The way Paolo says “mmmmmmm” sounds like Cookie Monster!
I literally just thought of this as well😂😂😂😂
I always think he sounds like Goku in the original Dragon Ball series when he eats.
Is he Canadian?
Can't tell from his accent
@@chanceDdog2009 - Paolo is mixed breed Filipino and American 🇺🇸 raised in the US of A🇺🇸❗️Paolo’s roots is from Bauang, La Union, Philippines 🇵🇭. His complete name: PAOLO DE GUZMAN! Right Paolo, ? pls confirm my info. ThankQ FYI‼️
🤣🤣🤣
I honestly love how genuine, down-to-earth and fun Paolo and Maiko are!
They make such a great couple but also a great channel!
Much love
ok coomer
11:01 sounds like confused dinosaur eating man for the first time
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
hahahaha XD
lmao, spot on
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish I can go to Japan again soon. Food was so amazing and it's so beautiful, you are lucky to live there :). Greetings from Mexico City 🇲🇽
Watching this in the middle of night, and i couldn't stop it while hating that I can't have any of these food, SADDDDDD
Trueeeeee
You guys make the best the cutest Food Vlogger couple on TH-cam. Absolutely loved this episode. Paulo is so original.... No pretense, no signature (overdone) moves.... No bad humor. Just love the simplicity about this guy.
Okay, I followed the Zebra's footsteps, and I can tell you Paolo knows what he is talking about!
#6 - Yukari - I went there twice. The first time, I found the chicken to be a bit dry. Not sure if it was the spicy flavour that I ordered the first time, but I did a return leg the following week and ordered their regular fare and thought is was quite good.
#2 Sekine - Their Nikuman was excellent. The ladies behind the counter were awesome. Everyday I would go, they had a good laugh because I would always order ichi Nikuman. By the thrid day, they were running to get the Nikuman before I ordered! It was hot as advertised and the bun was fluffy. The meat was juicy as shown in the video. Really nice taste!
#1 Benitsuru - How good is this??? If you want a reservation, you need to get in line before 8:30am. I arrived at 8:27 and I was 15 people deep. I paid my 1,000 Yen and got the earliest reservation possible at 10:40!!! The pancakes were top drawer. I got the one with the fried eggs and bacon covered with the sauce. Great to have once...but if this was the daily diet, I would be dead in about 3 weeks! Service was great. People were polite. Couldn't ask for a better experience.
For benitsuru did they give you back the 1,000 yen when you went back for you reservation? Or is that just the cost of being able to eat there and they don’t give it back lol
@@starconfections4319 Yeah i also want to know that. Please respond.

The way your eyes open when engaging with the food makes me want to visit Japan more than ever!!! Arigatou 😎🙏🏼
Hey, I watched a few of your videos and just wanted to say... Thank you for providing some valuable information, especially to those who want or will be travelling to Japan. I'm heading there at the end of the month and I think these sorts of videos are really helpful. Keep up the great work!
I love Japan so much..i adore all the Japanese people. So humble and nice country..
Yeah I would love to visit Japan
My boyfriend and I are obsessed with your youtube! Love how youre so informative and energetic! We'll be going to Japan in April! and all our itinerary is from your compiled videos!
How was it?
@@ismael2270 amazing!
Benitsuru.....Homemade Pancakes is one of the most memorable meals ever.
Basic rules.
1. Get there around 8.30am to 9.00am. Book in your reservations. The earlier you get there the more chances you will get in for a booking to suit your time. (I got there at 9.30am and got a booking at 1.15pm for 4 people) Make a booking and do Paolo's favourites in the area... Menchi Katsu is a winner.
2. There are several menu items. Honey butter, Strawberry, Chocolate matcha, seasonal fruit and Banana and Eggs Benedict. You can order basic Honey and Butter with extras. Extras are Whipped cream, ice cream, custard sauce, chocolate sauce, roasted nuts and rum raisin. The will also have a seasonal fruit. For example Strawberry or red grapefruit.
3. He only serves 6 people at a sitting.
If you want the best possible pancakes you have ever had.... this is the place. Easily!!! This is on another level to the other pancakes
I cannot speak japanese, would it be hard for me to go there and make a reservation?
The lady in charge speaks English. The menu is simple and you wont have any problems. I hunted food for my entire holiday in Japan, watched all of Paolo's videos and found my own favourites. This place is on my number 1 favourites. Im a chef at trade and this place blew me away
Will they only start taking orders when they open at 10 or can you get there around 8:30 to secure a booking before they open and walk around asukusa whilst you wait for your time?
@@jelgaerlan8280 The line starts at 8.30am and that is just to wait for a reservation. We got there at 9.00am and we were 20th in line already! (This was in mid April) They open at 10.00am but basically someone comes out at about this time and starts booking everyone in for the day's reservations. By the time this happened, there were about 30 people behind us. Once we secured our booking (11.30am for 4 of us) we walked around and explored Asakusa! It was definitely worth the wait.
Do you apply the deposit towards the meal, or is that in addition to the meal

Paolo fromTOKYO Very informative video. Every looks so yummy! I noticed that in order to secure the reservation from Benitsuru you mentioned it required a 2000 yen deposit. Do you get the money back if you show up for the reservation and buy something?
@@gaspode7 Actually, the required deposit is a thousand yen per person and it will be credited to your bill. If you don't appear at the reserved time, the thousand yen will be forfeited. I was lucky I saw this video while I was in Tokyo. Out of the 10, I hit 3.
I ordered the bacon and egg and was it ever delicious. I would order extra bacon as it was so good. Don't know if they will do it with extra money. Would have loved to go back for another 3 tier but I was short of time.
Paolo fromTOKYO If I take your advice for every single food hints you throw at me I’m gonna come back from Japan looking like a sumo fighter hahahha.
I’m from Brazil and taking a vacation trip there next May2109. I can hardly wait for it.
Greetings from New York!!! It's late Sunday afternoon just relaxing watching some TH-cam channels!(^^)
I think you & Maiko did an excellent job of "SHOKU REPO"! (^^)(^^)
Everything looked delicious but that Pancake place was so unique! No wonder the reservation is required! They're smart by asking for the deposit, so that would prevent from dealing with "NO SHOW" customers! I also love to try the "MENCHI KATSU" "MATCHA ice cream" "ONIGIRI" !! Your video really made me wish I lived in Japan!(^^) Hopefully, I can visit those places on my next trip to Japan! Oh, it would be nice if you could list up the name of the places, so I don't have to remind the video...
@@Angelique218 ini adalah beberapa
Yesss!! Thanks for this Paolo! You absolutely need to do this more and more! I love hidden gems!
*Onigiri being made 2 min ago*
Paolo: “It’s like one of the freshest onigiri I ever had”
Paolo you the man👊. You're so energized and charismatic!! Love every video you have put up. Almost 100k!! YAY🍰🍣🍢🍛🍽🥢
Now is 700k
T3AM Z3US it's 900k now.
I like these kind of comments so I can gauge how fast a channel grew. Now it’s over 1 million
It's 2.2M now How surprising 😳😳
Dude, great video again. The fam and I are hitting Tokyo in December and it can't come soon enough. Been following your vlogs for the last couple of weeks and loving all of it. Keep up the great content!
Have an awesome trip Clark Li!
It’s funny cos while i enjoy watching Paola eat & describe the dish, its Maiko’s review that I take in seriously! 😆
Wow!!! What a wonderful video, Paolo!! I like it. Please shoot this kind of videos more n more!!!
I always thought the ice creams in anime's were just stylized, now I know it is real.
Thank you so much for this awesome video! I'll be checking out the pancakes for sure! As well as the matcha, taiyaki, onigiri and dango! Just in time for our Tokyo trip next week! Love your videos, Paolo & Maiko! :)
Those pancakes gave me goosebumps. Definitely stopping there when I visit Tokyo.
Dude's always look so happy! First videos I thought he was faking it, but now I think it's legit because nobody can keep it up for so long. Nice to watch!
Im going to Japan for the first time next month. I'm binge watching your amazing videos. I will visit the shops you've recommended. Thanks!
One of my favorite parts of Tokyo! Awesome video as always! 😊
This is such a wonderful video. Thank you so much for taking us on a tour of the back streets of Asakusa. The food looks divine and it makes me long to come to Japan. I want to come to Japan anyway but the food is an added bonus.
Another great video, Paolo! I like that you kept your interactions with the shopkeepers in the video. Most other vloggers don't do that, but I feel it expands and authenticates what you're experiencing. Also I enjoy hearing "the home language" spoken. I began watching this to see the pancakes (my gosh!! the pancakes!!!) ... but now I think my favorite segment is when you tasted the onigiri from the shop called Yadoroku. Seaweed is not one of my favorite foods but I'm always ready eat it and to learn how it can be prepared. Thank you!
I'm traveling to Japan in 2 months, and your videos have me so excited to eat there! So informative!
Just discovered your channel and I love it! Everything looked so good, I'm going to hit up every single spot 🤤🤤🤤.
食レポ上手すぎ！マイコさん可愛すぎ！
田舎に住んでるから見るのが楽しい🎶
Paulo your video LITERALLY HELPED ME GET AROUND ASAKUSA !!
Geez what a world it has become that you have to apologize to the VERY few for enjoying yourself and sharing with people.....
Thanks for the great video. Always happy to watch your videos with my wife. Can't wait for are far future trip to Japan with your insights.
Oooo, those pancakes looked gooood. Love you guys! x
Oh my goodness I want to try all of it. I’m on a diet but if I were visiting Japan I’d try all the stuff on this list 😄
Wowieee congrats on the 100k! Lovin the guide as always and omg nice hair maiko blonde suits you well 😍👍🏻💕
Man keep it up! Watching your videos getting more excited for you trip to Tokyo this March 2020! Definitely learn many in your videos :)
I tried the Menchi Katsu one last year and it was really good. I love how they have a place nearby where you can eat
I just love how enthusiastic you are when try food lol
Nicely done made my wife want to go - sadly some places are closed. You have a very relaxed presentation that comes over very well. The lady provides an excellent counter-point. Very good job!
So nice to see American style bacon in the #1 here. I keep seeing you call other meat “bacon” in other videos and I recognize there are many styles, just not what I’m used to seeing. Worth the wait though as this tower of pancakes, bacon and fried eggs drenched in hollandaise sauce looked amazing.
And yet another Emmy worthy video! Paolo and Meiko, your videos are now my daughter and mine's together time each week. We both love both of you and enjoy the videos soooo much! We both hope to visit Japan when Maranae is finished with her university. Keep up the super work and we look forward to your next adventure. Peace:)
That's awesome Christopher Pappas! So cool that you can watch my videos with your daughter. thanks for sharing.
Christopher Pappas yes! my daughter and i watch these vlogs and also miss mina oh
Today i went to yakitori & nikuman and It was vert good. Very friendly staff too :)

The very last one with eggs and bacon looks out of this world delicious!! Yummmmy!

Thanks for watching Mika A! I appreciate the suggestion.
I really like your channel! You are very charismatic!
Thanks Isadora Félix!
Fellow fried chicken fan, here. Your video made Yukari a stop for us on our recent Tokyo visit. Fantastic! My wife was skeptical but it was so good.
Paulo and Maiko, you guys make the best team. I look forward to your posts because, in a word, they make me happy. Also, I LOVE YOUR MAPS!!! Best concept ever!!! Keep up the great work.
CMON, folks, let’s get him over 100K!!!!!!!

Going for my second trip to Japan in October and this is helping me to go to all the spots I missed out the first time round. I love this street food series and I get so hungry after watching every time, even if I have a full stomach!! :< Btw, are you considering doing the same for Kyoto by any chance? ^^;
Your videos are awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I love your positivity! Everything looks so good! Thank you for sharing!

Ohhh yeaaaaah baby! Borders reopening got me rewatching ALL of Paolo's videos while making my fresh new 2023 itinerary! CANT WAIT TO BE BACK TO MY FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH!
thanks for showing us all the great food, Paolo!
このパンケーキはホテルの朝飯より美味しい！
甘いもの好きでもないけど、このパンケーキまじやばいね。見た目も美しい。
I know how Maiko feels!! Yesterday, we went to Yukari, Asakusa Menchi, and Sekine and I’m stuffed. Today, we are now standing in line for reservations for Benitsuru. Got here at 8a, and already a person in line!
Mate thanks for all your videos they're amazing. Heading there for the first time soon.
Have you made any video for Kyoto ?
I have to try that number 7 matcha gelato!
お元気ですか？

I appreciate you calm demeanor
You have interesting videos, informative and my gratitude you speak with your normal tones!
I'm going back to Tokyo next month and man while I love going to japan I'm just avoiding 2020. I live in LA and I lived through one Olympics already. it suuuuuucks
Also come on man don't show me Yadoroku. That place is beyond amazing. I'm sad I cant have it for lunch.
"Let's party in Paolo's mouth!" 🤣
Another awesome video my friend! I was in Japan 2 weeks ago and it was definitely hot, hotter than where I came from. Keep posting! Already thinking of going to Japan again.
Your videos are very helpful! We are going to Asakusa soon and Definitely going to all the places you mentioned in this video! Thanks Paolo😁
I love this man.
See's the actual rebirth of Jesus: "Here is jesus... He's pretty cool"
See's ham sandwich: "Oh my god it's so buttery and hammy it just melts in your mouth" *breaks ham sandwich apart for the camera* "look at that ham" *takes another bite* *eyes roll to the back of his head* "So good."
You got him pinned down to the T 😂
"I don't know what you guys are going to do when you come here for the Olympics" - this aged poorly :(
Japan is saved from tourists.
@@Laperdash thats a bad thing
Just catching up on some previous videos. This was Awesome!
Nice video Paolo ✌great job! Thanks for sharing all the good spots for the good food 👍
i love fried chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can I come to japan for alone for 10 days maybe? I asking myself if i can have fun without my friends when i am alone in japan...
I went to Japan for 2 weeks by myself, it was really fun, definitely worth it
Do it
I spent this entire April alone in Tokyo, it was awesome
Yes. It’s fun and easy
Brad Brooks Do you know where the best bars/clubs at Tokyo especially for tourist is, who visit that city for alone?
Very nice information... ありがと。
Love you both and all your videos
唐揚げめっちゃ美味しそう(´﹃｀*)
Thanks なみちゃん! It was pretty good.
Paolo fromTOKYO
Thank you for your reply! I definitely will go eat! (*´ч`*)
In the movie, it is interesting to introduce a lot of things that Japanese people do not even know! 😄🎶 I am looking forward to the movie from now on!
Whenever you say Maiko is here, I always hear My girl is here 😂
I love all your videos! They are so entertaining to watch! 👌🏼🤗
Definitely got to make a reservation for those lovely pancakes when I get there. Awesome video, as always.
