All-You-Can-Eat Japanese BBQ Buffet for Introverts

Eating All-You-Can-Eat BBQ buffet in Japan made for one person

[@Kyouno]

Something tells me dancing bacons is aware a lot of introverts watch their videos recently so that’s why they included the introvert part in the title. They really care about their introvert viewers!

[@HawaiiFoodAndFun]

Introverts Assemble! $15.37 is an amazing price for a Yakiniku buffet IN Japan too! I love DancingBacons. They inspired me to make my Hawaii FOOD Channel too. (I just uploaded a CHANTILLY PANCAKE video) I only have 700 subs, so I'm trying to work harder and harder to earn those subscribers. But the process is enjoyable and my only regret at the moment is I wish I had more time to make more videos. (Still work a 40 hr week and got littles to take care of). Aloha from Hawaii!

[@catsandfriends5918]

I was just about to comment this! I'm an introvert so I am indeed happy to see a lot of these POV videos.

[@reeses_unicorn]

Seriously! I love them recommending places that would be great for those of us who have social anxiety. :)

[@kidrobot.]

nah, stop imagining things

[@IlluminaNyx]

​@@kidrobot.They have several content like this so I don't think they would go out their way to make these videos otherwise

[@AdmiralOfTheAir]

The music selection has me cracking up 😂 “Hey boss, what should music we play for the dining area?” “Idk just play the top 5 tracks in America” “Sure, what years would be best?” “Idk just all of them”

[@oppapleasenoticeme7363]

Can you name the music playing around 4:30? It was really familiar to me but i cant remember the name

They even play the barbie girl song 😂😂😂

[@iby99]

Even The final Countdown by Europe at 5:49 🤣

[@mmetzger83]

They have the American radio station playing for your dining experience. It would definitely make visiting Westerners feel more comfortable eating there, as we love being alone, hearing music we know in a foreign country, and all you can eat anything.

[@lkiing]

From the 80's and 90's too... LOL

[@kaijpp]

whats the point of making people feel more at home if you are going on holiday? the whole point is for a new experience with new things youve never heard or tried lol

[@MrSonnyfy]

because some people are there long term and get homesick?@@kaijpp

[@mmetzger83]

@kilo1694 I don't disagree, but you can't tell me being in a foreign country for a period of time, going into a restaurant and hearing music from where you're from makes you appreciate being away more.

[@lkiing]

I don’t think they are doing this for the tourists and Americans. I think they’re doing this for Japanese people maybe they also got a cheap tape to do this. I know when my dad had a restaurant you just use whatever music is the cheapest 😁😁

[@perfectcrayon9991]

Nirvana in the first 5min was a nice touch. Always love the videos and I hope everyone who sees this has/had an amazing day! Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@commoguru]

And Jamiroquai too, seems like a chill spot for a bite to eat.

[@apemancommeth8087]

👏🎼🙌🎼😀🎼🤟

[@apemancommeth8087]

They had a 90s music delight there, reminded me of the “Big Shiny Tunes” cd that came out every year throughout the 90s! Also foo fighters was played 😂👍

[@r10101]

Compared to their previous visits the music here was not something i was expecting. Pretty neat though.

[@timvandijknl]

That must have been some fragrant beef... because it smelled like teen spirit 😏

[@defectivegoat5712]

I would never leave this place. Good tunes while eating yummy food. They'd have to force me out!

I think they tunes loud music to get people out quick…but the effect is backfired for ears like us…😂

[@leila13dnd]

Hard same and the fact that it has an all you can eat option is so good!

[@MaulyMayhem]

I love that DB mentions our fear of eating eggs raw 😂. Guess enough people commented about how eggs in the states are definitely not treated the same as they are in Japan. Also that music selection is all over the place, but some fire choices for American songs!

[@pinkmonkeybird2644]

I don’t really get the egg phobia; lots of Americans love runny yolks, myself included. But I’m fortunate to have friends who have chickens as pets, plus I live near a humane farm that sells free ranging chicken and duck eggs. I know they are free ranging because you see them in the fields and ponds. So I eat semi-raw eggs all the time. Or onsen eggs.

[@badonpurpose8930]

@@pinkmonkeybird2644 you say you don't get it but you also mentioned a lot of things that make you more likely to trust eggs lol. i've gotten salmonella at least 3 or 4 times from undercooked/raw eggs. that's why they always taught you growing up to not eat raw cookie dough (though pillsbury makes it safe to eat now i guess). commercial egg producers do not care about testing their chickens or eggs for salmonella. same reason you don't eat chicken that isn't 100% cooked. beef cooked rare is fine (with beef you're worried about e.coli, and you can get it to the temperature necessary to neutralize it before the beef is cooked all the way through), but you have to completely cook chicken to kill the salmonella. but raw chicken is the same as raw eggs in japan. they're rigorously tested and taken care of to avoid illness (or being a carrier).

[@jade_ottsel]

@@badonpurpose8930 it’s actually not just eggs you have to watch out for in raw cookie dough; it’s also the flour, flour is raw and can contain e.coli, that’s why if you make raw cookie dough for consumption you must heat treat the flour!

[@pjs232]

@@badonpurpose8930 Yeah, American food safety standards are a lot lower than they are in most of the other 1st world countries (America tends to prioritise corporate profit over anything else- and safety is expensive for the producers). I'm from the UK, and when they talked about lowering our food safety standards a few years ago so they could import cheap American chickens (which don't meet our standards, or anywhere in the EU for that matter) there was a big backlash from the public and it never went ahead. If you look up the stats, the standards really do make a big difference to the levels of food poisoning around so hopefully America will wise up at some point.

[@Paradoxical-Enigma]

@@pjs232 Yeah i find it funny how we're the one with the stereotype for having bad food and yet their food standards are almost none-existent

[@m0torheads]

A rainy afternoon with bacons, never fails to make me smile.

[@jaydoggy9043]

In some places it seems like a strange societal taboo to eat at a restaurant alone and I think that's a real shame. I think people should be able to go to restaurants by themselves to have some good food and have a nice time on their own whenever they feel like without the judging eyes of others. I appreciate a restaurant like this and thank you DancingBacons for sharing it with us.

[@leila13dnd]

Second this! For me it's mostly my own social anxiety because the tables are always set for multiple people, so sitting alone always makes me feel like I'm taking space away from other customers that they could seat there. Luckily I usually manage to tell myself that that's stupid and that if I wasn't sitting there the table would just be empty.

[@KitsuneHB]

So true. :/ I'm from Germany and it's uncommon to eat alone somewhere. It's okay for lunch and if you pretend you go back to work after the meal. But in the evening? Or on sunday alone in a café? "Better stay at home, freak!"

[@aohige]

It's mostly an European thing from my experience. No one gives a hoot in the USA if you go to a restaurant alone, and same in most of Asia.

Please do more of these restaurants for solo diners. They look very interesting and there are those of us who are introverts who would appreciate this. Thanks!

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

I want to see one that has a booth with a door, like the Japanese use for travelers (to rest or work, while they wait).

[@hyperactivehyena]

The music selection is really funny, lol. Like an awesome bar XD And- as someone who once had a panic attack in an all-you-can-eat place, I'd absolutely love this place!

[@stevenv.6275]

I have had hand tremors my entire life and it has kept me from trying many things because of self embarrassment and making others uncomfortable. I would love love if we had this in the US. This video made me feel extreme calm and I cannot thank you enough for posting it. Not just for people like me, but for anyone who would love to enjoy a fine meal without the pity stares they would get for eating alone. Many thanks.

[@errigour_original]

Grilled onions makes them sweater you said but i want to tell you even microwaving them to the perfect texture is really good. I learned that not wanting to pan fry my onions one day and figured you can microwave store bought veggies so i tried onions. One of my favorite life hacks. Chop the onions in bite size pieces one ore two and for two onions I say around 6 minutes in 1000 kilowatt microwave. Maybe longer if they aren't perfectly cooked. then you can add them to dishes like baking sausage with microwaved peppers or with a chicken or with shaved beef.

With regards to the egg on rice- if it's intimidating try it with just the yolk first. It's not slimy at all unlike the full egg and gives you all the same creamy deliciousness.

Hi dancingbacons! I've been a long time fan of yours, you and solotaveljapan are the reason for my addiction to takoyaki LoL. Thank you for doing all your videos! My favorites are the long outdoor market videos showing your wife's reaction to foods, and the one involving hot food vending machines, which we do not have in Tennessee USA. If you ever come to my area I have to take you to waffle house (a southern restaurant chain known for fast greasy food, like hash browns covered in chili and cheese, or to one of our country restaurants and have you try biscuits with sausage gravy on top. (The gravy is made with the grease and fat from grilling the sausage,, then mixed with a little milk, flour, and salt, and eaten for breakfast) the biscuits are like ones from KFC. But yeah. Thank you again for all your hard work and dedication to your videos! You really have opened my eyes to new food and the culture there. Oh PS I sooooo wanna try prawn cracker made fresh! I hope you and your family are happy healthy and well! Sincerely Night 😊
