  • Ekiben, translated literally as Train Station Box Lunch, is a fun and delicious way to enjoy a train ride in Japan. Today we're taking you on a one-day trip from Tokyo to.....a really random place that ended up being a lot of fun! That's the thing about Japan. You can do the most mundane of things and still have fun!

    I cracked up when he mentions you can take the claypot home, and satoshi just says "YAAAY" in a low voice in the background

      Satoko Chan yes they are... they've said so in several videos. Even Shinichi said so on his channel.

    Wow looks amazing- Id get it just for the clay pot (the food is a bonus lol)

    @LibraHellreader Před 7 lety +105

    For the price of the bento in a clay pot, here in French train stations you can get a miserable industrial sandwich. Ready to eat food in Japan looks so tasty, and way ealthier than what we find here. I might learn Japanese and go to Japan for a whilr just for the food xD

    • @janetKmiller
      @janetKmiller Před 7 lety +8

      Learn basic Japanese and go! It's easy to speak it badly (difficult to speak it well) and Japanese people are so kind and helpful. They will love your language effort and you will have an amazing time.

      Japanese and Korean cultures and foods are very very different, almost the exact opposite all the time.
      They are very different genetically too.

  • @keeperofthegood
    @keeperofthegood Před 7 lety +69

    That clay pot is MILES and MILES better a container than plain Styrofoam or printed cardboard. I wish our nation (Canada) would pass laws that encouraged regionalized containers like those (and maintained that regionalism by not allowing companies to be bought or sold... used to have a great cottage industry of wine here, now it is almost all owned by one company and the real beauty has been lost). Not only beautiful but infinitely re-usable and a way to create artisan jobs and a reason to create pride in a population as well as create desire in other populations to come for a visit.

    • @GradenVeEvel
      @GradenVeEvel Před 7 lety +2

      Well Japan have been doing that kind of stuff for decades ever since the War end.
      Since it's their way to recover from the war and money.

    • @keeperofthegood
      @keeperofthegood Před 7 lety +7

      They have and have longer than that. It's a tradition-set that goes back a very long time. I think we can benefit from this idea that a destination is worth the trip because what is there is uniquely there.

    • @yoanhartono8691
      @yoanhartono8691 Před 7 lety +8

    The kamameshi sounds like such a great combination of different flavors. There's certain things that end up in bento like taro root that I'm not wild about, but everything in there sounds delicious.

    I like what Satochi had for lunch that came in a Daruma container. It has a variety of stuff in it and a souvenir to keep after finishing the lunch. I also like the lunch you bought at Gunma that came in a clay pot.

    I just found your videos and enjoy them a lot. I was 19 when I saw Tokyo briefly and then got to visit Yakota 6 months later in 1976. I will never forget visiting the restaurant and sitting around the low table with green tea and a wonderful meal with friends.

    Wow! What a fun trip! I have actually never been on a train before but I would love my first trip on a train to be a trip like that! It looked like so much fun! I loved the rural areas and especially those mountains! Simply stunning.... The food looked so healthy and delicious! I can't wait to visit Japan in the future! Thanks for sharing!

  • @artbecker5618
    @artbecker5618 Před 7 lety

    I've been to Yokokawa a couple times, and had kamameshi bento both times. Yokokawa is where the helper locomotives used to be attached to trains from Tokyo, to get them over the steep mountain grades, through Usui Pass, to Nagano. When the Shinkansen was built to Nagano, there was no need for this section of the railroad anymore, so it was closed down. However, it was a great place for a railroad museum, since there was a lot of equipment there that was no longer needed, plus a lot of workers with railroad experience lived in the area. Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Takasaki, then a local train to Yokokawa. It's a great day trip, with the kamameshi bento as a wonderful bonus, and the clay pot as an excellent souvenir.

    Greetings from Australia. Another very enjoyable video gentlemen. I must say that I quite like going on adventures with you guys and seeing the sites as well as the food.
    I have visited Japan quite a bit but because I can not read the kanji, I don't always make the best decisions for me or my wife. Your videos really help me know just what is available, so maybe next time she will think I am suddenly smart ;-] Well done to you both.

    This was a lovely video. I enjoyed it so much! The clay pot bento looks absolutely phenomenal...I wish I could try it! That makes my mouth water just to look at it. All of the ekiben you two tried really look very good. The whole day looked so enjoyable, despite the chilly and windy weather. It was nice the wind calmed down for your hike. The scenery was so pretty. I loved the Gunmachan manju at the end. It was nearly too cute to eat! I was just thinking "Anko!!!!" in my mind when you said my name! It's so kind of you to think of me. I hope that it tasted as delicious as it looked. I would love to see another train journey again some day, with more ekiben. This was great! Thanks for the wonderful video, and the shout-out with the manju filled with anko! :-) You two are fantastic. Sending love to you from California.
