[@laksirigunasekera6878]

i am not a fan of people calling mark a fake.. HE IS NOT! because he explained the sri lankan cuisine, which is where I am from , exactly how it tasted.. so he knows his pallet. and he does speak honestly.. you do your thing man!!.. ignore the tasteless haters

[@dilantharajapaksha1786]

Yes i agree

I really do love how you've added these vlog style adventures into the food segment of the videos Mark!

[@seemoore57]

Thank you so much for taking to places I never will go. Thank you for showing the names and pronunciations of the dishes you eat, with a full description. I am happy you get to live such a lovely life. Thank you

[@noone-cb3jm]

You never will go? Who knows..

[@perezster]

I don't want to read as a cheesy but, thank you, thank you, thank you. You're videos are inspiring, inspiring in the sense that one immediately would want to take a flight to Asia to become completely immersed in all it has to offer. Thanks, again, for sharing such original information. Good luck on all your endeavors.

[@ka-boom2083]

Hola

[@syncconan5651]

for the people who're saying its not safe to eat raw chicken...Japanese restaurants, especially those that specialise in chicken will always use sashimi grade chicken for their sashimi , these chicken are not raised like those in us and are raised free range and organic and carefully monitored so they wont have bacteria or infections

[@MarkWiens]

+Sync Conan Excellent, that's great info, thank you for sharing.

[@akihirooyamada]

Correct! We also eat other raw meat as sashimi, like raw beef and others Of course It have to be super fresh, clean and trimmed only a few part tho

[@TheIDM123]

+akihiro oyamada frog sashimi as well XD

[@roro2k]

Exactly. Japan has much higher standards in raising animals such as chickens for food and eggs. Eating raw eggs in Japan is also normal. Unlike here in the US where the majority of our animals are grown & processed in crowded disease ridden factories. Salmonella poisoning in Japan is extremely rare.

[@justinetheasian]

+Sync Conan Exactly what I was thinking. Raw chicken at a sashimi restaurant in japan is much better than our mass produced salmonella infested mutated chicken here in the states lol

[@stoicpoetrywisdom]

Japan is hands down my favourite place to visit for a holiday. Amazing food, great culture and ammaaazziiinnngg food

It's almost like I am there with you on your trips but I am actually at home eating dinner watching you.

+Jim Griffin Thanks Jim

[@midala40]

OSAKA!!! I lived in IMAZATO for 14 years. I know Osaka, Kobe and Kobe very very well. Well nice lunch before your flight. Like the egg plant but ill pass on tilapia. I find it funny you got the center seat. Japan is the only country that has a center seat on a bus. lol you should have gone to 7/11 they are 24 hours and they serve hot food. not great but still good. If your going to eat raw chicken you can do it in Japan the part cooked chicken is sasami. The tofu with bonito and negi is yummy. Japanese fried chicken is the bomb. yes bonito moves when put on hot food and its shaved bonito. Loved the video. Pity I was not there I could show you Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto of some awesome places to eat.

[@MarkWiens]

+Midala40/ D and A's Food Review Oh cool to hear you lived in Japan for so long. Such a great food country. Do you go back to visit sometimes still?

[@midala40]

+Mark Wiens Good morning Mark,Ye I loved Japan still even today. Japan is such a great food country and is a great culinary adventure. Foods in Japan are very refined even in the most simplest food their. Flavor's can be very complexes in that country but that is what makes them such a neet place to visit. I plan to take my son there so he may see and taste japan as a whole. I am glad my son and his friend took up doing food reviews. Their reviews are basic but they are trying to get their ability to taste the flavors around them. they will get there one day. Yes I try to go back once in a while but mostly in passing but if I had a chance I would move back there in a heart beat. Next year my son and I will take over Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe ,Kyoto, Hiroshima yamaguchi and a few other places on our adventure. I will attempted to make a video Vlog of our complete trip. Will not be as pretty as your but it will a good way to enjoy the adventure.. God bless Mark

[@AnomieTrain]

I love Japan! There's something about walking around at 4:00 am in a city and not being afraid that someone is going to rob you...I was in Osaka last year--but mainly as a base for making day trips. I'm looking forward to this video series--maybe in the future I'll get to explore Osaka itself!

[@TheMadSocrates]

A place in San Diego periodically sells chicken sashimi and it's really, really good. A lot of care goes into making it safe and it's wonderful. Very reminiscent of scallop sashimi.

[@Ajs00]

The raw chicken was a major turn off. But your excitement towards food is always so humble and inviting. Awesome video once again Mark!!

How often does your mother in law roll her eyes at you when you eat?

Great video! I stumbled upon this randomly on youtube. I just cant stand this guy's face while he chews and then smiles. Especially with the fish. haha

[@Tomasjaguar]

boy you dont blink much haha. great videos! keep them coming!

[@ryand9642]

Hi Mark. I was looking up any vids you may have on your channel about Osaka as we're currently here also. We love your video of Tokyo and many other countries you've visited. Please keep posting more vids as we'd love to see more from you of Osaka. Hopefully bump into while we're here.

[@intetillganglig]

Is it safe to eat raw chicken? I always heard that it is dangerous to eat.

[@MarkWiens]

+intetillganglig Yah, I wasn't sure either, but it's quite common in Japan.

[@intetillganglig]

+Mark Wiens Ah oki. Looking forward to see your next meal! :D

[@aoao-uz3kq]

+Mark Wiens Although I am Japanese, I have never eaten raw chicken. I even didn't know some people eat them.

[@kevinp8108]

+intetillganglig Well, I'm sure we'll find out soon if Mark got sick from the raw chicken.

[@TheSpritz0]

+intetillganglig VERY dangerous, foul has a tremendous tendency to food-borne illnesses.

[@ithamarsmit9124]

oh man .....another vlogserie.....what a joy ...cant wait for the next episode. great video mark!!

[@MarkWiens]

+ithamar smit Thank you!

[@Pocketstash]

Woo Japan! Chicken Sashimi scares me- I think it's one of the few Japanese foods I'm not interested in trying lol.

[@the-a6585]

+pocketstash isn't it dangerous to eat raw chicken because of a bacteria in the chicken?

[@djjaewon]

+sunshifruit yay When it comes to Chicken Sashimi, these chickens are raised like kings. They only get the best stuff to eat, roam free, and live wild. So because of that, the meat is perfection. Bacteria is only immanent when you get poultry where chickens are raised all bunched up in a slaughterhouse full of chicken crap.

[@thetransplanter3337]

+sunshifruit yay YES!

[@k_______p]

+sunshifruit yay yes you can get salmonella from raw chicken but the chances are very low. but still thats why many people dont eat raw chicken

[@hashgmrs]

+djjaewon In the wild the bacteria and parasites active in chicken are still rampant. It isn't super safe consuming raw chicken at all.

[@midway241]

Great video Mark & Ling. I love unexpected & spontaneous adventures when traveling. Dwight looks like a fun travel companions.

[@nartecurb]

You are brave! Eating raw chicken here in the US is a death sentence.

[@arnonchi]

5:29 Your mother-in-law must be proud and love her son-in-law. I can feel that from the word "jaaaaa จ้าาาา" ...keep up the good works. 👍 👍

[@pignonMZ6]

Mark, you went from brave man to suicidal, I know those Japanese chickens aren't the same we have in Europe/USA, but still, it's probably the most dangerous meat to eat raw because Salmonella can survive for months in water. It's impossible to have a germ free environment from the egg to the plate, it's never safe, not anywhere in the world, that bacteria is no joke.

[@pignonMZ6]

+eagleeye929 Well that's the thing, it doesn't, in fact most of the time it comes from the kitchen itself. It's a matter of trust really, I would never trust anyone, anywhere to serve me raw chicken, nothing to do with hypochondria, don't push it thar far...

[@pignonMZ6]

+eagleeye929 Check salmonella on wikipedia, educate yourself and save me the trouble.

[@GeorgiaAndrea]

+LabourFan i think you got the wrong person. Did he ever mentioned GMO?

[@MysteriousBeingOfLight]

+pignonMZ6 Oh don't be such a hypochondriac.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source, that's your first mistake. So take your own advice and educate yourself.
