This really cool because this was the first time i actually ate onigiri and me and my family had so much fun eating and figuring this out so thanks

Really bad research on this video

Must be normal to walk in japan and see people talking to themselves into a camera

Tuna mayo is a weird mix? It's standard even in Arabia.

In Switzerland we have a special dish called fischchnusperli. Its like fish n chips but wish Egli Fish and Tartar sauce. I think its Portuguese too.

Please people, this video is just a perception of someone visiting Japan 🙏 I respect his point of view, I'm honestly glad he is interested in it, but it is a bit off with the percention we have here. His point of view is very american. To understand onigiri you need to understand the value and the appreciation of the white rice in our culture, not the ingredient that onigiri may have inside.

"It's July and it's cold!" Americans never seem to understand that the UK is at the same latitudes as Newfoundland and Alaska. That is why we need comfort food.

Viennese here. Some of the classic Wiener Kaffeehäuser have turned into tourist traps, especially in the 1. district. That said, most of the young people I know visit coffeehouses or Beisl (Old pub) regularly. Tough it's getting less and less every year, due to inflation and living cost crisis. The real reason why coffeehouses aren't what they used to be, is because they were considered living rooms by the locals. Apartments were often shared and cramped, so they met and socialized at the coffeehouses. For the price of a coffee, you had a place to hang out for the day. Nowadays, the housing situation has gotten better and there are a lot of other options in Vienna to spend your free time at.

Soba is one of my favorite noodles. I love the texture and taste. When I lived in Japan, I loved the curry soba.

onigiri is gross. all that carb, not much filling.

Hawaiian sweet bread is a relatively new arrival to the US mainland. I remember it got popular around the early 2000s and it took the country by storm. Now we can’t get enough of it and it’s pretty much become a staple.

I tried one of those konbini onigiri. The nori was so dry it stuck to my lips unpleasantly and it had so little filling.

“The US asked Japan to open up…” That’s oneway to describe gunboat diplomacy

I have always loved onigiri and miss it....when i was little my parents were stationed in japan and we live there 3.5 years ....the onigirazu sounds like it would be yummy and possibly make it easier for work lunches ect.

Chinese beef noodle soup taste like shit

Hong Kong is one of the coolest places/cultures and it's a shame that it's slowly losing it's identity. I grew up in Richmond (Canada) and was surrounded by kids/families who immigrated over from Hong Kong so I feel like I got to really experience a lot of the Hong Kong culture through them and the heavy population of immigrants. I grew up eating at Cha Chaan Tengs, visiting HK bakeries and my family owned a butcher shop selling Cha Siu, Siu Yook, etc. Nowadays, all the HK establishments are being taken over by the Mainland Chinese and you see much more Mainland influence. Cantonese is spoken less and less :(

"For over 2000 years Japan has lived off the backbone of one food" (rice). Millet: Am I a joke to you?

Beans on Toast is DELICIOUS!

It’s climate. A lot of a countries cuisine is based on what was available.

Love the « Open the country, stop having it be closed » reference!!

Onigiri is the best!

I wish we had cheap onigiri over here in germany. a local supermarket, rewe, sells them... but for $3 a pop. for rice, salt, and seaweed. nothing else. it's INSANE.

I love the naming convention - "onigiri" is a noun from the verb "nigiru" to grasp, and could mean "a handful", so the onigiri has the connotation of being eaten somewhere on the go, as a handheld food. But onigirazu is is the negative form of that verb, and so the connotation of eating on the go disappears.

0:17 or jelly filled donuts

Cool vid

Indian here, additional to curry, Indians also eat a bread called pav, this is the same as Portugal. We love Portugal ❤. Nice documentary

Tempura word comes from tempero.

Johnny Harris would do a whole video on the diversity and history of midwestern cousine

Blessings for the algorithm 🎉

Also, Brazil was once a empire equal to Portugal and the capital where the Royal family lived.

This is funny to me because the name of my country (Cameroun located in central Africa) literally means small shrimp in Portuguese and it was given by Portuguese explorers long before any colonisation and it stuck

we call tuna mayonnaise, tuna salad and add dill pickle relish and onions. i eat it as a tuna salad sandwich. an easy cheat is to add canned tuna to tartar sauce, since it's mostly mayo, cream of tartar, and pickle relish.

If you’re looking for the song at 7:25, it’s “Delicious!” by Kokonoku, Or the original of the song, but that is the remix I have in my playlist.

Nice video! Our cuisine is definitely underrated and among the best in the World. The French and Italians have nothing on us!

I don't know, I guess onigiri is kind of boring, but some boring foods are amazing and for some reason I can't get enough of these little things.

Tuna mayo is an extremely common sandwich filling. I really like it with sliced cucumber.

Hong Kong is China

This reminds me of when I referred to egg tarts as Chinese to a Chinese woman, who responded that she thought they were European.

Angry Chinese incoming

95% rice rice ball sucks, not a balance diet. Please add more ingredients.

Lol Christianity freak out japan lolz

You missed Sri lanka

The moment you said tuna and mayo is weird, can’t relate anymore

Viennese here, I agree partly, but also disagree at the same time. Coffee houses are all over the city, so there are not only the fancy inner-city tourist traps you have shown, although mostly beautiful and resembling the past...so...coffee houses are still being used as a social hub, when I was at the university, I went to our local coffee house to study, like many others there. So, apart from "working", new friends were found. Or now, after work, we casually meet up, because you always will find someone there. Or the newspaper ;) So, I think it still works as a social meeting point, even without tourists. Which is something I like a lot. No need for reserving tables, having dinner or having the pressure to leave after an hour or so. Personally, i am avoiding the well-known inner city cafes because of obvious reasons (no seats available, expensive). But there are LOTS of cafes, so chances are always good. btw, the grumpy waiters are a must ;) Btw part 2, the story with Armenians, Turks etc is that within the very large entourage of Turkish troops were many civilians to traded with locals and so on. It was not like the siege you think it was, outside th3 city walls there were also folks living and the turkish army had obviously no interest in starving, slaughtering them or whatever. So life went on and when the Turkish Army was defeated, some Armenian guys in the trading business stayed and opened a coffee shop. That´s the part of the legend I know, at least ;)

Tempura is also inspired by a Portugese dish.

wish my country had been colonized by Portuguese in the past, all we had was USSR with ignorant, awful russians...
