VENDING MACHINES Food Haul in Niigata, Japan - Eric Meal Time

[@territerrific7844]

Restaurant vending machines is such a great idea. Sometimes you're not in the mood for crowds or maybe you're in a rush to get home and watch your favorite tv show. Perfect solution.

[@Christopher-ii6tr]

It would be nice because that would mean less Food Store shopping.

[@seoulzenpictures3242]

I love your vending machine vlogs! As if I am there too, you are so thorough with your descriptions of the special variety you bring home to try. Very impressive haul! Thanks for sharing with me 😀

[@homer9561]

Love that you’re supporting the local shops, that fish broth soup looked amazing

[@Mistral434]

Being able to try different areas of Japan within Tokyo is really a fantastic idea. I know people who will literally go to Japan just to eat the wonderful food. Time isn't on their side in terms of visiting all around the country, so this is just remarkable. I hope they keep expanding these vending machines! Far more affordable than opening up another restaurant and finding out that it may or may not do so hot there.

[@ttfdfire162]

I think its awesome how some restaurants have vending machines selling meals

[@mikekinne4721]

Love the content and you our take on the food.

[@patchesohoulihan9826]

Crazy to think that at one point in the States, you could get a complete meal hot or cold from a machine. Someone did open one or two up a few years back but the usual issues caused it to close. Theft and people acting like it was bad food. Went to one when I was a kid while on our 8th grade class trip. Got a cheeseburger with fries and the fries were crispy and hot and the cheeseburger was great. Probably loved it more due to coming from a machine.

[@killer-bee]

自販機があると営業時間外でもレストランが提供する食事を食べられるので良いですよ。 Vending machines are a good way to eat meals provided by the restaurant even after business hours.

[@themini_b]

If only we could trust people more here in the states that we could have things like this. I'd love to have decent quality food at a decent price from a vending machine.

[@VerhoevenSimon]

A love of superb treats, especially the pumpkin pounded rice one and the end looked marvelous.

[@tiffanyweldon4404]

I would love to travel Japan one day. From these and the other videos I watch it is such a beautiful country. Thank you Eric for another awesome video!!

[@kyleh3012]

What a great selection and enjoyable video. I love when Eric brings us into his home, it's super chill and comforting.

[@arieldixon5305]

This made me want ramen so bad! We need these in America!

[@nuck-]

They'd just get destroyed/robbed/vandalized in USA.

[@carols3517]

Glad you had a good meal! You're starting a craze Eric. Visitors to Japan are leaving their hotel rooms in search of vending machines! "Love me some brownies,"so cute

[@coelhinhodapascoa5712]

This round of vending machines food & sake looked really special. Amazing how the japanese succeed in combining convenience and quality

[@gravellane150]

That curry and naan is making me want to give it all up and find that machine

[@thomaswilleford9136]

Watching your show makes me want to experience everything Japan thank you for this being my new favorite program can't wait to watch the next one

[@REDNECKOUTDOORS88]

I woke up in such a depressed mood. This video has helped me out so much. Thank you for another great video Eric. Can't wait for the next one.

[@jstokes57]

I've done a fair amount of traveling, retired Air Force. Sampling local cuisine is always a treat and an experience!

[@ericsurf6]

Sampling local cuisine is such a treat~!

[@jenniferrose663]

I absolutely love Japanese culture and culinary delights. Hopefully, I'll make it to Japan one day.

[@samueltorres767]

Thank you for sharing your content. This gives people like myself who are not familiar with the way things are in other countries an insight of what life is like. Thank you for that experience!

[@Eppu63]

That is exactly why I follow Eric´s channel.

[@samueltorres767]

@@Eppu63 that’s why I started watching his channel. I really enjoy his content.

[@johnrandle5141]

It’s amazing how Japan has revolutionized the vending machine world! Embracing fresh and unique blends of cuisine throughout the country. What I like to see is the “mom & pop” places being represented! Way to go JAPAN!! “Eat a duck and mouse”!!! #teamgetsome

[@OGFox-fp1hb]

Not exactly sure when one of your videos was recommended to me, this past year, but I'm very happy that it did!!! Myself and my spouse have been watching many of your videos, thank you for putting your awesome videos up! :)

[@Razzy316]

I really do want to try these vending machines out some day. Congrats to whoever wins a snack kit!

[@garygiller8558]

I love the sake vending machines. So many to choose from! Also I just love watching the other variety vending machine segments, and what you find. Eric … can you try hitting some more ethnic restaurants? I love those segments too.

[@mtclemmons]

Eric - you provide more travel content than most supposed travel channels. Appreciate all you do. Keep it up.

[@Undici]

My favourite kind of video, vending machine videos! Looking at that haul, I can tell it tastes better than a lot of food I've had in restaurants, if only they were available in my neighborhood, haha! :D

[@Eppu63]

Exactly! We don´t have those in Finland - and never will. First of all our 'great future - the young' would break every one of them!

[@deniseg6023]

I love how Japanese desserts are not too sweet

[@jamiegnosis4876]

Very unique items this time around! As always, my mouth is watering! Thanks for traveling so far to show us these vending machines🤙

[@Tygerlander]

Just when I thought I couldn't be any more impressed with the food vending machine varieties in Japan, this episode blows the rest out the ball park. Best episode ever! :D

[@gregkatayama9936]

Great selection of vending machines, I enjoyed the sake tasting shop, what a great way to sample sake and pick your favorite.

[@michellek4639]

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! Your genuine reactions and especially your enthusiasm are just a few of the reasons why I love watching your videos 🤗

[@ericsurf6]

I'm always excited to try new vending machines food Michelle! Thanks!

[@simsy57]

Great video. Love to see some fall favorites of Japan. Love to see u re visit some places like the all u can eat pizza 🍕

[@Christi-Ann.Pierantoni]

It’s nice to see that they’re branching out with their vending machine selections. I’m loving the variety!❤

[@jeremybiwer8756]

Oh yes, such lovely selections. The small stores expanding with vending machines.

[@MrMEROSOL]

Thank you so much. I love the idea of small restaurants having a vending machine of their food out in front of their place. I wish they'd do this in the USA

[@davidtowne1196]

Eric, thanks for traveling so far to show us the delicious food you found. The variety is incredible and the quality amazing.

[@LiLBratton83]

Always love watching your videos!! Had surgery 2 weeks ago and I have been re watching a lot of your old videos to pass the time. I look forward to you putting out new ones every 3 days 😊 #teamgetsome

[@kellyellis5136]

Awesome video!!! I love when you go to the vending machines. I always wonder what you are going to pick

[@lydiapittman7976]

Good Morning from Texas! I love your vending machine videos. Everything looked amazing. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. They always brighten my day 🙂.

[@williamrhall376]

good morning to you from Alabama

[@tonyaseilhan3395]

Oh my! Everything looked amazing.. think that is probably the most sweets I've seen you eat at one time lol.

[@jackiejenkins4078]

Wow, great selection of machines! I love the ready made meal machines and the fact that you can get extra sides to customize your meal. Everything looked so delicious! 😛

[@teresagoodwin7522]

What a Great find! It all looked amazing. Thank you Ericsurf6 for sharing your experience!

[@breanahefner380]

I have watched you since your first video. I love your videos. You inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and try new foods. Please never stop posting can't wait for the next one!!!

[@terryknill3004]

It all looked good! It’s really amazing that you can find suck yummy food in vending machines. We don’t have anything like that in the USA. Thanks for showing us all the different things offered.

[@joseph310]

Really great to see businesses doing this. What great looking food as well.

[@dstubeaudio986]

Thanks for another awesome video. You've inspired my wife and I to be more adventurous with our eating habits. We went to our first authentic Japanese restaurant this afternoon. We loved it. Thanks again my friend.

[@ericsurf6]

Definitely like to change up my eating habits! It expands the palate!

[@1969weirdal]

The sake looked so good. I'm amazed at the diversity in Japan's vending machines. Sooooo much good food and unusual items. I wanna try a Bento box one day....yum

[@CoriRenae]

Great video! I love your hat🤗It’s really great to see support of other KZbinrs. Pretty awesome!!!! ❤

[@Tokyodrew]

I agree lol

[@ramonahaubrich]

All that food looked delicious. It's Amazing what Japan does with vending machines and how the Mom and Pop shops are participating. This way if you don't have the time to dine in you can always take it home.

[@flicksforfans133]

True class - not unlike vending machine loving Eric himself - when they count the change and instead of slamming it into your hand they gracefully put it into the tray.

[@cathydouglas5961]

I love to see what you get in each one!! I live in a very small town of Arkansas and we don’t have any vending machines that sell food mostly just soda drinks and water!! Love your Adventure to other places to find cool machines!

[@amydee7064]

You and the things you say, you crack me up. Thank you for traveling far and wide to share things (especially vending machines😉) in your neck of the woods, it's appreciated. We have a few local international stores and that's about the extent of what we can experience locally. Thanks again for another awesome vending machine video.

[@ryanr8979]

I loved this one all about the mom and pops I miss the beard a little but still love watching all your videos I think u should run a tour for tourist to goto places like this and bring them with u on your good time tell the kid and wife we love them to ill be watching for the next one keep up the good work

[@SecretOfMyWorld]

Would you say any of this food was bussin'? The curry vending machine looked super interesting, I would love to try the Sri Lankan curry! Japan is amazing. Wow!

[@stephannieduran2]

Omg 🤤 yum!!!! Ive never had japanese food but watching all you eat makes me want it all!!!!

[@j.tkimonogirl6034]

OMG my mouth was watering like crazy, watching you eat my favorites- Ramen, Daifuku, Curry, Amazake. Love the vending machine variety. Missing Japan so much.

[@yasminkandiguranis3658]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video Eric! My husband and I watch all your food vids. Keep up the great work! -James & Yaz from San Diego, Ca

[@MzzzNettie]

My daughter lives in Niigata!!! I'm going to send her this video so we can check some of these out when ever I finally make it out there for a visit!

[@Tastychronicles]

Vending machine food haul in Niigata. I love it. Love the wide variety of food selections.

[@laraq07]

Great assortment of goodies. I haven't had Japanese curry in a while. Maybe I'll make a batch after Thanksgiving (Canada). Thanks for the inspiration.

[@brandikleinpeter9654]

Love watching your videos. Got to meet you one day me and my husband travel to Japan. Thank you for the awesome videos.

[@justinmobley4879]

The way you show case and describe all of the different types of food. Makes me wish the states would adopt more of the japans culture. Just so that I could as well venture out and try stuff like you.

[@cherylharter5368]

Really enjoyed seeing the different types of food from this region, and the samples of so many kinds of saki was amazing. Good job with this video! 👍👍👍

[@livethesmokey1]

I love your videos been watching older ones I missed or rewatch them be safe out there

[@gmex77]

So glad you went to Niigata - I had the opportunity to go to that same Sake 'museum' when I visited last time - Get Some!

[@stephansleigh1263]

One of my biggest dreams is to travel to Japan and try some of the awesome vending machines there especially loved the Saki one😋

[@dabunnyman9133]

The vending machines outside restaurants are becoming more & more exotic. And providing you with many varied courses in a video meal.

[@deewells79]

It all looked so good!!! My microwave sausage biscuits for lunch just didn't hit the spot while watching you eat all of this wonderful looking vending machine food. 😂Thanks for going the extra mile to deliver the best vending foods you can find!

[@tinsley7850]

When I was little, I used to go to my Mom’s friend’s house after school & she was from Sri Lanka originally. She was the best cook ever! She always had Sri Lankan food on the hobs. I can imagine how wonderful your curry was. Even if you’re not hungry, the smell of Sri Lankan food makes you crave it!

[@sharonpetty]

These Japanese restaurant's setting vending machines outside their doors. Reminds me of a quick way to get some great take away. Without having to wait in a drive thru line. Love it. Everything looked so appetizing. Another great vending haul.

[@ericsurf6]

Yeah, these new 24 hour machines are popping up everywhere.

[@sharonpetty]

@@ericsurf6 Sounds very exciting. Which means many more vending machine video's to come. More adventures to look forward to watching.

[@gerlfrend52]

Once again you go above and beyond thank you Eric for all that you do for us. You've opened my eyes to cuisine for mother Nations

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCysts]

Oh, I haven't thought of Sri Lankan curry in ages: it used to be my favourite dish to eat when dipping my toes into the food scene in Toronto in the late 70's-early 80's. I do remember loving it a lot. I think I need to try that sake machine to truly find one that I enjoy. At least that'd be an excuse for overindulging 😂 This was an epic mealtime, Eric. It's so hard to pick a favourite. I can find incredible daifuku here in St. Catharines which took me by surprise. Actually, I have to say each item you bought to try was incredible. Vending machines are so common in Japan, yet I'm still in awe every time I'm introduced to a new one; can't wait to try these for myself! Cheers from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 Take care of yourself Eric. PS: I'm still taking the stairs now every time I see them. I think I take them 85% of the time now. Great tip.

[@lauries5560]

The food in the vending machines there look better than restaurants here in Michigan! Wow!

[@Tipper1941]

Delicious looking selection. The cat paw was adorable.🐈🐈🐈❤️

[@Valmtg]

This was an amazing feast! That stewed beef looked really really rich and looks like it would be great over rice, noodles, or just with a good piece of bread. GET SOME!

[@jonwashburn7999]

That Sake tasting thing looks great. The take away aspect of these machines is fantastic.

[@c3po626]

That's why i love mom and pop shops Eric, they offer better quality food, but at a very good price. Plus you can tell the pure love, that is put into each and every meal that is crafted. It's a true art form, that people seem to shortcut too much for automation and time crunches. It's where food quality these days slip so downhill, that not very many know what true food made with love tastes like.

[@tomokotomoko]

Yay! Everything is from Vending Machines! 👀😃👏 I want to eat the Daifuku! 😋 I'm going to take a vending machine tour video in Nagoya next week! 💪

[@60frederick]

Niigata is very famous for very good sake.... Have you ever tried sake with Gold leafs? It is saled in Kanazawa, Ishikawa, which I have visited several times (school, Kenrokuen, eg..). Thank you very much, Eric, for sharing your wonderful documentary video with us.

[@JaredBish1]

I would love to try the sake tasting. And love the music accompanying the 6 Eric Heads rating!

[@noraaltemeier8364]

Come get some!!! So cool you travel around Japan and review different foods.

[@geejay9398]

TWO, 6 ERIC HEADS IN A ROW!!!. This one was awesome. Lots of greatness in these machines. I will try those Everyburger one day. Lol.

[@shinjikagawa6575]

Niigata had some nice vending machines. Would try it all 😃

It's always nice to experience new things, luckily there's plenty for you to try and share with us! Have a good weekend, Eric!

I like warm Saki. Not chilled. Thankyou for your channel. It's a refreshing variety.😎🏜❤

[@restaurantman]

Lower grade Sake can be served warm to remove harsh flavors. Premium Sake is served chilled or at room temperature to highlight their more complex flavors and aromas.

[@underthetornado]

@@restaurantman good to know. I misspelled Sake oops. I'm a retired chef but no nothing about Sake.
