Paolo fromTOKYO your gourgous

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Renee Moreno!

[@reneemoreno6813]

Paolo fromTOKYO. Your welcome

[@frankfccastle8346]

Hey Paolo I wanted to invite you to one of my unique nightlife tour. I run my own bar hopping nightlife tours in tokyo in an area called Kichijoji. the area is called harmonica alley, just like what was shown. everything is way cheaper then most places in tokyo and the people are awesome and friendly. Only downside is that its all in Japanese. But thats where I come in to help bridge the gap between the locals and travelers. I know you speak Japanese but If interested, message me for details, but You can find me via airbnb for tokyo nightlife experience. I have over 250 reviews and started back in september. And this is all done by me only! a one man army! and I speak English, spanish and japanese :) hope to hear from you soon!

[@mgizzlelighting6029]

This is amazing and I love watching your videos and when you're enjoying all the Japanese food

[@SkylorKatiman]

this guy... this guy is amazing, not only are his reviews literally some of the best ive seen, but he seems so innocent and not innocent at the same time

When Paolo says mmmm, it sounds like a lawnmower starting. hahaha.

[@inessaxxx]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@Doxsein]

I love that Paolo can say "bukkake" and the sentence "Look you can see the hole they just filled up with cream, and it's freshly filled!" both in the same video referring to food!! You're awesome Paolo, keep up the vids! And Congratulations to you and Maiko on your engagement!!

[@andresil8330]

It was a mistake watching this late at night. I’m so hungry now

[@MoxieBeast]

I just discovered you!! I can't wait to visit Tokyo some day😊 keeping this video bookmarked.💗

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks for watching Moxie Beast!

[@k1mch1k1d]

Be prepared to bookmark all of his other videos cause they are all awesome

[@kimmyc2862]

Maiko is so cute! When her eyes get big, and she says, “Mmmmm oooiishiiii!”...I feel that. I doubt I’ll ever get to Tokyo, so I’ll have to eat this food vicariously through these two 😐

[@amethyst9704]

why won't u go there?

[@kimmyc2862]

I really enjoyed this episode. Thanks for making and sharing it.

[@emilypatricia2307]

Love love LOVE your videos! I'm planning a trip back to Japan next year, and I'm adding all these places to my 'to-do' list! Thank your for all your amazing videos. It's so nice seeing people who are excited about food!

Never heard about this area till now. Thank you for the recommendation! With all these hot spots. I'll definitely give them a try one day. :)

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Joshua Skidmore! Let me know how it goes.

[@Queenwicky009]

Your little jokes like "that's what she said" are hilarious lol. Loved the video!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

hahaha....glad you liked that little part of the video.

[@babyface22795]

Another great video Paolo! I've never even heard of Kichijoji but it's definitely going on my list of places to visit. I would love for you and Maiko to make a Q&A video so we could learn more about the two of you :) I know I'm not the only one that wants more details about the proposal!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks starling! Yeah, we'll have to do Q&A one of these days.

Awesome! Glad you found the info useful Corina Schiopu!

[@jenniferthedrummer6078]

Love yalls channel hi maiko and paolo!!

[@ThePainitami]

I love your videos Paolo! They're so refreshing to watch and make all of us food lovers go drooling. It'd be really helpful and cool if you could do a video on top 10 or 15 useful/necessary phrases when you're trying to order street food and stuff. Would really appreciate it!

[@StraightUpEats]

Oh, that's a great idea @VengefulPlant! You can definitely get by by just pointing and holding the number of fingers you want of that item. Most of these street food vendors in these areas are used to dealing with foreigners with very little Japanese skill. But knowing how to say certain things would be incredibly useful, like "I don't need it in a bag" or "Can I have extra tissues?" or something like that!

[@ThePainitami]

Yeah learning how to say certain food-related stuff would really ease the journey!

[@paigetaylor4077]

Much appreciated! We'll be there soon and are staying nearby. Thanks!!

[@StraightUpEats]

Oooh, lucky! Try that menchi katsu and let me know how it tasted! That thing looked so good!

[@Castor-ii1sf]

hahaha Bukkake! hilarious. Thanks for sharing. Definitely need to put these places on my list for my next visit.

I grew up in Kichijoji during the 1960s. I went back in 2014 and was amazed at the all of the changes. Now I'll have to go back just for the food!

[@MrJapanApan]

Really? Thats so cool. I have been going to Tokyo for 11 years now and always stay nearby so Kichi is my favorite area in all of Japan. How was it like in the 60s? I can imagine it has changed so much. Any plans to go back? Im going again in one month. :)

[@user-xq9yi2lb3x]

日本人から見てもこのチャンネル大好きだし役立つからありがたい！でも あとせっかく英語で字幕つけたり喋ったりもして外人もいっぱい見てるみたいだから、題名も英語で書いた方が、より多くの外国人がこのチャンネル見つけて見てくれると思う！

[@WhiteStew]

rara 題名が日本語で表示されてるのは、あなたの言語設定がそうなってるからだと思います。ためしにブラウザで開いて右上にあるアイコンから設定に入って、English(US) とかに変えてみて下さい。KZbin ではその設定ごとに表示文章を変えられるので、Paoloさんが日本語設定の場合はこのタイトル、英語設定ならこのタイトルって用意してくれたんだと思います。
