Amazing Bullet Train Food in Japan

[@DeathByStiel]

A 38-minute long DancingBacons video? What did we do to deserve such a blessing!

[@crazydom117]

Just by being awesome 😎

[@Jeff250lbc]

The algorithms are kind to us.

[@dxxii.mmxxii]

Tested up a bit because we got a 38-minute long one 🥲

[@scottcleland9163]

How can food be so dreamy?

[@yattyc]

Lots of paid advertisements from these bento boxes.

[@yvanster]

My favorite part of my Japan trip in May was the Shinkansen down from Tokyo to Osaka. Had a Katsu sando, Kombu and Genmaicha onigiri, A beef Yakinuku and Pork Shogayaki bento. Washed it all down with a Kirin Ichiban as I watched the cityscape flash past in a blur. I cannot wait to go back to Japan.

[@flu77erluv]

What was the katsu sando like? If/when I get to visit Japan that is one of the first things I want to try.

[@i.nakanon]

It's just a pork sandwich

[@flu77erluv]

@@i.nakanon Right, like fish 🐟 is just 🍣

[@madelinebitts2766]

​@flu77erluv No but like it's literally just a pork sandwich, you can make it at home. Japan isn't Disneyland, it's just a place.

[@RhysKimpo]

@@madelinebitts2766uhhhh Japan is literally more than Disneyland it has A DISNEYLAND

[@g2whatbrodie283]

Can we just appreciate how QUIET the train ride is. Passengers minding their own business and not talking at the top of their voices or just being rude in general

[@McKennaLester-e9e]

It's a Japanese custom. Japan isn't that load

[@willylao5430]

Yes, only in Japan. Very courteous & considerate while in public. Here in the Philippines, the passengers will be chatting like they're in their own home.

[@staciestudies4177]

@@willylao5430cuz they can

[@nightinthepenn]

@@willylao5430 there aloud to chat.

[@BlaubeerDatschi]

I love that so much :) in Germanys public transport people often do phone or videocalls, use bad headphones or none to hear music or watch something on their mobile device and lot of people are simply rude. :(

[@CourtMcCheese]

Has always been on my bucket list to go on a Japanese bullet train, if I ever end up going I will be sure to check these foods out. They outright look delicious

[@Bannimann2]

I am So jealous of the amount of quality food you can get in the train stations in Japan - those ekiben boxes is food art in itself, and the number of varieties is just mind-boggling - you can get everything, and something for anybody's taste! Here in Europe we can only get cheap crap! No matter what country you go through on a train, the only thing they can offer is low quality, overpriced junk food crap! I can't even remember how many times I got diarrhea from buying food on, or near, a train station in Europe. Only one street food booth stood out, a small booth outside Gare du Nord in Paris run by a middle aged woman that sold baguettes'/flutes with high quality ham, cheese, salat and Dijon dressing - they were sooo good, and even reasonably priced. But as said, it was the diamond in the mud hole.

[@isamuominae]

Quality food you can get pretty much everywhere in Japan.

[@trueKENTUCKY]

did you see the video? that food was dry and he refused to eat most if it

[@jorom6609]

I remember those eki-bens. I lived in Japan for 14 years! Best times of my life.

[@kaile5050]

Loved this! The variety of Bento seems endless & it's all presented so nicely 🍱🍘🍣 Also, thanks for the Heat Pack Pat

[@stephanieparker1250]

I loved the heating pack pat! 🎉❤

[@draff1662]

Absolutely fascinating. Japanese Bento meals look so fresh and their presentation is wonderful. Thank you, DancingBacons.

[@simsyphus]

it only just occurred to me that these are filmed over several days and you're not just going back and forth on a train for like 12 hrs straight

[@copperpot6328]

looks like the same shirt though

[@Vagabond_Etranger]

Maybe he wore the same clothes for a week. I often do that when I'm traveling.

[@H4FI2]

That transition 0:42 is awesome. with inside train sound reach first before the scene. I appreciate the little details.

[@KirkNorthrop]

“Unique meatball and quail egg combo”. That’s one way to describe a scotch egg I suppose 😂

[@AM_KIWIWIWIE]

As a Scottish person, I agree, haha.

[@ShadowCDoom]

The Conger Eel, Creative Meat, Beef Bowl, and the Self Heating bentos all got my mouth watering 🤤

[@Foodin_jp]

映像のクオリティが高くて、食欲をそそりますね

[@manifestationnation]

Food in Japan is so good no matter where you go, even the vending machines. I wish it was like that here.

[@haelz1367]

Love the transition from store to train with focus on the box. Train bento is my favorite, so relaxing and fun to see the tiny neat foods.

[@thesuspiciousorange2526]

I know these were all done across multiple days and times, but in my heart, it was you eating all of these back to back in one day and just hopping trains in between meals.

[@cosmicadventurer1999]

Wow! That was quite a vlog! I’m planning a fifth trip to Japan for 2024. We use trains quite a bit, but we rarely eat on them. You have encouraged us to buy more bento for our journeys.

[@maik9962]

Besides the snacks and instant food the bento videos are also something I watch a lot from you and now seeing you post a full almost 40 mintues long video with nothing but train bentos has been a blessing, keep up the amazing work!

[@adamlawrence4690]

Amazed how beautifully presented and delicious the bento looks! Envious. Thank you for sharing 👍🇦🇺❤️

[@drumarks6638]

Six minutes in and I'm so full....just watching. Love your content! Thanks for all you do!

[@tooniemama6959]

Those Bento boxes look so delicious and made with such care. The Japanese do everything with such an artistic touch. Very nicely presented. With Love, from the USA 🇺🇸 ❤️

[@restaurantman]

Thanks for showing us the variety of Ekiben! 👍 🍱

[@SAI_LINGESH]

Packing containers looks soo cute 🥰

[@beckathawrecka]

That round salmon bowl with the rice looked so good! I always watch your videos at dinnertime or I get very hungry! I love all of your videos and love seeing the ones you do with the lady. She's so adorable and cute!

[@JonahBarker97]

The train looks so awesome! I am excited to watch another peaceful and calming video with delicious looking food!!!

[@jadelynn1703]

I was going to be so sad if you didn't pat the heat pack LOL. You sure showed us a lot of bentos Dancing Bacons! Love it! ^_^

[@monteceitomoocher]

Couldn't imagine our rail service in Britain ever providing such dainty and delicious food, soggy tuna mayo if your lucky.

[@roger0929]

If more of your population would park their climate-destroying personal vehicles and use the UK's extensive rail network, then the demand would probably be enough for someone to manufacture meals like these at an affordable price.

[@Ash-si5gi]

Can’t imagine our rail service in America even functioning, working

[@MeltWithU]

Even worse than America unless you take an overnight train. I guess the good thing is, you can always stop somewhere and bring your own food. just be blessed in Britain that your government has at least taken steps to get the artificial preservatives and additives out of your food. Whereas, I think America is probably last place in the entire world. What I consider purposely poisoning the population. Hopefully, within an administration change in the next few months, that’s going to be solved. As it is a major running point for him and his cabinet members. Hope all is well. Hope to visit your country sometime soon.

Can't even imagine the British rail service running on time... 😂

[@monteceitomoocher]

During victorian times you could set your watch by them, and right up to the fifties, nationalism 'British Rail' was probably the worst thing to happen to our railways, paradoxically, privatisation which was supposed to rejuvenate and restore that pioneering spirit was also a disaster by the way it was broken up, with separate companies responsible for different elements of the network, like tracks and maintenance, stations, and the trains themselves, unbelievably our new government is once again going to renationslise the system, but that's going to be an even bigger disaster due to the bureaucratic and cack-handed way they operate, we can never go back to the start unfortunately.

[@fightsforsweets]

I wish we had something similar here, the bento boxes are absolutely precious. They’re almost too pretty to eat! For the time being I’ll just have to settle on living vicariously through you guys and your amazing videos. ♥️ Thank you for continuing to take us with you on your food journey.

[@Thaliathegodslayer]

Simple but Amazing. I love seeing what Bentos Japan has to inspire my meals. Thank you for sharing a little bit of Japan and other nations life and culture with us.

[@jaydoggy9043]

I love learning about the creative world of ekibens and travel meals. They're a great way to attract more travelers - it gives you something to look forward to on the train ride!

[@laerwen]

This video is such a delight. I love all of these eki-bens and as someone who is weird about food textures and has a variety of allergies - so many of these would get me to try things I never thought I would try, food-wise! I appreciate how balanced these are; palate cleansers and pickles and greens for digestion. Always such a thoughtful way of eating!

[@MagickSprite]

Another amazing video! Everything looked so good. Thank you for the wonderful memories of riding the trains, and at each stop everyone rushing out to get bento boxes or something to drink, then quickly getting back to their seats before the train took off again.

[@rookiedriver6672]

dancingbacons videos actually helped me with regaining apetite after falling ill and barely eating anything

[@carolynallisee2463]

I had to smile at your 'meatball and quail egg combo'! Here in the UK, we've had such a combo for decades now. We call ours 'Scotch Eggs' and they are considered a picnic or buffet dish. Generally, Scotch Eggs are small hard boiled chicken eggs, wrapped in pork sausage meat, then bread-crumbed and deep fried. They can be eaten hot , warm or cold depending on your tastes. If you want a daintier bite, you can use quail eggs, and as we have a vast range of sausages, the sausage meat can vary, too. I daresay you could probably make them with fish, such as smoked haddock, or salmon, too, and they'd still be a tasty morsel to eat!

[@Geekyguy92]

Scotch eggs are elite

[@vintagebrew1057]

Thank you for a nice memory of my dad. He loved conga eel and would prepare it himself and serve with fresh parsley sauce. Very tasty. 🇬🇧

[@ramal5708]

Top 3 requirements for me to eat the food: the price, the looks and taste, these bento are all fulfilled the requirements

[@sallytritton2759]

This is why I just adore Japan everything is of the highest quality even train station food and other transport systems are just amazing everything is made fresh the portions are generous size and they're not too badly priced why can't other countries around the world take their cue from Japan Also one of my favourite things is rice wrapped in seaweed with a huge helping of pickled ginger there is nothing yummier in the world than that right there❤❤❤

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Y'all are making me miss Japan even more, now! Those all looked wonderful and next time I go and end up on the Shinkansen? I will see about getting one or two Ekiben to see how good they are.

[@jaehaspels9607]

Great vid. Thank you for showing so many different bentos; even ones for kids. The Japanese really know how to make the food look pretty.

[@Random42]

Great video! Long format never felt slow, stayed entertaining thanks to some great editing.

[@notviadoll]

i dont know what i would do if i never explore these kinds of food, everything just always looks so delicious! my dream is to go to japan and try every food there.

[@spicysocks4492]

Thank you for posting these collection of videos! I love the new train bento series!

A veritable Bento bonanza...❤❤❤! Thank you! These were incredibly satisfying to watch be opened. Like Christmas, Foodie Style😊

[@williamwhite2113]

These bento videos are really interesting. They are as close to Japan as I'll ever get to see sadly. The food looks good and you put a lot of effort to show all of those boxes. Thanks for the video.

[@yojimbo9]

very good looking and healthy food for the price, the salmon with roe looked amazing

[@monicahyland8641]

The containers are so cute, those would be my new Tupperware for my house.. you know instead of butter containers or large cottage cheese containers 😂.. I really love 💕 and need this packaging ❤😊

[@flu77erluv]

This is one of your best videos yet! Wow! 🎉 You covered so much and I like the new format of captioned descriptions for the items you’re trying. @minute 7:44 - Sandos!!! I have wanted to try these for so long, but can’t find a place that sells them or even the ‘real’ bread used to make them. 😢 @minute 12:46 - Eel YUM! @minute 17:45 - Nice transition! @minute 18:15 - It looks like a sunflower 🌻 ❔Does the fact that the bento isn’t necessarily hot and possibly even chilled, detract from the overall enjoyment of the food? ❕DB was the first to introduce me to self-heating meals. Awesome! ❔What do you do with the wooden (bamboo?) bento boxes once they’re empty? ❔Do the bentos have a strong smell or bother others on the train (especially if they’re heated), or is it just understood that this may be someone’s AM/PM meal? Thank you 🙏 again for this wonderful, extra-long glimpse into the world of Station Bentos. ❤

[@isamuominae]

They made for eat in local temperature, is not freezing cold. If you are starving you will not care about that. Banboo bento? Trash... not sure If you can reuse them. I don't think they have strong smell bentos to annoy others, I never heard that. Even If someone sells, is not the consumer fault.

[@flu77erluv]

@@isamuominae Thank you so much for this reply! I am very grateful for the community Dancing Bacons has and their/your willingness to answer questions and provide information. You guys (and gals) are the best! ~ Arigato ~

they are all super delicious. the perfect thing to watch while on lunch.

So many bentos. Thank you! With much love and respect from Chicago USA Planet Earth

[@buffybrown1619]

Love youse guys. It's always great to see videos from other countries and realise just how behind the times we are in USA.

[@peewee2025]

The Masu no Sushi Bento box was quite a surprise. I would definitely try that when I come to Japan next month for the fireworks show.

[@ramal5708]

27:18 had a similar stacked train lunch box when I was in Japan, I think that's a lunch box for two person, you could eat all of them alone, if you're so hungry that is.

[@CoffeeFruits-World]

This video reminded me of a story my father told me during his trip to Japan. He was on the subway late one night, on his way back to his hotel. He looks over and sees a very young boy, totally unsupervised, eating a raw sardine as if it was a Snickers bar. The mental imagine has been sending me ever since.

[@ywgmb35]

Better health choice than a Snickers bar!

[@Loyce-hv7md]

you make the most complex subjects super relatable!

[@melissadunton3534]

Absolutely love this compilation of all the Ekiben! I would love for you to do this type of video again, as I love your longer videos. ❤

[@MS-cg1mj]

There are so many choices and budget friendly too. Looks delicious.

[@Doctorpreneur_..0_0..]

Am I the only one so inlove with the bento packaging,that first one💯💯💯

[@megancress1384]

So happy to see another ekiben video!!!! I still rewatch the original one occasionally, and now we have a whole new one that's 38 mins!!!

[@TehTussin]

I really liked this longer format.

[@deebeeeff]

Good Lord, this is a lot of food! Love it. From the seat changes, it looks like you took a few trips to cover it all.

[@brandonp5846]

I was overjoyed seeing that this video was almost 40 minutes long!! I had to watch it twice though because it was so calming it lulled me into a little nap! 😅 I ABSOLUTELY love these longer videos! 👍💜

[@ZimVader-0017]

I'm glad that they have very clear labels about the contents and allergy warnings. I have to be very careful with anything that comes from Japan because of my shellfish allergies, so I appreciate the warning labels. Managed to enjoy some hot pots and bento the last time I bought from an Asian food market thanks to those labels.

[@fieryphoenix2020]

Such a satisfying video 😋 now I want to go on a bullet train someday and try those bentos, they looked heavenly 🍱

[@alphazunitee]

The sound of the train is hypnotic. I want to ride the shinkansen next time i go to Japan.

[@BenjamintYT]

I usually get to the end of a DancingBacons video while I'm also eating something. I didn't notice how long this video was at the start, but by the time I finished my sandwitches, I was amazed that it kept going. Thank you for the long video DancingBacons! And it's also about one of my favourite foods you made videos of.

[@CalmFriendlyRobot-re9ew]

I hope it continues and you have a lovely life.

The way the perfectly cooked onsen egg is jiggling from the train movement adds to the experience, I think! :)

[@DianaRussia531]

There is a certain dignity in the care and packaging of this beautiful food.

The meatball with quall egg is very similar to something we have the UK called a scotch egg. The egg is a chicken egg, and because of that its bigger. Very tasty too.

Scotch egg is correct. This lunchbox is inspired by Europe.
