[@cydneystephen2814]

Good morning David. Didn’t know you already went to Japan. I Follow a young lady Meljean Solon who is there now. She stayed one night in a pod for the experience then now in a hotel. This is a cumulative video. Gonna watch and enjoy in increments. No long winded comment as you know it will be ridiculous. 😂. You’re up to eating the snacks you got from 7-11 on the train. Love finger foods. And correct me and my apologies if I’m wrong; Happy Passover. And yes. The hotel is amazing. You’re about to have breakfast. Anyway. Thanks in advance for I’m sure an amazing Vlog/s. I’m back. Am I losing my mind? I see you and the sushi as the thumbnail but I also saw you , a gal and the Food Ranger 🤷🏻‍♀️.

[@Davidsbeenhere]

this is a big reason why i am dropping Documentaries because most my audience doesnt know where I have been. Japan, China and South Korea docs are next :)

What is the 2nd good tour you went on and where was it? With Tokyo by Food? Thanks

[@Davidsbeenhere]

It's so good! ❤ one of my favorite trips of my life 💪

[@zp1405]

about how much do you think in usd would it cost for 4 adults to stay at that hotel? because i want to plan a trip and trying to find a good area and hotel to stat at when we go.

[@Davidsbeenhere]

no idea.. go to their website :)

[@whatsmichaeltravels1646]

There is a trick to opening onigiri. At one of the points there is a pull tab that will tear the cellophane and then you ‘’clam shell’’ open the package. The rice cake falls into place …. Simple.

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Funny enough because I didn’t really have a guide for that no one explained it 😂

[@drwachterandrea]

Don‘t forget the Itadakimasu before taking the first bite… 😁

Take the bus from Narita to Tokyo station is cheaper than the train. It's only $10 and gets there in 65 mins.

[@sonny9054]

Hi David san. I am a local who has just subscribed. You had amazing companions during your stay. Frank san and Bryan san are definitely pros. Their Japanese is super good and they know our culture inside and out. I could see that they made a conscious effort to avoid the touristic places and also accommodated to your taste preferences at the same time. Glad you went to Sunamachi. This place is a great representation of how Japanese high streets used to be 30 years ago. My daughter actually worked for half a day at one of these stores as part of her school project. Pretty sad that these local high streets are dying out every year due to huge shopping malls depriving of their businesses. Oh, and you definitely need to master how to unwrap a convenience store onigiri. It was just so wrong lol :)

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Welcome and thank you for such a kind hearted and thoughtful comment. Thank you Sonny san! Welcome to the channel, and have a great week too!

[@engr100viki5]

my best bro david looking handsome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your best bro viki 💙

[@bietiekay]

Nice video! But be advised that most of the content from the beginning, especially prices and schedules and options is from 2019 - so much has changed since then.

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Thanks for the tips! 😅

[@ameshtambe]

You probably know this by now but you dont have to unwrap the whole onigiri its only a three step process, check the wrapping, nevertheless Great compilation watching this as I goto sleep

[@Davidsbeenhere]

yea no one taught me :)

[@dawndarius371]

Hey I've seen the Onigiri opened in a much simpler way. Just pull down the flap labeled 1. Then pull the side ones labeled 2 and 3. Beats having to undo the wrapper.

[@NishaCheese]

David…you the homie but I can’t stand the way you open the onigiri 😂😂

[@SuperAttack3]

Yo next time you are in Japan hit me up. I’m in Tokyo moved from Miami.

[@lindasiu4965]

You’re unwrapping the onigiri wrong. If you look at it closely, you’ll see 1, 2 & 3. One is at the top and pull it around the rice ball. Then, just pull the sides away, 2 & 3.

[@sbdiaries]

Wow such a fantastic time you had in Japan ❤. Such a diverse country with so much to offer. A gorgeous 😍 tour with amazing food 😍 and beautiful buildings. Take care guys and be safe Simon and Beth ❤❤❤

First time I watched you David, it was 2010 as I watched one of ur morocco-vlogs, at that time I was not married nor had any children. Today I have been married for 12 years and have a daughter turning 11 and u are still here doing travel-vlogs. Surreal lol

[@Davidsbeenhere]

Wow, that is amazing K! I can't thank you enough for such a lovely comment and for supporting the channel for so long. I basically shed a tear of joy from how much this means to me. I have two daughters as well, and it is so beautiful to hear you have a 12 year marriage and a family! Thats such a blessing and yeah, I have always enjoyed traveling and making videos and I feel truly lucky to still be able to do this! That said most of my time is also spent working in my studio for my channel, and being at home with family and friends just relaxing despite the travels! Wishing you peace and blessings K and wow those Morocco vlogs really bring back memories. THANK YOU K!

​@@DavidsbeenhereLove watching you explore Japan & the rest of the world in your videos David Can't help laughing, as I'm watching your friend Frank delicately eating his ramen, then it's over to David who picks up nearly half the bowl of noodles on his chopsicks & in one go you pretty well shovel it all into your mouth like you're competing in some crazy Ramen noodle eating competition😅 Reminds me of how my eldest son eats...just smashes in as fast as possible, splattering juice all over the place, but really enjoying his food! A crazy sight to behold for those of us watching though! Take care & keep up the great work with making vids for us to enjoy, thanks David! 😊❤

[@yolandawhite51]

Do any black people visit Tokyo that often? All the videos I've seen only show black people being profiled in that worst way possible. I'm just curious before I plan a trip there.

[@JudyT868]

Konnichiwa and arigato David. Thank you so much for showing this doc. on Tokyo. I actually chose this one because I was really excited to see it and I was not disappointed. I thought India was overcrowded but Tokyo is right up there with it's large crowds too. The city is so clean and the food looked so delicious, although I will pass on anything raw. In Toronto,we have masala noodle packs in the grocery. I especially loved the ramen noodles. It's a really beautiful city. They really take politeness and privacy seriously, something we need in North America. It looked very complicated to get around especially if you don't know the language. I think I would get lost😂😂😂. That bullet train is something else. WOW!!! Did you actually feel the speed of the train? There was so much to see and you did a very good job on this one. I enjoyed it very much. Once again, domo arigato. To you and your family I wish you all a blessed Easter Sunday.🙏😇💕🐰🇹🇹🇨🇦. Sayonara.

The triangle shaped sushi that you were eating has the greatest feature where if you pull the tab in the middle from the top all the way around when you pull apart, the two sides of the wrapper, the seaweed will come out perfectly onto your rice.

[@PirulitoJP]

For open the onigiri just follow the instructions on the onigiri's wrapp by arrow indicators or numbers 😅

[@jessehughes88]

Great video. Man I like how you were just open about being in your thirties and finally going to a place you had always wanted. I did the same. 34 and i finally went to the places I wanted. Life changed for me and my opportunity came and I didn’t pass that up. Japan was great while I was there but I really loved bangkok and similar to you in japan, Thailand was my place. Been studying it since 9th grade, learned the language by reading and using google. First time I went there people thought I had been there long time and say I speak very well. That was cool. But hey you keep doing it man. Have fun. Good content.

Just walk

[@princesssakuraxo]

David u need to look up the manners in other cultures. A lot of what u did at the Japanese breakfast at the first hotel was very bad manners. From touching the staff to over pouring soy sauce on ur fish (they see this as waste) and the stating its salty when ur the one that poured all that soy sauce to make it salty. Then pouring soy sauce on rice is not good practice in Japan. U also were stabbing ur food with ur chop sticks and that’s not a good manner either. Please research or have a guide because I know this isn’t the norm for ur culture but it’s different in other cultures 😊

[@2075vj]

This was it very enjoyable. It was so long I had to watch it in increments.

[@rightperson4215]

Epic Epic Fabulous video of yummy Noodles❤

[@constantinossmith3241]

The cool thing about Japanese food is that it may look like a lot but because its in small plates/bowls/pots even, the focus is on tastiness and variety! 80% of the food is very low caloric. In comparison a extra large pizza with extra cheese and full toppings is probably more than double the calories David ate in this entire video. The Japanese really have mastered the art of food on every level. Full respect to them!

[@AmandaSilva-sw9cb]

Queen of soups. I love your channel and I barley subscribed to you today!

[@AtingaN-n1z]

Hello David I really love your channel, I also love the fact that you go to all countries, even on the African continent( I am an African - British by the way.) I only please have one little critic, please eat more neatly, do not over stuff your mouth or over mix your food like a toddler. As your channel is a bigger one, it may be worth investing a little into an etiquette coach on table manners. Example when you were with Frank from 5am ramen observe how he was eating. He was clearly enjoying himself, yet he was not guzzling his food and overstuffing his mouth. Just a friendly suggestion. Cheers xxx

[@yourtinysenpai]

I’m glad that you got to experience Japan but watching you open those onigiri was ROUGH! Each onigiri has opening instructions AND the TabiEats channel shows you how to properly eat Japanese food.

[@Ineedpeace215]

I just don't understand how anyone can eat food that a complete stranger has already been eating. That's extremely unsanitary. The food is so cheap, why not just get your own?

[@timhaha274]

May sound like a hater but just my opinion. I’m glad you love the food but I hope you learned on to actually eat Japanese food. The proper way. Certain things you do to actually enjoy the flavor of the food. I mean food is food. As long as you’re happy and it’s good it shouldn’t be complicated but I think eating Japanese food you should follow the essential ways of eating their food. Just to follow their culture and showing the respects to the restaurants and chefs.

[@chickenfeet9304]
