[@7for744]

Maiko's top ten?

[@Crazycatladytraveler]

Is the first one vegetarian??

[@user-np5kc7mv9z]

Amazing！

[@AllenCenteno]

Paolo fromTOKYO have a carbonara in Rome, you’ll drop your jaw. ✌🏼😁

[@gordonlee7428]

Pronounced Woo-Ster shire

[@Lucky-qv3nq]

Here in America you have to be half crazy to eat food from convenience stores, when I visited Kyoto and Osaka I was extremely surprised of the quality of their food for such little price, another great video 👍

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Alberto.

[@linger368]

Many other Asian countries have much more food in convenience stores compared to convenience stores from other areas, though Japan is still at the top.

[@alexquyenvo5196]

"Half crazy", not "whole" haha... Love your sense of humor ! And yes, I wouldn't care less about food at those places in the U.S, you eat it for survival haha... Sometimes I rather die than eat those honestly haha...

[@mrcyflft]

Maiko’s amazing ability to converse from Japanese to mix-kine to English within milliseconds is so cool when she is presenting her parts...always “itadakimasu” ✨🤙🏼✨ (both of you make such a great combination when reviewing foods...always sincere & always uninhibited reactions...)

[@JJC2611]

Thanks. I was wondering what she was saying.

[@colinmartin9797]

As a paramedic in America, this makes me so jealous that your convenience stores sell.... Food. The closest thing to food in a gas station here is over salted sunflower seeds and a banana. And no healthy drinks other than coffee and water. Are these kinds of convenience store usually open through the night?

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

yeah, 24/7! So convenient.

[@mrnukes797]

All my 7-11 has is hot dogs, pretzels and pizza

[@GitHubStiizz]

Matt Gales America bro.... my 7-11 always be out of hotdogs and their nacho cheese smh 🤦‍♂️

[@kingcobrajfsofficial]

Seems like you could have left out the paramedic part.

[@Aegean541]

@@kingcobrajfsofficial hahaha fr what an unnecessary humble brag who cares if you're a paramedic at least mention it when it makes sense

[@MrIvanGino]

Maiko here reminds me of Bulma from DragonBall Z

[@TheDoouap]

And Paolo is Vegeta or Yamcha?

[@nguyenphamkhoi3012]

:))) Paolo as young Master Roshi then :)))

[@user-lb1fj8pg6e]

似てるね

[@nakama-tachivideo.official998]

@@TheDoouap ofc he as vegeta and their son is trunks

[@Oscar-hg1nj]

*Pan* also means bread in Spanish

[@liizzset]

Oscar Antonio Yup

[@Hadrexus]

If I'm not mistaken the word Pan in japanese came from the Portuguese "pão" which was probably "pan" back in the 1500s. Just reminding that the Portuguese were the first europeans to come in contact with Japan, that's why I think it's from them and not from Spanish.

[@MarcoCaifan87]

Caolho, o Pirata you are correct

[@poi7740]

it’s pronounced almost the same way in french, but spelled as “pain”. must be the latin roots!

[@YEBISU38]

Thank you for another great video! What I like most about you, Paolo and Maiko, is your positive attitude to everything even when you don't really like them, and being honest with us about it. You guys are someone I would've liked to meet in high school and keep in touch through my life. ^^

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

That's nice of you to say. I'll share this with Maiko. Thanks for watching.

[@brianrobichaud9482]

You're so happy and positive in your videos, I love it. Great channel! Never change. :)

[@arrankambo3665]

i just discovered Paolo and im currently binging all Paolo content :D. I hope you do more "day in the life" i loved the mangaka one. I hope he does more around the mangaka industry

[@miltonmercade]

Maiko is so funny! "How did you hold it? You have like an iron hand." haha

[@JHNY814]

Maiko’s blue hair 😍

[@aquilaot]

Love the guy/girl point of view. I want to visit and your videos are great for tourist.

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Sema. I hope you can visit sooner than later.

[@elicarrotsboo]

I just found your channel and I’m marathoning all of your videos! You have an amazingly bright personality and the content is definitely top notch and very interesting to watch. Keep up the good work!!

[@mariaeduardanunes5843]

I love the way she gets surprised with the food

[@AmandaPanda1966]

She's adorable!!

[@albiewong]

OMG WOW Amazing Blue Hair!! And I can't wait till I get to Tokyo to try that Daily Fried Chicken! And ALL the others!! Great idea!! Thanks..

[@daniellemack5648]

Paolo! Today I tried a kimchi onigiri with spam and seaweed at a local farmers market in Arlington, Virginia! I was so excited to see a taste of Japan right here on my way home from work! After watching so many of your videos I HAD to try it! They are SO GOOD!! Thank you!!

[@scottgibson807]

I love love love the sandwiches from the convenience stores. So delicious and fresh. And some chip star!

[@js8987]

It is so amazing that Japan convenience stores has so many options and the food is delicious !

[@jenadivina7960]

I think I'm gonna get all my breakfast from the convenience store. Aaaah so excited to go back to Japan this week! Thank you for this video Paolo and Maiko!

Paolo, I love your videos and binge on them DAILY! My 2019 goal is to take a 2-week visit to Japan. Thank you for giving me places to visit and things to do when I get there! I'm going to get my Ja-"pan" t-shirt ASAP!

[@davidjones3165]

Just curious if you reached your goal or not?

[@paulieoraye9507]

Love it so much. You are Awesome. God bless. So amusingly enjoyable to watch.

[@Shortlady82]

Tried chicken kaarage for the first time today and I looooved it!!!

[@cheryl8466]

I know I'm late on this video. But I absolutely LOVE this because, I feel like everything you picked is still very familiar to people visiting from the states. I could enjoy every single one of these.

[@chiyopipi5672]

when we visited Japan we'd get our lunches from their konbini and I was so surprised at how fresh everything always looked, we basically lived off onigiri since it's cheap and portable

[@chloeeng6811]

Affordable

[@francisinghels9765]

very nice vlog, a lot of informations...buy food before shops will close...discount!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Thanks Francis. That strategy works well at supermarkets.

[@petrinagana4876]

Watching this in the pandemic and just imagining myself in Japan eating konbini food huhu thank you Paolo and Maiko

[@annjj2167]

Both of you guys are super AMAZING! Thank you so much for the yummy food quest! Can't wait to try them soon!

You've definitely inspired me to be more adventurous the next time I'm in Tokyo. I love, love, love conbinis andI usually focus on the sweet stuff and the onigiri of course! But I have to step up my game now!!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Game on!

[@henrymatos9551]

Maybe an update version of this! Very entertaining! All looked so good and delicious!

I envy the convenience store in Japan like Lawson or Family Mart have so many delicious food to buy ...yummy

[@Eulsam_FZ]

The carbonara was my go to for dinner of I didn't want to cook. Gyoza from 7/11 is pretty good too. Also, I only found it in the south, but the blueberry jam and cream cheese sandwiches just reminded me of my childhood

[@senpintravelsandmore]

Good and affordable for budget travellers, thank you.

I lived in Tokyo December 1963 to September 1967. I am so jealous the fast food industry has become so good and plentiful! My only consolation is that a restaurant nearby my school would bring two bowls of tori curry and rice on a bicycle. My delivery guy would joke that he couldn't believe I wanted to each day from Monday through Saturday. At 78, I still dream about those two servings once in a while. But you got Tonkatsu sandwiches! I am so jealous. To me Tonkatsu is the primo dishes of Japan. Thank you for this greet video!

[@Arcanknight]

I admit, I was distracted with this vid. Love your food commentaries. Keep it up!

[@soraya4890]

Omg..i wish to have convenient store like that so jealous..and hungry right now !

[@southernbelle4444ify]

I am going to Japan for 3 weeks soon and was panicking after your video about finishing a restaurant meal and no doggy bags. Then I found this lifesaver. Hallelujah! I thought I was gonna starve. I'll be living on fried chicken and carbonara now, with a healthy dose of ramen. I wish you could know how relieved I am! All my thanks...you just made me very happy.

Even if the videos are 4 years old, they are so good. A good time killer when in hospital.

Your favorite word...."Freaking!!" Lol! Supermarkets here in NY or in the U.S. are nothing like ones in Japan.... I wish I were in Japan. All those food looked amazing!! They're heavenly place for those who can't cook or hate cooking or too busy...no time to cook! Boy! MENCHI KATSU looked great! There was a little shop near our house in Tokyo when I was little & once in a while mom bought a fresh, just fried MENCHI KATSU & it was so delicious as it was still warm & so crispy!!! I miss that... All of food looked FREAKING good!!!!! lol!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

the convenience stores are just so super convenient over here. They have everything as you found out.

[@jjl6438]

Was it easy to stay on budget whilst eating mostly from a kobini?

[@bomenorange.]

Another reason not to visit Japan on a small budget, it’s gonna be once in a life time so make it fancy.

[@jjl6438]

Bomen Orange yes you’re right. I am going next week and it’s likely once in a lifetime...sad but I’m from the U.K. so it’s pricey...I’m excited!!!

[@lemonade-os1rj]

Can i ask how much did you think you spend for the trip and how many days that took you.. im planning on going for a anniversary of my parents and im saving up so i just need a idea hehe tnks
