Why This Village in Japan Makes SUSHI Without Fish | Hidaka Village

[@RyotarosJapan]

Check out the places I visited in the video! www.funliday.com/travel_japan_ryotarosjapan/journals/79465?openExternalBrowser=1

[@vegan_dragon]

Could you add the places you went on Happy Cow? I looked at the app and non of the places are listed! Honestly, the only vegan place in the intire prefecture that I can see is in the capital. Someone need to recorrect this. I want to make a video about the prefecture but I don't know where to go.

[@Vitali_Osandor]

You have really one of the best channels on KZbin. Love you and your content! 👍👍👍

[@tyranitararmaldo]

Came expecting a Chris Broad insult. Got one within just 26 seconds. 10/10 would recommend.

[@Thomas_Name]

I wonder if his fans will demand a KZbin video of his wedding. And I wonder if he'll upload one.

[@Unimportant]

Chris and Connor complain about cycling across Japan only to stuff themselves with McDonalds, meanwhile Ryotaro runs everywhere with no problem while eating tasty local produce.

I knew I like risottoro for a reason.

[@droolingfangirl]

Oh my gosh, I love how casual and silly your translations are.❤

[@bubblesbutternuts694]

if you ever experienced the work culture in japan you would think walking and cycling even just breathing was heaven

[@RyotarosJapan]

**NOTIFICATION SQUAD** I recently visited Hachinohe in Aomori, where Chris and I filmed a video called "Japanese nightlife" and saw people who appeared in the video and they all thanked us for many viewers actually went and visited them and it is now my turn to thank you!

[@ButterfingersMb]

Great Video btw

The subtitles are so good, hahaha

[@jcmartinez7527]

Blimey !

1:49 translating Arigatō gozaimasu as “Cheers mate” totally caught me off guard 😂 you’ve been hanging around that troublesome Chris fellow too much I see! Edit: 1:57 omg “That’s well sweet bruv” SENT ME 🤣

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

"Mohei, Gohei. Get It? Me neither, I just wanted free food" relatable 😂So the story of how gohei mochi became a thing is an interesting one. There are different theories for why (like created by someone named Gohei), but the most likely reason has to do with geography and Shintoism. It was invented in the Edo period and specifically comes from the area of Gifu and Nagano, and those places are quite mountainous and forested, where walnuts can be found and even hornet larvae for richer taste. Other ingredients like sugar and refined sake were added thanks to being on an important trade route connecting Kyoto and Edo via this region. But the ingredients of the Gohei mochi like refined sake were expensive or hard or cumbersome to come by for ordinary peasants, and so it wasn't eaten often and was more of an offering. Gohei mochi was shaped to resemble the Gohei or onbe, staffs with plaited paper streamers used in the Shinto religion. There is also a strong connection to the mountains, because the gods were believed to live there, and some of these sacrificial ceremonies were indeed held in the mountains.

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

Come for the fishless sushi and tomatoes, stay for the Ryotaro fitness grindset! Ah yes, putting chili crisp on your spaghetti...famous last words. I've been putting chili oil on everything ever since I started watching Mikey Chen. Sure it gives you a kick and not for the faint of heart, but it adds nice flavor to anything! The reason Kochi's tomatoes are extra sweet is because of a typhoon in the 1970s broke a dam near the city of Kochi and flooded a tomato farm with seawater (so that sound effect edit with the wave splash at 1:56 is fitting). The salty water reduced the tomatoes' ability to absorb water, making them smaller, denser, and much sweeter.

[@aeowendarling]

Thank you so much Ryotaro for featuring this village! I know you love showcasing meat dishes on this show, but I appreciate that you went out of your way to do vegetables justice. I appreciate the effort! It is so hard to find vegan places in Japan and you featured so many options. Thank you again!

[@Ilonahild]

That sushi looks amazing! I feel like if I ever make it to Japan, I’ll need several months to go everywhere to try all the amazing food. Thanks for another great video, Ryotaro!

[@DamKaKaDaNi]

I love those jargony subtitles, it's such a fun way of translating the less-formal-Japanese. Bone apple teeth ^^

[@Count-Roflmfao]

Love the subtitles! "Did I stutter?"

[@FuzzySamurai]

we may have abroad in japan, but you are definitely the MAN OF JAPAN! great video!!!!

[@Claudiaatje212]

Glad to see so many vegan dishes featured, I'll be sure to visit this part of Japan on my next trip 🙂

[@Xubuntu47]

Right? Should be on every vegan visitor's itierary. And also just foodies in general.

[@ferdog5057]

These subtitles are killin me. Haha Thanks for another great vid Ryotaro!

[@archeosr85]

The Broad burn was good, but the subtitles were amazing!!! Great job, as usual, and you got plenty of speed running in it too, watch and learn cyclist Chris

[@baoquoc3710]

Sounds like something straight out of April Jokes🤣🤣

[@walterroux291]

Definitely my favourite Ryotaro video, keep up the good work. Also that subtitler does need a raise, had me cackling.

[@borneoorangutan]

This was a really pleasing video to watch. I've always loved traveling and since becoming vegan ~2 years ago I've always tried aiming for places that more naturally tended towards plant based foods and this seems almost exactly like one of those kinds of places, which says a lot considering it's Japan.

[@blakmasta]

same goes for me too! This is the place I will go for my vegan needs 😅🥳

[@alexpetrov5461]

Remember that Japan has a decent amount of Buddhists so going to prefectures with large populations of them is also a way to get Vegan meals :)

[@kamikoto1558]

sane im a vegetarian not a vegan so more leeway but 100%

[@borneoorangutan]

@@kamikoto1558 i am curious if you have looked into why people going vegan instead of just vegetarian

[@kinn11]

the subtitles :>>>>>>>> im dying of laughter

[@justarandomonion4809]

I love it whenever Ryotaro throws shade at Chris.

[@alittleofsomething]

Finally, authentic Japanese sushi I can actually try without compromising on just cucumber or avocado :D

[@safesayf]

These subtitles are golden. Loved the video!!

[@mydogisbailey]

i think ryotaro's brain is confused by all the various accents' pronunciation of tomato so he just decided to create his own pronunciation XD

[@MischeifMakerz]

Bro your captions/subtitles are frigging hilarious! LOL 😂

[@-Raylight]

It's not a complete Ryotaro video without roasting Chris xD *"We have made sushi"* *"Yeah so what?"* *"Without fish"* *"Right there way sir"*

[@dudesuh]

Came for the veggie sushi, stayed and laughed so hard at the captions 😅

[@YeYe-wz1wi]

Bro Ryotaro is so underrated way more people should be watching his videos great content

[@Xubuntu47]

Ikitai yo! I wanna go there. Hidaka tomatoes--the Wagyu beef of produce. They are on my bucket list.

[@ob1quixote]

I'm not sure who the genius is writing the captions, but I laughed right out loud at "Blimey!" for "Sugoi!"

[@ShredST]

I'm glad that knowing Chris has led to Ryotaro making videos, because Chris would never make videos about Japan like this.

[@NatsumeRyu]

Ryotaro's videos are getting cute, and i love it.

[@potgee]

Translating "sugoi" as "blimey" made my day! 😊

[@xsuperduperspoonx]

RUNNING AWAY AT THE END OF EACH SCENE TRANSITION NEEDS TO BE RYOTARO'S SIGNATURE MOVIE IN VIDEOS. JUST SAYING. thank you for attending my TED Talk.

[@empireempire3545]

I wonder what Ryotaro-san would think about europeanized-sushi in the EU. Sushi has become really popular in country i am from (Poland) during the last 15 years, and in good restaurants one can find really creative things... but would a native Japanese like it? 🤔

[@RyotarosJapan]

I actually went to Izumi Sushi Biały Kamień in Warsaw and I quite liked the Polished styled Sushi not only how it tasted but also how you decorate the dish. I would love to visit there again.

[@BxBxProductions]

me: It's fokin shite mate although i feel it's more to do with the freshness/availability of the ingredients. the chef can only do so much to 'recreate' sushi outside of Japan no matter how skilled they are.

[@larsstougaard7097]

Love the sweater 🎋 and non fish 🐟 sushi 🍣, like vegan Kobe steak 🥩

[@itsmrotaku]

It's Ryotaro! Our man in Japan, amazing video mate I love the subs XD

[@carolineb7127]

I meet up with a friend who eats gluten free food and often it isn't practical to keep food cold on camping trips so we do "build your own sushi" with local veges, sushi rice and packet nori. It is great because we can each make to our own taste and it is fun to try out new flavour combinations.

[@soju81]

The subtitles are hilarious. "Did I studder?" "Bang tidy mate!!!!" LOLLLLLLL

[@CelticUchuu]

Food looked really good.

[@Fluffymonkeyem]

Interesting, that's definitely something i''d like to try! Bamboo shoots and mushrooms? Yum!

[@jucchan]

I love the shots of ryotaro sprinting across places with a calm voice over

[@andrewlamb3585]

I know that you really enjoy meats and fish but thank you for making content that shows plant based food as well! ありがとうございました!!

[@rodot-wd8et]

This channel is a hidden jam! 😄

[@JustAnotherJapanChannel]

Nevermind the Inakazushi, I'd love to bite into one of those tomatos like it's a hand fruit

[@karlpron]

If I ever can afford to go to Japan, I would definitely go to Kochi. Thank you for the great video.

[@robotredford]

Oh man, Did I stutter? Really made me laugh, I wasn't expecting it at all. Well done!

[@cjtouhey]

The translated subtitles cracked me up for this !

[@ItsBAndBees]

“Did I stutter??” 😂 I love the subtitles

[@brayoungful]

Ryotaro, I just started watching your channel. I do speak some Japanese, and your subtitles are hilarious and amazing.

[@jespernohr]

I am going to Kochi! Seems to be a vegetarian's heaven :D

[@RyotarosJapan]

When you go there, make sure to stay at Haruka-san's amazing rental house and make Inakakazushi www.yadoya-mysato.com/en

[@torspedia]

Added this video to my 'places to visit' list, for when I'm able to make my first trip to Japan. 🙂

[@dra6o0n]

The breed of the tomato helps it retain sugar levels, also the more ripe it is, the softer it is and the sweeter it is. Tomato's sweetness becomes sour and watery if chilled, meaning do not refrigerate and do consume in the form it is in. Not sure how cooking affects it's sugar level though. But if this variant of tomato can handle colder temperatures without turning the sugars into water (hence becoming sour) it can handle being refrigerated.

[@emb5091]

1:48 I bet Yuimetal would love those sweet tomatoes!🤘🦊🤘

[@Psynch2]

I love the vid and the gorgeous countryside! Inaka Japan has so many fun curious perspectives on traditional cuisine!

[@silverchairsg]

Seems like my dream kind of sushi. No nasty seafood at all.

[@erineclair3446]

that sushi and outta nowhere mochi looks amazing haha. now i wanna go to this place!

[@Jigsaw407]

[@portercraft1]

I love the "sarcastic" remarks added in captioning 3:04 . XD

[@notuxnobux]

A dream place for vegans. High quality vegetables and fruit. I would love to visit hidaka if I ever go to japan.

[@shimi_raikkonen]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Reminds me of my favorite chirashizushiya in front of Hakuraku eki in Yokohama, back in the 90s. It’s probably gone now, but I used to order their mountain vegetable chirashi at least once every two weeks or so.

[@sunriseGo]

Damn, I just randomly saw your video pop up and now I'm all hungry for the food you ate! You make it look really tasty (maybe because it is really tasty :D) Thanks for sharing your fun

[@bluesmithee1603]

Funny and informative as always. The subtitles are hilarious🤣

[@redcastlefan]

I love your energy. Probably a bit tough to match for some of the people you have in your videos hahaha.

[@chocomental]

"That was lush mate!" Is Chris doing your subtitles? 😂 Also that origami paper bowl from the restaurant at 3:44?! Genius

[@blahblah-rn1ts]

You should run more often towards your episode :) Loved it

In its case, I guess I will need to buy more microphones

[@KatashiTheFox]

Ryotaro I love your videos and sushi without fish sound so new to me I've never heard of that before

[@Dream_more_age_less]

That pasta looks really really good

[@sayonarakid]

"you death?" 😆 I don't thats what he said but I'm fine with it. Also everything looks so delicious! Really amazing food in this episode. Also (2) that paper plate in the pasta restaurant is so cool!

[@plasmadrone3123]

07:07 I was just thinking about Sate that I was eating a week ago down here in my hometown in Indonesia when I first saw that Mohei Mochi. Ryotaro seems to have visited Indonesia too :> :>

[@HalonOfficial]

Another great video Mr. Ryotaro 😀 Love the subtitles 🤣

[@Living_Target]

An often overlooked variant(?) is inarizushi. As a vegetarian, it's actually my favorite Japanese snack/meal, but I haven't seen a KZbinr talk about it since it sounds so plain. It is made with sushi rice, so I wonder if it's considered sushi.

[@Living_Target]

@@straberryshinigami15g97 it depends on the Dashi, at least in the US, you can find some restaurants that do vegetarian Dashi.

[@carlvincent12]

I love Ryotaro’s subtitles 😂

[@dondonnysson4973]

As one of the 3 vegan viewers that watch you and Chris is must say this was quite cool

[@Ungoliant92]

As one of the 23 vegetarian viewers that watch you and Chris I must say this was quite cool!

[@GingerBun]

it is a nice change from wagyu beef or whatever

[@FlowerGodRowan]

Thank you Mr Slurpie, very cool as always

[@carn109]

I guess the microphone is gonna be sleeping with the fishes The sushi looks great! would love to try it out

[@cri6009]

don't worry your italian was pretty good, now i wanna go and see if that pasta can compare to italian pasta. anway this was a great video, keep up the good work!!

[@marley7659]

I love this women making mohei mochi

[@Aurica34]

As Singaporean, I dont understand the taste of that sweet mochi.... Then Ryotaro-San said it taste like Satay. I immediately understand the taste now!

[@lolkthnxbai]

The first thing I thought of when he showed those sugar levels was pasta! I also make my own sauce and one thing a lot do go offset the acidic nature of some tomatoes is adding extra sugar but having an already sweeter tomato would probably be even better.

[@animeloverXinuyasha]

think of making ketchup using a sweet tomato instead of adding sugar to tomato puree 🤩

[@oo0OAO0oo]

Wow! I am Vegan and always find it hard to imagine to be at Japan for a longer period, but hey, NOW I want to move there! Kōchi here I come!

[@oo0OAO0oo]

Btw the subtitles are mad lit bruv. ;)

[@famicomplicated]

Ok was Chris Broad responsible for the subtitles? It was straight out of something like Eurotrash, absolutely the best thing in the video 😂

[@TheIlustrado]

1:23 this is worthy of a meme

[@ASIRIDesigns]

Good timing Ryotaro! I was just planning to make vegetable sushi.

[@martiuscastle]

And thus, my list of "to dos" in Japan keeps growing. Yoko-san seems to be a very sweet person, cheers!

[@azurepulse1870]

I love how the subtitles are localized for Brits instead of a straight translation. Chris has rubbed off on you! xD.

[@lols12169]

Love the British subtitles
