Can’t say that I’ve ever eaten lunch twice, but I do get hungry again after watching one of your videos. 😂

18:38 as an italian, watching you make the Scarpetta with bread and sauce makes me feel very honored. Italy and Japan aren’t that distant, after all. 😂 As always, thanks for all your videos.

[@6purplepineapples]

Another great video! Cat butlers are working overtime this year 🐱

[@annettefournier9655]

[@dougall1687]

Merry Christmas, that looked delicious, and it was good to have your company at dinner again (I often put on your videos when having dinner so as not to dine alone).

[@lillygirl7238]

The set dinner menu looked great! Happy New Year! Looking forward to more videos next year!

[@Aya-xu1xk]

Happy Holidays! Family restaurants always seem to have a comfortable noise about them, no matter where in the world they are.

[@nurietabezos4159]

Wish you all the best for 2025 ❣️ and lots of fun with your videos 😊

[@donfenton7473]

[@countD8852]

These videos always make me hungry...and second lunch sounds like as good an idea as second breakfast

[@pamz7531]

I hope you had a pleasant Christmas. It's not my holiday, but I did get to see some family for a couple of days. I hope you had the same or better. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from NC, USA

[@jenniferhof9448]

I'm so happy that the second and third restaurants were so much better than the first. It would not be right for you to not have a wonderful dinner on Christmas Eve! Many wishes for good health in the coming year!

[@quinnhouk5369]

Love it. Did you have a good Christmas?

[@BethDoublekickChick]

"Beta carotene" is a new one! 😂 Arigato gozaimasu STJ-san 🤘💜🤘

[@cirian75]

Restaurant one would go on to my avoid list

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

Hope your Christmas was a good one and here's to a healthy and prosperous 2025!

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

It’s so 😩 when you decide what you want, your tastebuds and stomach are ready…then they don’t have it 🎄merry Christmas 🎄 メリークリスマス … google even told me how to pronounce that phonetically in Japanese …now I know about 15 Japanese words and one phrase 👏🏼 I’ll be fluent by the time I’m 200! 😂

[@laRosa1969]

Happy holidays to you! Thank you for your vlogs, i really enjoy them and learn a little about Japan 😊

[@Capricornica]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Restaurant three looked the best except the egg looked sooo unappetizing...

[@renerivera9715]

Nice ❤

[@groermaik]

You can blame KFC for your chicken "jones" on Christmas. Happy New Year, my brother.

[@cirian75]

Restaurant three is quite good as well

[@joek.7819]

What-no Curry? Perhaps next year! HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉😃🍚🥢🍺🍰

[@DonnaLee4]

I would be dipping that baguette into the broth, just like you did!😅

[@Genthar]

Happy Holidays! Thank you for your caloric sacrifice. :)

[@ThePykitty]

There are no calories at Christmas, enjoy!!

[@dryroasted5599]

Wiping your plate with your dinner roll is common and considered polite in America.

[@loosilu]

Solo San, you weren't alone, your family is always right here.

[@xxMapSyrxx]

Thank you for the information. For Christmas 2025, I am interesting in going to Japan. I heard there are some hotels that offer Christmas dinners etc. They typically require reservations in advance. Is this correct?

[@mantakels]

Oh, wow, the KFC video was from a year ago? Time really flies

[@monotonehell]

4:04 for the first time since 1983 you can say "どうもありがとうミスターロボット " (Mr Roboto - Styx) Or should that be "どうもありがと猫ロボット" ?

[@TustinJimberlake]

feels...

[@debbieelliott7471]

You know you will order curry😂

[@jakerson181]

Two full lunches and an extra side order of chicken and only at that point are you finally "getting full." 😂 I don't know how you eat all that food.

[@UncleHoCM]

🙂

[@sinnombre4357]

What? You shouldn't mop up the leftover sauce with the bread? I get upset when a restaurant serves a dish with a lot of sauce and they barely give you a small piece of bread to go with it. Either that or give me a spoon.

[@southpakrules]

1.4k+

[@ediapaff8858]

We went to USJ on christmas :3c I guess the food was similarly family restaurant style for us, too ;3

[@hamdinger7145]

You are supposed to eat KFC on Christmas

[@mschococat]

Nothing else you ate for the rest of the day compared to not eating the King Crab and Beef Filet set meal. Sad. 😢

[@DonnaLee4]

( >,○,< ) too! much! food! Wait we're talking about stj here...this is normal!😅

[@jeremybiwer8756]

You are just letting your inner Hobbit out. They have 6 to 7 meals a day.

[@bryonyamada2620]

To me lunch looks very disappointing. The chicken was the only thing redeemable. 2nd Lunch was MUCH better. Dinner look good. Would skip the soup, not a fan.

[@ramprashad29]

Alone and lonely. Get a pet dog or something dude you are getting old. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

[@zz3410]

Classic bait and switch! Shame on you, Johnathan's! Happy 2025!

[@spicy_xinger]

its ironic this is way worse than you normally eat

[@phrababushkath2350]

A very poor choich - all the food looks unappetizing

[@darrylhewitt2168]

Merry Christmas!

[@ThemiddlechildKMG]

Merry Christmas!
