[@kydeanderic]

+chris vazquez Hahaha, awesome.

[@1UkuleleDude]

I love the aroma of pine that comes from a good ink stick as you grind it into the paste. there is a real zen feeling when grinding the ink. I have really enjoyed doing Sumi-e drawings.

[@kydeanderic]

+Mark Swarthout Yea, that's a good observation. That smell and feeling is really nice. -Eric

[@abhiathit]

Feeling Nostalgic....going back to the summer of 2013.

[@ahmadfarhan830]

[@kydeanderic]

+heybud Great to hear! -Eric

[@marla07860]

[@MrHavoc1001]

Great video guys!! Wish i was there!

[@Offensive_Username]

Yay, 49 minutes episode * gets dinner ready *

[@trainman98]

I totally agree about going back to Kamakura. You just can't get it all on one visit. I went there in 1969. I was so enthusiastic about it, that some of my friends wanted to see it too. I ended up taking a group of them there. I also visited Kagoshima - I highly recommend that as a destination, active volcano was very interesting.

[@kydeanderic]

+Robert Piers Kagoshima is on our list, it's just a bit of a hike from Tokyo! -Eric

[@WrongRainbow]

you guys are straight up my favorite youtubers.

[@kydeanderic]

+SamanthaxFay Thanks!!!!

[@Graybrd2]

Your videos truly brighten up my day!! Thank you

[@kydeanderic]

+James Gray Great to hear! -Eric

[@kellimshaver]

"There wasn't really a fish flavor in the ice cream." She says with mild disappointment, and my brain goes "Wut?" :)

[@kydeanderic]

+Kelli Shaver Hahahaha - Eric

[@MaaikeInJapan]

You filmed the hawk from so closeby !!! And I love the seaweed sembei too ! :D

[@kydeanderic]

+MaaikeInJapan Haha, I used some zoom, but was still worried the hawk was going to jack my camera! -Eric

[@sitkahans]

the fury walls are icky, thanks for the video!

[@bostonsbabies801]

10:30 at night, new video. Sleep is for the weak.

[@kydeanderic]

+Bostons & Babies Hahaha

[@BuntePfoten]

I realy, realy like your videos of japan. Its my favourite country (next year its the third time we travel to Tokyo) and it makes me so happy to see you there. At the beginning (4m45s) , you can hear the Semi in the background so fantastic. I even drop a tear, because i love this sound so much! Go forward Kyde and Eric for this epic moments, everytime i watch your videos. (And maybe i can see you one time in the future in real!)

[@kydeanderic]

+Simone Frei so happy you are enjoying our Japan videos! Thanks so much! -Eric

[@perdomot]

So cool! I went to Enoshima for the first time last March and loved it. Lots of stairs and climbing though. I ate at the same dango shop and got the anko mochi too as well as the kinako dango. Loved it. The caves were a little disappointing for me. I took the boat back to shore too as well as the Enoden train. Awesome ride if a bit too crowded. Hase Kannon is nice but I still like the Daibutsu best.

[@kydeanderic]

+Perdomot We had like the same exact experience! Haha. -Eric

[@TejeshkumarBagul]

25:13 - I'm pretty sure those figurines were of Goddess Benzaiten (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzaiten), who orginated from the Hindu Goddess Saraswati (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saraswati). Saraswati is the Goddess of knowledge. May be the calligraphy and all are related. Thanks for taking me places :D Really love your videos :)

[@jeremybotsford2232]

Props on the GWAR t-shirt! I've seen them many times. They never disappoint!

[@kydeanderic]

+Jeremy Botsford For sure! Between 97 and like 2003 I must have seen GWAR/DBX/RAWG 30 times. I had a problem, hahaha and lived in VA. -Eric

[@lbonini1gaming]

I was about to go to sleep! Oh well.

[@nicksynet]

+lbonini1gaming me too but must watch new Kyde and Eric video.

[@johnwater22]

lol same here.

[@BluRibbonReviews]

^^^^

[@desfegtesao]

+lbonini1gaming same here lol

[@caitlinveal5709]

havent watched it yet and im already excited lol WOOHOO!! 💚

[@kydeanderic]

+Caitlin Veal Hahaha

[@KariHaruka]

The last time I went to Enoshima was last April when we had that snowy day... Yeah wasn't the best day to visit as it was freezing! But it was also good because it wasn't crowded so you could enjoy the sights on the island! haha and the cats weren't afraid to walk about either. I would love to experience Enoshima when its warmer though and that matcha dango looks so tasty!

[@kydeanderic]

+Kari Haruka Seeing it with snow would be neat! -Eric

[@superultrarollingbomberthu8829]

Three minutes in and I'm already grabbing food. Man, Kyde and Eric videos are not good for weight loss. *munch* *munch*

[@Yesica1993]

Oh, I really wanted to see more of the calligraphy! I used to do a bit (English) and I love watching it done. About 34:00 - AAAIIIEEE! The little fish have... eyes?! Is that what that is? And this was also in the ice cream? I'm going to cry!

[@kydeanderic]

+Yesica1993 Yea, I find Japanese calligraphy fascinating. Wish we could have shown more of it in the video but just getting the shots we made was a little sketchy. -Eric

[@ozdoits]

Kyde: 7:37, yes, "caramelization" is what happens when any carbohydrate (starch or sugar) rich food is heated until it changes color and/or shape (and also significantly changes flavor). Examples are: toasted bread, sugar that has melted enough to form the crackle on that rice cracker (or frosted flakes, or granola), and browned french fries. The same word is used even when the resulting food is moist. For example: carmelized onions, that pinch of sugar thrown in to a hot wok with all the stir-fry seasonings & ingredients to make the meal "teriyaki", and scoops of brown sugar & butter melted together into actual caramel candy. =)

[@kydeanderic]

+ozdoits Are you a scientist? -E

[@ozdoits]

+Kyde and Eric Hi 🙋🏻! Here I'd answer you that I'm just a foodie-type, who enjoyed the challenge to learn the actual definition & examples myself, and then to share them with Kyde.

[@azidewurst2]

Gosh, those crickets give me a tinnitus!

[@TubeDeviant]

+The Acid Sausage I was wondering.. "What the fuck is that..!?!?" haha..

[@kydeanderic]

+The Acid Sausage Yea, for some reason you don't notice the noise in person but on the video it's crazy. -Eric

[@alanva5127]

Great video! Just did the same trip during Silver week. :)

[@kydeanderic]

+Alan Va Nice! -Eric

[@collectivelight]

I was watching this new show the other day called "I'll Have What Phil's Having" that reminded me of you guys. It is the guy behind the show Everybody Loves Raymond and he went to different restaurants in Japan. Maybe you guys can check it out to see if you want to go to any of the places they went to.

[@kydeanderic]

+collectivelight Oh neat! Good recommendation! -Eric

[@JapaneseHideya]

Yokohama is my hometown! You make me feel like going back there!! haha

[@kydeanderic]

+Japanese Man We love Yokohama! -Eric

[@JapaneseHideya]

I'm glad to hear that!!

[@MrJustinTheory]

This makes me miss Japan.

[@greggiggle]

1:14 this attendant smiling is amazing.

[@arielgal]

Your vlogs are inspiring me to vlog too. But the thing is, how do you not get tired of explaining everything you're doing and how do u stay so smiley all the time? Haha maybe it's just not in my personality to do vlogs. And you have that ideal cheerful personality for vlogging which also goes hand in hand with your teaching career actually. Yup, thanks for being so cheerful in your videos. I think that really sets you apart from other vloggers, brightens viewers' moods and makes us feel like we're a part of something great.

[@kydeanderic]

+arielgal Haha, I dunno how we stay so perky in our videos. I certainly don't think of myself as a super cheery person, maybe it's just because I enjoy going out on adventures, and that's really the only times we make videos so it works out. If I was making videos just hanging out in our apartment you'd see my grumpy side, hahaha. Thanks for the kid words though, I loved that it makes you feel as if you are a part of something great! -Eric

[@Sailor-Rose]

I really should know better than to watch your videos At night. Now I'm craving Japanese food at midnight.

[@kydeanderic]

+RavenNight Gotta have an emergency stockpile! -Eric

[@strocat25]

+Kyde and Eric I keep a steady ratio of various flavored Hi-Chews and Calbee Jagabee potato sticks on hand. Thank god for amazon.. I saw those calbee potato sticks in a video of you all , they were pumpkin flavor.. Only flavors I can find on amazon are purple potato,salad,buttery soy sauce and lightly salted. I bought buttery soy sauce and lightly salted. both are great. My next en devour is to get some japanese gummies. I have had a couple of japanese gummy candies and they're soo good. cheers guys!

[@kydeanderic]

+strocat25 Get the purple potato! That's my jam! -E

[@HylianVamp]

We went to Enoshima in July, and I was kind of disappointed with it. It seemed to be more for a high schooler's date night than for me and a friend to enjoy. Very touristy. We got down on the rocks (where the Sea turtle was) and that was probably the best part. The caves were okay. I guess if you live there it'd be okay to go to, but we wasted a day on our vacation going there.

[@kydeanderic]

+DauntlessFencer I don't disagree. I wouldn't recommend it for a short visit. -Eric

[@tashaappel4215]

Yay!! I love when y'all video at places near me. I've been meaning to check out Enoshima for a while now. Did y'all go to the Onsen? The pictures I've seen look amazing.. I have too many tattoos to go/cover 😕. Those Hawks are no joke my balcony is completely screened/caged in keep them out. It's funny watching people get there food stolen tho. 😂

[@kydeanderic]

+Tasha Appel Haha, yea, those hawks were amazing. It would be fun to watch them for sure...from a safe viewing location of course. -Eric

[@philipthompson5796]

Kyde, you should really be a food critic and have a show where you travel around the world comparing cuisines and sampling obscure restaurants. Oh, wait - you already do that. ;-)

[@kydeanderic]

+Philip Thompson Haha, yea, I was gonna say! -Eric

[@jefferi78]

KD, never failed to impress with her food adventure.. ;)

[@kydeanderic]

+jefferi chang Yea, she is so brave! -Eric

[@MakoParadise]

Love you guys!

[@kydeanderic]

+Tachi_Bane Thanks!!

[@nellyowings7222]

thank you for your videos it gives me ideas on where to go when i visit. have you guys ever considered matsuyama in ehime prefecture?

[@kydeanderic]

+Nelly Caplinger We really want to do a long trip around Shikoku sometime but haven't found the time yet! -E

[@amies2370]

I always enjoy your videos. Kind of addicted. Regarding about the sembei. There are a lot of sembei shops in Sugamo Jizo Dori, aka Granma's Harajuku, which is your area. There are also a lot of traditional Japanese sweet shops in there too. After passing temple, you will find the Tokyo's only street train Toei Arakawa Line's Koshinzuka Station. These area are the Tokyo's old downtown district. I like the cozyness of these area. I think you will enjoy these area too.

[@kydeanderic]

+Amil Sasah Yea, I like that area too! But you forgot to mention Sugamon's butt! i.imgur.com/AA3d5V0.jpg

[@mcp0888]

I loved this video! ☺️ And I just really needed to tell you guys that here in the states, I live in Chicago, they have the black burger at Burger King for Halloween!

[@kydeanderic]

+MeganCP Yea, but no black cheese!! -Eric

[@mcp0888]

+Kyde and Eric True! I wish, though!

[@MyDiesel101]

You are a wonderful couple Kyde & Eric. I really enjoy your videos.

[@kydeanderic]

Thanks so much! -E

[@astroboy3507]

Seaweed senbi Oishiiii !!!!!!! And I'd like to try the taste of that sake ice cream !!!!! So much good food guys !!!!!😊

[@josephalli6089]

Great vid guys, just subbed!

[@kydeanderic]

+Joseph Alli yay! Thanks! -Eric

[@TuanNguyen-ur2cr]

Whats all that crickety chirping sound in the background?

[@kydeanderic]

+NihonH2ppy Cicadas!

[@duallove6909]

I really like you guys. Every time I watch your videos I admire your personalities even more.. Wish one day you'd travel to Russia. There aren't good videos around about it and you guys make very good raw simple traveling videos.

[@kydeanderic]

+ghaida h I went to Russia when I was 17! But I didn't have a video camera then, hahaha. I'd love to go back, but visas are a hassle to get in, even as a tourist. Well, they were last time I looked into it, which was years ago. -Eric

[@KennLau]

Craving for that biscuit wrapped in seaweed now.

[@shawnbrown5484]

I would not mind if y'all did some adventures in Canada or new York

[@kydeanderic]

+Shawn Brown That'd be awesome! -Eric

[@mop09drg]

今年の夏はとても暑かったですね～。 あなたたちはよく耐えましたね～ :)

[@ikaruseijin01]

47:13 "It's as big as advertised" _Oh my_ indeed. I had considered going to Enoshima when I was there but decided not to, now I think I made a mistake. It looked so cheesy in the tourist office information leaflets. Oh well. I should have gone with my gut.

[@nanba009]

+ikaruseijin01 Enoshima is considered to be one of the cheesiest tourist spot by tokyo dweller. But it deserves more respect.

[@ikaruseijin01]

+Azuki Island The tourist info I got was pretty lame at the time, if they had a few photos of the street scene and the caves I would have gone. They focused on some sort of amusement park/sea world sort of thing, which is not what I went to Japan to see so I chose to avoid it entirely and focus on the mainland. To be honest I should have spent more time in Kamakura. One day (10 hours) of wandering around was fun but I still missed a lot. I should have found a place and made it a 2 day excursion.

[@kydeanderic]

+ikaruseijin01 It sounds like you had plenty to do without Enoshima, haha. We had fun there, but I wouldn't rave on about it to anyone short on time. -Eric

[@frostriven7904]

So if you two are still learning/new to reading Kanji and understanding it, how do you guys know how to read/pronounce the item you're ordering on the menu? Have you memorized the specific characters that associate with the foods?

[@kydeanderic]

+Rowan Daae Yea, it's actually quite complex to explain, but you are along the right path that we have learned a lot of the vocabulary associated with menus and so forth. Full blown litteracy of Japanese takes upwards of 10 years of pretty intensive study, it's incredibly complex. -Eric

[@shelbyilver1386]

yaaaaaay!!!!!!

[@Yesica1993]

Ice cream with fish in it?! Kyde's a stronger woman than I am, that's for sure!

[@kydeanderic]

+Yesica1993 Stronger woman than me too. -Eric

[@freddylon5215]

Must be my lucky day!

[@fishycomics]

was that a train a bus a railway, did not see the rest of the car. was that Senior Frog, or Godzilla..

[@musicISlyf1]

The insects/bugs noise in the background were loud!

[@kydeanderic]

+musicISlyf1 Yea, for real! It'S weird, you don't even notice them in person. -Eric

[@DigitalNova5]

God I love your guy's videos... You should get paid for this stuff

[@kydeanderic]

+DigitalNova Hahah, thanks! -Eric

[@brunobruno1152]

47:25 Is Eric only holding a towel in the jacuzze? haha

[@cyanicbanana]

When you caramelize onions, you actually caramelize the sugars in the onion.

[@TheOncelerxX]

You should make a cooking video

[@skyprince42]

loll all of sudden there was an earthquake the lights went out, meanwhile eric was in the jacuzzi rocking out with some 50s light show,as bubbles massage kyde n eric n accidentally eric farted,n the end of the bubbles began n the lightshow stopped,,,lolll 😂😂 rock on in the love hotel,Yeaaaaa😉😂

[@danieldeath-j7u]

Dat cricket noise.

[@mucchiriyama]

The noise is due to cicada.

[@AnimeStarwind]

Just out of curiosity, do most temples offer that calligraphy class? I think thats such a neat idea! Thank again for another awesome video.

[@kydeanderic]

+AnimeStarwind I don't think most places do. We just happened to stumble across it randomly in a tourist magazine. -Eric

[@paulhongwu]

i wish you could show me video about Yakuza in Japan. I think they are bad ass with tattoos and chopped off fingers.lol!. Your current videos are very excellent too, thanx!

[@noqu9695]

"Why was there dubstep?" LOLLL

[@domo5757]

Did you find all 7 Dragon Balls and summons the Shenron?

[@kydeanderic]

+Han Solo Hahaha, working on it!

[@nanaimogirl2000]

so when I win lots of money and I come to japan. can I pay you guys to be my tour guides?

[@kydeanderic]

+colleen JAY Haha, I think I'd make a terrible tour guide. But if you come and want to have a dinner with us or something we might be able to work that out! -Eric

[@nanaimogirl2000]

Lol

[@TonTon.2142]

Oh my, 10:08! Probably not the first to point it out, but it's Shenron! You should have made a wish!

[@kydeanderic]

+ImmaTonTon Knew it was for wishes, but had no idea what it was called. Thanks! -Eric

[@TonTon.2142]

Wait, is that actually what it's called? I was totally just joining in on the Dragon Ball reference-making.

[@Designandrew]

What he meant is that Monster Island is actually a peninsula.

[@fumikasu]

How do you spell that rice/soup dish you guys ate? Was it souburo or soburo? I can't seem to google anything about it. Looks interesting!

[@mozartjpn137]

It is soboro or そぼろ.

[@kydeanderic]

+Nicholas Lim The soboro part is just the ground meat. Not sure what the entire dish was called. -Eric

[@ごま-k8o]

+Nicholas Lim That meal is called KAMAMESI.

[@andreisoare6978]

Hello ! Tell me guys, are you there in Japan now anymore ?

[@kydeanderic]

Yep, our recent video is the start of a new Japan series. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGSyc6Cinb98nNE

[@jaime0]

if you want to visit to Enoshima, go early morning, because there are very few people.

[@kydeanderic]

+jaime0 Tough to get there from Otsuka early in the morning! Especially when you like sleeping! -Eric

[@alexisrobles2012]

have u ever gone near fukushima

[@kydeanderic]

+Alexis Robles Yeap. -Eric

[@moriahofearth]

I love seaweed

[@fenbob]

is it pretty standard for the hotel rooms to smell of smoke, or is there also non smoking rooms? that would be massively off putting for me :(

[@kydeanderic]

Normal hotels don't have that problem, but we have been staying in love hotels which do. -Eric

[@urbancommando79]

11:28 is that the Tri-Force behind Kyde's head ?

[@kydeanderic]

+urbancommando79 Haha, yep! -Eric

[@urbancommando79]

sweet I thought so

[@TheMarg2012]

Oh, you went to the end-side of the Enoshima. That must make you tired.

[@kydeanderic]

+TheMarg2012 It was fun! -Eric

[@磯野クラゲ]

２：４０　× まっちゃだんご?　○ よもぎだんご

[@rocksolid6494]

Fish icecream with eyeballs?! This has given me nightmares.

[@kydeanderic]

Yea, it's not for me either. -E

[@snappysarzie3545]

looks like whitebait fish

[@Offensive_Username]

They stare right into your soul and scream while you swallow them.

[@limitcanc3l]

I must have that bathtub in my life.

[@kydeanderic]

[@superultrarollingbomberthu8829]

At 0:32 what does "fish don" and "popcorn" mean? COULD IT BE FORESHADOWING UPCOMING EVENTS!?!?!?!?!?

[@kydeanderic]

+SuperUltraRollingBomberThunderCorporation Haha, good eye but it was just random planning. Not everything pans out! -Eric

[@superultrarollingbomberthu8829]

+Kyde and Eric is "Cornology" a museum about corn?

[@leonfong4456]

You want to go back to us? Eric went, when's your turn, Kate?

[@jackychannel]

Shirasu flavor wouldnt be my first choice for ice cream.

[@kydeanderic]

+jackychannel Gotta take risks! -Eric

[@dmode79]

the sound of the bugs are louder than your voices -_-...

[@kydeanderic]

+dmode79 Yea, I know! annoying! -Eric

[@jaz3919]

[@kydeanderic]

+Karen Millen That's me for sure. -Eric

[@astroboy3507]

10:40 only in Japan !!!!!!!! 👍

[@kydeanderic]

+astroboy3507 Haha, yea maybe! -E

[@TubaBuddha]

Though I, and all the now 14 million members of the Soka Gakkai, were excommunicated by the then High Priest of TaiSeki-ji, twice. It was because of our members pilgrimage to the Head Temple of Nichire ShoShu from 1945 to 1991, that enabled it to never become a tourist Temple. At the height of the system, there were just over 2 million visitors to the Head Temple each year. We never had the talismans or trinkets for sale. You made a donation to worship before the Dai-Gohonzon in the Grand Temple, the ShoHondo that housed 5000 members at once. It was and still is a working Temple. Though the membership connected to the Temple is under 200K I think now. They took all those millions donated, and I guess have squandered it in the last 20 years. I don't think they are doing well. While the SGI has grown by 4 million.

[@DanielMcGregor]

I don't want to sound gross but I can't help but wonder what would happen if you spayed that love hotel room with luminol. Maybe it transforms into a Jackson Pollock themed room. xD

[@kydeanderic]

+Daniel McGregor Or just turned on a black light. Oh god. -Eric

[@matthewoliveros1381]

Resident evil attack. Where's the hawk

[@johnhigson8952]

Enoshima IS NOT Kamakura! It's Fujisawa. That's where I lived from 2002-2013. It's an awesome place. Better than Kawasaki, where I live now. Are you 2 back in Japan now?

[@kydeanderic]

Ah, didn't know Enoshima was on the other side of the line! Yep, back in Japanland atm. -E

[@johnhigson8952]

Love the videos btw. I've stopped watching TV recently to watch your back catalogue . Keep up the good work and I'll keep my eye open for you around the Kanto conurbation!

[@etherdog]

We really liked "Malcolm in the Middle" too.

[@banzaibobA7V]

Quote of the day: Crab is not a vegetable.

[@WF4L]

Was it fake crab?

[@kydeanderic]
