Exploring Ehime Japan with Chef Yosuke Suga

[@SkyGrizzzley]

That Martina speech towards the end about her experiences in Ehime was so beautiful it actually made me tear up. I used to hate how slow you guys started to upload but I realize now how amazing the quality of each video is. Every video is a film, a story, an experience, a documentary, a look into your lives, a masterpiece. I hope I can live long enough to enjoy all of what you can offer. I really feel like I'm living a part of your lives and I am grateful for all these intimate videos you guys create. Keep up the amazingness!

[@SophieJackson1993]

That made you tear up? She hardly said anything really. If that made you tear up her videos about her disorder would absolutely make you scream.

[@SkyGrizzzley]

@@SophieJackson1993 3 year old video but yes, I've seen them. I said I teared up because the speech was beautiful along with the context of the video. Things don't always have to be negative =).

[@happymonkey06]

Did anyone else start to cry when Martina was describing her memory of picking oranges right before eating the orange dessert? This video was well worth the wait. I can't wait to hear more about it on the Eat Your Kimchi podcast show. ❤️

[@Tsuki570]

They spoke about the trip to Ehime in detail in a previous podcast episode. Look through the podcasts in the past to see it...I believe it was like around February 5th. 😉🍊

[@ashtenmorgan]

where is this podcast? i didn't know EYK have a podcast

[@happymonkey06]

林爱 yeah they have a radio show on SBS Pop Asia Radio it's an Australian station so I think u can listen live online if you're not in Australia. The way that I listen is through Apple's podcast app. Just search "Eat Your Kimchi" and you will find it. Simon and Martina are really great radio hosts. If you listen to it love you get to hear the music they play. Podcast is just them talking.

[@happymonkey06]

林爱 what's really nice is they talk about behind the scenes stuff and expand more on things they make videos about and then they talk about things they don't film at all and talk more about personal experiences and stories. It's really wonderful and I'm so appreciative they choose to share such special moments with Nasties.

[@Sharleen91]

YES!! I specifically went to the comments to see if anyone else commented about having this reaction lol!

[@trainman98]

Easily, the most beautiful food/cultural video I have ever seen. I've seen a lot of videos, and a lot of food. I'm a 70 year old former video producer, who also ran a test kitchen for a meat company my family owned.. I can't even imagine a better video than this one. Thank you.

[@thebigdipperr3227]

Robert Piers agreed

[@jhinxme101]

Did anyone else notice that hidden entrance to the place??? You know that place is ultra fancy when they call it a lab and it has a secret entrance!

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Jude S yeah! It's actually behind a bookshelf of another shop!

[@eatyourkimchi]

We've been working on this video for a few months and we're ready to share it with you today. Here's our video with Yosuke Suga, and his hunt for the perfect produce.

[@l나무-p8i]

Simon and Martina 감사합니다^^

[@andreaclark1707]

Simon and Martina I'm so excited, I love watching your videos! I hope you guys are doing great =) So I just wanted to add that I got emotional watching this. Seeing you have this amazing experience and then Martina's story about the orange really touched me. I want to do what you guys do, explore the beautiful places that I live in and make friends and have wonderful adventures. You inspire me to make that a reality. Thank you so much, I love you Simon and Martina! (and Dan!) keep being awesome!

[@IGotNoJam]

Simon and Martina nice video you guys love juuu '0'

[@chadtomas8825]

How did you guys meet him?! His restaurant is so exclusive!

[@reueldl12]

I've been waiting for this video to come up. You guys really are great storyteller and that's why I always tune in whenever you upload videos. The editing here as well was fantastic, feels like i'm with you there. Thank you for inspiring me.

[@rikkitikkitallie]

I have never desperately wanted to go to a "fancy" restaurant until I saw this. Every single dish looked right up my alley.

[@michellecai5774]

Natalie Hinton-Jennings

[@Shiloh-ui3il]

Wow! So this is the orange you were talking about in your "build a ladder" video? Just knowing how much this trip meant to you made me tear up while watching it. This was so wonderfully done and well worth the wait. Thank you for the beautiful work you do! ❤

[@eatyourkimchi]

This was the orange indeed. :) It was a really special moment for me, I'm so glad to share it with you all now.

[@LaynieFingers]

Simon is so adorable when he eats really good food. I swear he had tears in his eyes after the macaroni!

[@aliceflore4633]

Damn guys, never commented before but I have been watching your videos for years now. This one is absolutely stunning. Your directing and editing skills get better and better every time. Good job, you guys are amazing !

[@ЛюбаМазнова]

Same here, I never comment on anything, but this was truly extraordinary. It made me to really want to go on an adventure and their editing skill have become so amazing, it felt like i was watching a cool documentary

[@culinaryadvent]

Yup! It seems like they're always trying to outdo their previous videos with the next!!! LOVE THIS VIDEO!

[@nhiko7028]

Sorry I'm late Simon and Martina! But I remember you talking about eating oranges on a hill in your open talk about depression episode and my heart warmed seeing how happy you were x #buildaladderformartina

[@asakithenovice]

I'm not watching a YT video, I'm watching a professional yet casual documentary!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Chocolate pancakes thank you!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

What makes Japanese food so special (to me) from 5-star meals to a simple bowl of ramen is the love chefs put into the process and their craft -- and here, the ingredients. Thanks for another mouth opening experience (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎

[@evanbak2893]

ONLY in JAPAN collab please!

[@june20720]

I like you Martina

[@Ainiewainy]

Something I noticed too yes! Never been to Japan but in all the videos you see how proud chefs are of their crafts! And use the best ingredient which in most cases are even freshly bought that day, by the chefs. Wish more countries would follow!

[@marshas5503]

The chef has a really great sense of fashion ❤️

[@SakuyaLuigi]

Another documentary; awesome! You guys are majestic at documentaries.

[@eatyourkimchi]

I hope you like this one!

[@SakuyaLuigi]

+Simon and Martina It's amazing! I don't know how to put it into words, but your documentaries are top notch. I feel the passion for the food and the joy of creating and consumption. You guys rock. Oh look, I found the words.

[@jmaprins]

SakuyaLuigi I loved, Loved this one!!

[@JellicleKitten]

It's because you can tell that they care about portraying the experience and love that goes into the food. It's their respect for the final product that makes their documentary videos so amazing.

[@hitsujichan756]

JellicleKitten l 0llĺmmolmmmmmmmkmmoooooooooo ok okool) lol mm

[@ashleydayton4374]

I had to euthanize my cat because of heart failure yesterday and I am so lost and sad... Trying to find hope in life right now. I knew I had to come to your channel because your passion is so strong and I know you have overcome so much and I'm crying and watching your videos and just trying to remember that all of these moments are gifts and that there is so much to experience. This is a beautiful video thank you.

[@ChantalCordonnier]

Stay strong! I have two adorable cats and I can't even try to think about losing them. But if it would be necessary, I would do it, of course. Keep the great memories in your heart!

[@ashleydayton4374]

ChantalCordonnier thank you!

[@wendal98]

I don't know how Dan can stay so composed and patient when filming these types of videos because if that was me I would've thrown the camera and dove head first into my plate 😂

[@SanDeeMcGeek]

they either tie him up and glue the cam to his hands or pay him extremely well

[@cindybass5805]

Windyle I didn't think he was

[@LiiLPANDA]

I am French and I am so happy to see this chef and his team understanding how important the terroir is and seing all this french inspire dish but still having this Japanese touch is just mind blowing :3 Can I marry one of those sous chef pleaaaase ? :3 xD

[@buumbaby]

goddamnit you moved me to tears ;u; Im really liking these professional documentaries now that youve been in japan awhile. Keep living the dream!

[@MIA202]

I feel like this needs to be submitted to the travel channel or food network or even be promoted as a special on Netflix. I know doing longer and detailed pieces like this are tough, but you do amazing work and I enjoyed every minute of it.

[@zetsuXitachi]

I'm so happy I discovered this channel last week. I'm not even a foodie, but documentaries like these give me such a sense of peace and happiness in the middle of a stressful week! :)

[@oopsiespeedy]

Watch the Bamboo Video they made a while ago will leave you speechless.

[@_skykix]

Not gonna lie...Chef Suga is *HOT* AF!

[@mharree5967]

yes absolutely (/°_°)/ .i was definately born in the wrong nation ... T_T damn those hot japanese men ..

[@alice.L.]

Marie Streller They may be hot but they have hard time doing lovey dovey stuff and arent interested in love...Even birth rate is low in Japan..

[@heartsforhutao]

SUGAAAAA ANY ARMYs?!

[@BasementRuthie]

Daughter Of Poseidon I don't know what an ARMY is but I immediately thought of Haikyuu!! Where Asahi calls for Suga to toss the volleyball for him.

[@YangSunWoo]

What a stereotypical view.

[@em-cp9zg]

i love when simon gets emotional about food. like. i feel you my dude.

[@ashabahn]

Wow this video is so emotional, I can't believe I'm crying over "food". But I think that's why I'm crying - it's not just food. Chef Suga's passion for everything he does in his work is what makes this so... fantastic. I can't find words. The love of each and every ingredient, from the soil it's planted in to the plate it is placed on at his restaurant, it's just immense. So wonderful. Thank you for this video.

[@misscandle]

Oh wow, this video had me drooling! And that's something I unabashedly adore about Japanese culture. The love of local and perfect foods within the average, and not the niche, person. The constant strive for beauty and nature, pure taste and experience, without that strive being chased by religious dogma. It's just... fun! Many of them may not be squealing and jumping for joy while they enjoy what they enjoy, but honestly sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong culture. Because although they bust ass to achieve these ideals, I love what they love. Subtle broths of seasonal mushrooms, the sweetest glossiest strawberry, cicada's in the summer. A clean street, helping and honoring the elderly. Wooden buildings and lush green nature. I'm honored to live in a world where there is a culture so hell-bent on doing their part to make the world calm and beautiful. We need more of that!

[@DreamingMagpie]

Watching Iron Chef on the couch in USA. Saw they had new episodes of the Japanese Iron Chef showing over here, was so thrilled. Heard "Chef Suga".... and yelled to my husband "wait wait wait... that is the man that ate oranges in the rain with Simon and Martina!"

[@jwilliams3966]

GOd why do I get so emotional about food?? I dunno why but I think it's amazing when people are passionate about finding the best ingredients and knowing where the food they're cooking has come from and how it's produced. Definitely something I wish more people would consider when buying food here. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@phillipwithstyle]

In the same way Yosuke Suga is sharing the feeling of his experiences with his customers through food, you're videos share the feeling of your experiences perfectly. I am in love with all your videos, and especially this one. This video is heavenly.

[@stargirl7646]

Will I ever get tired of seeing Simon and Martina geeking out over the coolest food ever? No way. :D (I want one of those oranges now!!)

[@MsMelany21]

This is such a beautiful project! The chef seems amazing and I love the way he approaches everything! And don't even get me started on how the food looks... god, this is great! Amazing job Guys!

[@whifling]

What a beautiful video and message. I'm welling up but only because it makes me so happy. Thank You

[@suilujf]

I've kind of watched a bunch of their videos when they moved to Japan and I like how they tackled each one. But honestly I think this is one of their best. The musical scoring, transitions, shots and everything else is amazing in this one. More power to you guys

[@allyhandra8038]

Woah chef Suga has such a passion for cooking. This was a really great video, the story told by the chef and the story you told visually. You guys rock. Also, Martina I think Simon has been taking notes, his food critique game is on a other level. And he's obviously the rock skipping champion. Can't wait to see what else you guys have in store for us.

[@catvampcraze]

So I'm tuckered from closing at work and just had a lovely shower--and I love that I get to relax and watch this work ethic and mentality and the damn beauty of the entirety of this video. I built this lovely, happy, buzz while watching it. While I may be far away, wishing I could experience and taste these things in person, this is a treat. I'm so happy that you guys get to do this type of work and have found these sweet invites/relationships where these chefs dig you, have taken interest in your work, and open up and trust you with sharing their passion and art. That alone is so, so, cool. A reminder of the better/wonderful possibilities in life.

[@MimiHibari1888]

only simon and martina can make cry from a video about food

[@Sharleen91]

seriously lol!

[@swadilfare]

I literally cried when you were talking the dessert! I remember the the video you made about depression (that one really hit hard with me) and I just have to say that I admire you so much!! This is such an beautiful video and it's so well done! Lots of hugs from England!

[@nataliepenna8618]

I just have to say that this video is so beautifully edited and put together. I love the silly videos with the soundbites and graphics, but for the subject matter this was really on point. The fonts used were like something off a menu or a chalkboard outside of a high end restaurant or cafe. All the little hearts and doodles weren't distracting from the key point and blended the tone of your videos with a really mature and beautiful story about the journey from ingredients to the table. I'd love to see more features like this.

[@CarlGorn]

I love that he makes basil & citrus sorbet! Wait staff & bartenders look at me like I'm crazy when I ask if they can make me a basil lemonade (which I came up with myself at home), but now I can point to yet another video and say, "See?! Top flight chefs are having the same idea. I'm a freakin' genius!" XD

[@gv5243]

this is very aesthetically pleasing

[@AlexTuble]

This is Food Network worthy material, you guys! Thank you :3

[@wanyelandy8847]

FN should have more quality programs that can match this level!

[@Zairanang]

I watched this whilst eating chicken nuggets, crying about my final exam tomorrow. Lol. It was a very beautiful video. It looks amazing. Hopefully I can experience food like this one day when I'm not a broke uni student anymore. T_T

[@MangaXGang]

Zairanang Same here dude. Uni exams suck but we'll be finished soon. Good luck with your exam!

[@Zairanang]

Thank you. I'm so glad they're over now. Good luck with your exams :)

[@kkz201]

dan is a fantastic videographer/editor! simon and martina's channel has always been great, but since he joined the team....these videos are next level!

[@eatyourkimchi]

+monkeeCnDew to be fair, Martina did 95% of the editing, and I did the other 5. Dan helped with shooting a bit, but this was mostly Martina's work :)

[@elliehobday6974]

Simon and Martina Go Martina, her hard work paid off!!

[@kkz201]

awesome job martina!

[@jocurley4223]

Loving this quality! Thank you for this beautiful editing guys!

[@dodoapexch1389]

Thanks for your great working and respect !!

[@miqy98]

Videos like this is what makes me want to go travel. Not just to discover food but also the people who put love and hardwork to masterpieces be it fresh or on the plate. A wonderful food adventure video guys!

[@justaddmusclecom]

What an awesome video, and that was one of the most beautiful commercial kitchen I have ever seen, not even on the Chefs Table series they where as nice. Nicely filmed and produced too, great job guys.

[@eatyourkimchi]

That's a huge compliment. Thank you!

[@justaddmusclecom]

You are welcome, you guys deserve the world, your videos are so genuine and easy to watch. I work 12 hour days pretty much 7 days a week in my own business so no time to travel, but I feel like I travel a few times per week through your beautiful videos. Keep up the awesome work.

[@jijunenam7844]

Healthy Recip e Channel

[@melissaannrivera4102]

Just to be fair, some of the kitchens shown on Chef Tables are not open concept or for show. Don't knock it just because it isnt an open kitchen like Sugalabo.

[@justaddmusclecom]

Those kitchens are absolutely beautiful and better than any kitchen that I have ever worked in. I simply used them as the gold standard and said that this kitchen in this video was even more impressive. Definitely never meant to knock them in any way.

[@sweetbabybadgirl]

Normally I don't add comments on videos. I'm just so shy and quite. However. I love food. I love the passion behind it. I love how complex or simple one meal can be and savoring the moment is magnificent. And this video was so amazing I cried. Just this was perfect.

[@kervinjimenez6738]

is these the oranges Martina talk about the "a talk about depression video" (remembering it makes me cry Virtual Hug for Martina) -kervin from Philippines

[@eatyourkimchi]

These are the ones, indeed!

Hopefully we can make it over there one day, then we'd love to shoot a video there :D

[@scandisnowgirl3696]

Simon and Martina we LOVE them

[@eutube90]

I would like to thank you so much Martina, for willing to climb these uneven and rocky hills of Ehime despite the difficulties you're having. And Simon too, for loving her so much and allowing her to be part of this documentary. I appreciate the work you guys put up every week for us so much, please never stop

[@irina8008]

Oh my gosh, thanks so much for replying

[@Logitekz]

You know what really intrigues me? The chef had a french accent which means he's a native japanese speaker who learned english in France.

[@neon5]

Dekopon are amazing! I never thought I'd be in a citrus fandom but dekopon are just too incredible.

[@eatyourkimchi]

They're great!

[@huiyeonio]

This video was beautiful! Love the work you guys are producing in Japan! Been a follower since the W.T.F. days so I'm amazed by how far you guys have come and how much your content has improved!

[@eatyourkimchi]

Thank you!

[@thebigdipperr3227]

you two are brilliant. BRILLIANT!! I love how you describe the food and how you film it. When Martina was describing that last dessert.. brought tears to my eyes. Genuine. you both seem like wonderful, beautiful people and I love the justice you do in these videos. they're so like...amazing how you capture them.. and it helps that the people who you film are amazing with their words and... just in general seem amazing. from a fellow Canadian, no, from a fellow person, I wish you two all the best. you're both inspiring. cheers!

[@TheTearfilledeyes]

I think this is my fav video so far. The chef was pretty good looking or I do say so myself hahaha lol.

[@eatyourkimchi]

I'm surprised as well. Young, good looking Japanese guy that speaks English, French, and Japanese, and has an amazing restaurant. He's not doing too bad, I'd say :D

[@sokunthealy7619]

Simon and Martina not too bad? 😂😂😂😂😂 lol.

[@PlayWithMePlease]

Your videos in Japan are way better than the ones in Korea! Quality-wise and content!

[@xXLuffx]

The famous Ehime video!! I've been waiting for this one, since you've mentioned it a few times and I kind of forgot about it until now ^^

[@eatyourkimchi]

We've been working on this for so long! I hope you like it :D

[@xXLuffx]

It looks amazing! I really wish I could try some of those oranges TT^TT

[@astarrysky_]

This is seriously my favorite of all the “project” type of videos you guys have done. Chef Suga’s passion for food and they way you filmed the video hit me right at the core as made me feel really warm and happy. Great job!

[@eatyourkimchi]

Also, NOTIFICATION SQUAD! What's your favourite kind of citrus? We tried a lot with Suga, and I wanted to know what kind of citrus you like :D

[@jessicashorts2255]

Simon and Martina it may sound boring but orange and grapefruit

[@ughidunno2495]

Simon and Martina are oranges citrus?

[@tiilrococo]

Simon and Martina I'm quite partial to straight lemons.... Not sure why😋

[@shashwatbetala]

hmm probably orange

[@dianelarivero9302]

I'm a big fan of oranges😊

[@mhayah]

OMG I've been following u guys for years n years and this got to be among the top 5 videos along with when Martina smashed the cup cake on the wall and when she talked about her depression and when Simon 😭 like a baby when she came back from Canada 🇨🇦 and and all ur videos ♥.. I mean this video made me happy and warm inside I can not express how come I feel as if I was there😭😭😭 uh Martina it's totally worth the pain after ♥💔,,this trip for sure will be in my bucket list ,,, BTW the subtitles where done perfectly English is my third language not a fast reader so thanks it was easy to follow without missing what's happening in the video 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@alicestanis1246]

Hi Simon & Martina all of the food looks so delicious it's making me hungry, Martina your earrings & headband are cute and you look really pretty, every time I watch ya food videos when Simon eats it's like he is having a foodgasm lol love ya guise

[@ifpeaceexists]

Chefs like him are the reason why I love the culinary world so much. I love his philosophy on getting to know your ingredients on a personal level. Chefs that respect their ingredients usually produce the most amazing foods . I loved this documentary so much 😻

[@tanjimiao]

[@eatyourkimchi]

Thank you!

[@tanjimiao]

aaaaaa！ simon and martia answer me！ this will be my best day ever !!!

[@GliteryIcecreamPanda]

They should make a documentary series of the trips this restaurant takes and the food they inspired... like seriously!

[@marloessss]

You guys did exceptionally well with this video, my goodness!! 😍 I think this video really captures why I - and probably a lot of other people - love Japan so much. I love love love their appreciation of craft and good produce. This brings me back to my own travels to Ehime and other places. Thank you guys for making this. Also, this is actually the first video in my existence where I wish smellivision was already possible. I don't want to know how expensive Sugalabo is for mere mortal humans like me, but manalive I want to go too!

[@さけとば-c9j]

この動画を観た後に「An Open Talk About My Depression」を観たから、ビックリしました。この動画への熱い思いが更に伝わった感じがします。奥様にとって愛媛のオレンジを使ったデザートは、貴重な体験や思い出と共に、かけがえのない一品になりましたね。😌✨ そして、厨房の雰囲気を動画で触れたのは、シェフたちと過ごした時間があったからこそですね。シェフたちチームへの愛を感じました。☺️👍🏻 繊細な料理が作られるまでの行程を知られて楽しかったです、ぜひ行ってみたいと思います！

[@austinanguyen5076]

Oh my goodness- three weeks later rewatching this video and I just figured out that chef Suga's restaurant is called Sugalabo because its Suga's laboratory, aka Suga's Lab, or with Japanese pronunciation: Sugalabo mega derp... but such awesome video! :)

[@jsuhfromchicago]

Watching the worker smiling when saw Simon’s reaction to their food.. it just.. beautiful.

[@vampiro664]

That chef is a true artist.Simply amazing.

[@SweetTsMusic]

As a chef, I appreciate that you guys are not blind consumers. That you have trusted chefs to take you into their mind and into their world to see food from their perspective. It is people like you, Simon and Martina, that drive us to be the best we can be for you💖💖💖

[@robbie025]

Japan is not only about Tokyo. if you plan a trip to Japan, do yourself a favor and go outside of Tokyo. last year, we went to Matsumoto, and it was another experience. We had the chance to talk with locals about pretty much, anything. Simon is soooo rright. Tokyo is nice, but all the country have something to offer.

[@savannahangelici3690]

Ok, I started crying when Martina was talking about her walk to the orange tree, I remember her mentioning it in her depression video. Definitely can hear the passion and love in her voice. Everytime I look at an orange I'll think of her hike up the mountain& her never giving up.

[@wool8001]

You guys look like you had so much fun! Now I want orange juice :

[@eatyourkimchi]

We had an amazing time. One of the best food experiences of our lives :D

[@angellinafosse1936]

This video is incredible, the work you put into these videos really shows. It reminds me of a tv show talking about noma, in Copenhagen. I started to cry watching this, it has an enchanting quality about it. Thank u for the video!

[@hira105]

The cinematography of this video was beautiful, and not only that but the vibes were so pure, and happy, and nostalgic. Watching this has made me want to get into culinary school when i go to college.

[@eatyourkimchi]

I like the way you think!

[@mirandamaria]

Simon and Martina, two of very few people that makes me emotional about food. Everything about this video, the edit, the soundtrack, the clips from being at the farms, then back at the restaurant, then listening to what this amazing chef has to say, the way you guys express yourselves eating food, every-THANG was perfect. I have found so much enjoyment watching your channel and learning about Korean and Japanese culture with you guys.

[@fishytypewriter]

This video was amazing, well shot and edited. It was definitely worth the wait. 👏👏 I love watching you guys go on food adventures, thanks for another great one! 😄

[@GraceN-t6i]

This is what love is...Yosuke Suga's search for knowledge and understanding of what he does. I hope that others can aspire to do the same in their field as well.

[@illlaine]

Been waiting for this video since you mentioned it on your podcasts, and I have to say this was touching and beautiful to watch:)

[@windekresstadrd]

The amount of passion this chef has and just the entire video is just unbelievable. I nearly cried as I watched this and just imagined the feelings and the experience of food from land and culture to plate. This was incredibly beautiful. Great work Martina

[@fragonarag]

Production value intensifies

[@AnimeAddict748]

It's so cute how the chefs all linger to see their reactions and make sure they're having a great experience. So sweet 😢

[@RyosukeIto]

Dekopon is the best citrus? I politely say no, but I am an Ehime local. There are 3 citrus you should eat. Beni-Madonna, Setoka, and Kanpei. These are 3 best citrus in the world.

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Ryosuke Ito we actually ate all three of those as well! The Beni-Madonna had the most surprising texture I've ever eaten in an orange 🍊 and for the final dessert Chef Suga made it included over 10 varieties of Ehime oranges so each bite was a little different. Ehime is so lovely, you must be proud to be from such a great region!

[@da96103]

I think Simon told Martina to try the kanpei.

[@the0other]

Honestly, if this series were to go on tv, I'd watch the hell out of it.... I love the way you guys make those professional food stories, it's amazing!

[@felipebusta8]

Did you guys get a dron? The shots were amazing!!

[@aliceroared]

Felipe Bustamante they've mentioned having a drone in a few videos, so yep :)

[@reversiblefate]

Y'all are really good at making food look so appetizing and genuinely delicious. Sometimes hosts will talk about and praise food but it doesn't turn out quite as delicious, but I trust that if I were to ever try the foods you film, I'd be knocking on your front door in tears like "GOD BLESS YOUR TASTE BUDS AND BRAINS FOR SHARING THIS WITH THE WORLD".

[@さくら-z6h1l]

Omg that was an amazing video absolutely wonderful I love Japanese cuisine 🍣🍘🍡🍙🍥🍜🍱🎌

[@KurouiUsagi]

14:12 I love seeing the delighted chef, who just seems so happy Simon is enjoying the food.

[@cmmiestcat]

Yosuke is one delicious fellow. I can eat him whole day long.

[@SilentSketcherIllustrations]

The eager look on the chef's faces as you started to eat- that says a lot to me. They really wanted to know what kind of reaction you had and well, to see the happiness on your faces. It isn't JUST food to them, it's so heartwarming, I've got all the fuzzy feels. Ahhh!

These videos are beautiful, and worth the wait. I'm disabled, bedridden mostly and your videos make me feel like I'm traveling with you and experiencing Japan, something I've always wanted to do. Thank you, so much. And love and spoons to Martina!

This is a great video! I'd love if there were Japanese subtitles on the English parts though

[@eatyourkimchi]

Hopefully we can get Japanese subs on the video soon!

Simon and Martina Thanks! And thank you for replying!

Oh my God! Guys, you make it so beautifully, I almost cried. I really can feel the sincerity of the Chef. It's amazing to see people so passionate about food, like you guys do! I'm a total fan!

looking down at my ramen and extremely unimpressed all of the sudden

I would die to go on a trip like this. Simon and Martina, you guys are so blessed to be living your dreams out in Japan and seeing the amazing produce, paper, pottery, fish and other things that make up an ideal restauranteur experience for yourselves.

09:12 does anyone else noticed that guy staring intensely to Simon? I think he wanted to see his reaction to the Prosciutto ( >o< )

I love how you are exploring Japan and going so in depth into the culture. You've really expanded your range, and I appreciate how you two constantly improve yourselves.
