😂 Perfection at a Japanese 7-11! Here in USA... only food e-coli perfection.

[@AD7Films]

The ground crew waving and bowing at the gate when the plane is leaving and when you're in the air with a nice shot of Mt. Fuji was a perfect ending. Very nice, so relaxing!

[@2hearts1seoul]

So glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@kotamakikatahau6372]

Kia ora. Enjoying your Japan series. BTW, some shift workers have beer etc once they finish work in the morning. Ie. your breakfast time is like their dinner time.

My Sunday night relaxation therapy! Love your videos so much!! ❤

[@2hearts1seoul]

Thank you so much! 🥹

[@robopecha]

thank you so much for this series! i just rewatched it because i wish i could be there too... this matsuya breakfast looks perfect for me. i would get that every day. oh, and i want that furikake chicken keychain! i have this exact one right here on my kitchen table! :)

[@ViktorijaBastete]

I went to Japan while watching through your Japan series. This one the only left to watch after got back. Me and mum loooooooove creme brulee ice scream as well, it was sooooooo good. Mum bought that strawberry sandwich that you love, unfortunately we didn't understood hype, as tasted just white bread, cream and jam. Matcha icream and latte was defiantly for us. My mum went even more brave for match sorbet. That was even to me too much. 😂 I'm glad you had great time there. We as well really looking forward to go back there someday.

[@Omer-or8pg]

I’m currently studying in Korea and I am not big on buying STUFF and I have been quite good in Korea but in Japan I am like you and can’t control myself 😂😂 I love having rediscovered your vlogs now that I am also in this part of the world. I love your vlogs ☺️ so relaxing

[@2hearts1seoul]

ZERO CONTROL 🇯🇵😬 And thank you so much 🥰

[@romee3859]

I love your travel vlogs. They are so realistic ❤ and relatable. You guys show how the real experience would be for any common man from any part of the world. It’s the small things like food, culture, souvenirs and most importantly memories that we take away from travelling.

[@marenhumblebee2736]

Generally people can have alcohol with breakfast, but usually champagne, I think. But in Germany, specifically Bavaria there is a breakfast which is white sausage, mustard, pretzels and thats served with beer. I wouldnt have imagined its a thing in Japan. But maybe they came in for breakfast after a night-shift... thats a situation where I could also have beer in the morning😊

[@nataliyainmotion]

Ive been living in Japan for 6 years now, and I am always so excited/pleasantly surprised when there is public seating anywhere in city center. I see a lot more public seating when I get a bit more into the suburbs and stuff. Not sure of the reason, although I could speculate. (Also I love that I can tell when you visited Japan just based on the 7-11 food selection 😂)

[@nicolegordon129]

Everywhere that you are seems so aesthetically pleasing when you guys are out and about. Thanks for taking us along.

[@lindac1142]

OMG, your packing part in the video brings back so many memories, 😂 It's the ultimate game of real life tetris (I end up jamming it all in)... Your Tokyo series has made me want to go back so much. I have a tendency to run wild all over Tokyo seeing as much stuff as I can. Your videos make me want to slow down and enjoy the district you're in more fully. In my two trips, I've yet to even see SkyTree close up. I'm going to definitely make note of all your konbini foods. Great series! Edited to add that I've always wanted to see Mt Fuji from the plane! My flights are usually in and out of Japan in the evenings and nights.

[@dawnlemieux8225]

Great video, as usual! Making a list of those places you went to for my next trip to Japan. You're right about the cuteness effect. I went with two 19 year old boys and even they were hooked!

Thanks for sharing that breakfast place! I’ll visit Japan on a tiny budget in a couple of weeks and knowing that I can get a meal with salmon for $4.50 REALLY helps. Also the beers in the morning thing: I grew up in Germany where my dad would have breakfast beer with breakfast with friends once a week. (Much to the displeasure of my mom.) And then 10+ years in the UK, there some people also would meet for breakfast and beer but also really only on the weekends.

[@FoodieHideout]

Love the video! Sundays are chill because of these. 😊

[@kim21223]

Happy you both had a great time in tokyo. I think that is so sweet and like u said wholesome that they bow and wave at you as you take off. That is strange that they dont have many benches to sit down at especially like u mentioned for the elderly . Like u said your backs were hurting so im suresome older ppl struggle more. Love ur cute cat umbrella and cat mini calendar and cute facial skin care keychain. How are you enjoying the real facial product? I dont know how i have still never tried the strawberry and cream sandwich I'm sure i will love it . I wonder if they sell it at hmart . I hope you both have a nice week. Any plans for the holiday's?

STATIONERY!?! Don't get me started on Japanese stationery, I'm a ho for Hobonichi, Midori, Kokuyo, etc. I've had my eye on that same kitty cat calendar for a while. I am dying to go to an Itoya, or a Loft or Ancor. I died at the Hado Labo gachapon, I know I'd lose a lot of money in a place like that.

I always enjoy your videos ❤ The Very few benches issue- I think is because of several factors- not enough resources for upkeep (🤔), but there is quite an underground Homeless population that many Pretend isn’t there. So I can imagine that if there were more benches, people would be sleeping on them.

[@cbobby]

those gentelmen who ordered beer might have just finished their night shift jobs....calling it a day (thing)

[@DennisKaiiHiin]

Yeah I thought the same. A lot of night shift jobs in Tokyo...

[@aturouoomura9504]

It's extremely rare for someone to drink beer in the morning in Japan. One possibility is that he worked in a 24-hour factory, and was drinking beer after working through the night. Or maybe he had just finished work repairing the subway. Or maybe he had been making bento boxes at the station since early in the morning, and was drinking them after work. This is a scene that you might see especially in downtown areas like Asakusa. Either way, someone is working 24 hours a day in Tokyo.

[@rossop7]

Lol, the bamboo shoot chocolates Kyuho loves are also my favourite snack from Japan. 1st time I had them I stupidly didn’t realise they were bamboo shoots & just called them bullets & ever since they’ve become known in our family as the bullet chocolates. So that’s what we ask for whenever I ask my brother to send some over. The best though!

[@2hearts1seoul]

Bullet chocolates! 😂😂 why is this so accurate though?!

[@emmetee9675]

Watching your Japan vlogs always makes me hungry! I was wondering, in your opinion which country has the better convenience store meals/snacks, Japan or Korea?

[@skatingcanuck9837]

That is a good question seeing as both countries are famous for both. I think it depends on your taste in snacks, meals, and which convenience store. I haven't been to Japan, but I do notice that there is a layer of convenience like having microwaves, tables, cutlery, boiling water, free ice that I haven't noticed in videos of Japanese convenience stores. I have also noticed self-serve convenience stores in Korea in random places like on the beach that people can access 24/7. Please anyone correct me if I am wrong.

Fun fact about the Bamboo chocolate snack. There's a Mushroom version and the two have been battling it out for popularity since their inception. Bamboo(Takenoko-no-sato) vs Mushroom(Kinoko-no-yama) And for the longest time Bamboo has been dominating. Personally, I prefer the crunchy biscuit texture of the Mushroom over the flaky cookie texture of the Bamboo. They're both delicious tho.

Someone once told me, having another bottle of beer in the morning is one of the best ways to get over the hangover the next day, which probably has no evidence at all. To me, they did seem to drink it like morning coffee.

[@W.i.l.l._Nguyen]

Calpis exist in Canada under a different name: Calpico....because Calpis sounds like.... and about the beer thing: it is possible that they start their work early like from midnight (especially if you work in the fish industry), and then it's 9 AM is simply like their "end of workday".

[@robert-antoinedenault5901]

Your comment on the lacking "sitting or resting" accomodation was something I've asked many times. someone has taken the time to explain it to me; this is the best explaination i can convey. Considering the work/life balance in japan and the popular (or the unpopular) opinion on lazy people. Putting down benches was an invitation to waste time, occupy real estate (even for a fraction of time) thus preventing/removing (workers) ease of movement as to properly (and in a safely fashion) to circulate. Now that tourism is a proper industry in Japan, they have had to break away (extremely reluctantly) from this belief. They have started since the 2000's (big ramp up😂) to install them in the most obvious areas such as temples/shrines, nature trails/parks, look out points but are extremely rare in city centres/areas. As to prevent large potential assembly of stationary citizens for large groups; take kabukicho (tokyoko plaza) as a prime example/problem. If benches were available, it would invite and promote a larger gathering and disrupt the flow of urban design and passage. I know as a Canadian, we have established other locations as to peacefully remove these people but living in a free country, our hopes and dream of safe spaces are limited by the limited amount of these site (halfway house, homeless sanctuaries) and the willingness of people to follow the society expectations and norms. As an extra layer of protection, our (various) communities have enacted laws/by-laws to minimize these such as: by restricting "open hours" of public parks/sites and enforcing loitering regulations, just to name a few. Japan has managed to keep this situation extremely low for decades and all that was necessary was to omit "park benches" installation.😅😂😂😂 There is also the inherent belief in japan that "hurry and wait" - aka as waiting for doing something (very similar to the pali-pali culture of Korea) is an active state (Canadians, brits are amongst the best in the west as we have mastered cueing/waiting in line - activily waiting to do something) whereas the western perspective (USA mostly)!waiting is a passive akin to doing nothing. Where the expression of: "if you're not doing anything you might as well sit down...and shut up"😂😂😂

[@robert-antoinedenault5901]

Your surprise on the consumption of beer in the morning is quite troubling. As a professional in the manufacturing industry, this is the very least that one thing a society will never limit. All large facilities (+200 workers), tend to offer (at the very least) 3 shifts per 24 hour period. Why would the morning and evening have the right to enjoy a beer after their shift but restrict graveyard shift workers? That's completely nonsensical!!! Here in Quebec, the down time (time during which cleaning and deliveries are required) 3 am to 7am is the only moment where the sale is restricted. Therefore those that finish 14-17 or 22-1am or even 6-9, have the time to make their way to these locations, order their food and beverage. As for the beer formats availability that varies from country to country. Here in Canada there are the classic cans (355-500ml) and small bottles (341ml), medium cans and bottles (750ml) and the large (1,18L) and there is also the single glass, buck and pint format followed by the half pitcher (32oz) and the (full) pitcher (60-64oz) and my favorite format the 2.8L tower (to share in the early hours of the morning) with work colleagues while devouring a full Quebec breakfast (blood sausage and creton included) with a 10oz blue rib steak. As for missing Japanese draft beer in Séoul. A colleague of mine has a recommendation. It is called "Rest pub&bar", can't speak of it since I've never been but coming from a Japanese it must be good.😅😂
