Hello there! Yes, it’s a very popular fish in the UK and in Europe. It might have a slightly strong fishy taste for some people, but if it’s cooked in certain ways it tastes fantastic, doesn’t it?😋

I hear you, Frederick. Natto is definitely not the most visually appealing food, but it's surprisingly tasty. Thanks for watching! 😋

Hello there, Frederick!✨ Yes, ASAHI make quite a broad range of products ranging from beverages, supplements, baby formula, yeast products, jams and many more. I guess they've been buying up a lot of European breweries in recent years and trying hard to build up their business portfolio. These healthy snack bars actually tasted really good and I'd highly recommend them as a cheap, nutritious snack for the busy traveller or businessperson. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you're enjoying the build up to Christmas and New Year. I probably won't be eating so healthily over the next few weeks. Cheers!😋

@ - like the Swiss company Nestlé.

That's so true! Great comparison.

Hello there, Frederick. Great to hear from you and sorry to hear that you've been sick and busy. I hope you're feeling better now and looking forward to the festive season. 'Twice' have been a huge K-pop idol group in recent years, so I thought it would be fun to try out these collaborative sweet snacks. They were indeed すごくおいしい. Have a great week!☺️

I'm delighted to hear you liked the look of it. There are so many weird and wonderful tinned fish products to choose from in Japan.😋

Hello there! Thanks so much for watching and for your feedback. I have considered making full food reviews as shorts, but I really enjoy making full-length videos for them. In all honesty it's probably slowing down the growth of my channel so as time goes on I may decide to veer in that direction, but I'll see how things go for now. Thanks again for the valuable input - very much appreciated.👍🏼

7-11 in Asia have so many new products coming out all the time. Their product development teams are in an extremely competitive market. Great for us consumers, though.

Ah, yes the pizzas in Japan have curry, miso and even natto on them. I guess anything goes. Actually the curry sauce, potato and mayonnaise 'pizza' is one of my favorites at the pizza chain called 'Pizza La.'😋

I completely agree! Once you get over the visuals and the odd smell, it tastes really nice - after a couple of tries.😋

Hi there, Frederick. It was definitely one of the most filling things that I've tried recently, but full of flavor. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers!😋

Thanks so much! I hope everyone will do so.👍🏼

They're super easy and you can have an 'authentic' Japanese curry in the comfort of your own home in a very short time. Thanks so much for watching, Frederick.☺️

Thanks so much for tuning in, Veronica. Natto is definitely not for everyone but the more you get used to the taste, the more delicious it becomes.✨

Hello there, Rolf! I guess it's one of reasons Japan consistently ranks high on the list of countries with the longest life expectancy. The last time I checked, I think it was something like 85.2. Thanks so much for watching!😋

Hi there, Frederick. Thanks so much for letting me know what other channels you're following. I just checked out tontantin's channel and was fascinated by his style. I've actually never heard of him before, so thanks for sharing. I can hopefully learn a few things from him. Cheers!👍🏼

You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for watching and for your request.😋

Ha! Ha! Yes, dealing in the most addictive thing in the world - tasty food! I’m quite sure the customs officer will let you in, no questions asked. “I’m addicted to Lawson’s onigiri and I need my fix.”Thanks so much for watching!😋

I hope you'll have a chance to visit Japan sometime soon and try out some of the amazing things on offer. They're dropping tons of new products every single week.😋

Hello there, Frederick. Definitely not the time to be on a diet with these pastries around - very dangerous. Thanks so much for watching!☺️

Thanks so much for the comment. I'll give it a try!😋

Hello there, Frederick. Yes, Kappabashi is a great place to buy all kinds of food-related stuff. Actually some of those food samples are incredibly realistic, but they can cost a lot of money depending on the quality. Thanks so much for watching!😋

@@KonbiniJapan - I know that the fake food are not cheap - but I think that it is a good souvenir to bring home because it won’t be thrown away like many other souvenirs.

That's a great point. I bought a gyoza keyring quite recently that was actually really realistic and very cool.😎

Hi there, Andrew. Yes, they've really come a long way especially in the last couple of years. Some foods just taste better with beer, don't they? I'd honestly prefer to use 'real' beer in the videos, but that's just the way it works out with me having to drive home and all that. Cheers!🍺

Hi there! Yes, they're definitely some of the best traditional snacks around. The smoked quail eggs were also pretty amazing and went really well with beer.😋

Thanks so much!✨ Some weird kind of foodstuff this week, but I hope it helped to give an insight into what everyday people are snacking on with their beer in Japan. I always appreciate you taking the time to make a comment. Have a great week! ☺️

Ochazuke is so delicious, isn't it?😋

Hello there, Frederick! ✨ Salt & Vinegar are one of my favorites, too. I like the ones with a nice strong flavor. The 'Nori Shio' ones in the video were the best ones this time around as they just have a lovely subtle balance of umami and saltiness. Perfect!😋

Hello there, Frederick!✨ Yes, I ate the whole thing - lots of calcium in the head. The eggs or the 'roe' are the main thing with this particular fish. These 7-11 ones are the cheaper version of the real 'shishamo' which are very expensive, but taste amazing.😋

Wow! Thanks so much. I'm really pleased to hear you've been enjoying the videos. Have a great day!😋

@@KonbiniJapan we are in Tokyo at the moment. Today is skytree day 😀❤️👍🏻

Tokyo Skytree is a great place to visit, I've been there a few times. It looks like it's going to be a hot one today, but temperatures will go down tomorrow. We're all looking forward to the cooler weather at long last. Have a great day and enjoy the food!!✨

@@KonbiniJapan yes warm 🥵 30c thank goodness for air con .

That's so nice of you to say - thank you so much! It's great to hear you're enjoying the reviews.😋

Hello there! Thanks so much for watching the videos. Canned foods in Japan are great with beer or sake, and the quality is just incredible. It's interesting to hear your story about how you used to buy them as money was running low before payday. Even when we have enough money, they are a tasty treat!😋

Hey there, Frederick! It's 'Tsukimi' season so there seems to be an egg on everything right now. I'm a huge fan of eggs, so there are so many amazing choices. Thanks so much for watching and for taking the time to comment, as always. Cheers!😋

Me, too, Frederick! But it doesn't hurt to watch..😅

That's a great idea Frederick, but I don't think anyone is ready to take fitness advice from someone like me.😅 Hope you enjoyed the video!!✨

Hi there, Frederick! ☺️The Doraemon t-shirt is pretty crazy, isn't it? Just like Doraemon, I'm a huge fan of dorayaki in any shape or form - such a great dessert. Thanks so much for watching and have a great day!!✨
