I totally feel your pain and disappointment here. You were excited for it because it was Japanese week and then nothing but a jumper and kimono like outfit and a badly pronounced konnichiwa to greet you. I've seen how many Japanese do love seeing your culture go abroad and spread around the world and it makes a lot of sense that you'd be upset seeing it go horribly wrong like this. They put a lot more effort into making the set look pretty than they did researching the actual topic of the show, that's for sure.

[@Cheezzepuff]

I feel like the point of the show is for people to not prepare for what is coming and they just make it spontaneous. The problem comes when they don't know what traditional foods are for a special "Japanese week" event, and the producers picking a Chinese inspired food for that day makes it worse and more confusing for the contestants. So what I take away from it, is the producers want to add more cultural influence from other cultures outside the UK. They need to do their own research first and make sure they are not insulting a culture while trying to bring more culture to their show.

[@kinamiqi4025]

Viewership needed to go up ig

[@kairaine]

@@Cheezzepuff I think it was more about the type of dish. Most Japanese desserts that are more traditional use entirely different techniques than Western desserts because they are rice-based, and most wheat-based desserts (and buns) in fact came from overseas. So it makes complete sense to me that they would look at the range of wheat-based Japanese options and land on something that is not, in fact, Japanese. It's true that these buns are very common in Japan, ranging from in convenience stores anywhere to being a staple of rural life, but the more rural method is to raise the dough with baking soda, not yeast. That said, most people agree that it tastes better with yeast, and that is the more traditional (by which I mean Chinese) method. So I understand how they arrived at this. I just think somebody messed up, not renaming the week or thinking harder about what culture's food they actually wanted to try. Did they even have a consultant? Because it seems to me that a person with basic knowledge of Japanese cooking could have given them several options of rice-based Japanese dishes that aren't too crazy to try.

Yeah, i am thinking why did they choose steamed bun, the first thing i think about steamed bun was China. Steamed bun originated from China and was never a Japanese thing. Why don't they choose Anpan bread or Dorayaki or Manju or Mochi, they're popular especially Dorayaki. I mean this would be a good chance for them to introduced Japanese confectionary as they're not very well known but no, instead they created more Asian confusion. Red bean or Adzuki and Matcha was easily the most common filling in Japanese confectionary despite Matcha came from China, it had a long history in Japan and enter Japan in 1191 through Zen Buddhism and in 14th to 16th century became important part of Japanese Upper Echelons Culture. Also, Panda ?? Why not use Sakura or Tanuki ?? They could also use Peach as a homage to Momotaro Tales, beside domesticated Peach have also been cultivated in Japan as early as Jomon to Yayoi Period.

To be fair, some notable "English" kings were of French descent such as William the Conqueror whose original title was Duke of Normandy. A title he only inherited because his father didn't have any legitimate heirs. Yes, William the Conqueror was born out of wed lock and if I remember correctly his mother was a commoner as well. Though, I suppose some would point out that the Dukes of Normandy were descended from the Viking Rollo.

[@paddynoble]

I think you are right to feel like that. They should have consulted with a Japanese cook to help them look at a few dishes to guide them. And it would have given the contestants a few ingredients to look at. And they should have given them a base recipe to start them off. Because much of the Japanese week was assuming that Chinese food was the same which it isn't. This is another form of colonialism. In the 1800s British people couldn't pronounce Chinese names and so they gave people English names. Making them feel ashamed of our own language, names and heritage. This also plays into other aspects of Asian and indigenous cultures. Fusing and importing colonial assumptions into food, language, culture and our aspects of Asian identities. In this video Japanese identity was lost and miss represented. Giving Japanese no voice at all. Just using the name Japanese to make it sound exotic and Asian. Giving it some type of Eastern Authenticity which it surely isn't. Hijacking other forms of identity and importing their assumptions into other people's identity. This has been going on for years. What they should have done was say they are going to make an Asian inspired steam bun with a British flavor.

I showed my Chinese friends this video, none of them felt offended by the show think steam bun is Japanese dish. they were just enjoy the Uncle Roger funny criticism

[@quigonjinn3567]

Hi europe here. UK is known for a lot of thing's like: war, inventors, engineering. Strong Navy... but not 4 cocking or good taste. The only edible thinks in Britain are sweets and fish and "chips". So no surprise they mess up almost everything if u let them in a kitchen. Brits are like the exact opposite to Italians ^^.

9:20 at least in Brazil's northeast, when old people see a boy and a girl talking they ask if they're flirting or ask to the young they know like "are you going out with this boy/girl? he/she looks pretty" and if you answer "no, we're just friends", they'll probably say "oooh, but he/she's so pretty go out with him/her, don't miss the chance"

[@sharriffchaplin3733]

It a universal thing with grandparents lol my grandma tried that. lol uncle roger is too funny

[@dumaskhan]

"fuck yourself, this is the best..." hahaha this uncle roger is poetic.

[@GiacomoJimmi]

Now we start a new video series: People Reacting to People Reacting to People Reacting to Uncle Roger.

[@pathofthedragon]

You're reactions were so cute.

[@TortoRacoon]

Uncle Roger video reactions are becoming a genre on itself. Now you choose between music, gaming, challenges, lifestyle, pewdiepie summissions and Uncle Roger video reactions

[@LauraTeAhoWhite]

Ohhh... are they going to ask for Mochi? or Gyoza? Nope, they ask for steamed buns instead. HIYAAAAA

[@Pattoe]

Mochi is Japanese. Gyoza is as Japanese as Steamed Buns.

[@airgaborpara3824]

I loved this episode. It made my day, hillarious. Very funny this presenter young fella. Thanx Asagi for uploading. By the way Dear Asagi have you been in ASAGIRI?

[@leykhins]

It's a Universal thing Asagi, grandparents (especially grandmom) just see two young people they like and they want them in a relationship. From Nigeria lol.

[@skyrat3816]

I think the whole relationship and marriage thing is an older generation thing. My nan who's Irish keeps asking me if I've met anyone and has tried setting me up with my sister's mates.

[@nyanpasu2351]

Don't worry, Niece Asagi. As an oversea Chinese, I would tell you it ain't offend us at all. Cause I don't even know WTF they are making.

[@DomGFlover]

[@serz1885]

[@Sylkis89]

Regarding the thing that it can be offensive to confuse different Asian peoples for a wrong ethnicity. Background: I'm Polish, 32 years old now. When I was a little kid, maybe 5 years old or so, when our country barely became liberated from Soviet occupation also 5 years earlier. We didn't have much wordly stuff yet, weren't accustomed with a lot of things. But it was early days of capitalism so stuff was going wild, everything new from abroad incoming. And at that time I loved Godzilla movies we could find in local rental VHS stores and martial arts movies. I loved ninjas. I loved the vintage animes like General Daimos and Tsubasa and Yattaman and all other stuff that were already old AF in Japan but for us they were the new exciting thing. My parents enrolled me to an Aikido school. So now a memory of how I once f*cked up lol. We didn't have any Japanese restaurants at the time, but we had some Chinese and Vietnamese ones. So my dad figured it's the next best thing for me to have an Asian experience and took me to one. It was all so exciting and fascinating to me! And the waiter came. It was the first time I saw an Asian person in real life instead of a TV screen. And I blurted out: IS MISTER CHINESE OR JAPANESE? My dad went pale and immediately told me to shut up and was apologising to the guy. I didn't understand what's happening. The guy just politely accepted the apology and took the order though no problem. And then dad told me to never make questions like that. Explained how that during WWII Japan and China were enemies and horrible things happened during that time. That it's as if someone asked me if I'm Polish or German. I didn't fully understand the magnitude of it at the time, but I just accepted the fact that it was a rude thing and that I shouldn't do that. But when we were waiting for food I was just too excited and couldn't hold it in and started to count to ten out loud in Japanese (learnt during the aikido classes). I didn't realise at the time but my dad says that the staff noticed and they were looking at me and poking each other who didn't notice to look at me, saying something in Chinese between themselves when they heard me yelling out ITCHI, NEE! SAN! SHEE! (etc) lmao. We don't know what they were thinking, they didn't really say anything to us. I just hope they understood that I was a little kid that just didn't know better at the time and it was just a very faux pas innocent way of showing appreciation lol it was also the 1st time in my life I had some duck and it was so good that to this day it's one of my favourite meats. On a side note, that makes me wonder now, do the Japanese like eating duck?

[@LyricalLanguages]

"How many Countries does japan have!?" 🤣

[@AkiraUema]

3:54 OMG! I had Cocoichiban’s chikinkatsu kare yesterday! 🤣🤣

[@TheThailightZone]

I LOVE Japanese food, and I live in Asia so I know various Asian cuisines.

[@MasterMind-ew5cs]

I see where your coming from. Am British myself and I was like wtf. Although the burger bacon cheese one was cool.

[@Netreek]

Well, there is the panda bear and the red panda aka Tanuki. While the Panda bear is chinese, the Tanuki is Japanese, but was also translated as panda. I think if they should have mentioned that in the show (we make a panda steam bun, since in Japan are those cute Red Pandas.) OR something like that.

[@DanThomasUK]

When I watched this on TV originally I was cringing at the succession of non-Japanese dishes and “well it’s Chinese so that’s close enough”

[@0Quiwi0]

Maybe Karelian pies for the Scandic week? That would be at least somewhat close :P

[@akutbowie8522]
