#kobe #StreetFood #chinatown

On this video we’re going to be trying a variety of delicious street food here in KES Chinatown KES Chinatown is one of the major chinatowns here in Japan and they have some of the best street food in the city so we’re back here in K guys it’s

Been a while since we’ve been back to K and we are here in Chinatown many of you guys know about yokohama’s Chinatown which is the Big Brother of this one because this this is actually a smaller one but we think this Chinatown has the superior food last time we were here we

Didn’t take a video but what we sampled here was delicious and so we thought we come back and make a video for you guys check out the vending machine it’s a panda and it says Coca-Cola in Chinese I love that the first St immediately CAU our attention is

N k mil this shop is located just in front of Cho and this is the entrance of this chinat toown this shop says almond tofu puding looks very cute it’s like a milk at the bottom it is caramel oh yes it has almond tofu Flav but texture is like cream sweetness is

Just right but the combination with almond tofu Aroma flavor and this sweetness is really goes well this caramel p is also very important for ping this caramel is not super strong but gives a richness so I got one of the seasonal ones this is fig so it’s only

Available during this time of the year and by the way uh for reference it is October 1st 2023 today the pudding is on the bottom and the top is like is this gelatin yeah it’s kind of like a gelatin thing and then I see some pieces of

Fresh figs in here oh look at that that’s a fresh fig so I’m going to try this just you know without the the pudding partas oh that’s delicious oh these are really ripe and sweet figs so delicious okay I’m going to go inside get all the layers

Here oh oh that is creamy creamy fruity silky oh I love that flavor of the Almond tofu pudding so this is the map of this chinat toown it is called Nim Machi you can see this this chinat toown is not as big as the Yokohama China I

Think it’s a good size mhm mhm it’s very walkable size there are so many street food here like so much more at least as far as I can see so much more variety here than the Yokohama Chinatown I mean I’m I’m not dising the Yokohama Chinatown I I like Yokohama Chinatown

But I do prefer for the food here anyway first place we have to go we have to go to this place selling uh these bows and there’s always a line so that’s the first place we’re going to go okay so we’re standing in line not too long of

Line today cuz we’re here quite early this is L Shi this is like one of the most famous place for BS this named those shy the history is more than 100 years this shop is the start of the name of bhaman bhaman is a Japanese name of

Pokam in the caner area in Tokyo we call it nikuman this baman is smaller than the typical baman you can order six pieces or 10 pieces my m m very juicy good pork meat and with the soy sauce based good seasoning with the I think it’s onion and chib you can

See the green dots I think it’s chib and also it has sweetness maybe it’s from this onion we can very early so only 5 minutes or 10 minutes so if you want to eat this one I we recommend to come here very early in the morning I’ve been

Dreaming about this bhaman because the last time we were here that was the first and last time we had this delicious Masterpiece this simply is one of the best pork buns in Japan do m m oh this the flavor of this filling the whole thing is so different from my

Other favorite holdi 551 of course you cannot compare this with like the convenience store ones you know I mean this is so much better this one is super meaty super juicy and like s she said there’s like a tinge of soy sauce flavor it’s just all around a really well

Balanced and perfectly made meat bun oh this is amazing we ordered six but easy super easy to finish this off it was so good it was too good I am dead you know we just learned something this morning we learned that kit is a city of bhaman or

Pork bus I had no idea now K has gone up to one of my top three cities in Japan just because of baman all right next stop is a place called coldon and we got two things from here and I apologize Advance we just had some pork bun but

Now we’re having a kit beef bun so it’s similar but the feeling is different of course the shop is different so the flavor is probably going to be different as well so this is what it looks like so it’s a little bigger than the other one but still it’s not like humongous or

Anything and it’s piping hot it’s really really delicate so I’m going to be very careful oh it’s so hot and that’s what it looks like on the inside so looks like there it’s like ground up Kobe beef with onions all right let’s give it a try immediately you can tell that it’s

Beef but I also feel like they’ve mixed in a little bit of pork in it I I don’t know there’s a lot of onions in here so I get the natural sweetness of the onions as you can see there’s not much filling in it there’s also some um bits

Of bamboo in here for some texture but for me this one is just okay if you’re looking for the flavor of kobit beef it’s definitely not in here M the sweetness and the beef flavor combines good nicely Co beef is very expensive my opinion this one they did

Did pretty good job this is a deep fried goza using CA beef and the sauce is K this one is freshly deep fried still very very hot M this crispiness this K sauce is good it’s spicy it’s a beig f and you can see some chai

Here oh I actually like this one a lot because it’s freshly deep fried that KES on sauce add just a hint of kick I can actually taste more of the coret beef but that’s a good thing H all right so three items done we have like maybe I

Don’t know how many more we can eat but anyway we’re going to eat as much as we can the other thing we noticed that there are a couple of places selling things at K beef like KOB beef sushi anyway there’s lots of food to choose

From so all we have to do is make a choice okay so we’re going to stop by this store because Satoshi found something he wants what are you going to get KOB ping Co Pudding we s many many places which sells Co pudding yeah K is a very popular sweet as AIA

From K right but we haven’t tried it so let’s try it the reason why is because here they’re selling it by one piece yeah the most of the case they s from four yes but luckily we can find the individual one the one piece so we did a

Little research on KOB puing and we found out that this is mainly for tourists you know to buy as souvenirs and that’s how it became popular but most locals don’t eat this one so anyway we’ll try it out yay all right finally get to try your Co pudding yes

So there are several places here in Chinatown that serve noodles like this for takeout they come in these bowls and we wanted to try one out and this is the Bano kakuni lamen which is the pork belly Ramen so you have this nice sizable chunk of uh pork belly and of

Course you have new noodles and you have an egg m m that is pretty good it’s a pretty solid bowl of ramen it’s not like anything super amazing or anything it’s just really comforting and nice so I’m going to try the park belly M super tender and it has really

Nice flavor little bit gingery m not as good I think take a bite of uh ramen noodles right after you eat that pork M this is nice let me try this on the soup M the soup is your typical soou Ramen flavor it’s nice it’s pretty solid comforting once again nothing special

But I especially like the pork belly oh for me it’s very comfortable or nostalgic soy sauce flavor L I knew you would like it the noodle has a nice Che it’s very comfortable to me and this potion is very good next we came to chjo hunting they sells lots of lots of food

Delicious food we chose P season is hen sauce and wrapped with this h this thing texture mixture it’s B poison sauce is very good it enhance this duck Umami pecking duck uses the sest part of this duck it’s crispy and juicy Mami that is super super flavorful first

Of all I love poison sauce I love it it’s like a nice sweet miso flavor stuffed like a burrito I mean it is stuffed with vegetables I do have to say the ratio to vegetable hoison sauce and duck is a little off balance so I mostly taste vegetables and hoison sauce I

Don’t really taste a duck picking duck is pretty expensive and this is 550m so I’m pretty satisfied with this okay this is the toolo this is their signature dish here look at that it’s a thick slab of pork belly stewed for over 5 hours look at look at that beautiful pork belly you

Can tell that it’s going to be super tender and moist and it’s all wrapped in this bow here that is amazing this is incredible it is so fatty and juicy fatty in a very good way the fat literally melts in your mouth and the meat itself is just so

Full of flavor oh my God and it’s a pretty substantial size and the and the sauce that is simmer and it’s really nice it’s like soy sauce Ginger a little bit of garlic delicious this also C my attention this is deep fried shrimp Bo from caho look looks like Dango and I

Didn’t not I thought it’s the Dango inside but it’s shrimp bow it’s mean shrimp and deep fried what is outside crunchy thing I don’t know outside it’s crunchy it’s like a SBE for me inside the very good shrim flavor game it’s deep fried so the oil and this shrimp taste combined nicely

Yes the oil enhance this Shing flavor m M wow so crunchy you can actually see real pieces of shrimp in there like whole tiny shrimp and the outside is like it’s like croutons I think like croutons they like stuck croutons outside before they deep fried it that’s

What it is I think really good shm flavor I actually like this I was thinking we didn’t have anything crispy until now and I was kind of Cris craving something crispy mhm guys we’re actually kind of stuff but we have to get one more thing this is something Satoshi really really

Wants I mean we are in core after all here is Kobe even in a Chinatown you can find Kobe beef and We Came To Dai and we bought sushi made with Kobe beef this one is red meat and this is shortly I want to eat K meat M mhm

M the Umami of beef really really nicely it’s very tender and nice ftiness melt in my mouth really really melt in my mouth using a soy sauce based sauce this is good this is good okay here we Go oh man I love wagu I love Japanese beef I really really do this is definitely leaner probably not as fatty as satoshi’s Peach but I like it it’s a lot beefier it’s very meaty but it’s also very tender it’s just simply seasoned with salt and a little bit of

The sauce of course and the Wasabi adds a little bit of refreshing component to the beef sushi I could like 10 of these little bit Ginger oh thumbs up all right last stop on this food tour is dessert we’re here at EST Royale and they’re famous for

Their uh cream puffs but I had to get one of their seasonal offerings and this is their pumpkin pudding I cannot resist pumpkin pudding I just can’t I love anything pumpkin and whenever I see it I I just have to get it so I’m just going

To dig right in I mean this is calling my name who oh that’s nice it’s super creamy and it’s actually kind of Rich you do taste the cabble chop P pumpkin flavor it’s more like a kabacha pumpkin not the pumpkin that you eat in the US for

Example so it’s a little bit lighter in flavor I think and there are three layers to this the top is like a caramel sauce and then in between is that pumpkin pudding and finally there is uh actually four layers there’s whipped cream and there’s sponge cake I’m not

Going to lie satoshi’s pumpkin pudding is the best but he he never makes it for me anymore I don’t know why so mine is Sho it’s cream puff this is a number one popular suet here in EST Royal and this one is since 1988 so 35 years Missippi I saw the

Picture inside the lots of lots of cream m oh I haven’t reached the cream oh M happiness came M it’s filled with happiness a nice custardy taste very silky smooth cream Good Egg flavor and the two part is light but not a this shop is located between Main Street of

Chinatown and motomachi shopping rad you can find hidden jams at the side street I’m so happy that we got to come back to KOB and try out the street food especially the bhaman that was my favorite you know the pork bun that we had in the beginning that was my

Absolute favorite what was your favorite Kobe beef the Kobe beef the sushi that was good too really yeah we we had different CS of beef my my Kobe beef was good too but like I said my favorite was that pork bun I swear that’s probably one of the best park buns you’ll have

Here in Japan so if you are visiting KOB make sure to visit Chinatown it’s really really fun it’s a colorful place it’s really Lively today it was kind of um crowded because it’s the weekend and it’s also a celebration the mid the mid Autumn Festival so you know a lot of

Things are going on but if you come during the weekday it’s a lot less crowded you don’t you don’t have to wait in long lines to get Street food anyway there’s a lot to try here hope you enjoyed this one make sure to like And subscribe for more videos like this one

  1. この並外れた充実したビデオにブラボー。 あなたに心から感謝してます!✌️

  2. Love, love, love this vlog! Brought back so many memories of the Chinatown area as my family and I lived in Kobe for 9 years. That shop selling the bao buns is so famous and I’d give anything to eat one right now! Thank you again for sharing some of your lives with us – take care and love from Australia ❤❤

  3. My apologies, I don't know where I can message you both and I don't want to hijack this post, but I can't help but say how excited I am. Today is my birthday and one of my children got me something I have been wanting for a very long time; a Tabieats "Sakuto" shirt. It's so soft and comfortable. I love it! My partner also ordered your Kokoro Cares box which will be arriving at a later date. I am so happy and just had to share my elation. 🥰🥳

  4. I loved the Chinatown in Chicago, it's been awhile since I've been there but have good memories.
    I'd love to try that pork belly bao, it looked delicious. And I love fresh figs. My grandfather had a fig tree in his back yard and I'd eat figs right off it when I was a kid. That Almond Tofu pudding with figs was made think of that. I'd love to try that. Glad you guys had a good time.😊

  5. Hi Shinichi and Satoshi good to see you Love these streets food walk enjoy see all the different delicious food yummie enjoy guys take care 😘😘❤️🤩😍🥰🙏🌈💯🌹🌹

  6. Hi guys! Happy New Year from Pee Wee and Princess Grizelda! (Jay and John) 🌈 A pottery / food tour please? We want to visit and purchase high-end pottery (up to $800) and also low-end (about $20). We like the history of the pottery studios and interviews. If you know places where there is nearby food / drinks can you share it with us all? 😋

  7. I've been seeing reports of gross cases of adulterated and fake food coming out of China. This really concerns me and others. I don't consider products coming out of China safe anymore. Can you please address these concerns of their products being sold in these vendors? It is scary bad stuff and is becoming rampant.

  8. I make my bao with chicken chives and a piece of egg…yes with seasonings. I don't make it with onions because i find that it spoils faster. Its the only way that i can eat a bao because im allergic to pork and beef

  9. Okay. You piqued my interest. How was the Kobe pudding? 😊 It looks like Kobe's Chinatown really is the place to go for Chinese street food in Japan. Thank you both for the tantalizing tour! 💙💙
