I love that there’s a whole ekiben culture in Japan with different regions having their own ekiben specialties. Even self-heating ekiben. I could easily miss a train shopping in stations like this.

[@elysabethmuliawan9961]

Thank you, Sinichi... You've made my day. Made me realize how beautiful our life is. You have saved my life. I wanted to end my life and then discovered your video and found a strength to eat another bowl of life together with you

[@lbednaz]

Try to get outside and find more beauty and peace! Please talk to someone! People sometimes forget about how their loved ones will suffer after their gone!

[@mavisthoughts9947]

I like how Shinichin was very creative in his new style of his vlog :) I really feel like I am in his head while he was rummaging through these ekiben

[@thomaskkk]

I love these videos where you walk and comment, that represents a tourist walking around the streets basically all the feelings that we miss during these times. I missed that when I traveled to Japan in 2001. Another kudos to your choice of ekiben that was a great choice for tourist or traveller to really taste how unique japanese cousine is.

[@stevendaniel8126]

Poor Shinichi and all his phobias...... Bless his heart.

[@marissacaldeira2098]

Shinichi..watch Midnight Cafe on Netflix. It’s in episodes so you don’t have to watch for hours at a time. I know you don’t watch tv much..but this series is so sweet about the significance of Japanese comfort foods. Enjoy

[@perdomot]

I love walking around this area before going into Higashi Gyoen, my fave park in Japan.

[@Ralesk]

Japanese parkkeeping is something special :)

[@samanthajohnson3368]

2pm in the UK 🇬🇧 but I confess I'm watching this at 5pm as I was working and have to go back to work at 6pm. The trees are beautiful golden colours and the trees in the park that have been trimmed and shaped are spectacular, I love to see traditions kept going.

[@Scriptor13]

What a lovely walk with you, Shinichi. So intimate. So much beauty to take in. And fabulous food as well--so many interesting small bites of Japan. Thank you. I think we are very much alike in many ways. Autumn is my favorite season, as well. The gorgeous colors, the brisk breezes, fewer bugs, and , frankly, fewer people. 😊

[@tamara4557]

I always get an ekiben like this, love the different small dishes. A picnic in autumn in Tokyo is the best! I always enjoy autumn the most, summer is close second. But in the netherlands I think summer is the only season I somewhat enjoy (often too wet and cold throuhgout the year). I'm not really sure how I feel about Tokyo station, perhaps it's because I'm used to that architecture style. In some history books it is said part of the station is modeled after Amsterdam central station.

[@RoTheEvil]

Now I know where to stop as soon as I land in Tokyo 🙂 thanks for making this video! I love sampling different items!

[@paniodradek2900]

A nice little walk on a sunny autumn day, combined with delicious looking food - this was wellness for my eyes and soul after a rather grey and stressful day 🥰

[@kathrinschmidt-ks-wohndesi584]

Such a beautiful park. It was so interesting to hear you talk about the trash situation in Japan. In Gernany there are al lot of trash-bins around in public areas and it is common to put your "on the go trash" in there. For the household trash there is a separate system and it is not allowed here to put trash in private trash-containers. I feel like people in japan are so well behaved and respectful of their environment. Quite some time ago this was the case here too.

[@JunJun-fd1ku]

Love the walk! And the food! Beautiful park with a nice relaxing conversation. Great! Can you talk about living in Japan a little more, like cost of living, renting, eating, cost of travels etc? Appreciate the video. More more more!!

[@beaut-ful-d-saster]

You would probably love the deep sea chowder I make. I use a frozen seafood medley with clams, octopus, squid in it. I also use shrimp. And then there's potato, bacon, corn, celery. and it's made with half and half rather than heavy cream, so it's not so heavy. A great chowder to eat all year round. Warming, filling and comforting.

[@golf_sugar_sugar]

i miss Japan’s walk signal sound ☺️❤️

[@lbednaz]

I would spend hours in the store agonizing over which 1 or 2 to buy!

[@kb16kb]

Oh my gosh! So many ekibens!! I will definitely check them out when I go there!! Thanks for this video…

[@carinacrowe4591]

My boyfriend said he'd love a sake taste test and like an explanation of different kinds! He's determined sake is no good, but I love it!

[@DeeeBaby]

fall and spring are my favorite times...not too hot and not too cold

[@melissadunton3534]

Tokyo is 14hrs ahead of us in Pennsylvania. So 10pm Saturday there is 8am Saturday here. And autumn is my my favorite season as well. I live in the Appalachian mountains here in Pennsylvania, so it’s always beautiful when the leaves change and fall off the trees. Spring is my second favorite, because I love seeing everything coming back to life...regrowth and a fresh start every year. So uplifting! Sorry for three comments. It was a long video. 😂😊🥰

[@carriepadgett2743]

oh my gracious, is it midday lunch hour? lol...I love how cute and nicely packaged everything is in there...so satisfyingly arranged

[@yp636]

I watch while having dinner quite enjoy it , looking forward for my next trip in Japan ❤

[@Nemuimori]

That ekiben looked and sounded delicious!

[@HarpistinJapan]

Rewatching it now!!!!! Yummmmmmmmm💜💜💜💜💜 Bento are literally my fav food, love how there’s abit of everything and it’s like an amazing sampling of Japanese food 🍱

[@lioness77alfar]

Beautiful yellow trees in sunshine .,. But my favorite season is spring after winter it is a blessing to watch everything bloom again, the trees green, it restores ones hope.

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Beautiful. Ditto your feelings about Autumn.

[@plejade4125]

Oh my, this is like a personal fanservice just for me, Ekiben😍 I have three „dishes“ or prepared meals (don‘t know how to say) I‘m addicted to, like crazy. Even looking at them makes me feel happy. Its Ekiben, Osechi-Ryori, and Oden. These thee, oh I watch every tiny captured video I can find about. This my dear, was heaven. I thank you so so much for walking around in that shop, some of the Ekiben I even remember by now but I never had one. It was a pure pleasure to watch, thank you sososososo much, and your choose must be so tasty yumm. It would be one of my fist choose too, I do love just one bite but all different. And that amount of variety is amazing, thanks fot sharing it piece by piece and explain. This way I did learn so many names of dishes and ingredients, it really helps me to learn more and I also try to guess before you say what it it, it‘s fun. One day I will go on a Ekiben diet, not for weight purpose, it‘s for soul purpose, each bite would make me happy😁

[@shubho1955]

Today is Buddha Purnima. Watched the moon with my family, went out in the evening and had fun. It was a good day.

[@Azuki-mochi]

Love this! I've been obsessing over Advent calendars lately and then you show us this lol (except this wouldn't last 24 days!)

[@y-mefarm4249]

I am a country bumpkin. Large crowds really bother me and I am nervous going into large cities. I would of not been able to shop in that Bento store. Especially watching the guy with the guitar case on his back whack somebody upside the back of their head. How you feel about bugs and those lil gnats that fly around in one little area. Is how I feel being in large crowds of people.. yuck. I prefer the gnats. Lol It's nice to see a beautiful park in Tokyo. At least the city folk can go to a beautiful green space and enjoy nature.

[@momonakokeshi6325]

Love the bite sized food. You have a variety of things to eat without stuffing yourself. I wish we had ekiben here. They would to call it busu-ben. 😆

[@elsalisa146]

The parks are beautiful and the ekiben was interesting.

[@beeohel6787]

We call those flies that are in groups midgets Keep up the awesome work love from🇮🇪🍀🤗

[@donrevie721]

Bravo Sinichi Another top class 5-star video just so jam-packed with intuition, sentiment and knowledge and of course great camera skill! You are a KZbin icon.

[@gregritenour9910]

The bugs I can think of that would do what you mentioned shinichi would be gnats. Those bugs are so annoying because they usually fly up my nose or something.

[@Sakana_Ren]

Indeed, I live in northern California, where at least 1 of the streets are lined on both sides with gingko trees. They are especially beautiful in autumn, as the leaves turn from green to yellow.

[@PixelatedH2O]

I always find it fascinating seeing food videos like this. I can't think of anything like ekiben in the United States. We do have boxed meals, but not with the same kind of variety.

[@melissadunton3534]

Don’t know where in the US you live, but recently I found out that I can get bento boxes at the Asian market and Wegman’s grocery store....in their Marketplace/food court area! 😊🥰

[@PixelatedH2O]

@@melissadunton3534 Wegman's is exclusively east coast and I'm on the west coast. There's also only one major Asian supermarket where I live and it's inconvenient for travel. However it's good to know they can be found in the States.

[@bonzolvr]

Fall and spring are my favorite seasons and I LOVE ginkgo 😍😍

[@jstephens2758]

Your bento in the white tray looks like the rock collection from my geology class. I hope they contents are not as hard.

[@LatinaChef1986]

That park was gorgeous and your bento looked delicious! As always you conjure up some magic/charm in your videos. I hope to travel to Japan in the future.

Everything thing you eat looks so good!

[@lowjolin3706]

Hi Shinichi-san! Do take care. Can’t wait to visit Japan again....❤️🇯🇵

[@jodicod3102]

I'm watching some of the older videos and just loving the restful vibe. Everday llife is so wonderful. Thank you for sharing ^_^

[@Iluthra]

Here in the US, many train stations, unlike airports, have no place to eat or buy food. On the trains, they have dining cars but I prefer privacy in my roomette. The snack car never had an attendant. We need these shops with self contained meals at train stations. It must be more a cultural thing.

[@luckyguy71]

That is an interesting bento. I have never seen anything like that before.

[@chezzydibali6311]

They all look delicious. I want 'em all

[@spiritedreviewexc]

it reminds me of Newberry street in Boston, i miss boston ;

I grew up in Cambridge and now live in Western Massachusetts. I miss walking with a purpose everywhere! It took longer waiting for the T than to walk my Father always said.

Nice relaxing video. There actually were 24 items in the bento,in case you were really full!

[@debracantrell1058]

Hi Shinichi how you doing good to see you yes lunch in the park awesome the colors of leaves on the tree beautiful glad you got out today and had a delicious meal stay safe and take care 😘❤️😘🤩🥰

[@stormblaz82]

Amazing, thank you as always, these videos are so interesting to see! Very entertaining to learn and see what bentos they have at the time.

[@tcmken253]

So many choices...Nice video. That's one of the best things about a long train ride in Japan and Korea. Damn rude of the guy with the guitar...literally pushed the kids in line.

[@anonnymouz6826]

[@lynnkihara2323]

The kamameshi video is still my favorite. One of the first things after arriving in Japan is to grab a bento.

[@helvetiqa]

I got the BEST tsukune I have ever had at that ekiben shop!

[@bunnyincloudrecesses9590]

Perth, Australia is same time zone as Singapore, so this video has me craving onigiri as a midnight snack! 😅 These kind of meals with small portions are my absolute fav. I hope to try something similar next time I'm in Japan. Great choice! 👍

[@Mchannnnel]

Such a great video! Love the beautiful weather and eating outside. Thank you

[@LLNTMY]

Thank you for the first person perspective of that ekiben store. Really interesting to see the different sections and all of the different packaging. :)

[@kittyc6440]

Omg, this is the bento of my dreams 😍 I love being able to try small samples of different dishes. I can't believe there was such a huge selection in that one box. Next time I'm in Japan I definitely will seek out assorted ekiben like these! ❤️

[@Christianna73]

So much yum! I loved this video - thank-you!

[@christineschwenker5824]

The bugs are called gnats. They are very annoying. Yummy on your bento 🍱

When u posted this vid it was 8am in Toronto, Ontario Canada. Thank you for sharing. Autumn is my favourite season. Happy to see you doing very well. Sending you good wishes

[@anhw3303]

I love that shop!!

[@catherinebond7474]

Very pretty park. I would love that kind of bento. The bugs are probably gnats and they are very annoying. Loved the Okinawa videos and look forward to the future ones.

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Thanks for the experience very nice choice of Bento 😯 and what a selection. Delish 💋👌 Good to know the people take their rubbish 🗑 home, it's good habit to learn. Great idea Shinichi, looking for picnic areas with table seating.

[@marissacaldeira2098]

That bento is fabulous and so fun to eat!!!

[@KitsuneHB]

I like.. no, love! autumn too. :) I love all the colours of the trees, the food and it isn't so hot anymore. I saw some yellow ginkgo leaves today too when I was going for my grocery shopping. But I have no idea where the tree stands. :D Must be in some of the gardens here in my neighbourhood.

[@melissadunton3534]

My favorite bento meal was at a Japanese restaurant my son and I would go to once a month for a mommy & son date. We usually went for dinner, at which time the restaurant had a sushi chef that came in and you could get the best sushi. One day we went for lunch and and we got bentos. They served a hot tea that had a slight cinnamon taste to it..was the best tea I’ve ever had and since I didn’t ask the name of it, I’ve never had it since. 😐 But I agree, hot tea with bento...weather it’s hot or cold bento....tea is the best. And miso soup! I always get miso soup to accompany my bentos...my two favorite Japanese cuisines are sushi/sashimi and miso soup. ✌🏻🥰😊

[@peachesto6643]

I really enjoyed watching yr Okinawa series. The editing was very well done 👍🪴🏝

[@SloganMotion]

I love this new style! Love to see the urban areas like stations and shops! Did you get a new camera? The lighting is good!

[@big120treez]

Shinichi, I know I am late to this video but I just wanted to comment in the pretty Ginkgo. You mentioned needing to mentally concentrate. Here, in America, I can remember my Dad and my GrandDad taking ginkgo for mental clarity and to help with concentration. Do you guys take it as a supplement there as well? I am sure Japan is where we, in the west, borrow the practice from. Nice video. I think going to Tokyo station for bento is a great idea. So many yummy and ready to eat options. 🍱🍵

[@bookiemeow173]

Mhh. 24 little tasty samples of Japanese food, sitting in a park on a beautiful day. If this is not close to heaven...? Who cares about ants? They just do their job, and it is part of nature life. But, of course, I understand if someone has a problem with all these little ones crawling around. They can be annoying... So I had the idea: Why don't you create an interactive map of all picnic areas/tables/sites in Tokyo? Wouldn't that be a great thing to have? You could sell it as an app for Apple/Android. Starting with your neighbourhood, expanding to Greater Tokyo and then the whole of Japan? I am always enjoying all your videos - on all of your channels. Thank you so much 💖💖

[@davidmar442]

I wonder what happens to leftover ekiben at the end of the day ?!?!?❤️😃

[@restaurantman]

In my experience, Ekiben always sell out. Analytics are used to determine how many to prepare each day. Sometimes, Ekiben will be discounted towards the end of each the day and this encourages consumers to buy - resulting in few (if any) being left unsold.

[@preciousbutik]

We are the same. I like tiny bites of many different foods. I also bought the similar one when in Fukuoka, it had 16 little boxes, and i loved it. Btw, i saw the trees with a seating area when u came out of the station, would we be allowed to sit and eat there?
