[@uruiamme]

Coming back to their old food videos to get the same friendly happy yummy feeling 😊 Thank you Martina and Simon for these awesome videos. It still makes me very happy 😊

[@MrXekaz]

When Simon & Martina are more entertaining and fun to watch then the Food Network. lol.

[@eatyourkimchi]

We're heading out for Okonomiyaki, and we're going to show you how to make and eat it. Yum!

[@bang10snyndn27]

Yasssd!! Never Clicked a video so fast!!

[@AmniNztlAlia]

im under 301 viewers lol that was fast

[@alyallflags5310]

Your videos make me feel good. I don't speak and write English very well but I like your Channel a lot!! Les deseo mucho éxito en su canal y en su vida.

[@jackbarry2293]

What's your favorite Japanese meal Martina??

[@Jan2times]

I've recently discovered your channel(s). I have immersed myself in nothing but Simon and Martina. I've been hungry, but happy for the past week.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Thank you so much to whoever made English subtitles!

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Simon and Martina Polish and Spanish subtitles now up too! Thank you, you awesome people!

[@little_miss_sunshinee]

+Simon and Martina 😘😘

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Simon and Martina Arabic subs are now up as well! Thank you!

[@QueenKnight123]

+Simon and Martina I added the Spanish:3 I'm going to try it on all your videos. . . well maybe not the Monday segments since they're a bit too long.

[@little_miss_sunshinee]

+karina rios ¿Eres tu quien edita y borra los todos los subtitulos que estuve haciendo??

[@findingsimon]

so one of our viewers told us there was another Canadian goofy Simon out there eating good food, so we checked you guys out and definitely subbed. Loving the videos it's making my stomach growl hardcore

[@emmie9435]

Didn’t expect to see you here Simon! All my KZbinrs seem to be related in some way.

[@NatWarrior1]

Both of you also have epic beards LOL

[@notjebbush]

I realized today, while laying on the couch in misery after dislocating a shoulder, that I tend to binge-watch Simon and Martina videos when I feel crappy. I don't know why they're so comforting, but they are. Thank you for doing what you do.

[@eatyourkimchi]

No problem :) sounds like a hippie thing to say, but we try very hard to surround ourselves by happy things before filming in order to send good happy vibes through the screen every time we film. I hope it rubs off

[@teebabyyy]

"Who do you love more, mommy or daddy" omg lmaoooooo Simon 😂

[@sarahlikesnarwhals]

the editing in this video is so good omg

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Sarah Dizon I'm glad you like it. Thanks!

[@RibbitHopX]

I always love how the steam from hot food makes bonito flakes look like they're alive!

[@sarahholmes6281]

[@kaitlyncleary3424]

I crave your Eat Your Sushi episodes. You guys are always fun to watch

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Kaitlyn Cleary We're working on editing one right now. They're so long to edit! But they're fun to do as well :D

[@kaitlyncleary3424]

+Simon and Martina yesss. They are the best 30 minutes of my life. Lol. So do you k of when you will bring smudgee back. Like over there

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Kaitlyn Cleary April 23rd!

[@kaitlyncleary3424]

[@eatyourkimchi]

German subtitles are now up, too! Thank you to whoever made them :D

[@mel_sj]

[@Simsrockslol]

[@flipcomics]

YESSSSS

[@XVavaliciousX]

+chrisrockslol Yesssss!! Someone else who's speaking my language!

[@bokuryos]

Kuonji Ukyo

[@FlyingAero]

Ukyo was bae

[@milliei1552]

That's literally what I was thinking XD

[@greysweetpotato1771]

Recently, I just cannot get enough of you guys, I watch all your videos the moment they are out and then spend the rest of my week checking my subscriptions for videos from you..

[@jaxd7206]

Hello fellow potato, nice to see you here.😉

[@NatWarrior1]

Martina Has been flipping pajeons for several years with one small spatula and one small pan Can't even flip the obi wan kenobi with two spatulas and a pretty big grilling area. Rest in peace

[@cherxiong8064]

So happy you are living in Japan now! I've always loved Japanese culture!! 😍❤️

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

My favorite Japanese food vlog

[@monkey220ms]

I had this in 5th grade when I went to Japan:) I want to go back it's so cool

[@leannyly]

Worcestershire is pronounced "wuss-ter-sher" ^_^

[@brokeandpetty8170]

wor-ses-tER-sh[eye]er

[@leannyly]

+zelos wifeu sorry, but you're wrong. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worcestershire_sauce

[@squidthing]

zelos wifeu Cooking shows pronounced it like the OP. And the place in the UK is also pronounced that way, sorry.

[@squidthing]

Colorless green ideas sleep furiously. *Pronounce

[@wiccangal50]

...is also known as just Wooster sauce in my house :)

[@ozumatatsugoro]

Thank you for always having a pleasant report. Please stay healthy and live forever.

[@Solitude1990]

Note to self: Never watch these late at night while you're hungry.

[@InternetFad]

I LOVE that you guys have been making more food videos since going to Japan. Awesome!

[@HappyInJapan]

"You put on too much oil" ... impossible. Also, props for pro motion graphics. Definitely glad to see someone raising the bar for vlog quality on KZbin Japan. Thanks.

[@Donvermicelli]

+Happy In Japan Your own graphics are not so bad either :)

[@HappyInJapan]

+Don Vermicelli thanks ^_^ just wish I had the on camera personality as Simon and Martina though. Also a dedicated camera man wouldn't hurt either. They really run a tight operation it seems.

[@jellyfishbubgum]

These videos just always make me happy. No matter how bad of a day I'm having, you guys always can make it better.

[@chantall4596]

I loved the editing in this video!

[@athirahhana7847]

I can't believe I'm watching this in the middle of the night 😢😢😢 I wanna try this, save some for me please

[@eatyourkimchi]

Oooh! Taiwanese subs are now up, too! Thanks guise!

[@Krieghandt]

I believe the peeps from Hiroshima will disagree that there is no wrong way to make Okonomiyaki, as they claim their way is the one true way. And they do build it differently, in layers, instead of a big mix.

[@parkchimmin7913]

Oh yeah! I heard that when it comes to Hiroshima vs Osaka okonomiyaki, people can get into heated debates about it!

[@eatyourkimchi]

French subtitles now up! Thank you to whoever made them!

[@getnurut]

Okonomiyaki is one of my fav!

[@edithibarra1007]

"Who do you love more, mommy or daddy?" 😂

[@ThatOneBlasian]

So many people doubted Simon's cooking skills BUT I BELIEVED

[@buddy29943]

omg this is where sharla went to eat hers like 2 years ago. I wonder if you guys would one day do collabs with her just like Rachel and Jun

[@doonyx1510]

you guys are making me hungreeeeeyyyyyy.

[@iamdisgusted]

When Martina said " Oil me up" , I literally died. lol I can't breathe

[@koookeeez]

This is when Simon was semi buff from working out in Korea. I guess all the amazing food in Japan has made him pudgy. Simon and Martina are still both adorable though. love you guys

[@janetklops_0_o]

Did Simon cut off the collar of his shirt? His dothraki man warrior chesthair is kind of showing.

[@angelab9577]

I never knew that I needed this video in my life until now

[@astellus]

thank goodness I was already eating while watching this!

[@luz9700]

I unfortunately wasn't.... :(

[@teeesah95]

omg Thank you so much for uploading this. I woke up from an extremely bad nightmare and you guys helped calm me down. Thank you thank you thank you i cant wait to try this when I travel to Japan :)

[@charicarey3085]

You should check these apps for hiragana and katakana they are Dr Moku's hiragana and Dr Moku's Katakana I hope this helps, Simon and Martina they help you learn them with easy ways to remember the characters and tests

[@mewisa5202]

yess

[@OpheliaGames]

+Charlie Dodds Dr Moku literally taught me everything!

[@GeorgianaQuaint]

+Charlie Dodds I love you for this tip!

[@charicarey3085]

+Georgiana Quaint it's fine I'm happy to help

[@SparkzMxzXZ]

+Charlie Dodds learning japanese at the moment, thanks :D

[@damndaniel410]

Yay! You guys are almost at 1 mill! Im so proud of you 2 😘

[@maggieandgeorge]

When you hit 1 million subs can we find out who the camera guy is??

[@LavaStormPlays]

I love whoever does the editing. Laughed many times. Glad i subscribed!

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Lava Storm Plays that's great! Thank you for subscribing :) Oh and Martina does the editing. :)

[@Fancynancytv]

if you're in Japan you can make videos with the Japanese youtubers like Sharla and Kimdao :D

[@DatShawtyGizzy88]

I'm so happy you guys made a video on this! I want to try it so bad! BTW loving these Japan videos. 😊

[@macbdam7909]

"They have meat! They have shrimp. They have..........cheese?" You two.. XD

[@erinjanae9938]

Hello Simon and Martina. my name is Erin and I have big dreams of being a chef. I live in the US so a lot of the food I make is European. I've grown tired of it and have been looking for the perfect type of food for me to really specialize in. Thanks to your videos I've fallen in love with the Korean culture. I've never really left home so moving across the globe is a bit intimidating. But from your experiences and the way you explain the welcoming feeling of Korea I'm not afraid. Thank you so much and keep doing what you do, cause you do it pretty damn well 😊

[@janejane8396]

Martina is the best

[@eatyourkimchi]

yet I failed...haha!

[@nhinguyen-jx7nk]

+Simon and Martina no, you didn't. It is the seafood fault for not tasting better than bacon.

[@TheCountessAsuka]

Of all the food I had in Japan, this is the one that has stuck with me. When my husband is traveling for work, I sneak out to my local corner sushi place and they make it for me even though its not on the menu!

[@FeelTheBeauty93]

You should try Hiroshima Okonomiyaki :)

[@eatyourkimchi]

+FeelTheBeauty93 I heard it's good!

[@burntchickennugget500]

Feels cool to be early, love your videos!

[@3DJapan]

I just had okonomiyaki last week. I shot video of it moving around for my next video.

[@rachvintage1990]

Love okonomiyaki so so much! They are the best!

[@Guitargoddess843]

Okonomiyaki is my FAVORITE

[@norshafiq6776]

OMG my wife and I were just here last saturday!! the okonomiyaki experience was awesome!!

[@milkygalaxy1566]

Can you please try the Santa Monica Crepe at the Harajuku District.🙏🤗😁😚😚

[@tommarks3726]

your channel came up on my recommendation today and I subscribed after watching. you two cracked me up. videos are very informative. I'm not afraid to try these Japanese foods. you two belong together.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Welcome to our channel! I'm not sure how we got on your recommendations, but I'm glad we did! Thanks for subscribing :D And to answer your other comment, we don't speak enough Japanese to get by, but we're learning. We just moved to Tokyo a few months ago, and we're still quite confused.

[@MatthewSchellGaming]

Are you guys plan on going to Sukiyabashi Jiro? It's a one of my goals in life ever since I saw the movie.

[@Gilliebeany]

+Matthew Schell they already went to a sushi place , they were giong to go there and film but a friend told them there was somewhere better. Check it out, if you put simon and martina sushi into the search bar I'm sure it will pop up!

[@MatthewSchellGaming]

Gilliebeany Ah yeah totally forgot about that. That is a shame, the documentary was so good.

[@rikudriscoll6468]

did a great job showing the struggles of making okonomiyaki! this video is done right

[@darkmannight1]

Use the forks Luke -Obi Wan Kenobi

[@AnaxErik4ever]

My sister is addicted to this dish. Thanks for posting this. Enoki and Shimeji mushrooms are soooooooo nice, and even though I could only eat the squid, shrimp and scallop one safely, that pork/mochi/mushroom/cheese one sounds heavenly.

[@chocmilkshake24]

All I can see when I saw the thumbnail is "nom nom nom" ^^

[@ohokay8442]

I love watching your food videos when I'm eating, it makes everything taste better

[@TheicMoggy]

cooking with dog made an easy okonomiyaki that anyone can cook. it's delicious! also I think it's just straight up okonomiyaki sauce lol

[@HorseHouse87]

No it's not, we have that in England and it's great. It's good on fish pie. It's pronounced Woostersheer (that's not how it's spelt). :)

[@HorseHouse87]

No it's not, we have that in England and it's great. It's good on fish pie. It's pronounced Woostersheer (that's not how it's spelt). :)

[@stoniebalogna]

francis and spudgy should do a colab!!

[@TheicMoggy]

+Orange Zebu Well, I actually have Okonomiyaki sauce right now and it doesn't taste like Worsterschire or whatever it's spelled like to me. I bought it in a Japanese grocery store. maybe it is the English sauce just in the Japanese way like how they have their own Mayonaisse which is 10x better than regular Mayo.

[@TheicMoggy]

+Honey Wavves yes that would be awesome! Meemers should do a collaboration with Maru as well!!! Scottish Fold Kittens unite!!!

[@whydontyoulovememe]

Spending my birthday watching Simon and Martina!!!

[@eatyourkimchi]

+insert name Happy Birthday!!! Have an internet ballon ~O

[@whydontyoulovememe]

+Simon and Martina Omg! tysm! :0)

[@eunicekim7056]

I love how Simon looks like he's being squished xD

[@Jlonotfromtheblock]

When Simon was giggling, his face reminded me of Sid off if Ice Age. 😝😂

[@teachintoh7402]

Show us Dan's face pretty please :3

[@SOSumiyya]

OMG, the manga fanatic in me is having a field day: "OMG, IT'S OKONOMIYAKI!!" I wonder if there are halal okonomiyaki places in Japan. Maybe. I'm so hyped about you guys living in Japan, you have no idea.

[@MrsKoldun]

Okonomnomnomiyaki

[@l8Frankalein]

I literally just ate something and still I began to drool while watching this :D looove all your videos so much 😍

[@katiebatcheller9405]

Make smaller ones? Easier to flip?

[@redsunraysan]

i went to Japan once when I was in high school and see this is bringing tears to my eyes lol it's silly but you just brought back so many great memories and I hope to go back one day just like you two! You guys are relationship goals! I love your channel

[@sarkerm2]

Did they mix up each other's t-shirts by mistake? Lol

[@Brookodile]

Ugh you guys are my favorite I literally tell so many people about this channel and how cute y'all are 😂 I hope to atleast visit South Korea or Japan one day, so these vlogs give me life

[@ambrosew8328]

Where is the fapfap intro with the NA NA NA NA? I miss it!!

[@mimiteas]

I watched this on a full stomach and it didn't help. You two make it look so yummy! And fun! :D

[@IshmaelVargas]

You should also try monjayaki which is the Tokyo-style okonomiyaki. It's quite different from regular okonomiyakis so it's really something worth trying. Man, this making me really hungry... ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

[@shannoncares7569]

+Mel Vargas that's the cutest emojiface ever omg...

[@IshmaelVargas]

+Shannon Harnes That's pretty much how I look like right now.

[@shannoncares7569]

Mel Vargas me too, me too. I think I might have to learn to make it. I have an Asian market close by.

[@creamsiclecat]

Look so good, My mouth actually watered and dribbled down on my breakfast haha

[@SecretCollage]

was there like a weird pixel thing going on around @1:21 ? or is just my screen?

[@barkrauhl]

it's the video. your screen is fine (:

[@LauraPaules]

saw it too

[@mybabyboy2286]

+SecretCollage yep saw it!

[@breighitte]

i just woke up, like, 5 minutes ago and now i'm hungry watching this

[@CamilleDucamel]

You're not alone, hon

[@sosmcs]

What r these moving toppings. The bonito? What's that?

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Sosmcs See Ah yes, the dancing tuna~ it's very thin and dry smoked tuna so the heat rising off the pancake makes them wiggle, but it is not alive or anything. :)

[@sosmcs]

+Simon and Martina oh thank god they're not.. I saw them in another Asian dish, not sure if it was Katsu or some other dish, but I was disturbed ^^ thank u for the clarification.

[@pet_tularhodes3687]

+Simon and Martina oh i always thought it was shrimp flakes

[@melissaa8410]

thank you for posting this omg I still think you guys should try monjayaki, it would be so funny to watch

[@souravzzz]

If I wanted to cook, I would just stay at home and not go to a restaurant.

[@narwhal_dust5458]

+⚛ U Wot M8 ⚛ I mean, you didn't have to watch the video.

[@Wooplot]

+⚛ U Wot M8 ⚛ agreed

[@Warchgundamnow]

+⚛ U Wot M8 ⚛ People in Osaka cook Okonomiyaki for themselves because it is much cheaper. But I recommend you to go to this kind of restaurant when you have some company and do not have that big hot plate.

[@TheCrystalike]

I'm about to visit Japan for the first time in April and I keep watching your videos to bookmark all the best eating spots

[@chococakeandchesse]

Whyyy wont they tell us who it is? Did they explain it before? Is it just for his privacy?

[@xpolarisjo]

+Tiffany Tripp Good question!

[@MissingOne123]

+Tiffany Tripp His privacy, I think. They haven't said anything about him much more than he's a boy and his interests I think? In their Eat Your Sushi eps, he lets them release a little info about him if they get 10k likes on the eps :)

[@CamilleDucamel]

I think it's for his privacy and it's also sort of a game. If you watch their long Eat Your Sushi episodes, they reveal a different fact about him every Friday. We still don't know his name or virtually anything about him. Hope this helped! :)

[@mystrye8262]

Almost one million subs! Woot woot!

[@finlayfreeman]

Is the guy behind the camera called Keith? i thought thats what your lips said Simon. If not who cares XD love ya

[@jerrydonks]

+Finlay Stewart I thought it looked like "Dave". Hmm!

[@SasuNaruJunkie]

I could almost hear and see him say Nathan, but I'm not great at reading lips so...

[@cyberaloy]

I think he is saying dan because when they posted a video a couple weeks ago, I believe simon mentioned that a friend named dan was filming for them but it could be another person

[@charliebrown4645]

+Stacey Murphy but they also said he was single and Duncan is married...

[@kayetasha5074]

I literally press like on all of your videos before watching them full cause i wholeheartedly support you guys! Keep the awesome eat your sushi vlogs coming! :)

[@tanianoronha7732]

you guys are like ny guide to Korea and Japan. I'll know everything by the time I actually go to these places 😂

[@kaychannn02]

OMG why did I just now discover you guys? So you're now one of my favorite Japanese vlog couples. Please post more:) You should do a episode about parfaits and Pokémon:) lol love you guys. P.S. I think both of you win this challenge❤👌🏼

[@eatyourkimchi]

+Kay Chan welcome to our channel! We'll hopefully post Pokemon stuff one day :)

[@ThisMinah]

We had this when we were in Osaka and it's just sooooo good! They made it for us though, something of which I'm very thankful because we were just clueless foreigners ... Oh Japan how I miss thee :3

[@randicommand2453]

Bacon and shrimp, green onions and cabbage, and a bit of pickled ginger, mixed with mochiko, egg, dashi! Of course Okonomi sauce and QP mayo. Yummm. We make it here at home (Michigan). Love love love it.

[@pscly]

Woke up so early.. Cant fall back to sleep.. Ended up watching this.. 😷 now im so damn hungry.. 😂😂😂 i vote for simon's okonomiyaki, as the force was with him when he flipped it!

[@kuebraaytac4573]

i am so greatly appreciative of that you are doing all of this awesome stuff . i suffer from anxiety attacks and your Vids are helping me a hole lot ! In the middle of many nights i just look up your channel and watch some old or new videos and everything becomes better immediately ! Thank you so much . i freakin love you guys 💋

[@whitneywilliams951]

I have contributed 5 views (and counting .. ) because I can't stop drooling for this food. I need this in my life !

[@MultiSudd]

I feel You both are awesome pair..njoy ur life...

[@iluvmongolia]

Almost to a million subs! Love you guys :)

[@kizzyneetyan]

I am so hungry after watching this video. For people who want to make okonomiyaki at home in the US - H Mart has okonomiyaki flour and then you can add whatever you want to it. Soooo good.
