Of all the Japanese videos I watch (and it's a LOT) I think the thing I find the most interesting is the 'no shoes' issue (i.e., no shoes in house, different shoes in bathroom, outside shoes, school shoes, etc) Here in the USA, almost without exception, restaurants usually have a sign: NO SHIRT/NO SHOES/NO SERVICE. So, for me personally, seeing somebody walk around a restaurant barefooted looks odd :)

[@won1853]

Well dirty socks /feet are definitely cleaner than outdoor shoes, so to me the Asian way makes much more sense.

[@daringcow]

In Poland you have to take shoes off when you come into the house and you get slippers to wear. We dont have higher/lower levels or bathroom slippers though. I live in UK now and it baffels me that ppl actually wear shoes indoors. I wear panda slippers at mine and others prefer to run around in socks.

[@danandbands5854]

In Canada the only places you can't wear shoes I've found is houses and Dance studios but you have to wear shoes in public places

[@suplib]

In Philippines you definitely have to wear shoes in public. But you have to remove them when you enter any house unless instructed otherwise.

[@Yogirliej4dee]

lucy girl parents must spend a lot on shoes..in Canada we wear shoes in public unless stated e.g: an indoor children's play area in the mall. We don't wear shoes in the house and ELEMENTARY school kids MUST bring a used pair of shoes to the class and it stays under their hanger. The reason is we have rainy weather in the the fall/winter and we can only carry so many things, so if my daughter wears her boots when she is in class she can choose to change shoes, but she needs to remember to wear boots outside..its alittle of back and forth changing of shoes. The used pair of shoes is thrown out each year.

[@I_am_Allan]

In Canada (as I'm sure you're aware) "Family Restaurant" has many meanings ... Swiss Chalet is a mid-range rotisserie chicken place. The Keg, is a steak place, mid-range prices. Milestones, Moxies, are 'high end' places with prices to match. There are dozens of fast food places which like to consider themselves 'family' - McDonalds, Arby's, Harvey's, Burger King, Dairy Queen, Taco Bell/KFC, etc. etc. Then there are the mall food courts which have dozens upon dozens of places. :D

[@LifeWhereImFrom]

Depends what part of Canada you're in, but I think the equivalent would be places like Perkins, ABC Country, White Spot, Denny's and that sort. I don't know the popular restaurants out in the East though, so those examples may not work for you. Swiss Chalet probably also fits in the "family restaurant" category that I consider Yumean to be in. Miletsones, Moxie's, Earls, those are all higher end casual dining (in my books).

[@LifeWhereImFrom]

I think Asian food is quite a general term. You can find Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, etc... restaurants. The regular ones over here would simply be referred to as restaurants or family restaurants. There are many that specialize in one type of food, such as ramen, udon, soba, tempura, gyoza, tonkatsu, and so on. The family restaurants may carry a good number of these menu items though.

[@frankm.2850]

Yay! Kids are back...thanks Greg! But now I'm hungry.

I love listening to Aiko’s voice. It sounds nice. Please consider helping her make, A Draw My Life, KZbin video. Shin’s mango dessert looked yummy. Thanks for the cool menu footage. Everything looked good on it.

[@onemercilessming1342]

Kids are pretty much the same the world over. When my children were young, they'd head to the soda machine in McDonald's and mix a bit of everything that was available into one drink. They'd always drink it; never wasted any. I tasted it. "Swamp water" (5:42) is pretty close to what it tasted like--but they and their friends LOVED it.

[@krxninja]

hello Aiko's dad just for curiosity in case of a wheelchair bound person want to visit the restaurant, are they allowed to be on their own wheelchair? or they are moved to a special wheelchair for the restaurant? I mean, people are not allowed to use shoes in the restaurant, so i think wheels are dirtier than shoes, or the staff simply make an exception?

[@LifeWhereImFrom]

I asked Josh (who was in our travelling with a disability video) and he said it depends on the restaurants. He usually avoids restaurants that have a genkan (that lowered entrance where you take off your shoes). He says some will have ramps they can put down.

I love how their food is served on different plates and bowls instead of one big plate you get to enjoy your food and you won't eat it all in one big bite it's really amazing 👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️

The black square thingy u said was "black sugar", was I think actually grass pudding.

Or also known as, grass jelly.

I know this because I’m a drive club at school we learn about different countries and we learn about Japan and so now I know math or not math but multiplication in Japanese and I know how to write my name in Japanese

I like aiko's brother because hes left handed

[@jeffreyjackson5229]

What I appreciate is that he is spending time with his children. Super important. If you spend time with them when they are young, it is more likely that they will spend time with you when you are old😉

The restaurant looks fun. They had a lot of choices to pick from. 👍🏼

[@Stephen-cr3sc]

I live in the U.S. The words "Please" and "Thank You" don't exist in children's vocabulary. I would get all sentimental and talk about "the good old days", But I still don't know when they were. Not in the 21st, 20th, 19th or 18th centuries. But I keep hearing about them, so they must have happened at some point, somewhere.

[@Stephen-cr3sc]

@Oma Cool ...... Do you know what people who know the difference between Upper and Lowercase text call the cap-lock key. . . The Moron key.

[@sentino68]

So. . . does everyone share the "bathroom" slippers. Kind of weird?

[@slaiyfershin]

yeah. gross huh.

[@arashimae8310]

ummm its normal here in asia........

[@slaiyfershin]

Arashi Mae Which part of asia? If you truly are from asia you would know that's not true to make a blanket statement. Even in Japan alone it's not a standard for a restaurant to have it.

[@OrangeBlueViolet7]

No slippers in the bathroom is pretty normal here.

[@slaiyfershin]

Hey guys. I duno about the other guys but I'm referring to bathroom slippers for PUBLIC bathrooms. That IS weird. If not, do share which country ur from that actually has a very common occurrence of slippers for public eateries or its BS. On further thought, it is weird because most eateries in Asia don't require you to remove footwear in the first place. But when you do I guess it's common for that rare eatery. Still I expected higher standards from Japan. Like individual disposable/easily cleaned bathroom slippers or something.

[@coarsecantalope]

I love Asian culture! I love the art and the food! I also love the language! I love using chopsticks 🥢 when i eat at Asian restaurants and at home!
