Cafeteria Shokudo Style Restaurant in Japan - Eric Meal Time

[@toddburgess5056]

Today is the 7th anniversary of my fathers passing, being able to watch Eric Mealtime has really allowed me to calm my anxiety. He was a "steak and potatoes" kinda guy, and always liked to tease me when I'd eat things like sushi or anything outside the norm. Miss you, Dad!

[@jeremyp3729]

😢happy death day!

[@mulderdreamland]

Sorry for your loss 🙏🙏

[@CornishLiving8]

​@@jeremyp3729how insensitive! It's an anniversary not "death day"

[@mindy7165]

First let me say how sorry I am for your loss. I lost my mom 16 years and it is hard but they live on in our memories and in us. As far as the video, I appreciate how much you have to eat each time for your viewers! I do enjoy seeing all the foods and options and I hope I make it to Japan one day.

[@Rev.Dr.ArchbisopJGJones]

I been a fan for many many years ,just keep up the great work

[@ericsurf6]

Thanks so much! ✔💯🏄

[@ToroBlancoPR]

Thanks for showcasing this place. Made it all the way to the end.

[@IamBATMAN2024]

These are my favourite kind of videos! Proper Japanese dining experiences!

[@jpfan87]

Seeing these kind of little restaurants brings me joy! I love seeing these little restaurants.

[@mudit9403]

Aloha from Hawaii! My wife and I have been watching your videos for a year or so. We enjoy them very much. We watch several channels from Japan that feature food. I find the vending machine videos interesting. I like the family owned restaurants, where the prices are reasonable. They serve good everyday dishes. We will be leaving at the end of the month visiting my mother-in law. Mahalo for all your work on the videos.

[@djvivvi]

Out of all Japanese food videos, yours are always educating and exciting to watch. Love from Sweden 🇸🇪

[@ericsurf6]

Thank U so much Sweden! 💛💚💙

[@summerlarson2543]

Very cool video! Great job of showing local business support. I appreciate your attempt of eating stinky beans. It was a wonderful example showing that we should try foods that we may not think we like, and we may be surprised. As always, looking forward to the next adventure. 😊

[@FoodPaparazzi]

I love the variety of different restaurants and cuisines you try, not just vending machines or bento boxes. It helps give us a good glimpse of what exists in Japan.

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

C'mon Eric, if I can enjoy natto, you can too! I don't know how or when I acquired the taste for it, but I bought it by accident one day and immediately liked it. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I now buy it whenever it's available at my local Asian market. It sells out fast too. I'd enjoy the cafeteria style eatery; very casual, many options. Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@antredemobydinou]

You're very good. I can't get past the texture xD

[@chas873]

So glad to see you! Everything looked so good!!!!

[@OccasionalTeleporter]

I appreciate the old-school cafeteria style convenience of this type of eatery! The price point is a big bonus, too! Thank you for this video!

[@tammythomas9587]

I love watching the videos I have learned so much about the different foods Every time I go to a Japanese restaurant I try a new food.

[@jacobelliott3160]

A lot of us love these kind of videos. I’m glad you do them and don’t feel the need to do a viral video every time. The big cam is LIT!!

[@kellytaylor2439]

Loved this video and the prices are awesome.

[@tiffrichtr]

Another great video its amazing seeing all the different foods definitely enjoy your videos its nice that you order a bunch of different items

[@brianlucas2706]

Love learning about the food and culture Things will get better.

[@Undici]

This is my idea of a great economical place to dine, so much variety for a great price! If only I could get such a great meal here!

[@claytonrogers1341]

Love family dining. Always good food and great prices

[@daniellepeters3454]

Today would have been my Father´s 94´th birthday... he passed one year ago. We lived in Japan in the early ´80´s. He was such an adventurous foodie. Miss him everyday. Our family loved Tokyo! This meal looks fantastic...

[@Dads1978]

When you start the video off with fried Mackerel even before the vlog is over, I have to say great video. What a meal.

[@Tastychronicles]

Grab and go cafeteria style restaurants are so efficient. I like one, because to the many options. Glad you found and showed us this place.

[@bzylizzy]

Looked really good, thanks for taking us.

[@nathannoyola1225]

Everything looks great. Man! Love the atmosphere of Japan. Love the channel

[@badcompany2323]

Thanks!

[@ericsurf6]

Thanks so much Bad Co! I appreciate you.

[@nwtbco]

Love to watch these places... happy you film all sorts of Japanese restaurants.

[@sejembalm]

Japan makes cheap cafeteria food look and taste good. Bravo!

[@kalyn319]

Looks like a great place! So many options for such good prices.

[@spicey0flyfe658]

First attempt for a snack pack. Always love watching these feast videos during lunch.

[@ph03nixflame]

Very cool vid! I really enjoyed the totally different atmosphere and it definitely makes me happy to hear that such quality food is open for 24 hours everyday! I'd love for something like this to be close to me.

[@xXsEoUlMaNXx]

Love seeing a local little place like this!

[@Harachoka]

Great video! I loved the variety of options at this restaurant. Love a cafeteria!

[@Jrayd86]

You should do a picnic episode with all different types of picnic foods

[@LisaC70]

always love the tour of the different restaurants. 😍

[@Lookinglost]

These videos never get old, I absolutely love your content!

[@davidclarey4461]

I appreciate that you are still uploading through all you are going through. I hope all is well with you. GET SOME!!!!!!!!!!

[@toddburgess5056]

I don't know how he does it! I was an absolute wreck after my dad passed away. Grief is an awful thing, if not treated can be crippling, although I bet the Chef is taking good care of everyone.

[@dunoobyduby]

what happened?

[@GroverMonster]

Now that’s a selection! What an awesome variety.

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Thank you for doing a more cafetaria style of place, you so rarely see these on youtube.

[@ericli8374]

Looks great. I need to try it when I visit Japan. Keep up the great work Eric. 👍

[@lainiesmajovits3754]

Your videos are so entertaining and fun. I love your expressions, especially when you like a food! Natto is definitely an acquired taste!

[@NickRussell-pt4jt]

You can't beat a cheap great meal! nice find Eric!

[@davidtowne1196]

Great video Eric, loved the variety of food and of course the lemon sour!

[@Metalodeath]

So simply yet so amazing!

[@juliannanightingale6760]

The fish ofc was my favorite part. Looked wonderful!

[@michaelhunn2761]

Another wonderful show. Some of the items I probably couldn’t eat, but it’s interesting to watch. 6 out of 6

[@ethansmummy05ify]

Another great video Eric and reasonable prices and a great selection of different types of food keep it up

[@ladyT_VR46]

You mentioned burdock. In the UK 🇬🇧 one of our favourite drinks (especially from childhood) is Dandelion and Burdock fizzy pop (soda) it's delightful and I'll send it some if I can find your address, although I'm only on KZbin. Not Instagram xx

[@brianjewell9204]

Agedashi tofu is one of my favorite Japanese dishes!

[@NiteowlsGame]

Yet another yummy video Eric, Thanks for making them for us to Enjoy.

[@generichardson6191]

Best Japan food blogger on the KZbins! GEEEEET SOME! YUM YUM YUM!

[@lindamccarthy8887]

Whenever I see 1 of your videos that's the first 1 I have to watch. I love the way you present the meals especially when you have your sons but that's another story. I just love everything about your channel when I discovered you I can't get enough. Keep up the good work and keep up the good spirits. GET SOME!!!!!!! 😀😁

[@Cooper-Lawson]

Pretty cool concept for a restaurant!

[@karoleigharmstrong8568]

As a mother of 1 son, and the aunt who takes her nephew out a lot, I LOVE cafeterias! Wish America was not losing so many! Eat on friend.

[@ericsurf6]

I feel ya! Love cafeteria food in Japan ✔💯👅

[@PietZorz]

That looked amazing! I will note this kind of place down for my next trip! I want to try the horsemackrel :)

[@janethirakawa6936]

Love saba cooked in mirin, soy sauce, sugar, ginger & umeboshi! Yummy💕💕

[@kettlekorn471]

Cool video on the cafeteria style. Even relatively cheap food in Japan feels gourmet!

[@justice2954]

I love these kind of videos. Would love to come to Tokyo. Thanks

[@emmajaneaddison8876]

have been woken up by a noisy neighbour shortly after 3 am. decided to check out youtube for a split minute. well.... now I'm sitting here being hungry.

[@ktmcc4360]

Missing your pop for you too. I miss my dad so much. Eat well, live well, surf well for him.

[@simbeau]

Wonderfully casual meal. Thanks Eric.

[@JustinEvertrip]

Very interesting type of restaurant. Much different from typical cafeteria style places in the states. Looks amazing. Self-made sour is a new one for me too!

[@matthewflemr]

Great review. Interesting food for sure

[@MrNodnarb123]

Honestly all of that food looks great. I would love to hang out at a place like that and just relax. Seems like a nice experience.

[@Dawn-he1rx]

Thank you again for a wonderful video Eric! Nom Nom!!

[@mulderdreamland]

Amazing video love the drinks and food very healthy love the way Japanese eat especially green tea .

[@camille2141]

Loved this one.

[@MrDboydeluxe]

Eric’s facial expressions eating the sardine was epic!!

[@ericsurf6]

Was it? Thanks! ✔💯🏄

[@liamaleman1761]

Japan seems like the perfect country and I'm from Canada!

[@optimus122581]

I would love to try that Mackerel. Looked so good! Love the video!! Thanks Eric.

[@lynnh321022]

Wow great prices! Love your videos!

[@robertfunchilds]

Love your content! Thanks so much!

[@jimsadak5264]

I love these ! Thanks for a glimpse of Japan out to eat .Sorry for your loss . My mom passed in January @ 86 so I feel you! Would love a snack pack in little Rhode Island!

[@jojames9724]

I like crispy, crunchy textures, I really don’t think I could do the Nato and raw egg combo but I’m proud of you for keeping on trying

[@cecilialindstrom7061]

Looks delish! Thank you for sharing even though you're going through tough times.❤

[@CookieMonstaKilla]

Truly loved all your honesty in this video. I feel like you were expressive in your dislikes more than normally. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@kylercolbert7770]

So interesting seeing most dishes premade and in a cabinet. But love your selection even though you almost bought the whole menu, lol. Great video again, Eric

[@rubenramirez-ar2]

One of everything is always a temptation... loved the menu

[@121dough]

I'm with you. Mackerel are a darker, oilier fleshed fish and full of flavor. Glad you gave us this insight into typical dining dishes. If Japan has comfort food, this would be it

[@davidathey7903]

That is the type of place I would like to visit when I come to Japan

[@tgilroytg]

I like how you always explain each dish. It’s so helpful. I’ve been trying new things now at our favourite Japanese restaurant here in Canada. Some are good, some not lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@edithmariequinones5328]

Omg the fermented beans and eggs kill me!! Lol

[@chrismortensen2761]

Thank you the wonderful experience and another great video. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 from Wyoming

[@foxygem3863]

Love these types of videos ❤ natto definitely looks interesting 😂

[@clarkhamblen]

I enjoyed this video. I feel like I have learned something about Japanese food that I didn't know.

[@tmny4425]

My buddy Eric almost to a MILLION followers! Congrats from Alabama my dude!

[@sarahscharber5559]

I love how they do their advertising on that board outside. 👏

[@pencapchewdraw]

Love the new location this shoot. Variety is the spice of life.

[@1FunkyMammaJamma]

I don't care what anyone thinks. All your videos are interesting and educational.

[@gregbrooks7233]

The dishes looked fresh and tasty, and those prices can't be beat. If I'm ever in Japan, I'll have to try this style restaurant. Thanks for sharing.

[@thelump11]

It's amazing how many different types of food places with different ways to order there are in japan

[@yolandairene]

nice place to bring the family for affordable dining.

[@jeffglenn7609]

Never tired of your video's 😮 Looks awesome ❤

[@michaelmount76]

Thanks for another great video eric. The food looked amazing and made me hungry lol

[@socomsting87]

I enjoy these videos as well,keep it up!

[@crystalblake1528]

I always get hungry when watching these videos! Good thing I just finished eating a rather large Sandwich (ham, turkey, Cheddar cheese, pickle, mayo, mustard, bread)!

[@jamespeters1352]

Yet another totally entertaining and informative video Eric, love what you do my friend. You don't know it but you are currently getting me through a very difficult time in my life with your video's. I am currently nursing and caring for my wife/partner here in South Wales, United Kingdom. She is dying with terminal lung cancer and very ill, but gets some enjoyment when I show her your videos, anything to her from you I am sure would lift her spirits 100% Don't know if you will see this but keep up the great content my friend and keep me fighting on please, love and best wishes to you and yours, take care and enjoy life

[@LucasPNW]

Viral or not, it's why I keep watching. Good stuff as always Eric!

[@tomokotomoko]

Nice find! 😲👏 When I was a University student, I saw this type of restaurant a lot on Seibu Line in Tokyo. Ima sukunai yo ne. A variety of dishes!😋👍

[@MikeGsAdventures]

If Mega did a food review alone, you know it can be called Mega-meal time. 😅 All the best
