Eels in Asian cuisine are amazing, so I'm always confused when my non-Asian friends find them disgusting. But now I know why after seeing a picture of the traditional English eel...
In germany smoked eel is a staple of northern cuisine, also eel soup. The main problem here is that eel is overfished and harder and harder to get. European eel population has collapsed to 2% of what it was in the 70's.
On our honeymoon, my wife and I went to a ryokan in Hakone and were served raw pheasant, sashimi-style. To this day, it is one of the top three most delicious meals I have ever eaten. Ponzu sauce was an excellent accompaniment, as well.
+Abroadin Japan our former japanese professor, Mr. Yamaguchi, had brought back nori flavoured candy. For the life of me, I can't remember the brand, all I can remember is the package, plastic bag with lots of shodo-like writing on it. It was the wierdest thing I ate that posed as candy. Isn't candy supposed to be sweet? I love nori, but only on onigiri. It isn't exactly a delight when used as a poor substitute for candy. Have you ever eaten that?
+Abroadin Japan I got a bit freaked out by staying in a Japanese hotel and going to a million course dinner where they served chirimen? At first you think it's some ground dried bits but when you look closer you see that each bit has tiny black eyes... blah :S #askabroad
+Abroadin Japan Some of my favorite foods are foods people find bizarre. Jellyfish, cow's tongue, snail, and spinach (I never understood that one as to why it is strange)
+Aqua Rius We have this oriental supermarkt here in the Netherlands and they do sell these odd candies and snacks as well. Bought shrimp chips/crisps one day, didn't like it. I do love most salty snacks though but the green tea flavours can be really great too.

(and I didn't get any wierd disease with it, yay). but man. the nori candy is vile. we used to have Daiso here too. I love the wrappings, but the snacks...they are healthy, but bland. what I really look forward to, my husband and I decided to go on vacation to Japan, maybe next year, and I really really really want to try the whole array of odd flavoured KitKats.

Horse meat and eel are actually pretty common ingredients in Italy, there's a dish called "anguilla in umido" which is eel cooked with tomato and other seasonings and it's mouth watering, a really must try in Italy

I’ve been to Japan many times and ate everything and loved all kind of food. There was only once, a particular dish I definitely didn’t like… but I forgot what it was 😂
I've been watching your videos since I woke up this morning..... probably watched all of ur videos.... just sort of watching bits and bobs I missed.... am I sad? I find you so funny ♡
I watch your videos most mornings while I'm still waking up forcing coco pops down me .... You very funny and entertaining , not to mention informative for somone who wants to visit Jason , your awesoem : )
I live in Italy (Europe) and here horse meat is an everyday dish. Probably more than Japan. Of course we don't eat it raw but there's a million ways to make a horse steak. And for me it's the best meat you could choose for a delicious stake. Also have a look at "sfilacci". Best thing ever and probably you ate it on pasta already without even knowing, if you went to Italy.
Tried the raw chicken earlier this week at an Izakaya in Osaka. I never thought I would say this but I liked it! We also ate heart, stomach, throat and some other unthinkable parts.
Hey Chris, I've watched a lot TH-camr's videos and I don't usually leave Andy comments but I got to say, I love yours the most. Very entertaining and also contentful. I've stayed in London for 4 years and is now a bit regret not ever tried the jellied eel before I left UK. Hope one day you'll travel to Taiwan and make some videos, as we have tons of authentic food. Cheers
I used to live and study in Japan, and when I was new there we went to an izakaya. And my company (who was Japanese) asked if I liked taco. "Taco? Yeah, sure - I like taco". "Let's order it" they said. What we got on the plate (or rather, in a bowl) was not tacos, but something bright meaty slimy stuff. That's how I learned that "tako" is Japanese for octopus... And in this case raw. I really like squid and octopus, but can't really recommend it raw.
Japanese fruit jelly deserts from supermarket are amazing, not only they taste wonderful but the amount and quality of fruit are unbelievable, most importantly they are cheap.
That is indeed a very specific map, showing European borders after dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 21, 1991, but before dissolution of the ČSFR on December 31, 1992
I loved especially Sakuraniku when I ate it. The Nankotsu also broke my bloody teeth as well but I did enjoy the flavor of it. So far I've loved everything I've eaten in Japan with the exception of Nattō and Umeboshi. :p
I LOVE natto, been a favorite since I was a kid. I'd like to see you try some Chris. I also LOVE "tamago no gohan" raw egg and shoyu over hot rice. Chris, please try some Funazushi, and Kusaya and let us know how much you enjoyed it. Both are on my bucket list. YUM!
I agree. But natto is something you have to grow with it to like it. The word, fermented, itself might offend the people. And raw eggs can be a put-off for non-Japanese, too, I am afraid. (Some people are worrying about salmonella to death.) By the way, I am from Shiga prefecture, and do love Funa-zushi. My grandmother used to get a barrel of it every year and give some to each of us. (Oh, good old days.) I prefer the female for their eggs, but my American husband likes the male fish.
Your videos are hilarious! I laughed so hard my brother came in to see what was so damn funny....I showed him a couple of your videos and he was cracking up right along with me! 2 new fans!!!
I haven't eaten anything weird in Japan yet, but I had grilled donkey in China. It tasted like ass. And I mean that as both a pun, and also because it was awful.
***** i never eat it. but my nose kind a used to it since so many my place also have a lot of fermented too. probably i will try soon. maybe some of big stores have it here.
Once in Roppongi Hills I was walking around neighbourhood I found this restaurant that was having this "local place for local people" feeling to it. Of course I went in. It was filled with old people eating stuff that I couldn't recognize. From the many things I was served this one jelly like grey/brown cube really imprinted itself on my memory. I had really hard time chewing it down while all old folks was checking that could I do it. Later I was told it was some sort of fermented potato and it was popular some time after the war.
Dam I'm hungry now. Hey Chris - I understand that In Japan the Ramen is different depending on the region of Japan you are in. Maybe you could add some info to one of your future videos.
Back home where I live (Eastern Québec) near the Saint Lawrence, there's a lil village nearby (in a Canadian point of view) known for its traditional eel fishing. Back when I lived there, I tried it, smoked eel. AMAZING. We've been told 90% of them were shipped to countries like Japan. A treasure at home completely missed out on!
4 foods out thousands of meals. Japans cuisine has really so much to offer. I dont know how weird, unique or interesting it is but... theres one type of meat I really fell in love with at Japanese Yakiniku restaurants. The Japanese also eat offal, which I dont like thaaat much (because you usually have to chew a lot). But theres one ホルモン (horumon (offal, organ meat)) which I reeaally like: Its called ハラミ (harami), which is meat cut from the diaphragm (of a cow). Maybe sounds a bit weird, but I really like it and think it just tastes great
Thank you for mentioning! Horumonn-yaki was born not to waste anything. (And , of course, for the people who could not afford the regular meats.) There has been a slaughter house near my work place, and around it there are many Horumonn-yaki stands/shops.
It is videos like this that have me so enthusiastic about visiting Japan and trying as many culinary dishes as I can get my hands on. I feel like food is a great way to really soak in the culture and the fat boy that lives in this skinny body is salivating over the thought. My mother always told me to not knock it till you try it. Chris when I visit Japan in the near future lets hit up some raw uterus haha. I don't sub to many, but you sir have earned my Sub.
So you could make racist jokes on them...? Why would he make a video that would make Japan feel weird, when still many people think that way all ready.
+Mad eye studios why do you assume i would make racist jokes? there's got to be some things that a foreigner finds annoying culturally, beeing new in japan. nothing racist about that. seems to me you're just waiting to call someone a racist. I don't think japanese people are weird. but maybe you do..!?
+texla I will help you out here bud. I was once hanging with a friend who had traveled to Japan. We were out and about and some dude was chewing gum very loudly, mouth wide open slobbering all over the place. I had mentioned how much i hate when people do that. He tells me that in Japan most people do this. Because it is a sign that the food is tasty or something along those lines. Still though...annoying nonetheless.
In Sweden, horse meat is found in most grocery stores, mostly as cold cuts. Eel is also considered a delicacy here, not to mention lamprey, or alien nightmare eel (unofficial name). Seriously, google lamprey. You won’t regret it. We eat them. Yep.
I paused the video right at the beginning at 0:00 the moment I clicked on it, as I had to go to the loo first. It looks like you're about to sneeze, Chris.
I love your channel. I'm coming up on my 1 year Japanniversary. I love Japan. So much. I just tried basashi a couple of weeks ago and loved it.

鰻は旨いですよねー。鰻を卵で巻いた「うまき」とかも旨いですよー。「うどん」も日本ではポピュラーなメニューですが、各地方によって、スープの味や麺の固さ、載せる具材も違うんで、面白いですよ。安いしね。
The only food in Japan I would like to try is you big boy xxx
+Captain Cab lmao
+Captain Cab :P
+Captain Cab The level of cannibalism is high here.
+Captain Cab technically he would be british food. Just saying.
Kate Howat Haha, I know it's not! But sometime's looking a something in another way can make it more interesting, or funny in this case.
God I laughed way too much at the dog telling you to order issues! hahaha
Watching this video while laughing my head off: the ad beneath is... Findus! 😂😂 #horsemeateverywhere
ブロッサムをブロッシヤムって発音してるのを「しゃくら」と和訳しているのが可愛い😆
The “most interesting food” I’ve tried from Japan was squid jerky. It’s surprisingly not bad :)
Back home where I live (Eastern Québec) near the Saint Lawrence, there's a lil village nearby (in a Canadian point of view) known for its traditional eel fishing. Back when I lived there, I tried it, smoked eel. AMAZING. We've been told 90% of them were shipped to countries like Japan. A treasure at home completely missed out on!
The moment when I am trying to watch a video and I get distracted by my love of your accent! XD
4 foods out thousands of meals. Japans cuisine has really so much to offer.
I dont know how weird, unique or interesting it is but... theres one type of meat I really fell in love with at Japanese Yakiniku restaurants. The Japanese also eat offal, which I dont like thaaat much (because you usually have to chew a lot). But theres one ホルモン (horumon (offal, organ meat)) which I reeaally like: Its called ハラミ (harami), which is meat cut from the diaphragm (of a cow). Maybe sounds a bit weird, but I really like it and think it just tastes great
+Lukas Mihara i'm a big fan of harami as well, such a tasty piece of meat enhanced by binchotan flames.
Thank you for mentioning! Horumonn-yaki was born not to waste anything. (And , of course, for the people who could not afford the regular meats.) There has been a slaughter house near my work place, and around it there are many Horumonn-yaki stands/shops.
軟骨そんな固いか！？wwwおもしろい意見
You are amazingly funny and informative.
Thank you for making me think and making me laugh.
i eat unagi all the time here in the US. i llloooooove it
Nice videos! I think this channel would be big!
When I lived in japan, A friend of mine made me eat raw sea cucumber. This was like eating snot.
I didn't know that horse meet was so prevalent in Japan. Learn something new everyday.
I'm trying to figure out a clever raw uterus joke.
"Have uteried uterus?"
+StarReel "Uterus is bloody disgusting"
+XBGJDKE oh my god xDD
+KoivuKarhu uterie it and uterus if its good
I love your humor!
フライドチキンと唐揚げは
違う料理！！！
It is videos like this that have me so enthusiastic about visiting Japan and trying as many culinary dishes as I can get my hands on. I feel like food is a great way to really soak in the culture and the fat boy that lives in this skinny body is salivating over the thought. My mother always told me to not knock it till you try it. Chris when I visit Japan in the near future lets hit up some raw uterus haha. I don't sub to many, but you sir have earned my Sub.
This video has aged glorious!!!
"never talking much about food......"
I’ve never had eel, but I might try it now due to this video! Thanks 😊 I’ll
i'd love a video about all the things that you find annoying in japan (about people's behavior, cultural things etc.)
So you could make racist jokes on them...? Why would he make a video that would make Japan feel weird, when still many people think that way all ready.
+Mad eye studios
why do you assume i would make racist jokes?
there's got to be some things that a foreigner finds annoying culturally, beeing new in japan.
nothing racist about that. seems to me you're just waiting to call someone a racist.
I don't think japanese people are weird. but maybe you do..!?
+texla I will help you out here bud. I was once hanging with a friend who had traveled to Japan. We were out and about and some dude was chewing gum very loudly, mouth wide open slobbering all over the place.
I had mentioned how much i hate when people do that.
He tells me that in Japan most people do this. Because it is a sign that the food is tasty or something along those lines.
Still though...annoying nonetheless.
+TheBaconnater thx, that's what i meant. these little cultural differences / habits that sometimes seem annoying/strange to foreigners.
+texla there's enough of those video's in youtube...
In Sweden, horse meat is found in most grocery stores, mostly as cold cuts. Eel is also considered a delicacy here, not to mention lamprey, or alien nightmare eel (unofficial name). Seriously, google lamprey. You won’t regret it. We eat them. Yep.
イギリスでは鰻が捕れるのに何故だれもイギリスに行って鰻屋をやろうと思わないんだろう？
絶対成功すると思うのにｗｗ
d- dish 鰻の質がちがうんですよ

唯一"日本の郷土料理である"という点を生かして興味を持って来店したお客さんの胃袋を掴めばワンチャン…？
yutadd
ん〜まだまだ課題は多い…
@@kanoko_
そうなんですよね...
海外あるあるですね😭
日本料理屋としてなら一発あるかもね。専門店にしようと思ったらかなり難しい
My husband is obsessed with grilled eel :) (Japanese style)
I can understand his obsession very well.
卵かけご飯 日本に来たら、是非試してほしい。
一番手軽な奇妙な料理だね。
鶏の生肉より安全だしね。あとフグも紹介してほしかったな。
I paused the video right at the beginning at 0:00 the moment I clicked on it, as I had to go to the loo first. It looks like you're about to sneeze, Chris.
逆にうなぎのゼリー寄せってどんな味なんやろ
イギリスの料理番組で見たが、
ぶつ切りで煮込みゼリー寄せだから、
まず見た目が不味そうだった
ねいとーさん 見た目通りの味
臭い 不味い キモいの三拍子
食べ物という概念に喧嘩売ってる
ボロクソで草
We would always get fried chicken cartilage whenever we would go to Tebasaki no Yamachan. Delish!
鹿児島と宮崎以外で鳥刺し食べるのはおすすめしない
安全の基準と新鮮さが違いすぎる
いやいやその辺でも食うなよ。ギランバレーになっても知らんぞ。
@@KT-pt7eh 美味しいから大丈夫だよ
普通の居酒屋とかじゃなくてちょっとお高いとこ行けばどこも上手いよ
調べたら分かる事だけど鶏刺しに安全基準なんてないよ。新鮮だから安心安全なんて事も全くないし
なな
残念ながら鳥刺しは新鮮だから安全って訳じゃないんだ
そりゃ新鮮に越したことはないけどね
I love your channel. I'm coming up on my 1 year Japanniversary. I love Japan. So much. I just tried basashi a couple of weeks ago and loved it. Let me know if you ever want to meet up, eat food and drink of course. I'm starting up my travel blog and always love to hang with others who appreciate Japan. Cheers.
