Japanese Vending Machine Restaurant

[@TabiEats]

Hey guys! We knew how much all of you enjoyed our last vending machine video so we decided to take a trip to Saitama to show you a Vending Machine Restaurant. It's one of a kind and the food was surprisingly tasty! I do wish they had a few more machines in there. For example, a coffee/tea machine as well as a machine selling dessert (ice cream) would have made the meal complete! What do you guys think?

[@SuperYaoiQueen]

I agree i think the restaurant should've had a few more machines

[@bbcent2000]

Go inside the vending machine and cook the authentic taste

[@letishaluster7800]

agreed. I enjoyed the video.

[@letishaluster7800]

I would have loved to see a ice cream machine or machine carrying mochi ice cream. yum

[@gnawaserge]

TabiEats you guys are gay right? im new here and im wondering why you are so friendly and gentle

[@sshum00]

I told my friend in America: I respect vending machines very much. We need more vending machines in America. She straight up said that I'm the first person she's met that has such respect for vending machines, haha.

[@bunnyfreakz]

American respect nothing

[@rajun50]

That is untrue.

[@floozyish]

Shelby S Americans will clown on you for saying lame shit, you should expect it.

[@scandisnowgirl3696]

bunnyfreakz what a terrible thing to say! And completely untrue

[@thatoneguy9934]

jaja this comment is to true

[@PatrickShaunEmanus]

You would think the restaurant would be more modern because of how innovative Japanese vending machines are, but It really just looks like a hospital or office cafeteria, which I find that simple and "retro" feel very cool!

[@TabiEats]

We thought it was cool that they designed it to keep that retro feel, especially since all the machines were sort of on the retro side. Thanks for watching!

[@JadenYukifan28]

@@TabiEats Were there any Silverware there or were there only Chopsticks?

This would be great on college campuses here in America. Quick ,Cheap and Hot everything a student needs.

[@lamelama22]

Automats are a slightly different idea; where cooks are continually making things and putting them up in little display cabinets (that may be heated or cooled), and then people could insert coins to buy them / unlock the door. I also love this idea & wish it would make a comeback (and it would be great on large college campuses).

[@lamelama22]

Advanced vending machines lasted longer on campuses & are still around at few unlike the rest of America. I remember seeing those fancy coffee vending machines at MIT in the mid 2000s and there was 1 left in one of my college's buildings in the late 2000's. But the rise/spread of coffee places like Starbucks/DD, and the tastes changing from "coffee" to "iced double mocha vanilla venti espresso shot frapuccino with a heart drawn on top in the foam pls"; they've almost died out... not to mention Keurigs. They might be making a comeback soon in a different form. With the rise of $15 min wage regulations; some of the fast food companies have put $ into developing machines that can literally replace the entire staff cooking burgers and the machines are ready to go. Some McDonalds, Taco Bells, and BKs have experimented with or already implemented kiosks to take orders. It wouldn't take much to make a fully automated burger joint at this point, available 24/7; with the food being the same at all hours.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Great video guys! Love how in depth you went to get the full story. I went here last year and it was great to see -- yeah, this place didn't change at all!! Keep up the great videos. Always makes me smile. -John

[@tosht2515]

Satoshi is so kind. Didn't really want to say anything too negative.😀👍

[@rolandviado]

I know, I like his response at 11:21 to Shinichi's question. it was literally a guttural sound

[@jovi_petra]

MCM i think that's just japanese behaviour in general

[@scotianbank]

It's actually part of Japanese culture not to express extremes when it comes to opinion, not only to not offend anybody, but also because personal opinion is often reserved for very close relations (which Satoshi doesn't have to either the owner of the restaurant, or the KZbin audience). Shinichi grew up in Hawaii, were the culture is not like that. Chris Broad, from Abroad in Japan KZbin channel gave a hilarious example of this in one of his videos where he says that he once asked one of his English class students (he was Japanese of course) if they had a pet. To which he answered "I don't know, mabye, I had a cat, but he is dead.". Even when asked such a simple question, he didn't give a straight yes or no. xD

[@JustaMomnFamily]

Exactly

[@De.D1]

They are so proper and kind.

[@WaariGaming]

In reality all the machines are not automated. There is a tiny man sitting inside every single one preparing the food.

[@dominicschmidt8275]

Just Waari I know!

[@JesusJoy07]

what

[@KitsuneAdorable]

Just Waari 😆

[@rc4j299]

so true!

[@brandontrieu7802]

Just Waari I don't believe any tiny people would be in a vending machine because they use a lot of electricity and I don't think tiny people will survive in a vending machine because of the temperature of the vending machine

[@Juanelo1946]

Guys, I first thought, "oh no, this video is too long... I can't watch it." But I found myself riveted to the screen! This is fascinating! I wish we in the USA had vending machines with foods like this! I was blown away! Thanks so much for the tour and for being very honest in your reviews!

[@kimschuler2262]

there were vending machine restaurants in the 30s I think. it was a really big fad at the time.

[@TabiEats]

So glad you enjoyed this video Juanelo. We had fun at learning about this place as well!

[@watever6119]

Juanelo1946 but then also require an armed security from getting it vandalized or tampered, USA lacks discipline in general ✌️

[@Western69420]

Wat Ever very true we are a very entitled country with no respect for anything “not everybody is like this but unfortunately enough are to ruin all of are names”

[@blairdavis]

I think if you had opened the toast right away, the moisture could escape and the bread would have maybe stayed crispier. leaving it for a few mins while you ate other things is probably what made is soggy.

[@TabiEats]

You are probably right. Next time we know better!

[@blairdavis]

TabiEats I still love your videos regardless! I just always want the food to be good for you guys hahaha

[@karma7706]

blairdavis I thought the same thing. Why eat the first thing you bought last?

[@misakiusui9977]

Maybe because they bought ramen and they have to eat it first or it will get soggy.. But yeah i gwt your point..

[@JadenYukifan28]

@@TabiEats I'm curious to know, if a person can't use Chopsticks when in a Vending Machine Restaurant, are there any forks or Spoons for the Ramen?

[@kko52200]

I love how you say "ok, that sounds gross" so nonchalantly. Just cracks me up! I love this video and would love to try this next time in Japan! Sounds fun!

I've seen an American KZbinr try this place and he didn't like any of it and thought it was all awful. I love your reactions to it and how you judged it based on how the food is from a vending machine. I would love to see you track down the owners and interview them about the place and how they make it happen! I am so curious about its operation! I also totally agree it needs the things you said it needed at the end! Would have loved to see you guys try the dessert and drinks! Thank you as always for your fantastic videos. Also, Satoshi, that was adorable at the end with the chopsticks, and honestly, me too!

Are those Nixie-tubes in the time display? If so they have to be quite old. (Not in a negative way, it's amazing they still work!)

[@paultrujillo42]

Someone else noticed!

[@YEBISU38]

The note on the machine says "This machine is old. Please put coins into it one by one, slowly."

[@ryanhughes7055]

faxezu Nixie tubes have been making somewhat of a comeback these days. It's becoming a fad, much like other antiquated technologies. People are even making nixie tube watches these days.
