Your mom is so beautiful Shinichi. I'm so glad you finally got to go back to Hawaii so see her and your sister. The food there looked so good. It's fun to have a nostalgic meal to take you back to simpler times.😊

[@TabiEats]

Thanks so much!

[@jennifertaylorwalker8474]

I'm so glad your mom is doing so well. I lost mine in 2017 so I enjoy watching your interactions with yours. May she be blessed with many many more years

[@TabiEats]

Thanks so much! Also very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. May she rest in peace.

I needed to see Zippy’s again even second I hand 😊feel the satisfaction. During my parents anniversary we visited Oahu for three weeks and I loved every second of it from the traditional pig roast at the cultural center, the road side fried shrimp and fish, the Pasteries, the ocean, the swimming spots, the malls, the sights and sounds, the wonderful weather and so much more. I wish I could’ve stayed I still miss the island so badly. 😅

[@ruthjensen415]

Yay! Happy to see your mother is doing well. Glad that you got to spend time with your family.

Happy to see ur mom n sister Shinichi!!!! I missed her........wish she comes to Japan with u guys..........

[@rosm9601]

OMG - I've watched your sister's cooking channel and really enjoys it too. Did not realise you're siblings. Your mum is such a cool cook!

[@hollywebster6844]

I'm so happy your mother is doing well! I remember her on your cooking videos a few years ago.

[@JayVBear45]

Love when your mom gives a cooking lesson. She is so sweet and adorable! She makes me miss my mom but that's a good thing. Apple turnovers are what my mom used to call them also sometimes called popovers.

[@teresajenkins9056]

Oh I have made Shinichi's mom's potatoes and cucumber salad a lot...

[@Sfglutton]

Shinichi, your mother reminds me of my own Japanese grandmother in her understated elegance. I similarly haven’t been able to see my grandmother in nearly 3 years due to Japanese COVID restrictions, but seeing you hang out with your mom filled a tiny bit of that void (brought a tear to my eye too 🥲) thank you for sharing these simple yet intimate family moments.

[@TabiEats]

I’m sorry you haven’t been able to see your mother due to covid. I hope you get to see her soon!

[@Sfglutton]

*grandmother (thankfully my mom is nearby in the states) but I appreciate the comment! My mom was also born in your year or one later i believe (1967), so we are on the same timeline in some ways. Love your content, i’m a fan for life!

[@scottsakahara4785]

Missed those days back then. Leaving Roosevelt High School after class. Then going to Zippy's to hang out with friends. Late 70's were fun. Even at night going in our cars to hangout and meet up with other friends from Mckinley, Farrington, Kamehameha etc.. We all kind of knew someone from almost every school back then.. Remember the Zip Pac was less than 3 dollars back then so affordable.. Worked at the Kapahulu branch grave yard shift everyone would come by after the bars and nightclubs closed it would be be so busy.. The food was so good to eat at break time.. Miss those days. Been in Southern California since 88.. But at least we have L&L out here.. Glad to see your mom is healthy after covid. Blessings to your family Satoshi

[@ronknoke5400]

Nice seeing you & Family enjoying time together... Best Wishes from Germany !!!

Everyone has memories of eating at Zippys growing up. Such a great institution for everyone to relate to. I'm glad they are making it through these tough economic times.

Honolulu is my hometown, and Zippy's has always been a part of my life. I haven't had a chance to go back since 2018, so watching this was amazing. Thank you!

[@marodz20]

So happy to see you sharing with your mom and sister. Thank you for giving us the joy to see other parts of the world with so much love and food... yummy!!! 😃

[@kalea808AB]

That Zippy's brings back so many memories. Like Nikki said Rice and Gravy. My brother ate the gravy with fries. Did you also go to Peewee's across the street from Washington Intermediate? Ono teri-burgers too. There use to be a wagon truck with candies and groceries. Shave Ice behind the school, o-bon festivals, that area was safe and great to grow up in. Watching your videos have brought back so many memories. Thank you!!! May your Mom continue to be blessed with good health.

[@missjade3795]

I'm born and raised in hawaii but moved to Vegas many years ago. I go home in 5 days... can't wait to go to zippys! Enjoy your trip guys

[@Abruptkos]

My memories of Zippy's was the one in Wahiawa, where I grew up. It was a special thing for my family to dine in and I would get he kids spaghetti plate until I got older and got the won ton min. I think that was the most expensive item back then too at around $10. Then L&L opened up in Wahiawa, so started going there instead because of their chicken katsu. The last few months I lived in Hawaii before I moved to the mainland, Zippy's just started selling the Korean fried chicken, but it was always a "special" menu item

[@carriepadgett2743]

aw that brought tears to my eyes, I have been worrying for your mother, I am SO HAPPY to see everyone together and healthy and joyful 🧡

[@dagrindzguy4250]

Zippy's is always so nostalgic. Everything always tastes exactly as you remember it.

We love Zippy's too. Whenever we are in Maui it is our "Go-To" place when we feel like local food. My partner always gets what Satoshi got and my favorite is the oxtail soup that your mom had. When I was a kid, we used to call oxtail "swinging steak" - Thanks for the video!

[@Laura.Lakslandia]

Everything looks so delicious! So glad you finally made it back home to see your family. Your mom is so darling as always and your sister is always so lovely! Thank you for sharing. Take care and stay safe

Hello. It’s always nice to see your sweet mother. I’m so glad that she’s doing well 🥰 Thanks for sharing a little bit of Hawaii. I enjoyed this video😊

[@laurielum378]

So sweet seeing you guys with your mom and sister. Your mom is so cute and made the Ox tail soup look so good. I chucked when Niki mentioned the .35 gravy and rice, we used to eat that after we spent all our money clubbing back in the day. I haven't tried the Mochisada yet but after seeing you eat the chocolate one I might have to check them out.

[@SabinaThoy]

[@verah971]

Hi Shinichi and Satoshi. You guys give me warm feelings when I watch your videos. Now I know where to go for possibly the same flavoured fruit punch during my childhood. I used to have it at a sports club I went back then in Jakarta, and I never found it again since until I went for a trip to LA in 1991. And the oxtail soup looks mouthwatering.

[@pad9x]

i lived in Honolulu many many years ago, and your video is making me nostalgic. i miss it so much 😢

[@allaps1497]

Love Zippy’s! Miss their Orange Bang drink. My go to fav has always been the Chili with Frank that I never got tired off since trying it for the first time in 1987. I have been a Las Vegas resident (former Ewa Beach local) and we are finally getting a Zippy’s here hopefully opening by the end of the year. Hope to see and taste these items soon. Thank you for this memorable video. ❤️

[@alanl2550]

God bless your Mom!

[@saraha7382]

I just love seeing sitachi eat! He’s such an appreciative eater 😍

[@shirokumakogyo]

I grew up eating at Zippy's, too (in Kaneohe). It's always the first place I go after getting off a flight from Japan! Their fried chicken is the best, but it's hard to beat the chili, too (that's probably why they have a chili-chicken combo plate!). Boy, I do miss it.

[@telfairf1102]

It all looked so delicious! So nice to see your mom doing well 😊

[@heatherchapasko2684]

You can tell that chicken is good from the crunch you got. I wish we had a local place like this in my area. I'll have to try them when we go to Hawaii someday

[@mr.t2895]

I’m in Honolulu and frequent Zippys several times a month in fact I just ate Zippys Turkey Plate today one of their specials. Regarding the fish in the Zip PAC it’s not Mahi-mahi but breaded Hoki Fish. Now the bad news, McDonald’s no longer sells Saimin because the supplier Okahara Saimin went out of business and McDonald’s had no comments if they will ever bring it back!

[@carlerickson74]

I was super bummed to hear about McDonald’s not having Saimin any more! I did get a saimin from rainbow drive in that seems like it could work for McDonald’s too but ramping up production could be an issue for that saimin company.

[@hollish196]

Your mom is charming. And your sister is a dear! Glad you were able to visit after so long. And yes, I did give in and order Bokksu! You convinced me.

[@YoutuberGrudge]

So many influences from so many cultures, it's a shame I never got to try Zippys while I was in Hawaii. Just got the tourist food. But all of that looks amazing. I can no longer eat my childhood favorites as I found out when I went back to my childhood town. I was in the bathroom after a single bite vomiting up everything, so to be able to is a blessing. I'm glad you still can.

[@francardoza8577]

They also make a good tofu burger and at certain times of the year they offer it with the Korean sauce (yummy)…Satoshi must be a good cook because he seems to hone in on the ingredients of the soup base 👍🏻
