They were allowed to do any flavour, the only thing that was meant to be Japanese, was the steamed buns, which obviously, is the issue, since it is Chinese. They didn't think that India is the same as Japan. They just chose an Indian filling.
With in reason you can? White beans actually hold a lot of different flavors really well. Green tea, coffee, chocolate just plain old red beans are good. They also have pizza buns over there as well as chestnut and probably a few other super experimental flavors because it’s Japan and they do that, a lot.
I would have made a pizza one. Creative by GBB standards, but relatively standard in Japanese convenience stores, so there is some authenticity. Also since the Japanese word for steamed buns is “man,” a pizza one is a “pizza man” and I just can’t resist that.
@@jax_firestorm9689 For the “kawaii” showstopper (which they pronounced wrong, but whatever) I would have made a Japanese Christmas cake to reference my own status - lol.

@@bryanho4613 I know how to say it. I speak Japanese. I said you were wrong because you added the ‘ as it should just be konnichiwa when written romaji
To be fair, I think the guy who acknowledged his recipe was more Chinese was just exploiting how dumb a “Japanese week” “steamed buns” challenge is in general and how culturally inept the judges and show-runners are
Don't like gurkins. My response would have been, hmm very uncultured palette for a cooking show judge. Seriously though may as well say he doesn't like crusts on his sandwiches, fucking child.
He’s also the guy who won the season and was the youngest contestant. Smart guy and absolutely knew he was gaming the system and the judges wouldn’t notice.
3:58 they heard Japanese and just went “Eh how about the whole continent of Asia? Yeah that sounds right. It’s all the same.” But god forbid if some says England and Scotland is the same 😱😱
As a Chicana at heart with chicana dtrs, I also thought they did a HUGE disservice to the amazingly huge & flavorful variety of outstanding Mex cuisine.
@@ztakahashiyang they made tacos for the technical instead of anything actually baked, and the judges kept pronouncing a lot of things wrong, as well as the were dong pan dulce and only like 2 people didn't do conchas
Next on “Japanese Week,” we will be making sushi rolls… with Camel meat, Tabasco Peppers, Long Grain Wild Rice, and Texas BBQ sauce. I think Jamie Oliver directed this episode
Dango, daifuku, mochi, taiyaki, Swiss roll, toast, fluffy pancake, Castella, yokan, wagashi, yam cake, melonpan, karepan, yakisoba pan, anpan(man)...... SERIOUSLY DID ANYONE HAVE GOOGLE ON THIS SHOW
Now…. I’m not Japanese, but I’m an American who really appreciates Japanese cuisine and Asian food in general because it’s just so good and is the best kind of food ever. This episode hurt. I have made a lot Japanese food with Japanese ingredients over the years and even made homemade ramen which took 2 days to make plus steamed pork buns to go on the side of that. Literally the Japanese pork buns (nikuman) I made were simple and delicious with not that many ingredients. It is literally not that hard people how tf do you mess this up and not even know which ingredients are Japanese…. I guess the meme about Brits not being able to cook is correct 😔
Don't expect too much from a TV show... nobody under 50 has a TV license. TV is something old folks have on all day long because they don't know about podcasts.
Or maybe Japan lost but in addition to losing WW2, China and India joined forces for some reason and conquered Japan and forced their culture onto Japan. Kinda like how the Spanish conquered the Aztecs and made them speak Spanish and now Spanish is widely spoken in Latin America.

"You make the bun look like cute version of animal, and then you fill the bun with dead version of animal" Actually, that's totally something Japan would do if they'd thought of it first. Never underestimate a culture that combined chicken with eggs over rice and called it "parent and child bowl"
A funny thing about Japan is that most of these buns would be accepted in Japan just based on cuteness. In Japan almost any ingredient is okay as long as it is palatable for the locals
Hey! First you say that buns are a better version of a sandwich, then you're mad when they make a hamburger sandwich into a bun! Literally, following your advice! 😂😂 It was a trap!

I've tried it at an aunt's house. But it didn't have any apple lol. Just mango flavoured daal it tastes a bit like mango chutney not bad. We ate it with rice would be weird in buns
“饅頭(manjyuu)” might be the steam bun traditionally eaten at japan, although similar things are found in China too. They even share the same Chinese characters because it originates from China, but it came in Japan at around 1200 A.D. so they did develop differently. Sweet red bean will basically be the only filling since we didn’t eat meat (one of the big difference with the Chinese ones). “酒饅頭(Saka-Manjyu)” is my favorite. Uses Japanese Sake lees to ferment the dough, so there is a slight smell of sake when steamed. Warm and delicious. And no, we do not fill it with pork or curry😂
British people doing Japanese food: "Do you know anything about Japanese cuisine?" "No, let's just cram in as many Asian things as we can think of and hope we pick something Japanese by accident."
It would be great if there was an easy way to input some topical words into a magical device - words like, I don’t know, ‘Japanese cuisine’ - and let this device magically search for and find the information for us. If only we had such magic. Or we could call up our Japanese friends with another magical device where we could talk into it and our Japanese friend with a similar device heard what we say.
I watched a Christmas episide of Micheal McIntyre. Special guest was Jamie Oliver... He made a next day sandwich. He was doing great until he wrapped on foil and had Micheal sit on it, I literally yelled out " haiyaaah"
For your information, you are right in saying that most Japanese don't use flsh sauce. But there is a locality in Northeastern Honshu where they do use fish sauce. They call it "shottsuru".
@@princesssupernova5300 if u go to japanese bakeries there's lots of great yummy buns that are actually baked and not steamed, don't know why they went with the steaming option here which is a traditionally more chinese style of cooking
There used to be a show here in the US called Cupcake Wars. One of the episodes was Chinese New Year themed, and one of the contestants decorated her cupcakes with little takeout boxes and fortune cookies made out of fondant. Watching the judges tell her that neither of those things are actually Chinese in origin was kinda satisfying and it's almost refreshing to know that this kinda crap happens elsewhere in the world.
America has such a psychotic history that tender grievances are many and easy to step on. Chinese American restaurants wouldn't exist as they do today (fortune cookies and all) without some seriously disturbing white supremacists policies. The cupcake baker didn't know that and the judges rightly called her out for it, but I don't hold it against her. She seemed like a very skilled contestant and wasn't acting out of malice.
Agree with hypotalapotamus. I feel she's a good baker. I searched for the video and watch the part where the judge said fortune cookies is a stereotype and he also said "downgrading Chinese culture to Chinese restaurant". The theme was CNY so maybe the judge expecting sometime more to the CNY celebrations instead of a Chinese take out restaurant? I don't know how Chinese in other country celebrates their CNY but in my country or maybe I should say in my family, we don't really use fortune cookies in any occasion? I've been celebrating CNY since little and I've never seen fortune cookies in anyone's house. Not many Chinese restaurant that I've been to have fortune cookies. They normally give us wet tissues or herbal sweets XD Maybe things such as red pockets, tangerine trees, firecrackers, fireworks and calligraphy would be more suitable for the Chinese New Year theme.
But Chinese take out restaurant is different from the the Chinese restaurant in my country so its not gonna be a good example for me to compare these two.
Why does everyone think if something's Asian, it automatically Chinese? This isn't Japanese Week, it's practically "Chinese Other Asian Stuff Week". Haiya!
I swear why call it Japanese Week when none of the buns presented were actually inspired by Japanese cuisine and culture? And that katsu curry guy... his buns were 10% filling and 90% bun lmao. For fucks sake this is 2020, google exists and its there for us to use for research.
Isn't most of the beloved Japanese food originated from China not too long ago? And lots of Japanese food is inspired from all over the world.. Why else are there foods in Japan that have no character in their alphabet so they spell it out phonetically? Like "tempura" How does respect and appropriate belong here? What's wrong with Japan culturally appropriating foods from different cultures? Lol it's disrespectful in your mind???
imo, its easier to say Asian Week. "Asian inspired week..." too long, too indirect But again there's must be some relation to Asian culture. Remember, chilli is not from Asia but we use it now whole damn lot. They could've go for melon bun or "dorayaki" style for Japanese week, but as proven British people are not so 'cultured' (Hahaha sorry Brits we still love your fish and chips) So use wisely. Search out how we Asians use your ingredients. You might wow us Asians one day.
And yeah. Steamed buns are much more chineese than japanese. However they do still make them and eat them regularly. You can often find buns like pizzaman, really good. The best buns i know are the bao buns with fatty pork or spicy chicken (local items). The more common curry buns are actually deepfried bread with curry inside of them. Really fucking tasty but can also be a real hit or miss depending on the maker. Had some of the best ones in the Tokyo station, made with spicy curry and thick pieces of meat
on japanese week we will be making a chinese dish but indian and if you are feeling frisky you can make a chinese dish but american because its japanese week

I'm Chinese who's highly invested in Japanese culture, and I can say they can be similar to each other to some degree, and I can understand if someone makes a heartless mistake when trying to distinguish the two cultures. But this, this right here, is some second-level shit. No way someone can mess up this bad if they had tried at all.
You’d be surprised! Whenever I tell people I study Japanese and I’m into Japanese culture, they always mention China and start talking about Chinese things as if I’m supposed to know about them. One coworker even asked me if Japanese was a different language from Chinese. 😕

Ikr? None of it seemed very Japanese to me. lol How can someone mix Chinese and Japanese up? I will never understand such a way of thinking. I'm from England and I love Japanese culture, fashion and food, so when I saw what they were making, I was so confused and disappointed. :'( I was hoping there'd actually be Japanese inspired food, but nope... I was wrong.
@@papkinn There is a difference, but I get your point. lol I actually don't get how people get Japanese and Chinese mixed up, tbh. They're so different from each other. xD

Yeah, "Japanese Week" is unbearably embarrassing.
Uncle Roger should react to guga foods
Can't spell confusion without "conning" someone into thinking its "fusion".
This has 699 likes and im leaving it like that
@@FunZies. omg 'embarrassing' is a good word.
British people doing Japanese food:
"Do you know anything about Japanese cuisine?"
"No, let's just cram in as many Asian things as we can think of and hope we pick something Japanese by accident."
This is quite on the nose
How very colonial of them. lol
It would be great if there was an easy way to input some topical words into a magical device - words like, I don’t know, ‘Japanese cuisine’ - and let this device magically search for and find the information for us. If only we had such magic. Or we could call up our Japanese friends with another magical device where we could talk into it and our Japanese friend with a similar device heard what we say.
I do fear you're straying into the realm of science fiction there
But the thing is that they didn't even pick something Japanese anyway and called it a day
This is "everything but not Japanese" week
I watched a Christmas episide of Micheal McIntyre. Special guest was Jamie Oliver...
He made a next day sandwich. He was doing great until he wrapped on foil and had Micheal sit on it, I literally yelled out " haiyaaah"
GBBO: "It's Japanese Week"
Also GBBO: A bit of China, India, Thailand, England oh and the word "katsu' for some Japanese flavoring
What's GBBO?
Edit: Oh wait nvm I'm an idiot
MR. WORLDWIDE!
And no actual katsu in the dish. 😅😅😅
@@yamyammaot “So here is my roast potato”

Uncle Roger: "asian fusion or asian don't know what they doing"
Me: "ASIAN FUSION OR ASIAN CONFUSION"
this is gold
Aww shucks that’s good
Uncle Roger missed this joke
Aahh a missed opportunity there by Uncle Roger. Good one!
Bruh we thought of same shit
For your information, you are right in saying that most Japanese don't use flsh sauce. But there is a locality in Northeastern Honshu where they do use fish sauce. They call it "shottsuru".
Lost me a “Japanese steamed buns”
I was like aren’t they originally Chinese?
That’s like saying “make Canadian tacos”
British show, “hey guys, we are gonna cook Japanese food.” Makes the buns into pandas and puts chips in their buns
🤣🤣🤣🤣
But this is "baked off" !! Where is the baking ?? When the buns are meant to be steamed ? Eh ??
@@MeiinUK That is literally the Japanese version of baking.
@@princesssupernova5300 if u go to japanese bakeries there's lots of great yummy buns that are actually baked and not steamed, don't know why they went with the steaming option here which is a traditionally more chinese style of cooking
@@jeremypcleung yeah, for what i know, baked bun like melonpan or Anpan (red bean bread) are popular in Japan. Steamed bun is more Chinese style.
“The only things looks like Japanese in the show is the guy’s shirt” IMAO🤣
Yeah no shit🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol
noel is the best!
🤣🤣
9:30 Just use filling, USE FILLING !
You need doorstop loaf riger and give the sandwich a big squish with your palm, also cut in triangles, nothing will fall out
"Just hire a Japanese Judge, they like to work so much, you don't even have to pay them" XD XD
A Japanese judge would have forced them to commit seppuku. And then forgot to chop their heads off after they have laid out their intestines.
I need samurai 😆
Free food also
@@steemlenn8797 wrong, we'll just tell them how deeply unsatisfied with their crap politely these days
Japanese judge would stare. Maybe one question: Is this Japanese food?
There used to be a show here in the US called Cupcake Wars. One of the episodes was Chinese New Year themed, and one of the contestants decorated her cupcakes with little takeout boxes and fortune cookies made out of fondant. Watching the judges tell her that neither of those things are actually Chinese in origin was kinda satisfying and it's almost refreshing to know that this kinda crap happens elsewhere in the world.
That had to be the most BRUH moment ever for the judges.
OMG i remember that episode
America has such a psychotic history that tender grievances are many and easy to step on.
Chinese American restaurants wouldn't exist as they do today (fortune cookies and all) without some seriously disturbing white supremacists policies.
The cupcake baker didn't know that and the judges rightly called her out for it, but I don't hold it against her. She seemed like a very skilled contestant and wasn't acting out of malice.
Agree with hypotalapotamus. I feel she's a good baker. I searched for the video and watch the part where the judge said fortune cookies is a stereotype and he also said "downgrading Chinese culture to Chinese restaurant". The theme was CNY so maybe the judge expecting sometime more to the CNY celebrations instead of a Chinese take out restaurant?
I don't know how Chinese in other country celebrates their CNY but in my country or maybe I should say in my family, we don't really use fortune cookies in any occasion? I've been celebrating CNY since little and I've never seen fortune cookies in anyone's house. Not many Chinese restaurant that I've been to have fortune cookies. They normally give us wet tissues or herbal sweets XD
Maybe things such as red pockets, tangerine trees, firecrackers, fireworks and calligraphy would be more suitable for the Chinese New Year theme.
But Chinese take out restaurant is different from the the Chinese restaurant in my country so its not gonna be a good example for me to compare these two.
5:50 "I don't know if this is Asian fusion, or Asian confusion" It was right there lol
9:53 Upon glance, she reminds me of Carol Peletier from The Walking Dead. XD
Yess😃😃😃
Uncle Roger: “this family friendly channel.”
A few seconds earlier: “shit fall out.”
Then later on he says "Go fuck yourself" lmao I lost it!
Ok, so I actually thought the "shit fall out" thing would make Uncle Roger more likely to like the hamburger buns.
I read it as he said it.....
@@DavidEarlDavis 11:03
He was saying that bake off is a family show, not his CZcams
Why does everyone think if something's Asian, it automatically Chinese? This isn't Japanese Week, it's practically "Chinese Other Asian Stuff Week".
Haiya!
oiiii
U want likeees
@@videoclips2016 its funny tho...
'unusual Japanese week' Haiya!!!!!!
They say "Asian Fusion" but its more like "Asian Confusion"
I'm not Japanese, but I love Japanese steam buns. They could make Japanese curry or pork stew buns, they're delicious.
Oh dear, the “egg-fried rice week” guest judging did it for me 😂
It's Japanese week!!
The cooks:
My DiSh is InsPired by InDian, SouThEasT AsiAn, CHinESe, anD oF CourSe, AmEriCan DisHeS anD inGreDieNtS
ah yes, 100% Japanese 👌
Man, I didn’t know so many countries were in Japan *incheresting*
it so messed up, I saw the rising sun flag of imperial japan waving...
It’s Colonialism Week
@@alisaurus4224 makes sense because you know great *BRITISH* bakeoff.......
They could have called it “Asian inspired Week” that would be more appropriate and respectful
I swear why call it Japanese Week when none of the buns presented were actually inspired by Japanese cuisine and culture? And that katsu curry guy... his buns were 10% filling and 90% bun lmao. For fucks sake this is 2020, google exists and its there for us to use for research.
Isn't most of the beloved Japanese food originated from China not too long ago? And lots of Japanese food is inspired from all over the world..
Why else are there foods in Japan that have no character in their alphabet so they spell it out phonetically? Like "tempura"
How does respect and appropriate belong here? What's wrong with Japan culturally appropriating foods from different cultures? Lol it's disrespectful in your mind???
imo, its easier to say Asian Week.
"Asian inspired week..." too long, too indirect
But again there's must be some relation to Asian culture. Remember, chilli is not from Asia but we use it now whole damn lot.
They could've go for melon bun or "dorayaki" style for Japanese week, but as proven British people are not so 'cultured' (Hahaha sorry Brits we still love your fish and chips)
So use wisely. Search out how we Asians use your ingredients. You might wow us Asians one day.
How is it disrespectful. It's just inaccurate
You are missing the point about comedy... it is not about being respectful it is actually satire...
And yeah. Steamed buns are much more chineese than japanese. However they do still make them and eat them regularly. You can often find buns like pizzaman, really good. The best buns i know are the bao buns with fatty pork or spicy chicken (local items).
The more common curry buns are actually deepfried bread with curry inside of them. Really fucking tasty but can also be a real hit or miss depending on the maker. Had some of the best ones in the Tokyo station, made with spicy curry and thick pieces of meat
Watched a few shows now. He is so funny. Thank you for cheering me up.
You are a very sweet person! Respect
as a Japanese, i say this program is filled with "nani!?"
Many
Omae wa mou shindeiru
Nani the f*ck???
nani??
NANI?????????????
Everyone's complaining about it not being Japanese. It's not British either. No colanders. Very disappointing.
Holy shit this is hilarious. They stashed the colanders just so Uncle Roger didn’t see them hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was filmed in a parallel universe, the one Japan won alone the second war and conquered everything
on japanese week we will be making a chinese dish but indian and if you are feeling frisky you can make a chinese dish but american because its japanese week
You are the funniest Uncle on Earth. Other are so White!
How do i get likes
@Andrew Thumbs Up which one you're talking about?
Yesss
Hello fakerup
Bruh, I remember when you used to play moomoo.io and started hacking which made everyone hate you, it's understandable how you hit 300k subs considering the fact that people subbed to your channel for your good editing skills and potential. Hope you hit 1mil soon!
I'm Chinese who's highly invested in Japanese culture, and I can say they can be similar to each other to some degree, and I can understand if someone makes a heartless mistake when trying to distinguish the two cultures. But this, this right here, is some second-level shit. No way someone can mess up this bad if they had tried at all.
You’d be surprised! Whenever I tell people I study Japanese and I’m into Japanese culture, they always mention China and start talking about Chinese things as if I’m supposed to know about them. One coworker even asked me if Japanese was a different language from Chinese. 😕
@@Maki-00 Excuse me what- 🖐😀
@@Maki-00 as someone Chinese, I don’t think I’ve ever felt this insulted in my entire life. 🤠
But yeah- no shit, some people need to get a reality check because it’s getting even more absurd at this point.
Like this is a popular TV show they can do minimal research
You might like Shogos channel then, he gives deep insight into japanese culture and traditions and is also married to a woman with chinese roots so you get both authentic sides
As someone who’s been divorced twice before 30, I can confirm uncle Roger is right about how fast a woman can pack her crap. Cried and celebrated at the same time.
This whole episode had me dying. Gosh this is so funny! I love you. I love your criticism and critique. I love your jokes. I love how anti-Japanese this Japanese week was. I just can't. I love this. Please keep up the wonderful work.
*is Japanese week*
"Its more Chinese inspired than Japanese"
*_confused asian noises_*
I heard the british dude say that and now I'm pissed
I love my race sometimes, white people will call every Asian thing "Japanese" or "Chinese" but then get offended someone mistaken British with American because there's "such a difference" lmao.
Ikr? None of it seemed very Japanese to me. lol How can someone mix Chinese and Japanese up? I will never understand such a way of thinking. I'm from England and I love Japanese culture, fashion and food, so when I saw what they were making, I was so confused and disappointed. :'( I was hoping there'd actually be Japanese inspired food, but nope... I was wrong.
@@papkinn There is a difference, but I get your point. lol I actually don't get how people get Japanese and Chinese mixed up, tbh. They're so different from each other. xD
@@ReptilianTeaDrinker maybe they should do rice cake inspired instead of buns, it is easy to confused with chinese cuisine😂
They put the whole Asia in the bun except Japan.
Hahaha
Should've name it Except Japan Week
Uncle Roger: Bun is more efficient sandwich.
Uncle Roger when a contestant makes a sandwich into a bun: That's illegal.
When the day starts I always watch a video. Really gets my day going in great spirit. Thank you!
'Who doesn't want chips?' is the most British sentence I've ever heard lmao

as a british person i can confirm
Besides all the roastable content, this is actually a great show. I love the amazing things these contestants make 😍
Japan is now the ultimate Continent that owns all countries 🤣
They called it Japanese week just as an excuse to wear that hentai shirt on international cooking show
🙌😂
Heh
lol
💀
LMFAO!!! Omg, this is too good
"How many countries does Japan have?"
*WW2 flashbacks*
Lmao I love this kind of humour
Haiya... This actually wideo of how many countries British used to have.
And it got nuked soon after that. Haiya, sad story
This comment is so underrated
SAME. That was a very dark time in Japan's history :X
I just watched this episode yesterday. I thought something was wrong with the katsu idea. It was the first thing I ate in Japan and what I looked for at every restaurant. I'd totally have ordered it at a ramen place if they had it lol. I really like your take on this episode.
Honestly it's not just the baking show that looks good. But also the baker at 1:07 FUIYIOOOOH! She looks pretty enough to be put on plate as garnish. Make your food look VERY good. 😃
Only Brit that has uncle roger approval is Gordon Ramsay lol
This shows how good Gordon Ramsay is
gordan ramsay is scottish, not british]
True
Scotland is in Britain so he's British as well as being Scottish.
@@steelpump100 he's Scottish. So he is British
"This guy no hair, this guy too much hair"

How about ancient Chinese people?
1:05 song (from frozen) "for the first time in forever"
😂😂😂😂😂 love how u roast. Awesome bloopers
I don't know if this is called Asian fusion or Asian "confunsion". The pun was waiting for you, you just missed it.
I dint get it at first and when i read this comment i dint get it again and realised ur confusion spelled wrong then i got it lmao😂.
@@destractgodren5976 😂 I didn't see it! I guess I also "confunse" my auto correct going from to spanish to english to german to spanish again (that's the reason I'm willing to accept, this is in no way my mistake) hahaha

Lool I read this while he said that XD
Lool I read this while he said that XD
They should have called it "Insult the Japanese this Week".
11:52 great point. Didn’t even notice that! Goes to show how droned out I am. 😂
"This is chicken curry"
The trinidadian/caribbean people watching:
People on this show are calling them "Japanese" buns. Meanwhile in Japan, they are actually called Chinese buns (chuuka man). So... lol
There is also Nikuman too
@@alexandersmith4731 nikuman is a kind of chuukaman😃
We have some convenience stores selling weird 中華まん like ピザまん (pizza man) too thou haha. But yah i agree the show put too much random shit haha. If they want to call it japanese week they shouldve done other japanese food that are actually japanese.
@@user-zg6zc2zx4s 五種チーズまん(five cheese man) is good too. We probably have the wrong idea of 中華まん but I like it
They were making the British version of the Japanese version of a Chinese food.
Uncle Roger likes to laugh at his own jokes. That’s the funniest part of this weejio.
