[@R-squaredmedia]

General "Street Foods" vids from the areas of Jiyugaoka or Zoshiki (near Kamata) would be great (a couple of the areas I lived in when I used to live in Japan), and for "specific food" videos, tonkatsu, karē, or elite level unagi would be dope. Thanks for your vids, you are absolutely the best Tokyo/Japan-based youtuber

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks R - Squared Media! Those are great suggestions, looking forward to getting to these videos in 2019!

[@Anne-ug4jv]

Happy new year Paolo and Maiko! May I suggest you guys do fluffy pancakes around Tokyo? Or any breakfast meals would be nice. Looking forward to more videos this 2019!

[@rebeccabassett6638]

I've always loved MOCHI!! Its entertaining too! Its cool to watch them make it from what I've seen of traditional Japanese cooking.! But I'd like to see more of what japan offers with mochi ^-^

[@1inaLillian]

Paolo fromTOKYO will you do a more extensive video on the new Tsukiji market?

[@ushbag]

You know how I know Paulo is a great father. Literally all his jokes are dad jokes. “Shoyu, get it.” I laughed way harder than I’m proud to admit.

[@mikeh2125]

Thanks Paolo! We've just come back from Misoya Hachiro Shoten, and I ordered exactly what you got. WOW!! We've eaten a lot of ramen so far, and this place is by far our favourite - we'll be going back tomorrow for dinner. You've been a godsend, my friend. We've been able to achieve so much more in less time with all your tips! Mike

[@spaze04]

Im a simple man, I see a Paolo vid, I watch and like.

日本人より日本のこと知ってそう！毎回動画素敵すぎる〜

[@birdsboyfriend]

Last year was at Menhso SAN Francisco and tried wagyu beef Ramen... was great thanks for ur recommendation.... it’s been over a year, Japan has stuck in my head Japanese great people, respectful, craftsmanship, artistic, attention to detail... can’t wait to go back❤️

[@sonny8988]

Please make more of these for other districts!

[@jasonstone9936]

You said, "Top Ramen". My mom bought and cooked Top Ramen for me. Brings back memories.

[@chrisjzx9471]

Misoya hachiro is truly amazing, we stayed at an air bnb in the building next door, some of my mates ate it twice a day. Best ramen I’ve ever had hands down.

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Thank you for all your helpful videos throughout 2018! We know you're going to smash it even more in 2019, have an amazing new year Paolo! 👌

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks for all the love Millennial Travel Confessions!

[@darliskawhitaker1979]

@@PaolofromTOKYO I Love Ramen Noodles 🍜😋.

[@denizgasimli824]

Misoya Hachiro Ramen was one of the best food experiences I have had ever!

[@marcusleongcharnfai7210]

Hi Paolo, I just tried your no 1 recommendation for ramen in Shinjuku today. Ramen Murai was insanely huge in portion. I oredred the $1550 yen with the huge charsu. OMG! Its even hard for a guy to finish the whole bowl. It was a good tasty bowl of shoyu ramen. Very rich in flavor and noodles were firm and soaks up the broth. Keep making more videos in Japan dude!

[@gonkiciyamyam7222]

Thank you Paolo for always unique videos. As you say, it is difficult to decide the top 5 because there are so many ramen shops in Shinjuku and Shibuya. People who are watching this video just want to try various shops referring to this. You will surely find your favorite ramen.

[@amandacraig4379]

WARNING- do not watch this on your lunch break at work, what ever you're eating will not satisfy you after you see these ramen 😂

[@carooteiza8074]

Amanda Craig I am drooling and wishing we were in 2020 😹😹as I will not be in Japan till then🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@jborde]

Watched this while waiting to go on lunch break. BIG MISTAKE!!!

[@Eww...NotTheHumansAgain]

Too late... 😅

[@julianbarazzutti7960]

Or being hungry >:()

[@meaganwadsworth3040]

@@carooteiza8074 Did you make it to japan? lol

[@slk5020]

You had me rolling, "... man, I'm sweating." I'm also impressed, you've managed to keep your hoodie spotless, especially during your "Super Spicy" ramen! Awesome, vid!

[@mickgartondriver]

We were in Shinjuku 2 weeks ago and went to Misoya Hachiro Shoten, it was amazing great recommendation!

[@GunGrave112985]

It was a horrible idea to watch this video at lunchtime, now I MUST HAVE RAMEN!!! Thanks for the awesome content, keep it up!

[@cm4789]

I am obsessed with udon. I basically have a long term relationship with it. How about videos on best udon restaurants and/or places where you can join a udon making class?

[@superchatoalien4905]

Udon is great but very underrated! Udon has so much varieties by every region. I want him to explore Udon world!

[@Artbyemzed95]

Udon in japan was amazing. Only went to one place and you could see them cut and cook it to order as you were lining up waiting. Was really blown away by it, much more than any ramen I tried.

[@gymz4065]

Paolo! I can’t believe that u did not get any on your Japan sweater! You good! More spicy food please!

[@Pandemiclui]

went to number 3, dude was friendly af and his english was understandable, but the food, OMG, delicious

[@FrostGaming21-f9]

You should do a video with strictly dumpling

[@StewBurgah]

Agreed!

[@glasyalabolas6585]

Absolutely😍✨

[@artie4017]

No

[@hmmm3741]

Clearly Paolo knows way more good hidden spots in Tokyo than strictly dumpling for living in Japan for more than 15 years, wouldn’t be that entertaining if Mike’s just going to be learning from him while knowing fully that strictly dumpling only introduces places in Tokyo where tourists go. Literally stopped watching his channel when he said Ichiran has the best ramen he ever had

[@michelebianchi7861]

strictly dumpling is too full of shit

[@iamalwaysnew]

These are very interesting ramen choices. I will follow your recommendations. For next video, Could you share any ideas to - get the economy lunch set under 1000Yen. - best breakfast in Tokyo for traveler.

[@DanikarlColobong]

You can go to yoshinoya, sukiya matsuya, matsunoya, gogo curry, coco ichiban, etc these are usually fast food places cost for as low as 1000 yen per meal. 😁

[@angesday452]

Ichiran's most basic ramen is less than 1000yen. And most of the conbini lunch sets don't go over 1000yen, and you'd have enough for a drink.

[@davion1981]

I just woken up. After seeing this video I would love to have some ramen for breakfast. They all looked so tasty.

[@nikip9161]

I loved them all, I was drawn particularly to your third stop... That spicy bowl 🥣.. Admittedly, I'm a bit of a chili chaser and love the flavors with the heat combined. The black garlic is a wonderful standard. I won't even comment on the prices, (they're fantastic)... Thank you for allllll the beautiful dishes 😊❤👍🌻

[@appleblows1]

Definitely going to patronize Misoya Hachiro. Can’t wait.

[@mrcyflft]

Manrai would be my favorite; the ramen (and pork roast slices!) looked incredible...would also love the natto foam on the dipping ramen, so lush!

[@unebonnevie]

Number #1's wagu beef bowl is excellent. Number #3 shop looks great! Number #1 shop has BIG servings!

[@stefansl]

I tried some of the shops. Oreno Sora was by far the best ramen I've ever eaten. Thanks Paolo! :)

[@カカポ-b6n]

I like the way you say 掛け豚そば、つけ豚そば、あえ豚そば It's like singing.

[@astroboy3507]

Wow Manrai since 1961 love the old places!!!!!! Nice to try!!!!! Paolo enjoy the holidays!!!!! And happy new year guys!!!! Thanks for the Years info too!!!!

[@kredyhemopo3792]

Your merch is dope 🧡

[@RionIshida]

Spicy miso is my favorite 🍜 I cannot eat spicy food much, but Kara-miso(spicy miso in Japanese) is different story. Their rich taste let me forget the spiciness🤣

[@keeliekalayidol8876]

Paolo! Happy New Year! And Maiko too 🎉 Will you guys ever go to one of Seungri's ramen shops? Loving the pink sweatshirt btw 💖 Also a late night, after hours what Tokyo is like (ie: 2 a.m.) would be fun 😄

First time I’ve heard of Oreno Sora and ramen looks damn good. Thanks for the recommendation! will check it out. Also, FYI, Mensho wasn’t imported from SF. Menya Shono shops already existed in Tokyo and was later changed to simply Mensho. Mensho SF was one of their later opened shops.

Thanks for this video man! Checking stuff to do in Tokyo because we are going to Japan in January 20!!

[@LeoSkyro]

Went to Manrai Ramen today thanks to your recommendation and it was indeed good. I wasnt super hungry so I got the regular 950円 ramen but that was a hefty bowl as well. It was pretty funny because the place was filled with dudes, mostly salary men and some old guys, and then there I was, a gaijin eating his first bowl of ramen ever lol EDIT: went to Ore no Sora today, it was excellent as well. I got the Kake Buta Soba, the duck had a really nice flavour and texture, like both soft and chewy ahah But the standout was the broth, it was so rich, the shredded pork, the green lil thingies, the bamboo shoots. I drank it all after I was done. If I had to find one complaint, which is stretching it, it would maybe be the noodles, I'm more of a thick and firm noodle guy myself, also there could have been a bit more of them, I was hungry ahah I might have liked Ore no Sora more than Manrai tbh, but to be fair at Manrai I did take the 900yen ramen and not the big boy one, so my opinion might be subject to change

[@armandosanchez4830]

That looks so so good
