Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 02. 2017
- I went to the Dontonbori area of Osaka Japan and tried out the delicious street food there. This is where takoyaki was orignated and the home to osaka's version of Okonomiyaki also known as japanese pizza.

If we ever get attacked by a giant kraken we're sending Mike to eat it
If we ever get to Mars we'll have to send him to tell us what's edible.
hammerofmariotos , send my friend too , so we can trick him into eating Martian pebbles instead of food
BB B don’t forget the broth
Mike is the reason the lockness Monster is in the hiding.
Brian Bakker wait u forgot Matt stonie
First time I tried Takoyaki I burned my mouth. The second time I ate Takoyaki, I burned my mouth again.
nilobee what about the 3rd time...?
F
Wait for gods sakes
@@ethanhughes9200 Wait? But it's takoyaki.
nilobee Aah, that takoyaki burning sensation... give me that anytime!
Why is watching some guy eating so satisfying?
cause.... i actually do not know.
Cuz he's eating whole heartedly respecting the food
Because it's mike chen😝😝
His Foodgasms
cause the food looks good
Im officially a binge-watcher
Tsetsi do you have Instagram

Me also
Ya sure?
@@groovyferny9061 yes
@@pussinbootsisme8983 what is it ?
"Holy Crab"
I'm sorry but that deserves a standing ovation.
RIGHT!?! I was so done haha.
he reminds me of tetsuya from bb
crabby crabby
I made this comic-y painting of this lady that’s half crab, Crabatha, Queen
of Crustaceans
On the bottom it says OHHH CRAB!!!
Probably completely irrelevant
( but if anyone wants to see it let me know)
Who else is starving while watching this?
Six other people apparently.
no I am eating penis soup
iAmCholo DON’T EVEN TALK ABOUT IT
I am
I'm cutting weight and basically sticking to under 1800 calories a day. IDK why i keep watching his videos. I'm torturing myself
Mike is the only food vlogger I could tirelessly watch on end. He's honest, he doesn't simply say everything is good. There's always space for his refined opinion about the food. Plus he's very eloquent with his words.
Try sitting next to this twat on a plane for 10+ hours.
my dream is to go to Japan, try all the amazing food, and do the Mikey Chen head shakes after eating each dish
I just ate and I'm already hungry😭😭
Xin Chen LIM Me.😂

Japan is prob the only country that doesn’t stare at your soul when you’re tryna record :) respect
13:02 " I'm standing here in public and people are starting at me "
You probably didn't even watch the whole video
@@lovac_hunt one of those
OP: oh a video about japan! Ima complement japan and leave a like but not actually watch.
Situations
Probably because they love seeing outsiders portraying their country in a positive light especially when it comes to the food they are known for
agreed.
I stayed in an airbnb right in the middle of the food/shopping district here and I didn't even have half of the food that was covered here! The takoyaki though was AMAZING!
Guided foodie tours of Japan. That's what we need.
525Lines hell YEAHHHHHH!!!!
So early and Im eating my instant noodles
+Killran24 Fire chicken noodles
michael hipolito I'm so early, that Cup noodles don't exist yet.
You pig
Middle part is lemon
It's quite lemony
I was expecting it to taste like strawberry 😂😂
Yashvardhan Deoda the middle part is lemon and its quite lemony.
OH REALLY I WAS EXPECTING IT TO TASTE LIKE MANGOES.
😭🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@kylem1150 :joy: :joy: :joy:
You thought it was strawberry,but it was me ,LEMON
Rose water flavour cotton candy is amazing.
Memories of my aunt from Osaka taking me on never ending food adventures when I was a young. Almost 30yrs later not much has changed at all, except purgatory in Ohio.
You're living my dream of traveling the world and eat all that it offers. Too bad I'm a jobless 16 year old.
Thomas t You can achieve anything you put your mind to. When you do start working discipline yourself when it comes to money and you will be able to go. If you plan on going to college there are many programs out there to help you get to your goals. Just ask and work hard! Blessing to you !!!
Thomas t haha same😂
Look up Amazon FBA
So you're 17 now. Very young, and healthy, and energetic. What does prevent you from traveling by your own? There are tons of great books about people who traveled across Europe for free, or South America, or Asia... If you want to be a little more independent, it takes a little more effort. But you can travel the world almost for free by... bicycle. I've traveled many months on my bicycle so far it's been the greatest time of my life. You need inspiration? Stop everything you're doing right now and look up Mike Horn on youtube or else. What's the worst that can happen to you; maybe live an adventure? Isn't that what life is for? And believe me, my situation in life was probably way worst than yours. You can't control where you're born, but you can control where you'll live.
Hey I’m 16 and i work hard for money at the moment I’m saving up for a car but its hard work so don’t give up
So much incredible looking food. I think I could put my social anxiety aside and make it through the crowds to get my hands on some of that awesome food lol.
Healthy Recipe Channel I have social anxiety too! I was there last year, and I had no issue with the crowds while moving (Japanese people are so polite and observant of personal space, especially in Kyoto), but the lines were torture. You really get crammed together out of necessity. Not touching, but still really close. The food is worth it, though! The places with the longest lines always have the best food. Just practice your breathing techniques, and bring a lot of patience. You will be rewarded with awesome food. :D
Revina Que Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a great and helpful post. It is much appreciated. 😊🙌🏼
Healthy Recipe Channel My pleasure! 😊
There is a Ramen shop perfect for you.
It's called Ichiran Ramen.
The point of this restaurant chain is to minimize social interactions. The most you see of the waitor are his hands.
You order your stuff on a machine and get coupons, sit down on a free place, which is secluded on both sides, and press the order button. They look at your coupons and bring you the soup.
Look it up! :D
I love your wide range of tastes how you're honest about what you like and don't like. glad I found this channel
Its his job lol
He's wide range of taste??!! Over 90% Asian food. Not very wide really.
jinxUKBK there is a lot of range in Asian cuisine tho
Dude..you never fail to inspire my stomach to rumble....
"This chicken can whup you in a back alley." 😁😂😃😄 Mike loves good food but has no problem telling it like it is when it's not great.
Mike my family and I are in Osaka and I have used this video as my food tour guide. Thank u so much for the recommendations!!
omg I did not expect you to reference Ranma 1/2. Uukyo will always be the queen of okonomiyaki!!
Looks like Yakuza Kiwami 2 in Real Life. :D

When you eat instant noodles while watching this XD Dunno why i like to watch food videos when i eat...Maybe it is because there is no good new content videos in a row in youtube :o
Alice Madness its more so you don't feel left out. I do it too
Alice Madness So you can pretend you eating what they're eatingn
I find watching something with really nice food in it can make the crap food you're eating while watching more enjoyable.

Alice Madness Kee too
Out of all the food vloggers on CZcams; Mikey has the most unique, creative and funniest commentary😂🙌🏼
I was eating a normal bowl of cereal while watching this 😔😔😔😔
heidiwang100 I am trying to fast and then I saw this 😭
At least u have the cereal...
heidiwang100 I was eating a feast of air while watching this
Your lucky cuz you eating something, I'm only drinking water
......
Me too
Living the dream! Hope I can be as financially stable as you, then go on a food trip to Japan.
He got sponsors that give him the travels i think (sorry for my english)
I wish I had a friend like you who would go to eating adventures
Sandra See yeah ! All my friends r students/ brutes who prefer cheap fast food over awesome food adventures or they r constantly on a diet to maintain thighgaps 😩😩😩 so I feel ya! Haha 😂
Valentina My friends and I seldom go out to eat good food together so I can relate that xD We always have fast food/instant food and it's so unhealthy :c
Sandra See without you
Great video! I lived in Kansai for 14 years, the last 2.5 in Osaka. My kids were born in Nara (about 30 min away by train). Takoyaki is their favorite food in the world. The locals even have takoyaki parties and like to experiment with different ingredients. A lot of the local kushikatsu restaurants let you cook it yourself at your table. Another thing that's really popular is yakiniku (Korean-Japanese BBQ). There's a charcoal or gas grill at your table and they bring the raw ingredients out to you to cook yourselves. There are also vendors that sell it on a skewer along with yakitori. Some of the best food I've ever had was there. You can really see why they call Osaka 'Japan's Kitchen.'
I'm sorry, I have a question. Where do I get this job exactly?! I NEED THIS JOB
PanthaPlayz just start vlogging around the world eating food or even start at local with great reviews
Which job i can fry stuff
PanthaPlayz you first have to be able to eat the amounts that Mike does lol
Mike eats more than anyone i've ever seen.
I love watching your videos, such a fan. I've never been to Japan before and it feels like I'm finally experiencing it.
Erica Carlos Once you grow up, you will get an air conditioner.
I spent a few days in Osaka on my honeymoon last fall and loved it. We went to that takoyaki place, then we had a full set meal at the famous crab restaurant and it was INCREDIBLE. Also, having grilled skewers on the Doronbori under a heated tent at night was an amazing time.
How was the temperature when you travelled?
13:04
Mike :"so many things to see, so many things to do, so many things to eat"
Me : Also so many people looking at you 😂
I want to go to Japan. Mike hire me to be your camera man lol.
I hate watching this on an empty stomach....Now my Cheerio's breakfast just won't be doing it for me
LOL
I love the good energy you send out, even when criticizing a food. I also love how you describe, I can definitely feel what you felt because of how good you describe the experience. You have a new subscriber 🙋🙋🙋
You honestly deserve ALL THE VIEWS AND SUBSCRIBERS!!! You’re the best in the food vlog world
I want to eat with youuuuuu. '' I hope they don't take the pudding away, I will defend it with my life'' me with food in general HAHAHA
LOL SSAAAME
Naeni B. Me
OH, I just noticed you have Tae in your profile picture. NICE😍👍🏾
BestAbsolutePerfect Nicole that's the oldest anime pic profile , what anime u been watching lately
manuluvsfifa Lmfao what???? I wasn't aware that anime had expiration dates?? Tf, who hurt you?
how could japanese ppl are so skinny while their foods taste like heaven
They have discipline
I have always wondered that
windy yuu the simple reason behind that they focus on quality not quantity. The food is so delicious but the portions are a lot smaller than the west. This is nice as you can eat a bigger variety of different foods but at the same time could be pricey to fill you up.
They eat alot of veggies and balance out their diet. Also, it's not like theyre eating street food Al the time... Home cooked meals are very different.
If I'm japanese, I could be the fatest from them all! 😅
I love your content Mike! It always inspires me to try new foods I wouldn’t normally eat! Also, you give me inspiration to cook more food from around the world! Sooooo...thank you Mike!! You’re an amazing individual!!
This channel is a great success... I remember when Mike first announced his second channel being a food channel... Science and food!! Two of some of my favorite things!!!
I'm hungry and I just woke up
Legends said if you're early enough Mike Chen will respond
Uncrafted your not early enough m8
I know I cry everyday T-T
i have to be faster-barry every fucking episode
What Mike Chen?
Strictly Dumpling is Mikey Chen. He has 2 channels.
Watching pre-COVID-19 stuff is weird af lol
I absolutely loved street food in Taiwan, way more than dinners. When COVID settles down, I can't wait to go and try Japanese street food!
...and I'm home eating a bowl of cereal without milk because money
Nell Weaver well...you're still well off... I have to eat cereal straight from the box
the loveable muslim weirdo You are better of than me I have to eat the box without cereal.
Tea Leaves well well lol, you are much better off then me because I am broke, I have to stand in the shop looking at the cerial box and imagine I am eating it.
+Petkel1987 well.. you are much better off than me cause I'm still on way to go to the shop just to look at the box but I'm weak as hell and don't have energy to walk no more cause of starvation.
even if I gain weight because my appetite keep rising after watching your videos ...well I don't care :D ... you're the best Mike
Takoyaki is my favorite Japanese food. If ever you get to try some- please do!

YES THE WHOLE REASON I LOVE OKINOMIYAKI IS BECAUSE OF RANMA 1/2 a true classic
@Al Cipta creep
Al Cipta NECKBEARD ALERT
I just recently found your channel and absolutely love it and your enthusiasm . Keep on eating your way around the world !
Dude, I have seen many videos of people touring Japan and yours are by far the best. You have great video quality, you know when to kill live sound and do voice overs, and you are authentic. I believe you are truly enjoying your experiences and speak from the heart without an over exaggerated script. Thank you for your great videos.
That Okonomiyaki is to die for. I can see myself flying all the way from California to Osaka just to try it. Lovely!
I legit watch this video maybe once every 2 or so months and I love it everytime
I hope you have more footage of Japan. Great work!
Don't use pictures of your toilet as your profile pic.
Congratulations! You completed the quest: Eat Okonomiyaki!
You have been my dining buddy for a week now! I love the way you eat and enjoy the food. I have this crazy dream of meeting you someday, one day. Thanks for sharing. All the BEST! 🎉
You know what i love this channel because i am a foodie and this dude is cool as hell and to people who haven’t seen ranma 1/2 that’s a classic shoutout to all the otaku’s out there.
Takoyaki is probably my favourite food ever. If I could I would eat it everyday.
This is my first morning in Osaka!
I always enjoy your videos but this one is special!
So grateful to have the opportunity to visit this wonderful country!
Yakuza 0 made me want to go to Osaka
Same.
The food in the games restaurants already looked very appetizing.
Now watching this video, their food looks seriously fantastic.
Nahh just go to the store and get some bento boxes
I love how he eats so much and still never says he's full haha!! It's great for a channel where you want to watch them show us and eat as much food as possible. Subscribed!

Honestly Mike, watching your videos make my day! glad you're having a great time :)
I love out of all the anime references you could’ve used, you chose Shakugan no shana for the melon bun👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕💕💕
I love watching you so much because you're like that one uncle that eats a ton of food and is just really fun
Great videos! I was an exchange student in Osaka some years back. Ahhh I miss it so much when I see Dotonburi and the atmosphere. The food makes me even more eager to go back :D
Spent the weekend watching all your video's. Now that I'm retired, I've now got nothing but time lol! Every one of your video's is great, and the most noticeable part is that you love what you do. You're personable, easy to listen to, and it feels like were with you sampling all these good eats. Thanks for your video's and I'll check out the new ones as they come. Best wishes!
So many dishes I haven't tried here! A dream food country and incredible culture. Thank you for sharing again!
Me: Bites into Mystery stick
Also Me: Thinking what it is
Me Again: “I have no idea what this is, but I like it”
I'm six videos in I cannot stop binge watching!! So refreshing to find a food blogger who actually describes the food properly, you need to be on television!
Love that you showing us many buildings and architectural alike. i hope to see more of this in other places you have been.
Liked your videos on Japan, it gave me a real good idea of everything when I planned my trip. Went to Japan recently and started posting my Japan series on my channel. Keep up the good work
Just found this channel!!! Awesome!!!! So much content!!!!
Did he say "Til we eat again" at the end? Because if he didn't that should totally be his sign off from now on ;p
Misshowzat he did also idc how late this is
Those sticks look soooooo good
Then you'd *love* my stick.
First Last getting itchy eh hahaha
I love his confidence
Can't wait to visit Japan, and try the food.
Jacky chan of food

I Actually got really bad stomach cramps whilst watching this, i had to pause and go eat first.
Thank You for a GREAT video. I lived and worked in Japan (Tsukuba) back in the 1980s and my co-workers took me to am Okonomiyaki restaurant that was FANTASTIC! One difference from your video is that we cooked it ourselves. The middle of our table was a giant grill. We were asked what protein or veggies we wanted and then were each brought a bowl of batter with those ingredients. There was plenty of room on the griddle so we could all cook at the same time. In addition to our "pancake" we also had bonito flakes and dried Nori (seaweed) flakes to sprinkle on our food. Definitely a tasty and satisfying meal for anyone visiting Japan! Again, THANK YOU for the video!
Great host, great content, great video editing. You can run a whole show!
I’d love to do a good tour with you. Seeing someone enjoy eating and tasting so many different things like you do is just as wonderful as trying the foods myself!
