Special Self Heating Train Bento in Japan

[@fredfry5100]

For those who aren't familiar with some aspects of Japanese culture. Vocaloid is actually a voice synthesizing software, with twin tails on the cover just being a made up idol they created to market the product. Chanko, the box with the Sumo Wrestler on it, is short for Chankonabe (sumo stew). It's the stew fed to sumo wrestlers (along with a whole bunch of rice) to make them so big and strong.

[@JasonB808]

I think most people who watches videos about vloggers eatjng self eating bentos on a Shinkansen would know who Hatsune Miku is.

[@lapis8183]

Miku is a type of vocaloid, one singer from the selection, every singer has it's own avatars but Miku is the most popular and was one of the first to be created, she's not really a made up idol anymore, since she actually became a virtual idol holding actual concerts and stuff, not just a face

[@LindaKruegel]

So is Mitsu a vocaloid? I wasn’t sure based on the post and comments.

[@lapis8183]

@@LindaKruegel yes, she is a vocaloid, she was a vocaloid first, and then also became an idol

[@Coneylittlebugger]

Yeah

[@400KrispyKremes]

These all look great. It's cool how they are setup with that string now so they really are self heating without taking it apart first.

[@FlnkR]

the fact things like these boxes arent available everywhere as a convince alone is sad, these look so good, fair priced, and TONS of food and self heating! couldnt get better

[@eatlikealocal]

🍱 There is an Aluminum foil pouch contained inside the Ekiben, under the food compartment. Pulling the activation string removes a separation strip that enables subcompartments containing Magnesium and Calcium Oxide to mix with Water inside the pouch. This starts a chemical reaction and the resulting heat transference warms up the meal. After approximately five minutes of warming, the meal is ready to be consumed. 🍱

[@P747]

Aha ok, thanks for the explanation. 😀 Everytime I see a Bacon video with these self heating boxes and pouches I wonder how long it will take before other countries start using these, and especially my country here in Sweden. They really seem to be conveinent as there are no need for fire or gas to heat a meal or drink.

[@ChalieTheFlash]

It's remind me of Yoichi anime (I ain't remember the name) 😂

[@darkmiku2483]

​@@P747 i tried self heating foods like these but it feels like something is missing when compared to food cooked from fire or electrical heat. It is just not as good.

[@nothonest604]

A lot like the FRH in american MREs

[@MrYfrank14]

Since American armed forces combat rations and civilian camping food uses the same technology, except you have to manually add water to the heat pouch, im surprised the US does not offer these meals like we see in this video.

[@ihzamahendra926]

Missed opportunity not having a dish with Leeks(Negi) on the Hatsune Miku train food, but thats alright.

[@S4turn-yt]

True

[@daniellxnder]

Should've been Kake Soba

[@MegatonDan]

Another great video, TY DancingBacons. Do other passengers care if you eat hot meals on the train? Also I would love you to do a video taking one of these boxes apart so we can see how the string mechanism works!

[@DancingBacons]

Taking the box apart sounds like a great idea! I would think these hot meals do bother some passengers who are easy irritable cause it does emit some smells compared to normal cold bento which are quite odorless

[@JadenYukifan28]

​@@DancingBaconsI'd rather eat a hot Bento than a cold one.

[@DevilbunnyinTx]

@@DancingBacons Im betting that oyster one really stunk up that train car! 😂🦨

I am so impressed by your metabolism 🍚 🍙 🍱 ♥️

[@williamwhite2113]

The beef and chicken bentos would be my first choice. Both look really good.

[@zb6621]

Ty for enjoying food I'll probably never get to try. Looks amazing

[@toonlinks3555]

I think the train bento videos are my favorite, theyre just so neat.

[@j1i688]

The string mechanism on the bentos are super cool!!!

[@staygabby]

I really enjoy your videos! cant wait to go to Japan!

[@peewee2025]

Dancing Bacons has set a new record in under 30 minutes everyone is searching for the limited edition Hatsune Miku beef tongue bento.

[@juliusrule6216]

Is it really rare?

[@Paulxl]

Ekiben. That's an ekiben.

[@Alex.Shevchuk]

Very nice and relaxing video.I also liked the train noises and jingle (that probably?) plays before an announcement.

[@mistiewaters2185]

These meals are always so amazing and affordable! Thanks for sharing❤

[@1973Washu]

Japanese food is very good at matching what is pictured on the packet with what is actually inside the packet.

[@reeses_unicorn]

Truly amazing, the kinds of foods you can heat up with just the pull of a string. That beef tongue meal really does look just like something you'd find in a restaurant!

[@chickenfishdog]

the art on the miku bento is so pretty!

[@Orange-foryou]

You videos always make me relaxed and so satisfaying ❤

[@tatinh9885]

There is a manga literally named "Ekiben Hitoritabi" featuring railway bento across Japan.

[@renae9365]

I love those grey hi top sneakers Miss Bacon has on!!! Super cute!

[@AmbientWalking]

Thank you for sharing your journeys with everyone on KZbin! Really appreciate your point of view on things.

[@bleu_ace1200]

Watching these videos always make me so hungry, I'm glad I prepared a breakfast of homemade riceballs for this.

[@garryferrington811]

Interesting to note that there are potential health issues involving using these in indoor spaces.

[@samhenwood5746]

Those Bento boxes looked delicious 🍱😋Thanks DancingBacons 🕺🥓

[@crimsonstorm34]

If I visited Japan, I'd be trying all that stuff.

[@michaellee2731]

I would love to see more street food videos. I love your street food videos, and taste test.

[@Voided_Arrow748]

Wow those actually looks so delicious

[@Fishpasta4]

That Sumo one looks absolutely delicious.

[@divadoc07]

I love that you bring your own little branded timer

[@jo7449]

Another great video. Thank you. Every meal looked yummy 😋😋

[@noorzia8614]

Love this Japan series....

[@-Unguardian-]

Excellent video, Dancing bacons. Ever thought of doing a top ten ramen food with location in future video? Your videos are key to knowing what's worth trying and what to pass on.

[@Bigbluecollector316]

Another great video 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿showing love from Louisiana USA

[@mikuumelody]

hatsune miku bento. genuinely this looks good tho! thanks for these videos

[@markkasper7281]

One of your best videos. nice content

[@Ovi]

Miku!! 🥰

[@darknessblades]

Those bentos look amazing, It also looks like quite the good price for what you get

[@leila13dnd]

I wish they would sell these overseas. This would be the perfect lunch at work!

[@kaizoabadeer7159]

man i love watching these videos when im high asf

[@terraaustralia]

Love your videos! Thanks you.

[@jeffreyh1778]

That Oyster Bento looks absolutely amazing! I love oysters so much and I eat that type of meal often. Oysters and rice are a great meal.

[@scottshep8978]

Everything looks great. Reasonable priced with a good amount of food.

[@Tomy_Yon]

Bringing the Asian culture to an Indian living in Belgium... It does make a difference. ❤

[@mike6697]

Theses videos always make me hungry 😊

[@Pluvillion]

I lived long enough to see Hatsune Miku in DancingBacons’ channel!

[@HawaiiFoodAndFun]

Train Bentos looks great! Thank you for sharing as always. (I don't think America is ready to see a smoking box on a public train though) DancingBacons, you inspired me to make my own Hawaii based food channel! (You consistently post great info and prices and not many channels do that!) I only have 800 subs, so I'm trying to work harder and harder to earn those subscribers. But the process is enjoyable and my only regret at the moment is I wish I had more time to make more videos. (Still work a 40 hr week and got littles to look afterwards) I also am saving money for a good camera and computer so I can make better quality videos.

[@yogawahyu56]

when i see Hatsune miku bento, i thought gonna have lot of green onion😂

[@MaskedRiderChris]

How cool is this? Next time I go to Japan, there will definitely be ekiben stops in my future, should I take the Shinkansen.

[@catsandfriends5918]

They looked really good. If i were a passenger, I'd sure want one at my next stop.

[@jenniferk4336]

What an interesting concept!

[@ibuurann929]

It's cute you brought a timer with you.

There really needs to be more food items based on popular celebrities and cartoon characters.

[@soumendash3911]

Hey nice one, i wonder how do you shoot alone is that go pro on chest mount or head or non of these??

[@greenbroccolistudios1275]

Hatsune miku in the thumbnail :D 0:00

[@kahnadah]

Thanks for another great video! :)

[@ravennyx3000]

To bad here in America we dont have nice food like this for trips

[@shannondore]

Beef tongue is such a underrated cut of meat. It's so good and it's a shame that you can't find very many places here in the U.S. that have it. With the exception of a few taco food trucks, restaurants just don't have it on the menu. 🙁

[@JakeStevyson]

beef tongue is often in Asian grocery yet hard to find

[@TheOtherBill]

It's not uncommon as a cold deli meat. I've had it, it's not bad but seemed a little greasy to me.

[@shannondore]

@@TheOtherBill We had a great restaurant here called Max's Deli that had beef tongue sandwiches on the menu and they were good, but sadly it closed down.

[@daddypascal]

I've tried it only once because i've not been able to find where I live. I had it as a barbecue skewer very thinly sliced and tender I also tried chicken heart skewers. Both the beef tongue and the chicken heart were actually very tasty. The beef tongue is tender and doesn't have a strong beef taste. The chicken hearts don't actually taste like chicken at all they tasted more like a red meat like beef to me and they were also tender not chewy at all and i had expected it to perhaps have a weird snap when biting into it but they didn't, the texture is not like chicken meat but more like a tender cut of beef combined with the texture of a meat pate. I have never seen chicken heart or beef tongue at grocery stores where i live and i think people ought to give it a try. Some organ meat can be delicious if prepared correctly and it is also cheap to buy because often it is very overlooked and seen only as scrap for making stocks or dog food.

[@shannondore]

@@daddypascal Oh! Chicken hearts is another favorite. When my mom would make soup or chicken and dumplings she would buy a whole chicken and boil it with the giblets to make her own stock. She always gave me the heart and it was so good.

[@richardbriansmith8562]

Awesome video 🙂

vish I could visit ❤

[@dangerduo9179]

One word....yum

You can watch the box and timer dance around the tray. Very entertaining in time lapse. The food looks amazing.

[@ankebosing1968]

These self heating meals are so neat! Are there any vegetarian ekiben available?

[@Kyouno]

Hopefully you keep the limited edition Miku bento box box, I’m sure it will be worth something eventually, especially when there are collectors that is willing to buy it for some good value

[@abigail9063]

I am so hungry but hate cooking… these would be a godsend

[@jessylei]

That’s would be nice to have here in the states for people that want hot tasty meals in mins ❤️

[@farihasiddiqui]

And now we have THE TRAIN!

[@thebobbleheaddiaries6921]

My luck the string would break and I’d be eating cold beef tongue! Western culture needs to get on the bento boxes. Such fun!
