Martina: So I hope this video has encouraged you to explore Kichijoji...
Me: I feel very encouraged to explore my fridge
lol!
"When you stick your wood in the holes get really juicy" 😂 good one Simon
I'm actually quite proud of that one. It' was pretty epic :D
am I too pure to read this?
^_^
You should do a video of all the best, wittiest, funniest & most epic Simon and Martina moments ... fortunately for us, there are so many and would be very long ... like the wood
Harmonica Alley in Kichijoji can be intimidating if you don't know what you're looking for, so we're taking you on a food tour of it to show you what it's all about!
These always post at breakfast time and I'm not even mad.
Is there a cat hotel in Tokyo( or Japan)? Safe palce to put your pets when you travel?
Simon and Martina Thank you guys for showing these videos and showing how to eat them. It's so helpful. It always makes me want to go on food adventure. 😁
Everything looks so good!!! 😣😣😣😣
Where is Harmonica Alley exactly? I tired Harmonica Alley in gmaps, but it shows a specific shop
did anyone notice how good martina looks in this video?
+im allergic to humans I noticed. She's beautiful and I love her :)
Simon and Martina 🥺😭🥰
Simon, as someone else who is experiencing male pattern baldness when you shaved your head you inspired me to do the same.
Who cares if we're missing hair? We're rocking bald!
I think Simon looks great bald and I bet you do too! Rock that scalp! 🤗
I feel a lot better with a shaved head now. I wish I got into this sooner!
You look awesome Simon!
Yess. You go, bro! Rock that head
Simon just looks better and better each time, mad props.
We just left harmonica alley on our last night of our honeymoon in japan, we tried the yakitori place, the soup dumplings and the rammen house all based off this video, we regret nothing all were fantastic. But dem gyoza tho! God damn they were excelent.
Them minmin gyoza.....
Ahhhh~ Martina you look gorgeous in this video, excited to see the whole thing 😍 I'll come back to this lmao
I have to say: agree with the "just order anything if you don't speak the language" tipp so much, when I was in Hong Kong I always did just that and was never disappointed.
Let's be honest, when ISN'T Martina 10/10?!?!
I agree she is always so adorable but there is something about her in this video. I thought at first that she seemed in pain. Maybe it's just because her hair is pulled back.
Yall compliment each other so well, it's good to see a marriage like this. Yall truly love and care for each other and it shows in all your videos. I truly love yall and look forward to more videos! Keep up the good work!
Also, NOTIFICATION SQUAD! I just had dinner with friends and I feel great! What did you have for dinner today?
Simon and Martina Dinner hasn't happened yet...but I'm hoping for ramen🤤
Simon and Martina I had beefy mac!
Homemade quick pho!
Basamati rice with beef and broccoli.On diet.
Hope Spudgey gets better!
I hope the Spudge is doing well! ♡ Sending all my love to him!
He's doing great now!
Simon and Martina That's great to hear! :) Fluffy marshmallow dragon dogs have long lives~ ♡♡♡
So glad to hear that Spudgy is feeling better! **tummy rubs for The Spudgy**
😭😭😭 it's so sad to think he's gone now. Luv you forever spudge
Here is my like for Simon's pun !
It was great! Probably my best. It's all downhill from here.
Every video just makes me dream more of going to Japan to eat! I need to take my PhoFam 🍜👀👌
What are you doing here??? lol jk....
And by the way, If you've never been to Japan, you'll love it. A little far for a visa run, but I recall either vietjetair or jetstar was advertising new flights to Osaka...
Andy Chan Japan is a huge dream on my bucket list! Plus there two are fellow Canadians🙌🙌
hahah , me too !! Only to indulge myself in eating amazing dishes !!
Sparkling _red_ wine? That is intriguing! I'll be checking my local area if they sell it, for research purposes...
I'm like Simon when I eat out with friends: not much of a talker. I enjoy the food and company. I'm beginning to interact more, baby steps!
Callia I'm 99% sure it's called lambrusco. It's a sweet red sparkling wine that is served cold. It's amazing
Miss.Herro.Kitty Thank you! I can find it in stores, cheers!🍷
yes it's Lambrusco, from Italy. It's soooo delicious :) I hope you find it!
there is also a sparkling shiraz. goes really well with turkey
The brand of wine they had in particular was Sirromet, an Australian wine producer that sells a sparkling red. It doesn't taste at all like lambrusco, but that is also nice 😊
What you tasted in the beginning is actually something call 生煎包 (sheng jian bao)，which originated from shanghai china. 小籠包（xiao long bao), is traditionally steamed. but both are delicious!
Ohhhh thanks for the info! :)
Simon and Martina And don't worry about the "technique" of eating them. Everyone has their favorite way, so it's ridiculous to say there's a "wrong" way. :)
I'm Chinese and I split my xiao long bao in half in a spoon, so don't worry about your poking! XD
Yes, and No. In most parts of China, it is indeed 生煎包. The joint is called 上海焼き小籠包， Shanghai yaki Shōronpō (or Xiao long bao in Mandarin). Shōronpō is a much widely recognized general term in Japan for this soupy dumplings small, big, or even pan-dried. So Simon was right. That was exactly what they called that in the place. :)
Amy He what is the supposedly right way to eat it?
Wow I was literally thinking to myself, "I'm really starting off the week in a really bad mood" but now there's an EYK video for me to watch, AND the podcast!!! What a great day :D
I hope we can make your day a little bit better :D
Thanks you guys
Simon and Martina where can i find yalls podcast
Borah Kim damn they have a podcast
🌸 Martina rocking that Metallica top! Giving me life 🌸 and now I have to go and listen to the black album on repeat ❤️
what a wonderful beginning to my week! thanks Simon and Martina ♡ i hope you feel better Martina, sending you a lot of love and good vibes from Costa Rica. Thank you for always making the effort and put up content for us living boring lives!!!
Yay! This lecture needs to finish so I can watch this!
Hi guys! Thank you so much for creating these videos. I love binge watching all of them! Whenever i'm sad, depressed or even just stressed out, I come over to your channel and the world seems okay again. Thank you guys! I love you both!
2人とも大好き！！
Just finished binge watching your videos and a notification popped up and there’s a new video frm you guys 🙌🏻😍 love you guys lots 🙌🏻
nasty since 2010
I was drooling the whole time.... The food looks amazing... Thanks for the video... Xoxoxo
If I'm ever having a bad day I know I will instantly smile if I watch y'all! Thank you for your videos! Please keep smiling and enjoying life together ❤️
Seeing Simon dancing alone was hilarious xD
I do that a lot :D
Simon and Martina OMG Senpai replied 😱😭
When I went to Japan with Uni for a scholarship program we also went to a standup bar, and only because there were Australian beer, haha my teacher was like yes! yes! ~If I go to Japan again I'm going to try Japanese food (try to have a bigger budget), because it was so sad being there, all they wanted to do was eat steak, italian, indian... (like where am I? japan? no? oh okay). i literally went to fancy western restaraunts haha. spending so much just because people didn't like fish, tempura, soup... hmmmm why are you in Japan then? sorry ranting. BUT YUM , memories TT
I want to go back to Japan and visit all the places you guys have been to. The adventures you guys get to experience is inspiring. Totally love watching your vids ♥️ keep up the amazing work
Thank you for the kind words :D
You two make my days better with each upload! Thank you Martina & Simon!
I found you guys about 6 months ago! You two are so inspiring and you can tell how genuine you both are! My husband and I want to go to Japan, someday. Thank you so much for teaching me so much about the culture. Also, thank you for reminding me to build a ladder! I have PCOS(polycystic ovarian syndrome) and Hypothyroidism and struggle mentally and physically because of these two things. Thank you both for all your positive energy and keep being you! 💕💕💕
Dunno if I'll ever make it to Japan, but these food tour videos make me so happy. Partly it's the delicious looking food, and partly it's just you guys being so happy.
Love it.
hi simon! hi martina! have you guys considered doing a video about japanese convenience/grocery stores? i know the concept’s been done to death but i’d love to see your takes on what they have to offer!!! 😊
Absolutely LOVE how this is edited, the music, the effects, everything. Martina, you are effing amazing!
YOU GUYS MAKE ME SO HAPPY
Seriously you guys are the only TH-camrs I genuinely get excited about seeing a new video released.. please don't ever stop!
We'll keep making videos if you keep watching them!
Simon and Martina deal 😁
This is making me so hungry 🤤 I love these videos
I'm glad you like them :D
why I love you guys - you love food at least as much as I do. you are so expressive and could write books on how wonderful food is. I can't have friends who don't appreciate food like that.
One thing about Japan I love so much is that even when restaurants/cafes/izakayas have huge menus of various food, even the small dish in the very corner in the menu that not much people order tastes amazing.
Martina, love the lip color. So pretty! And the movie, Talladega Nights. Love you guys!
Woot for being early. Martina, love your earrings girl!
man that's so cool that you can just meet people like that and have a good time.
You guys are easily my favourite TH-camrs. Your channel is full of beautiful cinematic videos. Uhgg I just appreciate all the work you put into them! You guys truly rock.
Dear Simon and Martina,
Please bring back sexy slow motion food shots again.
Thank you
Irfan Sukeri we tried, but the fluorescent lights make for a slow motion flickering nightmare. :(
This place looks so cool!
Definitely would like to go whenever the opportunity comes up.
I'm so hungry now...
I just came back from dinner and I'm hungry now as well.
Yaaaaasssss Kichijojiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!! so excited to see more of the best part of Japan! Everything looks delicious! Off to work, but I will be listening to the radio show during my hour drive~you guys are the best company!
I always make sure to cook food and eat it while watching Simon and Martina's videos. That way I can pretend I'm enjoying their delicious meals alongside them. Also cause their videos make me hungry...Cheers!
I stop watching my favorite TV show as soon as the notification go off!Podcast and new video,spoiled!!
Oolong Tea Where can I listen to their podcast?
Oolong Tea same they have a podcast?
joakuz SBS PopAsia website, episodes are available in the iTunes Store (free) and I think there's an app!
Callia thank you!
Callia Thank you! :)
Needs more Dan...10/10 would buy merch featuring Dan w the camera
Love both of you & all your videos! :) You are so entertaining! & I'm always hungry after watching!
I love your channel so much. Im going to japan on february and your tips are amazing. Plus, best youtube channel, you guys make the world a better place. Love from Brazil !
Martina looks amaaaazing
Woo new video!
I would give ANYTHING to have one day (or two) to hang out and eat lots of food with you guys. You inspired me to eat and cook so much Korean food when you were in Korea and now I want all of the Japanese food!! Simon and Martina, you are the best.
Much love 💕
I love y'all so much!!! I'm so glad you guys are making more videos !
Those lamb chops look so good. *droooooool*
You’re making me hungry! XD
You guys are seriously amazing ❤️ you bring me so much happiness!
Martina, Simon, thanks for make my life happier!! Great smile in my face when a new video arrives. I love your videos! Past year I went to Japan and went to some places than appear in your videos. Probably top sites I ate in Japan. Muchas gracias!!😘
BTS DNA and then simon and martina wow! This is a great way to start a monday!
DaPikaPIkaBoss XD YASSSSS
You are still hungry at the end of this video?!?! What about us!! What about all of us nasties watching and drooling and suffering with our plates of boring food, or like me trying to figure out what to make for dinner and realizing it will NEVER be this. So many emotions right now.... hungry, bummed, inspired, excited.... ugh. Super cool video though!
Love watching you showing your neighborhood and surrounding areas!
Great video. You have captured the atmosphere so pretty damn well. Kichijoji is definitely on my bucket list! ちょうすごい!
Wow. I'm so hungry
Damnnn Martina, what lipstick is that? The wear time on that is amazing :00
Your videos are always so exciting and make me hungry!
Who else only watches adds for Simon and Martina because million dollar fruit?!
Is it just me or does that red lipstick make Martina look fierce?
This videos was so awesome I wish it was a full documentary like 30 mins- an hour long!!! You guys are helping me to make places to visit when I go a 3rd time to japan 😍
This has quickly become my favorite channel I have subscribed to. I’m binge watching everything.
Anyone thought about Daigon Alley???
The' Xiao Long Bao' is not called that its actual name is sheng jian bao
Jeng Hean thank you for the info! We also know someone out there will watch our video and give us the correct info :)
You guys replied! Yes I can vouch for it, the real name is sheng jian bao. Xiao Long Bao is translated as small steam plate bun or something, since it's not steamed, you can't call it a steam plate bun. Simple as that.
What isn the supposedly right way to eat it in Japan and elsewhere?
This video is just so well made! I love all the shots of the food and it's edited perfectly.
+tamalaursa thank you!
LOVING YOU GUYS ALWAYSSS
Out of curiosity, when is it okay to share one dish among a party aside from izakayas/cafes/chains? I assume it's frowned upon to order one or two dishes to share in joints/restaurants with a high volume of customers considering the population density, how busy everyone is and the value placed on time. Is sharing generally accepted any where as long as more than one dish is ordered in proportion to the party size?
'Cause I'm going to Fukuoka for three days and there's just so much to eat! There's bound to be a moment where I and 2-3 others want to try eating somewhere but will have to share 1-2 things out of fullness from a previous meal. I'm also worried I can't be the quick-in-and-out ramen eater who literally finish eating in 5 minutes. I love to relish while eating and am such a slow eater that I'm worried I may be disrespectful D:
I heard there is a delicious Oden restaurant in Kichijoji.
Martina and Simon, you guys are so beautiful as people. As a couple. If I had to look up to anyone it would be you guys. Living your lives despite the hardships. Working to inspire each other and everyone you come into reach. Love you guys!
Love these videos so much!!!
S T R O N G W I N E
Sassy Dumpling ahahahaha, this still cracks me up
Sassy Dumpling 😂😂😂😂
also question about the chip pay system, could someone hide some of the chips?
I was thinking the same thing, but it's Japan, maybe people are just too honest to hide their chips
Yes but Japanese people are pretty honest about stuff and the crime rate is really low over there
Remember after the tsunami? Absolutely no looting whatsoever. Respect and concern for others is one of Japan's highest values, which is why its society functions so well.
PQSusan SD it has to do with social/income equality. Japan has one of the highest income equality in the world and there are studies involving multiple countries showing how that lowers crime rates :)
Please don't try to equate this with socialism. Japanese social norms have been in place for centuries, even in feudal times when there was more than just a bit of income inequality. If anything, it's the Buddhist influence in Japan that has helped to shape the Japanese moral character, which is all about putting others ahead of self. And this is a question of morality, not economy. Japan has its fair share of people living in poverty, but most of them never become criminals because of their strict adherence to the social/moral code. Both my husband and I are first generation Japanese Americans with deep ties to Japan -- believe me, income has nothing to do with it.
Your guys video quality has gotten so incredible and simon has really come into his own on camera, and martina, gorgeous as ever!! im so happy for you guys c:
Your videos always brighten up my day 💖💖
Never clicked so fast
NOTIFICATION SQUAD!! :):)

Ohmygod you made my day!! ^_^ love you!!!
Your videos never fail to make me hungry and crave for deliciousness!
Honestly every time i see a notification on my side bar that you guys have a new video down, i get this tingly feeling in my stomach lol that only happens on rainy days which i love XD then get extremely excited :D Watching your videos makes me feel like im traveling with you guys and relieved all the stress i had from work today :D And i honestly cant live without your videos and bubbly personality that are so contagious :D Please never stop making amazing videos :D I really wish to meet you in real life :D
Martina is so beautiful 😭
❤❤❤❤
I added a heart to your comment.
Sending plenty of tummy touches to Spudgy!!
I've been having a tough few days, won't get into details but been really down. Thanks for the video. It helped lift my spirit even for the few minutes it lasted.
Eating dinner while watching a Simon and Martina food video = getting to eat with Simon and Martina. So much win 😁
Ikebukuro? The home of the dollars gang?
oh man i love lamb... *drools*
Have you found your Japanese friends not liking lamb? A bunch of Japanese people I know hate the taste. I don't know why. IT'S SO DELICIOUS!
It is! It might be my favorite meat. I'm begging my mom to make it for Christmas this year when I go home.
I've found that people, both from the US and Japan, either love it or hate it.
No one is ever "meh" about it.
This was super fun! Thank you!
I love waking up to your videos. I actually was watching a TL;DR FROM 5 years ago last night.
It would be awesome if you could show places that serve Halal food or Vegetarian food over in Japan! I feel that yall give a more in depth explanation than tourist websites!!
Re chuyen ma
I know that you're not vegetarian, but would you do a video on Japanese vegetarian food? I've been off meat for 5 years, (I know, poor me).
From what I understand, they have been on the hunt for good vegetarian and vegan food in Japan and so far have been unsuccessful in that they haven't been very good. So far Korea seems to have more options in that respect, I'm sure when they find a good place they'll share it with us!
If you're interested in vegetarian/vegan eating and living in Japan check out Sharla in Japan if you don't already follow her
ZombieBunnyPosse If you don't need picks specifically from Simon and Martina, you can try checking out Sharla in Japan/Sharmander. She is vegan. :)
Thank you guys so much for showing me the exact place I will be staying starting tomorrow until November 30!!! I can't wait! And now I know where to go to eat!
I would often go to Hope-ken when I lived in Kichijouji, perhaps opposite side of you. That ramen shop is a kind of ramen history.
holyshit i dont know why but a jst now realized that simon is bald am i going blind
Foooddd
but i'm faattt
Was just rewatching some of your old videos until this came out. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I'm coming back to Japan in November, I cannot wait! I loooovveee your videos!
why did u upload the food video at 11pm.... :(
Because we just finished eating and we're not hungry anymore :D
