  • Things to do in Tokyo, Japan - Did you know, Tokyo is home to the most Michelin restaurants of any city!? In 2015, a small, affordable noodle spot called Tsuta became the first Michelin Star Ramen Restaurant in the world! So, I wanted to come see what all the hype was about.
    Plus, I set out to discover the difference between Denny's in Japan and Denny's as I know it in America.

    Haha you can eat the seaweed or any dishes however you want, but we usually eat them with rice. Eating Japanese dishes is basically how much rice you can eat without getting bored with it hehe. Also I really appreciate you talked quietly in the restaurant. I’ve seen some vlogers talk very loudly in not only restaurants but any public places, which I understand comes from the cultural differences but honestly it gets cringeworthy sometimes. So it means a lot to me that you respect Japanese culture and make videos about Japan :)

    hello Gareth, I arrived in Tokyo the other day but can't seem to find the Rock Bar in Shibuya that you featured in one of your videos. The ones I found titled rock bar are not the one that you visited. If you could help me find it I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and great job on the videos, really some good tips for my trip here.

    I mixed the natto with the rice. It's what the locals did. Also, the natto came with a tiny package of soy sauce and mustard when I had it. Mixing the sauces and the natto and mixing all of that with the rice actually tasted pretty good. Apparently, natto is really healthy for you too.

    @bukchoiii Před 6 lety

    If you don't want to get a ticket can also go line up right before it opens for dinner service. With little luck we got in with the first batch of people without a ticket. Also try the "special rice" they have. It's rice with a flavour oil + soy sauce. Cheers!

  • @jayk347
    @jayk347 Před 6 lety

    Hey Gareth!! When eating Natto you need to put the dashi sauce and Japanese yellow mustard. If it doesn’t come with it, put some Shoyu (soy sauce) on the Natto. Mix really well like almost foamy. Put it on top of the rice and nori. I think it’s awesome that you try everything!! The Hijiki (seaweed) side dish you eat alone or if want to eat it with your rice you can. Hijiki and seaweed in general if good for your health and makes you hair stronger. 🤙🏼

    @FUKUOsaKA Před 6 lety +3

    Roll up some rice with seaweed paper, and make it like an Onigiri.
    Or simply just eat seaweed paper as is like you did.
    A traditional Japanese mom may not allow you to do so but this is how we enjoy it like I do.

  • @Koreano213
    @Koreano213 Před 6 lety

    Swirl the Natto in the cup and air it. The strings will whip into a white foam and will be less annoying and then transfer it to the rice. Wrap the rice and natto with the seaweed.

  • @Rinoue1
    @Rinoue1 Před 6 lety +1

    Hey Gareth!, japanese person chiming in here, you use that packaged seaweed put rice on it then the natto and you roll it into a cone and eat it with a dash of soysauce, and a tiny bit o mustard we call this natto-maki (natto-wrap) cheers!

  • @ddrz09
    @ddrz09 Před 6 lety

    LOL Gareth! You're supposed to mix the natto (like your beating eggs) with your chop sticks so they kind of fluff/firm up. They stop being that strechy-stringy texture a little bit after mixing. Maybe that would have been much easier to work with. Haha, it was hilarious to see you struggling. But you did well man! Japanese grandparents would be very proud of you.
