[@adskn]

Another lunch. The sacrifices you make for us.

He believes in a balanced diet. Lunch - Dessert - Lunch. Dinner - Dessert - Dinner. Though perhaps that's more a symmetrical diet than a balanced one....

[@needlearcher4806]

did anyone else thoroughly enjoy that sound of the crunch he left in for the tonkatsu? omg, that was a heavenly sound!

[@hhoh8146]

"leaf, green, more green, ... shrunken shrimp" :D You are hilarious! Thank you for the video

[@flu77erluv]

"Shrunken shrimp," and "another leaf." 😄😆 😂 Awesome!!

[@Excitable67]

Glad to see you ate your whole salad! So proud of you! 😉😁

[@jojonoir]

That's my kind of salad, with bacon, shrimp and fried chicken and potatoes 🤣

[@davidkfreeman6107]

I commend you on your ability to eat. Good SHow. first, I'm out of rice, then, I'''ve already eaten a lot today. folloowed by... Big bowl of rice. hahaha.

[@gene2024]

Also known in the US as French Onion Soup. Yes, absolutely delicious. I tried to make it once, and it took hours to finish the recipe. I always appreciate the effort that goes into every bowl of this soup.

[@flu77erluv]

French onion differs in the cheese type and how the bread is used. It's actually a pretty simple soup (French Onion) to make and yes: super yummy!

[@mizmisery44]

French Onion Soup is my favorite! I found a really good recipe where it's made in a slow cooker, and the onions turn out so tender that they literally melt in your mouth. Takes about 4 hours to make but worth it!

[@RipleysSanatorium]

@@mizmisery44 I need to try that! Thanks!👍🏼

[@thepreppingnethinim1254]

In France it’s just called onion soup

[@msr1116]

My slow cooker has turned out some of the best dishes in recent memory. I cooked cubed potatoes this afternoon in olive oil, a little butter and seasonings that were just wonderful. The slow, gentle, moist all over heat really benefits most foods.

[@lolothesilly]

you're living the dream, going around eating a bunch of good stuff 🥺

[@endangeredmarmot4518]

A food tour - yes! This will make a good suggested itinerary for a trip :)

[@y-mefarm4249]

I would have been happy with just a big bowl of that onion soup and the garlic bread.

[@Nancy-cf4oq]

“Shrunken shrimp” 🍤🤣🤣

[@ibeam23]

Glad to see you haven’t forgotten about this channel!!! I was surprised to see you order a salad!!

[@Trebuchet48]

Well, that would be a salad with bacon, egg, avocado*, cheese, and some deep-fried chicken. And lovely onion soup, for which I am now hungry. *Avocado is about the fattiest "fruit" there is!

[@marenm9392]

食べものが多すぎます 😂

[@lolothesilly]

@@Trebuchet48 well, avocado has a lot of good fats, so it's okay xD

[@areareare9953]

He did that to throw you off the scent. There was a bowl of curry under that.

[@laurieleonard8209]

❤Lol Avocado my favorite definitely a vegetable ❤️

[@susansprouse1694]

Onion soup is my favorite. Your lunch looks yummy.

[@dryroasted5599]

I thought it was funny that you ordered salad. I remember in one of your travel videos, there was a bit of salad on your plate, and when you looked at it, you just said "Leaf."😁 Interesting that the salad included karage chicken and potato. Onion soup looked good though. Americans would have wanted three times as much dressing.

[@melissalambert7615]

I ordered salad, showing sad glass of plain water. Then salad has egg, bacon, fried chicken, shrimp. Soup with bread and cheese. Guess it's better than fried food... Love it!

[@BandFairy]

Yes! I've always been interested in what kind of chain restaurants are in other countries besides American food. I'd love to see a part two of this some time.

[@raquelmoore2084]

The food looks delicious that I am pleased you have shared with everyone, Solo-san.

[@liampiper9357]

First Viewer. Got to love a good food tour. :)

[@gloriawatson]

Wonderful food tour. Everything looked delicious . . .except for the soup and salad . . . it was phenomenal. Will definitely see you in the next one. Take care, stay safe.

[@jeanninenelson1929]

Always love your food choices. Another Great video 🙂

[@joek.7819]

Wow! The rice at Tonkatsu Wako looked Perfect! Good Rice × Tasty Dish = Excellent Meal🍚🥢🍗

[@annetteleggett9854]

The food looked amazing! I am so glad to see food that’s worth two exclamation points from you! Can’t wait to see what the next place has!

[@sinjinmonsoon9055]

Just wow. The food looked so delicious. The salad looked so tasty. Lucky you.

[@sharonleong7120]

Great video as always. I like it too. 👍👍👍😍😍😍

[@AnaSolVa]

Aaand, now I'm hungry again. And craving onion soup

[@Waywren]

Those all look amazing! I actually gasped in surprise at the first crunch of tonkatsu. Beautiful.

[@larkmacgregor3143]

Everything looked so delicious, but the tonkatsu made my mouth water! Outstanding and wish I could have joined you 🙂.

[@andytsui3133]

Thank you Solo Travel Japan, such beautiful Tokyo station👍

[@quinnhouk5369]

That looks awesome

[@Chang_molin]

Woww its food tour series now!! Im camping heree >.

[@shirokumakogyo]

Toyama!! You must visit Shin-minato in Imizu, along the Uchikawa River! 🙂

[@kyrastuart1920]

I always like to see !! because it means you are enjoying your meal. Today, everything looked absolutely delicious. I may make tonkatsu tomorrow because this looked wonderful , but your salad meal really appeals to me.

[@ricksipes2026]

I want you as my food guide the next time I come to Japan. Even the salad looked delicious.

[@erinjensen8239]

It all looked so good!! Thank you for sharing.

[@chellastation]

That satisfying crunch from that pork was perfect 😋

[@Luna-de_azule]

Thank you this is so interesting... I am looking forward to the rest of the food tour !!! Solo videos always make my day the best.👌☺

[@MayimHastings]

Okay, i HAVE to figure out how to cook these! 🤤🤤🤤!!! Thank you for another awesome one! 💖

[@HorWangZaaa]

We have Ootoya in Thailand, and they offer refill rice so you don't have to think if you want large or small rice.

[@AurenGlytterkat]

Bro I was ALREADY hungry… 😩 This video - everything looks sooo good 🤤

[@maaikees]

I’m going back to Japan soon and I can’t wait to eat the food again! High quality and affordable. I looooooove Ootoya 😊

[@thomaswhitten2537]

I do so very much love these food tours!

[@wilflambo8102]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@amputeeright]

Everything looks so good. It is unusual to see salad on your plate, but it did look tasty. The tonkatsu made me hungry again- now, I need a snack. 😁

[@Snowkitty1424]

That first dish of simmering chicken looked so good I added it to my bucket list. I took a pic of it too.... shhh keeps sake 🤫😁Thank you so much for a amazing find! Really looking forward to one day trying it 😍🥰

[@maachanpoku3873]

I always order Chicken kaasan ni at Ootoya and Mix grill at Royal Host so you have similar taste as mine! Though of course I can’t eat that much in a day :) For Tonkatsu at Wako I always order oroshi ponzu sauce (minced radish) it’s very nice

[@lordaryan8287]

I like this kind of videos Upload more please I'll surely watch Thanks

[@Sydorrah]

That katsu looked mouth watering

[@ceciliamui3607]

Thanks!

[@STJfoodtour]

Thanks for the super thanks!

[@Onceforsaken]

Wow looking forward to try them they all looked amazing!

[@Chris_Eatz]

I love your channel 😊

[@jeremyforino2933]

Since this is more than one part, I will wait until the end to see if you go to one specific place that is a chain. We went there more times than we should have, LOL

[@Jesslath]

i miss royal host! hopefully i can go when i go to japan for a holiday in april!😏

[@marizaanvisagie9537]

Hi my fav you should have skipped the salad and got 2 katsu lol. Love the video

[@slkriderchick]

LOL!! Considering your salad had fried chicken, a strip of bacon , garlic toast and french onion soup in it, I question the healthiness of that salad dish for lunch. I think a dietician would faint in horror at the sight of this salad set. That crunch from the fried pork cutlet was amazing!! If there's one thing about the Japanese, they KNOW how to fry foods and keep them that way until it gets to your table.

[@flu77erluv]

Lol! Agreed. Especially since salad dressing can have more calories than an entire meal. Unless you're eating just the leaves with no seasoning, it's difficult to cut the calories. 🏵🌼

[@educanassa100]

Delicious food

[@lannifincoris6482]

Thank you for the good work you do for us! Two channels and both are entertaining. Domo arigato goizaimas! A question, I am nit able to eat avocado, really, you don't want to be near me after I might ate it. How do I say, that I am allergic to avocado?

[@catherine59226]

Yummy! ❤️👍🏻

[@dresk7958]

Gorgeously succulent looking tonkatsu 🤎

[@terrinaweb4189]

Delicious 🤤

[@kellyj.azania4371]

I love these meal videos the most. How much time truly passes between meals, though? Or, is that a state secret? 🍱🍚🍤

[@gloriamoore3208]

Thank you for your excellent video. On the last meal, you ran into a problem that I often run into. the meal is larger than my stomach. It's normal in Madison Heights, Michigan, USA to ask for a box or container, so the rest of the meal can be finished later at home. In my purse, I carry Ziplock (quart or gallon) plastic bags. At certain meetings the meals are served on disposable plates with plasticware. When I can't finish my meal, I put it in a Ziplock gallon plastic bag. It fits perfectly. If the restaurant has carry-outs, then they should have containers available. Thank you for your video. The food looks & sounds delicious. Your video provides a listing of where to go to eat!

[@BelloBudo007]

Thank you for the food tour around Tokyo Station. On my next Japan visit I would like to go to that side of the station for a good look around. Question please. Did you eat all that food in one day or was it spread over a couple of days? Mind you, it certainly did look delicious. Really high quality.

[@markiangooley]

Slices of lotus root. It’s not too popular here in the USA but I do see it in some Asian cooking.

[@DailyPassenger]

Very nice and informative footage 🤘Tokyo has changed a lot since my last visit🔥🔥Everything looks so nice and well maintained now....New fan from Bangalore 😍😍

[@Sandra-A]

Dish 1: that looks ever so tasty and definitely simmering hot. What was the round thing with holes in it? Like the music in that restaurant Coffee jelly … to die for Dish 2: onion soup on a honeymoon!? 😯 poor husband 😄 Dish 3: oh that batter was super crunchy Thanks for taking us along

[@Sandra-A]

@ObsoleteVodkaYT thank you 🙏 I never knew part of the beautiful lotus plant was edible.

[@katrinavirtusio8473]

I ate at Tonkatsu Wako on Sunday! I think I ordered the same dish; the tonkatsu was tasty! PS There’s also an English menu. PPS A word about location. It’s in an underground shopping/dining arcade and the restaurant is approximately located underneath the Bell of Peace installation (which is street level).

[@kofxeno1657]

I read Superman vs Meshi he eating lunch with Batman, he ate this similar cutlet with rice although I’m not sure it’s pork or chicken... That makes me wanna try it.

[@tokendiva]

I love watching your videos. Thank you

[@chah9916]

Another! lunch

[@ediapaff8858]

I don't eat meat anymore, but feom oast experience, tonkatsu wako comes highly recommend. it is super nice

[@Maugis]

Leaf ^^

[@asuranrocks]

this is why i can never 'discover' new restaurants....the chains satisfy me to much!!! coffee wa yappari komeda!

[@msr1116]

The one restaurant took ingredients from Cobb and Nicoise salads and combined them into a customized version like I'd compose at a salad bar. It would have made for a lovely summer evening meal along with a glass of chilled rose' wine on a patio.....while gazing at the setting sun between bites. How's that for creating a mood?

[@mahartma]

That salad :O

[@susansprouse1694]

Three excellent meals! But no curry. :-(

[@victorinosparkajen9405]

I like to eat either miso butterfish or shioyaki saba

[@alessandroserrao9422]

Could you make please a playlist of all your videos?

[@restaurantman]

👍👍👍

[@forestutube1]

wow

[@sekhmetsaes]

Oh that soup looked AMAZING. Here in the US, a "soup and salad" set is a popular lunch that I like to have whenever my supervisor and I have a business lunch. Like a teishoku it comes with the main dish salad, side soup and bread or crackers. It can also be a main dish soup and a small salad! The pork also looked amazing, and I am glad you enjoyed the first dish, though I don't eat chicken. Great video!

[@hamdinger7145]

I hope there is Curry rice

[@TheViet75]

Food price are very reasonable. if I live there I could eat out every day.

[@lizhaydon2250]

Your salad has bacon so it's extra good😊

[@princessfiona1394]

5:55 - Saiki K would like to know your location...........

[@theroyalfamily17M]

😊😊

[@JudeMartin-z9l]

Is it possible for you to do an Isakaya night in Tokyo? Or not practical to film?

[@WooWoo-co4jf]

Being an adult has its' perks, you want breakfast followed by dessert before lunch? No problem, you want to watch KZbin while eating rice cakes? Go for it, ok, the last part is me

[@samsanimationcorner3820]

I see lotus root a lot in Japanese cooking, but it always scares me a little from the look of it. What is it like?

[@restaurantman]

Lotus root is a starchy tuber. When cooked, it has a texture that is similar to a firm, boiled potato. The taste is mildly sweet, resembling water chestnuts.

[@sheilaathay2034]

💖

[@kimchi8022]

Leaf omg

[@Abunai_Gaming]

I'm curious. Is serving tonkatsu with the hot mustard a new trend? Or has it been going for a while? I've been to Wako once on vacation and saw that. Before that I went to a wako-style place around home and they did the same thing. I don't ever remember that being a thing, how long has this been done for?

[@restaurantman]

It has been a long standing practice to serve Karashi (hot mustard) with Tonkatsu.

[@MrDonkeyKIng77]

Loved the video, but the lack of curry saddens me

[@vanadee1618]

TONKATSU OISHII

[@cristovaosoares8772]

Leave that fat from tonkatsu aside and it's perfect, holy cheese, it's painful not being able to eat that. Thank u for the video as always! Greetings from Brazil.

[@JauneMacReady]

Brilliant! Another subscribe from me, to you 😃👍❤️

[@staceytroffer8287]

“They have amazing rice” Yeah, you mentioned that, lol
