I've only been watching your videos for about a year. . . .but I LOVE your posts. Plus, you're so handsome and sweet 💖 Thank you for sharing your culture w/us 🌈
itadakimasu -- Translates to "Let us eat".
itadakemasu -- Translates to "receive".
So, I think she's really saying the first, let us eat, and not the latter.
Thanks for this video (and all the others), very helpful. When I was in Tokyo a few years ago for work the hardest part about eating I found was figuring out which restaurant to go into and how to negotiate actually entering. The first place I tried had great reviews online, but when I arrived I needed a reservation. Since I was just wandering anyway I walked from Ebisu to Shinjuku and passed a number of places that were either empty (didn't seem like a good sign) or crowded with people outside waiting in groups, not what appeared to be a line. I ended up at a ramen place where I ordered from a machine outside, but didn't consider I needed to order a drink. (Which I know now from your videos and others. :) ) (I was also surprised by the push button automatic sliding door, when check was oddly satisfying.)
I was wondering if you might do a video on entering different types of food or drink establishments for people with very limited Japanese. Not sure if you've already done this and I know you cover a bit in separate videos, but I was surprised this is what tripped me up since I'm generally willing to eat anything.
Thanks again for the channel! Do you have a patreon I'm not finding?
The T shirt from a western perspective is actually awful. Sushi is generally associated with fish. To represent a girl as " fish" is a huge insult and vulgar.
My daughter is visiting Japan, in a week or so. She is allergic to all nuts, nut oils and seeds. How would she convey that in the restaurants? She only speaks English. Thank you for your assistance.
you should publish your own book/guide
Thanks korling99! Good suggestion.
@@PaolofromTOKYO Thats what this is!
If you do, you'll be giving out a lot of misinformation to all the snowflakes out there.
facts
@@busterbiloxi3833 why? He's been living in Japan for 15 years. He must know something
Just so you know, I came to Japan mostly due to your videos. You should be an official extension of the tourism board. Great videos
simo hayha? u wish, like i do ... nice to know that the king is not dead...LONG LIVE THE KING
I keep saying the same thing Paolo you should organized a Private tour of at least 5-6 People (you can do more depending on how comfortable you are) and give a tour of all the food spots, places of Japan.
I have an upcoming trip to Japan and in researching places or things I might need, like Japanese sim cards, I've seen Paolo's videos linked on official pages to help explain or suggest stuff. It's great to see people recognizing his helpfulness and all the information he shares :D
I think hes earning alot of money through youtube and adverts
Its probably not worth working in tourism.
But i see your point. Hes amazing at explaining everything .
I watch all his videos from beginning to end.
...which is very rare for me. Lol.
He has me hooked .
Ive never learnt so much ...hes so entertaining.
Sadly i can't travel anymore, not even go outside my house
, as i am very poorly and at end of life now.
But i sure feel like im traveling to Japan in my dreams
..through all his videos.
Ive loved every minute !
Maybe i will visit japan when im in heaven.😂
My long childhood friend who i went to college and lived with ..
...she is chinese , and moved to uk at 7 yrs old .
I thought she was wonderful and loved her culture.
She ended up being a great graphic designer .
I miss her .
Anyway i hope he never stops filming .
The channel should live forever .
💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💙💙💜💜💜👍
Regarding the slurping: I was taught that slurping Ramen or Soba Noodles was mostly in order slurp up as much of the broth as possible. Also it should aid to cooling down the noodles while eating them, because especially Ramen are very hot when you recieve them. By slurping you can eat them very fast without burning your mouth.
Another reason is that slurping allows one to take in more aroma from the ramen or soba. It was proven by detecting aroma stimuli from a Japanese study on slurping vs not slurping noodles, slurping them increased the aroma intake by over 30% as compared to not slurping.
Hands down it's one of the most useful videos about Japan has ever created!! I've been watching videos on youtube about Japan for the past 6 years, made by bloggers from Japan, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Latin America, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, etc, including official tv shows on NHK channel. So I have heard about most of those tips, but NEVER in one video. Plus I have been wondering for some time about "checks being paid at the register" and "leaving the ramen broth not eaten". You are the only one who answered my questions. Great video! Highly recommend!
Thanks for the ultra kind words Fukurou! I’m happy that you enjoyed this video.
Great comment bro!
Forgot to add the no eating and walking tip although he had mentioned it in another video.
I was taught “itadakimasu” is to show gratefulness towards the people who were involved in the process of growing and cooking the food. If it’s at home, it means thank you for cooking, mom. At least that’s how my family thinks.
"I will humbly receive" the words mean gratefulness for receiving something like food, but that doesn't mean that the person actually cares or wants to express it.
Thank you Monica s
You know it well.
Thank you for the lives and the people who make our food.
もう一つ意味があります。生き物の命に感謝していただくという意味もあるのです。
9:12 In the past 2 years or so I've noticed an interesting trend: the customer is expected to put the money on the tray, but the cashier places the change directly into the customer's palm in a very friendly manner (sometimes even cupping the back of the customer's hand). I was surprised the first time this happened but noticed it become more and more common.
I remember the first time a Japanese cashier handed me my card and receipt back to me like that. I was taken by surprise since it was a store in America but I just remember that it was so nice and it made my day. Felt so heart warming and wished that it happened more haha
I've traveled and worked in Japan over many years, and I think you nailed this list perfectly! Nice job.
i love your doggie
you're 1 of the top informational japan vlogger. like real specific culture stuffs. better than other japan *Tips* channel. :D
Thanks Lithianic!
Hi Lithianic, if you like Japan videos then maybe our channel could be of interest to you 😊
@@MillennialTravelConfessions Don't do this
Yeah such great tips
Hi, Paolo! Didn’t include this tip: When ready to order, you need to call out “Sumimasen” so the waitstaff will come over and take your order.
Thank you for this video! Good tips to know when eating in Japan!
Ah! No wonder it's so difficult to get served when you shout "Oi! Garçon!"
@@JK_Clark Oui oui!
My 3rd time coming to Japan was the first for my gf. She was quite shocked to know that we are always expected to finish all of our order and we gotta always get our own order. But as time goes on, it’s not a big problem, as Japanese food is either Good or Very Good.
As for drinks, i shared beer with my gf, i know it might be a faux pas, but Japanese beer glass felt really big in my opinion, and being a rare alcoholic drinker, it’s quite wholesome.
But i understand the principal concept of eating in Japan, it’s about being grateful for the food being served for you, as the food used to be a living thing that ‘sacrificed’ their lives for our own good.
Anyway, great video Paolo!
pokcay. Cant be true. Westerners have the big portions, unnecessary extra drinks and over-eat - not the Japanese. This is why they are thinner! Jk of course. Actually, my experience has been that they eat and drink a lot more than I do.
I had the privilage of visiting w/ students a while back, & I wondered how they managed to stay so thin w/ all they ate ! o.O 😲🤔 they do tend to walk around more, very walkable cities. Also, generally healthier too? Maybe that stuff's part of it x) ~
@@aajohnsoutube Westerners are more overweight on average mostly because they eat unhealthy foods. That is the single biggest factor. Portions and lack of exercise are secondary.
Dude you really helped me get through Quarantine these past months. Just seeing you and your wife makes me so happy idk why! From the way you talk and explain things plus your videos are so fun! Thanks and keep it up!
It's okay Japan, I don't understand Western diets either.
Haha when it comes to food westeners are the most misinformed in the world. Some people don't even realize chicken nuggets are made of chicken. It's preposterous. Funny and sad at the same time.
As a Westerner myself, I am often confused as hell about much of what is considered part of western diet.
Western is not synonymous with American.
There are plenty of amazing European diets.
what the fuck is a western diet
Facts 😂
When i was in elementary school i remember reading a book and it said slurping your noodles is complimentary to the chef lmao LIES!
My father once said the louder you burp, the better is the quality of food lol
@@rohanghoshdastidar1047 That's China
@@rohanghoshdastidar1047 it was common everywhere something like 200 years ago
@@rohanghoshdastidar1047 I'm pretty sure I saw that in Shogun by James Clavell. But it's probably an antiquated thing by now
I think someone went there and thought that it was a disgusting habit compared to what they were used to in the west and so maybe a Japanese person embarrassed when asked made that up and the foreigner brought this idea with them back and spread it around.
First of all, thank you for taking the time to make these videos. We have just recently returned from a holiday to Japan. It was the most wonderful experience. The people, the food, the culture! All amazing. Its great to watch your videos and remind ourselves of the wonderful culture. x . thank you
Man Paolo, this video is spot on (just like all your other informational vids)!! I've been to Japan 10 times in the past 8 years and I think of all of these food tips every single trip! Take away boxes, sharing, the money tray, and customizing are the topics I think visitors should definitely be aware of when visiting Japan.
Thank you for making such great quality videos about Japan Paolo! Not sure if you agree but I've noticed a massive amount of visitors over the last 5 years or so. Japan has gotten so popular!
Thank you so much! This video is truly helpful. The first time my family and I were in Japan. Restaurant customs were a bit confusing for us. There was one time my sister and I wanted to eat at a restaurant that served omurice but our parents wanted to eat somewhere else and when they went there with us just for the sake of accompanying us, we were told that each person was required to order one meal. This was something we were unfamiliar with and we had to compromise. My sister and I ended up staying at the place while our parents went to eat at the other restaurant they wanted to go to.
Thanks once again. This video really puts things into perspective!
Thank you, so informative and your vids are really nicely produced with loads of facts and humour! 👍🏻
In early morning just wake up and found new video about japan culture, thank you for sharing paolo 😊
Thanks nurria apriyanti! Glad you like my Japanese culture related vids.
I'm taking friends to Japan next year and was looking for informative vids when I came across yours. You are by far the best vlogger for visiting Japan. You don't waste time with inane chatter but you're funny and get the point across with professionalism. Keep up the great work.
I've been watching your videos for so long and am so excited to finally be able to experience Japan first hand. Heading to Tokyo next week and cannot wait to eat my way through the city!
I'm glad you touched on food allergies. I've been to Japan 9 times and having an intolerance to wheat, pork, and soy is really difficult. Even with my Japanese friend most restaurants did not understand.
Should’ve just stayed home.
@@Lj-er8mo That's the spirit!
Just tolerate them bro, it isn't that difficult
@@elpollochileno I hope you never develop wheat and soy in tolerance.
@@simonedwards1963 why would I develop them? I'm not stupid
Thanks for all your great videos . Japanese culture is amazing and fascinating, I work as a server and love serving them. Magic in the culture
Cleaning up after oneself has become more popular in the USA in the past few years. I like it. Many places have a similar set up one bin for plastic one for paper and so on. Our society can learn a lot from yours. Thanks. Love your videos man.
I appreciate your videos a lot. They're so helpful because you include a list and times. It makes it so easy to navigate and take notes for trip planning .
Thx paolo, your video really help me when i'm in tokyo.. already miss japan.
Awesome! Glad you found the info useful charles anderson!
Thanks for making great videos that helped me out on my trip now :3
Thank you so much for all of your videos! You have been helping my girlfriend and I through a very tough time. We love watching your content to unwind after a long day. We wish you and your family the best and we hope to use these tips when we eventually visit Japan!
Your guides are a great help! I recommend your videos to friends who are looking to take a trip to Japan. Thanks for your work!
06 - When I was at Japan I was always given a big container full of chilled water with ice in every restaurant. Maybe I was lucky.
We don't have to order a drink
But we have to order a drink at the izakaya, pub which serves alcohol (*o*)
And I heard Westerner & American have to order a drink at the restaurant
After watching this vid, I understood it was disinformation (^_^;)
This is truly important article! Since I’ll go to Japan with my kids and you give me a new insight about where I can or can’t share food. Thank you so much Paolo ❤️
I love your videos, I've almost finished watching all of them! Can you do some videos on speaking basic Japanese for food ordering?
love all the helpful tips. I'm going to japan soon, and I love watching these videos. Hope your family is well!!
We’re in Okinawa now! Mainland next week! Your videos have been so helpful getting us back into the culture after so long!
Glad that my vids have helped. Enjoy the rest your trip in Okinawa.
I've seen vegetarian and vegan food being discussed before online, and the best tip I caught from that discussion was to order food that Budhist monks eat - that's how you can convey the idea or vegetarian food. But, veganism/vegetarianism as a "diet choice", does not make much sense in Japanese culture. Fish is a central element in near all cooking, so that's what you're gonna get if you order Japanese food.
Another tip, is to eat non-Japanese food, like going to an Indian restaurant. That sort of defeats the purpose of going to Japan in the first place, so perhaps that's a bit disappointing. But, it was one tip I've heard from vegan/vegetarian foreigners talking about living in Japan for an extended period of time. It's one way to ensure you can order vegetarian options from the menu.
I was thinking that is the most practical.
Hey Paolo, your videos are great! I'm looking forward to visiting Japan and find your videos really helpful!
I'm so glad you created this channel. I am teaching myself as well as kids about respecting other cultures and seeing how other people live out side of the U.S. I think others should follow your format. Very informative
Thanks for letting me know about sharing! I can’t finish my food so my husband and I share all the time but we get hungry fast too lol
Everybody should know about these tips before travelling to japan xD well done Paolo!!
Good tips! Some I already knew and some are new. Definitely keeping in mind for our trip this weekend! Arigato!
I’m truly enjoying your channel and your adventures. Thank you.
Love this video, Paolo! 😀👍
Wow Jade! You're on a roll. Always good to hear from you early.
you are literally the kindest and sweetest man ever :((
This is very helpful! Thanks Paolo!!
Another excellent video Paolo! Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the tip, off to Osaka next week😍
In my experience, the tray thing extends to almost every situation when money changes hands (and when using credit cards). Someone told me that it was to make crystal clear the amount being tendered which is why clerks count and confirm with you upon payment and again when giving change. The no-touching thing is an interesting theory too.
Great tips bro 👍
This is very helpful for new traveler to Japan.
Your videos are becoming more chill with the way your recording, it's really nice and relaxing to watch/ have run in the back ground c:
awesome new intro, Paolo!
i was definitely told slurping your noodles was a compliment to the chef 😂
Thanks Paolo, this is so helpful.
so authentic and honest. great vid!
Hey, Paolo! With the rising trend of craft beer in Japan, do you think you could do a vid about the best craft beers bars/breweries?
is there a difference between CRAFT beer and just....beer ?
@@jinhunterslay1638 Yes
@@dado4352 ....well? what is it!
Nice intro! Amazing video!
I love it too!
Your videos are really helpful especially before we visited Japan! Thanks Paolo :)
subbed! can't stop watching your vids..very informative!
The 'sushi' restaurant with no waiters and a mini train that brings the food to you. DO THAT ONE!!!
I think slurping the noodles one of the reason is it cools down the noodles before your tongue feels them. As well, slurping makes noodles looks more delicious to other people haven’t eaten yet. Moreover, slurping would help you to get more soup covering the surface of noodles compare to not slurping noodles which that soup covers the surface dripping down back to the bowl. So slurping helps to cool down the noodles and it’s a faster way to capture more soup to cover the surface of each noodle which actually makes your noodles more enjoyable
张峰 the slurping sound makes me feel disgust to the person (adult) 👉🏻👈🏻
Whenever I go to Japan and eat ramen, if I see foreigners eating quietly, I think to myself... "Must be noobs"🙄
@@roro2k lol
informative comment there, thx ~ 🍜
and its offensive in my culture. It indicates that you have no respect/plain rude for the people around you. Personally i get nauseous if people eat like that. Very bad Japanese habbit...same goes for eating with your mouth open.
Absolutely love your videos. They are very informative and gives great insight into the life and culture. Please keep making them. I love Japanese culture.
Thanks Paolo, very good and helpful information. Will be in Japan next week.
Hi, Paolo
You didn’t mention about toilet yet...!
How works toilets in Tokyo...?!?
Thanks
THIS IS A GREAT CHANNEL.....HOPE YOU KEEP UP THE CULTURAL EXCHANGE....FROM SOUTH CAROLINA U.S.A.
I usually think that youtubers seem a little conceited, but you just changed my perspective completely! I have been watching your videos since yesterday and I love them!! You seem so nice and are so knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing all this with us! :)
I watched all of Paolo's videos before I went to Japan, and they were so helpful!! I just started posting Japan vlog from my trip last year, thank you Paolo for your inspiration! 💖💖💖
how much did you pay in total for your trip?
how to say some small key words like thank you and goodbye. To be polite..
all these cool tips literally 7 days before i go to japan for the first time! october 2nd cant come soon enough!
In Japan now. Lots of rain and effects from a Typhoon are expected to hit Sunday. Use the bus from Narita and get the 72 hour subway passes. Use Google maps or Hyperdia for subway connections.
Molon Labe thank you for the heads-up! hopefully it wont be too bad on tuesday! i'll be landing in haneada which is closer to tokyo so hopefully i can get to my airbnb without too much trouble.
Excellent information! The slurping thing I knew about but, it's sure good to know about not finishing food, doggie bags, sharing and not sharing. Very helpful. I really liked this video. Watched it 3 times.
Thank you so much! I can't wait to visit Japan in the new year!
Great tips, man. Some of them I just never think about any more, but when I visited Canada last summer I remember looking for the cash tray at Walmart and asking the cashier where I should put the money ;) She said could just hand it to her... haha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤗🤗🤗
This phenomenon is known as reverse culture shock.
@@williamjames212 that's cool. didn't kno that term, thx
I believe slurping noodles is a solution to a mechanical problem: How do you get those long noodles hanging below the hashi into your mouth without slurping? With pasta, you can twirl the noodles around your fork (and as a side note, Japanese don't slurp their pasta), but slurping uses the Bernoulli effect to get the ramen/udon/soba into your mouth. Also, if the soup is boiling hot, slurping cools the food down so you don't burn your mouth.
"How do you get those long noodles hanging below the hashi into your mouth without slurping?"
- I guess you could just cut those long noodles with your teeth. I tried doing it once, I ran out of breathe just by slurping lol.
Awesome tips!! Thanks Paolo
Solid advice Paolo! ありがとうございます。🙏
I love the comment on slurping. "It's like using a steak knife in the states."

You get a sub for your thoughtfulness, helpfulness and thoroughness!!! 😍
It's not required to order drinks in restaurants; it's okay to just ask for water, or in some cases tea, which is almost always free. In establishments that serves alcohol such as bars or izakayas, you are expected to order drinks. You don't need to finish your meal when you dine out. I was born and raised in Japan and I've never heard such thing.
You mosly get free water indeed! but it can be considered as rude if you dont finish your meal.
Depends on the restaurant. There were a few we went to, especially theme restaurants, that required each person to order a drink. Definitely not everywhere tho.
same
@@thepersianqueen4995 Those themed cafes are mostly very expensive as well. If you go to a local restaurant water is mostly free and sometimes tea is as well.
Good. Because my stomach is tiny .
#7 my late mom (from Kyushu) slurped ramen, soba and everything. 🤢 "it tastes better!" 🤣😂
So informative. Thanks for your help with understanding the Japanese daily way of life
Aaaannddd I’m hungry again lol Thanks for the helpful tips Paolo! I’ll be sure to remember them when I go back to Japan this April 🙌🏼
"because they don't like being touched" lol
Can you please please please do a video on halal restaurants please once again
Nicely done. Also, Love the T-shirt Bradda!
Thank you so much for the very very kind videos you make, Im planning on moving to japan without knowing about japanese manners and etiquettes. Thank you so much❤❤
Do a video with your vegetarian friend and show us all her hit spots!
this could be interpreted incorrectly by some...like me.
2:40 Ouch, that is gonna suck really hard because we are extremely picky and dont even finish food we like half the time ... that's gonna be awkward ... Do they do to-go boxes there? 7:50 oh man that sucks >.<
5:10 my girlfriend is kosher. Is that gonna be a big problem? are there a lot of pork based broths?
6:35 for my health, I've only been drinking water. and we dont drink alcohol. hope its not too awkward ordering water. Never even thought about that before. =\
Man, this sounds like it's gonna be an rough trip food-wise xD
I believe most broth is fish-based. There are a lot of pork-based broth but you will know it.
I don't know what restaurant Paolo is talking about, because the cheaper restaurant usually provide you with refillable tea for free (and he has talked about it before). Also, Japanese people rarely drink when eating. Are you okay with tea? I have been 2 times going to Japan, I never ordered a drink, ever. The meal usually come with a glass of tea. Maybe I also get a foreigner pass. It won't be awkward I assure you. It's a shame if you started getting afraid about food because food in Japan is awesome
You sound fun
Then dont fucking go picky pricks
Go to your local Japanese town/Little Tokyo in your city.....and don’t come.
Like the saying goes... When in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you can't, best decision would be not to go. And they cover it boxes in the video too...
Great and informative video, thanks a million!
I went to coco curry for the first time and didn't realise how big the portion size was and left quite a bit. I felt really bad about it because my friend couldn't finish hers either and when we were leaving we saw the server shaking his head.... 😧
filthy foreigners
@@ando1135 yep thats me bitch
it is possible to share it though? its hard to tell when u could share the food or not
@@maxeenee in the restaurant i was in I'd say no. They were busy and had people lining up to get a seat bc there wasn't much space. I didn't expect the portions to be that large too. I felt bad but ate as much as i could 😔
ahh i see! this restaurant is in my country too but i've never been there bc i dont eat curry. hmm, food portion could be an issue for me if i go to japan since im a small eater!! (can't even finish a bowl of rice, i usually share my food with others)
I doubt they give a damn about a tourist not slurping their noodles, or ordering a drink. Just don't be logan paul...That's the only advice you need.
Love this video, but I generally love your whole channel. Always so informative and such a good guide on how to do things in Japan!
Thanks Ayanna Camacho!
Love you videos gonna buy some merch this Friday
I think most sensible people can understand why these dining traditions came about. It's just the entitled citizens of a certain star system who'll kick up a fuss about not getting non-meat wagyu beef from a roadside izakaya.
I'd say it's pretty close to European eating manners as well. Nothing particularly special.
The noodle slurping is so hard to watch. 🍜
Thank you for your another amazing video it will be a great help for my first trip to Tokyo next month 🤗👍
Nice! Videos like these prepares me for my trip to japan . Arigato for the helpful tips! 🙏
