10 Best Street Food You MUST Try in Nagoya Japan

[@Fantiigerro]

That hard bread reminds me of Hardtack. Hardtack was known to have been a staple food for western sailors, soldiers and pioneer folks between the 17th and 19th century. It had a long shelf life and was cheap to make. I think the best way to eat something that hard is to dip it into a hot drink like tea or hot chocolate or some savory soup.

[@kudzu_]

I don't know about that particular "bread", but hardtack can be eaten with a little hot water poured over it and mashed as a sort of porridge.

[@thewebupdater]

I was thinking the same thing, too. Glad you mentioned it!

[@bonzolvr]

I came to the comments to say the same thing - seemed like hardtack!

[@thelmatellez2845]

Ur right I think so too.

[@Rebbie55]

Gosh I read hard beard and I read it two times to understand why u want to dip it in hot and eat

[@Johnpiani]

I'm so happy to taste a little bit of my Brazilian snack, here the coxinha is a very traditional snack, it has a variety of flavors, chicken with bacon, chicken with catupiry, meat, meat with boiled egg, shrimp, cheese, ham and etc. . You need to try other foods from Brazilian cuisine. 🇧🇷❤

[@RECEITASFITESUPLEMENTOS]

Coxinha is so good when you prepare well is crispy and light…. My Mom used to make the best coxinha ❤️😍🥰😋

[@tessiewaraynon3170]

one of my dreams to go back in Japan. I'll try to go Nagoya.

[@FoxDragon]

My brother lived in Nagoya for a bit over a decade. I visited him there several times and have spent many hours in those shopping streets, so many fun and interesting things. Also very fun to see you guys wandering around a place I recognize so well!

[@shannondore]

Shinichi's excitement over the Saracha vending machine was so cute.🌶😋

[@daisykoga2477]

Shinichi, there's a bakery on the Big Island, I think in Mountain View, that makes Stone Cookies. I've never had them but I would see a lot of people buying it for omiage or personal consumption. So I think that hard bread is not that uncommon. My guess it was easy to travel with in years past and was probably dipped in hot tea or coffee or even slowly melted in the mouth to make it last longer.

[@VannieEats]

Really miss the street food in Japan. Thanks for making these awesome videos to make me feel like I’m virtually there 😝

[@jessicaarttans4415]

The intro when Satoshi mentioned the reason why they went to Nagoya, it's so cute and lovely

[@Brie7362]

That hard bread is called hardtack in the USA. You are supposed to soak it in soup or whatever before eating. It’s actually an old and amazing thing. It will NEVER go bad. It’s as good today as it will be in 100 years. It’s a survival food.

[@jeywood6532]

I really enjoy the tours of Japan and the many restaurants. Here in America many citizens are stressed and don't have much way to socialize with others in plazas. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@Gigan83]

I used to live in Japan about an hour outside of Nagoya, and Osu was easily my favorite place in the city.

[@ShadowPuppet3001]

great video, the chicken and sriracha sauce looked like a good combo 😋, i will have to try it when I move to Japan 🇯🇵 😊, you guys are the best, awesome videos 😊 🎉

[@deanzaZZR]

When I lived in Japan over 2 decades ago I passed through Nagoya so many times while commuting between Tokyo and Kansai, but I never got off in Nagoya to explore. All I know about the food is that the people of Nagoya love a strong-flavored red miso. I'm surprised it took so long to hear the word 'miso' in your food exploration (24 minutes in). Looks like plenty of tasty street food options in Nagoya.

[@Scriptor13]

I love to watch you two out enjoying yourselves! The food all looked wonderful, and there was such a variety. Satoshi's glee at buying Sriracha from a vending machine made me smile, as did your "struggle" with the katapan. I think the katapan would probably taste great dunked in milk tea. The satonashi pudding appealed to me most. I didn't know that fermented rice could give it just enough sweetness. I always learn something from your videos. Much love to you both. ❤️❤️

[@donusui1343]

I am half Japanese, and I just wish one of the top japan vlogger would post a picture of my dad with his details that I am looking for him for 28years now... he lives in Nagoya, I wish I can find him before it's too late

[@rkho2284]

Have you had any luck finding him? How about you go there and find a private investigator to search records and see what they can find?

[@trevor8572]

Watching you two eat your way around the places you go and your expressions are priceless. The love of food must be universal. Looking forward to traveling again. Hi to all from Down Under 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@Ralesk]

I can't watch the hard bread bit without thinking of the hardtack by Tasting History :D

[@shannondore]

I was thinking the same thing. Was seeing Max tapping them together...."clack clack"

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Nagoya has so many hidden treasures to eat , this was actually an interesting experience. I do remember the bakery those brick breads 🍞 they remind me of the cabin bread biscuits the old sailors would eat by soaking them in a hot cup of tea or milk till its soft then eat. This place has a wonderful variety of foods , perfect for any traveler to enjoy thanks so much .

[@achevres]

Going soon to Nagoya! Will try to go to some of these places. I was in Nagoya for a short time before, and the miso tonkatsu at Yabaton was my favorite tonkatsu of several I had in Japan.

[@SuzuNoUtaTX]

I used to work in Nagoya and going to Osu Kannon was a highlight. Amazing food and marketplace.

[@tomokotomoko]

Yes! Yes! Osu is heaven! 😃😊　Thank you for coming to Nagoya!

[@merrynpreston9446]

makes me want to visit Nagoya for sure.

[@kylevanleuven8715]

@13:10 the bread snack crackers are delicious and the shop is very happy for customers right now!!!!

[@TheGinnoel]

I'm lucky enough to live in Japan and watching your videos is my favorite part of trip planning! Hoping to head to Nagoya soon!

[@TabiEats]

Enjoy!!!

[@VanGoWanderlust]

I am an American and I travel to Japan maybe 3 times a year, two weeks at a time, for the past 15 years. I always love Nagoya and try to schedule my Nagoya portion for the middle weekend. I think for Americans, it has a very familiar feel. The streets are broader, the pace is slower than Tokyo, very calming and relaxing. I love it there. Nagoya also has the most varied number of coffee shops in Japan! You could do an entire video just visiting coffee shops!

[@ivorybow]

I have seen that all restaurants and street food stands in Japan are immaculate. Lots of street food in various places looks delicious, but maybe not all that safe to eat. I would feel safe eating absolutely anywhere in Japan. You have a beautiful and pristine cuisine. I am learning to cook Japanese food with your help, and today, I make my first okonomyaki. I have all authentic ingredients for it.

[@garydell2023]

It all looked oshii. Can't watch these on a empty stomach. Thank you both.

[@chadwright7614]

The bread is like hardtack famous in the mid to late 1800s..try dipping in coffee or tea

[@SharingtheRoad]

WE WANT TO VISIT JAPAN SO BADLY, and now we want to go that much more. The food scene looks absolutely amazing, and we shouldn't have watched this while hungry!

[@lauriepenner350]

Do it. I've been twice and it is my favourite place I've ever travelled.

[@HappyOldDogAndCatFarm]

That hard bread is called "hard tack" in 'Merica , it's meant for long dry storage, and you're supposed to soak it to soften it up. Main ration for soldiers in the Union Army.

[@DjurrenArt]

These look really good! Also, hardtack is made like a brick as it's meant to last for a very long time. It was consumed by sailors on sea voyages, soldiers at war, and migrations of people from one country to another.

[@lauriepenner350]

Insert clip of Max from Tasting History clacking two hardtacks together.

[@gregorymaroda4860]

One might add it to some liquid (coffee, soup, etc) to make it edible.

[@DjurrenArt]

@@gregorymaroda4860 I usually pair it with either coffee or hot cocoa.

[@Rebbie55]

I am in Nagoya now and Osu is my fav street here, I have tried some of these snack but now after seeing this video I want to go tonight and try few more specially that hard bread as I make soup

[@pierogiesAndKielbasa]

You guys seem so well-rested and excited in this video! Loving your energy. Really love how much Satoshi is enjoying Nagoya! It made me happy because I know Shinichi loves it too! Every time I see Nagoya in the movies or on TV it seems like it’s own little world in Japan - I love that.

[@faitht.685]

Thanks for this video!! I’m supposed to be moving to Nagoya later this year for school and it’s hard finding videos about it. I’m super excited to go and try these foods lol

[@Umbra_Nocturnus]

I just love Shinichi's reaction to the hard bread. I'd guess it was made for travelling, so it doesn't spoil quickly. Like western ship biscuits or zwieback.

[@mariak1178]

I love watching this Video, It’s so nice to see you both enjoying Nagoya /Ossu Street Foods. I go there like once a week and I always buy Lee‘s Taiwan Chicken. It’s really good as you say. And next time, you should try the Korean Corndog in front of the Game Center, taste good 👍🏼 And try the GameCenter as well 😄 You‘ll never go empty handed there, catch something there st Taito always. Good staffs to help out. Stay safe and looking forward to your next Videos 💕

[@nancywibowo8632]

Thank you Shinichi and Satoshi for this video about street food in Nagoya...I think you must dip in hot soup for hard bread..Someday I like to try chesnut dango,osso brazil and sushi beef ..looks oishi...

[@annh5627]

Sriracha sauce is great in Ramen, on omelets, dip with fried foods, and my favorite is with plain kettle potato chips. It adds extra element of flavor and really it adds pop of flavor to any foods. 🥰

[@tobin1677]

Real cool seeing someone giving Nagoya some credit considering how most people who make English content treat it. A couple things I figured I would throw in since its pretty interesting: The pizzeria mentioned a couple time (Solo Pizza) is a Michelin star holder last I checked. The karaage place you said you want to return to is fantastic, though I haven't tried the Taiwanese chicken yet so I don't know how it compares. I was also surprised to see the Nikuzushi with an ebi senbei plate as I am aware of another place that does that in Aichi, so I don't know if they are related or if it was maybe stolen by one of them. Either way the other location is in Inuyama's castle town area, so if you are ever around there check it out. If you make it to Aichi again in the fall by the way, you should definitely check out Korankei in Asuke town. They have a fall festival in November that is beautiful thanks to all of the maple trees there, and there are tons of interesting foods to try. The most iconic are probably gohei mochi and the jibie foods using local deer and wild boar.

[@Cambium29]

I watched this while eating a cheeseburger pizza. You guys are great.

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Thank you for visiting Nagoya, it was very interesting to see, and it looked like you had a fun time. I'd love to try that hardbread.

[@ladiesdays]

That expression on your face when biting into the hard bread🤣 is adorable

[@Princessmom9]

I cannot wait to travel again. I would love to come there and try some of the delicious foods.

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Never seen bread so strong before… they should put a warning label on it lol

[@LoliKami]

Japanese people are not as fragile as Americans supposedly

[@tamara4557]

Never been to Nagoya, only travelling through it on the shinkansen. But my university adviser I had for my thesis lived in Nagoya for a year and he was really positive about the city. That bread omg so hard! I think it is fr in soupd or stews. just put iy in cream stew or something. or instead of the dumplings in suiton. I would definitely try the purin and the mont blanc dango. And the beef sushi!!!! I have made bees sushi with roast beef marinated in shiokoji but never tried it like that. Though I had a kalbi sushi at a kaiten sushi place in Sugamo now I think about it. And the yabaton set :) I never seen so many outside sitting ay restaurants in shotengai. Looks like a cozy area. I just love shotengai❤

[@Taralynn70]

What a great food adventure. Loved the area so much! Enjoyed watching you guys wrestle a piece of bread, lol.

[@preciliahermanto5542]

The Katapan was so fascinating! I would imagine it would taste quite nice dunked in warm tea. Slightly sweetened English breakfast perhaps? I'm curious as to how they're made though, for them to be that hard!

[@kittyc6440]

Hahaha that hard bread really surprised me, I expected it to be crunchy like a biscotti, but I didn't think it'd be that hard to bite into. 🤣 The item I want to try the most is that curry bread at the end! 😍

[@allyioos5149]

Thank you all soooo much for going to Nagoya! And making several videos. As an American I prefer Nagoya and wish more people would visit.

[@mtakayas]

So nice you liked Brazilian coxinha!!! It's delicious! Greetings from Brazil guys!!!!! 🇧🇷🇯🇵

[@maribelrex5049]

ohhhh I miss Japan cuisine...wish to comeback soooooon

[@debracantrell1058]

Yes another awesome food tour love history you share with us thanks for sharing this video stay safe and take care 😘😘❤️

[@Onyx-Rose150]

I'm pretty sure the "hard bread" is a type of tea biscuit. Usually really hard things like that are.

[@werewolve8110]

Hey guys, the hard bread maybe something similar to Hardtack/Ships Biscuits which was meant to be a ration for soldiers and sailors with a very long shelf life so it can be preserved for a long time. Usually it was used to thicken soups or pounded and made into a sort of mush, kinda like porridge. If pounded it was also used as an alternative for usual flour. Also softening it by dipping it in any kind of liquid u have available was an option.

[@PREPFORIT]

5:42 A Very cool vending machine! I have been to Si Racha Thailand and it is not popular there at all. Because the Thai gentleman that invented it Named it after the ship that took him to America "The Siracha"

[@ladymurasaki370]

Omoshiroi! I would love to try it all! 😋

[@SergioUeda1969]

Hi guys. Great video. My experience with Nagoya: It´s the big city with the biggest western vibe I visited in Japan excepting the historic areas, of course (and the Osu district). I loved the city but when I walked around the Mirai Tower and shopping malls and places around Nagoya Station I thought "Wow! I´m back to the west" Lol. Best regards.

[@UmaiSeries]

Always intrigued about what Nagoya can offer to tourists and this video helps a lot! That shotengai looks massive and there’s so much good food to sample. Thank you for sharing TabiEats 🙌🏼

[@katarinav.749]

Your channel is something that I always go, to chill and calm down after every horrible and sad thing on youtube and my Own life. This is like a panick room for me. A place where things are nice, people are nice and videos are happy and interesting. Thank you!

[@zyrabermudez2458]

Awesome video again guys. Nagoya has been my go to place in Japan. I love the food variety. Im glad I saw new food items I havent tried before. The hard bread episode was so funny and I am watching this at 4:00 am I cant help but laugh. I hope once you have rested you can visit more places.

[@arrictinegames3089]

Thank you for showing all of these street foods! I definitely have to try them one day when I'm finally able to visit Nagoya. 💙

[@phatsmurf575]

So much variety of food & they're all delicious. Love it. LOVE IT!❤

[@kodamakun]

Yeah!! Coxinha!! Love you guys, from Brazil!

[@Roastpeef]

I really love his personality and Japanese accent!!!!

[@Roastpeef]

Oh his name is Satoshi, Hello Satoshi😄

[@Roastpeef]

You two are so great! The only food channel that I can watch without getting irritated

[@goodquestion5617]

For the hard bread, try dipping it in soup, coffee or tea, before trying to eat it. you could decide whish one would be best depending on if the bread is sweet or savory or bland.

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job you guy’s

[@joeybenra]

I ❤️ NAGOYA !!!

[@mercedes7087]

Love Sriracha, nice walk. Happy birthday Shinichi🥳🥳🥳

[@Wanderingacrossoceans]

Australia has beef sushi and it’s definitely my favourite when I go to a sushi train.

[@teacupterrier783]

Love you guys showing Brazil some love ❤️ Those videos you filmed about Brazil town were how I first found you guys; been a subscriber ever since.

[@StormAngelWolf]

The hard bread reminds me of the soldiers bread we soak in broth to eat awesome walk guys love it.😁👍🏽

[@ningen1980]

I love all the foods you share together. It gives an idea of recipes to try on my own.

[@frankrivera4625]

The coxinha from brazil are called “relleno de papa” in Puerto Rico they are also made with beef inside.

[@wernstberger]

You can eat the Harktack bread with soup or stew. Dip it in and ithe bread will soften.

[@jeremybiwer8756]

So many lovely street foods.

[@buttmasterflash9604]

Thank you for your mouth- watering video! The hard cookies are eatable when you dip them in a cup of tea or could be used for a fitness work out!😃

[@Richhookspin]

I love your street food videos.

[@MrLGDUK]

I wish we had better street food across the UK! I'm experiencing such food envy watching this! 😋 P.S. I wonder if those really hard biscuits/breads are intended to be dipped into hot drinks?

[@lilbatz]

I'm thinking soup.

[@MrLGDUK]

@@lilbatz Yeah, and especially if they're fully savoury and not at all sweet. Like giant croutons 😁

[@chaosdestructionlove]

Probably would be really delicious soaked in miso soup or a hot pot. Also same,I was very envious bc I don't think I've seen such an interesting bustling street food scene in my area of the UK.

[@arkonite]

@MrLGDUK definitely should have been dunked into a hot soup! I’m with you on the food envy btw 😉

[@MrLGDUK]

@@arkonite It's still a mystery why my reply notifications were turned off!! Found it, though 😁 Yes, those hard, hard breads would soften right up but without breaking apart in a rich broth (unlike other bread with can fall apart because the soup adds so much weight when the bread soaks it up fast) so that must be it. Credit to @Enjay Nicolay for correcting me when I was talking about hot drinks!

[@SchulungKDCB]

i wish i could go with you and tast all that good stuff.... the hard breed stays good for long time.... maybe food for ships in old times

[@janetholt1578]

We have hard tack in America. It was a traveling necessity in the old days.

[@awoFalase]

Another great segment

[@kamariahzaharin4744]

Everything you ate looked good. So what happened to those very hard biscuits? lol Thanks for another delicious video.👍🏽👍🏽😊

[@MaryinWilm]

Is the hard bread like Melba toast or teething biscuits for toddlers?

[@dutchbiker4825]

The katapan looked like hard tack, also known as rusk. In old times they used to eat that on sailing ships because it kept good for so long. Try making one into a porridge with some warm milk and sugar.

[@marisol6473]

The katapan is so interesting.

[@anastasiawyatt4088]

So many interesting foods! And that bread looked so hard!

[@momonakokeshi6325]

Everything you ate look so delicious. I really want to try the first one. I also want to try the curry pan.

[@SailorVdizzle]

You guys need to check out Inuyama Castle!! There are some shops and tasty food stalls and more beef sushi as you walk to the castle. There are gorgeous Sakura trees in the spring too ❤️

[@bettyboop7426]

I was scared for Satoshi&his teeth as those rock biscuits were like rusks. What a great area&sugar free custard is great idea,enjoy your break&hopefully tech free trip🍠🍘🍻

[@u2onair11]

Hilario’s watching you two try to eat that katapan. 😂 I wish you went back to the store to get info on how to eat them. I’m curious now…. 😅

[@KoraRubin]

I really want to try the bread for French Onion Soup. It would hold the structure well and store all the delicious soup flavour. Also a good pantry item for the next quarantine. 😋

[@ramoncgtc]

I love this vlog guys, and the siracha and golden dango vending machine looks awesome. Thank you for showing us every place in Japan.

Some of the hard snacks usually made to accompany coffee or tea. They need to be dipped in the drinks first. That was funny when you guys tried to break the bread :)

[@pereirakelvin67]

Superb will be on my way this October. Thanks for sharing this videos. Once again thank you very much. It will help me. Btw how many day is sufficient to stay at Nagoya ?

[@TabiEats]

Depends on what you want to do, but three days should be enough.
