Dear John, my family and I are really enjoying the latest run of Only in Japan so far, please keep up the good work. We love the wide range of subjects explored too!

[@xendon]

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

That would be frickin awesome! Hopefully that'll happen if I keep it up :) thanks for the comment! I'm psyched! -john

[@stfn112]

Love this channel. Great videos.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thank you, stfn112! -john

[@ldodom]

I love the idea of eating right off the grill.

[@AstroLean]

Im visiting Japan in a week i think im soo exited your channel inspired me to go ill also vlog there!

[@asuganoir6951]

Looking forward to your new video, the more I watch the more I want to visit Japan! Especially for the manga cafes! From the US

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Those manga cafes rock! Thanks Chris! New one coming out next week. -John

[@stahchild]

Why do you not have a television series? I've been watching all your videos and you make me want to visit Japan so bad. Japan has never been on my travel list, now it is. Keep up the great work, your videos are very entertaining to watch.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thanks! I'm thrilled to just be here on KZbin. So happy for the support and I really appreciate you taking the time to watch other episodes :) -John

[@ediinatiion]

Hi john! nice video! super quality and great cooking skills! :D

[@cococandy9753]

i like your videos! i like how you put depth information on each of your show & interview other people too!

[@PB33F]

YES!!!!! Ive been waiting forever for you to post more vids!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Wait no longer! haha! Thanks for the support. -John

[@Dudemi]

That looked really good :) And you made it quite nice with a little help ;D I have watched few of your videos and i must say that these have been good. And big plus for the subtitles.

[@kiwnk]

Spent the last hour after watching this trying to find a restaurant in Melbourne that makes Okonomiyaki like this, but I think we only have the Osaka style here. Now I'm just sad and hungry!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Daniel B If you can find the sauce, you're most of the way there! The recipe for the Osaka version is quite easy. Many Asian stores have the sauce. You may even be able to get the nori seaweed flakes and dried fish flakes mail order! Usually takes about 10 min to make one on a fry pan :) Maybe you'll have people lining up outside your door when the heavenly smell hits the air! -John

[@callmewaves1160]

ONLY in JAPAN just want to say, I love how you run your channel. You handle the haters gracefully as well as always having fun, engaging content that is also respectful.

[@jeneralgod]

i miss Melbourne food :(

[@yungebola5524]

amen bruh. I've been fiending for some Hiroshima style okonomiyaki ever since I tried it right there at the mura in 2017. It's taken many disappointing (but still decent) meals to learn that Hiroshima does okonomiyaki their own special way

[@boy638]

I wonder if it was invented by college students just mixing all the leftovers into one easy-to-eat pizza thingy lol

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

I believe it was made with leftover of batter, seafood and cabbage only after the war. I used to live in Hiroshima and this is what someone told me way back in 1999. That's a good questions and I'll research it when I go back! -John

[@HuongNguyen-pd3lz]

+ONLY in JAPAN wow

[@fanwu6939]

ONLY in JAPAN wow

[@mopspugcarlin]

+ONLY in JAPAN wow

[@thesheridans4392]

John the Bizarre Food's host had this on this week. You are correct. People didn't have a lot to eat after the war so the Chef's used table scraps and came up with Okonomiyaki, a pizza, omelet, pancake all in one! We are moving to Japan in July! So Excited.

[@RinaZest]

Yet another amazing video!! Can't wait for the next video! Looking forward to it!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

We try an eating challenge in the next episode -- the world's biggest gyoza! lol Editing it now. I posted some photos on our Facebook page: facebook.com/onlyinjapantv Thank you Dyjonn! -John

[@Jasonreby]

im in pure love with you, you make the sweetest videos, i just cant hold in MY EXCITEMENT TOWARDS THIS AMAZING CHANNEL!!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thanks a million, jasonreb123! Hope I can keep it super exciting for another year ... and beyond! -John

[@SLACKPLAN9]

I LOVE Japan! I was there in the USAF for 4 years, and I went back to visit Tokyo for 10 days in 2010. I graduated from Film/TV school (A trade school, not University), and personally would love to do things like this. Your works are top notch.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

SLACKPLAN9 Thank you for watching! It's great to know more candidates aiming for Film/TV! Please also check out some of John's new episodes as well! -WAORYU staff

[@mjbitz]

YESSSSSSSSS! NEW VID! THANK YOU! THIS SERIOUSLY MOTIVATES ME TO CONTINUE LEARNING JAPANESE WHEN I WANT TO GIVE UP! NEVER STOP MAKING YOUR AWESOME VIDEOS! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!

[@Usmodlover]

Interesting bit of info, people of African ancestry tend to have a more thorough and easier understanding of Japanese.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thank you, mjbitz! You rock! Don't give up learning Japanese! I'll keeping making videos as much as I can. -John

[@mjbitz]

Usmodlover Oh wow! That is interesting! Do you know why that is exactly?

[@mjbitz]

WAORYU ONLYinJAPAN Thanks! Ok! I eagerly look forward to them! :D

[@Usmodlover]

mjbitz I think it may be as simple as similarities between African languages and Japanese in terms of pronunciation, etc.Often on Japanese television for example, there will be an African-American guy on a game show or whatever and he will speak immaculate Japanese.

[@amzn8122]

omg finnaly! =] the waiting was worth it!! hey john! :D , keep making these video's. i enjoy every single of them !

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thank you, can pinar! I hope every episode can hold its own. I'm editing the next episode now ... a Japanese eating challenege with the world's largest gyoza dumpling! Should be out shortly. I posted some photos on the Facebook page: facebook.com/onlyinjapantv -John

[@TheModernRiot]

Oh my mother would be delighted to have a taste of Japan again after all these years... Cheers from Chicago!

[@coconutcake5178]

Just discovered your channel. The only drawback is that I can't join you. This is making me so hungry! You are so lucky!

[@FingersPlainview]

LOVE the videos!-This one made me especially hungry for the dish and to travel to Japan! All the best to you John!

[@Cutie_Chik]

Man I could totally eat one right now. I think your videos are fantastic!

[@TheNails3]

Wow you rocked this! Very impressive. So much negi is added at the end!

[@meta-morph6146]

hi i'm from morocco and i love japan very much and i like your videos so much :) still waiting for the new video :)

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thank you for the nice comment, drawing manga! Morocco is an awesome place! Glad the show is watched over there too :) I'm producing the next show this week and hope it's available in a couple of weeks. -John

[@meta-morph6146]

[@fatima_I]

That was fun watching. Can't wait for your next video.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thank you, Sakura! It should be out soon. I'm editing it right now. I post updates here: facebook.com/onlyinjapantv can't wait to film the next one!! -John

[@jamestown4867]

Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. By far the best okonomiyaki.

[@hilaryjoseph9706]

Japanese culture is my favorite of the whole wide world!!! And I'm from the caribbean!!

[@studybunnyren]

Yay! thanks for the upload :p . I noticed that they didn't mash everything up, so it was great to have you explain why! tyty!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Right!! That would be the Osaka version where it is mixed. The Tokyo version called Monja-yaki does some mashing ... looks bad, tastes good! -John

[@unaanguila]

Thanks for sharing! It was really interesting and funny to watch. Even now I want to eat something yummy.

[@selami32]

great video, John. thanks.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thanks, selami32! -John

[@ccap012]

Nice, welcome back!

[@Slightlyevil]

I would love to visit Japan, everything feels so personal and fun.

[@thechump10]

My god that looks amazing.

[@ThatOneSceneDude]

YES a new video! :D keep em up!

[@CaptRicoSakara]

You can make okonomiyaki sauce, using ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Came out tangy and great! I'm having it on a "Okonomiyaki Omelette" pancake made using just 4 bacon strips made into a ring, and green onions & egg in the center. Tastes great! =3

[@georgia556]

CaptRicoSakaraPrower thanks all have to try it out!!!

[@marianagauss94]

Your videos are great! Keep on going 😊

[@albinorabe9409]

I've been to this place yesterday - was super delicious! Thanks for recommending it!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Awesome!! The owner of Shinchan is in a lot of photos from viewers of the show! A viewer sent me a photo with him in January. He changed his hair! (Really a very nice guy who let me film this with him. He didn't have to do that.) Love the feedback. THANK YOU!! -John

[@jsmcnally22]

I love watching your videos, John. I hope to be able to visit Japan someday. Maybe you could show me around, lol.

[@VTnumb]

This is making me hungry!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Me too! Again! lol -john

[@realiionisreal2346]

i discovered ur a little too late. but thank god i found it . thanks john for every video and hope i can meet you in real life when i travel the world.

I love how educational all of your videos are and its so cool u got a cooking lesson with a chef that's so coo.l great channel!!! You make me wanna go on vacation in japan. :)

[@killersushi99]

I married a Hiroshima girl! We all ways get Okonomoyaki when we visit home. OSHIIII!!!! Good job on the flip!!!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Hiroshima gals are amazing! You found a good one for sure if she's taking you to okonomiyaki places -- it's soooo good!! Thank you!! You know it's not the easiest flip ;) -John

[@laurengarner7911]

I've had to watch a bunch of these while eating gyoza dumplings. It's the only way to stop yourself from immediately flying to Japan

[@Lugmillord]

That's one the japanese foods I want to try the most. There is soooo much nice stuff in it.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Yes! The Hiroshima version is definitely packed with good stuff! So many different varieties too. Vegetarians can also get one without any meat on request. Me? Load it up with seafood! Hiroshima's is the best. -John

[@Lugmillord]

ONLY in JAPAN Okonomiyaki with seafood? Man, you are making me even more jealous ;P

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Ahora, con subtítulos en español ! #Japon #comidasana #comida

[@vampyrikus]

WAORYU ONLYinJAPAN When you reference local money. Any chance you could sub US dollar equivalent? Thanks ; ) P.S. your videos are Great!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Thank you for watching the show, Sand Man ! Well, thought of putting it at first, but all of a sudden the exchange rate changed rapidly, while around 2013, 1$=90yen. 2014 1$=100yen, 2015 1$=120yen, so it was pretty difficult to predict what the equivalent is! Surely more difficult to predict what it will be next year - WAORYU staff

[@vampyrikus]

Gotcha. That makes perfect sense. Thanks for the reply. Keep the Awesome Japanese videos coming. You have a subscriber for life!! ; )

[@nickfernandez7358]

WAORYU ONLYinJAPAN Wait you say Japan in spanish as Japon? lol i never knew that

[@ItsJoshHarlow]

+Nick Fernandez yes but it's pronounced Ha-pon

[@micahgrace7057]

You are truly funny John! The Okonomiyaki looks tasty and great!! 😄😁👍 Keep up the good work Bro!

[@spareushilton3111]

Of all the fantastic, wonderful dishes of Japan my favorite by far is the Hiroshima version of okonomiyaki. Aside from sushi it should be the national dish of a wonderful nation. I lived in San Francisco for 25 years and have found only one restaurant that sold anything similar to the dish. At this restaurant in Japantown it was known as 'modern yaki.' A great dish indeed but nothing near the the gem of a meal I had in Japan so many years ago. Thanks for posting this.

[@nubetube577]

Man this channel is awesome great find a 4 am

[@CuzImBeastLykDat]

I've been watching a few of these, and now I really want to visit so I can try all the good food!

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

CuzImBeastLykDat I know! There is too much to eat here ... there's so much that I don't know where to go and eat next!! Is there anything in particular you're interested in? -John

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Yeah! That was a fun show. I did two ramen reports for Tokyo Eye. I will do a ramen episode for ONLY in JAPAN this year! Thanks for the comment and for watching. Really appreciate it! -John

[@alltheluck]

Fantastic show!! Cheers!

[@NobbyKNobbs]

"best of all it's super healthy..." ...adds bacon...

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

It's actuallu plain pork strips. No salt, nor has it been cured or have preservatives or flavoring added. Just looks like bacon -- however, I wish it were BACON!! Mmmm .... bacon ... john

[@jsmcnally22]

Everything is better with bacon!

[@prabadisha]

Oh it's the tapeworm..not because you are a muslim??

[@Trsshpandasa7867]

you can kill it you can only get it if it is UNDERCOOKED

[@Trsshpandasa7867]

In addition to handwashing, be sure to wash and cook all fruits and vegetables in safe water if you’re traveling or living in an area where tapeworms are common, be sure to cook meat at 125 degrees Fahrenheit (52 C) to kill tapeworm eggs and larvae, and avoid undercooked pork, beef, and fish

[@kwsign]

I love this Japanese food!!!

[@Park2King]

We have an okonomiyaki restaurant in Toronto which has been in continuous operation since 1978. However, now that I see how they make okonomiyaki in Hiroshima I think the ones we get in Toronto have lost something in translation; they're not quite so complicated in their construction. I swear I could almost smell how good they were in this video.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Marc Goodman The "Okonomi House"? If this is it, I looked at the photo and....well, this may be the Osaka style Okonomiyaki but looks pretty with a lot of sauce! It seems like people like the Teriyaki Chicken more ... LOL -WAORYU staff

[@Park2King]

Yes, you are correct, it is the "Okonomi House". It's in a great location near the downtown campus of the University of Toronto and is physically located in a building housing graduate students and their families. Good food at a reasonable price since 1978! WAORYU ONLYinJAPAN

[@HoldFastFilms]

Oh geez this made my mouth water so bad!

[@chronicawareness9986]

9:02 "lots of taste in our mouth" kinda funny lol

[@michaeldawson09]

Great stuff bro! Good job on your first time =)

[@Tylervp]

Awesome! glad to see more videos are up :D and those cooking skills though.. lol

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Hehe! Need a little more practice :) but it's all the same in your stomach, maybe. The next episode has food in it too -- but we're more interested in EATING it than COOKING it -John

[@hasanrasheedbey7987]

3:36 - That first flip! Smooth hand skills . . .

[@astroboy3507]

Yesssss John another vid and In japan !!!!!!

[@thengboz]

OMG....I wanna go to Japan. Great video, keep it up.

[@hijack69]

Okonomiyaki looks so delicious. I need to eat this b4 I die

[@Warchgundamnow]

you can easily cook this for yourself. people in Hiroshima and Osaka do make this home since it's a bit expensive to eat outside.

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Next episode coming next week! TOKYO'S MONSTER GYOZA CHALLENGE: The Largest Dumpling in the World Kai and I go over Japan's challenge eating and the concept of "mottainai" which is a big part of Japanese culture. Of course, I try to eat the mother of all gyoza, too! Photos from the shoot on Facebook: facebook.com/onlyinjapantv -John

[@Sanjeet_28]

[@JM-gz1ej]

[@mikeshekhtman8581]

I ate there last year. 3rd floor. That was quite an experience.

[@erickelley1680]

when i spent a month in japan for foreign exchange my host mother made okonomiyaki like this. i fell in love with okonomiyaki. i never knew osaka made it a different way. now i know the area my host mother was from while i was in gifu.

[@KE4VVF]

Yummy. Now I'm hungry.

[@bigredlizerd]

I really enjoyed this episode, even with that hungry hungry feeling afterwards :) Got some laughs and giggles so... Guess it balance's out everything a bit, still need a bite tho!
