Guess what your video did to me. I paused your video for 5 mins and made myself two cauliflower (that was the only stuffing at home) sandwiches generously loaded with butter and tabasco sauce. And then enjoyed watching the rest of video while I gorged on my sandwiches. Thanks John, great dinner idea! :))
I've never craved a sandwich before in my entire life. Now I see why Japan is so elite. They make me want every type of food they have no matter how simple or complex or strange. It all just appeals to every sense I can think of when it comes to food
@@End3rWi99in Until you taste it... Honestly, in Japan I learned the art of "Less is more". There are fewer ingredients put between the bread-it's basic bread...but each ingredient speaks so beautifully by itself-you don't want to over-complicate it with sauces and extra toppings. So the fruit and cream sandwich (oh my word): The kiwi, strawberry, mango...were all EXAMPLES of how that food should taste. No under-ripe strawberries...no browned lettuce. Each element is perfect in and of itself. If you doubt me, go to Japan and see what I mean-you'll thank me.
@@maureenseel118 Well said, and the Japanese know how to make a solid sandwich! Well explained! Ditto on going there, and trying them yourself! You won't regret it!
Its probably the easiest to try to make. I'm sure its cool whip. If not you can mix cool whip with philadelphia cheese and thats basically cheesecake filling.
It makes me kind of sad that they can have such incredible quality in a $4 pre-packaged sandwich.... Most places (that i have seen) in America; like, big regional gas stations and grocery stores, are extremely stingy with sub-par processed ingredients on a huge piece of cheap bread that doesnt even taste good but it costs more than 4 bucks
I do actually find that one of the most wonderful parts of the Japanese culture. Everything from art, to work, to something as simple (to some) as cooking, they do with an incredible degree of elegance. It's truly inspiring.
@@v5u7sulh2 Boxed sandwiches on white bread in the US look basically identical to these. We just aren't using huge slabs of egg. Go to any 7-Eleven (which is a Japanese owned company) and the white bread boxed sandwiches are absolutely identical to these.
@@cryptictaco5834 I'm sorry.. but Japan is far more better in terms of culture and places to go. Japan is much more healthy compared to America who just slap fat on food. Japan treats food like art making it much better to look at and most likely taste better.
@@movedchannels1654 On the west coast you have excellent food in itself. Each culture has something awesome to offer, and yet, something so repulsive as well, japan is no exception. I admire Japanese cuisine and many aspects of their culture, but like many are far from perfect. Likewise you can find awesome healthy food in the US, although that is mostly limited to the west coast. "Slapping fat on food" is something the US doesn't do, it is more like "lets make food resemble polymers more than food, then pay off the FDA, while undermining the local farmers and centralizing nourishments under our monopoly by lobbying to create laws that unfairly hurt small agriculture".
Dark Glass Today we introduce... The fresh beautiful, and crispy broccoli bush... Or a tree of fresh crispy green delight as some, if not the very most would say... *Crunch*🥗🥗🥗🍵🍵🍵*Crisp* *Crush* 🍀☘️🌿 Edit: Dunno about you, but now that I heard this with his voice, I know what I am having today 🤤🤤🤤
After watching your videos for some time...... I decided to visit Japan. Made some notes on some of your videos and yes they really helped me navigate through out Japan. Really enjoyed the street food and all those recommendations you have made. Even tried the fruit sandwich... and it was delicious. Thank you for a great channel and diversity on Japan. What a country...!!
Hey John. I just wanted to let you know that I’ve been a subbie around 3-4 years ago and I’m so glad that you’re still putting out content. Your videos never disappoint viewers and please keep doing it. お疲れさまです😙
Just like everything else the Japanese learn from other cultures, they improve it and make it their own: cars, trains, phones, clothes, sandwiches, ... My mother bought a shirt for me that was made in Japan in 1973 and I still have it - it has not faded nor is there any tears or stitches fraying. It may just outlast me.
Which sandwich is your favorite? Do they compete with sushi or ramen? Leave me a comment below and I’ll pin the best one to the top! (Who’s it gonna be tomorrow?) More food photos & stories on instagram.com/onlyinjapantv
High class, English-like accent by Peter makes this video turn it into one totally different approach that not only makes one hungry but feel totally in a different level of classiness...such elegance! Love it, guys....but I was really giggling with such humorous words used to describe food...like when you said "inside are six of your new found friends" for the egg sandwich pack...really funny, guys!
liseg89 liseg89 funny, because I’ve lived in London for the majority of my life (and still do) and I happen to date a finance executive who is a typical old public school boy (with the typical proper queens English accent/ upper class accent). You don’t know what you’re talking about. The accent is a poor attempt at an upper class English accent, but nevertheless is a posh accent.
Convenience stores sandwiches in Japan are so good! Even if my flight was really late and 711 is the only thing open by the time I arrive, I still won't be disappointed.
It also makes for a cheap treat if you need it to :) I was very much broke while I was studying abroad in Japan, and a tamago sando always hit the spot at lunch for only 100 yen.
Keep in mind, the sandwiches shown in this video are all from a lot of more specialty shops. Specialty shops might have a wider variety of options, but honestly the main reason they're more expensive is the novelty of it and the fact that they're often placed in train stations, where other food options may not be available (especially stations for bullet trains. Think about it like how airports and amusement parks will have overpriced food because your options are limited to whatever's on the premises). They make for really nice videos like these, by all means, and I have no doubt that they are better quality; however, they aren't necessarily always worth it. On the other hand, I usually went to a convenience store for any of my sandwich needs ;) It's probably changed a bit since it's been a few years, but an egg, tuna or fruit sandwich was usually 100 to 120 yen, a pork cutlet sandwich might be more like 200 yen, while special sandwiches would be upward towards 300-400 yen (ie: while I was there Gudetama was still a big thing, so a pork cutlet sandwich with a soft boiled egg on top with Gudetama on the wrapper was available for 350 yen). Plus, while they may not be as fresh as the specialty shop sandwiches (which were probably made within a few hours of being sold), they're still pretty fresh because of certain laws regarding food sales in Japan. It made for a pretty filling lunch!
Oh no! D: Thankfully yen tends to ride particularly close to USD a lot of the time. I think the conversion right now is 90 yen to a dollar, which is pretty close to where it was while I was there (which was 88 yen, if I remember right). Maybe the prices have gone up since I was there, but it was definitely a rarity if I ever spent more than 150 yen on my lunch on a given day ^^" I'd usually get a sandwich or onigiri, and they were typically around the prices I listed above.
In America, the convenience store sandwich is something to be feared! More likely to make you sick than think was delicious. In Japan, the sandwich as reached culinary heights. You might think "Oh it's just a sandwich, I'll make one at home" but you can't. You just can't replicate these sandwiches at home. Something about the soft Japanese milk bread and the flavor of Japanese Mayo with its rice vinegar creates a unique tanginess. Even something as simple as a ham and cheese has a whole new dimension. I wish i could run out and get one right now!
In Japan, the competition is so hard because everything MUST be improved every day as a rule. After a few decades, the quality and the sophistication reach an insane level.
Carrie Li I think they have to make them bland. Two reasons. A) The nicer and Spicer ingredients are expensive. B) They are scared they might get sued for food allergies. ....... And most "exotic" dishes are dumbed down for American pellets anyways. I know.. I went to a Filipino restaurant once and was disappointed. I'm a half blood Filipina myself. My mom's cooking is way better.
I've never had sandwiches remotely as fresh and delicious as Japan's packaged sandwiches. I don't know how they do it but the bread is soft and moist, and the sandwich itself is never dry.
@@moanaoneil7725 It was great to try a few times and I personally wouldn't eat it everyday, but they eat this stuff a lot for breakfast. Honestly, I'd say it's probably healthier than dunkin donuts and a lot of western breakfasts. It wasn't as sweet, but it was definitely creamier and lighter in flavor.
I love their breads and sandwiches. I am so willing to go back just to eat those sandwiches and pastries. Even only the simple ones from small breakfast cafes are fantastic
Tbh, I actually followed your guide when I went for 3days course in Osaka.I religiously followed both of your takes on Osaka, which features in both your channels. And I even went to dotonbori and tried crab brain which is once in a life time experience! I just want to say, thank you for being honest with your videos. It was pretty intense not having any guide but we managed as we actually shows your video to the local when asking for directions!
batman awesome thank you! It makes me so happy to hear you managed to get around okay and the videos were a help to you! I’m glad you had fun and could really enjoy your trip in Japan!
How to charm your viewers? First, Find a person with a silky smooth talk like Peter. Second, Find a theme whether will grab your target audience's attention or their tummies. Third, upload the video to the main channel on TH-cam. Fourth, Let the viewer get hungry while John is presenting the sandwiches like a professional. Fifth and last, Stay calm and take a depth breath. Prepare yourself to be seduced by the sound of Peter's voice talking about how beautiful, marvelous and delicious are the sandwiches.
Let me fix that for you.. First, find someone who strains their voice to obtain that cheesy "movie voice" that is so commonly considered to be cheap (because it's not the persons natural voice and they refuse to stick to their own vocal range) Second, find some free music, slap it on the video, even if it doesn't fit. After all, these are sandwiches, copyright free classical is 'perfect' for it. Third, Don't spell Kiwi Properly, call it a KiKi instead. Fourth, Show the sandwiches from only one real angle. They're just sandwiches. Fifth, and last, write some horribly cringy scripting, which tries to play off the cheesy, forced movie voice of the guy you convinced to narrate. He doesn't realize how cringy he sounds, anyway, so it's a match made in heaven. Bonus Sixth.. Don't worry about people calling you out for the cliche and cheap writing, narration, and music, because fanboys will instantly attack anyone who criticizes you.
This may help you in your writing. In summary (2) Wordy Sentences. (2) Misuse of Semicolons, Quotation Marks, etc. (1) Punctuation in Compound / Complex Sentences.
This is one of the things I not only found bizarre but totally awesome at the exact same time, all the sandwiches I purchased had zero crusts. The western in me was like ‘oooo! Mums not going to happy i’m not eating my crusts’ and also ‘I’m in sandwich heaven! No crusts!’
I was in Tokyo couple months ago and I tried Katsu sandwich. Amazing.. possibly the most addictive and super tasty. I love your videos but man... it makes me really miss Japan so badly.
The best country in the world, no competition. I stayed in Tokyo for 9 months 15 years ago, it was my best time in 44 years of life, so far. I wish I could go and live there, but with a wife and 3 kids, seems impossible especially that making a living there if you don't know the language is something hard...
Love to hear Peter’s voice in your videos! Thank goodness I was eating breakfast while watching this otherwise I’d be staving at all the delicious looking sandwiches 🤤 Awesome video as always, John! P.S. the Sims like music is perfect 👌
@Sue Burgess yaaa. homogeneous society, strict prisons and capital punishment, good socio-economics, high rates of education and low rates of poverty. When most of your population is happy, healthy and eating every day they arent out robbing or selling drugs.
@@EvanHT Don't sugar coat Japan's situation. I've been there and it is a lovely country and i would love to comeback. But we cannot close our eyes when it comes to their issues. "Happy everyday" is not entirely true, they still have suicide rate issues (now also with youth), the rising number of hikikomori ect. They have high rates of education because they are expected to go beyond (this is generally a common issue in Asia). I am an Asian myself, South-East to be specific, and slowly our education system here is adopting the system of Japan or S.Korean, where students will go to school early morning, and go home later at late evening (even at night) thus creating more stress and pressure for the students
I'd rather have a good narrator, that doesn't vocally strain his voice trying to achieve a cheesy, fake "movie" or "decadence" voice. You know, someone who actually stays in their vocal range, knowing that they're not Vincent Price.
We stayed right outside of Shinagawa station and every morning we would grab some snacks and at night, some more snacks, and great craft IPA beer. Katsu- sando's are epic and so tasty! Japan how I miss you !!
Because America is not structured for food that depends on flavorful and fresh raw ingredients - we’re better at foods that need a LOT of ingredients and special preparation, in order to last longer. Also, because we have SO MUCH SUGAR in everything.
I love how there was a bunch of people just hanging out in front of the vending machines and that they have tables to use for you meals lol. We need these in the USA
Bryan Wright he really did! Beyond what I expected and a real pleasure to edit in! The plug for excellent work: th-cam.com/channels/VxvUCGUwLrAwH9_3q5q00g.html you’ll hear more Peter!
Love your videos...Honestly after watching your videos I'm in love with Japan.. You have the most authentic travel channels in TH-cam. Always a bliss watching 'em ♡

Japan: A country with a history of striving for perfection. The U.S.A.: a country with a history of "that's good enough just flood the market and move on."
That's a stupid thing to say, we didn't invent cars but surly perfected making them, we did invent the telephone, TV, telegraph, high rise buildings, the computer, perfected rockets and space travel, the combine, cotton gin, A/C, steamship, airplanes...the list goes on and on and on, you don't become the world most powerful nation and biggest producer of food worldwide let along have the world market base the value of it currency off of your by "that's good enough"
Right? There's not much I don't like about Japan. Those things I can count on one hand. Prone to natural disasters, overworking, insincerity, in parts overcrowded... that's it. Everything else is admirable.
@@mehreenmirza100 It's more of a general thing. Japanese tend to say things that they don't mean, or they hide their real standpoints for the sake of "not causing trouble". I also count racism in this category of "insincerity". They smile at you and wave, thinking what an uneducated disgusting pig you are. You know, obviously not all Japanese are like this, it's a minority, but if you ever worked as a foreigner in Japan, you would know what I'm talking about. It's a thing.
Who knew Japan had sandwiches?! I didn't! They look really good,if I traveled there, it would probably the first thing I try there. I'm Italian and not used to Asian food so it would be a good starter for me,since I don't like 🍣 . But these look great! 😳 I admire Japanese culture,everything is so clean,and products are very precise and detailed.
💞I was Adopted 65 years ago from Tokyo Japan..live in U.S....I had no idea..how colorful,the foods are and packaged..it’s like a gift of Food..I love the Japanese sandwiches...Egg..is my favorite....Thank You for presenting this to me💞

I made a classic PB&J on raisin bread!
Oh good grief - now there's spam in TH-cam comments. What next? Grrrr….
Shruti - you have to Try Cauliflower Croqette ....it a better alternative to potatos.
I've never craved a sandwich before in my entire life. Now I see why Japan is so elite. They make me want every type of food they have no matter how simple or complex or strange. It all just appeals to every sense I can think of when it comes to food
Super Noot - the bread is just fantastic!! Fits with anything. Best french toast you could have 😊
If you’ve never had “shoku pan” ,as its known in japanese, you gotta! Its superior.
I'm sure in Japan it takes at least 3 years to master making one of those sandwiches.
Noot
Most people: Sandwiches are kind of basic...boring.
Japan: Hold my sake.
now I want some. Curse you, Covid-19!
Honestly these sandwiches looked pretty basic and boring compared to what you get in Chicago, NYC, etc. It's all just cold white bread in a box.
@@End3rWi99in Until you taste it...
Honestly, in Japan I learned the art of "Less is more". There are fewer ingredients put between the bread-it's basic bread...but each ingredient speaks so beautifully by itself-you don't want to over-complicate it with sauces and extra toppings.
So the fruit and cream sandwich (oh my word): The kiwi, strawberry, mango...were all EXAMPLES of how that food should taste. No under-ripe strawberries...no browned lettuce. Each element is perfect in and of itself. If you doubt me, go to Japan and see what I mean-you'll thank me.
@@maureenseel118 Well said, and the Japanese know how to make a solid sandwich! Well explained! Ditto on going there, and trying them yourself! You won't regret it!
Most people? Maybe just you cause there's more than just the bologna and cheese sandwiches that you eat!

There’s a lot of packaging waste in these sandwiches, but of course, the Japanese are also very diligent and efficient in recycling as well. Go them!
theres very minimal plastic usage in a lot of these! and a lot of them are indeed PET plastic so they can be recycled :)
nr1 plastic wasters is thailand. per year thailand throw away so many plastic like all countrys on earth together!
They even package fruits in plastic for no reason :/

And most "exotic" dishes are dumbed down for American pellets anyways. I know.. I went to a Filipino restaurant once and was disappointed. I'm a half blood Filipina myself. My mom's cooking is way better.
I've never had sandwiches remotely as fresh and delicious as Japan's packaged sandwiches. I don't know how they do it but the bread is soft and moist, and the sandwich itself is never dry.
Chemicals my dear chemicals
What’s the bread made of? It can’t be healthy.
@@moanaoneil7725
It was great to try a few times and I personally wouldn't eat it everyday, but they eat this stuff a lot for breakfast. Honestly, I'd say it's probably healthier than dunkin donuts and a lot of western breakfasts. It wasn't as sweet, but it was definitely creamier and lighter in flavor.
Eddie Roy mmmm, yummy 🤤
The Onigiri and sandwiches are fresh and are delivered to the stores in the morning.
Gaaaaah I am jealous. I wish someone would make a restaurant here that sells these sandwiches. I would spend all my money eating there every day.
I love their breads and sandwiches. I am so willing to go back just to eat those sandwiches and pastries. Even only the simple ones from small breakfast cafes are fantastic
Thanks Ralph Macchio. I learned a lot about Japan today.
mugensamurai Ralph macchio 😱? Really?
Srsly dude this is John daub, mugensamurai is just joking
Hah! Oh my gosh, I didn’t think anything of this comment until I looked at his face! Great comparison.
Wonder what Mr. Miyagi has to say about this...From Karate to TH-cam Influencer...
Lol!
One of the best things about traveling is trying different food!
This episode had all stars, nice, and yeah, I had to make my own sandwich now,
Stop wasting time in youtube Shinji and get in the fucking robot. When does your new movie come out ?
OMG I LOLed. How long have we been waiting for Eva 4.44!?
just made one, doesn't come even close to the cheapest ones shown in this vid, in terms of quality...
I'm not gonna get in the robot, it's stinks in there,
I'm in France....and in love with these sandwiches from heaven !!!
Tbh, I actually followed your guide when I went for 3days course in Osaka.I religiously followed both of your takes on Osaka, which features in both your channels. And I even went to dotonbori and tried crab brain which is once in a life time experience! I just want to say, thank you for being honest with your videos. It was pretty intense not having any guide but we managed as we actually shows your video to the local when asking for directions!
batman awesome thank you! It makes me so happy to hear you managed to get around okay and the videos were a help to you! I’m glad you had fun and could really enjoy your trip in Japan!
Mmmmm crab brain. Almost as good as slug eyes.
美味しそうなものばかり〜❣️日本人でも、全然、食べつくしてはいないのよん。
Japan, make me a sandwich.
I want to buy it for you.
...(I am Japanese!)
So western attitude
Okei oniiiisamaaa
@@ゆくてん-n1o that's nice of you! I want to go to Japan and eat sandwiches :(
How many Japanese sandwiches do you want?
Me: yes
Japanese sandwich = THICC
What a great narrator, and those sandwiches are beautiful
How to charm your viewers?
First, Find a person with a silky smooth talk like Peter.
Second, Find a theme whether will grab your target audience's attention or their tummies.
Third, upload the video to the main channel on TH-cam.
Fourth, Let the viewer get hungry while John is presenting the sandwiches like a professional.
Fifth and last, Stay calm and take a depth breath. Prepare yourself to be seduced by the sound of Peter's voice talking about how beautiful, marvelous and delicious are the sandwiches.
Carlos Muñoz And that is precisely how I ended up subscribing within the first 3 minutes of this video 😅
Carlos Muñoz John’s show seem very similar to the Japanology series.
BellRain Chan Yes, except it doesn't have that 1960s feel - lol! I love Japanology anyway, but still...
Let me fix that for you..
First, find someone who strains their voice to obtain that cheesy "movie voice" that is so commonly considered to be cheap (because it's not the persons natural voice and they refuse to stick to their own vocal range)
Second, find some free music, slap it on the video, even if it doesn't fit. After all, these are sandwiches, copyright free classical is 'perfect' for it.
Third, Don't spell Kiwi Properly, call it a KiKi instead.
Fourth, Show the sandwiches from only one real angle. They're just sandwiches.
Fifth, and last, write some horribly cringy scripting, which tries to play off the cheesy, forced movie voice of the guy you convinced to narrate. He doesn't realize how cringy he sounds, anyway, so it's a match made in heaven.
Bonus Sixth.. Don't worry about people calling you out for the cliche and cheap writing, narration, and music, because fanboys will instantly attack anyone who criticizes you.
This may help you in your writing.
In summary
(2) Wordy Sentences.
(2) Misuse of Semicolons, Quotation Marks, etc.
(1) Punctuation in Compound / Complex Sentences.
This is one of the things I not only found bizarre but totally awesome at the exact same time, all the sandwiches I purchased had zero crusts.
The western in me was like ‘oooo! Mums not going to happy i’m not eating my crusts’ and also ‘I’m in sandwich heaven! No crusts!’
I was in Tokyo couple months ago and I tried Katsu sandwich.
Amazing.. possibly the most addictive and super tasty.
I love your videos but man... it makes me really miss Japan so badly.
The best country in the world, no competition. I stayed in Tokyo for 9 months 15 years ago, it was my best time in 44 years of life, so far. I wish I could go and live there, but with a wife and 3 kids, seems impossible especially that making a living there if you don't know the language is something hard...
ありがとう、でもアメリカ人は嫌いだ ✌︎('ω')✌︎。

正気か…？
@@drcommondrate12 He could be British for all you know, racist
Always leave it to you John to make unassuming topics incredibly interesting! This video made me hungry!!!
Even their sandwiches are so neat. So pristine. So precise. Clean edges etc...
Love to hear Peter’s voice in your videos! Thank goodness I was eating breakfast while watching this otherwise I’d be staving at all the delicious looking sandwiches 🤤
Awesome video as always, John!
P.S. the Sims like music is perfect 👌

Lucky people who were Born in Japan
I've been making sandwiches like this for years but instead of pork I use fried chicken patties and mayonnaise.
Ya, my hubby soulmate was born there
chasey1978 My grandmother used mayonnaise to get my head stuck between to polls when I was a kid. Now I HATE mayonnaise.
@Sue Burgess yaaa. homogeneous society, strict prisons and capital punishment, good socio-economics, high rates of education and low rates of poverty. When most of your population is happy, healthy and eating every day they arent out robbing or selling drugs.
@@EvanHT Don't sugar coat Japan's situation. I've been there and it is a lovely country and i would love to comeback. But we cannot close our eyes when it comes to their issues. "Happy everyday" is not entirely true, they still have suicide rate issues (now also with youth), the rising number of hikikomori ect.
They have high rates of education because they are expected to go beyond (this is generally a common issue in Asia). I am an Asian myself, South-East to be specific, and slowly our education system here is adopting the system of Japan or S.Korean, where students will go to school early morning, and go home later at late evening (even at night) thus creating more stress and pressure for the students
The voice over and background music makes the sandwiches looking more delicious..
that voiceover is amazing!
I love the egg sandwiches from Japan. I miss Japan just a tad bit.
Great video I'm hungry now
Eric Holleran nice
Excellent narration by Peter!
Niharika Sadul I agree!
The best Egg Salad Sandwich I've ever had was from a vending machine in Japan. It was so delicious!
"some dishes just plain weird like this tako tamago"
Me: Goddamn that look like the most beautiful delicious food i've seen
Peter's voice is heavenly
Had me drooling the whole time. The voice actor though 😂😂😂
Does anyone feel like they need Peter Von Gromm to do live descriptions of when they unwrap and eat their next sandwich?
I think I need him to narrate my life! (ok...maybe just a couple of days worth... ;P )
He can narrate my next lunch.
Lol, Peter should do that for his next live stream. Sneak up behind random people on the street and start narrating the unwrapping of their lunch.
Sandwich eating ASMR
I'd rather have a good narrator, that doesn't vocally strain his voice trying to achieve a cheesy, fake "movie" or "decadence" voice. You know, someone who actually stays in their vocal range, knowing that they're not Vincent Price.
i'm fasting right now, why i'm watching this ? btw great video as always
Firdaus Marthadinata me too😫😭
Firdaus Marthadinata I'm fasting right now and watching this
Honestly the best narration I’ve ever heard. 👏👏👏🥪
A sandwich, PLUS some ramen noodles. That would be a good lunch (or dinner).
We stayed right outside of Shinagawa station and every morning we would grab some snacks and at night, some more snacks, and great craft IPA beer. Katsu- sando's are epic and so tasty! Japan how I miss you !!
I like them all,,
Plus some Melon pan for desert
s3xyScorp yes!! That would complete an amazing meal for me - MELONPAN (๑･̑◡･̑๑)
Awesome video. Thanks, John.
The absolute best egg salad sandwich I have ever had was one I purchased in Narita Airport. I can still remember the wonderful taste and texture!
Why can't they have sandwiches this good in the Circle K, 7-11, Wawa, Cumby's chill case?
Wawa have some extraordinary subs though.... Especially at 2:54 in the morning
But WaWa is not bad 😭
Because a 3 oz. sandwich would cost $16.00 and would be moldy.
7/11 is amazing! I’m not sure what it’s like wherever you are, but in Japan I eat it all the time! It’s true convenience
Because America is not structured for food that depends on flavorful and fresh raw ingredients - we’re better at foods that need a LOT of ingredients and special preparation, in order to last longer.
Also, because we have SO MUCH SUGAR in everything.
lmaooo the narrating was EVERYTHING! thank you 🙏
I love how there was a bunch of people just hanging out in front of the vending machines and that they have tables to use for you meals lol. We need these in the USA
The narrating,music and the sandwiches! Simply beautiful.
What surprises me the most is how much material is used for packaging the sandwiches. Wait, I am already hungry...
InTeCredo and what do they do with all the leftover crusts?
And yet not a single wrapping in the streets
beautiful packaging design and the art of food is love.
I love those sandwiches. I got to try the fruit sandwich on my last trip to Japan and it was so good.
This without a doubt is my favorite of your videos. I love sandwiches, and I drool every time I watch this. it's just so yummy looking.
You brought your lady friend a gourmet sandwich at a watering hole?
Your a scholar, and a gentlemen
It is especially funny that someone sprayed the word "fat" in the background of that watering hole. It might have been the word "eat".
Peter's voice really is amazing 💕💕
gushing over here... :o) Thank you!
Peter knocked the voice over out of the ball park!!!
Bryan Wright he really did! Beyond what I expected and a real pleasure to edit in! The plug for excellent work: th-cam.com/channels/VxvUCGUwLrAwH9_3q5q00g.html you’ll hear more Peter!
Bryan Wright like the classic Iron Chef!!!!
just came back from Japan. Everyday I always have one or two of their sandwiches. They're just delicious and affordable!
Affordable? They are expensive thoo
@@pinkitydinkity6550 it's relative. Come to NZ and buy a sandwich from a convenience store here or a cafe.
@@emanyu26 okayyy :>
Love your videos...Honestly after watching your videos I'm in love with Japan..
You have the most authentic travel channels in TH-cam.
Always a bliss watching 'em ♡
Debadreeta Sengupta are u subscribed to his only in japan go channel
Santos8085 Absolutely :}
The Japanese people are so creative and so smart but best of all I love their culture this is the reason why I always wanted to go Japan 100% 🇯🇵
You make the best videos on TH-cam. Would be really cool if you did a video what brought you to Japan.
The narration and unboxing starting at 2:30 is excellent!! Yummy 😋😋
Even in sandwich making, the Japanese seek perfection. How can you not respect a culture like that? Thank you for the video. :)
Long awaited...
FINALLY!!!
When the narrator was narrating the speech on sandwiches his voice was like sebastian from kuroshitsuji
Anime Girl OMG YES BLACK BUTLER
Omg you're right!
I definitely agree can mail us lowly ANIME amican's a food box his equivalent voice those sandwich go hand to hand . I swear on brown rice Japan I will get there to teast ur flutty goodness's

サンドウィッチ1つ1つの紹介がシュールでめっちゃ面白い笑
Japan: A country with a history of striving for perfection. The U.S.A.: a country with a history of "that's good enough just flood the market and move on."
I dare you to move to Japan, the world is a toss up on what you'll get in life, be thankful you have a life.
Don't talk about history lmao.. remember Nanjing massacre?
You forgot China. “It’s crap but it’s so cheap the idiots will buy it”
That's a stupid thing to say, we didn't invent cars but surly perfected making them, we did invent the telephone, TV, telegraph, high rise buildings, the computer, perfected rockets and space travel, the combine, cotton gin, A/C, steamship, airplanes...the list goes on and on and on, you don't become the world most powerful nation and biggest producer of food worldwide let along have the world market base the value of it currency off of your by "that's good enough"
X is that about all you have to say for japan? Compared to the US, it’s not a lot.
i love the food episodes
I love this video as the sandwiches look so good, I think I have seen this one 3 times now.
Japan sandwiches 🥪 are awesome
Japan probably has the greatest culture in the world.
Right? There's not much I don't like about Japan. Those things I can count on one hand.
Prone to natural disasters, overworking, insincerity, in parts overcrowded... that's it. Everything else is admirable.
I'd say 1 of the best.
India is amazing too.. the total opposite of Japan.. beauty in chaos
@@levoGAMES just curious to know when u say insincerity,what r u referring to? Do u mean marital relationships?
@@mehreenmirza100
It's more of a general thing. Japanese tend to say things that they don't mean, or they hide their real standpoints for the sake of "not causing trouble". I also count racism in this category of "insincerity". They smile at you and wave, thinking what an uneducated disgusting pig you are.
You know, obviously not all Japanese are like this, it's a minority, but if you ever worked as a foreigner in Japan, you would know what I'm talking about. It's a thing.
Who knew Japan had sandwiches?! I didn't! They look really good,if I traveled there, it would probably the first thing I try there. I'm Italian and not used to Asian food so it would be a good starter for me,since I don't like 🍣 . But these look great! 😳 I admire Japanese culture,everything is so clean,and products are very precise and detailed.
Wow great sandwiches trust Japan to take it to the next level. Excessive packaging though
💞I was Adopted 65 years ago from Tokyo Japan..live in U.S....I had no idea..how colorful,the foods are and packaged..it’s like a gift of Food..I love the Japanese sandwiches...Egg..is my favorite....Thank You for presenting this to me💞
