JAPANESE REACTION SERIES- THE BEST TEMPURA in MANILA !?!?

[@jcasa12]

From my own experience about japanese restaurant franchised overseas, in the begining they are good and reasonably priced. But over time they become expensive and not so good, until even the taste becomes different. To keep japanese restaurants quality consistent , requires, dicipline, skill and dedication. Its not just feeding the masses, it is also a kind of art and there are those who master it.

[@watanabejun]

I totally agreee with youuuu!!!!! hahaha maybe Staff doesnt know original taste from hurt and brain, they might not notice even if taste goes down maybe! hahahaha arigatooo japanese food lover can tell differences and yesss it is art and that's why quality consistent is difficult hahah or maybe they exchange with cheaper ingredients!

[@ehdidan]

Sometimes I watch your videos late at night and it is such a wrong timing because I get hungry every time, especially the soft serve! where am I going to get that at this late hour? haha thanks for the videos, something about you eating and reviewing food is fast becoming a brand, Jun. Keep it up!

[@watanabejun]

ahahahahah arigatoooo : ) sucha a wrong timing watching food hahaha me editing time is always hard time so share my feeling too hahaha I WANT SOFTY NOW!!!

[@oxoelfoxo]

i liked seeing you eat every grain of rice. i'm like that as long as i can fit it in (and the food isn't horrible)

[@watanabejun]

ahahaha arigatoo! its part of my culture! most of japanese do it I guess

[@chrisguwapo]

Amazing food education....Jun-sensei....I can't wait to try Kiwami!!!!!

[@watanabejun]

arigatoooo : ) yeeeeesss This Tendon, approved hahhaha

[@manokchicken]

Matsuya was one of the first chain restaurants I always came back to when I first visited Japan many years ago. At first I didn't know it was Matsuya because I can't read it, I just always say "that gyudon restaurant with yellow and blue circles." LOL! I thought it was soooo gooooooood. And for Php300+, it was great value for money. Especially after walking all day and being a tourist around Tokyo.

[@watanabejun]

YEEEESSSS yellow and blue circles!! hahahah when I was in highschool way way back days, it was only Php.150 : ) well still cheap with good quality and yes, I always go there too once back to Japan : ) happy that you know it hehehe arigatoo for the comment!

[@mommyanna9122]

Missing japan food. Great value for money and what you see is what you get. 💯

[@watanabejun]

truelol I misss Japan food tooo hahahah

[@mommyanna9122]

I agree. We went to japan last feb. and i ordered my usual mcdo breakfast burger sausage mcmuffin and i am surprised the burger patty is not as salty as in the philippines.

[@watanabejun]

ohhhh just recently!! Yeass different taste and different menu (samurai burger I wanna try)

[@manuelmacalinao500]

You should also try tendon kohaku in bgc. Its not the usual tempura its crunchier because the sauce is heavy.

[@watanabejun]

okieeee noteeed Tendon kohaku! sounds good already hahahaa arigatooo!!!

[@alanagbayani4899]

Am getting hungry watching your video hahaha

[@watanabejun]

hahahah sorry sorryy that's exactly how I feel when editing hahahaha

[@p.denoga6081]

Ah, that’s not a hard ask. Can definitely try McDonald’s, Yoshinoya and Tenya in Japan.

[@watanabejun]

Yeeeeessss!!! some of traveler think they have to go authentic japanese restaurant to feel japanese food, but for me to feel Japan, I go those three franchise direct when I go back to Japan hahahaha its very different and that's what we local japanese eat hahaha

[@blazingfire94]

When I first tried Tenya in SM wayback 2015 it was so nice the price was just right, but recently the price is so high and the quality is kinda bad now. WOW, I am impressed you finished that bowl. I might try that if I ever visit that place. Man, I missed Japan already from watching your video hahaha. I was there at Asakusa, Tokyo last February of this year. I've tried Bai Shrimp Fillet-O in マック at Akihabara and it was so delicious. The prices of the food in the restaurants are so cheap. Ramen are below 900 yen versus Ramen in the Philippines which costs around 1400~1500 yen per bowl that is not a set menu yet. I hope Philippines also get good affordable local food with high quality. Also bro, the Famichiki is the best LOL.

[@watanabejun]

when they bring to the philippines, they do training hard maybe and make it same way as japan but since many of staff here dont know original taste they might not realize if the taste change (dis-improve) little by little I guess .... maybe that's why maybe! even Fujisoba too! it might hard to maintain same taste as Japan without Japanese I guess? Kiwami Tendon was pretty good!!! must try before they get bad hahaha Ohhhh you just came back!! and nice places you visit I can tell!! and nice choice food!!! I miss japanese MCDO hahahaha and yeeessss that's right Japan is actually cheap and quality is way way high ..... well, no offence for the philippiness... at least they are trying so im happy hahaha Damnnn you know lol yeeeeesss the Famichiki is the best hahahahah

[@vijayharilela3958]

Isn't there supposed to be a dipping sauce for the tempura?

[@watanabejun]

I dont know in the philippines, but Tempura should be dipping to sauce, but Tendon (with rice) the sauce is already inside : )

[@WTFitsJoshu]

Watanabe-san, I'm working beside ATC mall. I hope I can bump with you at ATC someday. お疲れ様です！

[@watanabejun]

Ohhhhh sucha nice place you are working at!! love ATC and see you soon hehehe : )

[@darryl.a]

I wish I can go to japan too. and taste the real japanese food.

[@watanabejun]

what I am guessing, economically Japan will be more more cheaper in the near future! SAVE little by little na lang!! but yeah, this tendon was really Japan teste you can try here : )

[@JonasBroderico]

Ippudo is great in the Philippines, Yabu not so much. Maisen has better katsu but the branches are rare now. Hannosuke has the best tempura so far. But if you are looking for budget friendly prices, Tenya is still good.

[@JonasBroderico]

The yakitori is 50/50. They advertise that they are using binchotan but I see them use regular charcoals at times. The difference is also noticeable. When it is prepared properly, it is really good. If not, it is just okay.

[@JonasBroderico]

Also, nobody is drinking beer because it is overpriced. Their menu items would be the best if properly paired with beer.

[@watanabejun]

ohhhhhhh!! you are foodieee : ) thanks for the infooo! Super Thanks!! yeaaap I agree that Hannosuke has the best tempura!! lets wait and see if new better Tempura will arrive to the philippines!!

[@zergyzerg5581]

problem is there is always a long line there.. but yeah, the food is good

[@watanabejun]

oh yeahhh especially in BGC,,,,, ATC in weekdays is not bad!

[@amaliahightower]

Yup I don’t like miso soup either...sorry. I love Japanese rice...sticky and so good. Japanese restaurants have no English menus?

[@watanabejun]

hahahah Team NO MiSO SOUP hahaha! yeah rice is goood in Japan even many kinds and many way to cook its deep! rice culture I am proud of haha I guess most of japanese restaurant have no English menu maybe .. that's why Japan is unique hahahha

[@queserasera9543]

Hmmmm ...looks like you skipped shopping because you had good food oishiiii?!😊😊

[@watanabejun]

hahahaha Oishiii!! yeahhh it is showing how satisfied the Tendon was!!!hahhaa

[@allansevilla5640]

Yoshinoya here in the Philippines is soooooo unlike Japan. The taste is really different and even the presentation is a lot different. Even Mc Donald's in Japan, has seasonal drinks and burgers that you don't get here in the Philippines. The only thing they bring back is the curly fries. The other shop, Tenya, I haven't tried.if I wanna eat Japanese usually I go to Yabu. Atleast the taste and quality is close. Btw, I love miso soup. I just don't like the packet ones they use here that you just put hot water. And also when I eat, I try to keep my plate clean. Every bit of rice I try to finis. My mom used to tell us, better finis everything coz your lucky, a lot of people don't have anything to eat.....

[@watanabejun]

Yeahh Yoshinoya is somehow different taste in other countriesss I dont know why ingredient should be simple right? or secret recipi other country can't make, or just beef I d k but yeah sadly different!! and I totally agreeeee!!! miss MCDO seasonal burgers!! and Bacon Potato Pieeee!! Yabu is good I like it too!!! Thanks to Yabu I dont miss Tonkatsu much hahaha maybe my mom doesn't cook Miso soup that's why im not used to it hahaha yeeeeeeeessssssss I thought all filipino leave some of bit of rice lol gooood!! you are Japanese hahaha in Japan we were taught since kids, if you leave one rice, your eyes will be blind hahaha yeah we have to think of people who make rice and someone who can't eat full! : )

[@allansevilla5640]

@@watanabejun my mother was very strict with our eating habits. Some just serve whatever their kids want to eat, but in our family, whatever is in the table , we eat. So as a young child , I never had problems eating vegetables. Well let's just say it was a long struggle. If you don't finis whatever was in your plate, your not allowed to leave the table. That was the house rule. So I remember when I was still a picky eater, I'll sit on the table until 4pm because I still hadn't finished my vegetables! But now as an adult I thank my parents for teaching us to eat whatever and be open minded and adventurous with the food I eat

[@watanabejun]

@@allansevilla5640 ahhahaahahahah you grew up like Japanese lol love your family hahahha me too I guess many of japanese is also, whatever is in the table , we eat! my mom 's hand made Hamburg stake is like JUST VEGETABLES lol hahahha well, that's why I can even eat vegs without dressing now hahaha thanks to our parents! and now as adult I can enjoy taste of vegs so very very thanks to my parents too : ) and sit on the table until finishing is like my teacher in elementary school lol maybe if do it now they due teacher but my time, he didnt let anyone go out untill all finish hahaha love that education of your family : )
