Tokyo Street Food | TOP 10 at Tsukiji Fish Market

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

In my search to bring Japanese food and culture to the world, I may have offended some people by including whale in my video. I apologize to those whom I have offended. Out of respect, I will not feature whale in my future videos. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the video.

[@screams4tina]

Paolo fromTOKYO Whale is important & eaten in other cultures as well. Native Americans in Alaska eat whale & seal. Don't apologise. I just recently subscribed, been bing watching your videos - dig the editing, pace, map drawing & your honest energy, unlike some KZbinrs who overreact by tilting their heads when taking a bite of food. Hope you get more subscribers & sucess. Also, your girlfriend is adorable.

[@edward7764]

don't bow down, geeze. if they're offended, they can take a walk. i want to see more whale!

[@orangemiss]

Native Americans don't do it illegally and don't over-hunt endangered species.

[@DorkusesInJapan]

No need to apologies - not sure 'offended' is the right word. Its just that its illegal, and the vast majority of people in the world (including Japan) would prefer it didn't happen. Its not even a viable industry as it costs the Japanese governments millions of dollars every year.

[@thallocub]

I don't think it's a matter of respect. I don't feel offended, I know that a lot of people eat whale, I knew it before your video. And I know that Japan Government is ignoring the international laws about it, maybe for lazyness, maybe for protecting a weird and minoritarian "food nationalism". The problem is that if you buy whale, eat whale and make a video about it you are actively promoting the thing. And you still are, now! If your video remains online, you are taking a position. Your apologizing comment cannot compare with the video itself, they have different weighs, I don't know if I'm clear. You should put it offline, edit it, in order not to promote the (illegal) consumption of whale meat. If you really want to change your position about the thing...

[@vicallen5846]

I went to the market today and had the sea urchin bun and it was amazing! Plus they have a picture of you on the stall! 😁

[@captnjaygreybeard6394]

Yes, me too, I saw it on the steam box last week : )

[@QTcomicsPOP]

Can't wait to check it out myself

[@maite2582]

im not a huge commenter but what kinda blows me away from your videos is how genuinely happy you seem to be eating that food--hahah you're just so expressive and seem super genuine which is rare to see! also all the food looked (w the exception of whale, but you already addressed that in your pinned comment i see) so good!!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Maite. I appreciate you keeping it positive.

[@mountainguy4710]

I watch a lot of these KZbin in Japan food videos and nice to see foods I've never seen before. Was surprised to see the whale but it's part of their culture and at the end of the day, that is what you were doing showcasing Japanese food and culture.

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Glad you could enjoy the video even though you don't agree with eating whale. Thanks for the positive comment.

[@Kapiletti]

Aidan Lam but he posted a comment with his apologies for showcasing whale food, and wrote that he wont do it anymore. I believe he is not against it since whe can see he likes to eat it, but in the end it is his opinion, he said he will respect the viewers point of view ant will not show it anymore so its ok. Stop being a dick.

[@aetherspace1889]

I've got to say it, your videos make me smile everytime. It's just a joy to see you guys being so enthusiastic and seemingly genuine in front of the camera. It's a wholesome experience to watch these videos, it really is! I love it!

[@dxb_coder]

Thank you Paolo. Awesome content as my wife and I planning to visit Japan next year, your videos will definitely make a great help to us!

[@shde.9799]

12:55 showing food but there's a sign of no food in the back, now that's gangsta lyf XD.

[@ig_antique]

It is relaxing to watch you both enjoying what you're doing. Genuine

[@feihalim3000]

First time we tried Otoro don (no. 6), it was that good, the second time we visited Japan, we purposely flew the earliest flight to arrive in Tokyo and hired a car so that we can visit Tsukiji first thing in the morning, just to have that warm toro don again.

[@carolepaqueo3264]

LOVE YOUR VLOGS!! Going to Tokyo this August. I actually made an excel file for all your recos =p thanks for all the helpful information!!!!

[@kenchen375]

Hi Paolo... been watching all your Japan videos... it had been interesting & informative. What is the best time to visit Tsukiji Market? Will be in Tokyo next week and will definitely try out the ten foods that you had recommended in your video.

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

I would say around 8-9am if you are going to the jogai side.

[@bunchums3267]

Glad a pinoy found success in youtube japan. Go Pinoy!

[@dsbeater4852]

Im going to tokyo on may ,and will be staying close to tsukiji market. Im so excited, cant wait to taste all the food out there 😜

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Awesome! If you need a map for all the places, check out my site www.tokyozebra.com/maps

[@giane911]

Yay a new youtube for me to binge watch on! 😍😍

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Giane! Hope you enjoy the rest of the videos.

[@beanray1383]

Lmao you sounds like a Moose when you love the food you eat 😂😂😂😂😂 and I keep watching your exciting videos. Keep up the good video Moose man. 😁😁😁😁

[@GettBaladad]

so hungry! Great guide as always, that menchi katsu looks heavenly! Congratulations on the 23k subscribers!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Tanks Gett! it was so juicy.

[@TwoBroskis]

Tsukiji Fish Market is amazing, man. Went there 2 years back, you make me wanna go back for the awesome food there. We just visited a crack den in Portugal for our vlog, haha 😜

[@girlyouwant]

Two Broskis we went twice at the wrong times they were closing up each time TT_TT

[@gviest]

That uni bun looks soo good!

[@johnseigfredbaldomaro9004]

I’m gonna need your help for our trip to Japan brother. I guess I’ll be binge watching your videos 👍🏽

[@nyrider8396]

Planning to spend 50-100USD per person there if you a seafood lover. High priced items are giant prawn, abalone, lobster, king crab, fatty Toro, sea urchin and lastly is the wagyu skewer.

[@cookeecutkk]

These videos are part of my daily psychotherapy ☺️ So much positivity and feel good vibes 🙏

[@nadhiraanjani4551]

always happy to see you eat fried foods, and also maiko's expressions!

[@tinafujiwara9471]

Super cool video... as always!! 🍣🤤😊

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Tina!

[@mrcyflft]

Seeing the overwhelming enjoyment in both of your faces during the tastings is brilliant...✨🤙🏼✨

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks mrcyflft!

[@alexyow6192]

Just back from Tsukiji market, tried the oyster of Saito Suisan, absooooolutely incredible, the most crispy, delicious oyster ever I have tasted!!! Saito Suisan Slays!

[@KibaJovanni]

I took all ur recommendations when i was there my wife loved the uni pan lol by the way the uni pan had a photo of u there 🤦‍♂️ lol

[@margerymorstein1073]

Please put together a book of all your handrawn, illustrated maps.

[@darrell214]

Thanks for this video. We only had a couple hours a couple weeks ago because of Typhoon Hagibis so didn't get to try everything. I thought the Uni bun was ok, but I'm not a huge Uni fan to begin with. My favorite didn't make your list, but the Wagyu beef was really good. A little pricey, but it just melts in your mouth.

[@martinikitty323]

love your new top 10 series - it's so helpful for tourists going to tokyo!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Glad you like my top 10 lists martinikitty323

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Been going to Tokyo annually since 2013 ....heading again end of the month... gonna try that deep fried matsusaka beef this time round... hope is still there

[@unbothered9761]

Love love your videos

[@fredrikkvarme6585]

I really like your videos, good work! I am going to Tokyo this October, and I am thinking about visiting the fishmarket and the early morning auctions they have there. Would you consider making a video/guide from the fishmarket some time?

[@wangjiani9836]

You are a good guide,thank you

[@heinorotaugen]

good information for japan trip

[@brodband7168]

The inari sushi vendor is so beautiful.

[@k.jamescarters9557]

I am watching a lot of your vids as your maps and enthusiasm really help. With this place relocating slightly are you going to do a newer version of this one?

[@jlonglive]

もつ煮最高にうまそう。築地に行ったら絶対食べたい。

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks for watching jlonglive!

[@braveyiwu08]

Ei Paolo! Just recently discover your channel and now having a marathon on watching your videos! The quality and details are way beyond!!. Planning to visit Tokyo in July and here I am taking down notes from your vids. Just wondering since you live in Japan for so long and your gf seems to be a local - how come when you are trying these food - feels like you "just tried it?" - like a first timer; Are these food your all time fav and you just wanted to show to your viewers how much you like it and how good it is? Feels like you just had these food. Wish we could experience and will be able to try (not all because of our limited time there) - most of what your recommend. ^^

[@rain74925]

wow, they ain't cheap but definitely look delicious! Love to try the bun with uni(?) in it.

[@damohr69]

you're a very lovely interesting guy! i really enjoy your happy videos! keep it up!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks DAT BOI!

[@coolnanel]

Just what I was looking for... Thanks!!!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

awesome!

[@appetitechaser1289]

Thank you for the information Pablo!

[@77bovi]

man awesome vid, been there 3 times and only had the tamago. might have been too full from eating sushi! wished I knew about the gyudon and uni bun. looks like the gyudon is near the popular ramen stall. I stand by you for featuring the whale meat even though I dont support the hunt being masked as "research". Whale meat is eaten in other countries, friend had it in Europe and said it was nicer than beef. Been past this stall at Tsukiji outer market and didn't see skewers being prepared so didn't know what I could order. I'm likely to visit in oct but that's supposedly when Tsukiji will be moving, hope I won't be caught in limbo. Please do more of these food vlogs.

[@Pacoklein]

Your videos are great dude, Im going to Tokyo very soon, Im definitely gonna be eating a lot of food haha.

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

get ready...there's a lot food. have an awesome trip!

[@Pacoklein]

Thanks man : ) I bookmarked your website for when I get down there haha.

[@smach24me]

Great video! I'm in Tokyo right now and didn't know what to try. I know now!

[@nathanlovesbooks]

Your spontaneous energy is contagious...keep it up!! :-) I stumbled upon your vlogs and I enjoy watching them! :-) About eating whale, I'm not against it.. Why???? Whale meat consumption continues in other countries as well like South Korea, Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands ( Denmark ) and Alaska ( USA ) . It's part of their culture and everybody should respect that! Just sayin'. :-)

[@recebaby88]

watching you eat is hilarious to me!! I can't wait to go to Japan and act like you!!

[@bennywiwoho7798]

I'll go for tamagoyaki, kujira whale & shumai

[@alvisyu4618]

Nice video! What time did you get to the market for the street food?

[@aquilaot]

Thanks for the maps and best times to visit.

[@tomman27]

Hey Paolo. No Toritoh restaurant? Everytime I'm in Tokyo I just have to go there at least once to eat Oyako Don. They also have store at Toyosu Market. Maybe you wanna do Toyosu Market report soon.

[@mahanaimshines4540]

Mark Wiens surely enjoyed that intestine stew on his visit to Tsukiji Market

[@alisonkoizumi8669]

Hey Paolo, So the tourist portion of the fish market will remain open, right? I am coming to Japan in October and I was planning on visiting some of these places you recommended. I hope I still can! That otoro looks AMAZING

[@potters_bbq]

Brilliant vlog, i will be eating everything.

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

wow, that's a tall task. Let me know which one is your favorite.

[@lesterestrella3801]

Freakin awesome video 😊😊😊

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Lester!

[@jamesmanalo295]

Hey Paolo. Whats the best time to visit Tsukiji to try everything you hav featured ? Whats the easiest route to reach the food market? Thanks

[@mikebituin2371]

Nice Video 👍🏻

[@dimm0k]

MORE WHALE!!

[@wee-senchoo7025]

Dear Paolo I love your ummm videos. Can you do one on ameyoko?

[@bleac000]

Love the channel, wondering if you are going to do top 10 eats for when the fish markets move later this year. Coming May 2019 and was wondering if the food stalls will move with the markets and what would be good to eat their?

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Yes, very likely.

[@mayankyp]

love from India . . . . .

[@Lordpoopsir]

OMG. Love your hot dog sweater

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Lordpoopsir!

[@XIKAIIX]

Hello sir! Huge fan of your videos! I just recently subscribed and hope to see more videos for you. We actually plan on visiting Japan probably this year around summer time. Can you let me know what camera do you use for these videos? I would like to buy the same ones your using to document our trip!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Hey Sid! I have a Canon 80d. All my gear is listed here - kit.com/paolofromtokyo/paolo-s-basic-go-to-film-kit

[@XIKAIIX]

Thanks Paolo! My girlfriend and I just discovered your channel and we got instantly hooked! We plan on visiting Japan either mid-2018 or next year. We hope we can meet you in person, just to say hi or take pictures maybe!

[@paolab.7826]

when you took a bite of the tuna, i thought the wasabi just kicked in. lol

[@ereed311]

Paolo! I need that hot dog sweater in my life!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

hahahahahhah. glad you liked it.

[@bugashuga1914]

Paolo fromTOKYO where did you get that sweater? I know someone that needs it in their life!!

[@Adam-he5bs]

Who else has been watching this when the Tsukiji Fish Market has been closed and moved to a new place? would love to see your top 10 recommendation in the new Tsukiji Market too :)

[@tofururuu]

awesome!

[@DarineChoo98]

Is it possible to check, what's the ideal time to arrive there for the food? everything looks so good!

[@mariloudeguzman6572]

Hello Paolo, been following you for quite sometime now. My sister and I will be travelling to Japan for a long layover, arriving 5pm and leaving 10am the following day. Any suggestions? Is Tsukiji Market open after 5? Please, some advise, we really in need of help planning.

[@rennsharp9174]

When I go to Japan will you be my guide and take my friend and I to delicious food places and fun places in Japan???

[@もい-u4w]

いいね美味しそう！😋🍴✨good😆👍🏻

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

You'll have to try for yourself.

[@77noctiluca]

I want katsudon! I am currently in Japan and plan to go this week!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Let me know how it goes.

[@JJc608]

Cool video u got there , i like the opening music , what is the name of the song or music??

[@watzax26]

Did I mention it's so good

[@ronbenoza6665]

Hey Paolo, are a lot of shops or restaurants open on Tuesday morning at 5 to 6am?

[@SlipknotFan713]

Hahahahah paused the video right when you ate the whale to go check the comments. Lol I'm a meat eater and I was actually pretty shocked. Still gonna watch tho lmao.

[@Applegal06]

I tried the menchi katsu. The same lady was kind of rude to me or tried to ignore me when I wanted to order the menchi katsu. She was too busy serving the other customers the more expensive items and the curry beef or pork. Finally one young chap attended to us. The menchi katsu was super oily and tasted more like pork. I wished I took better note of where the sea urchin bun stall was. We went on a Saturday morning and it was crowded af with tourists so we left

[@atkpirate7831]

With all of the fish eaten in Japan are there mercury worries or other weird things found in fish?

[@Eowynna]

Hello Bonjour, Thank you for this great vidéo 👍🏻

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks for watching!

[@brandytaylor1986.]

Nice shirt

[@samigharbi4171]

Cool

[@darrenbaharrizkii]

where'd u get ur sweater from?

[@iamkuria]

Just wondering if anyone knows if these shops would be open on Sunday?

[@henrytsoi6038]

what time is it best to go to this part of tsukiji market? is 9AM or 11 AM best i'm reading and some places say not open to public till 11 AM and some are saying to go before 9 AM. What is the best time to go?

[@rogerskayleigh]

Im planing to go to Tokyo next year so I am watching food videos and so many of them are showing uncooked meats. Isnt that super dangerous, you can get very sick from uncook fish and other meats. Is there many cooked options? Are you not worried about getting sick or even dying?

[@jpaps018]

Are the stalls still open in tsukiji market?

[@rbzsfg]

4:15 She is absolutely gorgeous.

[@nryan8190]

Uni looks like poopoo but ill try it when im there in april

[@Holyshiszle]

lol what does that sweater say? its totally getting to me and I can't figure it out XD

[@tessfabled4115]

Holyshiszle ‘Tommy’ I think, maybe the brand name?

[@danjun7465]

where did you get the hot dog sweater?

[@jeremydolot2083]

Japanese and Eskimos, look closely related, is it because Eskimos originally came from Japan?

[@zerohero109]

What time the tsukiji market opened?

[@MrDougman59]

When did you film this?...I was there the Saturday before the posting date. It doesn't look that crowded maybe a weekday?

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

I filmed on a Saturday. It was super packed....

[@MrDougman59]

I'm sure that super packed every Saturday. you must been there early.Have you done a piece on attending a Japanese Baseball league game?

[@joannelawrence9497]

I saw a sign at the gyuodon place that said "no sharing" is it bad manners to share or just a request so they don't lose a sale?

[@TheNatasha70007000]

I tried the uni bun but I think they may have been a bit old. The uni/cream was fine but the bun tasted sour and a bit gross :S

[@michaelzelder4752]

Do you know if tsujiki market will still be open in June 2018?

[@charliemendez9991]

The wholesale might move in June but the food stores should be open because Tsukiji is already beyond famous.

[@aldrinpagunuran8688]

bro your channel is awesome.. and your girlfriend too....

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Aldrin!

[@meowgc]

You sounds like a voice over for children's morning show lol

[@IanValeroMartz]

Hello! I have a question, can I use a tripod for my camera in Tokyo streets? or it is forbidden

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

should be fine, just don't get in the way of people.

[@TangTuyetMinh1]

so did you grow up in New York? I cant tell by your accent :)
