenirs from a plastic shopping bag I'd been carrying, and as silently as I could, vomited in the back seat of a Japanese taxi. I held it closed as tightly as I could so the smell of the rejected $250 wagyu steak dinner wouldn't escape. Five minutes later we pulled up in front of our hotel and I deposit my barf bag in the outside trash bin. We have no idea if the taxi driver was aware of my gut purging in the back of his car because it was so loud with the windows down and I was the stealthiest vomitter ever, but I'm still mortified to this day.
Perks of insomnia I get to see these videos when they come out! Huge shout out to you guys for helping me build a ladder while dealing with my chronic fatigue, you guys are such a huge inspiration to me! Thanks for being amazing!
Ugh that is THE WORST! THE WORST! I’ve had a chronic sleep disorders since forever ever ever. As a kid I couldn’t sleep too. Then battled insomnia in high school (and lost) and again in Uni and still now. I have these flat sleep headphones called Acoustic Sheep to listen to a chill music playlist I made and/or the app Pzizz to try and meditate myself into sleep. But I pretty much cycle through 3 days of shit no sleep before I have to take an ambien to get one night of sleep before I lose my mind. I’m sorry you have to suffer this too. Chronic Fatigue is terrible and I’m glad our videos can be there when you’re awake and suffering and helping out a wee bit.
@@eatyourkimchi Please go do a sleep study!!! It's painless and they will find what's wrong even with being in a strange place and having a million wires on it's worth it!!! Even if you can't sleep during the study they will still be able to see what's wrong!!! (Old sleep tech here 😴 ) Sleep is the only way our bodies heal don't ignore it!!!
i know things might be a little difficult for you guys right now, but i wanted to let you know that your videos give me life and make me laugh so much. really cheers me up when i need it, i can always count on you guys to make me happy. thank you both
I have to say.. I don't know what Simon did, but his beard looks amazing on this episode. Like, from all episodes until this day, I've never had that thought "what a great beard" not that it didn't look good before is just that now looks even better. idk anyway, yeah those tempuras look so delicious!
I’m really happy you guys decided to move to Japan. You guys look so happy and I can totally relate to being served some mystery food. Whether I like it or not I just want to learn about it and try it, I love that feeling!
I love how candid you are with your EDS haha I definitely appreciate it! My mother has chronic pain, and we find it helpful to take her most awful/scary/painful episodes that could be embarassing and turn them on their heads! I have a severe allergy, so I can't try many foods while I'm in a new country. Do you have any advice for allergy people? (mine is to tree nuts)
It always boggles me when people visit different countries and then are too afraid to actually eat anything except fast food restaurants they recognize. I guess it's the difference between foodies and someone just there to be... touristy?
As someone with IBS I've been there... like every other day. XP The mental concentration it requires to no poop your pants is SOOO MUCH!!!! I think you've earned about 1000 xp points for that one. :D
I also have IBS and the poop story hit so close to home, any time I have food my stomach is not used to (Or is really greasy) I have to make sure their is a bathroom close by or I get food and take it home so I don't have to worry.
Omg, IBS sufferer here! It’s so awful... I cannot tell you how many immodium I take weekly just to function. It really is any food I eat, but lettuce really fucks shit up. Lettuce, of all things! I wish they’d make a medicine to actually help!
When you fry something the moisture contained within the item immediately turns to steam in the hot oil. The steam wants to force its way out of the food, and doing so it creates a barrier to the oil. That's why food is moist inside the crispy batter. Food left in the fryer too long, or an oil that is too old or not hot enough will become greasy because the oil will be able to force its way into the food because of lack of steam.
I have had a terrible week, my mental illness has been kicking my butt something fierce. You guys never fail to put a smile on my face! Love you bunches
My girlfriend and I love your channel. Thank you for your hard work. I work in Boston (sadly) and I've downloaded many of your videos onto my devices to watch over and over during my commute. I work a mile away from Chinatown and have two HMart's near me. Thank you for sharing with people to make things happy. Best wishes!
It's a cleansing ritual. As you may have heard of the Senzu bean It represents health, vitality, and fullness. This meaning is the hopes of you to be full and satisfied after you leave the restaurant. Just Kidding I have no idea what I'm saying.
anything that are deep fried is gifts from God. ps: you can freeze your egg and then deep fried it, it will get nice soft egg with runny yolk everytime.
It’s probably one of those things where they don’t wanna feel like a stupid foreigner unaware of Japanese culture. As for their Japanese they definitely know some to live so I doubt asking would be an issue.
Oh Martina, I have IBS that switches randomly from C to D, and I totally get this story! It's one of the reasons why I am scared to travel to Tokyo or Seoul, but I am not going to let my stomach stop me! You've actually been an inspiration to me, as I also suffer from chronic pain. I'm hoping I'm able to control everything while I am there, but if not, well, I will just have to roll with it.
While I voting Omurice but when I saw 50-50 vote result I thought you guys will combine Omurice and Tempura, well I still like whichever you guys choose.
I recognize the Fukuoka Tempura place. It's awesome!!!! It's Hirao Tempura. They fry each item one by one as you eat so that it's always very hot and crispy. It's magic how the cooks remember each customer's order.
As someone who has had their gallbladder removed, I understand that last story ALL TOO WELL!! 😧😂 Gotta watch the greasy foods. I love all the noms but the noms don't always like me back. Great video guys! 🤗🤗🤗 (p.s. now that the weather has gotten cooler, it's time to bust out my pink EYK sweater.)
My mom had her gallbladder removed too! I remember before she removed it, she was having major problems with things like cream in her coffee or something made with butter and it took us ages to make the connection between the fats and her toilet emergencies.
@@eatyourkimchi yes! I was already lactose intolerant before but after the surgery to remove my gallbladder, going to the bathroom became an urgent task. When we travel by plane, I have to make sure that we don't eat anything greasy or with dairy or it's going to be reminiscent of your tunnel story. 😂
I had the post-gallbladder removal potty issues before I had mine out! It was so messed up with stones that it didn’t function right. So after I had it removed....I was already used to the struggle of fatty foods sending me right to the bathroom.
I can't believe it's been three years in Japan for you guys already ;-; time really does fly @-@ i have been listening to all of your podcasts at work ( i stock freight overnight ) and it really helps make the night go by quicker. Love you guys :3
I got the notification for this video less than a minute before my first class, and I had work after. I have been looking forward to this ALL!!!! DAY!!!! Edit: Holy CROW!! My comment is in the video?! (1:14) Its literally there less than a second (!!!!), and it's only me asking for a Tempura video, but why do I still feel so HONORED?! 😭😭😭😭 Edit: That Shitpocalypse was EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! Feel no shame Martina! I commented with that story in a spiritual level!!!!
I have IBS so I totally get the panic when something doesn't "settle well" and you essentially just have to hold it as hard as you possibly can lmao Imodium is my friend. Especially when I was in China for a month last summer and my body wasn't sure how to handle all that grease.
Oh my gosh, that last story is so relatable. IBS all the way, I literally avoid cooking with oil all the time and am so picky when I eat out unless I know there are toilets to escape to on the way back hahaha, tmi. But seriously I am so happy you guys are so open, cause this is real life and there should be no shame in something we can't help. Thanks for keeping it real y'all.
I love the fact that we are “there” with this community that we can talk about our bad poops. But let us also remember the good poops. Like when you wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is settle down on the commode with your phone or, even better, a good book. It’s basically meditation.
hahah love this video! the tempura footage was well captured and it was awesome hearing this story again from when I originally heard it on the podcast :D
omg that tempura. it looks so different from the light colored panko covered stuff here (also super yummy). i've been in a similar poopsies story... didn't go so well.
Loved the video guys! Made the mistake of watching it before eating and now I am really hungry. Also, I could be wrong but I am pretty sure I remember Martina sharing the same story on one of their podcasts awhile ago.
You know what I love them most about you guys especially you Martina, that you see the bright side to things. Even in a dark room you seem to find that light even if it’s a small light you find it. Thank you Simon and Martina for the laughs and the reminders that even the worse situation will always be a laughable one.
Martina: As always love each and every video. For those of us who suffer w/ bathroom issues I commend you. It is so difficult. You never know when you are going to have an attack. I had an experience similar to yours but unfortunately mine did not end so well. We laugh about it now, but was so humiliating then.
This is the second time I'm watching this video. I'm still salivating niagara falls. May be I'm just hungry. You guys make me even more hungry and I love you
Wish me luck, I have my High School Exams starting this week for three weeks. I’ve been watching your channel since I’ve enter high school, now I’m graduating 🤧 how time (6yrs) flies
your editing just gets better and better, Martina i totally wasn’t expecting the Shakira thoughts ( even tho i probably should’ve XD) it made laugh tho
You guys consumed the beans correctly. It’s a black soybean tea called “kuromamecha 黒豆茶” and it is supposed to have health benefits due to its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties ! :)
BEAAAAANNNNNSSS!!! Thanks for the knowledge :)
Is this 豆 の 豆知識?
I came here for the bean comment....mystery solved!
We love intellectuals in this fangroup
Wow I came to the comments for the poop update, I mean, -Ahem- ....yes I am also an intellectual who could not sleep until I found the solution for what that bean in the glass was! 😂
That's okay Martina. Been there done that. When I was 5 years old and had no shame I wanted to be a dog so bad I shit on my neighbor's front yard. Which also turned out to be my dad's favorite story to tell about me whenever I brought friends, boyfriends, and eventual future husband to the house.

wow thats really funny!!! XDDD quite an amazing 5 yr old u were

Omg. So sorry to hear about the Shitpocalypse... but I laughed so hard! Great storytelling, Martina!
I laughed so hard! You could even say.... I laughed my ass off!!!!
I laughed so hard I was crying xD
Been there... shit my pants. Your sphincter is more powerful than mine. 💩
Wow that girl who pushed past you to the toilet! I would have been like "b*tch I will end you!!"
🤣🤣🤣😵😵😵💥💀
For anyone who's curious, the beans are there to make Japanese black bean tea. It's a very subtle sweetness, and healthy for you too!
Thank you for explaining
hi... ALMOST three years?! oh my god! i remember you announcing you were moving like it was yesterday!!! i must have been watching you for almost 5 years then!!! that’s crazy!!!
I thought so too.. 3 years? Jesus christ I though it was maybe around 1 and a half year.. Time flies!
Me, too! That was so weird lol!
I feel it!
Me too, I started watching them a year before they announced moving to Japan
OMG, I feel like "Hips don't lie" is constantly playing in Martina's head at default and we only see it burst out of her every so often lol
When you watch the ads cos you know its ad revenue for Simon & Martina
Thumb up, heart and comment for this!
Same
This comment made me realize this so I kept opening the video up till an ad returned haha
What a mood
Aaw man I automatically skipped by accident. Will re watch this just in case there's another ad.
That story at the end was intense! I'm glad Martina made it through. I'm on a medication that makes my stomach sensitive and I definitely know that feeling.
Well omurice wins popular vote but tempura wins electoral vote and you know what happens in that one particular country.
Isnt that then just a way to manipulate the result (?)
IT IS
Nooo let's not compare amazing and delicious tempura to You-Know-Who!
With the right lighting, both look orangey
Well in this case tempura doesnt have the help of papa putin 😜
Ahh I was in Japan with a friend last week, and we were literally standing next to both of you on the train along the Yamanote line one evening.

E
For this week's video we're going for Tempura, and Martina is having a bad flashback...
Just wanna say by the by, I love you two 💜💜💜💜💜
Simon and Martina bad flashbacks..?welp we’ll see.
Thanks for the shitter update!!! That's what my family calls them when recalling our last crap incident!! Ps I laughed so hard it's 6am and everyone in the house is sleeping and I'm really trying not to wake them!!!! Perfect way to start to my day😳😱💩💩💩💩
Simon and Martina I love pumpkin and sweet potato, and egg plant tempuras 😋
Did this not happen before to Martina??? I feel like you guys had s podcast episode about her almost pooping her pants.
Sorry girl....
Also shameless plug go listen to their podcast!!!
Do a Martina's Midnight Munchies of Omurice and don't let Simon have any for vote justice!
I came here for the omurice. 😒
(Seriously, though, this video is already one of my favorites just because of the totally derivative opening and ending sequences and Martina's psychic bit. Laughed so hard.)
Simon and Martina or the only RUclipsrs who can make a poop story so endearing. I feel you my friends (you, not your poop) ;)
I FULLY ENJOYED YOUR POOP STORY ACCOMPANIED BY THE REENACTMENT HAHA
Thank you thank you.
I feel your pain. I was right there with you girl. Been there and done that.
Awkward diarrhea stories make me feel closer to the rest of humanity. Thanks for sharing, Martina!
Thank you so much for uploading! This was a hard morning but this vid is honestly helping already :)
...I am an omurice fan though... I agree Martina is owed a consolation price lol
The poop story delivery was GOLD! :D
I just love anytime you guys upload. You are both awesome and entertaining people making engaging and informative content and I thank you so much for that. Love going on these adventures with you!!!!
Thank you for joining us on these adventures, and inspiring us to go on more :D

i know things might be a little difficult for you guys right now, but i wanted to let you know that your videos give me life and make me laugh so much. really cheers me up when i need it, i can always count on you guys to make me happy. thank you both
I have to say.. I don't know what Simon did, but his beard looks amazing on this episode. Like, from all episodes until this day, I've never had that thought "what a great beard" not that it didn't look good before is just that now looks even better. idk
anyway, yeah those tempuras look so delicious!
I’m really happy you guys decided to move to Japan. You guys look so happy and I can totally relate to being served some mystery food. Whether I like it or not I just want to learn about it and try it, I love that feeling!
We're very happy here. Just absolutely love it :D
I can just imagine Martina asking the cashier at the convince store(deep voice) "TOIRE WA DOKO DESU KA"!!!!!!
Looking like a cute anime girl. Sounds like a yakuza.
The noise of laughter I made!
Also Martina your hair is so RAD in this video wow
I love how candid you are with your EDS haha I definitely appreciate it! My mother has chronic pain, and we find it helpful to take her most awful/scary/painful episodes that could be embarassing and turn them on their heads!
I have a severe allergy, so I can't try many foods while I'm in a new country. Do you have any advice for allergy people? (mine is to tree nuts)
It always boggles me when people visit different countries and then are too afraid to actually eat anything except fast food restaurants they recognize. I guess it's the difference between foodies and someone just there to be... touristy?
Also, NOTIFICATION SQUAD! What is your favourite food to deep fry?
Simon and Martina Churros
Simon and Martina chicken. And cheese. 🤤 the clean up though. *flips table*
Pickles🤤
Spring rolls ❤
Churros as well 🤤
My favorite couple!!
He'll to the yes. They are legit goals in every way
As someone with IBS I've been there... like every other day. XP The mental concentration it requires to no poop your pants is SOOO MUCH!!!! I think you've earned about 1000 xp points for that one. :D
I also have IBS and the poop story hit so close to home, any time I have food my stomach is not used to (Or is really greasy) I have to make sure their is a bathroom close by or I get food and take it home so I don't have to worry.
Omg, IBS sufferer here! It’s so awful... I cannot tell you how many immodium I take weekly just to function. It really is any food I eat, but lettuce really fucks shit up. Lettuce, of all things! I wish they’d make a medicine to actually help!
SAME!! Lol the things we do, haha...
Hello IBS my old friend.....
Oh yeah IBS club... We all know the realness of this situation!
"I was pregnant... with food, hahaha"
Hahahaha I also heard that story on your podcast. I was laughing so hard in my car and other drivers just stared at me as if I was crazy :D
When you fry something the moisture contained within the item immediately turns to steam in the hot oil. The steam wants to force its way out of the food, and doing so it creates a barrier to the oil. That's why food is moist inside the crispy batter. Food left in the fryer too long, or an oil that is too old or not hot enough will become greasy because the oil will be able to force its way into the food because of lack of steam.
i honestly had to pause the video, go make myself noodles and then come back with food to finish watching it
now who on earth came up with that title... hmmm....
description confirmed what everyone already knows
I have had a terrible week, my mental illness has been kicking my butt something fierce. You guys never fail to put a smile on my face! Love you bunches
My girlfriend and I love your channel. Thank you for your hard work. I work in Boston (sadly) and I've downloaded many of your videos onto my devices to watch over and over during my commute. I work a mile away from Chinatown and have two HMart's near me. Thank you for sharing with people to make things happy. Best wishes!
Martina buy something extremely stupid and expensive that Simon would normally do
someone tell us the secret of the beans!!!! :D
Right what was the beans for?!!!! Going through comments still no answer ! Lol
The closest thing I've found on the internet is Kuromame Tea or Black Soybean Tea. Maybe it's it, maybe it isn't it? 🤔😕
Apparently it's called black soy bean tea. Someone commented what it does for you.
It's a cleansing ritual. As you may have heard of the Senzu bean It represents health, vitality, and fullness. This meaning is the hopes of you to be full and satisfied after you leave the restaurant.
Just Kidding I have no idea what I'm saying.
Ximon Whhatt oooh, a Senzu bean tea!! I want one XD
anything that are deep fried is gifts from God.
ps: you can freeze your egg and then deep fried it, it will get nice soft egg with runny yolk everytime.
Alkaline1303 ayyyeew is that a food wars reference XD
it is! but that egg tempura recipe worth to try, i tried couple methods and food wars' method is a very good one.
I see a SnS reference, i press like
Having your videos on my youtube newsfeed always make my day !!
That cumbia at 2:16 caught me off guard. You're taking me to Colombia with out even knowing!
you always post videos like this when i'm hungry and vulnerable
Why didn't you ask the waiter about that beans?
@@ninninin656 Theyre learning & learning p quickly :/ They just speak english to the viewers.
@@ninninin656 Wrong.
Its Koromamecha
also known as Japanese black bean tea
It’s probably one of those things where they don’t wanna feel like a stupid foreigner unaware of Japanese culture. As for their Japanese they definitely know some to live so I doubt asking would be an issue.
But like can we get a midnight munchies on omurice?
Fantastic video guys. Tempura is my favorite! Making me so hungry 🤤
Oh Martina, I have IBS that switches randomly from C to D, and I totally get this story! It's one of the reasons why I am scared to travel to Tokyo or Seoul, but I am not going to let my stomach stop me! You've actually been an inspiration to me, as I also suffer from chronic pain. I'm hoping I'm able to control everything while I am there, but if not, well, I will just have to roll with it.
While I voting Omurice but when I saw 50-50 vote result I thought you guys will combine Omurice and Tempura, well I still like whichever you guys choose.
Yayyy! Glad I voted for tempura 😋
Me too!
The beans are for a black bean tea! You guys did right 😂😂😂
Martina your story at the end actually helped me feel better as I have IBS and been faced with those options before. So thank you for sharing!
More like tem-POO-ra tantrum, amiright? Hanh? Has someone already said this? Surely someone has already said this.
girls are not meant to poop.
You are a genius
I recognize the Fukuoka Tempura place. It's awesome!!!! It's Hirao Tempura. They fry each item one by one as you eat so that it's always very hot and crispy. It's magic how the cooks remember each customer's order.
This episode was awesome for so many different reasons.
As someone who has had their gallbladder removed, I understand that last story ALL TOO WELL!! 😧😂 Gotta watch the greasy foods. I love all the noms but the noms don't always like me back. Great video guys! 🤗🤗🤗 (p.s. now that the weather has gotten cooler, it's time to bust out my pink EYK sweater.)
My mom had her gallbladder removed too! I remember before she removed it, she was having major problems with things like cream in her coffee or something made with butter and it took us ages to make the connection between the fats and her toilet emergencies.
@@eatyourkimchi yes! I was already lactose intolerant before but after the surgery to remove my gallbladder, going to the bathroom became an urgent task. When we travel by plane, I have to make sure that we don't eat anything greasy or with dairy or it's going to be reminiscent of your tunnel story. 😂
You might try a good digestive enzyme supplement with each meal.
She might try a good degestive enzyme supplement with her meals.
I had the post-gallbladder removal potty issues before I had mine out! It was so messed up with stones that it didn’t function right. So after I had it removed....I was already used to the struggle of fatty foods sending me right to the bathroom.
I just love you two. I love the way you interact with each other and I love how playful you are. These are my favorite videos.
I can't believe it's been three years in Japan for you guys already ;-; time really does fly @-@ i have been listening to all of your podcasts at work ( i stock freight overnight ) and it really helps make the night go by quicker. Love you guys :3
I got the notification for this video less than a minute before my first class, and I had work after. I have been looking forward to this ALL!!!! DAY!!!!
Edit: Holy CROW!! My comment is in the video?! (1:14)
Its literally there less than a second (!!!!), and it's only me asking for a Tempura video, but why do I still feel so HONORED?! 😭😭😭😭
Edit: That Shitpocalypse was EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!! Feel no shame Martina! I commented with that story in a spiritual level!!!!
Was gonna study but Simon and Martina had other plans 😂
Good luck on studying afterwards! You can do it!
Thank you 😭 I’ll try my best. Fighting! 👍🏾
I absolutely loved the story at the end 😆 Can totally relate because I have intestinal issues so I've been through similar situations 😂
Best video so far, I'm so glad that I found your videos. I love them so much.
Agh I've been so busy and stressed out these days your videos are a ray of sunshine in my cloudy week 💕💕
Yay tempura 🍤
Also, Martina’s hair is absolutely GORGEOUS 💜💕
My favourite part of this was the ending. Martina, you're a great storyteller! XD
I have IBS so I totally get the panic when something doesn't "settle well" and you essentially just have to hold it as hard as you possibly can lmao
Imodium is my friend. Especially when I was in China for a month last summer and my body wasn't sure how to handle all that grease.
Oh my gosh, that last story is so relatable. IBS all the way, I literally avoid cooking with oil all the time and am so picky when I eat out unless I know there are toilets to escape to on the way back hahaha, tmi. But seriously I am so happy you guys are so open, cause this is real life and there should be no shame in something we can't help. Thanks for keeping it real y'all.
I love the fact that we are “there” with this community that we can talk about our bad poops. But let us also remember the good poops. Like when you wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is settle down on the commode with your phone or, even better, a good book. It’s basically meditation.
Is it bad that my favorite part of this video is the poop story? 😂 Martina good job btw, proud of you honey 😁
Honestly what a mood
Is it me but Simon’s yellow tinted glasses are so.... awesome 😎 , love your videos, my favorite cute couple
Was going to buckle down and be productive today at work... wait new fapfap video? Work, smirk... to the video!
Thanks guys! Watching this during my dinner... magnificent ending. Live and learn, live and learn...
hahah love this video! the tempura footage was well captured and it was awesome hearing this story again from when I originally heard it on the podcast :D
omg that tempura. it looks so different from the light colored panko covered stuff here (also super yummy). i've been in a similar poopsies story... didn't go so well.
Tempura is not made with panko, lol.
Oh wow, first time I'm early. SCORE.
I was in class when they posted the video🙃
Omg I'm actually early!!! Love you guys
Loved the video guys! Made the mistake of watching it before eating and now I am really hungry. Also, I could be wrong but I am pretty sure I remember Martina sharing the same story on one of their podcasts awhile ago.
You know what I love them most about you guys especially you Martina, that you see the bright side to things. Even in a dark room you seem to find that light even if it’s a small light you find it. Thank you Simon and Martina for the laughs and the reminders that even the worse situation will always be a laughable one.
I love that Martina shared her poop story with us and is not like " uhhh I'm a lady I don't poop"
Psssst... Simon.... Go back and get that cute sweater real quick.... It's adorbs! Martina deserves that cuteness!
that ally story was to real for me Martina. 😂😂😂😂😂 you handled it like the warrior you are!!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂 seriously you guys crack me up...
I’m so happy after my shitty double at work I come home to see you guys have posted a new video. Thank you both for everything you do :)
Ok this is one of my favorite videos you guys have made.
I suffer from IBS so I know EXACTLY what you've been through Martina...it's not fun...
That feel cuz I understand the pain of Martina poop story. "Please god just LET ME GET TO THAT TOILET!" XD
We need to make the Official Poop Squad so we can exchange stories of toilet terrors
I'll join that!
Martina: As always love each and every video. For those of us who suffer w/ bathroom issues I commend you. It is so difficult. You never know when you are going to have an attack. I had an experience similar to yours but unfortunately mine did not end so well. We laugh about it now, but was so humiliating then.
This is the second time I'm watching this video. I'm still salivating niagara falls. May be I'm just hungry. You guys make me even more hungry and I love you
I loved the little shopping clip. I wish you guys would leave in more stuff like that
Came for the tempura, stayed for the horror story
As someone who has had their gallbladder removed, Martina - your story was 100% relate-able to me!
Wish me luck, I have my High School Exams starting this week for three weeks. I’ve been watching your channel since I’ve enter high school, now I’m graduating 🤧 how time (6yrs) flies
Holy shit! Exams are three weeks?! Damn. Good luck with that!
your editing just gets better and better, Martina i totally wasn’t expecting the Shakira thoughts ( even tho i probably should’ve XD) it made laugh tho
Miso Hangry....BAHAHAHAHA
You made my day... always love your videos and amazingly witty narration!
