Geez paolo, i could have used these tipps on the 10th xD

[@StoneNRubber]

I was just there today on Hoppy Street

[@fatdandelions]

🤣🤣🤣 I love hearing Maiko laughing in tha background 🤭🤩❤️

[@alicebellamio5491]

the potato skin is edible？ 😄

[@onsendeyukkurishitai]

⚠️Caution⚠️ These places are popular for Japanes instagrammers; extremely clouded in the weekends. Especially the crepe shop at 3 pm will form a LONG que, so avoid that time. You will also miss some of the popular menues if you don't go there early, cause they run out fast. And like Paolo said, there are places specially designed for eating, so be careful not to eat and walk. There are also animal cafes at this area, so if you love shiba, cats, and owls, Asakusa is your spot😊

[@davidk4082]

Your English is very good but noticed a couple mistakes! It’s “crowded” and “queue”. Thanks for the tips. Cheers!

[@erick1fpb]

As somebody with money, this is a high tip to get! Thanks! 😊

[@erick1fpb]

​@@davidk4082wtf with the grammar shark.... Hope you know more than 2languages to correct others

[@onsendeyukkurishitai]

@@davidk4082 Oops! That is embarrassing😂 Thanks for correcting me❤️

[@onsendeyukkurishitai]

@@erick1fpb I appreciate your kindness. But hey, I now know how to spell crowded and queue! Yay

[@poorvishrivastava9658]

I really wish to see " a day in life" and "behind the counter" videos done by Paolo from all over the world. I just LOVE watching your videos. The aesthetics, the style, everything seems to amaze me. I usually watch your videos while I'm havin' food and it totally adds alot to the experience. Great work!! Lots of love 🎉

[@salsichalivre5401]

Can’t wait to see a Behind the Counter in those Indian street foods…

[@nazirulfahmi23]

hell nahhh @@salsichalivre5401

[@ianmurphy9955]

This whole channel is preparing me for a future trip to Japan for sure. That kare pan looked amazing, definitely going to find a recipe to try

[@MastaPFav]

Oh my god no way!!!! Paolo that's my friends and I at the very beginning of the Curry Pan stop at Komugi no Dorei! I went up to you after you were filming and were so nice! thank you for taking time to chat and recommending the curry bun! It was delicious.

[@dameanvil]

[@LhamoEx]

I love a TLDR! Thanks for the time stamps

[@tuningsnow]

Made by Tammi AI or something.

[@bestja2137]

At least proof read your AI crap, its Komugi no Dorei not Kugi Noor

[@bestja2137]

I love that you still didn't fix your comment even though you are fully aware that it's wrong.

[@dameanvil]

@@bestja2137 I am glad I made your day a little better.

[@HeyToccarra]

Paolo has to be so full at the end of these videos! He makes me so hungry watching these street food videos of his.

[@omegaworks2k]

Thank you for including your interactions with the salespeople! It helps so much for us language learners. ❤

[@rickeymoody8273]

Ah the classic OG Paolo faves around Tokyo neighborhoods. All for some 2023 updated food tours!

[@blake3120]

I could feel that crunch and my mouth actually started watering. Japanese food is amazing

[@matthewjay660]

Paolo, you started to wrap up your exposé, and I was like, "Damn. It's over too soon." 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵 15:13

[@Sobabe-el5ke]

This is not just a Japan channel ....This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 🥰🥰🥰

[@JohatsuSha]

ha ha ha!

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

When Paulo bites into food, I wait for the quality of the Chewbacca noises to see if it's really good or not.

[@G0sentrick]

Thanks!

[@MarcoCaifan87]

Oh man, those sweet potato snacks were so delicious! My wife and I loved them so much, it was one of our memorable foods!

[@BakaTaco]

Ahhh, the perfect video to watch just before I go and grab some lunch. Japanese food never fails to impress me with its quality. It always looks delicious and always looks... Well, GOOD! Great! You can feel the love put into the food through the video!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@flaviomulatojerkin]

Paolo is making us dream about Japan, because of him I already subscribed to Bokksu and I will go to Japan next year. The food there is amazing!!!!

[@MikePhoTravelVlogs]

💯💯💯💯 I can’t wait to visit 👍😊

[@labtechboy12]

Same here! When are you going to Japan next year? I’m going to be going as well next year too!

[@taylorgay1641]

I love hearing Maikos happy laugh in the background

[@cyberqueen7784]

Oh, that matcha tiramisu crepe looks so good! And that curry pan looks so crispy as well!

[@mamachicken1548]

That Curry Pan looks like a hedge hog. LOL!! On the serious side, it looks yummy. Wow, the crunch! Love this video, Paolo!!

[@littleunknownsk8611]

We happen to be in Asakusa right now and tried two of these places today: the ramen for breakfast and curry pan for lunch! We will see if there is any unagi left for dinner 😂 thank you for the recommendations!

[@filu_desu]

I am planning a long trip to Japan in the spring of next year.. Asakusa is definitely on the list of must see places. It's hard to ignore all the amazing videos about this place, from various channels. The street food looks amazing! The curry pan looks absolutely delicious, I can't wait to try one! Thank you for sharing!

[@flaviomulatojerkin]

Me too, Japan is such a dreamy place to be in!!!

[@csarn77]

Hearing the people at the amusement park nearby gave the video a sense of the area being busy rather than dead. I think it added to the video. 😊

[@StreetFoodSection]

Japanese street food is really interesting to watch and for sure these food looks really delicious ❤

[@perdomot]

I'm staying in asakusa next month when I visit Japan again and will definitely try some of these places out❤

[@pinocchio5391]

ขอขอบคุณ

[@Slither1590]

Literally gonna be in Japan next week. Perfect timing for this video!!

[@ViictoryUkraine]

Crispiness next level I felt the crunches across the ocean

[@samrutster]

I love all your videos, but I’ve really missed your street food reviews! Thanks for making a new one❤️

[@kathypeyser8507]

I love when you do these restaurant walks.

[@oguzmang]

another great video showing off Asakusa. there is so much to see, eat, do in Asakusa. exploring it after 9pm is also great because you'll be mostly alone and everything is so picturesque

[@ButacuPpucatuB]

Such a yummy adventure!!!! We could be food friends. I think the very crunchy curry pan is what I would try first. 🙌🏽

[@sumukhhegde6677]

@3:27 cute cat on the Post Box ❤

[@sistersistera]

The food in your video looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your videos. Please keep them coming. ❤

[@dazuotv]

Thank you for the wonderful video about the latest gourmet food in Asakusa 👍

[@AC-lf1wp]

Thank you for another awesome insightful video Paolo and team! We’ll be visiting Tokyo in March next year for 2 and half weeks. Can’t wait to try out some of the places from this video!

[@I_am_Lauren]

I love sweet potatoes and they're one of my favorite foods and I love sweets in general so I would try out these places.

[@derricklung]

Oh yeeeaaah. That baked potato was waaaaay better than I expected. I was skeptical but so many people were getting in line, I had to know what I was missing out on.

[@almendra.ormeno.s]

i just love your food videos so much specially when you look so excited to show us your favs thanks 🩵

[@jeanettefuller6354]

Good to see this type of video again, l even enjoyed the dad jokes😂😂😂. The food looks delicious 🦘🐨🦘🐨😷

[@daisukiKonbini]

Best video yet! Love hearing you speak Japanese without the English overdub and seeing you do the types of videos that made me subscribe! ❤

[@shanewinans8058]

I love your videos, I’ve been a subscriber for a long time! Your hot sauce is incredible and I can’t wait to visit Japan because of you! Thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into your videos!

[@ChristopherHarris6005]

Awesome video as always Paolo. This was one delicious food video.

[@hyamashu]

This is perfect!!! I’m staying in Asakusa for a few days when I go to Japan in the Spring. Good to know that there is good food waiting for me there too 😂❤

[@charlenesnodgrass3713]

Hello new friend!! I have watched several of your videos, and I am loving them! I live in Texas, USA, and I love learning new things from abroad. I am already familiar with your wife and son through your previous videos and I think you have a wonderful family. Thank you for showing me all the different things in your part of the world. ❤️😊

[@SansaStarkw]

The Eel Rice ball looks the most delicious and the Curry looks delicious I have heard of Curry from an Anime but have never seen what it actually looks like. and the Street food looks more Hygenic than Indian Street vendors. but i need more day-in-the-life videos from you.

[@EderRios11]

You have to come to the States 🇺🇸 a mix of cultures you will be surprise! love your videos !

[@happyshin15]

Hello! I'm Shin!! I'm the person that came up to you in Kyoto Station!!! It was so awesome to meet you and your family!!!

[@Chiater]

Heading to Tokyo in two weeks so nice to see a new video!

[@sophiahockman5844]

My husband and I love watching your channel. I think we are going to end up visiting Japan after seeing all these amazing videos. Also, you convinced us to buy a subscription of Bokksu for us and a friend ;)

[@Jessibeanz]

YES PAOLO! Thank you! more like this pleaaaaaaaaaaaase!

[@stevenw9813]

Undoubtedly, Japan is a top destination for a food tour !! loved everything about it !!

[@OliverHoerold]

Thanks again for a great video. Excellent production value as always, I really enjoy your videos. Great stuff! And I am hungry now. Can't wait to go to Tokyo!

[@iheggis86]

Great to hear Paolo speaking Japanese

[@wilfull1822]

Thanks to you I have had Bokksu for a few years now 🎉🥰👍🏻🇦🇺

[@kenbozu1]

The unagi onigiri and the katsu pan would be my first stops to try. After a night of drinking, that ramen shop would really hit the spot.

[@machinismus]

I have decided, I AM going to Japan in the next couple years. I’ve been thinking about it my whole life. Very excited to ride all the world-class public transit, and I do want to stay in Asakusa! I want to go for at least a week and a half so I can take a couple days after landing to adjust to jet lag and just vibe and explore and marvel at simple things like conbinis and street food wheee.

[@chasedanger4553]

Staying in Asakusa for a few days starting tonight and thanks to you I know a few spots to hit. Your videos are always the best. You kept me so entertained and kept my spirits up through lockdown early in the Pandemic

[@Ishyona]

Eel on rice is my ultimate favourite dish. It's so hard to find in my country. Some shushi shops will do eel sushi, but that's it. When I lived on my parents farm, my brother and I would catch and smoke eel and eat it with rice. It's more common to have eel cooked in a hangi (underground oven) in NZ, with sweet potatoes.

[@lucasbuff8451]

Its always a great day with a new Paolo video

[@samlagrimas5039]

Welcome back Pao! Love your favorite food videos!

[@LhamoEx]

You know it’s good when Paulo makes this sound lol 4:22

[@annphotographymum]

Definitely will visit our Japanese friends in Tokyo and plan to stay in Asakusa after our last trips to Kyoto and Hokkaido many years ago!! Thanks Paolo😊

[@rolix001]

Really Awesome video! Ill be in Tokyo in less than 2 weeks, I cant wait to try these amazing gems! 💎🔥

[@rss_ruby]

I love these videos, thank you for taking the time to post the locations in the description

[@decado3944]

They all seem really really interesting street foods! They look really delicious and appealing

[@yogiwp_]

Whoa definitely gonna try the eel, the curry bread, and the sweet potat!

[@davidbishop4015]

Thanks for sharing your favorite spots with us Paolo. You'll never have to eat at the same place twice. Stay safe.

[@RandyHayes-u8n]

nice video promoting local street food . more videos like in this in near future . looks tasty and delicious hope to visit there someday and try your country street food .

[@mikiscruf]

Paolo you missed showing one of the best parts of Asakusa! Those shops selling realistic plastic food displays for restaurants!

[@jayringo77]

That curry pan crunch!! Another great vid - thanks for sharing all your secret spots with us.

[@frankchong5585]

This come really handy. Heading over to Asakusa in Jan and I was actually about to search for food tips. You should have do more such videos. 👍👍👍

[@mandysberi]

I reeeeally missed this style of videos! Thank you, Paolo!

[@Navi_101]

Making me so hungry! Can't wait to travel back to Japan and hit all these recommended sweet spots. Thanks Paolo!

[@kuyajaypi]

Thanks for showing us these yummy foods Paolo!

[@afzanshakira344]

Omg finally another hidden gems video. Been missing this content 😢

[@ChamAramis]

I love your home adventures with Maiko and Wolfy, but I missed your street videos so much. Might actually be the best time to revisit some of these places now tourism is in full force. For example, I recently watched your Kyoto video but several of the places you mentioned have sadly shut down.

[@arbaz79]

Why did the places shut down?

[@ChamAramis]

@@arbaz79 If I had to guess, I'd say because of the pandemic lockdowns.

[@Pitman33]

Great timing on this one. I'm currently staying in Asakusa, leaving Tuesday. I have tried the Ramen place, it was really good. I went to the Onigiri place you mentioned today, at 4PM Saturday. You can put in your order, but it's a 1 hour and 45 minute wait to pick it up! Insanely busy. I can't do it today. But at least they haven't sold out yet.

[@happycook6737]

How fun!

[@Kakibot]

Thank you Paolo! You always deliver!!

[@paolorota3694]

One of the best of your streetfood videos!

[@arceus54321]

i saw imo pippi and unana on timeout tokyo but everything else is new. all the food looked amazing. also, it's cool to see you speaking japanese in these videos. you should do it more

[@itseric100]

Love this! I wish you filmed this earlier because I stayed in Asakusa during my visit a few months ago….. Guess it’s time to go back!

[@astroboy3507]

Nice one my second home Paolo!!!! 👊🏻

[@CullenTravels]

Your videos always brighten my day! Thanks for spreading positivity and adventure.

[@salamanafurahi1978]

I always watch these videos for all the food and travel tips, but now I watch them just as much for Paolo's dad jokes 🤣

[@TsukiBabii]

Thanks for the video! My friend and I will be going to Japan at the beginning of November and will be staying around this area. This is super helpful 😊

[@ScottMcMaster-er4xj]

Having lived in Kyoto, I can firmly recommend Kyoto as the better historical destination to visit. Kyoto has a more authentic historical feel. Nara and Himeji are good stops as well.

[@gwarlow]

2:14 Looks like crème brulée. Yummy! 😊
