BEST Traditional Japanese All You Can Eat BREAKFAST BUFFET?!

[@minidinocannon4598]

I love it when there's something you don't like you are honest but nice. You are never mean to any food

[@Chimchim-h8m]

Violet Wong Your comment made me smile!!! True he's not mean to food! ☺🤗

[@retardedmulan7609]

Violet Wong get a man or woman to treat you like mike treats his food

[@xvisionk]

Violet Wong except broccoli

[@jaehaspels9607]

He's pretty mean to broccoli.

[@julieroberts9823]

True! He’s always like “it’s not for me” instead of “that’s disgusting”. Love it haha.

[@oot999]

wish these Japan food videos would never end!

[@ohdaUtube]

MasterOot there's a ton of variation and regional specialties throughout the entire island for these never to end. This is in stark contrast to what they used to say about how one note Korean and Japanese food were compared to Chinese food. used to cringe at that but better late than never!

[@jamesson_heinicken]

i agree traditional japanese Food is the best in the world in my opinion. The only Thing i dont like is that they kinda implemented French cuisine into theirs. Without that French stuff it would be way better

[@1980Triumph]

I am glad he didn't like everything on the menu, I hate food reviewers who just seem to LOVE everything they eat, so boring and unrealistic.

[@Jellyman3]

Lol right??

[@douwedetmar6927]

1980Triumph they usually get sponsored and paid to eat there and give a good review

[@Crosshill]

on the other hand, how he just seems to genuinely enjoy almost everything kinda makes me happy as well

[@Ghost-Mom]

Ive watched a few channels where people eat/taste test various foods but, there is something about Mike that really makes it a joy to watch. The expressions with each bite are great, also he's not afraid to say when he doesn't like something, and he describes the experiences well. I love this channel.

[@SnMagnifique]

Mike, you should make a series on different All you can Eat buffets around the world! 😋 I can't wait to try some of these that you already have featured! So excited!

[@strictlydumpling]

working on it :-)

you are living my dream. traveling the world and trying different food. God bless you!

[@hunniyahassan1783]

hi

[@carolshuturan3071]

Japanese hotel's know how to do a breakfast buffet. When my husband and I where at Ana hotel in Tokyo, we ate a type of salmon that I still dream about.

[@kaizoebara]

That runny egg is called onsen-tamago (literally "hot spring egg"). It is 'cooked' at a pretty low temperature for a really long time; between 30min and 1h at around 60°~70°C.

[@FirstLast-lk3dq]

It's more like cooling it down than cooking.

[@mayam7608]

First Last 60-70 degrees C is around 140-158 degrees F. You must be getting them mixed up. It is defiantly heating the egg. 😊

[@ndb_1982]

It literally is not 😂 20 minutes maximum.

[@Raaawwwrness]

I'm lying in bed, about to go to sleep and you're making me so freaking hungry -_-

[@moonbeaming]

It's in my bucket list for you to be my tour guide in your next travel. it seems I would probably have more fun. Plus I appreciate the bits of cool info you give randomly! Subscribed!

[@1jenniferlala]

I just love how honest and real you are, while so pleasant and positive. Everything you do and talk about is so legit, so I can trust that a review you give is not just sugarcoated to please (as in every video showcases only what's good, and there is a ton of editing to bring out only the best) but the real thing...I went here, I tried that, it wasn't what I thought, but this was really good, etc. That's why I subscribe to you and support. Do it, Mickey!

[@HappySnoutHour]

That tea you were drinking is called Citron which is huge in Japan.

[@juandenz2008]

The katakana says shi-to-ron I think, is it tea made from the citron fruit ? Searching online suggests it might actually be made from a different fruit, Yuzu, but is still called citron.

[@HappySnoutHour]

Yes, Just because something is written in katakana doesn't necessary mean that's how it is said or spelled in English. For example utopia in Katakana is spelled ryu-to-pi-a. To answer your second question it is a citrus fruit which is added to tea, desserts, etc. (much like how lemon is added to tea in the US) which is why it is really refreshing. I've never tried it but from what all my Japanese friends have told me it is very popular and delicious.

[@juandenz2008]

Thanks for the information, yes I know about katakana and how it doesn't always correspond to English, I was just adding that for information purposes !! I hope to try some of that tea some day, is it the same as what Korean's call yujacha ?

[@Hwyadylaw]

リュトピア？

[@Iennaish]

Citron means lemon in French😏

[@Hitman6354]

Found your videos about a month ago randomly and quickly got hooked in. That NY Char Siu restaurant is now on my bucket list. Good job and keep them coming brother!

[@bobbiusshadow6985]

true, that NY Char Siu looks bomb

[@phone7x7]

Hey I have a question for you. How did you get the courage to vlog by yourself in public? I have only done one food video so far and want to do more but it's nerve racking vloging at a restaurant.

[@Hitman6354]

Practice at home first to get more comfortable just speaking about what you are eating, then go for it. If you have passion about what you are doing, then everything else will just become "white noise" don't pay it any of your attention.

[@gummydogs]

He's not alone here though

[@jorin15]

phone7x7 get thin

[@fatdoi003]

tune out from your surroundings and 100% focus to the camera like speaking to best friend of yours who need every detail of what you're doing....

[@kawaiiafangirl]

Just try be mindful of those around you, though. No one was featured in this particular video but some people are uncomfortable being filmed, even if they're just in the background.

[@brandonrichard9568]

Your glowing enthusiasm for food makes all your videos wonderful.

[@juliegoodwin6850]

I'm with you Mike, can't stand traditional American breakfast! When i travel (especially Asia) breakfast is usually my favorite! Thanks for the video!

Can I just say what a great mood you put me in when I watch your videos? :D I'm always grinning throughout. You're so adorable and I love your positive outlooks on the environment around you. Thank you for all your videos and letting me visit Japan vicariously through you!

[@dmacanada]

Japanese and Chinese foods are so elegant and refined. ❤

[@dindonpoo163]

DAMN $20?! With that amount of food, it would cost $40 over here! You might as well call it lunch if there's so much food 😅. Gotta love Japan and their food.

[@nigelmulliniz4021]

DindonPoo well it's all u can eat

[@dindonpoo163]

+Panic! At The Fall Out Pity Party It's just overwhelming that they'd add in cakes and desserts for a breakfast buffet. But you have a point, it is a buffet after all. No way can you stop yourself from eating that much.

[@ohdaUtube]

DindonPoo the other thing is, the avg Japanese person's portion size is not very large. That's why the price seems lower. Mike is basically overeating by a lot by Japanese standards. =) but that's a big part as to why they live so long

[@invertbrid]

ohdaUtube well agree, though eating buffet once in a while......seems still pretty good, maybe like once every several months

[@tarzan2441]

ohdaUtube I’m pretty sure he overeats by anyone’s standards lmao

[@fearlessfortruth]

Definitely, Yes!

[@ohdaUtube]

It's finally happened!! He used the word "balanced" and didn't ask for hot oil!!! I love that he's appreciating a wider range of food these days!! and yes, can't compare cheap instant Japanese in the states to real Japanese. things closer to real Japanese does exist in nyc you just have to avoid the really cheap knock offs. also, just because it's pricy doesn't mean it's good Japanese either as too many have tried to capitalize and bastardize it. you'd only know if you are familiar with the culture or have Japanese friends who know what they're talking about. It's like comparing a cheap instant noodle to one of the great Chinese noodle dishes.

[@HappyHealthy392]

Can you do a video on how you stay positive and your out look on life? You have such a beautiful vibe and it really makes me happy watching your videos :)

[@ngatiramona]

[@darkly4032]

Notif Squad! Great Video as always!

[@Changelingheart]

I'm watching you describe the hotel breakfast buffet from your room. I really didn't get the impression you were happy with the buffet. So nice to hear you tell us it was basically great, especially the cost!! $20 is fantastic!!! Anyway, I think what you did is point out foods to avoid and some to choose. When you showed all the items at the end we got the WHOLE picture. Certainly much to choose from and definitely showed the Japanese foods.

[@CrazyGoat991]

perfecting timing yo. I been waiting for more videos to watch in study breaks.

[@donnapavlosky5518]

[@toypocalypsenow]

I love the buffet videos man. You're always so excited!

[@Changelingheart]

I love when Mike creates his own bites to taste or improve the flavor or dryness of a food item. Like when he added various items to the sushi rice and soy base broth soup. Started with fish but then...etc!!!😎 The inner cook in him and my brother and I did this as kids too. I still do to this day!!💜

[@ndb_1982]

Mike cannot spell cook.

[@ndb_1982]

[@kylewillman923]

I love watching these videos while I eat food it makes the food i'm eating seem so much better than it is, I was eating cereal and I ate and drank everything out of it.

[@fatdadbbq74]

nicely done! I really enjoy your channel..keep up the great work! cheers from Canada.

[@millicentbrown5877]

I kinda love how Mike adds different foods to different foods like the fish to the ride and soup. Adding stuff together in a restaurant is considered rude in Japan because you're basically saying that the chef siding so a good enough job preparing the dish and you think you can make it better

[@RyanPhamFitness]

Whats better than breakfast? A european asian influenced breakfast buffet, what a time to be alive! but i still love my pancakes and waffles

[@cm3655]

RyanPhamFitness ikr?!!!

[@teacupterrier783]

Number 1 key to buffets is go with people who love to eat. If you don't they finish before you and then you're pressured to either eat quick while they sit there waiting or leave when they're done and you're still not close to full. But wow, Japanese breakfast looks amazing. That soup with rice and little bits of fish looks heavenly.

[@razvann9884]

Man just found your channel and i must say that its amazing, watching your trip to japan made me really start saving money for a trip! Keep up the good work !

The trick to great French toast is very slow cooking on low heat, covered, and then brown it at the end with lots of butter. Conversely the trick to a great French omelette is high high heat, and you cook it for only 10 seconds. Also with plenty of butter.

[@annainspain5176]

The soup looks like dashi broth...soul food! I love that in Japan, there isn't a real "breakfast food" thing like in the West with the cereal and toast thing. You can eat anything for breakfast that you'd eat for lunch or dinner. They'll even eat a tossed salad for breakfast. I wondered though if they were ready for Super Mike coming in and hoovering up everything on offer! ;)

[@morisoba2550]

I'm from Japan. Many Japanese actually eat cheese toast with coffee or cereal with milk at home in the morning. Unfortunately, many young people don't eat traditional breakfast (miso soup, vegetable, rice and fish thing) anymore. Maybe you have seen toast with boiled egg / tossed salad or sandwich which is being called " Morning Set " in cafe.

[@annainspain5176]

I love the idea of salad for breakfast. I tried it this past summer, when our temps reached 45ºC for days. So refreshing!
