    What month did you guys go? Trying to decide If we should go during June when it’s raining season but not too hot as July/Aug month. Thanks for amazing tips and foods!

    We adore your family and your work. We visited Tokyo this past April, while we were on a 3-night pre-cruise tour. We loved Japan so much, we are going back next April on another cruise. We are looking forward to the location links. Keep up the great work and stay safe.

    Hey family. Sorry about the flooding. The unexpected challenges in a home. Glad Serge was able to join you quickly. Sean and Ella’s reactions to the foods are hilarious. They are a bit more daring than me. Wonder why you couldn’t sit at the counter on your date night? Did you guys ask or just took it for whatever it was? We were on the MAS 1.5 Bermuda cruise last week and was hoping to experience local street food. This was a different port to accommodate larger ships. Was all tourist restaurants. And at the beach the usual burger fries hot dogs 🌭 mozzarella sticks and chicken fingers. So very disappointing. We ported right In Hamilton in 1992 but was a smaller ship. Literally walked off the ship, crossed the street and was in local town. That was amazing. Great vid as usual. Thanks so much for sharing and see you next video.

    Try having someone who speaks Japanese call and request a seat at the counter the next time you make a reservation. Forget about online reservations. Personally, I like sitting away from the counter cause I feel the need to say "oishii" to the chef for each course. I just want to relax and eat. Lol.
