JAPANESE FOOD | Eating our way through Hiroshima

[@blueSkies777]

I have spine problems and mostly confined to bed. Watching these channels gives me a sense of what it would be like to travel. Yr channel is so genuine and filled with love, thanks so much for sharing.

[@Torchutube]

Hey folks!, so I'm a new sub to the channel, as a retired US Air Force Flight Crew member, I have been to Japan many times and have many happy memories from there. The things I find most endearing about the channel; 1. the obvious love you share with one another, 2. the total sense of adventure you bring to your vids and vlogs, 3. your love of food and culture! I am a big fan of asian culture, and If I could relocate to another part of the world in my retirement years, Japan would rate high on my list. Best of luck, and future success as you live your lives together. I think the channel is awesome.

[@SUPERGENKI]

I second that! ^^

[@Torchutube]

thanks!

[@canadaisdirtyuglycoldborin9898]

Please no war.

[@TetashiSaya]

Great message! I think all US fans feel exactly the same. :)

[@TetashiSaya]

us fans, not US fans

[@LukeKahlor1]

You guys are literally the most adorable thing on youtube right now.

[@ThatJapaneseManYuta]

Yes! Okinomiyaki in Hiroshima! It reminds me of my childhood :)

[@xXPyrophorusXx]

Okonomayaki. I fool around with it, just because you can do whatever with it

[@ChicagoTurtle1]

Yes

[@pirwzy]

It's so cool seeing how Ryosuke's English is getting better and better over time :]

[@LotusBookWorm]

Ryosuke: I was dehydrated so I was drinking water *cuts scene to Ryosuke drinking a beer* Lol. All jokes aside, I really like the video guys. Thanks for sharing!

[@Stoneysilence]

Beer has water in it... :p

[@sanpakuis5470]

+Stoneysilence alcohol ultimately dehydrates you

[@Stoneysilence]

Kaiam Syester It's still made out of water though...

[@sanpakuis5470]

+Stoneysilence beer is 4 or 5% alcohol, it actually dehydrates you.

[@Stoneysilence]

Kaiam Syester I don't care that it dehydrates you and that is immaterial to my statement.

[@lolcifer]

i have no idea how i ended up watching this video, but I'm really glad i did. you two are just bundles of happiness and i just wanted to say hi and wish you all the best. Sincerely, a new subscriber from Germany

[@thirstisr34l]

I wish I found out about this channel earlier because you guys really know how to make vlog videos interesting and you guys are an awesome couple and because of that I find your videos entertaining, informative and cute. It may seem like the end but I know someday you guys will bounce back with so much to show us about what we missed out as you take care and become awesome parents.

[@andrewsmith3608]

Don't mind the deer.. That's normal..

[@Lilienblut1]

i was thinking exactly the same! x,D

[@scooterdooter]

Probably just as likely to happen in America. Mmm, venison, delivered fresh right to you door!

[@user-jb1ie8qc7y]

I really love you guys' videos! So fun and informative! Thanks for putting yourselves out there and sharing your lives like you do!

[@mcr69mway]

everything looks so fresh and delicious! I love how you get small portions of lots of different foods so you really get to taste everything. it's so different to European restaurants where instead you get one massive pile of the thing you ordered

[@comradekitty8114]

Loved the quality of this video. Excellent job.

[@TaraShulerAuthor]

I've watched this video five times already, and I'm about to watch it again. Love it!

[@rodkenning480]

I love the way Grace's face lights up when she takes a bite of something delicious. Oishi indeed!

[@mixueer]

Ryosuke, your English is really improving; good job!! I just started watching your videos and you guys are so charming! This food looks AMAZING. I've never been to Japan, but I love Japanese food and now I have more #travelgoals and #foodgoals! Hugs from Toronto, Canada!

[@h3m1ghtyHaVoK]

I love watching all of your guys videos !! I recently found your channel and I've never been to Japan but it's always been a dream of mine to come to Japan and eventually move to rural Japan and your videos are always so good and informative! Keep it up guys !

[@barronle5341]

Been watching you couple for years and really admire you both the way you live, enjoy and happiness couple. Cant wait to visit Japan next year.

[@WantedAdventure]

Really cool to see all the different kinds of foods, but oh wow, those bean paste snacks looked REALLY AMAZING. Also the rice balls at the end. Yep, I'm hungry now :D

[@AkwarT]

"Deep fat fried anything is delicious" I definitely agree with this statement and I want it on a t-shirt now! lol

[@brittneystark3084]

Thank you for sharing, I love it when y'all post videos :)

[@taylorgay1641]

I am always so hungry after watching a video featuring food that you guys post! Thank you for the Video!

[@sjhorton1184]

I just caught my first Magicarp and I named it Ryosuke for Ryo-chan.

[@jaimyvandijke3335]

Me and my boyfriend from Holland, visited Japan for 3 weeks in August. We been to Hiroshima and Miyajima as well. Also tried okonomiyaki, those oysters, also had raw eel (SO GOOD) and also even tried the sea snail! Oh men, I want to come back for all that food!

[@josisdope]

Oh myyyy!!! everything look delicious. I enjoy watching your videos especially the food related ones!!

[@gr8o2h2o]

I wish the foods you experienced there could be made here! I miss a ton of food I remembered there and will never remember its names to even ask for it. If I see it, smell it I will know it is it! Just having a great traditional Okonomiyaki would be a phenomenal start! I know there are a very few restaurants that try to make it here but it doesn't even come close. A few foods I almost forgotten that you brought it back to my memory! WOW! A reason to visit Japan again, just for the food!

[@itssewxtra1713]

I could watch food travel videos all day long! This one was awesome--love me some sake!!

[@teraphIl1000]

I purposefully waited for lunchtime to watch this video so as not to get hungry. Although now I'm mad at my food for not being as good as yours looks. :/

[@szoszk]

You did it right. I wanted to go to bed soon, 6 hours after lunch, already a bit hungry. I guess I'm going to eat something first :D

[@Satfirescat]

Rewatching your old videos because I miss you guys. Hope you’re doing well!

[@richardyates2910]

never thought of frying my rice balls before. I'm going to have to make it and try it out. thanks, and this is another great vlog.

[@B4brenda]

Im so glad I found your vlog...It is very interesting! I love it!

[@ayarisiwar833]

hi, we have probably same experience my husband also japanese from Hiroshima and i'm from North Africa, Tunisia . So me too my first favorite food in Japan it was Hiroshima Okonomiyaki, and second food is Takuyaki etc ... i loved Japan and food Japan ... it's so good to share this good things by youtube .. i'm thinking also to start in youtube share my experiences in Japan .. thanks for your nice video .. you both guys lovely and adorable keep continue your nice videos all best :)

[@soloragoldsun2163]

I have a very bad habit of watching food videos at night when I'm hungry...

[@Fatmaj7]

OMG!!! You guys popped up on my "recommend" and after 20 videos, I LOVE you guys!!! (y'all are so cute...must be the "Grandpa" in me!!!

[@camilamenesesg]

You both are like the english version of the channel "Japón con jamón", incredible. They are a couple of a Spanish guy married with the sweetest Japanese girl in the world, both living obviously in Japan. They are friggin awesome ❤ you both too :)

[@Suroki]

I thought they ate all that over a weekend, then Grace casually mentions that it was ONE DAY!! Hahaha what awesome appetites!

[@gennie1975]

I love your travel and food videos!

[@AnimacNut]

Thanks you two, my wife and I are now starving. That all looked delicious, except for the snails.

[@susiewaslike]

You guys are seriously so cute!! Just stumbled across your page and I love watching you guys together! Kawaii couple!

[@SUPERGENKI]

Okonomiyaki and seafood in general - I had some of the best oysters ever in Hiroshima. Great video guys! ^^

[@derekwade4042]

I love you guys! Best foreign country vlogs I know. :D

[@chesca109]

Always love your videos

[@TexaninTokyo]

Thanks!! We appreciate it!

[@teston615]

Looks like A Beautiful Time Thank You For Sharing SMILING!!

[@brendapiper8695]

This made me miss living in Japan so much, we lived south of Hiroshima. Thanks for making me hungry!

[@latorres9611]

Recently ran into your channel....love your vids!

[@hashack11]

Ryosuke and his Captain America shirt xD love you guys!

[@MrKanti-yy5ux]

I appreciate the Hiroshima style of stacking carbs on carbs.

[@srhalnon]

Havent watched a video from this channel in a while. I think Rioske's english has improved.

[@EhiFlowerMask]

In south Italy we eat sea snails but they're smaller. I really like them :D I love your channel it's so cool!

[@jpn_119]

LOL the way Ryosuke said "describe" to Grace when she tried the snail XD

[@angelfly168]

What!? There is just wild deer chilling out on the path with everyone like no big deal and everyone hardly glances at the deer like they are regulars!? That is fantastic!

[@goirkens]

Brief question: I've learned that eating while walking in Japan is considered rude, but you guys were doing that at 3:28 and 3:38. Are there times where it's okay to eat while walking?

[@TheatrePoetDreamer]

Geez, this video made me miss Hiroshima SO MUCH and crave the food there. It definitely brought back a lot of memories...I can almost taste that beautiful, thick okonomiyaki...ugh. I'm ridiculously jealous AND hungry right now, haha.

[@alishadurbrow9254]

Great video. Everything looked delicious.

[@samuellecalvez6699]

Every time you guys drink, Ryo-chan looks so much like a salary men, it's uncanny! You guys are awesome! #relationship goal

[@stormyrain2335]

Loved this video, it made me want to be there. I love trying new things, thank you for sharing, you are a cute couple.

[@cgavin1]

I got to say, the food here is just stunning. All of your videos that feature catering are beyond awesome. I think I would enjoy Japan. I think Westerners are attracted to the order, specifically the attention to detail. It is quite enthralling. I also really dig the range of flavours they favour. The beverages in particular and the use of roots and flowers which nobody eats here - but likely did once, only we have forgotten to our detriment. The biggest, most striking thing though, is the complete lack of PC and (though it may not be a good thing) the overt emasculation/feminisation of everything. That kinda chimes with Texas. You're responsible for you. That is a standard you adhere too (vs compelled too out of fear of consequence) and nobody needs to remove your personal freedoms to determine what is and isn't 'acceptable' in order to homogenize waves of outsiders to maintain the equilibrium. I miss that. It died within my lifetime here anyway. The Japanese may be anti immigration and even overtly racist - I do not see anything wrong with that if it means a uniqueness of culture is preserved. I'm not saying Old Enoch was right, but he certainly had a point.

[@AcmeRacing]

Thanks for this video. My wife and I want to visit Hiroshima someday, with Okonomiyaki and a Carp game as part of the trip. Of course, we'll see the peace museum too.

[@me3]

We were in Hiroshima last week and tried to go to Miyajima, but the typhoon made the waves so crazy that the ferry had to turn back :(

[@nomorebedtime]

I shouldn't have watched this while I'm hungry. Everything looked so good!!

[@happygal1355]

you guys are so adorable!

[@frankrawr7747]

I subbed. I love you guys channel. so fun to watch! and such a happy healthy couple! I hope to make it to japan someday with my wife!

[@Amilynne75]

Ah now I have another favorite. You guys are awesome. First Simon and Martina now you guys.

[@solidust573]

i live for your good food videos so keep em coming! 🍜😆

[@Shadowdancer00]

I visited Hiroshima when I did a travel study to Fukuoka and did all the fun stuff like going to Miyajima and the Peace Park/ Museum but I also went to that exact Okonomiyaki shop (my Okonomiyaki had soba noodles) and it was the first time I ever had okonomiyaki and ever since then any time i eat it I always compare it to Hiroshima's okonomiyaki and I've been spoiled it's too good.

[@YoshikazuHayashi]

Raw eel, you had Norésoré, or baby conger eels? They are seasonal. My favorite. And Grace, I really like your openness to new foods. You not only try them but decide whether you like them with your tastebuds and nostril, not with any prejudice!

[@troberts1]

Pretty sure I would never try the snail, but all that food looks lovely and delicious. And it's fun seeing actual okonomiyaki, except for a Cooking With Dog video I don't think I've seen okonomiyaki outside of manga and anime. XD

[@meister_sd7448]

Not many comments before this. But the review is SO good. @5:24 - Raw Eel - I know.... If you've never had it, I know for Americans it sounds gross. It is actually VERY good. Feels rich in good stuff. Sushi is, to my understanding, fresh sea food with/over rice. So good and healthy.

[@SkyMcSparkle]

Might as well add Japan to my list of travels. I leave from California to New Zealand in 7 days.

[@CookieOwls]

I want to live anywhere there is wild deer just chilling in the streets... 😍 so cute all of that food looked amazing I need to try Japan!

[@KristinLeydigBryant]

Yay! We can't wait to get okonomiyaki when we are there next month. We made them at home but we don't know how close they were to the real ones.

[@138crash]

'Oh watch the deer!' Hahaha Just so casual😂😂

[@rachelk2457]

oh i had a similar okonomiyaki at my locally Japanese owned izakaya in downtown Portland, Oregon last Saturday soooo yummy! it made me go into food heaven!

[@CelestaII]

Just a weird question, are deer frequently just in the middle of the city? Don't think I have ever seen that before...

[@chrissimmons4503]

Details guys! Where did you go! We're going to Hiroshima in October and it all looked amazing. Did you go as part of a tour, as there looked like a guide in the background?

[@SquishySenpai]

I don't know if you'll get around to answering this since the video is older, but I have a food related question! Being that Texas has its own style of food to some degree, have you two ever tried making any kind of fusion cuisine of Texas and Japan? I don't have much off the top of my head but maybe taking your standard beef ramen bowl and throwing it into a tortilla (without all of the broth) with some rice as well and then putting in just a tiny bit of the broth for flavor? Maybe even throw on just a bit of sriracha or some kind of chili sauce?

[@ramio1983]

My biggest regret with my trip to Japan in May was i was NOT daring with food whatsoever. Seeing all of your delicious foods makes me angry at myself for not being adventurous and trying a variety of foods in Japan. My depressing Japanese diet was Ramen, boring food chains and wait for it...7-11 :-(((((

[@bodaciouscowboy]

Well, you'll just have to take another trip to Japan!

[@kathryngruenke5732]

Food is the best art of traveling!

[@pls-shanice]

Your hair looks so cute!! 🌸

[@James-uv8hy]

Best thing I remember about when I visited Japan was the food. Never had a bad meal there. Even the Western food was excellent - my first meal in Japan was at a little German-style hot dog place, I was pressed for time and just needed something quick before catching the subway. Maybe the best hot dog of my life haha, it was that good. I will have to return someday just for the food :)

[@Matando]

I know laws vary from country to country as well as locally; Is it legal to walk around drinking a beer? Also, I am amazed at the many different kinds of foods available and the fact that you have tried as many as you have. This video definitely made me hungry.

[@bitblazer1]

I bought a watermelon pan on the island and one of the deers started following me and tried to take it from me. I had fun in hiroshima.

[@Helvetica09]

Why is there just a deer on the street???

[@ChicagoTurtle1]

...In Miyajima island, yes. A lot of deer.

[@wareforcoin5780]

+Hector P Deer are bums. Get a job, deer.

[@ChicagoTurtle1]

+maichiki yiist ...Oh deer

[@OMGeezerss]

My husband and I will be in Hiroshima in October, what were some of the names of places you went to?

[@saberwolf17]

omg yaki onigiri is so good! I had one at a summer party and i've been thinking of the next time i'll get to have some XD Also great video! Miyajima was so pretty and i'm glad i went! There was an interesting flavor of ice cream i had, i think it was black sesame seed and i really enjoyed the nuttiness.

[@ferngirltlc]

Man, your videos really do make me so hungry...

[@praeothmint2273]

I remember the Okonomoyaki in Hiroshima two years ago... Sooooo good! But, the best is in Saiju, a little village near Hiroshima, filled with Sake Breweries... Hhhhmmm, I loved my time in Hiroshima... :)

[@fellerrionmarchelum9]

Ah the golden age of KZbin. i miss u guys

[@TheGarbron]

Luckily I ate while watching! :D The beer and the age Momiji Manju are looking so delicious!

[@tigoxgirl]

I absolutely loved trying Hiroshima okonomiyaki! Now I miss it so much! >.< It looked so good and I know it's really good! I wish I could go back and try all the different flavors and combinations, I tried to stick to a "classic" version when I got to try it. ^^' If you are still in Hiroshima I hope you continue to have a blast! If you are back home I hope you can rest up!

[@bloodtemplarentertainment]

I literally had that when I was in Hiroshima. Right by the train station. So cool and now incredibly hungry again because it was soooo good!!

[@bloodtemplarentertainment]

Not the same location. I went to a small place to the left(when you are leaving the station) and had the same type of food. haha There was an lady who was coking everything. She was nice, but quiet when I first came in, but then once she heard I was from Texas and after she saw how much I could eat. She was so happy and laughing a bunch! It was an great, great time. Miss Japan so much. Soon, I will be another Texan in Japan, teaching english, just whatever I can do to get over there. Haha

[@bloodtemplarentertainment]

Sorry, I look like I'm talking to myself. But I'm loving this video so much. That I can't wait until the end to comment. The fried food on a stick that I have no idea how to spell was amazing too! Also, you can drink openly in public??? Without a paper bag? O.o! I also visited Miyajima.

[@MarkandMarie]

Can we take a minute to address that deer? >_>

[@TexaninTokyo]

Hahahaha

[@MarkandMarie]

No seriously... Are they just like part of the people? They just walk around and eat snacks?

[@Shadowdancer00]

yup yup! The deer are super domesticated there and aren't afraid of people so that you can go up and pet them if you want (don't do it tho there are signs everywhere telling you to not touch the deer). They go into shops and people feed them and they just walk around chilling

[@MarkandMarie]

That is beyond amazing! Deer are very part of the people here, but they still won't let you near them. They will stand in front of your car, eat out of your bird feeders, gardens, refrigerator, but not your hand. They're not so much domesticated as they have domesticated their humans here. lolol Strange how COMPLETELY different that is just about two hours North of us though.

[@joedirt2656]

People do hunt around here but there was a deer in a park (where it was illegal to hunt) that would come right up to people. It was great. I found out later that some drunk that was petting it cut its throat with a pocket knife and as far as I know, just left it laying there. I have no issue with hunting but that was a truly unfortunate and senseless act.

[@bridgetnash1980]

You two are so cute together. :) And I enjoyed seeing Japan from your point of view. I would really love to visit Japan one day. You have earned another sub :)

[@ptodd5373]

hey great videos makes me want to vacation in Japan. just 1 question is there much gluten free food? I have an allergy and it makes planning vacations hard

[@chrisis123]

When I was in Osaka last year I made a day trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima, and I had lots of Okonomiyaki there. But to be honest I slightly preferred the Hiroshima variant, even though the Osaka version was delicious too... Ah well, anyway, let't just say that I love every Okonomiyaki ;)

[@rickyo8145]

Being surrounded by water in Japan, Is the sea food cheaper then land animals like chicken, beef, pork?

[@tygrahof9268]

"Aren't these the best oysters! Watch out for the deer!" LOL

[@wardw3590]

I like you guys so much that I watch full ads 😍

[@klok7362]

You guys should do the "rejected food challenge" that dudelikehella did. You love food and are good at making it, would be so fun to watch :)

[@food4444lyfe]

I had oysters at that exact same little stand when I was in Hiroshima... 😆

[@Siluialwin]

why am I watching this at night getting hungry when I have guests staying over sleeping in the living room/kitchen? Now I am so hungry and I can't get anything to eat and I have to go to sleep now.

[@rapzfan]

What was the name of the okinomiyaki place that you guys went to?
