Tokyo's Great Street Food Festival & Market | Tori no Ichi

[@jory1982]

It was so awesome to run into our favorite KZbinr yesterday! Haha Sorry if we interrupted your filming but we had to say hi:) Your videos have been extremely educational (and entertaining) to us and you do an amazing job of sharing the beauty of Japan with the world. Keep up the great content, John. Our family always looks forward to watching your adventures!

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Not at all! Thanks for saying hi and bringing the smiles! It's been very quiet for a long time so this was super special! See you around town neighbor!

[@hanscaspian412]

U are so lucky man i hope i meet john in person too😔

[@asamax64]

It was here that we saw for the last time Kanae's grandfather. The old gentle man who liked to sing old Japanese songs. 🙏

[@60frederick]

This video is the first one I am watching on the same day it was published. I still have many of your videos to watch - sorry for the delay. Japanese street food is so much missed by me. I am so happy that it is back - here the people are discussing about losing their freedom... Unbelieveable. I do hope that the regular life will be back soon here in CH. Thank you very much, John, for sharing your awesome documentary video with us.

[@RobbC.]

Perfect stream for Sunday lunchtime in the UK :)

[@franco3584]

So Awesome to see this Festival back and You out eating good stuff for Us.

[@lorrainethepain]

I remember the one from 2019 when Kanae was with you. She and Leo are with you in spirit. I can't wait for Leo to be old enough to tag along with his dad...

[@marthablanchard4262]

Afternoon John! That was great! Am hungry now! Japan! What a country! Cheers!

[@kennyd8718]

You made me sooo hungry watching this.

[@Lilwar195]

Really enjoying the dual camera view!

[@jackiegeronimo1728]

Aw I love these videos on street markets!

[@funtrain23]

Wow, staying busy, aren’t you! I thought you were going to take a week off to enjoy family time! Thanks for making these streams. I’ve seen all 3 of these festival videos and they are all amazing! I also love that one with a motorcycle riding in circles up a wall. I’ve never seen that before! Man, the US is so boring compare to Japan. We just seem so dormant when it comes to community activities. It’s just not in our culture, I guess, at least not where I live….

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Monday is a holiday and it’s raining 🌧 so glad I made it here. Spent the last few days not doing much, editing when I can.

[@Jko0922]

It’s great to see things moving towards normalcy! Oishii sou! You make me feel hungry! 😋💞

[@bobjoe7508]

Ah, really glad to see some festivities! I've always loved the walking street food streams, John.

[@carinemissous7921]

My little boy fell for the okonomiyaki with an egg on, and also the rapped pancake with the egg that you ate. Looks yummy! Thanks John, for this great stroll. Love to you, your lovely Kanae and adorable Leo.

[@madzskillzgamerzmweil]

Extremely crowded with people enjoy the 🎎🎎🎎 festival john

Thanks for the video John!

[@JordanWisdomTHEONE]

So amazing

[@jmgranat]

Love the dual camera! Always good videos. Take care John!

[@phengov943]

Wow the street food looks delicious, and Korean Tteok-bokki is delicious 🤤 good variety and very crowded 😊

[@momonakokeshi6325]

Great street food. I would need a bag with me.

[@jo-channeljapan2272]

wow crowded everywhere

[@doublesdetailer7709]

Wow - a cocophony of food😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋. It's runs forever. Heaven. Sooooo clean. Awesome people. Pawsome John. Thank you for sharing 😊.

[@lordtucor8309]

Oh the food, my mouth is watering

[@Lisa-rh3zr]

Hi John, Great to see outside Festivals open there Finally!! Glad I caught you live as it's 10am here on a Sunday. Also I received my First Post Card yesterday so Thank you!! Hope Kanae and Leo are Well....

[@shannondore]

Oh I miss food festivals. So glad Japan is getting back to normal. What fun! And so much good food.😋 Btw I really like the dual camera shots. Have fun John! Take care.😊

[@daisukeiga2046]

Greetings. I was there yesterday, expecting you were there too by chance. Too bad you didn't have the live from the shrine grounds this year. Wish people in the world could watch the flashily decorated rakes and the handclaps. We are still cautious about 6th wave but people were coming back to the streets. Hope tourists will be coming back soon, too.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

The 4G LTE signal was very bad. I had to film and upload. Better quality but not the same! Next year.

[@suechun8871]

Street food time.

[@eddieloque4069]

Awesome I would be going crazy buying everything 😋😛

[@ilcomicoingiappone]

Grande John!!!! Bravo Bro!

[@infernusifrit9348]

Thanks John for the vid. I don't know how you do it. Some single servings of that street food would fill me for a day! Others not so much. But, I would have to pace myself. Sometimes when I watch you do these festivals I'm like man. He's gotta exercise self control or when he comes across something really good you gotta have room for it. Incidentally, the steak on a stick was prob a whole steak before it shrank. Its heavily marbled. I can't imagine then cooking it too long.

[@camovecmin4968]

Hi John, good to see that Japan is starting to get back to normal life. Hopefully one day the border is open and I can come there again with my family which we always do every winter.

[@_Kingwong_]

john ! i'm not a people person but somehow i'm really happy to see that amount of people during a festival ! i guess we all been coop up too long and actually want to see more people . btw i hope to meet you in japan next year

[@GilAsakawa]

Thought I was catching this live but oh well. Still making me hungry!

[@onlyinjapanGO]

I tried - the signal was not good enough so I had to pre-record it. Maybe in 2022!! I'll go extra early when they first open!

[@KSPRAYDAD]

Went to a night market in Vancouver last month, took 15 minutes to get one Dorayaki...need to up their game! It is nice to see people out and about. Sadly, in my hometown the night market is3 nights a year and only 3 blocks long...only maybe 10 choices of food repeated a bunch of times. Can't wait to experience it in Japan some year...looking like 2024 now.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

15 min for 1 dorayaki! They must be popular for people to wait so long! Yes, when you come here, the choices will make it hard to choose! haha

[@KSPRAYDAD]

@@onlyinjapanGO I was more that they were trying to serve a night market using 3 single serving Dorayaki makers...like the ones you would use at home haha. Was good though! Just had my first Portuguese custard tart in Lisbon last week...truly need to go to the source for these foods so can't wait to get a real one in Japan :) (There was a Canadian Poutine truck on the seawall in Lisbon..thought about you in Japan...didn't try it haha)

[@Lilyut]

18:09 That was wholesome, she probably forgot her bag? (on the left)

[@J3ffish]

Kid's thinking to himself, "Kare wa yabajin desu." Lol, looks delicious.

[@IKEMENOsakaman]

Wow~, I'm so jealous that in Japan, you can have those open markets... Where I live, everything's closed because of the pandemic... :(

[@Og-Judy]

What's sad is all the foolishness of all the anti mask, anti vaccine nutters! THEY are the ONLY reason that people are STILL getting sick and dying from Covid! Instead of looking at it as a major public health threat, they all worry about their "rights" being trampled! What about everybody else rights to live from dying from a deadly disease? Ugh. Slowly, karma will get them back Maybe the world will return to normal by 2025... 🙄Sigh......

[@afeefrobb9052]

Japan has high vaccine rate AND mask use (99% i heard).. Plus it's outdoor event so the risk must be low.. I am jealous too

[@Commonsenseisnotcommon8]

@@Og-Judy I feel like we should just open everything back up, and if the unvaccinated get sick get sick, they get sick I know it sounds horrible but maybe all the stubborn people would die out. Unfortunately it will probably take a lot of innocent people with them. I miss living in Japan 😫 where people thought about the collective

[@DineNastyLakers]

@@Og-Judy that is a pretty ignorant statement. Some people can’t get vaccinated and also vaccinated people can still get covid…masks also are not proven to work…viruses are so small they go through cloth…but why argue with someone as ignorant as you

[@mikeymoose7253]

@@DineNastyLakers you call someone else ignorant when you don’t realise the science has explained over and over why masks reduce infection. Vaccines also reduce hospital admissions significantly as well as symptomatic infection even if you do get it. It’s been long enough, there’s no need to keep parroting conspiracy.

[@musgrave6886]

wow...hardly a tourist in sight...and i really missed seeing cute japanese kids...

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Not many - just residents I think. This festival doesn't get too many international tourists though. It's big in Japan, not many guide books suggest it - yet.

[@jarihult]

Very interesting food adventure , oishii desu by the 👀 , arigato 👍!!! Fun premiere with those various polls 😅👍😏!!!

[@Commonsenseisnotcommon8]

Thanks for the video ! I love that everything’s only five dollars or less basically. If this was happening in the states everything would be $10-$12.

[@DineNastyLakers]

The faces in the thumbnails always make me 😂

[@thestormspirit9085]

Pretty Amazing, John ✌👍😁

[@michaelsasano8622]

Aww.. man! I missed this. 😭. I love your street food walking tours. And to add this with a festival.... pure heaven! I'm so glad to see things getting back to a new normal. I can't wait to get back to Japan. Thank goodness for the replay. Thank you John!

[@michaelsasano8622]

@@largo6137 Lol... what's even more ridiculous is that YOU make all these negative comments about John and yet you STILL follow him and watch his livestreams. OMG... that in itself is hilarious! 🤣. Yup... keep em'coming. Ahh..Der! 😜

That kid's reaction watching John chowing down the pancake is priceless 😂

[@sleepyoldtiger372]

If my boyfriend was there, he’d buy at least one of everything, from every stall! He loves food!

I want to try okonomiyaki

[@TheKat1959]

I tried link for new channel. It failed. Stated it could have moved or was permanently closed. Could it be a glitch due to me being in in US? Keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing this with us all. Appreciated 🌎❤️😊

[@onlyinjapanGO]

kzbin.info it works - wonder why you had trouble.

[@BLACKSTA361]

I didnt get a notification for your last 3 videos :/

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Oh my! Try deleting the KZbin app and downloading it again. KZbin told me this often helps. Also logging OUT (full log out) and logging back in helps. I send notifications on Discord too. Instagram stories with link. Patreon supporters for $1 get notifications :) so I try my best to get the word out.,

[@jjp8365]

Hello. Until when is the festival?

Missed this last night (I have to be in bed by 10:30 - because of the workweek). I am so happy that everything is going back to near normal but still take precautions. Be safe always.

[@infernusifrit9348]

I have a fish farm here in the states. Been trying to locate a reliable source for live glass eel to branch off my farm. But, the whole process is over involved. State permits and sources are momentarily out of reach. My hopes are to solve the eel life cycle. Over fishing of eel will drive them to be threatened and unavailable for unagi. As i understand it a Japanese fish farmer "claims" to have successfully hatched out eel larvae. If true, Japan might continue to enjoy eating unagi. Otherwise it will be a forlorn memory.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

I wanted to make this episode in Kochi (Shimanto River) but it was cancelled :(

[@AnikiXoXo]

Did i jst saw paolo from tokyo with his wife & son at 10:54 who else agree with me

[@onlyinjapanGO]

I don't think they were here - hahaha!

[@restaurantman]

I don't think that was them.

Can you read those words/signs ?

@@largo6137 I am not looking at the signs often but the food - I actually have no idea what Chapchai is. Probably looked like yakisoba.

[@jillmondt5398]

John, since I do not have a way to communicate with you, other than here, I will inform you of a story that was recently released, and it is a “ need to know”, for those planning a trip to New York, or have family and friends within or near the Gloucester township, Camden county, New York. An employee at that Starbucks went to work, exposing other employees, as well as the patrons, to Hepatitis A. The dates of exposure are listed as November 4,5,6,11,12, and 13th. I know you plan to visit New York, not sure where exactly hence the heads up, over the Holidays, and this may be under control by then, but I thought you and some of your followers may find this important. Please follow up on this, please check out the story, and be safe.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

I actually do not have any plans to visit NYC. Just family this trip but I could spontaneously stay for a night to visit friends. I have no plans to treat it like any other trip. We have an unvaccinated baby so we want to limit risk and exposure which means it’s silly to go to the city at all. The flight, get off and get into a car driven by family. That’s it.

[@jillmondt5398]

@@onlyinjapanGO Good deal John. Glad to hear you have family to pick up you, Kanea, and baby Leo. Safe travels. Love from Minnesota. ☮️

[@Kyobonation]

Love seeing those food. But just like most of street food vendors, hygiene is an issue. He hold the wrapper and the adds on with the hand he used in receiving the money. We are told to sanitize our hands but why don't they?

[@onlyinjapanGO]

I dunno - but I'm not aware of many food poisoning deaths here. Japan is the only country in Asia where you can go ANYWHERE and get drinkable water from the tap. It might not be the best (or even good) hygiene practices, but I have yet to get sick. Let's see if they improve next year.
