NOTIFICATION SQUAD: For those of you that missed my shout out from Dwayne the Rock Johnson a few weeks back, allow me to explain it all over dinner (08:54). Ryotaro certainly outdid himself in this video with too many brilliant quotes to choose from. I think my favourite would be the vague admission, "I'm always higher than others" (06:38). What was your fave Ryotaro moment? And like me, WHAT Japanese word do you fail to pronounce? (I just can't say Cold Brew Coffee in Japanese).
Is everything alright there in Japan? I have been reading their latest news recently and I found that there has been an multiple outbreaks of coronavirus in some of prefectures, including Tokyo.
Risottoro driving really looks like a somewhat dissapointed father after school parent's meeting. B grade again, huh, Chris? Also having him as a driver for your scheduled alcoholic trip. I see what you did there, you cheeky....
i love the rock so much! i can't believe chris got a reply from him he's such a sweet adorable man. totally proves you can be manly while still being gentle and kind. love him so much
Chris: all my friends follow me on twitter Ryotaro: that means I'm not your friend! *plot twist music* Ryotaro is the antagonist of chris's life confirmed
probably when he thinks of being high, he thinks of 高い which is often used in "top" or "best" like 最高 that's what happens when your brain thinks in kanji lol but yeah, in the western sense, he's def never been as high as i am on my off days :p
Chris: "Shabu-Shabu" Wait a minute! *flashbacks* "Shabu-Shabu is onomatopoeia for sound the boiling water makes when cooking" This is my only education
I think the most illegal sake is the kuchisake that we can watched in the famous movie of Makoto Shinkai "Kimi no na wa".....supposedly it was made with miko saliva
True, but trust me Rakija is many times stronger than sake (depends on type and region of production), and at least for me sake has a lot smoother texture (also depends on the type).
*sees an outstanding scenery full of amazing migratory birds in a rice field during dawn* Chris: So noisy, it'll be a nightmare to live around here. I need an umbrella to not get shit on.
chris you look so good 😭 you look so happy and alive, the recent content just makes me so happy. sometimes I forget how long I've been watching your channel until I realize how the content has shifted and I'm so happy ABT every change c':
One thing I find outstanding about your channel (amongst other things, of course) is that you are always on point with picking background music. None of that off-putting, upbeat, electronic stuff, it always blends into the video and makes it even more fun.
Man, I remember this video being released and really enjoying it, instantly becoming one of my favourite ones. We didn't know what was to come just less than a month after. Watching these videos that were uploaded right before the pandemic hit make me feel something that I can't quite describe. It's a mixture of sadness and happiness, and a bit of longing. Even now that we're almost back to normal, I can't shake off this feeling, and is something that I will probably still remember for years to come.
Thanks for creating videos. Your videos are spectacularly personal to the point where I feel like I'm there with you, and I've always wanted to go to Japan. Much love
Fantastic vlog, Chris, funny, informative, with stunning cinematography!! And I always love it when Ryotaro is in them. I do hope that you've explained to him, who our National Treasure, Sir David Attenborough is.
Another great video, Chris. Your vids are more than a few notches above the run of the mill youtubers in Japan crowd. They are well produced, edited and have a sense of humor only an イギリス人 could provide. Well done! Regarding the occasional hangover brought on by excessive imbibing, may I suggest ウコンの力？My wife and I were made aware of it by our friends in Japan and it works wonders in mitigating the effects of too much alcohol. Give it a go!
Risottoro still driving around a grumpy Englishman. Look at his face, the pleasure to do this job must be blowing his hearth with happiness and joy -or maybe is just the illegal sake lol-
Well for some reason I keep coming back here, I first came for Chris and stayed for Mr snuggles, but honestly amazing videos from Chris and all his friends, I wanted to say thank you, and I will be actually taking my first trip to Japan this September so yeah thanks Chris, and keep being amazing
Mika Chi Finally, was looking for that. There is just so much quotable stuff in these videos that it‘s actually never clear if anybody liked the same thing you do most 😂
Found your channel yesterday. Not even into Japanese anything. Other then food just been bingeing your videos! I'm willing to bet 100$ your going to be famous for makeing documentaries. You are really goid.
I'm so glad I found this channel a few years ago. Japan is such a beautiful place and all the friends you've made have wonderful characters. Thank you for providing such a fun and educational experience in your content.
Mate been watching your vids for about 2 months. You are a legend, showing Japan and life there while able to slip in some awesome jokes and sarcasm is brilliant.
I really enjoy how you have developed and came to be who you are. Your efforts in editing also show. Greatly appreciate your content and personality. There is a chance that I get what ever British sit com watch desires I have, out here. I laugh more and learn more here tho. Thank you Namaste 🙏
Currently living in Japan and love sake. I’m of Puerto Rican descent and during the holidays we serve a drink called Coquito. Throughout this video I couldn’t help, but wonder what if the rum in Coquito was substituted with Doburoku? 😋
Ya know, I was thinking just yesterday "I _really_ want some sake", and I looked up some videos on how sake is made. Today, you drop _THIS_ video. Get. Out. Of. My. Head. (just kidding, stay in my head, okay, I love you)
This channel is about: An emigrant Fat English guy, His interesting Japanese buddies, their funny shenanigans, BEEF, Booze..... and Japanese culture :D :D . keep it my good fella
It's so nice to see your channel having grown so large. I remember being a 14 year old edgy weeb who wanted to live in Japan when I found your channel and you only had like 12 vids at that point
Strap in your seatbelts and brace yourselves for the most SHOCKINGLY GIGANTIC REVEALS ever of the millennium (1:30)! Chris becomes labeled for life as Risotaro tells it like it is (11:20)! And Risotaro has an Epic Fail on yet another missed opportunity to realize his Dream of finally taking down the snarky Brit's candyass by feeding him to the birds in spectacular Alfred Hitchcock fashion... all this and more in the exciting new episode of Abroad in Japan! 🤩

Abroad in Japan I bet you would look sexy bald.
Thank you habibi
Damn bro, that's awesome. Greetings from Faroe Islands.
To be honest: Risottoros face when he noticed the "No pigs and No japanese people allowed" sign was one of the best moments.
Is everything alright there in Japan? I have been reading their latest news recently and I found that there has been an multiple outbreaks of coronavirus in some of prefectures, including Tokyo.
"Why would a bird get up at 4:00 in the morning?"
To get the worm, Chris.
I think Confucius said that once like 8000 years ago
@@montgomeryfortenberry no, he said it last year! Don't you watch the news?
Muhammad Well I think it was brought up in the onion
Nice and shine! Or was it... early and bright?
I'd love to hear an eye-witness report by Rytotoro from when Sake was first invented in the 3rd century BC
So would he, I doubt any of them could have remembered
@@billykidman2091 He is a man who would remember important things tho.

The Rock: The People's Champion.

It all ties in perfectly.
i love the rock so much! i can't believe chris got a reply from him
he's such a sweet adorable man. totally proves you can be manly while still being gentle and kind. love him so much
@@BothHands1 Yeah, he seems really cool all around, smart and thoughtful about stuff, too.
"I've decided i'm going to stop drinking for a couple of months, also today I'm going to be drink illegal sake with Risottoro"
Consequences
So I guess the equivalent would be Moonshine?
Out of every offense Risottoro has committed, not knowing David Attenborough is, by far, the worst.
@Bruh Moment 😂
Art3mis1990 He may never be allowed in England again.
As an American, I concur.
i dont know his name too, only know him as the epic bbc narrator.
He never said in the video who he was so I had to google him.
Chris: all my friends follow me on twitter
Ryotaro: that means I'm not your friend!
*plot twist music*
Ryotaro is the antagonist of chris's life confirmed
LOL
The plot twist music is the best 🤣
Thought he was his boyfriend (no sarcasm, for real thought that)
@@Saephaan that's disturbing lmfao
"and free coupons" 12:34 that face
I think that line broke Ryotaro.
Oh my god, that was my favorite part! His expression was pure, unscripted bafflement, lol!
@@AbroadinJapan Somehow I doubt it's the first thing you've said that has broken Risottoro! ^_-
@@AbroadinJapan u mean jotaro?
"I'm always higher than the others, that's why."
Ryotaro casually spouting villainous lines.
He freestyles on the weekend.
probably when he thinks of being high, he thinks of 高い which is often used in "top" or "best" like 最高
that's what happens when your brain thinks in kanji lol
but yeah, in the western sense, he's def never been as high as i am on my off days :p
sorry, who is Ryotaro?
Flayff
i think she meant to say risottoro
risottoro*
Chris: "Shabu-Shabu"
Wait a minute! *flashbacks*
"Shabu-Shabu is onomatopoeia for sound the boiling water makes when cooking"
This is my only education
You learned well

I think the most illegal sake is the kuchisake that we can watched in the famous movie of Makoto Shinkai "Kimi no na wa".....supposedly it was made with miko saliva
@@308042425 I had blocked that from my memory. I don't thank you for making me remember it again, lol.
Risottoro not being Chris' friend is the biggest plot twist of the century that everyone saw coming!
He's either his sugar daddy or his nemesis.
Or both.
lol
Called it! Risottoro is Chris's mistress.
Well if ever Chris gets killed off by Risottoro the Police will now have mounting proof; one of which is this Video! 😉
Top 10 anime shock moments of all time
The birds really made for a nice part of the video!
o_____o
So waking up at 4 was all worth it 👌🏼💯
"It takes a lot of courage to stand here without an umbrella."
*Immediately proceeds to look up with his mouth open*
The birds in the sunrise sky shot is incredible, I'd say worth the early wake up.
I was impressed the camera did it justice after all!
"Housewifes" one of the ladies gives him the stare of death 3:44
Totally deserved lol
I don't think they know what it means. Probably a coincidence
But about 10 seconds later the other lady responds in English. They def understand.
He wasn't wearing a mask!
"I'm ALWAYS higher than the others."
-Ryotaro 2020
Man I live near Dubrovnik, would like to try some of that Dubrovnik sake.
I think that is called Rakija and it is made out of fruit instead of rice
True, but trust me Rakija is many times stronger than sake (depends on type and region of production), and at least for me sake has a lot smoother texture (also depends on the type).
THAT'S CROATIAN CITY FOR GODSAKE!

chris you look so good 😭 you look so happy and alive, the recent content just makes me so happy. sometimes I forget how long I've been watching your channel until I realize how the content has shifted and I'm so happy ABT every change c':
I'm convinced Ryotaro has been tasked with keeping an eye on Chris by the Japanese government.
Good video as always man!!
ROFL I agree with this
" I decided to give up alcohol. Not forever ofcourse. Never that.." Broad you funny guy 😂
One thing I find outstanding about your channel (amongst other things, of course) is that you are always on point with picking background music. None of that off-putting, upbeat, electronic stuff, it always blends into the video and makes it even more fun.
12:30
Ryotaro: and that's how they keep the birds coming back every year
Chris: and free coupons
Ryotaro: **visible confusion**
I still have trouble telling if you and Ryotaro are just bantering to put on a show or if that's just how you guys always act with each other.
Not even I know anymore.
@@AbroadinJapan speaking of Reality blending with Fiction, you should watch "Perfect Blue" for your "movie a day" challenge
Abroad in Japan as the time of this both the commenter and Chris have 69 likes, Nice.

Where did he get it before 5am??
Thanks for the informative and entertaining video. Keep the videos coming, they're very much appreciated.
Watching Chris's videos that include an early-morning wake up always excite me. He makes me want to plan out my own sunrise adventures.
Chris you always break promises to your self lol
Hopefully the day will come soon when I don't betray myself or get put in a life threatening situation by Ryotaro.
@@AbroadinJapan hope its not too soon, we won't get this amazing content
We haven’t had a video about sake in a while,I was getting worried Chris😂 also 13:10 missed that tune😍
I. LOVE these mini documentaries paired with your humor!
Another amazing video! Love watching your adventures :D Keep up the amazing work!
As soon as I saw Risottoro and heard ‘rare sake’, I guessed the new way he’d try and kill Chris...
"Abroad in excuses" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Swearing off drinking when you're hungover always falls through.
not for me lol, i blacked out, threw up 6 times, and then was still drunk in the morning 🤢 now the smell of alcohol makes me sickkk >.

Amazing, every video I watch makes me want to move to Japan even more. Thank you for experiencing the things that we cannot, especially Ryotoro XD
Ryotaro & Chris have such great chemistry! Love Abroad in Japan...
Ryotaro is very good at using the word “bloody.” A lot of non-native English speakers can’t do that.
It's incredibly bizarre as a Brit to see a Japanese guy speaking in a mixed Japanese/British accent and using words like "bloody"
Hi Chris i recently rediscoverd your channel and i have binged your journey across japan series and i love it keep it up with everything : )
This was absolutely fascinating!! I'd LOVE to see those birds with the sunrise...
Ya know, I was thinking just yesterday "I _really_ want some sake", and I looked up some videos on how sake is made. Today, you drop _THIS_ video.
Get. Out. Of. My. Head.

Ryotaro is at it again with all his creative ways of trying to kill you!
How can you not feel impressed by the standard of filming editing. Great video.
Beautiful shots of the birds! Always appreciate your cinematography. Top notch , innit. 😂
