INCREDIBLE Chicken Ramen in Osaka, Japan | Japanese Food Tour!

►Osaka Food Guide: migrationology....
On Day 7 in Osaka, we headed straight to eat one of the best bowls of ramen I’ve ever had in my life, and after that we ate okonomiykai.
1:20 Ramen Yashichi (らーめん弥七) - Just down the street from where we were staying, there was a ramen restaurant that Dwight took us to, called Ramen Yashichi (らーめん弥七). It’s a very famous ramen restaurant in Osaka, and from the moment they open their doors for lunch (and before), there’s typically a line waiting outside. We waited in line in anticipation, and finally got in and ordered. It turned out to be probably the finest bowl of ramen I’ve had, really incredibly good.
Ramen Yashichi (らーめん弥七)
Address: 3-4-8 Toyosaki, Kita-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka
Open hours: 11 am - 4 pm on weekdays only (closed on Saturday and Sunday)
How to get there: Ramen Yashichi (らーめん弥七) is very close to Nakatsu Subway station. Once you exit the station, walk east, and the ramen restaurant is just before you reach the main highway.
6:03 Okonomiyaki Kiji (きじ) - After an incredible bowl of ramen, we headed over to the Umeda Sky Building where we went to a restaurant called Okonomiyaki Kiji (きじ) to eat one of Osaka’s most famous foods - okonomiyaki.
Okonomiyaki still isn’t my favorite food, but this was pretty good, and what I really liked about the restaurant is that the chef was extremely nice and friendly. A great place to try okonomiyaki when you’re in Osaka.
Okonomiyaki Kiji (きじ)
Address: 1-1-90 Oyodonaka, Kita-ku | B1F Umeda Sky Bldg., Osaka 531-0076, Osaka
Open hours: 11:30 am - 9:30 pm from Friday - Wednesday (closed on Thursday)
How to get there: Okonomiyaki Kiji (きじ) is located on the basement floor of the beautiful Umeda Sky Building. It’s about a 10 minute walk from Osaka Station.

[@gregkatic1847]

+Jamie N your name is NOT Jamie?

[@高木正弘-h6c]

+Jamie N thank you for thumb up my country.

[@yunanamaia6860]

I thinka so, 😄😄

[@perdomot]

Ramen is the food I miss the most when I'm not in Japan. That okonomiyaki food looked so tasty. Awesome view from that building.

[@MarkWiens]

+Perdomot Thank you... and even though ramen is all over the world, there's something special about eating it in Japan!

[@perdomot]

I agree. Nothing like getting it from the source.

[@perdomot]

Me too. My breakfast was often canned coffee and some sort of bread from Famima.

[@JadenYukifan28]

I never had Okonomiyaki before, but I have had Yakisoba....

[@baharombobby8199]

U

[@phantamnhu]

A bit late but just read your whole blogpost. Gotta say, the information and photography was phenomenal! Commented and am staying tuned for further posts!

[@flyingthenest]

Ohhh that ramen looks AMAZING!!!!

[@johnnyhuynh1101]

Get out of here xD

[@sorasky9553]

We went to that tiny okonomiyaki restaurant 7 years ago - the food was tasty and the staff made us feel so welcome. They even gave us an okonomiyaki spatula to take back home to London - still use it for cooking today!

[@sasaugebun]

watching your japanese vids makes me really want to go Japan.....=D

[@cindyduong714]

6:53 I love this guy and the pride he displays when making good food. Octopus on top looked amazing.

[@javidrafiek]

It's kinda strange how this guy almost never blinks

[@jackiebayliss]

You know I never noticed that until I read your comment Lol 😂

[@solmazr5688]

Omg you’re right lol

[@Chaosfoxx]

i said that in few of his pass videos 😂

[@aprilsspace3145]

His face is so refreshing. so happy all the time!

[@AliciaGoh_comethecheerywine]

He seems so sincerely happy about his food in all his videos, that I think it'll be a really strange experience being his friend watching him eat when we hang out

[@DeSoto1986]

Mark, Thanks for being so respectful and appreciative in ALL your videos. You never try to be a 'star' and you are always informative. You have absolutely no phony qualities in you whatsoever. The food you try is unreal and you have the best travel show I've ever seen. Big thank you Mark & your Wife. Great stuff!!

[@BLamorous]

Ying has the cutest smile 😊 .

[@PAC-ib5gq]

Mark, you are an inspiration ! Everytime I watch your vlog I start craving whatever it is you are enjoying. Your descriptions are as delightful as your expressions when you eat. Wonderful work !

[@Chaosfoxx]

i dont know how to say this but, every time i eat a bowl of Maruchan Ramen noodles, i enjoy it more by watching mark eat, is anyone else experiencing that 😂

[@ndog37]

I have been to this restaurant when I visited Japan, and discovered it just by walking by on the way to town. When I came back 15 min before opening time I saw a huge queue so straight away I knew it must be good. I got thrown off by the vendor machine, but fortunately I was with some friends who showed me the system. I have been to Japanese restaurants in other countries outside Japan but nothing ever tastes as amazing as this. The care and way the create this food is amazing. It is truly an artform.

[@blakemiles3728]

They look so delicious!Correct me if I am wrong but, I noticed that Mark Wiens DID NOT BLINK in the entire video(except when he tasted the ramen), because he was very delighted. Good times. Brings back memories.....

[@miatj5809]

I love watching you eat, it makes the food 10X more delicious. My brother go to Japan every other years. And he's always talking about eating ramen, he stated he could eat ramen everyday. Thanks again for a great ramen video.

[@brentmcguire9429]

Hi Mark, not sure if you will see or read this comment but after hearing you say Okonomiyaki is not one of your favourite foods, and after seeing the Osaka style you ate where the batter and cabbage is all mixed up together into one big pancake, I totally would agree with you, However, you need to try the Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki which is a whole different experience that would uses a thin crepe style pancake on the bottom with lots of cabbage on top. It is out of this world. If you ever make it to Tokyo I would be more than happy to take you to the best Okonomiyaki restaurant in Japan...bar none. Love your videos and have watched you for a couple of years now. Brent (an American born and raised in Japan)

[@dattaanvekar1793]

The expression you bring out the instance you put the food in, is my favourite part in every videos

[@petorious_big3767]

Drinking game for all marks videos: 1.evertime he leans hes head 1 shot 2. everytime he says tender 2 shots

[@PAC-ib5gq]

+Petorious 23 lol

[@Kullioking]

+Petorious 23 Will you kill me? I will be very drunk if i play this game.

[@ber2704]

I rather change it into an Oreo eating game. Mark is gonna make me so happy, but :| at the same time.

[@nichicatseven1044]

+Petorious 23 I did this. Do not recommend. Felt ill for days after lol.

[@MRuckert]

every time he says "oh yeah" after eating something 3 shots

[@SiSaSyres]

My wife and i are on a 3 week Japan Trip and we are now in Osaka. Wehn i saw this vid i know we have go there to eat, and it was so gooooood. Really a amazing Restaurant. Thanks Mark for your Osaka food Tour. Love it

[@mehdan2]

[@88norimaki]

+mehdan2 No no come on , we love anthony too.

[@LuisOliveroGomez]

This kind of high quality content make me believe that the future o television is right here on KZbin. Congrats for the Giant food Blog publish about Osaka food, it is beautifully done.

[@jackson11250n]

Good stuff Mark. Much appreciated.

[@TheMasterOfCook]

these vlogs from Japan are great Thank you :-).

[@MarkWiens]

+TheMasterOfCook Thank you for watching

[@charmdelacruz7810]

I love Okonomiyaki... the Chef's are so kind hehehe...

[@MarkWiens]

+Charm Dela Cruz Good to hear that, I found in Osaka they are especially nice.

[@bbface44]

Loved the ramen that they served in Japan. The egg, the broth etc was out of this world. We ate it every day when we were vacating in Fukuoka. I personally cannot get enough of it. Every ramen restaurant have their own distinct flavours.. mmm . Just thinking about it makes me hungry and I'm back in the UK now.

[@kokoko31]

Hello, I'm a residence of Osaka city. I'm enjoying your posts these days. Thank you very much for your yummy-posts about Osaka and Kobe. My favorite Osaka's dishes are "Kaiseki" at most expensive traditional restaurants, say Kicchou, Uoman etc. Traditional Japense dishes became "perfect" in Osaka. It will cost you tens thousand yen though, please try them if you are interested in them, because it is the authentic Osaka's dishes. My favorite Okinomiyaki restaurant is Turuya near Tenma Sutation. I love their Mix-Modern-Yaki. Also, please try it if you want. I hope your trip in Osaka becomes the best trip ever for you.

[@bgishy]

Thanks Mark any Ying! I had no idea Japan offered such a wide variety of foods. This was great!

[@jbuzzy]

Ramen is amazing and all I've ever had is instant Ramen, really like it. I can only guess how real Ramen must taste. Your Osaka Food Guide is great. You cover so many foods and restaurants. Thanks

[@jcman-lp6lg]

+Lek Buzzy Yeah its kinda sad I really want to eat real ramen but probably will never get to let us be sad together brother. T-T

[@ちゅんちゅん-b1w]

[@MarkWiens]

+Kim July Thank you Kim

[@enseventealp]

I found your KZbin channel because I'll be heading to Japan and Korea in January 2017. I can not wait to try out all these amazing places.

[@joshymana6411]

ENSeventea same here! Will be going tokyo, osaka and seoul January 17-26!

[@ITzGun123]

Hey Mark I got a question. Why do you tilt your head to the right every time you have a bite of a meal

[@johnstack5008]

He tilts his head when he likes the food. The more he tilts, the more he likes. If he ever falls off the chair, means it's the best thing he's ever had :)

[@fhcalderon]

I love it how japanese always try to explain things in japanese even if you don't have any idea but at the end you kinda feel like you understood.

[@samanthavang384]

Im hungry now mark! 😋🍴

[@osakameetup]

If you’re visiting Osaka, you should Meet and talk to locals who like speaking English and meeting foreigners. Join a meetup event. Thank me later.

[@faker1315]

this is the face that will haunt you dreams 3:16

[@sidharthmandal9957]

😂😂😂😂

[@LBenjamin]

I tried this ramen based on your video! and the time that I went, the queue wasn't very long. The ramen was awesome! Thick and buttery. So delicious!

[@LiangHuBBB]

I could eat Ramen all day long lol

[@MarkWiens]

+LiangHuBBB Glad you love ramen

[@panda-xq1dy]

+Mark Wiens it would be good if u showed Yings cooking and your reaction to it btw love ur vids

[@keithchoo9530]

+Mark Wiens I love Udon more than Ramen, which one do you prefer?

[@charogomez402]

Im here in Saudi . i always watch your video. thank you Mark, giving us best ideas in traveling.

[@topcatrox]

These videos always give me mixed feelings. I love the content, and Mark is a great guide when he doesn't have food in his mouth, but at the same time it's really hard for me to sit through the same dead-eyed, wide-eyed stare into the camera for every bit of food that's eaten.

[@gwenndavidd]

Thanks for all of your posts. I stumbled across your channel by accident and look forward to your latest vlogs. I hope to visit Osaka in the near future and will keep in mind the places you have shown us. Have a blessed trip.

[@Robbyjubbly]

Hey Mark, your videos are awesome as always! ive been watching your videos for a few years now and your video about starting your own blog has really inspired me to do so! your resource on your website is so beneficial. Hope it wont be too long before you come to London again so we can munch together. Keep it up mate!

[@MarkWiens]

+Robert Ngo Hi Roberto, thank you very much, and so cool to hear that. Definitely if we come back to London, would love to munch!

[@Robbyjubbly]

Nice one Mark. Look forward to your next blog :)

[@wbsurfer123]

You deserve a spot on the travel channel!

[@mechineylee]

That face when he eats something delicious

[@tusharnagar9300]

Chiney Lee lol that head movement is absurd

[@vefge]

Visited that humble ramen shop last December. Magnificent. Glad I slurped every last drop because I knew I won't be having such a fantastic bowl in a long while.

[@bioroid09]

Hi Mark, great videos. I have a question though. The last time I went abroad and tried to film my experience I was threatened by locals trying to take and break my camera equipment. I wasn't filming people, just the scenery and the places around me. This experience really put me off from filming my experiences abroad and when I do I am not able to capture as much footage as I want, fearing for my own safety. Have you ever experienced this before? Do you usually ask for permission before filming? Thanks again for these great videos, keep up the great work.

[@MarkWiens]

+bioroid09 Thank you very much and for sharing your experience. I have never experienced something so severe like that, but I have been told to turn off the camera numerous times. I think it could really depend on the country / culture you're in. I'd really encourage you to go for it again. I think times are changing and cameras and phones are so common that less and less people care. Thank you for your support.

[@sotheavyyean1764]

+Mark Wiens I enjoy watching your video everyday and never get enough, Did you ever go to Cambodia?

[@unebonnevie]

+bioroid09 Where did you go abroad? I doubt it was Japan!

[@totallywinningprogamer9860]

What country did you go to?

[@godz1ll4]

i am in Japan at the moment and they dont mind me filming but i feel that the japanese, they dont want to be in the film, maybe shyness. On the other hand, in australia they are quite strict with filming in restaurant

[@ladysin676]

i envy the joyfulness you and your wife share together traveling the world and tasting all the food together

[@lhouwn9997]

Your eyes look like it will burst out any second

[@sidharthmandal9957]

😂😂😂

[@christineostanoski682]

Mark n Ying, thanks you for all these educational videos. Awesome job! I totally enjoy ur them!!!

[@diabeticduck6295]

"just finished eating that bowl of raw men" lmao k

[@MK-zd2gd]

okonomiyaki looks delicious. I will definitely visit there next time. Osaka is known for delicious comfort foods and friendly people. You absolutely nailed it.

[@Ramza941]

Has anyone ever told you, that you look like Gollum when you eat?

[@naomichung380]

Going to Japan soon - your videos have been such a joy of anticipation. Thank you Mark!

[@CourageousKitchen]

We almost got kicked out of this famous ramen spot!

[@1981cherokee1]

Why?

[@Heeroy2]

+1981cherokee1 probably because they had to eat fast so other people could eat too

[@CourageousKitchen]

exactly!

[@MarkWiens]

+Sōma Yukihira Ha, yup!

[@AshParajuli86]

+Bangkok Fatty I've noticed that with many eateries in Japan because of the small sizes and demand, you don't have time to sit there enjoy meal and chat.

[@ducanhnguyen7552]

Hey Mark! You are the first and only Food-KZbine i follow, for me you are the best one!

[@robertpawluk5809]

How much does your chiropractor bills cost with all that neck cranking?

[@johnflores3252]

i just want to say, prawns from thailand, roasted pig from the philippines, beef from kobe an the tuna from osaka.... you hit the holy trinity of food and more.

[@freshflow101]

[@caseblaze]

rich, tender, creamy, and absurd.

[@jeromepickus5539]

the food at the bar is to die for; looks sooo goood.

[@mdlc0309]

[@catmessiah730]

That ramen and the okonomiyaki looked especially delicious. Whenever I get the motivation to fly over to Japan, I want to make a stop to Osaka.

[@CryptoForager]

Is there a video in which you haven't liked the food?

[@blossomgonzales7410]

Yes, airplane food. He he

[@clarencejanjimenez8397]

[@RKVlogs.Family.Food.Travel]

+Sol Fayerman-Hansen lol epic head movement

[@ItsSomeDeadGuy]

+Sol Fayerman-Hansen His other okonomiyaki video was one. He makes it clear that it's not his favorite food. There's also a video where he ate really bad food in Koh Samui.

[@WayOfShotgun]

I went to Japan a few months ago! I wish I would've seen this video before then haha that okonomiyaki restaurant looks really good. I'll make a note for next time I go

[@stage666]

Ying is beautiful

[@Pugmie]

+yoshinosakura Nothing is as beautiful as Mark Weins' reactions, not even Mark Weins himself is as beautiful as his own head leaning expressions.

[@carunovi]

Hey Mark I am Carlos from Panamá, really good production, I enjoy so much every video that let me feel and know from Japan meals and his culture!!!

[@nikolajame8846]

[@ashitankhamho2894]

You're lying for sure
