20-Hour Ferry Travel in Japan: Rough Sea and Dining Experience

[@Gregman654]

Thanks for the recommend, Vinny!

[@Fadzi2342]

There’s hungry. And then there’s “22-gyoza-orders” hungry.

[@davidmcgill1000]

That's a "stern talking to from the chef" level of hungry.

[@strumminronin]

He's got that gyoza craving going in me!! 😂 Gosh those things are delish!!

[@deirdregarcia2762]

That's what impatience gets you. He caught it tho😅

[@TenguTalks]

i mean, what's wrong with wanting 22 orders of delicious delicious gyoza?

[@ramprashad29]

That's the first time I heard you say you were sea sick. Curry is always delicious. I saw guys on a Japanese navy vessel cooking curry for the crew on board it was the best-looking curry ever. I could just imagine how magnificent it tasted. I thought about you right away.

[@Alcochaser]

We all sing... Sunflower... sunflower... just because!

[@maciejnowakowski6978]

Hell yeah 😂 Sunflower... Sunflower.. 😂

[@tracycraft2971]

lol! I was just singing that!!❤

[@elysescar]

I wish I had the means to send you a real Chicago pizza because it's nothing like the ferry version. Love your adventures.

[@joeysheremeta4771]

Please don’t ever stop making these videos. Thank you!!

[@blktauna]

That is not a pizza, it is a tostada... Those gyoza looked amazing. So did the lemon steak.

[@Islandicus]

I thought for a pizza, it looked pretty weird

[@01cthompson]

I was going to say just that about the pizza.

[@calihapamama]

I agree. That "pizza crust" looks more like the taco salad shells at Taco Bell than an actual pizza crust.

[@cynthiaredmon4259]

Agreed,that's a tostada,not a pizza. But,everything else looks good. Safe travels,STJ!

[@HeavyMetalMech]

"But the sea is getting rough. There are a number of people who look seasick. Lunch time!" I admire your perseverance.

[@TehMaticus]

Vinny sends his regards.

[@Beneaththeshower]

Whenever I see Italian food on a Japanese YT video, it is always adapted for the Japanese palate, which is exactly what we in the West do with food from around the world. Most Indian food in the West, is nothing like authentic Indian food. I love your videos so thanks for all your travels.

[@zombiekiller7243]

Vinny sent me, loved watching those videos before

[@ZeroGT_]

lmao,your addiction to curry,i love it!

[@ravagesoyjoy]

😂 22 items of the same order. Good thing you caught that fast😅

[@Berk-lf6ge]

that reminded me of a scene where a character played by bruce lee had accidently ordered 10 soups or so at a restaurant in italy

[@lteht6919]

Thanks for your continued awesome videos.

[@marilynturcotte5304]

I'm glad you remembered to bring the seasickness pills this time, man; they must have knocked you out! For you to be in bed still at 11:00 a.m., you were tired!! Yes, the meals looked a bit sad this time; they just matched the weather you had. The gyoza crisis was funny, but I don't think you could have tolerated all 22 without any concerns. Maybe 15, but not 22 plates of nine. So happy touring, and take us along with you.

[@rickwezenaar]

"It's small so it doesn't count..." 🤣

[@TheAmazingDrCheat]

THATS WHAT SHE SAID! I'm sorry I'll see myself out

[@rickwezenaar]

@@TheAmazingDrCheat ha ! 🤣

[@chrisolsen5280]

And then he added another bowl of rice LOL I love this guy!

[@shootfirst2097]

I knew BEFORE you started eating the curry that you would need more rice.

[@Kangal_06]

Hahah yep the ying didn't quite match the yang .

[@gretchen2964]

I love these videos, I have severe sea sickness and hate boats. But these let me enjoy the experience 😊

[@tracygibson5971]

Hi Solo enjoy your trip love from Rockingham NC USA ❤❤

[@hhoh8146]

One of the reasons why I love holidaying in Japan is exactly because English is not widely spoken; this fact forces me to slow down, find ways to communicate and learn

[@davidw2739]

Yes, it's part of the adventure, and honestly much more fun. Besides, people generally are kind, especially in Japan.

[@saskiapanter]

During your late night diner after checking in....music from Ennio Morricone, Once upon a Time in America, beautiful movie and even more beautiful music❤

[@305crosby]

Sun flower Sun flower Taiyo ni mamoraratei (Let the sun protect us)

[@AuntK68]

The lemon steak looked very tender and flavorful!

[@BigPatsy]

Horses have their own mackerel now? 😂🐴🦈

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip. The fastest ship between Tokyo and Shinmoji, because it didn't need to stop in Tokushima. The dinner won't be completed without curry. This ship definitely workhorse, only rest about 3-4 hours after sailing around 21 hours. Can't imagine if this ship needs maintenance.

[@ValentineFarm]

That bedroom is horrifying 😮 food looks nice

[@Ms.HarmonyJ]

My friend sensationl this food looks so delicious boy I can't wait to travel to Japan in a couple of years be safe much love have fun for me ❤

[@AmandaGriggs-g4m]

I think skillet pizza is a better name for that dish and it didn’t look too great. But it is definitely, in no way shape or form, Chicago style nor was it when they called it that in your previous video. I love your content, thanks so much for sharing! 😊🎉

[@andrea6421]

I thought that beef dish looked really good. Thanks for another awesome video STJ 😊

[@fahad203]

Very detailed video. Loved it. Thank you for taking the time to make it for rest of us. Part of the video around 4am was very haunting

[@IronFreee]

That "pizza" looks like something you would have with a beer, to share with friends :D

[@lolwutyoutube7561]

Great shot of the children's playing room 😆

[@moggridge1]

Come on, you could have eaten 22 gyoza! 😂

[@KentAJDK]

At your last dinner on the trip, you picked the same two dishes, that I wanted myself. 😊

[@deirdregarcia2762]

Im glad you tried the lemon steak. It looked good 😉

[@lisa-m-jennings]

I love when you show us the menus. I was looking with you and saw the miso mackerel and thought that is what I would order and you ordered it so it was nice to see the presentation. It looked delicious!

[@mark-ib7sz]

I like the Japanese blues music that they were playing on the last meal.

[@groovyroses]

What a fun trip and the food looks really yummy.

[@dskadd32]

Thank you. That was a wet trip. The food looked good though

[@markheck4155]

Very nice trip. Fun seeing the food. Much better fresh vs. Vending machine microwaved. Thanks STJ from Michigan!

[@cirian75]

That food looks promising!!!

[@dawnlemieux8225]

Lol! The curry bit was so funny!

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

DOMO 🙏 SOLO FOR SHARING THE JOURNEY 🛳️🛳️🛳️

[@MireilleTessier]

Your subtitles game is ON POINT! i was laughing LOUD during the beef curry session haha.. "it's small so it doesnt count" and then "OOPS... NEED MORE RICE" hahahahahahahaha its an absolute bliss to read, i love your videos even more because of this

[@dcrom]

Dear Curry San. Knew your favorite was going to get eaten as soon as you said you wouldn't. I love that about you! They must have been compeled by logic to drop the Chicago Pizza name, for that is NOT in any way a Chicago pizza. 22 Gyozas might have been a little much for you, though... even you! ✌🤟

[@robjones8733]

Wonderful thank you! 🙂

[@Budlopes]

Great videos!!!

[@suzannadannaTARDIS]

When you showed the menu on the wall with the "Late night snack menu", I spied the curry and knew it would end up in front of you. I love that you enjoy your curries so much. Oops! 22 Gyoza? I don't think you could eat that many servings, even on your hungriest days. They did look amazing, though! No, that's not skillet pizza. It looks like they took a flour tortilla and sprinkled toppings on it. Pizzas are made with dough and should have some give to them.

[@lesbw356]

Oh yeah !!!!! Time to travel !!!!!!

[@RedUnit10]

That absolutely, was not, skillet pizza. That, was a crispy tortilla.

[@eyenpersu5248]

I thought I heard a cat meow at about 9 minutes in. I thought 'how odd, he's on a ship and there's a cat there. Must be a kid and I heard it wrong'. What I heard wrong was where the meow was coming from. Turns out my cat wanted to go into my room and meowed at the perfect volume that it blended in with the sounds from the video.

[@vvogt4252]

Excellent Video! Have a Wonderful Day!

[@nmb46]

Amazing, loved it.

[@robertlyon8876]

The food in Japan is wonderful

[@noreenswartz4163]

Thanks for sharing love your videos thanks again ❤❤❤❤

[@renerivera9715]

Amazing ❤

[@rambojambone4586]

A 20 hour vacation. You eat sleep drink beer bathe watch ocean. Great!

[@CarmenHatcher-pp7nu]

I admired your attempt at not having the curry right away and 22 orders of gyoza would have settled your stomach the next day😊 The skillet pizza looks like what I would consider a taco shell for taco salad. How do you not get seasick in the small room with no windows? Thanks for taking us on another great!

[@ernakruger1112]

Interesting, funny and I am hungry as usual now

[@strumminronin]

Thanks for another upload! This is one "chill out come back to earth" long boat ride! I am interested for sure, but another part of me feel I don't have the patience, unless I am the captain of the ship!

[@lesdavis3596]

STJ, travel to Chicago to get real Chicago deep dish pizza!

[@kurth.8599]

My mouth is hanging open for that Beef Curry, yes please😋

[@IceLynne]

I'm glad you do these videos because it's a good reminder not to go on one 😆 I could never stand the speaker announcements and the music they play.

[@chrisgardner6677]

Mahalo for your videos! I love that you dont have background music and too much voice over!

[@Dax893]

Great minds think alike! I also had a shirasu pizza on my trip to Tokyo a few weeks ago. Mine was shirasu garlic, ¥500 at Happy hour, and the crust was very thin like yours. You could cut my pizza, but you could snap it.

[@bobmetcalfe9640]

Must be good stabilisation on that camera, because the ship didn't seem to be rolling or pitching much at all.

[@paulinelau7809]

❤❤

[@grassmanBoca]

It’s funny they put morning, lunch, and dinner in English and everything is in Japanese

[@SoloTravelJapan]

Thanks for always supporting me :)

[@imransharif443]

Beautiful

[@nicopolis7377]

" I will order a beer " , best decision you made .

[@killerwhaletank]

I have a question. Are the ferries usually deserted? I'm a long-time fan and I've noticed that you seem to be alone on every ship. I'm just wondering if they run when they have very few passengers; probably because cargo is also being run by the ship, isn't it?

[@GenericaQwerty]

Genuinely laughed out loud at the 22 orders of gyoza. 😂

[@bling1634]

Awesome video

[@magerame]

If anyone could eat 22 servings of gyoza it would be you! I believe in you Solo-san!! 😂

[@educanassa100]

Amazing trip

[@PplEtr]

I like watching, not the least because you and I share the same priorities of food security when traveling. A couple of thoughts: I'd love to invite you for a real Chicago-style pizza. Although it's not my favorite style of pizza, it is still something to experience. What you had there was a tostada (a mexican flat bread) served in a cast iron pan. I'm amazed at the economics of that ferry line. It looked empty! I wonder how they can keep in business. The food selection was impressive. I think they only way they could accomplish that is by catering it from an outside facility. It seems impossible to prepare all of that food onboard such an empty ship.

[@Mr2pint]

To think the best food avaliable on Ferry tavel in NZ is old meat pies with sour tomato sauce, watching this video fills me with hope 👀

[@ThongvanNonsithanh]

Thank you for the trip. I am hungry.

[@deannyeltatzie7759]

15:22. I miss that sound. Call me crazy but it brings back a lot of memories of my Ferry days. 17:05. Oh, it is just a little swell.

[@Pnw_Railfan_Aviation]

Sick! I so want to do this and Visit Japan one day I need a tour guide lol

[@RobinPalmerTV]

Why you’re not sponsored by a beef curry brand is beyond me

[@darkbasic86]

$80 worth of gyoza, that would be the order of the century

[@1darknickguuurrrr]

I just the order for the night you jerkoff

[@Herrie199]

I am not a foodlover at all but i really want to try real japanese beef curry since i started watching your video's 😂

[@s1nb4d59]

Like your videos that cabin you stayed in looked like a prison cell tho ,the ship was very clean.

[@cathycarroll3788]

Where I am from skillet pizza would called a fish tostada. The crispy part would be a bowl made of fried tortilla. The contents would usually be some type of salad. You would break off pieces of the bowl and use to dip out bites of the salad.

[@Kahlan2111]

My Father was a Merchant Marine. He told me ships are always referred to as "She". I appreciate you use the correct word.

[@cirian75]

6:19 3rd item down left side, curry? 8:27 yes it is :) 11:22 Ladies and gentlemen, we have curry !

[@gnomespace]

One note from sailors of yore a hammock rocks with the seas, so you stay mostly level hanging from the ropes. If it gets rough it's tough, but generally that's not it was. I used to sling up a hammock on Dad's fishing boat now and then. And that was something more like a taco salad than anything resembling a pizza.

[@xvilemx]

That's not a pizza. That's a tostada. It's ususally a fried or toasted flour tortilla. Looked like they just put that one on the skillet until it was really hard. 😂

[@hfbdbsijenbd]

That "skillet pizza" was a travesty.

[@noreenhewson6933]

Whooo, that glimpse into the darkened kid’s playroom gave me seriously creepy “back rooms” vibes. 🙈

[@richardschindler8822]

I think you should have stayed with the 22 orders to see how many you could eat. Just them. Nothing else. That so called pizza didn’t look like any pizza I’ve ever eaten, as long as it was good. Love watching your videos. Thanks !!

[@GeoffSeeley]

Curry and ice cream.... You always seem to find it! 🤣

[@scottgordon1781]

Hmm lemon should be gently squeezed !

[@Gonefishing6572]

To call that a Chicago pizza is all most an insult 😒. Maybe you should come to Chicago and try all the wonderful 👏 😀 foods Chicago has to offer 😋 . But come in the summer when the weather is not so windy 😊👌👍👍👍

[@enjay2380]

It’s not a Solo Travel Japan video until you see a !! food reaction.

[@ZeroCrystal]

11:03 "I'm still hungry." 2 seconds later "I'm Just Looking." 6 Seconds after that, "Regular Size" followed by "It's small, so it doesn't count." Man, if you're looking for some Japanese Curry action, you don't need to explain it to us. I think all of us would be in for a curry, especially after a good beer. That just goes together.

[@germexiko3200]

16:42 Didn't the molecular carpet pattern make you nervous? 😅

[@debbiecurtis4021]

At 20 minutes that weird pizza looks like hardtack.

[@chrisolsen5280]

It looked awful LOL No one has said it yet so I will! 😉

[@debbiecurtis4021]

You are correct. I like the little white fish, but the skillet pizza is a crime against humanity. The rest of the food looked good.​@chrisolsen5280

[@BR-bj3ot]

I’m moving to Japan!

[@Albert24B]

Yesssss!

[@francescaAsterisco]

Pizza?😂 Hi from Naples(Italy)😊😉
