I’m a new subscriber (randomly found your lucky bags video when I was watching people’s lucky bag hauls) and I’ve been binge watching your vending machine videos! I’m going to Japan for the second time later this year, taking my parents for their first trip! My dad’s name is also Eric and we’re foodies (along with my older sister) so I really love seeing you with your sons! Looking forward to my upcoming trip and sharing Japanese cuisine with my family including a vending machine snack or meal here or there!
Hahahaha, the new tops from the lucky bags! Love it and get some! I love the breakfast cereal pillow. Loved it when I saw you open it in the other vid.
I feel old watching Mega grow up! These are always some of my fave videos every year! All my kiddo talks about is traveling to Japan/Korea/China to try all the stuff he sees on my fave youtube channels, lol. He loves the lucky bag videos & bentos especially! The New Year's boxes floored him. :-) We eish y'all the best!
🖖 Hi Eric & MegaBrain! Always interesting to see supermarket items, but especially nice to see the Crab - the best I've eaten is the Red King Crab from Hokkaido 🦀. Also, seeing you make Highballs with Nikka Black Whiskey, brings the retro vibes - slightly sweet and easy to drink. Cheers! 🙂👍
@fly-boy-fisherman i like it too. Here in the bay area crab costs a lot but I have liked imitation for a while. I am so sure Japan's imitation crab 🦀 is much better than ours...
🦀 yum! King crab legs. YES, Please! 🍽 MUCH better than fake crab legs made with a paste of pollack white fish. 😁👍❤ A bit of FYI.... Mont Blanc is a type of dessert made with a concoction of sweetened chestnut puree. In ice cream, they add the chestnut puree to the ice cream mix as it's being made.😉
@@eatlikealocalI eat mostly imitation crab here in the US . Just stated how its made. Quality fish ingredients can change taste and texture a bit I am sure. 😃 I am low income and real crab legs are a bit more than my budget allows, so when I have the opportunity for the real deal, it's a welcome treat.❤
Love the new fits from the lucky bags. All the food looks amazing and really making me want to come visit Japan. I hope yall have a happy new year and a very prosperous new year. Can’t wait for another year of great videos
Happy New Year ES6! It’s officially been 5 years since I found you during Covid and what a ride it has been! Absolutely incredible watching you and your channel grow but not only that, but seeing your kids grow as well. It has always been truly inspiring watching you and here’s to many more years! 🎉❤
Oh yeah more new years vids /happy new year Eric mega and chef !!😊I've always wondered sometimes you can hear the chef watching tv in background /what's the chef watching ??
That crab is crazy value for the amount that you got, I'd happily take that any day! Discounted food in Japan makes discounted food I've had anywhere else look like... well, discounted food! That looked amazing, I'm going to hunt for some of that when I'm next able to come visit!!
The Japanese government heavily subsidizes food and beverage production to promote lower consumer prices. While discount selling prices may be lower, the ingredients and preparation methods are not necessarily low grade. This allows food to be produced at consistent quality across different price points.
@@restaurantman they don't have a choice since Japan has been in a stagnation since the 90s. The price look good to Americans because it is 157 yen to 1 USD. In the past 3 years the yen lost 50% of its value. Japan is having bad inflation right now.
That’s an awesome deal on king crab and I was jealous because I love crab. The “lucky bags” seem like a real fun time to go get them and the excitement of opening them to see what’s In them. Keep up the awesome videos. As always I’m hungry now after watching your video.
Great deal on the crab legs and the whole meal looks delicious. You know how to do it take a little swig when you need to warm up the American way. LOL
That crab looked so good. Happy new years Eric and Mega and Chef! I have watched all of your videos and I thoroughly enjoy them and they help me learn about Japan and the culture and food, and you are one of my favorite channels on anything I watch content on. I am currently sick as a dog with a 102.5F fever and your videos are helping me to relax. Thank you for all you do!
Happy New Year!! May this one bring you, Mega, and Chef even more joy than the last!! Thank you for making my days brighter for MANY years now!! I used to have crab every year for the holidays as well. We love you guys. ❤❤❤
My family is also split on the real vs. fake crab debate. Personally, I think there's no substitute for the real thing when it comes to eating it on its own with butter and lemon, but when it comes to using it as an ingredient, I really do prefer the fake stuff. The flavor of the real thing always seems to completely overwhelm the flavors of the rest of the ingredients.
Hi guys and chef!!! We just binge watched the new years big bento,lucky bag and this video. Sweet trio it was U both look good in ur new clothing and I love chefs cook wate bag
Great video Eric and mega they definitely know how to make fried food. And those crab legs looked delicious and very affordable. Keep up the great work
Not sure how soon you guys choose to receive a gift snack pack. But I just watched this video. Another fun one as usual. I have been watching for the past few years now. I will try and commit sooner on the next 6 out of 6 video 😊
The Dream Team! Best Father-son duo I have seen online

@Anshu311 this is very true 👍

@BethDoublekickChick Happy New Year to you too!! 🎊🎆 And thank you for your kind words!
@restaurantman Thankyou 😁
@@BethDoublekickChickHas your son returned from his visit to Japan? 🗾
That crab looked amazing, I cant even begin to imagine how big those crabs were !.
They are so fortunate and lucky. Very nice, enjoyable. Getting yummy treats is so much fun! Sieze the day! 🎉
Imitation Crab Meat rocks, way to go Mega. 😋
Japan is the home of Kanikama (faux crab), and there are several grades - with some considered high quality.
@fly-boy-fisherman i like it too. Here in the bay area crab costs a lot but I have liked imitation for a while. I am so sure Japan's imitation crab 🦀 is much better than ours...
I enjoy the fun you two have in the videos. I am with Mega on the crab. The shopping video was a lot of fun too.

Fun episode! Eric, your enthusiasm for things is contagious. I always look forward to Saturdays to watch you guys. Keep it up!
The dessert and the crab looked delicious. I would like to try them.
I remember a time where supermarkets around here had food discounts. Been quite a while since I saw a sale.
Those tops really suit you both, especially Mega's Under Armour 👕
Love it. Getting right into it! Discount food Happy New Year guys!
