[@Natsukioku]

Well I know why others are looking so weirdly at him. It's because he's eating while walking and in Japan, you don't eat or drink while walking. Well there are some specific areas mentioned where you can eat and drink while walking but not all the places XD. It's just a bad manner for us Japanese. NO HATE THO! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

[@rachelbaziak4159]

Natsuki its a big no no in Japan

[@litaraduodox5799]

what? im not japanese but some family members are and its p much always okay to eat while walking in crowded places, otherwise you mess with the trafic of the area. its actually recommended to eat while walking in places like tsukiji fish market and other food places because 1- the smell of food is already everywhere and 2- you dont wanna be a bother to people on the move

[@AGM12796]

jasmine It'll be smart for him if he stayed on KZbin, TV is already dying.

[@larifari12oder3]

AGM actually TV channels have Internet channels which are viewed a lot. youtube isnt that big as you think

[@TheWoWGrind]

KZbin is like one of the most viewed websites daily online, and content creators on here can make 6 figure salaries or more if they are popular enough. Building a huge youtube audience is great.

[@peter7811]

Unlike many professional produces shows they aren´t very authentic. especially those with high amounts of subscribers becomes too professional....

[@ocd1685]

AGM I agree, TV is dying and KZbin has way more viewers. Everyone is streaming now.

[@stvsueoka1]

The pop-culture references this episode were on fire!

[@KinaestheticDmaw]

All that and you missed that one stand that was selling all of those fried vegetables and breads. That place had an utterly spectacular curry/potato/green onion fried bread that I can actually say was one of the single best things I've ever eaten in Japan. And I've had the pleasure of eating a lot of good, high-end restaurants over there.

[@Aria.Sterling]

KinaestheticDmaw do u have the name of the shop?

[@smnx127]

I enjoyed this so much. Love how you added extra photos/scenes/flashbacks when you're referring back to what you're eating or what you're talking about in general

[@sandralumsden254]

I've been here! A friend and I took a trip all over Japan when we were younger - our ryokan was a few blocks away from this market. I'm having all kinds of awesome flashbacks watching!

[@user-gl2eg6cq4s]

Idk why, but watching him eat is *so satisfying.* Especially watching him a bite things and facially express how good it is

[@RizselBering]

Does he travel alone? I wonder who films him when he eats 🤔

[@mehdan2]

probably himself or he ask strangers/store employees

[@iKerewin]

missbering I was going to ask if he travels alone too. When he went to Taiwan, I believe, and went to that buffet place you could see the girl he was with. But in these Japan videos it seems he's alone

[@RizselBering]

mehdan2 Hmm I didn't think he would be the type to ask strangers.

[@RizselBering]

iKerewin it's so weird thought because on some shots he looks alone but on others it doesn't look as if the camera is on a tripod either haha

[@srs26714]

I am going to Japan in April! Still piecing together my itinerary. Should I plan to spend more time in Osaka or Kyoto? Already spending plenty of time in Tokyo!

[@juandenz2008]

Well it depends how long you have in total. For tourists on their first time to Japan I would recommend spending more time in Kyoto as it has a lot of nice temples and gardens and isn't as busy or built up as Osaka. Osaka has a lot of good stuff, but it is a city based on commerce and manufacturing. Kyoto is more oriented around culture and tourism IMO. Keep in mind that Kyoto and Osaka are very close, so I would just book into accommodation in Kyoto, and then if you feel like going to Osaka just take the 30 minute train ride. This is just my opinion though, other people might disagree.

[@cecilleperez1064]

srs26714 Osaka is a great place

[@musicalli1324]

just visited this market last month, brings back lots of memories. The sashimi stall is really worth the value, seafood really fresh! spent about 20 minutes eating, could not stop!

[@dostagirl9551]

I know that when I started cooking Japanese meals, I was really surprised at how sweet so many of the dishes were. Even the ubiquitous seasoning stock that is used for everything from udon to dipping sauces is made with dashi, mirin, sake and sugar. Just never expected it.

[@annainspain5176]

Yeah, salty/sweet is a basic combination of flavours in Japanese food. You get used to it.

[@MsCherade9]

Sandy Prater What's interesting is their historically low issues with obesity, diabetes etc. It's not about the sugar you eat, but a/ getting enough exercise for your body (which varies from person to person) which easily includes comfortable paced walking and daily callasthenics, b/ eating only good quality natural fats rather than hydrogenated vegetable fats and poor quality animal fats and c/ eating as wide a variety of fruits, veg, meat, fats, dairy, starches, cereals etc as you can.

[@annainspain5176]

MsCherade9 And of course genetics. Asian metabolism has been tested and proven to run "faster" than their Western counterparts. It's so different that the data from Western clinical trials of medications are useless in Asia.

[@DasOmen02]

How much did the personalized chopsticks cost, if you don't mind me asking? I really want a pair if I'm ever in Kyoto haha

[@lonestar4454]

DasOmen02 The engraving itself doesnt cost that much. The price really depends on the type of chopsticks you choose to engrave. I got mine in kyoto for around 100. But remember a couple my friends by and engraving it for less.

[@DasOmen02]

Nice! And I'm assuming you're referring to dollars or pounds?

[@lonestar4454]

Yeah i dollars lol. I think in yen i spent around 11000 yen or something like. Oh i miss japan lol.

was only $10 and the engraving was free :-)
