- Everyone is telling you what no one tells you about Japan, so I figured I'd give my unique input on some things ''no one'' has told you about Japan.. Yet.. Because I just did.

You wish you were Chris with 3 million subs... your video sucks. Low IQ no entertainment and lame non relevant jokes
Everyone, meet my number 1 fan!
9:46 Cicada will be my alarm clock in summer morning. 😵💫 But voice of a kind of cicada that will begin to cry in evening makes me feel the end of summer. 🌇
"Crispy Broad"... his final form after consuming too much Famichiki
😂😂
Also the lack of outdoor seating really gets me, like you I like sitting outside with a nice brewski and it sucks there isnt really a culture for it here
Absolutely! Really wish it was more popular!
Looks like my decision to live off KFC and McDonalds for 3 weeks was actually the healthy option! Got lots of good fresh fruit in hotel breakfast buffets, don’t know how they always have it when it’s not in the shops? Same as Portugal, there’s great salad in restaurants but you can’t get a lettuce anywhere in the supermarkets.
Haha seems like a good decision! I always take advantage if I'm staying at a nice place with lots of fruit in the buffet, I guess they just have a good deal with a provider!
I agree with 99% but having patio seating is almost impossible in Japan. The climate is just too rainy
Just gets better and better! Keep up the great work. Waiting for that vid about The Hub you kinda promised someday too. Lol
Thank you so much man! Hub vid is something I really wanna do, so it'll be out before you know it!
On the fake beer: Watering down High Gravity brews is pretty common with most large (European) brands but they just aren't open about it.
Standard Operation Procedures:
Brew an 11% beer and water it down.
Get to 11% not by adding more malts (grains) but adding various syrops.
Don't properly lager the beer (because it takes time), just add chemical to mimic the wished effect.
...
And people ask me why I pay extra for some good Belgian beer delivered 😂
I appreciate your content. I was almost being sold on Japan. I despise bugs almost a deal breaker for me. Good to know.
I felt called out on the healthy food part lol. And yeah those insects are kinda scarry ngl.
Great stuff as always 😁👍
😂😂
3:53 🍕🍟 Move aside, boring old sandwich with fries! There's a new sheriff in town, namely our Nordic abomination, the kebab pizza with fries on top! 🎉 Imagine a cheesy, saucy slice of heaven loaded with savoury meats topped with a bed of golden, crispy fries, topped with an irresistible yoghurt-based sauce. It's like a party in your mouth that you never want to end! Prolonged use will have adverse effects on your waistline.
Kebab pizza with sauce, fries and lettuce is a Norwegian-Swedish abomination. A life changing, delicious abomination! 😂
Great video! Watching all the way from the Philippines
Salamat!
Superb and extremely accurate video. I see that subscriber number continue to tick up, Emil!
Anyway, onto my ¥2:
1) I remember going into a grocery store in Kuromon Market (in Osaka, for those who don't know) to get a few things to bring back to my hotel, and for curiosity's sake as I am a decent home cook and was interested in seeing how much groceries were in Japan compared to back home in the states. The prices of fruit was WAY more. I'll post a photo to the channel discord showing my spoils. Were they excellent, ripe fruit? Absolutely. Were they worth the ridiculous price? Probably not. Strawberries picked at a u-pick roadside farm in Washington are just as good, if not better, and at a fraction of the price even with the horrible yen/dollar rate.
2) Yes, Japanese food is not that healthy. Granted, one could argue that a lot of those foods are imports from other countries (tempura from Portugal, for example), but it's a marvel at how slim a lot of Japanese folks are considering how much fried food and carbs there are. You mentioned soba-meshi, but yakisoba-pan in conbinis was utterly ridiculous to me. Hot carb on carb action there, baby!
3) Work culture can be shit in any country one can go to. Asshole bosses are not a rarity in the world, unfortunately.
4) The Strong Zero/Shochu combo seems like a challenge to me. A new gaijin killer, perhaps.
5) The only time I saw outdoor seating was outside of a few izakayas in places where there was a lot of room in the street. It's a true shame that it's not more prevalent, to be honest. This time of the year is a great time to enjoy outdoor seating, so it's frustrating that it's not as prevalent. It's definitely prevalent where I am.
6) And I think we have our answer as to part of why that is - the goddamned bugs. Several of the insects where I call home are terrifying, but nowhere near as awful looking as that centipede. Fuck that.
7) Ah yes, the eigo problem. However, I learned that a little Japanese goes a long way for folks, as is true in any other country. But man, a lot of the younger generation does a superb job of speaking English confidently. I do know the terror of the conbini workers, though - I saw that a few times myself.
Awesome points, yet again!
Thank you so much Venuz! Lots of good info from you here as a seasoned Japan enjoyer, these ¥2 are always on point!
I think my brain just wanted to forget about both yakisoba pan and korokke pan lol!
I’m in Nara right now, heading into Osaka tomorrow for two days, if you want to have a few beers or get shitfaced give me shout. I have no problem leaving my family for one night by themselves so I can have some beers 🍻
As much as I'd like to, I'm stuck with work in Okayama since I took time off for golden week! Enjoy man 🍻🍻
Hey cheers man I really like your content.
Thank you!
Awesomely silly video XD
Informative as well!
Yakisoba sandwich all carb all the time. So the key to practice Japanese is to shop at stores all the time and maybe to correct a Japanese person everytime they speak English at you. Also throw in a 英語上手 at the end for good measure, this channel is giving all kinds of great ideas.
Yakisoba sando, then a korokke sando for desert! Flipping the script to an eigo jouzu is always a good idea lol
Hi Emil - or I'll accept you as Frank - being from Australia I guess I see quite a few "Jesus Christ, fuck that!" insects, but most can be dealt with by stamping on them or hitting with a thong. Gotta be careful though, that you kill the big ones outright and don't just piss them off! But I do like cicadas - love listening to them on a warm summer night. So, when you get your tour company up and running for small bespoke groups of your I -want-to-visit-Japan-can-you-be-our-tour-guide fans.....give me a bit of a discount and I'll come along and sort out the insects!
😂😂 You'll be appointed clearer of centipedes!
I ripped off Chris Broad's thumbnail on the same topic for funsies.

Great video
Thanks for watching!
Are those centipedes dangerous?
They are poisonous and will bite, but not fatal (unless you're allergic, kinda like wasps I've heard)
goood I watched nausicaa, so I m pretty immune now.
okay 3rd comment lol, not sure if youve ever watched norsemen (Vikingane) but I feel like the fact you have the same norweigen accent as that show makes stuff you say funnier haha
Lol I've heard about the show but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Might be time to do it soon 😂🇳🇴
@@JustAnotherJapanChannel Do it mate, not sure about the Norwegian version but the English is so funny it'd all just dumb man humour 😂
9:51 Babytalk - Part 2 😆
😂
You do WHAT with mayonnaise?
😂
Mmmmmmmmmm Crispy Broad
😂😂
You have a Hollywood version of samurai in your head. The last samurai is Hollywood bullshit.
Trying to be relatable here instead of diving deep into bushido lmao

W takes (even though i kinda like the cicadas)
Cicadas are ok after you get used to them and they become sort of like white noise, but that first week straight out of a quiet winter is brutal!
they prob just talk to you in eng because your accent is very heavy plus you're not asian.
also for the outdoor seating I think you're siloing your thinking in tokyo. there are places everywhere in kyoto, osaka, fukuoka, kobe with great outdoor seating izakaya or otherwise.
Name one in Osaka that isn't the HUB at Abenos Q Tennoji, a shitty rooftop in Umeda or those gnarly half outdoors draped in plastic izakayas. Did not see any good ones other than those the years I lived in Osaka. And no, fuck Tokyo. 関西gang
First!
