Welcome to Tokyo a city that pulsates
with life culture and an irresistible
culinary scene in a city renowned for
its skyscrapers and cherry blossoms
there exists another
[Music]
world that is so scrumptious a world of
delicious affordable yeets that are
cherished by both locals and travelers
alike from the sizzling pans of tiny
isaka stands to the steamy Windows of
neighborhood Ramen joints Tokyo offers a
mosaic of flavors that don’t have to
empty your wallets whether you’re
craving a hearty bowl of ramen a quick
on the-go sandwich or a spread from a
local buffet we’ve got you cover because
these hidden jams are where
affordability meets quality and taste so
here are 18 of the best cheap eats in
Tokyo
Japan that’s the biggest pile of fries
I’ve ever seen hey guys Mike CH here in
Tokyo I was just browsing around looking
for things to eat today came across this
place very randomly I’m trying to go
there right now before they close for
lunch but it’s an all you can eat wagu
buffet for $7 you can only eat it for 45
minutes and it’s a lying out the door
every single
day oh I passed it it’s one of
these oh there it is there it is there
there
is I think that’s it right here Yep this
is it oh there’s a line still it’s about
1:40 right now and they close at 2:30 so
I’m hoping it’s a situation where as
long as you’re getting before 2:30 you
still get your 45 minutes we’ll see
actually I might not be able to make it
this time the line I thought the line
started right over there but the line
it’s all the way over here it’s about 10
people in front of me
[Music]
so here everybody gets a personalized
grill a lot of people just come here by
themselves and you get a grill to
yourself and when you come in here you
just hear the crackling of the grill
meat just arrived
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
oh that pork probably here’s the menu
that they give you you choose one set a
person the meat ranges from miso flavor
to just pure salt flavor set a is pork
belly and I think pork neck so it’s set
B but the flavor is different set C is
what most people get and that is liver
most people come here and get the liver
and they’ll serve the liver until they
sell it out pork belly is so
fatty that was me so I know I kind of
burn a lot of this TR to film and cook
at the same time but this is the
best kind of burn it a little bit so the
fatty meat is all nice and crispy and
charred and also you get that nice
sweetness then of course that mommy
gentle sweetness from the Miso you also
get some fresh onions as palet
cleansers
soup seaweed soup in a bowl of rice all
you can eat 45 minutes I probably spent
10 minutes already so got to get to
eating I think this is the heart and
it’s just marinate in some salt and
pepper then liver Will Go
On Fire is very strong so you guys
watching me carefully all there sesame
seeds on the meat as well
I’ve never really grilled liver or heart
before so I’m kind of trying to figure
this out as I go but I think the heart
is
ready wow
that is so scrumptious I love heart feel
like it’s a very underappreciated cut of
meat so tender and meaty and
juicy little salt and pepper is all it
tastes and it pours that beautiful smoke
from the grill and nice fragrant flavor
from the sesame seeds pce a
li so the liver is a little Snappy some
parts very soft
and as you can see pretty juicy I feel
like I cooked this one really well
pretty tender on the inside good clean
organy flavor the liver is real
good I’m a big fan of liver I love
chicken liver never really barbecue
liver before
though that’s
fantastic I feel like the liver and the
Heart two very different textures both
really really good especially the liver
they only have a limited amount of liver
every single day so when it sells out it
sells out when you’re cooking especially
the pork belly you got to be careful
because that stuff is all fat everything
just cooks really really fast
[Music]
the neck’s way leaner than the pork
belly still very tender that pork belly
though out of this world you got to try
that also when you got about 10 minutes
left they tell you you only have 10
minutes left so you can hurry up and
order more the meat actually goes so
well with the rice especially the cuts
that are marinated and me salt it’s like
a freshly cooked pouta doll put some
pickled onions in
there this is such a good place again
$7 all you can eat I’m not going to find
a better deal than that
[Music]
the T KATU
place you can get it for about $7 I met
a really nice lady she told me that this
one is what she recommends the Tatu
K oh oi Dash oi I guess I’m getting some
for vegetables
[Music]
I got a three piece KATU and this play
with the katsu the Miso soup little
pickle cabbage it’s about $5 and what a
t KATU is a fried piece of pork cutlet
dipped in cot sauce which is pretty much
like a sweeten soy
sauce oh my goodness this is intense
when I first bit down it you feel this
little subtle crunch of KATU and this is
already dipped in t sauce so the
breading is not going to be as crunchy
as like a regular piece of KATU but it’s
still has such a nice subtle little
crunch inside juicy tender piece of pork
and then that subtly sweet Umami flavor
bomb of aatu just keeps radiating taste
and flavor chew after chew on the top of
your
tongue a little pickle veggie oh this
has Ginger inside it’s completely
cleanses the
palette this is so good $5 for this I
such a great deal if you want there’s a
little chili powder there’s pepper corn
and mustard put a little mustard on and
see what
[Music]
happens M super spicy mustard that
completely cuts into any of the
greasiness from the oil and that makes
that consu taste even sweeter than it is
that mustard combo is perfect definitely
put this on top of your KATU second set
I got so this one has a little popping
tomato has KATU vegetables as well like
eggplants oh a broccoli some shrimp and
I got the KATU filet this time so it’s a
better cut of pork let’s try the
shrimp
oh there’s not shrimp fried baby corn
this is delicious
the sweetness of the tody sauce is
enhanced by that juicy sweet popping
corn
pumpkin well way more of a crunch tons
more
flavor the T sauce just adds so much
Umami to pretty much anything it touches
like I’ve had tempora pumpkin before it
never tasted this good I mean this is
Del
eggplant m
oh this is so juicy I don’t remember
ever having T costu before but every
single fite is so much more flavor so
much more
interesting than traditional cotu the
fillet is even more tender it’s amazing
how the color still retains that nice
crunch even after being dipped into the
sauce and of course you taste a sweet
clean flavor of the pork a little taste
of fat and the flavor it’s just enhanced
exponentially by the sauce
[Music]
then Chase it with some yummy
rice I love traditional Kat soup this
tastes so much better I’m going to put
this place on my high high high
recommended restaurants in Tokyo still
piece of broccoli
here even the broccoli it’s O she dish
that sauce and that light little coating
of crunch that changes everything
sometimes the food Gods work in
mysterious ways when one restaurant
closes you get to taste another one and
this one will make you very very very
[Music]
happy right now I am at the Nonono
Broadway Mall it’s pretty big mall with
tons of food shopping arcades and I’m
looking for this one particular
[Music]
stall all I found it this is going to be
my breakfast for today this is Chota
Sushi is located in level B1 I’ll have
all the information for this place down
in the description box below this is the
cheapest Sushi I’ve ever encountered in
my life so all you have to do is get a
drink it be a soft drink and you can get
15 pieces of today’s special Sushi
whatever the special of the day is for
10 Yen each so 7 cents at today’s
conversion for a piece of sushi let’s
[Music]
go I got W te and the special today is
Yellow
Tail you get a little side dish
[Music]
too a side dish of carrot fruit
vegetables and corn Little M Yellow Tail
netti this is really really
good sushi rice is perfect very fragrant
vinegary Yellow Tail melts in your mouth
tender it’s so fresh perfect ratio
between Fish and Rice a little dip in
the soy
sauce m
I mean that’s probably about as good of
a yellow toil as you can find
[Music]
anywhere don’t miss on their temporer
either this thing is so
light
wow it’s so light and Fries so
[Music]
well that’s really I got all the
ingredients really really fresh I kind
of super juicy
too piece of fish
every piece friy to absolute perfection
so light and crunchy on the Outside
Inside beautiful tender meat crunches is
so lovely and this plate of tempora I
just had about seven
bucks little so their regular dishes are
very affordable as
well this is such a great
place sweet potato
crunchy on the outside soft pillowy
sweet potato inside I’m going to go
ahead and put this place on a must try
list if you ever come to Tokyo like for
what you’re paying the food is
extraordinary I mean it’s delicious on
its own but for the price point this
might be the most worth it sushi place
on the planet even when I was at the
Thailand Night Market sushi there was
about 50 cents a piece this is just
unbelievable plus you get a miso sou
with a shrimp
head
oh that’s way better than a typical miso
soup suck on the shrimp head a little
bit get back to my
Sushi also the owner here so friendly so
nice don’t speak Japanese like me not a
problem oh she does I already got some
[Music]
Zas it’s down this little stairway in
this looks like an apartment building
very unassuming h gy of a place oh my
gosh here it
[Music]
is this place is so cool very simple
menu they only serve Bonito flakes over
rice and you can have the option of
adding a raw egg or Wasabi or Kushi
butter or fried Bonito basically it’s
just Bonito flakes over our racks for
breakfast
[Music]
so after you place your water they bring
over the Bonito for you to look at if
you never seen a Bonito tried Bonito
before it just feels like a piece of
wood it feels like the same as this
table does except we not as smooth and
this is what you’re eating this shave
down
[Music]
so they just grab handfuls of Bonito put
it on the rice they give you a ton of
Bonito flakes so to make the dry Bonito
cut the fish up then they boil it they
shade it put it into a mold then
everything is suned and
that gives you this and there’s a
special tool used to shave this it’s
almost like shaving wood what they say
is to put some
salt all over the Bonito flakes they
said to add some soy sauce as well it’s
so hard to eat because the Bonito flakes
is really Airy kind of hard to trying to
grab the rice down
below that’s really good the Bono flakes
themselves just contains so much Umami
they’re slice so thin they pretty much
dissolve on your tongue that’s almost
translucent and when they’re put on top
of hot food because they’re so light
they basically just flutter around I
remember the first time I ever saw
Bonito on top of okaki part of my
ignorance I thought they were alive also
got some fried
Bonito really crispy skim soy sauce
based very Saucy slightly
sweet plus I got an
egg dropping raw egg in there breid that
up mix it with your rice and that kind
of binds the Bonito together as well so
the Bonito not just flying everywhere
now also I got bito
butter so mix that in as
well and add the fresh wasabi
if you come here 100% recommend getting
the egg it just adds a super nice
creaminess and richness to this dish
also like I said it kind of binds the
Bonito flakes together so it’s not just
flying off your
bowl the Wasabi ice here also a must
this a nice Ki because right now pretty
much Bowl Super Rich really deep your
mommy fil dish adding a bit of Kake to
it this is such a delicious and unique
breakfast this place they close as soon
as they sell out and that’s usually
around lunch time so if you want to come
here and get this a try get here
[Music]
early will this
[Music]
this is one of the most popular bows of
skim you can find in Tokyo I’m lucky to
get in right away so the powder on top
is ponito powder combine the BR
together goes
in switch it
around Wow first of all the noodles are
so perfectly chewy the flavor of the
dipping broth it’s just like a thick
Rich Umami
abys there’s pork in here there’s noring
there’s bamboo and I always will
recommend getting skimm if you ever in
Tokyo I mean I like a traditional bow
Ramen but skimming is just so much
better in terms of texture so they put
the chashu right into this dipin broth
right here
so
tender the egg just adds to the richness
of the broth add a little pepper if you
want and the thick broth just cleans
on also love that snack from the bimoo
when you’re
done soup stock
[Music]
so nice what’s really unique about this
place is first of all the chachu is
chopped up mixed in with the dipping
sauce the sauce is Rich it’s thick it’s
deep the Umami flavor from the Bonito
it’s just exploding in there the noodles
though that is the star this might be
the best noodle texture I’ve ever had it
was so amazingly chewy the texture of
those noodles going to be hunting me for
the rest of my days that is such an
amazing amazing Ramen
place so apparently the satron
restaurant is pretty popular in Tokyo
just opened up and it’s almost full and
I got a mapu and knife cut noodles
everything is handmade here because I
got that I give three free dumplings
which you go up to the counseling and
you serve yourself
[Music]
[Music]
my dumplings just look okay they kind of
taste like veggie dumplings but I see
meat in here so not a lot of flavor in
the
meat soup is good
though oh my goodness I’ve never seen
maofu like this before they cook this
maap tofu in a sizzling stone pot and
they told me it’s a solid piece of tofu
in here so you got to mix it up look at
the chilies and spices in this thing and
it’s soak and tofu so they’re saying to
just mix it well
see you with it knife cut noodles take
some more
pofu put it on my
noodles what I should have done instead
of putting the mofu in my noodles put
the noodles into my mofu
wow this is some Next Level mofu it’s
tofu itself is so soft everything is
made in house here at the mapu in there
mix it up and instantaneously these
noodles are completely transformed
especially I’m telling you dip it back
into that mop hu a little
bit if you guys never had knif cut
noodles before you got to try it
traditionally the cook has the giant
dough on his head and just shaving it
into the Bro the noodles comes out
really coarse some thick some thin but
the texture is so chewy and nice and
these noodles are perfect also maofu got
to eat it with some rice so they got
rice up there for you as
[Music]
well I love this restaurant this isn’t
awesome place to go plenty of meat it’s
spicy it’s so nummy it’s so fragrant my
tongue is already turning numb from the
pepper corn and the chilies and the MAA
tofu is just sizzing hot the entire time
eating it because it’s in that stone
Bowl tofu is ridiculously soft the
fermented Bean they used in this
delicious so you get all that great
earthiness from this dish as well I know
this is not a secret for locals but what
a fine for me also got some hot oil wons
[Music]
this is way better than the dumplings CH
and pork
won the sauce is good it’s spicy it’s
nummy the skin of the wons is soft 100%
come here try out the sizzling maofu I
didn’t make one mistake I got the noodle
with the maofu I see rice sitting up
there so I just went and got some rice
the rice is extra I 100% recommend the
noodles though
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
just got a bag of goodies from truffle
bread a lot of people have been talking
about this Bakery online and I got their
number one and number two items we got
to try the hot one right away this is
the a croak mure and it’s made with
truffles first of all it’s packaged
beautifully if you never had a croak
mure it’s a hot sandwich made with ham
and cheese and they put fresh shaved
black truffle on top they give you a lot
of shaved truffles on top and I’m just
going
to not wasting a single slice of
this this sandwich is covered in cheese
and then the cheese is toasted by a
torch so it’s beautifully charred on top
it’s a very thick sandwich and the smell
of it is just
unreal inside gooy cheese toast is
absolutely perfect super crusty and
buttery on the Outside Inside so soft
and
pillowy look at that delightful crunch
from the crush some toasty cheese and
inside just a nest of pure gooey creamy
cheese oh and there’s pieces of ham in
here as well right under the cheese
deliciously Smoky that croak definitely
lift up to all the hype wow I’ve had Min
a croak in my day never like that and if
I ate that and croaked right after
that’d be a really fitting last meal
also I got their second bestseller this
is their truffle butter bun it’s covered
in a thin l
[Music]
sugar I love this Bakery it’s so Airy
it’s sweet it’s earthy the bread is nice
and chewy and as you chew the wonderful
flavor of the truel just
accentuates if you ever in Tokyo and if
you love truffle or you’ve love croak
come here and get those two things I
just had you’re going to make your day a
lot better also I just want to say that
Crow got today’s conversion is about $7
$7 for a freshly shaved truffle
delicious out of this world croak that’s
such a great
deal so this place you can get a basic
Curry for 500 yen so for about three
bucks where you can get their cutlet
Curry which is about 700 Yen so about $5
I love haing the W Curry shops like this
as soon as you get in they give you a
cup of water and a little coffee
shine portion of Cory covered in meat
sauce and freshly fried Cat Soup
oh this is so
good those is a mindblowing curry it’s
probably the thickest Japanese Curry
I’ve ever had it’s really creamy almost
as if like potato was already somehow
mixed into the Curry on the top crispy
looking Catu and of course this whole
thing just filled with minced
[Music]
meat KATU insanely crispy on the Outside
Inside very very tender and right now
the heat of the cury is starting to hit
me so a little ice
coffee brings the heat down a little bit
overall flavor really deep and spicy and
scrumptious definitely the thickest
curry in the man more like a very thick
gra the rice is really fragrant as well
whether you’re talking texture
flavor overall Aroma of the dish that’s
wonderful all this is super heavy Hefty
portion about $5 us honestly the
coffee goes really well with the
curry before leaving jucha I really
wanted to try this place out this wood
on place look at the line at 300
p.m. that’s not even lunch time we’re
dinner time someone said that don’t be
intimidated by the line because it’s
always a long line they move really
really quickly got to be honest I
intimidated that’s a really long
line just got inside the we wasn’t that
bad took about 15 minutes got the beef
food
all oh this broth is
ridiculous so there St tons of fatty
thin sliced beef tons of scallions of
some garlic I put some pepper on here as
well oh that beef is so
tender that soup is just pure
flavor taste a Dashi and the fattiness
of the beef and I don’t know what else
they did with this I made it so magical
I take a slurp of noodles which are nice
and firm and chewy
I’ll definitely come here and get
thish love this so much I got a second
bowl and this one is pure beauty look at
all the Ecentric lines on this thing
some scallion on top it looks like a
gentle windless pond on a cool windless
summer day where everything’s just
perfectly still and
beautiful chill dashi broth
M I feel like the last dish I like the
broth more than the noodles and the
noodles are chewy they are not nearly as
chewy as these These are super springy I
feel like Spider-Man could use these to
shoot out of his web shooter so elasticy
and smooth the ramen is 100% the best
part of this dish also at 500 yen this
about $3 B delicious UD on yeah this
place has a lme for a reason it’s
definitely worth a try nothing Wild on
the menu everything’s just executed
perfectly
[Music]
[Music]
just got my Yaki soapa and it looks
incredible got a Ready Egg that they put
on top of everything bits of pork belly
underneath shrimp squid there’s some
scallions and right underneath it all
ooh Saucy delicious looking so B the
thing that sets this place aside besides
the fact that they only serve yakis SOA
they make their noodles fresh and the
noodles are made with Hokkaido
flour wow which makes the noodles extra
springy and
[Music]
shoy I love how the fatty por belly is
all charred on this point so you get
that delicious Smokey CH flavor we can
take a bite of the meat as well and the
runny Edge kind of balances without the
sweetness of the yakis
SOA there’s so much sauce here I’m add
some pepper
[Music]
cor so the spicy sauce not only add a
huge kick has a ton of wor flavor in
that as
well the meal goes so good with the
yakis so up I highly recommend it wow
makes it more creamy it enhances the
spice flavor also Peppers delicious num
touch definitely take advantage of the
toppings they give
[Music]
you everything about this from the
seafood to the pork to the chewy noodles
[Music]
also this is definitely the sauciest
yakis so I ever have and the
spiciest dinner time this place it’s a
fried sandwich shop and the price for
the sandwiches are as low as 100 yen per
sandwich so about 67 cents can give me a
sandwich at the shop I got four
sandwiches the 60 Cent sandwich I’m
going to start with the hot sandwiches
every single sandwich is freshly fried
and then stuffed with all sorts of
different ingredients here I got an egg
salad you got to get an egg salad
sandwich whenever you see one here in
Tokyo here in Japan and the sandwich is
fried to a Golden
Crisp this is a hefty Hefty sandwich
it’s definitely oily cuz this thing this
is just deep fried bread so all the oils
is trapped in here but the texture is so
much better than the regular egg
sandwich because obviously crispy toasty
bread it’s just better
oh the egg salad is so good the outside
it’s just a wonderful crunch especially
when you go near the
crust inside creamy Rich yoky egg salad
and this sandwich $450 Yen so about $3
yeah that’s a really good deal for the
sandwich I was actually just going to
get three sandwiches but he said I had
to try the curry sandwich he said this
is his best one and it’s piping hot
wow this is freaking Next Level these
sandwiches are just over stuffed with
filling it’s just a load of Curry kind
of looks like the size of a of a Texas
toast split
open this Curry is delicious it’s spicy
it’s meaty I think there’s some potatoes
in here with some toasty cheese on top
so the curry itself is already amazing
with that crunchy fried toast gives it a
nice crunch with every single bite you
can have a louder crunch from the edges
more solo crunch in the middle there is
no bad bite in the sandwich I might just
like this Curry one
better I’m so happy recommended this 10
out of 10 next two deep fried dessert
sandwiches this is the 100 y sandwich
deep fried sandwich with homemade
whipped cream so the first one’s 100 yen
which is about 60 cents and then the
second one is 300
Yen this is
so bad because it’s so good this is some
simply Simply Delicious stuff and only
for 100 yen if I lived in Tokyo I just
might be getting this every single day I
mean 60 cents for this this thing tastes
like it was made in heaven by a
diabolical
Angel oh my gosh the problem with this
is the whipped cream somehow tones down
the greasiness of the sandwich it
doesn’t taste as oily as the egg salad
or the curry feels like this is pretty
light cream sweet very milky that’s the
thing about Japanese milk products it’s
extremely extremely rich but at the same
time tastes very milky and delicious and
I can’t really compare this to anything
else I’ve had because I don’t think I’ve
had anything like this before I got
Oneal more sandwich to go this is
another sweet sandwich Macho whipped
cream with matcha powder on top with
chocolate shuffles on top of
that it’s really good you get that rich
matcha cream that has a little bit of
bitterness and then all of a sudden as
you’re chewing the chocolate truffle
starts
melts you’re getting all sorts of
different meltin here oh that bite I’ve
been into more of the matcha powder
brings a lot of bitterness but it’s the
good kind of bitterness The Fragrant
delicious tea that balance out the
sweetness and richness of the sandwich
it’s really good I still think that
simple whipped cream one that’s the best
one I think the best everyy one is the
curry although the egg salad I love so
much this is a gem of a place really
good price points on some delicious
sandwiches if you are in Tokyo try out
the whipped cream you’ll know what I’m
talking about
this is it right here so go around the
corner and that’s how you get there this
restaurant’s really interesting it’s a
couple cabbage sitting outside oh okl
nyaki place and here it is all you can
eat Chinese buffet for 1,000 yen so
about
[Music]
650 they just open and already aligned
[Music]
even before taking a bite I think I love
this place a lot of classic Citron
dishes like mapa tofu double cooked pork
there’s spicy beef and peppers spicy dry
tofu there’s a MTO there’s also Pig
trods L men fried rice soups all you can
eat for about six bucks let’s try the
mofu
first spicy nummy very rich you taste
the delicious fermented
beans that is not a bad
Motu I haven’t had a flower roll in so
long take thish dunk it into the
[Music]
m f is really
good very soft and fluffy that’s a
pretty authentic tasting flow roll
double cook
pork this thing is better than the map
tofu giant chunks of pork some pieces
are nice fatty it’s very spicy and
peppery sweet and sour shrimp not bad
wa this I really really like these are
basically stir fried slices of potato
these things are deep fried first so
they got a really nice and crunchy outer
shell and then they stir fry it like you
would do like a cumin beef or cumin l so
you see all the cumin spices on the
outside it’s crunchy is very cumin and
Smokey I’m just tasting every single
dish and see what I’m going to go for
more later
the L man is phenomenal just a heaping
serving of flavor and
gu that is smack you in the face
good another one of my favorite dishes
shredded beef with peppers that they
serve
here not a lot of beef in there beef is
expensive that one’s just
okay yeah toal skin is so good too the
dishes that are supposed to be spicy
they do not skimp on the
heat they do have soup here the soup is
very light little tofu little seaweed
and the tea is
included oh totally forgot I got a piece
of fried
chicken those thing really
tender Grace Pig
TRS m
I have often talked about my love GIC
waterers and this thing in particular so
much great flavor and texture as I’m
sitting here talking and eating my food
all I want to do is go up there and get
more low May and double cooked pork or
those potatoes I think those three
things my favorite thing on this Buffet
all this it’s just Absolute Comfort
frood for
me six bucks for all you can eat comfort
food this is a tremendous deal all right
round two I got more Lan tofu stir Fred
po potatoes double cooked
pork can’t believe all this cost less
than a Big Mac and finish everything off
with some almond
pudding and it’s all locals here too
what a gem of a buffet
[Music]
big bow of pork over rice I’m being
traditional here stting off my day with
bacon lying out the door already small
medium large or huge this is the medium
this is the huge one guess which one I’m
[Music]
getting I’m not sure what this is I just
saw the guy before me order it actually
every everyone is ordering it just in
Chinese it says some sort of gravy it’s
like meat juice or something everyone’s
getting
this that’s my pork ball that might just
be one of the most beautiful things I’ve
ever seen my life seriously tell me this
is not
gorgeous look how juicy this is and it’s
charred on the pork charred on the edges
and also I got to commend them on the
artistic placement of the pork look okay
it’s like spiraling it’s in a perfect
layout with the veggies on the top
almost like a meat
bouquet and it’s borderline hypnotic
watch if I turn this really quickly
doesn’t that just kind of put you in a
trance a little bit and the juice on
every single bit of the pork I think the
extra that I paid is the is the extra
juice that you see
here and I promise you right now that is
well wor the 50 every single piece looks
like has a good balance of fat and just
beautifully cooked I love this I love
seeing the Char pattern this what you’re
seeing here guys this is a magically
delicious moment where The Rice morphs
from something plain to something
spectacularly beautiful it’s AI
Mass if you ever in Japan you love pork
and if you don’t come here you’re going
to be filled with food regret for the
rest of your life H Chase it with some
rice is it weird that I almost like that
but rice more than I do the
pork this is remarkable the pork is just
a perfect amount of fat a little sweet
slight bitterness from the Char an
absolute flavor bomb and this is why
they only need one layer of pork above
the rice that’s how you need to flavor
all this rice
so as soon as you put this in your mouth
your senses will immediately be invaded
But just remarkable Smoky flavor it’s a
little bit sweet incredibly incredibly
juicy look thin layer of meat over
amount of rice you need all this rice to
contain just the immense flavor from the
meat like you need it look at it look at
my rice right now tell me you don’t want
a spoonful of that this is how you’re
supposed to eat bacon for breakfast
when if you’re get extra large bring
your appetite cuz I’m halfway through
this thing is definitely filling me up
I’m going going to take you guys for a
look underneath the porky surface that
rice is already really fragrant before
the juice after the juice I’m going to
fall in love even more
totally didn’t see this oh some spice is
going to make this even more magnificent
I can’t get over how incredibly
flavorful each piece of pork is you know
the G Angry Birds and the birds are
attacking the pigs well this meal the
roles are definitely reversed this
should be called an angry pork Bowl
because every bite is like a flavor
[Music]
bomb you want to have a good day you
start your day off with something
immensely delicious and today I’m going
to have a great day no matter what
happens it’s already great

of the only times I’ll tell you pepper
over
chilies starting today’s food day a
little later but I never been inside one
of these standing only sushi places and
check out this deal so the price ranges
from about 80 yen to about 400 Yen so at
today’s conversion rate about 50 cents
to about 3 bucks per piece let’s go try
some so for 80 Yen about 50 cents you

tremendous this is such a good place to
come if if you want to try some
delicious sushi you don’t want to pay
that
much that shrimp is so sweet again every
single piece I had it’s just
ridiculously delic and fresh really lean
piece of tuna
fresh as can be soft as it can be under
a dollar for that piece and this is the
ultimate eat a lean piece Chase it with
a fatty
piece I mean maybe it’s because the fish
market is right next doors to this place
but the quality is just mind blowing I
can’t believe based on the price how
good this
is and that scallop is just so sweet
this is a gym of a
place highly highly recommend coming

lunchtime lying around the block so
there’s a couple dishes that are really
popular here the second most popular is
the Yodo so thin slices of marinated
beef I dropped an egg on top of that as
well beautiful golden egg the beef the
slices are so thin it looks really fatty
and tender the juice of course covers
every single gring of rice give this a
nice mix this smells so beefy I’m really
actually more excited for what’s coming
up this looks like a bowl of beef and
beef intestines this is what’s smelling
so good in that boiling pot last time I
saw a Boiling Pot like that it was in
Thailand and that thing has been cooking
for over 40 years
so the
beef just about as
tender as they come the fat kind of
melted with the rice with that silky
velvety egg just creates this awesome
luxurious
texture I definitely recommend putting
some chilies on this just to balance out
the richness of all
going to jump into this people really
quick there’s scall on top and the sauce
looks way more rich and soy
[Music]
Saucy there’s also kjck in here as well
this is so
lovely the flavor is definitely richer
and deeper it’s beefier it’s soy Saucier
so it’s got more of a Umami bite to it
I’m love with this bowl I mean the
gildong is good I love that this is a
must stuff you could tell the meat has
been simmering in that broth for so so
long you’re definitely getting some
organ meat this is a little
intestine which is so fatty and nice
again steeped in that delicious
delicious dark
sauce when you’re watching this is just
as Saucy and flavorful as you would
imagine very beefy a bit of that nice
organy flavor some snappiness from the
kjac crunchiness from the scallion again
add little chilies in here I will highly
highly commend trying this maybe after
eat some fish eat something light come
for something that’s just saturated with
flavor and sauce I saw people waiting
here since 8:00 in the morning now I see
why this is the other place I was eyeing
right next to the stew beef place so
they serve rice bowls or pasta and I got
spicy meno
pasta I love this a little cup of broth
the broth is delicious pasta so chewy in
Al Dente covered in Min High cold and
chilies it’s spicy it’s brainy mini Cole
gives off such a deliciously momy filled
flavor this is just incredibly
satisfying for about six bucks I will
highly highly highly recommend coming
here
[Music]
this is a Ramen Shop I just heard about
it’s a newer Ramen Shop and the thing is
it’s very affordable so about 490 Yen
for a small bowl of ramen so about $34
for a bowl of ramen and it’s supposed to
be pretty darn
good so this thing tons of scallion egg
in the middle it’s medium with noodles
very wavy very Saucy very it looks like
very springy noodles there’s also a lot
of sauces here to to put it in let’s try
this on its own
first noodle texture is
delicious I think it’s a Porky broth
let’s add in some extra garlic there’s
hot oil as
well overall this is a very good bowl of
ramen especially for the price I’m pay
under 500 yen the noodle is one of the
chewiest M Dente I’ve had in the ramen
World scallion like I said a lot of them
creates a good refreshing balance from
that thick Rich broth this thing
especially with some heat it’s pretty
awesome that’s definitely one of the
most unique B around I’ve had in
Japan the broth is really good very
Savory very garlicky even before I added
the garlic mainly just from the skin
this is one of the most affordable bus
of ramen I’ve had in Japan it’s also one
of the best I really like this place and
very unique if you want something that’s
completely different than traditional
Japanese ramen good place to come to
this place is on the fourth
floor I think this is
it this place has a special deal where
you can get all you can eat ODed
basically different fish cakes and
vegetables cooked in Dashi bra and you
can get it as much as you want for 500
yen so a little over $3 all you have to
do is get one drink and it could be any
drink soda tea alcohol anything that’s a
fantastic deal it’s really cool they
come over with a fladder of Chopstick
holders and you can pick your own
Chopstick holder got a little L flour
and then scan the QR code order the
drink wow there’s one drink that is very
peculiar if you ever come here you’ll
see what I mean actually a couple drinks
that’s very peculiar one of them is cold
boiled rice oh then just got here inside
there’s kjck jelly a ginormous biggest
I’ve ever seen in the world show my half
a potato and of course fish
cakes light but very flavorful Dashi
kjck some of my favorite
stuff the Dashi definitely cooked into
all the ingredients in here but it is
very light if you want some additional
flavors there’s mustard and chilies I
think for my show my ADD little chilies
add little spicy
mustard oh that’s pretty Dar good that
is a meaty meaty Shai same thing with
the potatoes add a little bit of chilies
and these are really spicy
chilies fish
cake fish cake really
soft very good with some spicy mustard
[Music]
got my second bowl this is a tube shaped
fish
cake this is one of my favorite ones I
think it’s the best in in here I’m so
sad they didn’t have the egg egg is
always my favorite ingredient probably
the best SE in the house is just around
the olden station you can sit around and
point to the pieces you want Odin is
probably one of the best Japanese
Comfort Foods out there and it’s just
perfect when it’s cold out right now
it’s chilly it’s raining I feel my whole
body heating up and this dish is so
versatile there’s so many different
ingredients and depending on which
province you’re in overall this is a
very Lively fun place the staff’s really
really nice so if you ever do come here
don’t feel intimidated that you don’t
speak the language and when I got here
it was completely full Odin is good the
dashi’s on the ladder side but just dip
it in some spicy mustard for $3 this is
an absolute amazing deal and that wraps
