Japan Izakaya (Pub style Restaurant) - Eric Meal Time

[@hamsalady]

You should do a live stream at a restaurant and let us choose your food

[@ericsurf6]

Good idea. I choose Ham Salad.

You know it’s going to be a great day when you wake up to an Eric Meal Time in the subscriptions box!

[@louisfarrance571]

What I really like is that Eric takes on board all comments, be them positive or constructive. Thank you for listening Eric, much appreciated.

[@andrewl7734]

Hi Eric, my girlfriend and I are big fans! We watch your videos together over FaceTime, almost every night!

[@MeatCooker]

are you still together ?

[@MattzBrah]

I love my Eric meal time!!! Best thing to watch before bed!

[@ShamrockSake]

Also wanna say, my inner video game nerd loved the McCree "Its High Noon" reference.

[@ericsurf6]

Yeah, my editor put that in there.

[@ShamrockSake]

@@ericsurf6 Hes Awesome, lol.

[@wilsonwilson5922]

Eric just wanna say this, i love your vlogs and think you have one of the best food vlogs out there because you show different unique stuff and not only those highly rated shops but from vending machine, small restaurants to famous restaurants.

[@livardo]

Your facial expressions are the best. Sometimes I can't tell if you're gonna hate something by the face you make, or like it!

[@QuestionBlockGaming]

Yeah!! more pub food! What a great way to start my morning!!

[@nvsilverlady]

What would you recommend to someone who was visiting Japan for the first time on where to stay/lodging? Lowest to high end level

[@EditWithAndy]

Had a lot of fun editing this one!!

[@ericsurf6]

Thanks Andy! I really appreciate you work and attention to detail.

[@pablog7870]

I second that notion - great editing

[@pablog7870]

Thank you for sacrificing yourself for our viewing pleasure hahaha great video Eric “ get some “ “ Wasa B “

[@Bicth97]

so you can only dip once in that sauce tin? is that because they reuse it?

[@christerhall68]

People say Eric must eat more rice, then takes a "big" bite of the rice ball😄

[@LL-qq4go]

You chew everything like there's no tomorrow lol. Drinks water, chews aggressively

[@jeremybiwer8756]

The cabbage leaves are for you to dip in the sauce and add to the katsu after the first dip if you need more.

[@coronagovea]

Can’t wait til you reach a million...😻

[@BethyBlue]

Your face any time you eat a raw egg is everything 😂

[@waynesauntry172]

Some very 'interesting' food choices for this video. I'll pass on the chitlins but would like to try all of the other choices. Really enjoy your izakaya videos.

[@MrVirobot]

I'm from canada. Ever think of coming here and eating Poutine with a true Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich? Love your content Eric. I've been watching your incredible backlog of Eric Meal Time especially, going to work through your other content as well. Great stuff man!

[@theoargyros3618]

I learn so much off of the eric meal time episodes, I recognised more than half of the food just from watching your videos!

[@marcuss237]

6:48 a.m. here in Tx. Gotta watch Ericsurf6. GET SOME!!

[@musmaki4109]

Marcus Smith is Eric’s biggest fan... I reckon he’d watch during his wedding if surf6 had just uploaded.

[@marcuss237]

@@musmaki4109 . You're right. GET SOME!!. Thx for recognizing. Lol. Stay cool.

[@MizTheWitch]

I'd love to ask you a question Eric! I was wondering what's 3 or 4 places in Japan you'd suggest I'd visit if I were to come on a trip, as I've always wanted to go to Japan and plan to come one day! I will probably go to Tokyo but I am open to suggestions outside of Tokyo, I am also not a drinker so bars aren't the best option for me. Thank you for your time and suggestions ~ Miz

[@ericsurf6]

I recommend going to any of the places in my videos that I rank a nom nom nom. Info in video descriptions.

[@XRatedRockstar23]

Anyone else “like” the video before you even watch? Lol Eric Meal Time always rocks :)

[@JASONW1244]

Thanks for posting so much been following for a while and I try to never miss!! Keep up all the good work!!

[@JefficusMaximus]

Here's my question...do you ever get recognized from your videos at all when you're out and about in Japan?

[@999bossy]

Omg that food looks amazing 😍😍😍😍 ahhh even after being subscribed to you for over two years I still just love your videos so much ❤️❤️

[@jerrodp9867]

I've seen a hundred videos, but I'm a new sub now. You have a unique view on Japanese food and you are as cool as the other side of the pillow.

[@pep7890]

Yummy! You sir, always find the most interesting places to eat. Thanks for sharing. Also, congrats on 700+K subs.

[@ericsurf6]

Thanks Pep!

[@chelseys6139]

Love your videos Eric! Love the eating sounds and enthusiasm 😂❤️ Please never stop making Eric Meal Time! 👌🏼 My question is: What is one place you’ve eaten at in Japan that has blown you away? What is the must eat at spot you recommend?

[@zarennaangel1198]

Eric, what places would you recommend for people visiting Japan to eat and visit?

[@ericsurf6]

I recommend all of the places that I gave a nom nom nom ranking for.

[@HemlockHolly]

Fresh uncooked cabbage smells wonderful and is sweet and delicious! Love the fresh soybeans too! You are brave trying every food. Your descriptions spot on, you are very honest. Great video, keep them coming please...

[@slfd2530]

Because of you and your videos I learning Japanese food. Where in the states would be close to JAPAN based foods. Thank you for another great video

[@JulieT..]

Thank you for sharing Eric. So interesting to see all the different foods available. Looks tasty! 🍽 👍

[@perdomot]

I found out about kushikatsu 3 years ago and have been hooked ever since. My place in Tokyo is called Kushizaru in Ueno and I always go there several times when I'm on vacation.

[@jaehaspels9607]

I eat cabbage leaves w/ ponzu dipping sauce a lot. It's a great diabetic snack. No carbs. Thanks for the vid. The food was different and looked good.

[@elvenmagejr1905]

Eric, do you like deep sea fishing? What's the biggest fish you have ever caught? Also, I think it would be interesting to see a video of you catching something and taking it to a restaurant to have them cook it for you.

[@sm00ches79]

Love waking up to a cup of coffee and my Eric videos😊

[@Endboss22]

I instantly liked the video when I heard 'high noon'

[@rebeccaalabada1064]

Wow! Lots of interesting food! Some looked really good! My question(s): 1. What made you decide to do KZbin? 2. Have you ever gotten sick from any of the foods you've eaten from your videos?

[@ninisworld667]

Why am i only now finding this channel? I love it! Please keep doing these. What do the sausages taste like in japan?

[@manabecky6011]

Thanks for explaining Bulldog sauce..Im sure yo have explained many times before but as always love your channel #1 fan!

[@jamesneuhauserakajimdogg6096]

Thank you for another delicious show Eric. All those fried foods and that house sauce, ughhh you’re killing me lol. Go Team Get Some!!!

[@pokcay]

Good God i’m finger crossing that i’ll get accepted at grad school in Niigata. I would very much like to meet up with Eric and go on a food adventure!

[@richardgladd266]

Good luck hope you get accepted my friend

Great video!!! I always look forward to these. Yummy! And you are so funny

[@rodpasichnyk9140]

What is Japanese mayo made of, is it like North American mayo? It's eaten on everything there?

[@ericsurf6]

Japanese mayo is thicker & more rich in taste.

[@TeddieSook]

they also have mayo smoothie. YES, im serious!

[@Ant29]

Japanese mayo is amazing!

[@tomhardware2254]

I bought kewpie Japanese mayo, it taste exactly like miracle whip. I was very disappointed. Not that I don’t like miracle whip but I thought Japanese mayo would be some hidden wonderful taste I have been missing.

[@nintendonut100]

Uses more egg yolks I think and uses rice wine vinegar, it's got a really nice tang to it

[@emmaleong5025]

I love all these izakaya videos

[@jeffglenn7609]

Okay I have a question Eric how long did it take to learn to read Japanese characters and how much farther do you have to go to be fluent

[@elvisdapanda193]

Jeff Glenn great question lol I’ve always wanted to know this too haha

[@babsrodriguez5267]

My question exactly.

[@MrJust4lolz]

the head of cabbage is made for u to use as a bowl for the dipping sauce in case u want to double dip so this way you double dip into your own private sauce instead of the table's sauce

[@DAVE-J-B]

The one dip restaurants give you cabbage so you can use the cabbage leaf as a sort of spoon to add more sauce...

[@johnsass3343]

You may have told us before....but how did you meet your wife?

[@laineygrace8162]

Something so calming watching and listening to Eric's vlogs! 🤗

[@BethyBlue]

Yay! You had the tempura sting ray and you said you prefer it another way so it’s nice to get to see that.

[@aroramami206]

I would so love to try this,great video Eric

[@superbroadcaster]

Wow Eric I watched you way back in 2008 on here visiting the tower with the locks on the chain link fence, and watching your magic videos! Keep up the good work!

[@cassidylong6305]

Love that you like your greens. Do you really like them or only eat them because they are good for you?

[@tinamoton9694]

I put raw cabbage in my salad it's so good and I like it by it's self as well

[@ShamrockSake]

If someone were to be planning a trip to Japan, what would you recommend they mostly focus on food wise?

[@09ramsie]

I Love the Japanese pubs there so cheap and tasty great video Eric 😀👍📹 and my question is what is your hardest stunt you have attempted in guy in a suit.

[@PinkDoveRS]

I'm curious about the person behind the camera, is it always the same person? do they order some of their own food, I notice you always seem to save some assuming that is for the person behind the camera but had to ask? would sometimes be cool to see them/get their opinion on some food too

[@ericsurf6]

I have a dozen different people to help me w/camera. They always eat!

[@rebeccathomas5494]

It's an arrow no you okay I think you are because I don't know you and yesterday was Easter

[@ericsurf6]

Yes! Check out Japanese Ammo with Misa channel for the best Japanese lessons on KZbin. Tell her I sent you.

[@giornnogiovanna4466]

I know this video is a year old but the cabbage they serve you is actually meant for their “house sauce” in the event you want to double dip or need extra sauce you can actually dip the cabbage into the sauce and use it as a spoon to get sauce onto what you are eating.

When not filming Eric Meal Time what do you normally eat?

[@ericsurf6]

Vegetarian
