Legend of Cabbage Man & Food Field Trip ★ ONLY in JAPAN

Japan is a country with some of the best food in the world, certainly not exclusive to Tokyo or Osaka! I hope you're hungry because I'm traveling 550 km north to Iwate Prefecture (岩手県) in the Japanese countryside to stuff my mouth with as much good food as I can!
What's in my stomach this time?
★ Ramen
★ Cabbage Shioyaki Udon
★ Horumon Nabe
★ Sashimi (Donko and Soi / Rock Fish)
★ Tofu and Soba Nabe
★ Cabbage Ice Cream
★ Japanese Sake (雪の鼓 Yuki no Tsutsumi / 鷲の尾Washinoo )
★ Jamon (Raw Ham)
All of the eating is surrounded by a lot of adventures!
A Japanese festival, kimono rental, 50-meter dash, fishing boat ride along the Japanese coast, and learning to make ramen noodles and the perfect bowl, in 3 minutes or less!
WHERE IS IWATE?
Google Map: goo.gl/maps/6rmmgGBLZX32
Iwate prefecture is Japan's second largest prefecture behind Hokkaido. It's a 2.5 hour shinkansen ride from Tokyo Station.
Subtitle this video for the world!:
kzbin.info_vide...
If you have time to help subtitle in your language, I've very very thankful for that! So are a lot of viewers!
About the activities:
Ramen lesson's at Kotsu Kotsu Ramen no.36 are irregular and need a reservation. For the Iwate Machi autumn festival, anyone can join! There is a special float annually public participants. Note that group floats are normally for members only.
BIG THANK YOU!
Also, a big thank you to the people of Iwate including the friendly groups who let me participate in their Autumn festival!
Shimachi-gumi 新町組 and Omachi-gumi 大町組 fed me a lot of good food and drink ... more than I ever needed :)

The look on that woman's face, who was sitting outside the Sake shop, as he walked in... lol.

[@bakaichigo]

I saw that too. Like "lol.. silly foreigner..." then she saw the camera, and started to smile wider. :'D I love the Japanese people, they're generally always so good natured and ready to laugh...

[@Aykun_]

Those cabbage dudes are hilarious.

That's why every Chinese arcade game screen says winners don't use drugs

[@bobwalsh4320]

Cabbage Man, Cabbage Man, does whatever a...cabbage can?

[@johngoodman5976]

Bob Walsh He is also the Cabbaggest dude in the universe ever! Nobody does cabbaggery-related stuff better than him, nobody!

[@l.g.corpuz8943]

When I saw cabbage, I thought of the cabbage man from Avatar: the last Airbender.

[@TrailerMusic23]

Lizzy Corpuz so did I 😂

[@max11max11kok]

Lizzy Corpuz probably took inspiration from the old man haha!

[@zainebsb]

Lizzy Corpuz My Cabbages....

[@AlfiansyahHendry]

Lizzy Corpuz I miss that amazing show...

[@reginaoji98]

THAT POOR GUY😂😂😂😂

[@jarles6667]

John your production is so dang good. the google maps explanation segment was so helpful. All your videos are so good. you should make a patreon or something

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

I have a Patreon but not sure how to use it :P no time to manage it because I've been jumping from project to project like crazy. More NHK location shoots and commercial work coming up. I'll look back at the Patreon page next week though. I make these on a very limited budget although I had help from the tour company to get around this time. That was invaluable! Patreon could help with ALL the shoots like that. -john

[@noseefood1943]

ONLY in JAPAN this dude is network/cable broadcast quality. too good for youtube.

[@14DeepRun14]

Your videos are so much fun to watch, I feel as if Im traveling with you, thanks for all these experiences! I love your 360 channel too, totally recommended!

[@arnoldbrofar6096]

I AGREE ! Just like watching those Begin Japanology vids !

[@Shrew-22O1]

All Hail the Cabbage-Man!! ❤️ Y isn't there a cabbage emoji!! 😭

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for asking. Everyone is doing fine :) -john

[@mediacoregroupph]

John, the cabbage segment is the best!

[@bendundidit]

John, you're killing me with the food you show off. So jealous right now. Thank you for the upload and have a happy Thanksgiving.

[@Ampera_]

Then cook your own. May not be 100% as seen in the show, but Northern America and most of Europe has the ingredients you would need.

[@bendundidit]

Communist Ralph Was honestly thinking about it. I'll take a look at some recipes and see what I come up with.

[@Ampera_]

Real Ramen isn't hard to do (Even though I tend to devour the instant ramen). Something I haven't been able to find readily is any sort of Udon, but I've been looking.

[@Idkgoogleitbro]

just picked up Udon from walmart....but maybe a local market might have them also

[@asianman4615]

idk Google That go to a place called ranch 99

[@cachabacha6084]

hahahahahaha your description of cabbage man kill me! the shirt a few sizes too small hahahahaha you are the best John

[@hiroueda2227]

ahhh i sure do miss that area! i remember going there when i was 12 with my dad...great food, climate, people and festivals...

[@jvarona3057]

Was expecting a great episode and surpassed my expectations! Cabbage man is so cool and funny! I find it awesome that people can take pride in their local products and even make stuff like Cabbage soda! Also, ramen cooking class looks fun, hope I can do it when I go to Japan. Is renting a kimono expensive? Sure looks like a nice experience to wear one and wander around town. The sea in Iwate is so beautiful! Happy Thanksgiving from Peru!
