Simon and Martina, I've been subscribed since 2013. The last time I remember commenting on one of your videos was...2013. After hearing you guys talk recently about how much you love to interact with people in the comments, I realized that I want to be a little more involved in the Nasty community. :D I think I'll try to comment on new videos and livestreams from now on. For now, I just want to say a big HELLO to the both of you and I hope you find more wonderful hand-warming foods in Japan this winter. ☺
Same! I thought to myself, why haven’t I commented more? I’ve been watching for years and only commented once to complain about no more Korean music updates. So far my commenting track record is bad 😅
My 2 month old son has had such a rough time sleeping until we found your videos, your voices and positivity put him right to sleep! As an overly exsusted mom I thank you so much.
i thought i was the only one! eat your sushi is my favourite to fall asleep too. the positivity really helps my anxiety and its something nice and fun to fall asleep too
Why can't convenience stores in the U.S. have this sort of deliciousness? All we get are mushy sandwiches and overcooked taquito things and plastic nacho cheese sauce...
This is why I miss the 7/11 in Hawaii. We get manapua which is the same thing as a nikuman basically. Not much variety but my fav flavor is char siu. There's also these pork dumpling things I forget the word for them, lil bentos and spam musubi. I'm so sad when I step into a 7/11 now.
Listentoyourheart You're talking about pork shumai! And yes, 7/11 in Hawaii does have great choices for quick foods. Char siu manapua is always a solid choice!
the economics of the convenience store food in japan baffles me. no way in hell a 7/11 in the states would provide that many varieties of fresh/real prepared food at that price. Every morning. So many fresh meals. who? how? when? huh?
OnlyDoniaUKnow It’s honestly kind of hard to pinpoint why we have a similar 7/11 culture to Japan. In a lot of aspects California is way more “Japanese” than Hawaii despite having a lot of Japanese people here. I doubt it has anything to do with distance. I also doubt it’s because we get a lot of Japanese tourists since it’s all local food. But I’m definitely happy that we have a lot of variety in our 7/11. Perhaps it’s because we have a lot of local food that’s easy to mass produce for 7/11. ~shrugs~
I feel like there's a pretty huge stigma in the states about "gas station food" that just isn't there in japan. 7eleven has some food, but because it would probably add up to just a straight loss here in the states, they don't do more than taquitos and hot dogs because those have a longer shelf life once you put them on the rollers. Lets be honest here, if your local 7eleven started stocking the rough US equivalent to steamed buns or something, would you buy it? Would the average customer buy it? I don't think so, sadly. I used to love the 7eleven taquitos until I started getting some serious shade for eating them because I bought them with my lunch money after school. I was made fun of with vague platitudes about how it was vaguely "gross" or "weird". Nothing about the quality of the food was either of those, but because it was from a convenience store, a lot of the people around me aside from my friends who also ate them started to be assholes about it. I wish 7eleven could, without losing money, stock more freshly prepared foods like this in the states, but until the stigma fades, or enough people all around the country show more interest in freshly prepped convenience store foods, I don't think we'll be getting them any time soon.
I don't remember this being covered in the video but steam buns (in Japan) are typically seasonal. Yes, They are that good, and yes, they are worth making the trip just to get them. However, nikuman (and all its variations) are a fall / winter item. Like many seasonal items in Japan, most konbini stop serving nikuman and oden in late spring.
Eyes In The Darkness You can steel get one at 7/11 or Family mart even in summer, but because they are hot (obviously 😂), they sell them only till approximately 12am and only make like 5 of them, because they are not selling that well. So if you really want to taste it you should get up early and hurry up ;)
that is a good plan, however steaming them is tricky business *inhales sharply thinking of Martina making midnight munchies of nikuman before getting back on track* making sure their not rubbery.
There’s something really entertaining about watching you guys finding one nuance of Japan and then trying a whole lot of it for consistency ! Like others have mentioned. I’m more motivated to acknowledge the creators that adore and love. And will make the effort to do more than giving a thumbs up ! Your community definitely appreciate your efforts to entertain and educate ❤️
Martina's silly voices make me so happy and sometimes if find myself doing silly voices too! So thank you for influencing my life by spicing it up with different voices!
I love seeing you both smile. You are a couple so full of joy and love. You are an inspiration for your subscribers. Keep smiling people and happy new year. To a new year full of lovely dogs
"Think of these as Hot Pockets but not gross." I totally need to describe this to anybody anywhere whenever I have to do an introduction to anyone about dumplings and nikuman. Wow, that was a disaster of a sentence but omg I miss 7-11 and Lawson's so freakin' much. D:
Hey guys! I've been following you for years (taught in Busan and used your videos to survive!!!) I was wondering if you guys have any plans to write a book about your experiences? I think your humor would translate fantastically to print and I know your fans would love it!!!
I've never commented on your videos but I have to say you guys are awesome! Martina is so inspirational and Simon's devotion to her makes my heart hurt. I love watching you guys and I'm now longing to visit Japan. Thank you for being you!
3.30am in the morning and now i'm off to make me a mug of warm milk and watch this video filled with steam buns just so i can dream of steamed buns and sleep happily hopefully for the first time in weeks bloody insomnia. Thx guys 2 videos in one day make me very happy indeed...Love you guys xoxo
These laid back sorts of videos are my favorite from you guys. I know the fancy restaurants are awesome and exciting, but I really love this kind of thing. Thank you!
This video inspired me to make my own buns. thanks for going around and giving me some bun ideas :D im making regular pork today but once i get the dough down, im going to make ALL THE BUNS
Steamed buns are heaven *omnomnom* We have a store near my in-laws that makes all sorts of steam buns, but bbq pork buns are the most commonly found savory ones and OMG MARTINA DO THOSE EARMUFFS COME WITH THE EARS BUILT IN?!?!
My exact plan as well lmao I also plan to visit places they went to in their countries. They might not exist anymore but they are good ref to go off 😊💕
Holy smoley I miss sevuuuuuu in Japan. Whenever I talk to people about Japan I always tell them that 7-11 is the best thing that happened to mankind and they're like "whaaa??" And im like "guuurrl, you havent LIVED untill u go to a Japanese 7-11"
Martina. Is. So. Cute! That would have been hilarious if the chicken shaped bun wasn't chicken. HAHAHAHA I also feel like Simon's manly bites (i.e. just stuff it in his mouth) fits his new manly SIZE. DOTHRAKI MAN BITES!!
One of your old videos came on my recommended videos to watch today. I watched it and it made me nostalgic. Reminded me of our years in Korea and watching your videos for tips and tricks. I still love you both so much. Thank you for all these years of laughter, entertainment, cooking ideas, tears and just pure enjoyment. Thank you Simon, Martina, Spudgey and Meemers for the happiness you have brought into our lives.
Literally got onto RUclips at the perfect time. Haven't been having a good day, and the first day of my senior semester got canceled tomorrow due to icy rain. I know I sound like a nerd, but I always look forward to the first day of school (and yes, I'm a college student lol). But I guess that will have to be Tuesday. Anyway, watching your videos are always comforting. I wish y'all had a TV channel so I could constantly watch y'all. However, I believe constant creative making like that can burn one out so I guess I am thankful you guys take your time on videos! Have a great afternoon in Japan, whereas I'm about to go to bed in an hour or so in Atlanta, Georgia. Eat some steam buns for me (while I'm here eating chocolate lucky charms lol)!
I just wanted to let you guys know I literally just bursted down crying from happiness, because of seeing a notification from you guys. I failed at trying to reach out for help when I knew I was going to fall into a huge depression slump today and have been beating myself up about it since. I have been trying to desperately find little rungs to my ladder all day and failing, so this video is probably the brightest rung of the day. Thank you.
I'm sorry you're having a rough day. I know how important it is to grab onto something before you slip too far. I'm really happy we could be there for you when you need us :D
Simon and Martina thanks for the reply! I actually end up binging your old videos alot when I go through these slumps, so you seriously have been there for me more than you know ❤
Auuyghhhhh BITING INTO A WARM, TENDER, SLIGHTLY BOUNCY BUN ON A COLD DAY IS ONE OF THE BEST FEELINGS EVER. Definitely going to go get some myself tomorrow. 🤤 Thanks for sharing! 💕
Oh my goodness!! I love dumplings and dumpling like things!! I’ve always wanted to try these!! Thank you for making these videos so I can in some way experience them until I can go to Japan myself! Love you guys do much!!! Your food videos are my favorite!
Ahhh Martina's earmuffs! I'm so jealous of so many things in this video right now. I wish we had more Japanese food options nearby. I need a steam bun right now!
Also there is NOTHING from the Asian world that I love more than bao. Can't get them fresh around here unless I make them myself but omg they are SO good
I’ve never seen a chicken/rooster bun before🐔My mouth is watering 😂 Important question: How do you keep your camera clean when you’re touching all these buns😁 Update: Simon and Martina Congratulations your video is trending on RUclips 🎉😘
Nothing better than a soft steamy bun! They don't sell fresh steamed buns here in the states, but we get a whole bag of frozen buns from our local Asian store and then steam them ourselves. Leek filling ones are the best! And omg Martina your nails are so so cute!!
It is quite the commitment (almost 400 episodes) and has quite a few filler episodes. Overall though, if you're looking for something to take up time, its worth a watch! Its a classic!
I feel like you guys have put throughout the years (been following you since you were living in that tiny, tiny apartment in korea) the best content i've seen in youtube. I just wanna say thank you so much for all these years of entertainment, learning and encouragement from you experiences abroad and also about your own personal issues. I really hope to keep watching you in the future and hope you never give up on youtube. Love you guys.
I wish I found this channel before my week in Japan! I think we did okay regardless. We had convenient store buns almost every day, hehe. I really liked the mint yogurt water I accidentally bought. The flavored water video was the first Simon and Martina I discovered 😊 I love seeing familiar things in your videos
I miss steam buns so much! I lived most of my life in Asia and now I'm in Brazil and I bought some buns in São Paulo Japan Town and shared (though begrudgingly) with my husband and now I think I created a monster hahaha
My favorite is the basic pork nikuman. It was great that where ever I went in the country, I could find a nikuman. And I went to some pretty off the wall, rural places while there. Miss it a lot. Love that you are sharing this with the world.
My toddler simply adores you Martina. Whenever we watch something from your channel, he always claps and says Hi Hi Hi and tries to fist bump the screen when he sees you. He laughs at Simon's antics and kept saying wow wow when Simon would shove his half of the bun in his mouth. Thank you both for the awesomeness
I use to buy the most amazing vegan steam buns in Australia at a local small market that were hand made by a lovely lady from Japan but her business didn’t last 😔 and I’ve never found a steam bun that’s ever compared since
I think I am drooling! I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I have been binge-watching your videos ever since. Love your videos! You guys are so fun and inspiring.
Hi Simon and Martina. Thank you both for all that you do! Your videos are part of my ladder! I really appreciate all that you two do each day. Thank you so much for bringing the happy into my life!
Haha that’s funny because our “nikuman” in Hawaii are called “manapua”. And the best manapua are from the Hawaii 7-elevens.😂 the masters of steamed buns!
I have only been watching for two years but can say I have enjoyed EVERY SINGLE VIDEO I've seen! Thank you for lifting my spirits and encouraging me to keep building my ladder (: love you both!!
You guys are the best food reviewers on youtube!! Everything thing you recommend, makes my eyes glow up and my mouth water. I loved the replay shot of the steamed bun being torn open. So satisfying 😍 I appreciate all the work you put into your videos.
Your earmuffs even look like buns! This is it. The day I step into Japan I'm not vegetarian anymore because I need to eat all the buns and dumplings. I need it. Great video! I love when you guys get distracted by puppies.
This all looks so insanely delicious. Now I want to film a baozi extravaganza video where I live in China, lol! (JK, I actually just want to go to Japan and eat all of the Pizzaman..)
Finally made it to Japan last week for vacation. Absolutely loved it and made it to some of the spots you guys made videos on. Only stayed in Tokyo but your recommendations made my trip worth while.
Today was my worst day. I didn't get the job, the traffic was horrible, I'm broke, I haven't eaten anything today, but when I saw your video notification... omg thank you for brighten up my day. Maybe you don't know how much it means to me, but well, thank you Simon and Martina :)
Can't believe I spent a semester in Japan and never had any buns from the convenient store! Will have to try some whenever I end up back there. Thanks for sharing =) Vicariously excited for your website update, nothing better than a fresh start and simplification!
Hi simon and Martina! Can you do a video on where to go in certain cities in Japan when you only have 1-4 days to visit? For example, Tokyo in 2 days, etc. I'd really like to visit!
I'm going back to Japan in February for vacation during Lunar New Year...and you are making me INSANELY excited for the convenience stores! They are seriously so much better than Korean ones, and I can't wait to eat everything again.
😂😂😂 your videos make me so happy. My hubby always knows when your new posts come out because he'll hear my big belly laughs from across the house 😅. This particular video brings back very vivid happy childhood memories of making homemade steamed buns with my mom ❤️ I enjoy watching your reactions as you test each fluffy puffy piping hot bun, super jelly we don't have access to such delectable eats here in Detroit 😓 when I get to enjoy a homemade steamed bun, I carefully savor each bite like Martina... but I really want to stuff my face like Simon 😂 thanks for all the laughs & inspiration 😘
Your videos are such a highlight in my day. I've been watching for so long and along with all the awesome insight i just love the interactions you have with each other! Adorable!
It has either ground meat or chunks of ham depending on the conbini! If you ever need us to eat things for you in order to find out if they contain meat, we will make the noble sacrifice for you. 😫
Tough life in Japan for a vegetarian. Almost everything contains a dashi consisting of kombu and bonito (tuna) The problem is, dashi contains bonito isn't taught of as "meat" and you will ask if a food contains meat they will still tell you no even though they used a bonito based dashi to prepair it. Not to be malicious mind you, It's just not typically thought of that way. The situation has improved a lot in the last 5+ years with a lot of vegetarian options in the big cities. It is still touch and go outside of a major city. Be on the lookout for "Shojin Ryori" style Buddhist cooking / food. It''s almost always vegetarian friendly as the dashi does not contain fish and for you vegans, Shojin Ryori does not typically contain eggs or dairy.
It was probably cooked into the sauce. Just like much of Japanese cuisine, where the dashi contains fish (and often int listed as an ingredient. Actually, if you freeze frame at 3:25 you can see it contains Wheat, Soybean, chicken, pork, beef and gelatin. @PeachMilky all the ingredients are posted on the glass, if you are looking at something and you see 肉 it contains meat. In this case 鶏肉 (chicken) 豚肉 (pork) & 牛肉 (beef) the gelatin might be more tricky as it probably won't always be clearly listed, but it is ゼラチン and as I'm sure you know it is made from animal products. It even has a picture of a cute little piggy on the label.
I laughed sfm at Martina eating the cheese ahahahha. followed by TERRIFYING DINOSAUR NOISE as Simon crams the whole thing into his mouth. Reminds me of my man. lmao. My beautiful, wonderful garbage can-chan of a man.
Simon and Martina kimchi with beef and pork with chees and with pepper and garlic. dont know if those are the exact spices my mom used but i guess uk where i get my buns from ;3
Simon one-shotting these buns makes me so happy ^_^ (this is my first time commenting on your videos- I've been following you guys since your teaching days in Korea!)
Simon and Martina, I've been subscribed since 2013. The last time I remember commenting on one of your videos was...2013. After hearing you guys talk recently about how much you love to interact with people in the comments, I realized that I want to be a little more involved in the Nasty community. :D I think I'll try to comment on new videos and livestreams from now on. For now, I just want to say a big HELLO to the both of you and I hope you find more wonderful hand-warming foods in Japan this winter. ☺
This makes me so freaking happy to read. I'm gonna pin this comment. Thank you for going out of your way to leave a comment. It means a lot to us :D
took the words out of my mouth :)
Me paso lo mismo!!!, ahora trato de participar más activamente en los comentarios gracias a ese video =D
I couldn't agree more :) so inspired to be more involved in the nasty community.
Same! I thought to myself, why haven’t I commented more? I’ve been watching for years and only commented once to complain about no more Korean music updates. So far my commenting track record is bad 😅
My 2 month old son has had such a rough time sleeping until we found your videos, your voices and positivity put him right to sleep! As an overly exsusted mom I thank you so much.
I have trouble sleeping too, and I found out that it's so much easier to fall asleep on their podcasts!
Maddie calling haha I always do that with Jenna and Julien's Twitch stream videos :)
i thought i was the only one! eat your sushi is my favourite to fall asleep too. the positivity really helps my anxiety and its something nice and fun to fall asleep too
Try ASMR!! Saved my life for the past 10 yrs. :)
Martina: “I need to feed my big boy!”
Simon: *“AUGH!”*
Why can't convenience stores in the U.S. have this sort of deliciousness? All we get are mushy sandwiches and overcooked taquito things and plastic nacho cheese sauce...
I just don't get why our quick bit foods are so lacking. Makes me happy when I do find an asian bakery, but boy do they keep their location secreat
you might find them on yelp?
The only thing worth eating are the baked foods at QUik Trip
This is why I miss the 7/11 in Hawaii. We get manapua which is the same thing as a nikuman basically. Not much variety but my fav flavor is char siu. There's also these pork dumpling things I forget the word for them, lil bentos and spam musubi. I'm so sad when I step into a 7/11 now.
Listentoyourheart You're talking about pork shumai! And yes, 7/11 in Hawaii does have great choices for quick foods. Char siu manapua is always a solid choice!
Seeing Simon stuff half a pizza man into his mouth and not choke was both horrifying and fascinating.
Lol hahaha
it was actually quite amazing for me. hahahaha
How about gross and disgusting?
@@raizelm1578 How so?

We even have a couple of Family Marts in NYC and they still don’t compare to the ones in Japan. :(
hatshepsutxlll I used to think 7/11 in the US wasn’t that bad, but then I realized 7/11 on the US Mainland is miserable compared to Hawaii ones.
Amy He they’re a bit closer to Japan (7-11 HQ). Probably closer to the Japanese standard out there.
OnlyDoniaUKnow It’s honestly kind of hard to pinpoint why we have a similar 7/11 culture to Japan.

IM DYING OF LAUGHTER. Just stuffing the entire piece in his mouth. "will eat anything, folks!"
I love seeing you both smile. You are a couple so full of joy and love. You are an inspiration for your subscribers. Keep smiling people and happy new year. To a new year full of lovely dogs

I dont know why but this is still probably one of my favorite videos from this channel
This one and the weird Korean pizza video, la crême de la crême 🤣👌

Hey guys! I've been following you for years (taught in Busan and used your videos to survive!!!) I was wondering if you guys have any plans to write a book about your experiences? I think your humor would translate fantastically to print and I know your fans would love it!!!
They sometimes dont let you buy the steamed buns because theyve just been put in the steamer display thign and its not warm enough!
This is not fair. First, my local Japanese restaurant was out of steamed buns today, and now this video. I'M BEING MOCKED. lol
Aleksandra Miglowiec Oh noooooo! haha that’s just cruel
Oh wow the coincidence 😂😂
“This splitting up half a bun bullshhh!” So hilarious!

Nothing better than a soft steamy bun! They don't sell fresh steamed buns here in the states, but we get a whole bag of frozen buns from our local Asian store and then steam them ourselves. Leek filling ones are the best!
And omg Martina your nails are so so cute!!
"The police were called and apperently he is just hungry." Lol I am literally dying😂😂😂😂
How can the thumbnail alone make me hungry??
I interrupted a three-day Bleach watching binge the second this notification popped up. Y'all are my favorites! Much love from Texas
from texas too!:)
How is Bleach? Would you recommend?
It is quite the commitment (almost 400 episodes) and has quite a few filler episodes. Overall though, if you're looking for something to take up time, its worth a watch! Its a classic!
I was about to go to sleep but I couldn't resist a video about buns.
I'm rewatching this today because it was super hard for me. Watching your videos always makes me so happy! Thank you for your amazing content
I feel like you guys have put throughout the years (been following you since you were living in that tiny, tiny apartment in korea) the best content i've seen in youtube. I just wanna say thank you so much for all these years of entertainment, learning and encouragement from you experiences abroad and also about your own personal issues. I really hope to keep watching you in the future and hope you never give up on youtube. Love you guys.
That's a rooster, the top part is called a comb and the "upside down heart" part is called a wattle.
I wish I found this channel before my week in Japan! I think we did okay regardless. We had convenient store buns almost every day, hehe. I really liked the mint yogurt water I accidentally bought. The flavored water video was the first Simon and Martina I discovered 😊 I love seeing familiar things in your videos
I miss steam buns so much! I lived most of my life in Asia and now I'm in Brazil and I bought some buns in São Paulo Japan Town and shared (though begrudgingly) with my husband and now I think I created a monster hahaha
Nadine SilverSparrow 😂
My favorite is the basic pork nikuman. It was great that where ever I went in the country, I could find a nikuman. And I went to some pretty off the wall, rural places while there. Miss it a lot. Love that you are sharing this with the world.
Love your food segments, every time it's delicious and mouthwatering!
Simon and Martina bringing a much needed smile to my face today :) Thank you guys for helping me build my ladder
Thank you for the lovely comment!
Nice buns
And I'm not talking about the food
Ohoooo nastyyyy~ :D
I adore you weirdos so so much. Thanks for the shot of happy I needed it today
Ok, if I ever go to Japan, I gotta do a steamed bun run. Maybe I gotta make it a 2018 resolution....
My toddler simply adores you Martina. Whenever we watch something from your channel, he always claps and says Hi Hi Hi and tries to fist bump the screen when he sees you. He laughs at Simon's antics and kept saying wow wow when Simon would shove his half of the bun in his mouth.
Thank you both for the awesomeness
I use to buy the most amazing vegan steam buns in Australia at a local small market that were hand made by a lovely lady from Japan but her business didn’t last 😔 and I’ve never found a steam bun that’s ever compared since
We had some steam buns in our Melbourne video. I'm sure they don't compare to what you had, but those were pretty good as well!
Simon and Martina 😊❤️🌈
I love how Canadian y'all sounded right before the purin bun. Super cute :)
Finally made it!
I think I am drooling! I just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I have been binge-watching your videos ever since. Love your videos! You guys are so fun and inspiring.
Hi Simon and Martina. Thank you both for all that you do! Your videos are part of my ladder! I really appreciate all that you two do each day. Thank you so much for bringing the happy into my life!
Simon, you need to eat breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day. (Aside from second breakfast)
Heather McC yeah but what about elevenses? 😲
Haha that’s funny because our “nikuman” in Hawaii are called “manapua”. And the best manapua are from the Hawaii 7-elevens.😂 the masters of steamed buns!
Simon: (forces Martina to give the last piece of her half to him)
Also Simon: DoN't EaT mY cHeEsE!!!1!
I have only been watching for two years but can say I have enjoyed EVERY SINGLE VIDEO I've seen! Thank you for lifting my spirits and encouraging me to keep building my ladder (: love you both!!
You guys are the best food reviewers on youtube!! Everything thing you recommend, makes my eyes glow up and my mouth water. I loved the replay shot of the steamed bun being torn open. So satisfying 😍
I appreciate all the work you put into your videos.
i just finish eating. Now I`m hungry again :((
Your earmuffs even look like buns! This is it. The day I step into Japan I'm not vegetarian anymore because I need to eat all the buns and dumplings. I need it. Great video! I love when you guys get distracted by puppies.
This all looks so insanely delicious. Now I want to film a baozi extravaganza video where I live in China, lol! (JK, I actually just want to go to Japan and eat all of the Pizzaman..)
Pizzaman = pizzaiolo or delivery people?
Those little pizza buns they were eating! :) 🍕
Finally made it to Japan last week for vacation. Absolutely loved it and made it to some of the spots you guys made videos on. Only stayed in Tokyo but your recommendations made my trip worth while.
Steam buns are so cute!! The little swirly shape is just 10/10!!
All the buns so tasty, but I felt so sad watching you tear apart the adorable rooster
xD the rooster was so cute
I just can't imagine the decorations on the chicken tasting like anything else other than icing...
Ha! Actually it was made from the same bun but it was a bit rubbery 🐙
Simon and Martina ah okay! I was wondering how they could do cute decorations on something that's savory haha
It's probably rubbery because they have to mix it longer to add the coloring
"I'm hungry with the split the bun bullshh!"I feel you, man. Thanks for another great video:)
Today was my worst day. I didn't get the job, the traffic was horrible, I'm broke, I haven't eaten anything today, but when I saw your video notification... omg thank you for brighten up my day. Maybe you don't know how much it means to me, but well, thank you Simon and Martina :)
Can't believe I spent a semester in Japan and never had any buns from the convenient store! Will have to try some whenever I end up back there. Thanks for sharing =) Vicariously excited for your website update, nothing better than a fresh start and simplification!
I love my buns steamed!
Hi simon and Martina! Can you do a video on where to go in certain cities in Japan when you only have 1-4 days to visit? For example, Tokyo in 2 days, etc. I'd really like to visit!
My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun
I'm going back to Japan in February for vacation during Lunar New Year...and you are making me INSANELY excited for the convenience stores! They are seriously so much better than Korean ones, and I can't wait to eat everything again.
I'm having a really hard day so I'm watching all the videos that make me smile. Thanks guys.
This is too cute to eat
Is 7-11 a magical wonderland in Japan? Nothing that tasty lives in North American 7-11s.
Mostly food poisoning
They have steamed buns similar to the chicken and curry ones in Hawaiian 7-11s (called manapuas). :)
Well all convenience stores in Japan pretty much have the same quality more or less.
Omg i love buns! But they're so expensive and hard to find here! ;-;
Love you guys!
😂😂😂 your videos make me so happy. My hubby always knows when your new posts come out because he'll hear my big belly laughs from across the house 😅. This particular video brings back very vivid happy childhood memories of making homemade steamed buns with my mom ❤️ I enjoy watching your reactions as you test each fluffy puffy piping hot bun, super jelly we don't have access to such delectable eats here in Detroit 😓 when I get to enjoy a homemade steamed bun, I carefully savor each bite like Martina... but I really want to stuff my face like Simon 😂 thanks for all the laughs & inspiration 😘
Your videos are such a highlight in my day. I've been watching for so long and along with all the awesome insight i just love the interactions you have with each other! Adorable!
Does the 711 Pizza Bun contain meat? I think already know the answer but...wishful vegetarian thinking haha
It has either ground meat or chunks of ham depending on the conbini! If you ever need us to eat things for you in order to find out if they contain meat, we will make the noble sacrifice for you. 😫
Yaaayyyyy 2 of my favoret youtubers interacting!!!! Il never wash my eyes again!! Lolo this was lovely. Thanks :)
Tough life in Japan for a vegetarian. Almost everything contains a dashi consisting of kombu and bonito (tuna) The problem is, dashi contains bonito isn't taught of as "meat" and you will ask if a food contains meat they will still tell you no even though they used a bonito based dashi to prepair it. Not to be malicious mind you, It's just not typically thought of that way. The situation has improved a lot in the last 5+ years with a lot of vegetarian options in the big cities. It is still touch and go outside of a major city. Be on the lookout for "Shojin Ryori" style Buddhist cooking / food. It''s almost always vegetarian friendly as the dashi does not contain fish and for you vegans, Shojin Ryori does not typically contain eggs or dairy.
7i's own Japanese website says it contains milk, wheat, soy and beef. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It was probably cooked into the sauce. Just like much of Japanese cuisine, where the dashi contains fish (and often int listed as an ingredient. Actually, if you freeze frame at 3:25 you can see it contains Wheat, Soybean, chicken, pork, beef and gelatin. @PeachMilky all the ingredients are posted on the glass, if you are looking at something and you see 肉 it contains meat. In this case 鶏肉 (chicken) 豚肉 (pork) & 牛肉 (beef) the gelatin might be more tricky as it probably won't always be clearly listed, but it is ゼラチン and as I'm sure you know it is made from animal products. It even has a picture of a cute little piggy on the label.
I laughed sfm at Martina eating the cheese ahahahha. followed by TERRIFYING DINOSAUR NOISE as Simon crams the whole thing into his mouth. Reminds me of my man. lmao. My beautiful, wonderful garbage can-chan of a man.
I relate to that chicken bun
What's comforting and heart-warming more than steamed buns?
> Simon and Martina's videos.
My fiancé are back again watching your amazing videos after work ! The best way to end the night ❤️
another video of "ohmaigawd I need this right now!!" until I remember that this deliciousness is about 10.000km away from me-
NOTIFICATION SQUAD! What do you put in your buns? And I mean food buns not a sexual pun, you Nasty you...
