This is Japan's Ramen Vending Machine

[@TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

Kinda cool how Japan has a cafe shop or a vending machine for literally everything

[@dontnowatimdoing446]

Do you have 2 yt accounts? Because I still see the Jellal one with less subs.

[@WindscaleAx]

How about a vending machine for Tenga??

[@midorineko1113]

@@WindscaleAx pretty sure they have that one too. But not as accessible to everyone than other VM

[@OmniscientWarrior]

Need a hot drink for walking between stations, got that and at the right distance so you will have something warm the whole walk. Need a last minute suit, got that. Need some beer, got that. Anime figures for (insert current of cult classic), got that. Need to buy the pantsu of a cute girl, got that.

[@nittynotkitty]

So is there a vending machine cafe

[@Superduperscribble]

The word "potsticker" actually originates from China where chefs would accidentally leave their dumplings in their woks for too long thus resulting in the water evaporating and causing the dumplings to stick to the pan. In America I think it's more common they call them dumplings.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

I've heard all three interchangeably, though potsticker the most. Isn't there a version of these that are only boiled without being fried? Maybe those are what we called Chinese dumplings here in the U.S. Fried gyoza are way better and is the name I see when I order from my local Japanese restaurant.

[@selinie777]

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley the Chinese have both steamed dumplings, called jiaozi, and pot sticker, which are fried dumplings.

[@AlvinaYunoa]

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley potsticker is more of pan Fried dumplings like gyoza but dumpling is mostly steamed or cooked dumpling

[@bobbysmith8095]

Yeah, where I am from CA, Potsicker are mostly Chinese cuisine and always fry with that crispy skin. Gyoza are always Japanese and only found in sushi or Japanese shop/restaurant , never seen a Chinese shop offering them. Dumpling would be the general term and can be any cuisine from Korean to even American flour dumpling. So where I am from, just using gyoza would be really confusing. It really depend where you are from but California pretty diverse in Asian ethnicities so one word wouldn't work. However, in some state where there are only a few Asian ethnicities, they may just call everything dumpling. Haven't been outside of CA, so I wouldn;t know.

[@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley]

@@AlvinaYunoa Some Americans don't know the difference and so things are simplified to appeal to us and not sound so foreign, lol. Hence the creation of terms like "potsticker".

[@xiaorishu]

I've actually never tried tsukemen before but it looks so tasty! 🤤 Excited to see how the pizza one turns out.

[@dicenandy4721]

I tried it last month because Joey recommended it on Trash Taste. I don't think ramen can satisfy me anymore.

[@BlueRey2]

If it was 2012 I would freak out to see xiaorishu commenting on a video

[@aliyahpulido953]

10:59 "You gotta try this- Here, gimme camera!" Aki is me when I'm enthusiastic about how freakin' good food tastes and I want my friends to try it. I'm almost like, "HERE! Even if you're not hungry, this is an experience you'll regret not putting in your mouth RIGHT THIS SECOND!"

[@rebelminxy8516]

Everytime I see Aki doing a food video, all I can do is crave what she is making, wish there was a decent Japanese restaurant near me (best one I've come across is literally one state over) and hope the pandemic ends soon so I can finally take that trip to Japan that had to be canceled because of said world altering event.

[@ceekay3143]

Same. Regional Australia here, can barely find any sushi etc, let alone decent international fare. I did find a Vietnamese bakery that makes banh mi (aka Vietnamese pork roll). Worth the 10-15 minute drive to get it.

[@SmashedTomatoes]

I like that you made the shots super aesthetic despite the fact that you're just doing normal noodles like a normal person.

[@Ebrill_Owen]

I’ve seen the ramen vending machines that dispense actual bowls of ramen on KZbin ready to eat but I love this idea even more!

[@Irmkk.]

Is it just me or akin becomes a mum more and more every video,from taking us to an old hotel,to teaching us how to cook with cheap food!

[@Isador911]

Aki, you should move your fire blanket away from the stove. it is recommended to place it ideally between the stove and the exit at least 2 meters from the stove, that way if there is a fire you move toward the exit to get the fire blanket, making it easier to escape if you can't control the fire.

[@valdusdrgn]

You should totally make this a series! Just going out and finding interesting vending machines, purchasing whatever product lies within and reviewing them

[@xcatney]

If I had a vending machine nearby me that gave me gyoza/ramen I'd be in heaven 🥰🤤 Super curious about that Italian food one tho! Looking forward to that video too 😁

[@quinnhouk5369]

[@ummmiforgotmyname4525]

Aki spinning around made me laugh like crazy

[@FelicianoCookie]

I don't know why but I got so excited when I saw the gyoza, I can't remember the last time I had it. But yes I agree, soy sauce really brings out the flavor!! I kind of wish we had vending machines like that, the coolest one I have seen in my area was the coffee vending machine at the local community college.

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Totally amazing video of akidearest cooking Japanese ramen 🍜 from vending machines in Japan, fantastic job.

[@zealhayami]

Wow! Japan really does have vending machines for everything, don't they? This is one of the reasons I would like to go to Japan. A really nice video as always. ^-^

[@KarlTheCatto]

Seeing Aki whip out the Silver Swan Soy sauce made me go like "AAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY". You may wanna try Marca Pina, it's good as a dipping sauce or as a marinade for chicken and pork! More power, Aki! EDIT: Even better idea - Let Joey taste home-cooked Filipino foods

[@randomguypostanimeupdates6703]

[@sefanja4777]

tbh i'd prob live of that as a college student if they had those vending machines here.

[@neonnwave1]

As someone of Italian descent, I only have one thing to say about the Italian food vending machine: "...............................What?"

[@InitialDIP]

When I'm 18, I'm I want to live in Japan for 5 years and because of this video, I want to go there right now because of the Ramen Vending Machine.

Haha this video was awesome, I’m sorry I laughed when the gyoza burst when she took a bite 😅 Sometimes I see a bit of joey’s mannerisms in aki and it’s so cute! Staying tuned for pizza vending machine next! 👀

[@TriddyYT]

When I lived in Japan I didn't find a single weird Vending Machine and then Aki goes and finds 2 in one day.

[@nakazora]

I came across another video where someone else came across a vending machine that served actual freshly-cooked pizza. MIND BLOWING.

[@forgotabouteli272]

[@8FakeTears8]

There's a vending machine in Japan that sells legit soup in a can. I found it once but I haven't been able to find it since :,)

[@blackpiranaha525]

I'm curious to see what other kinds of non food vending machines are there. I believe Joey did a video on some like that before

[@antmerf3333]

The vending machines out there seem so cool and fun

[@FionaPGT]

For the gyoza, (unless its different form the ones i have) i recommend adding some water and covering the pan so the gyoza can steam abit

[@Insder4]

Aki: heavenly food, this is top delicacy Her 3 seconds later: like 6.5 outta ten it’s decent.

I found that curry ramen from a great Japanese grocery store in my state. I bought one on a whim once when I was there and really enjoyed it. I just wish the store wasn't 2 1/2 hours from where I live.

depending on how close that machine is to chris from abroad in japan he can actually make and serve ramen on his set instead of cup ramen

[@Rowan_Waters]

Those gyoza look absolutely delicious!! I was thinking about getting the Sakuraco box and doing my own review about it. And thus suddenly, (which I really shouldn't have been surprised considering everyone I was lives in Japan) everyone that I watch has been talking about it. I guess that truly is a sign I should try it.

The only time that I saw a pizza vending machine in Italy was when I went in Tuscany in some natural hotsprings. It served i think only two types of pizza, but it served them HOT. Basically the machine made the pizza at the moment.

you need a calamansi (small lime) on that silver swan soy sauce aki~! that's the best condiment you can have with that gyoza.. haha

[@kairallison]

potstickers is the english name for Jiaozi with are a type of chinese dumpling. the name comes from one of the common ways to cook jiaozi where they are just left in the pan to cook until they start to stick to the bottom. saying jiaozi with the right intonations can also be hard for people who aren't familiar with tonal languages like mandarin and Cantonese. gyoza are just called gyoza in english.

[@galaxiaad]

Gyoza are the Japanese version of jiaozi though. They're of Chinese origin.

[@rhillsgamer4121]

I was thinking that the camera person was Joey, then Aki was like "Have you had tsukemen" and they said no. In an instant, there was no doubt in my mind, it was not Joey lol

Next time cook the gyoza with a bit of oil and water (About 2dl) in the pan under a lid until the water has evaporated and the gyzoa has one side crisp and the rest coocked.
