this is so chill, just watching 2 kindly men have a good time. greetings from Warnemünde, Germany

[@arnodobler1096]

Your German pronunciation is really impressive!

[@TabiEats]

Thanks!

[@JuancaLopV]

So happy to see Satoshi-san enjoying German beer 🍻

[@jensmoellenhoff]

I saw they were walking past the Cologne Beer Museum around the 7:40 mark in the video. The sign "Bier Museum" was quite visible right above the van on the right side of the street. They should have gone in there. Well, maybe they did. 😉

[@JuancaLopV]

[@vloplob]

@@jensmoellenhoff That place is really just a pub with a variety of beers. The name is a bit decieving.

[@MeAndMyPc]

I live close to Cologne, used to transit past the city each day on my way to university and saw the Cologne cathedral each day. It is such a common sight for me, so it never occured to me that it was that impressive to others! Btw, I had to laugh at the “Satoshi loves trains and he could spend literal hours and hours here” because with how often the Deutsche Bahn is cancelled or delayed, it is sadly a very real possibility to be stranded at the train station for hours... 😅 So happy to see you guys visit Germany, I hope you had a great time! 🥰

[@seebastian5834]

I always find it thrilling when people experience my homeland's culture - glad you enjoyed it! One time I was actually surprised to find a curry sauce quite similar to the ketchup-based currywurst sauces in Japan - in a (conveyor belt) sushi restaurant no less. It was topping a hambagu nigiri. Sure struck me as bizzarre. While sauces for currywurst are usually made in-house, if you can find a bottle of "Hela Curry-Gewürzketchup" in the supermarket, that works really well as a commercial solution for home use.

[@Nasengold]

Coming from the other side of the globe and having a good Sauerbraten for the first time in your life in a decent restaurant sounds like a really good experience.

[@ELi-cu]

Wow, I can't believe you two were in Germany! It is a pleasure to watch you discover and eat these typical German dishes. You are both so heartwarming and positive. Thank you for this great video!

[@kuroukodial1117]

Oh, you were in Germany?! I moved back from Northrhine-Westfalia to Saxony. Rievkooche is the thing I miss most, especially in christmas market season. There are potato pancakes in Saxony as well, but they taste different. You have to try thuringian sausages and thuringian potato dumplings. They are the best in all of Germany! By the way, original Rheinischer Sauerbraten is made of horse meat (but most restaurants use beef. I know a restaurantin Bonn, that uses the original reciept). And the tenderness of the Sauerbraten comes from marinating the meat for at least three days ( up to several weeks) in a marinade made of vinegar and several spices.

[@gacchan]

Satoshi's "wow" at the end! Amazing.

[@chicoportensozo]

That crispy potato pancake looks and sounds delicious!

[@laterreurrouge1917]

It actually is pretty nice. If you ever get the chance, try it :)

[@VolkerOtt]

This combination used in several dishes and called "heaven (apple) and earth (potatoes)"

[@WIDUKINDvonCOELLN]

Vielen Dank, für Euren (viel zu kurzen) Besuch meiner Heimatstadt Köln und dieses sehr gelungene Video!!! 😊❤ 私の故郷ケルンへの（あまりにも短い）訪問と、この大成功を収めたビデオをありがとうございました！ 😊❤

[@StellaTZH]

I've been to Cologne countless times, really love the city. The cathedral is just something else. No matter how many times you've seen it, it still floors you when you step out of the train station. It's hard to capture on pictures or video just how massive it is. Makes you feel so tiny.

[@JasSchMin]

ur in my hometown! koelsh beer is great on hot sunny days coz it so light and refreshing - can drink 10 of those lol. So happy to see u enjoy the food! Safe travels!!

[@laraq07]

Kirsch is cherries in German. Kir as in 'kir royale' refers to a liqueur (cassis) made with black currants.

[@superlynnie]

Kir Royal is such a retro drink.

[@laraq07]

@@superlynnie Still delicious. I have a bottle of creme de cassis in my drinks cabinet and sometimes treat myself to a kir royale with sparkling wine.

[@Scriptor13]

Your shots of the Cathedral really put it in perspective. I knew it was tall, but not _that_ tall! 😄 Wonderful architechture all around. I'm glad Satoshi got to watch the trains for a while--maybe next trip you can leave a love lock on the bridge. The food looked hearty. The crunch of the Reibekuchen was amazing. I bet the free one tasted extra yummy. 😆 Thank you both for another fun tour of a great European city and its food. 💖💖

[@sarahkorus994]

So happy you tried the food of Germany! I love potato dumplings, red cabbage, sauerkraut, and dark breads like rye and pumpernickel. Reminds me of what I used to eat on special occasions growing up since my family is primarily Polish and Czech. Also the beers are amazing!

[@user-vm4lr3hq8p]

You guys make us very proud! Frankfurt is my home town, you must try a very interesting speciality: "Frankfurter Grüne Soße". It is a sauce with at least 7 different herbs, it is said that Goethe liked it very much 😊The weekly market in the morning and the Kleinmarkthalle are definitely something for you! Have fun in Germany!

[@traceypotter7669]

Nest part of this was the bridge with you wanting to get a lock to prove your undying lobe for each other. Guys, you don't have to probe anything, its clear as day ❤❤

[@Ralesk]

1:43 oh the Groß St. Martin in the back :) My favourite building on Köln :)

[@beatepaul5814]

Halve Hahn can be translated as half chicken. Normally, it is served as a half Röggelchen (rhye roll) with cheese. Rumors say that a customer once asked „Kann ich noch ne halve Han“ in Kölsch (can I get another half). A half rotisserie chicken in German is Halbes Hähnchen

[@paulsmith380]

Your travel videos always make me hungry. My wife is German and she is cooking tonight. Sausage, fried potatoes and red cabbage washed down with German beer. Another great effort as usual! Best wishes to you and all your loved ones!!!

[@debracantrell1058]

Hi Shinichi and Satoshi good to see y'all l love your food hauls video awesome views The bridges that so nice the love y'all share take care yummie food 😘😘❤️👍💯🌈🙏😍🤩🥰🌹🌹

[@moc6897]

You two guys were well informed! There's nothing better on a cold day than leaving the central station, looking to the left to the Dome of Cologne, then looking foreward, going to the glas cabin, where the lady fries the potatoe cakes, buying three - plus apple sauce - and while eating this delicious food looking at the Dome and having a little chat with God the almighty ...

[@epixgaming8938]

Wow! So honored to have you here in Germany. Northern Germany here. My grandma who was originally from the Rheinland used to make a fantastic Sauerbraten 😋 Das Kölsch ging offensichtlich auch runter wie Wasser 😂

[@staceypalaszczuk]

Now I’m checking flights to Cologne 😂. Everything looked so delicious. Thanks for sharing!!

[@AynenMakino]

It's a lot of fun to see you explore places I've also been to! It brings back memories!

[@paula2651]

Satoshi since I was a child every day after school I’d make potato like the ones you had, I use a cheese grater to grate my potatoes and fry them up 😋

[@LalaliLalalooo]

You guys are so sweet! 😊 Loved your reaction to the food.

[@RSER808]

I loved this episode guys. Food choices were outstanding and looked so delicious. Look forward to more. Thank you

[@soldiercallboy]

Watching you enjoy the different meals really made me so hungry! Cologne really has amazing places to eat!

[@claassixclaassix9712]

Thank you, Guys. Always a pleasure to look your videos 😃❤❤❤

[@ericziqn7019]

You guys are so wholesome! ❤

[@janie7242]

Nice to know some of the tasty German foods, they looked very meaty and heavy. Quite the opposite of traditional lighter Japanese dishes. A culture exchange, this vlog was interesting and informative! Thank you! I Can not wait to travel back to Europe. 😋

[@gailsiangco5599]

Enjoy your travels ! Onolicious eats ! Mahalo for sharing ...so beautiful Cologne ,Germany !

[@timey1290]

The cathedral is indeed very impressive. I always love to check it out when I’m there. How good of you to order the Reibekuchen in German! The extra one is well deserved!! Pronunciation was spot on. Dennis loves them, mostly in the classic way with applesauce. For me, they are too greasy. Currywurst is my absolute favorite. I love to try the homemade sauces which are different at every vendor. Love to make it myself at home nowadays as well (but then vegetarian 😅). Kir Royale is actually a popular French drink. It is indeed with cherries. I would not say no to a Kölsch beer, haven’t had it in quite a while. Sauerbraten is indeed very famous and a local speciality. Dennis had the classic version with horse meat, but it’s very hard to find nowadays and people tend to dislike the thought of it. The sourness can be overwhelming but it’s a very special signature dish. The potato dumplings(Klöße) are amazing, always have a stash at home from Germany. 😅 It was so great to see you experience Cologne. Makes me crave a lot of yummy German food. Luckily, we will be in Munich next month where they have many other regional specialities. I would also love to join you on a German food trip one day!

[@tablescissors]

Humanity will probably never build anything like it again. Maybe one day the church will be rebranded by some Corporate name, like “Staples Stadium” *cough*

[@TabiEats]

We really enjoyed Cologne and would be awesome to visit Germany again together.

[@jackiejenkins4078]

Lovely sightseeing tour! Lots of amazing things to see and the food looked delicious!!! 😃😋❤

I miss German food! I'm so envious of your trip, everything looks delicious! Sauerbraten is one of my favorites. Also I love trains, too!

[@superdadv8181]

What a kind of sweet and authentic guys from japan! So glad, you've enjoyed the typical food from my home country! Please come back to germany some day! I enjoyed seeing that video a lot!❤

All I know is I have been following you too for the last 2 years and I can't believe how far you have come all over the world you are. Just everything to me and both make me smile and I love every time you go on a trip. You just take us on to the journey with you and it's always special thank you for sharing

[@qwert_yuiop7506]

thank you for this tour of cologne! went many years ago, loved my short time there. nearly died climbing the cathedral spire but had a great view of the city. glad you are enjoying all the unique sausages and bier in germany. i love riding/watching trains too - if you ever get to nuremberg, they have a great train museum. prost!

[@Enteressant17]

Seeing you guys going about our german food as i usually do with asian food delights me in a way i cannot really describe. Cheers from germany

[@magnolias646]

Yummy! Reibekuchen look like latkes (also with apple sauce or sour cream) in North America. The chocolate looks divine, and the beef with almond slivers looks really good! I liked Satoshi's "Wow..." at 18:18. Great food tour!

[@salembookworm]

Part of my family lives in Cologne and you guys gave a lot of tips for me to try once I'm back in July for the annual Pride Parade. I always go to the Früh Kölsch Restaurant and get the Heaven and Earth dish. It's my favorite. You should consider coming to the Pride Parade as well. It's amazing. :) Also: Your pronounciation is really not bad. ^_^

[@jujubi1050]

A short trip but you made the most of it! Everything looked delicious!

15:39 omg, one of the best dishes in germany... whenever Im unsure about what food to get in a restaurant, you can never go wrong with a nice sauerbraten.

[@WizardOfOss]

I'll be visiting Köln next week for a concert, and I see we stay close to the places you guys visited. I'm certainly gonna check them out!

Glad you had a great time in Köln.. would‘ve been fun to bump into you guys. Next time then ✌️

[@Alita-vv6xz]

So happy to see you enjoying Germany and our food. The potato pancakes or Reibekuchen (at my place, I live near Dortmund (50km away) and Warstein (where the Warsteiner Brewery is, it's just around the corner) we call them Kartoffelpuffer are very easy to make. For 4 Persons: 1000g rare peeled potatoes 2 eggs 2 onions 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon grounded black pepper 1 tsp. Lemon juice 1 dash of nutmeg Oil for the pan 20:25 Grind the potatoes into a sieve, after that press the water out and put the potatoes into a bowl. Grind the onions aswell into that bowl, put the eggs, salt, pepper, lemon juice and nutmeg into that bowl and mix it toghter with a wooden spoon. Heat up the Oil in a pan and give a tablespoon of the mass into the pan and flatten it out like it's 5mm till 8mm thick. Depends on how big the pan is (we can make 3 pancakes at once) wait till it's getting brown downside then flip it over to the other side till it's brown and ready are the potatoe pancakes serve it with apple sauce

[@videofreakcologne]

Love your channel, didnt realize you where in my home city, Rieevkooche 🥰 Kölsch and Sauerbraten, you did it right 👍 Greetings from Cologne 👋 One other Popular dish here , i dont sure you know, is "Himmel un Ääd" in German "Himmel und Erde" eng: "Heaven and Earth" its Mashed Potatoes, Applesauce and fried black pudding.

[@kerstineichler3160]

Nice to See that you like „ Rievkooche“ just like we do! ❤

[@linuswolfson101]

I first wrote a comment before i watched the end of the video, that you have to eat the Sauerbraten, because i never thought you would eat it. Everybody eats southern dishes most of the time. But my favourite german dish actually is Sauerbraten. Im kind of happy.

[@Jeni10]

Dumplings are balls of bread dough cooked in the stew/casserole. Mashed potato can be added to the dumplings for a much richer texture.

[@angelicrobles6292]

This was a lot of fun to watch! I'm glad you both got to enjoy this city (the Cathedral, train-spotting, the old streets), and I'm the meeeelltiinggg kind of envy because you went to the Chocolate Museum! 🤤 Chocolate before and after, PLUS the most adorable looking treats from their shop! The other food and beverages you got to try looked heavy to me, even the vegetables that accompanied some dishes, but all so worth it, because I bet the smell alone would whet the appetite. Favorite part is the extra potato pancake you got. High-five to Satoshi for that! 😊 Hope you both do get to put a Love Lock on the bridge! ❤️

[@serenetiv]

Most German food is on the heavier side for sure but we're also not a hot country (which is changing because of the climate change but you know..) Our homes are build to keep warmth in instead of getting it out fast for example. So it's quite normal to also have heavier food. BUT there's still lighter spring and summer foods, very seasonal. I mean, Germany prides itself in having the best white aspargus and that's only really available between the End of March (nowadays, originally it would have been mid April or start of May) until June 24th.

[@angelicrobles6292]

@@serenetiv I don't mind the heaviness of most German dishes at all! I think of them as hearty, rich, and filling, and just looking at them has me already imagining mouthwatering smells. 🤤 Great to sit down to after a long day. I apologize if my comment came across offensively. Thank you for your explanation of seasonal food there as well!

[@MrChili007]

It was a pleasure to watch how you explore my home town. You are so nice guys. Btw. Kir Royal is a mix of Champagner an Black Current juce. The Rheinischer Sauerbraten is today made of beef, which was for a week in a mix of whine and viegar. Not to far in the past we used horse meat for the original Sauerbraten.

I am german and watched a lot of videos from you two 1-2 years before and now youtube suggests me one where you are here about 50 km next to me??? How cool is that? You really chose well what to eat, great choices! So happy you both liked it. 😍 The Currywurst has not a real Curry on top - it's Curry-Ketchup, very popular with grilled meat in Germany. The Sauerbraten is also one of my favorite dishes along with Rouladen - red cabbage is very common in german cuisine for all kinds of potato + meat dishes. Not many like it - but thankfully you do
