This video took a long time to put together, so if you enjoyed it, I’d really appreciate a like or a comment. It genuinely helps more than you think. Thanks for watching! 🙂
❤❤Hindi Speaking please
It was a fun project I had never watched before！！
But it must have been hard work… right?
So…If you try tonkatsu again please use the sauce made for Tonkatsu.
Thats for the cabbage !!
(The brow pot you see on the left of the video is the tonkatsu sauce.)
And if you have cance to go to Goemon( famous japanese pasta chain restaurant)
I'd like you to try pasta with japanese soy sauce or salt sauce. It`s delicious😊
He was in South Africa dude! Hey bro!! Come visit again 🎉
Great video!! Just a simple advice when you do the same kind of video next time… speak slowly and clearly, using simple English like “What is a good restaurant here?” emphasize good restaurant and use gestures like 👍 and 👇 (here). Words like “recommendation” and “favorite” can be difficult for Japanese people, especially when spoken too fast!
Looking forward to the next one 😄
next time when you come to japan i recommend you to learn atleast n5,n4 level japanese.
I like how raw is this video compare to other youtube video. Pretty cool and I subscribe to your channel
Love the content robert keep making more of these
日本人から見ても、おもしろい内容でした！
ソースはとんかつに、ごまドレッシングはキャベツにかけるのが、より日本っぽくて、さらにおいしい食べ方ですよ～
Maybe try communicating with the translation app rather than going straight in with english next time. Saves everyone the trouble. You don’t go to a western english speaking country expecting everyone to speak I don’t know farsi just cause they cant speak english.
ウナギの美味しさが世界中にバレ始めてるのよね⋯
ウナギの蒲焼嫌いって人も知らないしw
How tall are you? Some shots make you look like a towering giant while in others you look just a bit taller than normal. These modern cameras do all sorts of stretching.
After you eat before leaving its nice to say gochisosama 😊 means thank you for the meal❤
bro didnt even whip out the google translate wtf is this
Thank you, really good video bro, keep doing it! 😁👏
That Tonkatsu looked delicious asf 😋
If you are speaking to any locals, try saying something like "mata ne" or "ja ne"for goodbye. Sayonara is very…..sad? I suppose. It is a permanent farewell, implying you will never ever see this person again. It directly translates from "goodbye" but it means more like "goodbye forever". The first two I mentioned are "see ya soon" and "later!"
very helpful! I saved that eel restaurant so quick !
May I ask what camera do you use for your videos? Love this style of videos
Thank you for the video I have social anxiety so this is almost like exposure therapy for me
13:05 I swear you walk by the place, without noticing that. Please tell me I’m not Trippin.😭😭😭
Edit: 8:33 I’m not Trippin lol
osaka is where the delicious food is at
Next time, I think you should speak simpler English or ask in Japanese!
Next time, I'll go to the US and speak in Chinese to the locals there and ask for their food recommendations.
I love how that first girl almost just casually grabbed the phone from you like: "Yo, let me just show you the right place" lol
I only clicked because I saw you wearing the Madrid jersey
They fleeced you in the unagi spot
bruh close your mouth when you cheww
16:11 that is not misosoup ,but kimosui(a kind of Osuimono)
Grilled eel and this are a classic combination.
im going for the first time in may and that unagi restaurant is literally a 5 minute walk from my hotel. definitely going there!
I went to Maisen last September. Great tonkatsu, their sauce is so good but staff was so-so with us
