Supreme Sake Train in Japan! Travel to Eat and Drink

[@alexoestreicher1092]

Your videos helped guide me to great food in Japan.

[@SoloTravelJapan]

Thanks for the super!

[@r.hill.2369]

Thank you for today's episode of "Daytime drinking with STJ San". I know I'd have quite the buzz going if I drank all that sake by noon.

[@01cthompson]

Right?

[@deanzaZZR]

My thoughts as well. You need to plan a strategic nap somewhere after the train ride and lunch.

[@vaniaeterovic]

Thinking the same. A 2 hour ride not long enough to drink all that sake and clear my head. That desert at the end looked delicious

[@rachaelk7866]

Lol bet everyone that got off at the end be drunk as farts lol I loved the lil bag in beginning with the sake cup I assume that's to take home since the drinks came in their own glasses

[@brentsutherland6385]

As long as he's not driving the train, it's all good.

[@larkmacgregor3143]

How you got off of that train under your own power, let alone got lunch and figured out what trains to take next is a wonder to me - I'd be unconscious after that much sake, even with food! All hail STJ's abundant alcohol dehydrogenase!

[@cherylsoergel9561]

And to think he video's also.

[@trinitywright7122]

I've been unconscious after the first sake

[@Alcochaser]

Best comment ever, i would be so drunk on that train.

[@dabird4019]

The toilet is not special had me laughing so hard. The fact that you were sloshed on Sake made it hilarious.🤣

[@gillianhynes7120]

I don't know how you managed to walk of that train let alone eat lunch. Yet again another brilliant video thank you for showing us all the unique experiences your country has to offer

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

Probably software stabilization of video. :D

[@Sara_Valestein]

Nothing better than watching your videos with a beer in my hand and sitting on a couch 👌👌

[@Psychol-Snooper]

Much better than with a couch in your hand, sitting on a beer!

[@helenel4126]

That's a lot of sake - especially before noon! Someone would have to carry me off the train. Thank you for "taking" us all along on your adventures.

[@gus473]

🍶 Like a "booze cruise," but on rails! Thank you, STJ! 😎✌️

[@theresaluvspims6163]

A Sake train!! What a wonderful idea. I have only had sake once... it was yummy and warm. Beautiful scenery and a "tipsy" STJ, now that is a vacation. Miso ice cream HAS to be better than onion ice cream. Thank you again for sharing such a unique experience. I hope the next video isn't you in an alcohol rehab situation.

[@pamz7531]

Thank you for taking this old lady on another interesting trip. This is just the thing I would enjoy. Eating, drinking and then going home. The scenery was beautiful. From NC, USA

[@adamdsjz]

Spoiler alert: many "!!" means that most of the meals were great :) As always great vid and I'm very jealous about this "train with food/drink" concept - You can travel across Your beautiful country in so many different but still interesting ways. Thats really awesome!

[@liampiper9357]

Of all of the places Solo Travel San could have picked to eat after drinking a lot of Sake, he picks the place that best describes how I would have felt after all of that alcohol. Perfection!

[@lind.]

Fantastic, that's my kind of adventure!! All the food looked really good and you probably needed the tempura after all that sake (mind you, I think I might have given the egg a "swerve"!!) 😂. I had a great time today, thanks for inviting me 😊

[@brentbarrett1694]

Here I am riding on the Iiyama line from Echigo-Kawaguchi to get to this train in Tokamachi. If you want to use the JR rail pass to get there it takes a few more steps. But I am able to see some parts of Japan that many tourists don’t so I’m thankful for that. And thankful to STJ to showing me so many wonderful things in Japan.

[@2007cgarza]

You took one for the team here,. thank you!

[@SFNightOwl]

Loved the vid. Surprised you could make it back to your seat with the tray intact...you had after all reached the "woo taste" level of happiness 😂. Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us!

[@gloriawatson]

Another interesting train ride. Would like to try Saki someday. The miso ice cream looked good. . . . if it tasted like salted caramel, all the better. Hope you were sober enough to enjoy your lunch.😊 Will catch you in the next one. Take care, stay safe.

[@flu77erluv]

Yay!! A new video! I can't wait to watch it. 🙏

[@CigarAttache]

Ok, this is a must do on my next trip to Japan. Thank you!

[@catherine59226]

“I will melt it with passion”! I love that! ❤️👍🏻

[@rijlqanturis625]

Always love watching your videos. A chance to see unique things in Japan that we wouldn't see elsewhere.

[@Waywren]

Beautiful! But yes, I too was wondering how you ever got home okay. Thank goodness for good public transportation and not losing your egg.

[@littleforrest8863]

Wow another amazing video. I had no idea there were sake trains!?! Something to do on my bucket list 😊

[@danopticon]

May I make a suggestion? I understand Japan is very vegetarian-friendly! Could you make some videos focusing on an area’s best vegetarian/vegan specialties, and on the places serving those specialties? And then put those videos in a dedicated “Vegetarian/Vegan Japan” playlist? I’ll be in Japan for a few months for the 2025 Osaka World’s Fair, and I’d love a vegetarian guide to Japan … as I’m sure would others!! 🌱❤️🇯🇵

[@SnKKS]

That was fun thanks for taking us along. Would love to try this sometime 👍

[@theendofmyropemydude]

A train to pound liquor on would end...differently in north America than it does in Japan haha

[@MagickSprite]

I love sake, and this seems like a fun way of trying different brands.

[@rauleli]

Funny thing, "Koshino" sounds as a silly way to say "cochino", which in spanish means "dirty" hehehe. Thanks for the trip! I always enjoy your travel videos! Saludos!

[@janicelynn3787]

How you manage this trip is something. I'd be a sleep and or sick. Good job.

[@lisabarnes2477]

That’s a lot of sake LOL how you managed to walk straight afterwards is crazy 😂looks like a beautiful fun ride though

[@insanitypepper1740]

I have never seen the sake cup inside a box before, that is so cool! I also have never tried sake with salt. Now I want to find both.

[@mariamatus9114]

STJ at it again, this time with the sake train adventure. I don't think I could have managed it (yeah, I'm a lightweight when it comes to booze), but STJ did the sake thing and did it well. 😀 I've never had sake with salt, and I was curious about how you incorporated the salt. I could only think of a tequila shot (yes, the salt). But you showed how little salt to add, enhancing the taste of the sake. I'd love to try it. Oh, besides the sake - that scenery - gorgeous!!! Thanks STJ! p.s. I just had to edit my comment because "The toilet was not special" was unexpected and I may have laughed more than I should have. 🤣

[@Zoe-dr5ps]

Japan is just so cool and interesting. I love these video's so much.

[@HayTatsuko]

Now this... this is how to do day drinking the _right_ way, with delicious sake, delicious snacks, and gorgeous views!

[@mariemorgan7759]

Solo-san knows how to travel! I love those Japanese trains!🇯🇵🙏💕

[@netrhyda8761]

Very nice excursion! I hope all that Sake didn't give you a royal hangover....😆

[@SmilingQuokka]

Thank you for sharing your sake train experience with us. You did well to try that many and travel safely back afterward. Probably a good thing you had food along with the sake. I would have been asleep after two drinks 😅

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I did Tokyo to Sado in 2019, so I rode that Shinkanken line. The scenery is stunning.

[@steveowens398]

That was a lot of Sake - I'm impressed that you were able to disembark! I prefer Shochu myself - but not that many glasses! Thanks again for an interesting ride.

[@hesterdekoninck]

The moment I saw that first cup filled till (/over) the top, I knew this was gonna be interesting… Thanks STJ for another one !!

[@annetteleggett9854]

That looked like a lot of fun! Thank you for bringing us along!!

[@wattsinc.]

The only reason I stopped watching for two months was so I could have a stockpile of content thanks for the content

[@alexstrolls801]

I only can assume everyone left that train a little happier than usual 😉

[@IceLynne]

The food on this trip looks really good!

[@jnb756]

I love how the camera work got a little unsteady...lol Understandable though as they would have to carry my staggering butt off the train if I pounded down that much Sake before noon. Love love love these videos

[@endangeredmarmot4518]

This train-restaurant or food-train series you have done is excellent. Thank you for sharing!

[@simonalyneenderz3247]

Sake on a train!!!! Now that sounds like luxury! I hope it was really a thrilling experience!!!

[@gr1ff1ngton]

Thank you for selflessly testing the sake for us, purely in the name of research 👍

[@wizzi247]

A very interesting journey experiencing all that sake, thank you for sharing your day

[@markw1247]

It's always a good day when you're drunk before noon.

[@dskadd32]

Ooooo, there's still snow! That's such a cool trip. Thank you!

[@chriseren2819]

By noon u were feeling no pain with ur sake excursion!!! Too funny!!😋

[@randommcranderson5155]

Get on drunk train, drink hard all morning, get off train, get some fried food, and then something sweet for dessert. Living the life lol

[@DtlaDaisy]

Hello!!! Thanks for sharing this train experience. Adding it to my travel wish list!

[@papaanteportas99]

Oh we need something like this in Germany.😄

[@kevinwilson296]

Great food 👍

[@caryeddy6928]

Who else thinks Solo-San had a nice nap on the way back to Tokyo?😂

[@angeladavis2010]

AWESOME VIDEO AS USUAL ❤ Please keep posting!! You're amazing 😅

[@AnaSolVa]

And now I'm hungry... I'm not a big drinker, but I always find interesting how many different types of sake you can find.

[@Iluthra]

Oh I love sake. I buy a bottle every Winter so on very cold nights, I can have some warmed up with my sake set.

[@JillyBean860]

I just adore your videos so much. Thanks for letting us all travel with you! 🚆

[@RandomRangerRambles]

Thank you for taking the hit for us and trying all of the sake!

[@andrea6421]

I love sake…. I’m living in the wrong country 🤣 Thanks for sharing another great video! 😊

[@raoulcaliente1030]

I went to a sake tasting some time ago. I was told later I had a really good time

[@sharonleong7120]

It was great. I love it once again Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

[@jkaw9291]

Greetings from the United States. I enjoy your videos and this one Is wonderful. With you drinking so much Sake, I am felling a little drunk myself. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you and happy travels.

[@1UkuleleDude]

I hear the two little beeps at the start of your videos and just relax. It is a great segue telling me I'm in for an interesting and relaxing few minutes with minimal voices, wonderful views and tempting food!

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip, and yeah another unique train.

[@Kellehy]

I wish I could eat and drink as much as you can.. Everything looks so delicious!!

[@AmbientWalking]

Really had so much fun watching your video! Happy that you shared it!

[@Ginartemis]

Awesome video, I'm surprised you made it off the train to eat. 😂 I would have fallen flat on my face.

[@vulapa]

What a unique experience, and a fresh take of a video from you! I wouldn't mind paying extra for some good food and sake while traveling!

[@petegregory517]

Amusing video. "That was close." I thought, because you're drunk. Then you said "I'm drunk." Yeah, you are, no doubt.

[@amputeeright]

It was a lovely ride. I know little about sake-I don't drink alcohol, since I am diabetic.The tidbits served with the sake looked good, and I want to try the miso dessert. Thanks for taking us on this trip, Solo-san.

[@peterv5273]

Thanks for this video! I'm surprised you were still able to film after all that Sake.

[@christy76840]

I love Japan. AND I'VE NEVER BEEN! Makes me sad that I can't pack my bags and move there right now. someday maybe- hopefully

[@Trebuchet48]

I feel a little drunk just watching, and then to discover it was all before lunch!! :o The price for three sakes and the salmon seemed quite reasonable.

[@irenekhoo9639]

My kind of train journey! I love ❤ sake!

[@bethan.gruffydd]

What a unique and fun outing

[@vivianmavros2963]

Wow what a great idea sake train , love your comment that the toilet was not special made laugh 🍶 thank you for videos

[@zhorgo7753]

tips of the day : IF the salmon try to get off the plate to run to the ocean OR IF the gelato wiil go to the mountain ... you're drunk ! xD 😁 are they many "specials trains" like this in Japan (food, beverage, both or other type)? in my country (Belgium) it's not usual... Only for exceptionnals trains like "Orient Express" (during a 2 or 3 days journey [sleeper train] and it's very very expensive to travel with it)

[@asan1050]

Thanks Much !

[@stabothegremlin]

The food coma i would of been in would have me napping on the train 🤤

[@Ms.HarmonyJ]

Alright my friend so glad to see another amazing video I just finished benge watching your videos see what I can when I start traveling sensational job if you are ever in the USA of Virginia look me up we will have lunch you can tell me what are good places to travel be safe

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I like oshiburi, the hot wet flannel used in restaurants. I wish we had that in the UK.

[@RedUnit10]

A nice little trip with STJ during breakfast before I head to work.

[@sdetent5787]

I also have a passion for napping... and drinking on trains

[@djor316]

lol I had fun watching the video.Thanks for taking us along. Be safe and God Bless.

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Thank you for taking us along on the adventure.

[@davidf2281]

You can't beat a good old-fashioned piss-up on a train!

[@LegacyArkGames]

Wouldn't know what to do on this train, I don't drink booze! :) Great video.

[@seven_hundred-seven_hundred]

Very nice. Thank you. (I went to the grocery store to get ingredients for a lasagna/Italian salad/garlic toast meal and I planned on getting some Sake... Dang!. I forgot to get the sake.... next time...)

[@Remitonov]

The snowy scenery in springtime Echigo looks so idyllic. It's probably the heavy snowfall preventing services in the winter, like STJ guessed.

[@petecollins4925]

Echoing many of the other comments here, that was an epic battle to stay on top of all that sake, you did extremely well. My drinking habits have mellowed with age but I have to admit that this video did make me go and pour a glass of aged Scotch malt whisky to enjoy whilst watching.

[@jimross7648]

This looks like a nice day trip. You get to try a number of different sake while eating a seeing some nice sites in Niigata. For the price I think it is a good deal. I'll put this on my list of experiences to have in Japan.

[@sabretech2001]

What sort of curry goes well with sake? Find out in the next STJ video!!

[@suzannadannaTARDIS]

Thank you, Solo Traveler. As someone allergic to soy and most legumes, I thought I'd have a hard time eating and drinking in Japan. All of the recent train journeys with wonderful meals have shown me that I wouldn't starve if I visited your beautiful country.

[@rebeccagazzingan387]

Thanks for sharing and thank you solo travel japan for the upload So enjoyable I heart you mwah!

[@deadfish7327]

nice video and super interesting, never knew about a sake train lool ...but so early in the morning to drink alcohol....hmmm i am not used to that and i never drink in public, just in private at home.
