Honest question, not a criticism: Are instant foods like this in Japan healthier than their counterparts in America? Cuz they look pretty tasty... 🤠 If they are more healthy than American convenience foods, I'M SO JEALOUS! 😂

Someone has to explain, what's wrong with breaking the pasta? I like my spaghetti long, personally, but my mom has been breaking it in half since I was a child, so what's the official argument against it from the Italian standpoint?

Ive been on a binge of all your content recently, I have a friend who has a friend that lives in japan, and ive recently been thinking about a trip to Japan with my fiance. I love seeing how different things are in japan in terms of food, culture, and so much more. This is a wonderful video, thank you for keeping me entertained.

Awesome video as always Paolo. Japan 🇯🇵 has some of the most unique convenient store food options on the planet 🌎

[@bananasunday2845]

My favourite saying has always been: Japan has been living in the 2010's since the 1980s, and today, still lives in the 2010's. It's amazing how much things have changed outside Japan in the last 4 decades. Not to discount all the great things they have today, but the wow-factor compared to 30 years ago really is apparent. I remember asking why no one knew how to use a computer (since they did everything on their mobile phones) thinking how it was ridiculous. Here is us today doing pretty much everything on our smartphones, they really were ahead. But today, it feels like there are a few things in Japan that really awes me like before. Show people the instant-heating bento/curry boxes by pulling the string. I thought those were super awesome! Basically a civilian MRE but with way better food!

[@creascher1506]

4:03 You can't do that. Now at least 30 nonnas have fallen into grief because of their shock. 😨😰🤣🤣🤣

[@PK_Giygas]

awesome vid Paolo! I'll be visiting Japan soon and can't wait to spot some of these in the wild!

[@AM_I_JUST_A_BLACK_SHADOW_TOO]

Hi guys 😀 im always very happy when i receive a notification that you uploaded a new video. BTW i live in Canada, so around here quick microwave meal havent been popular at all for the last 5 years or so. People watch what they eat, as they try to eat healthier and also they try to save as much money as possible since food prices nearly doubled since the covid outbreak a few years back. So we tend to buy stuff on sale, and make a bigger batch and freeze some for later. Even many restaurants had to close due to loss of customers. I look forward to your future videos Paolo🤗

[@TheBaldr]

Single serve curry/Hokkaido Stew packets. Just boil water put in 5 minutes, serve on rice. Brilliant.

[@dionelr]

Oh, I remember those gyoza packs! I did regularly get the curry in a bag, where you just boil the whole thing and pour it over rice (which you always have in japan). I really miss all the good, easy dinners.

[@T3CHGY007]

That was a fun video! Also a perm would look good on you! lol

[@paulccrimmins]

Aloha 🤙 from Honolulu! Great video, Paolo. Interesting stuff.

[@AJ-qi4fp]

In Japan packed food is consumed regularly that's why it is feasible for the companies to sustain and provide fresh packed food.....in India we have only few items that are available in packed food category - like cup noodles, chicken nuggets, bugger patties and some companies do have other Indian dishes provided as packed food...but I have never tried anyone of these...except for cup noodle from Nissin (Japan) and Maggie (Nestle) and recently some companies from South east Asia to have offering in cup noodles category...but yet to try....I have been watching your video and I have become a "fan" of Japanese people for their humbleness, eye for detail, devotion, dedication and simplicity.

[@i.h.978]

Love guioza so much I'd definitely buy this tons of times as well hahaha so much innovation, Japanese people are so creative. The way Paolo and Maiko relate is adorable, they're like the best friends ever ❤ The Udooooon! Wish we had it here as well

[@BurgerwithPeanutButtter]

I think a _loose_ perm could actually work for him. Like gentle waves, not tight curls. Then use some pomade to give it a bit of body.

[@erwinchan6077]

Our costco now sells those ajinomoto gyozas now. It's amazing and you get a huge amount of them!

[@sirskidney7998]

I was going ok until you got to the udon hotpot - I’m so hungry now I’m going to have to get something to eat! Great video Paolo and Maiko. Your laugh in the background makes me smile Maiko! Thanks guys and take care.

[@donnaplumridge9769]

I absolutely love the combined condiments, came across that when we went to Disneyland Tokyo of all places for our hot dogs. Very ingenious!

[@ZayMadeITBeats]

I'm happy to see you and I hope that you guys will recover for the storm. I will be there next year

[@katarina1338]

[@michaelnguyen823]

4:03 Lionfield will have a word with you now.

[@tucoerquilenne6765]

We wish we had this in the US. Our similar stuff is the microwave stuff. The big push now days in our local grocery stores is the "healthy" microwave stuff 🤣

[@garlicgirl3149]

I would definitely try some of these.

[@Carla_Valjeta]

Paolo we've had that sauce packet in Australia since 1990 (the one at 9:00) it was invented in Australia

[@1403Devil]

At 5: 28 In germany we would not be allowed to use the "Quick cookies noodels" because of its shape ... 5:28

[@amak1131]

I've never seen microwave spaghetti in the US and is such a missed opportunity. I love it as a simple meal but hate dirtying so much to boil the noodles and heat up the sauce.

[@thesecretown]

the sauce packets seem pretty good with the chocolate and stuff, kinda wild to think the Australia has had them with regulars sauces since the 90s and not done that

[@beverlyteh4676]

Yuri is so humble and a pleasure to watch

[@josepadilla4024]

For those that haven't bought the hot sauce yet- DO IT! Such good flavor and potent. I only put a few drops in dishes like chilli and its great

[@ASHLEYGUILLAUME]

Its good to see you again brotha. I know that you are busy but I hope that you post more brotha. I love your content and I miss the GTR. LOL. Blessings to you and your family brotha.

[@singularity3223]

Hi Paolo! Greetings from Chile ❤These kind of products are not seen in non-asian countries 😢 it's quite hard to find easy to prepare, well balanced products. Also you don't find very often umami flavors, so whenever I want to eat something like that I have to go to an Asian market, and everything there is around 4 times the original price (A miso cup noodle costs around 4.20 dollars each)

[@brianflynn5355]

These are all specifically Japanese. Don't put Asians together as a single ethnic group. Japanese products are not the same as inferior Chinese & Korean knockoffs. Is Chilean culture the same as Mexican culture? Are all Latin American culture & cuisine the same?

[@Charlotte-kv7bk]

Thank u😊

[@hamsternchips]

It seems that Japanese eat lots of processed and packaged food and yet they are some of the healthiest people in the world. How is that?

[@quakerz1228]

picked up some paolo from tokyo hot sauce from tsukiji market a while ago, can't wait to try the new flavour!

[@Itsabeautifulife]

Very cool food packaging! I’m not for heating up foods in plastic bags but that udon looked really good!

[@geelek4813]

I would like a 7/11 in Germany, with everything like in Japan and also affordable. The pasta bags in particular looked really good, maybe a little too watery, if the taste is right it's fine.

[@TheMadrashowdy]

The thing that you do @ 4:20 was already available in India during late 90's and even was getting exported to US. Pre-cooked curries came in hard plastic bags that can be kept outside or in the fridge. You could simply boil water in a pot and place the unopened pouch for a few minutes in the pot and that was it. Hot tasty food was ready to eat. But due to the push to avoid plastic both in India and in the US, the product didn't fly out well.....

[@volundrfrey896]

Thing with the pasta though is that a fresh pasta takes 3 minutes to cook (not including boiling the water) so are you saving time when it takes 13 minutes to microwave it?

[@TechGuyBeau]

Watching this while eating pizza with Paulo’s hot sauce on it as always. Can’t wait for the new one for my partner who is less heat tolerant than me

[@heeroyuy809]

Paolo hairstyle is popular in the Philippines way back in 2010, we used to rock that style in elementary and high school, and i think it was inspired by dragon ball z 😂

[@callasky]

No Italians are involved on the second invention 😂😂

[@dewinovita4551]

All-in-one hot pot is marvelous! Thanks, Paolo

[@tomsawyer118]

2:54 so I had like a 1/16th of a bottle left(such small bottles for a hot sauce lover😭😭) and made a salsa verde with crazy amount of peppers. I added some water and shook the bottle clean and added it to the mixer, crazy enough, the taste of you hot sauce actually punches through everything else🤯. Imo still not hot enough though🤪

[@galaxy_brain]

[@joshuashibata1840]

Actually the squeeze sauce condiments is something that I believe several diners (Denny’s, ihop, etc) have utilized in the states for at least a decade or two. Otherwise everything is very cool.

[@blablup1214]

The last one would be a real bummer for me, as I am sure you can't heat this on an induction stove , so I would have to make a pot dirty 😅

You can try but not worth it tho lol And I love konbini stores and hate the people criticize like " like you went to Japan for just knobini store then is not worth it" I would say is worth it but not for this food Paolo showed is mostly just frozen food Try other things Like the stuffed onigiris or the lots of bread sandwiches or candies or chocolates or ice creams on the konbini(classic vanilla ice cream in a cup too)

[@skydivenext]

Go on and search " mudan my favorite snacks " those are goodies you should treat yourself
