    I like that sometimes you "talk" (well, give us subtitles) in the video as if we're there with you haha "we'll meet at Hakata station and then we'll go to Ichiran" feels a bit more personal.
    My favorite part weirdly enough gotta be the furin, absolutely loved the sound they make!!!
    Note to self: don't watch food videos while hungry. Now I want ramen hahahahaha

    I've enjoyed the fact that you love to eat, and seeing all of the dishes you get. This was enjoyable because I got to see some dishes I had never heard of and get a description and review from you. More of these will be appreciated. Also, any unique aspects of the cities/areas you visit would be interesting as well.

    My girlfriend definitely appreciated the focus on the food. That’s always her favorite part of your videos. Keep up the great work!

    The chicken hotpot dish seems like it would be wonderful on a cold, rainy day, or for when you aren’t feeling good. Comfort food. My favorite Japanese food is tempura.

    This channel was in my home feed and I’m so glad I clicked on the video. This is such a unique and creative way to make content and I never would’ve guessed that watching quiet videos of ferry trips and food would become one of my favorite ways to relax. Thank you for sharing your cool life with us and many thanks for the great videos!

      @mbrown187 Před 2 lety +1

      It really is quite clean, especially compared to neighboring South Korea which doesn't do a very good job with waste management, which I lived in for 5 years. I recall walking the streets of Ginza and the streets were spotless with not even a hint of trash.

    The setup at Ichiran is odd, but kind of magical. I love the idea of a place where you sit in something like a library nook, press a button, the wall opens up, and mysterious hands give you noodles. :)

  • @HayTatsuko
    @HayTatsuko Před 2 lety +12

    It's not fancy, but it is very good: I love zaru soba. It's easy to make, it's not very expensive, and it is by far one of the best cold-noodle dishes around, to me. Just boiled buckwheat soba noodles chilled, then laid out on that cute little bamboo mat with green onion bits and crispy little nori strips on top. The ritual of getting a portion in chopsticks, anointing it with the delicious soba sauce, and slurping that taste up is oddly soothing and satisfying to me, all at once.

    I so enjoy your videos. It’s my dream to visit Japan one day, but for now, I love following you on your adventures. Bluefin nigiri has always been my favorite, but I tried tonkatsu curry for the first time because of your videos and absolutely loved it. It might be my new favorite!

    Ichiran is pretty darn good. I like that you can customize your order in lots of ways.
    Also- that last Irchiran in the airport was pretty spacious. The ones in Tokyo are super cramped lol.

    @erikamarie2787 Před 2 lety +3

    I've watched all your videos. I hit play the moment I see a new video from you. I like your stuff better than other similar Japan travel videos. It's relaxing, highly informative, ASMR-ish, and what sets you apart I feel is your personality + humour shines through despite the lack of actual talking. And I love how you're a foodie too! It feels like I'm traveling with an old friend. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us, especially when many of us can't travel now. Looking forward to seeing much more content from you :)

    FUKUOKA! This was where I stayed my first and last night in Japan! Augh, I really wish I could have gotten to see more of it, but I did see that Sea Hawks stadium and the mall nearby, those were super cool. That Namco arcade was also wonderful to me!

I love the way you gently tell the story of your travels through subtitle and video. The thoughtful tone absolutely compliments the locations and brings me back to the very short time we spent in Japan. Can't wait to go back this year!

    I love traveling with you through your videos. I'm amazed at all the travel & sleep choices you have in Japan. I love seeing the different food choices you make...and how much you can eat! Tonight, I had dinner with you, though I was having a jerk chicken patty (Jamaican food). Usually, your videos make me hungry. It has inspired Asian cabbage and chicken (or salmon) rolls, raman, and spicy noodle dinners.Have fun and thanks for making these videos. Keep up the good work.

    Hi, this is the first video from your channel I watch and I just love it ! 😀 I like your way of filming because I get the feeling that I am experiencing your adventure in real life. I also love your practical explanations and particularly your way of explaining each food by showing concretely the ingredients inside. 😄
    Anyway, Fukuoka is a very nice city on Kyûshû that provides lots of attraction like shopping and restaurants. The proximity of the airport and the connection with buses and trains is prefect. 😃 Dazaifu is definitively worth seeing through the beauty and richness of its culture and patrimony. Finally, my favourite food is Mizutaki gozen in this video. ☺
    Thanks for this wonderful video and I am excited to watch all your other adventures ! 😀
    Arigatou gozaimashita to soredewa ! 😄👋🏻

  • @NothingToNoOneInParticular

    Ooh the Tonkatsu looked so good! My favorite food is a bento lunch type box served in the local japanese restaurant. Green tea, Salad, tempura, rice, sushi and miso and green tea ice cream!
    I LOVE the foods in your videos as much as the travel. I like the different modes of stay your choose, not just the different modes of travel. I've loved seeing the capsule accommodations, the tatami mat cabins and everything in between! Makes me want to travel on ferries if I ever go to Japan! I do so like the vending machines on the ferries too! I've always been fascinated by vending machines....kek
    Thank you for the video!

    The furin at the shrine really makes people who hear it feel cooler. When I first hear it at the scene of the gate of the shrine, my first thought was "wow the sound makes me feel the breeze" idk if that make sense😂 then the scene changes to all of the furin hanging and the explanation of it and I'm even more amazed by it because it's true🥺
    p.s. in need of a furin ASAP 😗
    edit: My favourite part gotta be when you're trying to divide the umegae mochi but it's too hot and so you point the camera towards the people walking peacefully while you are having a fight with the hot mochi😂😂

    Thank you again for another relaxing video ( and it's also good for Japanese listening practice!) Favourite Japanese foods are usually Okonomiyaki (Osaka style), Zaru soba , Agedashi Tofu and Wagashi! ( especially monaka and yokan, although mochi is a major comfort food. There's is something about the texture of mochi that is very calming.) The hotpot that you ate looked so delicious - and the detail that many places place on their condiments is also amazing...
