Casually finding the best chicken in Japan on accident

[@charlieee07]

Major bucket list item is just going to every place in the future on this guys channel that he rates highly bc I get so hungry after watching them 😭

[@AuthorValdaDedieu]

It's very well done. I LOVE THIS!!!!

[@Techmoblad]

I'm gonna be working a job this summer while juggling college because i really wanna go to japan. Watching japaneats for just under a year has made me want to go to japan more than anything else

[@scrat9870]

Breh you better start learning Japanese, if you wanna hit every place he rates highly you're gonna be there for a while

[@rigop_sketches5650]

Imagine if there was like a summer camp for JapanEat fans where we just go to all the recommended spots

[@RadenWA]

@@scrat9870and most of these places are back of the alleyway places that don’t usually accommodate English

[@jonathanmarrero3887]

When you walk in and it looks family owned you know it’s gonna be good

[@lightoftruth8672]

I would have no idea if a restaurant looked family owned or not if I was in Japan. At least that's what it seems like being from America

[@onigireee]

@@lightoftruth8672 I'm not entirely sure why, but there's a vibe. They don't tend to have a 'theme' or motif to base their brand around, it's usually incredibly simple and you see people who wouldn't otherwise be working in a commercial kitchen, like grandmas, or family members. It's informal, the people are usually sort of talking amidst the customers and regulars. Lots of regulars. That said, never been, it's the way it is in India lmao. Just more yelling mixed in here.

[@lightoftruth8672]

@@onigireee I'm great at picking up vibes and very aware but the cultural difference would be my issue. Everything would appear unfamiliar if I were to visit. But I trust my instinct to be able to tell if it was a chain or family run. I appreciate your input. Thank you and have a great dau

[@onigireee]

@@lightoftruth8672 That's absolutely true, without cultural context, we'd never know the difference between levels of formality. Grandmas in the kitchen are a safe bet around the world tho. You have a great day too! o/

[@megaman161]

Especially if it looks like the family has owned it for a while. Successful and/or popular enough to stick around 👌

I've been to Japan and I'm shocked at how much side spaghetti this guy finds.

“This chicken is as addictive as Xanax”

The hereditary reference was perfection. I don't get half of your references because I don't play video games, so I was happy to be included

At this point I am convinced the only season John Japan Eat here is not American sized by now is that he walks from one restaurant to the next instead of using a car or train

[@lactofermentation]

Also small Japanese portion sizes.

Walking season is certainly a regular sized season (this comment was sponsored by the xanax building from the beginning of the loop)

Didn’t expect to see that Xanax building! Baseball equipment company, pretty popular among Japanese high school players. Absolutely love their baseball gloves, in fact the glove I use the most right now is a Xanax (and yes the name always makes me laugh when I see it lol)

[@timveldhuijzen4944]

That little 'slot' that you wanted to crawl in is a removable lid for the ventilation system. They're often put at spots in the ventilation system where blockages occur. So pop of the lid, get the crap out that's causing the blockage and pop it back in.

Hi! I don't know your name. Hello! Friend. I am sure you have commented enough on the work you are doing regarding food. I also want to complement you but, in a slightly different flavor. To me you are like a breath of fresh air. After a day full of stressful work, watching your videos soothes me to the utmost . Your commentry, no, probably the style of commentary, puts me at ease in a heart beat. You remind me that there is still joy to be found in the simplest of things. And for that I am trurely greatfull. Keep up the good work.

Well, it's simply raw sliced okra - it's good, especially during Japan's hot, humid, and stagnant summer. (Probably much like the south!)
