The problem with having a dad that's one of the best meat chefs around is that what the son might consider "not too bad" might be top 1% for anyone else on earth!

[@joshwalls9923]

[@nachgekocht2738]

It really was just okay. Have been there last year. Somehow they are missing heat and the meat does not really get a nice crust. The quality may be great, but the preparation is not :/

[@motexas9092]

It’s funny to see the difference in an adult and teen taste buds because we were all young once also

[@TheMacwilson08]

I would like to think it's more that our taste buds change every 7 years. And so, Guga's taste buds seemed more refine to those of who are older and have had the chance to taste different food later in life. His son on the other hand, has probably not been able to. BUT, let us appreciate his son being mature and tasting everything at least once without complaint or being a brat. Guga and his SO, if he has one that helped raise his son, raised his son right.

[@Sniperboy5551]

When I was younger, I hated mashed potatoes, mushrooms, beans and peas among others. Now, you give me mash with a mushroom gravy or beans and my dopamine levels will skyrocket. I tolerate peas, still not a huge fan of them though. I’m glad I’m not British or eating anything Jamie Oliver makes 😂

[@Astelch]

its like that for me as well. One thing i regretted was whenever i was younger and i went overseas i stayed american instead of trying out the local foods. My dumbass wanted pizza, burgers and fries.

[@MogsysAquarium]

[@TheOtherKine]

Mr Guga, Here is the thing about Japan I wished you would have made a point of mentioning, but I'm assuming you didn't know: The Kyoto region in Kansai, is KNOWN for having very faint, light-tasting foods. That is the traditional flavouring of the region, historically. Of course, with modernisation and faster import-exports of goods etc, tastes are all changing everywhere, such as the shock to see Kebab there also! LOL But compared to other regions in Japan, Kyoto is particularly known for having very light flavours. So as you even mentioned that in a couple of the things you ate, that is the reason. If you go to other regions, you will taste things more, or have a different flavour to the exact same thing being sold, but with the style and flavour and taste of that region.

[@ahrisho]

The brown powder is called Kinako, which is a roasted soy flour. The roasting gives it a peanut flavoring.

[@kevinlee8035]

My mom was Japanese and my dad Chinese, so I grew up with all these tastes, as well as an American palate. I lived in Japan for almost 8 years. I'm a little shocked Guga didn't do a little bit more homework. It's best during New Years when you get fresh mochi and eat it with kinako, shoyu or grated daikon.

[@rmarkley79]

I've been to Tokyo a few times and am trying to convince my wife to go for vacation, travel around a bit in Japan. Seeing your videos there, it sure seems a bit more "tourist" friendly than when I was there in the early 2000's. Seeing signs also in English is pretty awesome. There's a big barrier to entry as a solo traveler who doesn't speak or read the language, but I enjoyed my trips to Japan every time!

[@RantingGreekGamer]

*These videos with your son are so good Guga. You two make the perfect duo for tasting new food. Keep them videos coming! Lots of love from Greece!*

[@jaredsharethealoha]

Awesome video, I was in Japan last week. My wife is from Japan so we go all the time. We bought a 14oz A4 wagyu at Costco for $21. Thanks to your videos I cooked it perfectly MR. Great wasabi with wagyu is like horseradish to prime rib. If you ever have questions about Japan or Hawaii let me know. Your steak videos inspire my steaks. Take care Aloha.

[@ImSurefire]

Not to be a downer, genuinely coming from a place of appreciation but: Writing this while trying to hold back tears as I've been watching you for years, even when you were a small youtuber. My dad and I would chill in the living room and binge your videos all the time on across your channels. We'd go out to eat things you did, and I'd try to impress my dad with home cooked dishes you made in videos. You inspired and taught me to cook, and I now have a passion and a life skill that has set me up for success. My dad is unfortunately no longer with us (passed due to colon cancer 10 months ago). Something about hearing you saying "I love my son's honesty" reminded me of how my dad would talk about me and how proud he was. Now I'm crying but I want to say thank you for making the content you do, and for being a great dad, making memories that will stick with your son for the rest of his life. I hope to be a father, like you and my dad, one day. Take care!

Edit: Also of course 4-MMC is amazing, I lived in the UK pre-ban, my mate bought a ki and ended up like scarface with this mountain of cat-piss smelling stuff in his "office".
