General "Street Foods" vids from the areas of Jiyugaoka or Zoshiki (near Kamata) would be great (a couple of the areas I lived in when I used to live in Japan), and for "specific food" videos, tonkatsu, karē, or elite level unagi would be dope. Thanks for your vids, you are absolutely the best Tokyo/Japan-based youtuber

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks R - Squared Media! Those are great suggestions, looking forward to getting to these videos in 2019!

[@Anne-ug4jv]

Happy new year Paolo and Maiko! May I suggest you guys do fluffy pancakes around Tokyo? Or any breakfast meals would be nice. Looking forward to more videos this 2019!

[@rebeccabassett6638]

I've always loved MOCHI!! Its entertaining too! Its cool to watch them make it from what I've seen of traditional Japanese cooking.! But I'd like to see more of what japan offers with mochi ^-^

[@1inaLillian]

Paolo fromTOKYO will you do a more extensive video on the new Tsukiji market?

[@ushbag]

You know how I know Paulo is a great father. Literally all his jokes are dad jokes. “Shoyu, get it.” I laughed way harder than I’m proud to admit.

[@mikeh2125]

Thanks Paolo! We've just come back from Misoya Hachiro Shoten, and I ordered exactly what you got. WOW!! We've eaten a lot of ramen so far, and this place is by far our favourite - we'll be going back tomorrow for dinner. You've been a godsend, my friend. We've been able to achieve so much more in less time with all your tips! Mike

[@spaze04]

Im a simple man, I see a Paolo vid, I watch and like.

[@marcusleongcharnfai7210]

Hi Paolo, I just tried your no 1 recommendation for ramen in Shinjuku today. Ramen Murai was insanely huge in portion. I oredred the $1550 yen with the huge charsu. OMG! Its even hard for a guy to finish the whole bowl. It was a good tasty bowl of shoyu ramen. Very rich in flavor and noodles were firm and soaks up the broth. Keep making more videos in Japan dude!

[@nnnnnn329]

日本人より日本のこと知ってそう！毎回動画素敵すぎる〜

[@slk5020]

You had me rolling, "... man, I'm sweating." I'm also impressed, you've managed to keep your hoodie spotless, especially during your "Super Spicy" ramen! Awesome, vid!

[@GunGrave112985]

It was a horrible idea to watch this video at lunchtime, now I MUST HAVE RAMEN!!! Thanks for the awesome content, keep it up!

[@birdsboyfriend]

Last year was at Menhso SAN Francisco and tried wagyu beef Ramen... was great thanks for ur recommendation.... it’s been over a year, Japan has stuck in my head Japanese great people, respectful, craftsmanship, artistic, attention to detail... can’t wait to go back❤️

[@sonny8988]

Please make more of these for other districts!

[@mickgartondriver]

We were in Shinjuku 2 weeks ago and went to Misoya Hachiro Shoten, it was amazing great recommendation!

[@jasonstone9936]

You said, "Top Ramen". My mom bought and cooked Top Ramen for me. Brings back memories.

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Thank you for all your helpful videos throughout 2018! We know you're going to smash it even more in 2019, have an amazing new year Paolo! 👌

Been gone for awhile school and stuff but glad to be back loving the uploads man keep them up!!

[@gonkiciyamyam7222]

Thank you Paolo for always unique videos. As you say, it is difficult to decide the top 5 because there are so many ramen shops in Shinjuku and Shibuya. People who are watching this video just want to try various shops referring to this. You will surely find your favorite ramen.

[@amandacraig4379]

WARNING- do not watch this on your lunch break at work, what ever you're eating will not satisfy you after you see these ramen 😂

[@carooteiza8074]

Amanda Craig I am drooling and wishing we were in 2020 😹😹as I will not be in Japan till then🤩🤩🤩🤩

Watched this while waiting to go on lunch break. BIG MISTAKE!!!

Paolo! I can’t believe that u did not get any on your Japan sweater! You good! More spicy food please!

[@denizgasimli824]

Misoya Hachiro Ramen was one of the best food experiences I have had ever!

[@appleblows1]

Definitely going to patronize Misoya Hachiro. Can’t wait.

[@stefansl]

I tried some of the shops. Oreno Sora was by far the best ramen I've ever eaten. Thanks Paolo! :)

[@Lisa-gq7qh]

You deserve way more views. I hope that 2019 will be your year! I love your videos!! Paolo& Maiko, you’re awesome!!!!

[@kredyhemopo3792]

Your merch is dope 🧡

[@chrisjzx9471]

Misoya hachiro is truly amazing, we stayed at an air bnb in the building next door, some of my mates ate it twice a day. Best ramen I’ve ever had hands down.

[@astroboy3507]

Wow Manrai since 1961 love the old places!!!!!! Nice to try!!!!! Paolo enjoy the holidays!!!!! And happy new year guys!!!! Thanks for the Years info too!!!!

[@BigAppleKids]

OMG!!! Everything looks SO YUMMY.... our mouths are watering. LOVE RAMEN!!!!

[@unebonnevie]

Number #1's wagu beef bowl is excellent. Number #3 shop looks great! Number #1 shop has BIG servings!

[@iamalwaysnew]

These are very interesting ramen choices. I will follow your recommendations. For next video, Could you share any ideas to - get the economy lunch set under 1000Yen. - best breakfast in Tokyo for traveler.

[@DanikarlColobong]

You can go to yoshinoya, sukiya matsuya, matsunoya, gogo curry, coco ichiban, etc these are usually fast food places cost for as low as 1000 yen per meal. 😁

[@angesday452]

Ichiran's most basic ramen is less than 1000yen. And most of the conbini lunch sets don't go over 1000yen, and you'd have enough for a drink.

[@cheskatravelove08]

I just went there Pao! Thanks for sharing wonderful videos like this ! More power and god bless u always! 😘

[@CharBar07]

Ramen, udon, and soba are definitely comfort food. Great video

[@Dani12975]

We are loving your videos and can't wait for our Japan holiday starting Saturday :)

[@galaxykittenz2247]

Hello from the cold state of Minnesota! I love your videos so much! I want to move to Japan one day. your videos are so awesome keep making them! And all of the ramen looks so good! Happy holidays 😊

[@mrcyflft]

Manrai would be my favorite; the ramen (and pork roast slices!) looked incredible...would also love the natto foam on the dipping ramen, so lush!

[@davion1981]

I just woken up. After seeing this video I would love to have some ramen for breakfast. They all looked so tasty.

[@fjohn1268]

Fuungi was AWESOME!! My favorite while in Tokyo last week

[@sparkymahoney4343]

Gotta say that white ramen your wife had at SF was absolutely amazing looking. Want! :(

[@nikip9161]

I loved them all, I was drawn particularly to your third stop... That spicy bowl 🥣.. Admittedly, I'm a bit of a chili chaser and love the flavors with the heat combined. The black garlic is a wonderful standard. I won't even comment on the prices, (they're fantastic)... Thank you for allllll the beautiful dishes 😊❤👍🌻

[@AkiraYngojoMcKnight]

i walked 80miles for 2days and nights straight! i walked from 秋葉原 Akihabara to 横浜 Yokohama! i also walked from 秋葉原 to 新宿 to home in SAKURA HOUSE 千駄ヶ谷４丁目。on the way home, i walked through 靖国道理 Yasukuni Dori, i went to Yasukuni Shrine!

Awesome ramen shops. I sure miss Shinjuku even though it's only been 3 months since I was there. My favourite ramen shop was Tatsunoya in Shinjuku. Happy New Year have a good one 🍻🍺🍻

[@DavidKAnderson]

Have to try some or all of these. My personal favorite in Shinjuku is Tokyo Rahmen Ten...

[@chococolatz]

Thanks for this video man! Checking stuff to do in Tokyo because we are going to Japan in January 20!!

The ramen in Japan looks super delicious that I would love to try them, love it, Paolo!

Thanks Jade Cummings! Hope you get to try it soon.

Im SO going to checking these places out fer sher this coming oct2020 - thanx Paolo

[@RionIshida]

Spicy miso is my favorite 🍜 I cannot eat spicy food much, but Kara-miso(spicy miso in Japanese) is different story. Their rich taste let me forget the spiciness🤣

amazing video as always!

That egg is gorgeous!

[@cm4789]

I am obsessed with udon. I basically have a long term relationship with it. How about videos on best udon restaurants and/or places where you can join a udon making class?

[@superchatoalien4905]

Udon is great but very underrated! Udon has so much varieties by every region. I want him to explore Udon world!

[@Artbyemzed95]

Udon in japan was amazing. Only went to one place and you could see them cut and cook it to order as you were lining up waiting. Was really blown away by it, much more than any ramen I tried.

[@ndra_by_art]

4:54 that cuteness got me sidetracked 🥰

[@sebikathapamagar6076]

Your vedio is very great and interesting plese make more vedio what you want 😊 please

[@kelseylee1574]

my all time favorite is Saikoro in Nakano. Would love to try these other recommendations when I'm in Tokyo again! Thanks for the video! All of these ramen places look better than Ichiran.

[@magg0511]

I can't wait to try the ramen in Shinjuku in July. Thank you for sharing Paolo 🤗

This looks so good

[@cunxu2697]

I am in Japan right now and unfortunately we have already visited Shinjuku But I am on a shinkansen to Kyoto right now and I did watch your videos a few times before we went

[@theraff27]

First time I’ve heard of Oreno Sora and ramen looks damn good. Thanks for the recommendation! will check it out. Also, FYI, Mensho wasn’t imported from SF. Menya Shono shops already existed in Tokyo and was later changed to simply Mensho. Mensho SF was one of their later opened shops.

[@k.jamescarters9557]

Michelin star ramen for less than Wagamama 😂 great video as always. I would love to see a touristy things to do video or maybe one for the sports in Tokyo (baseball, sumo and how best to experience these)

[@snowleopard9364]

The California one is looking so yummy with special beef 😋😋 but the real deal is probably the last shop which offer big shrunk of meat . Look so original

[@adultingph]

Thanks for this Paolo 😊 Thr videos you upload are amazing! We are spending our holidays in Japan right now and just followed your Dotonbori, Osaka food suggestions. The Oyster was amazing! 😍 We're here at Nagoya now (wish you could make a video for here too) and will be heading to Tokyo tonight. We'll be staying at Shinjuku and will definitely try your recommendations. :) (In fact wr already listed Funji from your Shinjuku vid) Sending GV this holiday season, more power 😁

I wish we had this video a few months ago, these places look great! We were in Shinjuku and wound up at Ichiran (due to recommendations from many other vloggers,) and IMO it was kinda okay... (although your things to do in Shibuya video really helped us out!)

[@kamanama3671]

It's 3 in the morning and I want to make ramen so bad and I will somehow go to sleep and dream about soft chewy noodles in a deep sea of umami flavored broth yum great job

I am so hungry! Yay ..going Shinjuku in November 2019

[@CN-uz4yi]

same!!

[@charlie996]

Me too!

I didn’t know hayashida had another store! Will have to go next time I’m in Shinjuku…

You should do a video with strictly dumpling

[@StewBurgah]

Agreed!

[@glasyalabolas6585]

Absolutely😍✨

[@artie4017]

No

[@hmmm3741]

Clearly Paolo knows way more good hidden spots in Tokyo than strictly dumpling for living in Japan for more than 15 years, wouldn’t be that entertaining if Mike’s just going to be learning from him while knowing fully that strictly dumpling only introduces places in Tokyo where tourists go. Literally stopped watching his channel when he said Ichiran has the best ramen he ever had

[@michelebianchi7861]

strictly dumpling is too full of shit

[@jamesherman3750]

An angel spotted at 4:52. Wow

[@DANandNAK]

So helpful last time we were there trying to find a place to eat in shinjuku there was actually just too many to choose from!!!! Now just to go back 😋

🤤🤤🤤THAT beef Ramen looks soooo gooood oops I started drooling 😜

[@leydenampang2662]

Nice video keep it up.

[@alskndlaskndal]

I just got back from 東京 yesterday, stayed in Shinjuku. I'm vegetarian so didn't eat a lot of ramen, but there's a place in the Lumine building that has a vegan broth. I think it's called Afuri.

[@jacquelines3685]

I'm going to purchase some of those hoodies & tees !👍🏽💖

[@javierarealvelez]

Hey paolo, thanks so much for this one, I loved the Natto Zaru and it was such a unique thing I didn't find anywhere else. Being a gaijin , they really tried to talk me out of getting something with Natto and raw egg , haha. But it was great.

[@mavericks.9638]
