Visiting My Restaurant | Invaded by a bloke with British accent.

I would like to officially confess that I owned a restaurant in a hot spring resort called Akiu in Miyagi prefecture and recently had a visit by suspicious guest from Britain.

I’d give the restaurant a 4/5 stars. If it had Risottoro, it would’ve been a 5. 09:06 just about sums up the video.

@@softbune Me too, I put it on the list of places to visit when I visit japan because of this. :)

[@RyotarosJapan]

One of the reasons why I opened my restaurant is, many come to Japan for its food and I wanted to introduce the dishes that use the locally sourced ingredients to whoever visit the area. And now I would like to know what kind of Japanese dish you want to try next time you visit Japan apart from Sushi and Puppy Ramen as those are too ordinary 😋

[@edfrancissenerpida3025]

[@MrCushcam]

Chris said one of his biggest annoyances about Japan was the lack of beer gardens/outdoor seating. Glad to see Ryotaro took it on board

[@raccoonruby86]

Chris is right, Ryotaro's Risottoro would sell like mad! I'd order it :P

[@RyotarosJapan]

Promise to tell the chef

[@trevorrandom]

Me too

[@bakersmileyface]

The rest of Chris's name ideas were absolutely shit. But Ryotoro's Risotto is gold.

[@Xuritron]

With some sauce to look like blood and another murder weapon different than the shovel and the mallet. Like a badass trident.

Maybe have it as a special off the list? 😅

@Itachi Uchiha It's not grammatically correct.

[@Kortexual]

I thought Ryotaro's Japan meant we would see Ryotaro's perspective on Japan, but it seems like it actually means that Ryotaro is a yakuza boss and owns the entirety of Japan. It would seem like Chris has done something to piss off the yakuza...

[@Ken_neThT]

With the amount of his history that we currently know, this may very well be a possibility 🤔

[@Bigassboya]

My take on the lore is that Chris got into trouble with Ryotaro's yakuza group but Ryotaro spared him in exchange for brittish accent lessons

[@Popolar_]

He’s getting poison killed

[@BloodInTheStrawberries]

@@Bigassboya Now Chris is apart of their group and attempts to make Ryotaro experience ego death in return.

"put the mallet down" was not a sentence I was expecting to hear going into this video

"After regaining consciousness..." 😂

[@mechasduo004]

Its nice seeing that Ryotaro does something with his time besides plotting sword usage on expats... but also leave it to Ryotaro to include weapons disguised as utensils for every stage of your meal.

Of course he co-owns a restaurant, it's his secret lair where he hides after each failed assassination attempt.

[@DarthLazer97]

That Chris guy is really funny. It would be great if he started his own channel!

[@Cookie-hs6kz]

Yeah totally, perhaps a cooking channel: A Broad A Pan. The concept is that Chris bakes different sorts of giant bread ("pan" in Spanish, and probably other languages), and proceeds to get inside of them to eat them from the inside out. These would all be 30-60 minute videos of a grown man silently eating man-sized loaves of bread.

[@bakersmileyface]

I have so many responses to this, some are nice and some are not so nice. Most of them are extremely sarcastic and a few are presumptuous. But I have so many responses that I have no idea which one to post. So I'm going to wait for everyone else to do it for me.
