NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Which of today's 21 items would YOU pick if you could have just one?
Welcome to the brand new Abroad in Japan studio! I didn't do a job pointing out that's where this was shot until about 22:05 into the video.
Looking forward to giving you the grand tour in a few weeks time when it's finally finished!

At least your sets not burning down this time

Hey ASO ! to Mucho HCP!!!
Where's the alcohol Chris where is it 🤣
Kind of impressed they managed to misspell every single food on that bag😂
Hambuggers
It deserves the "You Tried" star sticker
Isn't it like 5 am in Japan rn?
@@Chkprofilename stop sharing shit
@@im_sorry_i_forgot_my_username ironic how theres a translate button for English for your comment 😂
"This cheese is terrible"
He is going to take another bite, isnt he?
"But I wanna take another bite"
Never change, Chris.
Lol reminds me of steve1989
He did the same with the One Cup Sake, lol.
Lmao
just to confirm he hates it.
Glad that I wouldn't be the only one taking another bite or sip of something, making sure if I don't like it or not. XD I mean, at least me tried it.
What I like about Chris in Abroad in Japan is that he isn't just talking about an interesting subject, he's really very clever and sly about his topics, and he is both smart and well-read in general. Many other TH-camrs in general don't match up, with a lack of insight, wit, or just plain research that really shows. Well done.
Definitely agree
Is he?
@@JediFarce I don’t know if you’re saying it in a demeaning way but yes he is. It’s okay to compliment other people and say they’re smart :)
I think the film school and being one of the few popular current TH-camrs that don't have a backstory of "I happened to be a teenager with no job and nothing to do when TH-cam was just starting/getting popular and got lucky."
I really enjoy his sense of humor, and he really is great at writing. Or improv, I suppose.
As a HCP myself (Healthcare Professional) I find that bag even more hilarious 🤣
i thought cream collon was more related to work
We like Chiken and Potatos too! ❤
Ligma
Sussy
wassup susan
HOLY moly that's Mr TH-cam itself
Didn't know cancer can comment
I have a feeling Chris made this video just to talk about family mart fried chicken again
Quite possibly.
If Natsuki were booze
Chris would be family mart fried chicken
@@unculturedswine5583 wouldn't Natsuki be cigarettes though?
Well Fami Chicken is clearly the love of his life! He likes his girls crunchy and oily 😏
This guy has the most loyal fanbase ever. Probably one of the few channels on youtube that gets, in views, half of its total subscribers count.
Nice job Christ. Keep it up.
Yeah, TH-cam is the fanbase
@@sm79165 🙏 Kami Chris-Sama
@@sm79165 never thought somebody would be put to sleep by Gabber, definitely how they do it in Scotland
Usually the way it works is the more frequently you upload, the lower the amount of views compared to your subscriber count. Someone who is uploading daily should expect to have 10% of views compared to subscribers. Chris uploads less frequently so he should expect a higher percentage.
Dude thats perfectly normal, tons of channels get that viewership and more
I’d imagine marketing had to give several presentations to various higher-ups before commercial labeling was approved. Somehow, they all still agreed on Sugar Butter Sand Tree. Never change, Japan!! 🇯🇵
Chris: when I was a teacher
Garnt: I used to worked at BBC
Joey: I voiced in Pop Team Epic
Connor: before I reject my humanity and became monke
Connor: I used to work in McDonald's
Connor: So Americans
Connor: I worked at a castle.
@@carlneoh5843 I used to know another guy named Connor who worked at mcdonalds, we stopped being friends because I stopped playing games we both played.
@@yoplait3256 Connor is a common name so I'm not suprised.
The food is great but the room you're filming in just looks so insanely cozy
Cozy indeed 🌈
It's just a studio set, though. You can't actually sit in any of the furniture or put coins in the mini-arcade. It would be like biting into plastic display food.
hi pat what do you think of chris his anime version of himself he has in the back ground?
Crazy things gonna happen there, he said. Can't wait for Chris' OF ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@lucygirl1111 I think you can bite into that
*Sips one-cup sake*
"You wish you'd never been born."
*Takes another sip*
Love you Chris
I wanna see a "Journey Across Tokyo" where Chris walks us Across all of Tokyo's wards
I love the fact that Chris has a framed image of Pirate Natsuki
+without the pirate pants
Chris saying "when I was a teacher" is the equivalent of Garnt saying "when I worked at the BBC."
Chris's "When I was a teacher" emanates the same energy as Garnt's "When I worked at BBC" xD
spam musubis (which look similar to the spam onigiri in your vid) are common in Hawaii and soooo good! the spam is usually cooked in some sort of sauce (I cook it in equal amounts of shoyu, sugar, and a little sesame oil) so it's a lot more flavorful and I highly recommend trying it :)
The name of the item he bought actually said "SPAM Musubi" on the bag, though I assume Chris just thought that was the brand name or something.
@@trn8969 it’s bc SPAM is the brandname for the spiced ham they use in the musubis lol
The fact that so many years of characters, audio bites, and references were all compacted into one video made me so proud to see... in a weird kind of way. I loved this! It reminded me of how long I've been watching your videos for.
Truly is a trip down memory lane~
Same!
completely agree. i really enjoyed this video
Emma your videos are the best
It's like when you watch a video thats full of current memes, except all those memes are throwbacks to classic AiJ moments!
Didn’t expect such a wholesome ending 🥺 Happy to have been a part of the Abroad in Japan journey! Looking forward to more in the future!
How have you watched it that quickly?
Many thanks for sticking around! Looking forward to showing you around the studio ASAP!
@@3battle he prolly watched on 2x
@@xoogkage still, that's impossible because it's only been out for like 5 minutes and he would only be able to watch like 10 minutes worth
@@xoogkage He probably saw it earlier and commented as soon as he could when the video got public for everyone
I just saw that you had coffee with Ken Watanabe. All I want to say is: “For the love of all that is good in the world, stay in Japan!!” There is still so much we need to learn and see, brought to us by a hilariously sarcastic British guy and his squad of epic local accomplices.
"A hilariously sarcastic British guy and his squad of epic local accomplices" sounds like the best slice of life anime or perhaps fighting game.
they should make an exxagerated version of chris broad in japan into an anime!!! would be cool and comedy fun awesome!
They totally should xD
As a Japanese, I was laughing so hard for "adult taste" that is the only way of Japanese advertising. Your video is so funny!!
That hilarious Dr Jelly advertisement Joey did makes me want to try the products out ngl
🗿
You again
I'd use Dr. Hand Jelly for sure
Do you go to school, uni, or work? Or do you just spend all your life on youtube? Or are you just multiple people sharing an account?
Found you very early
Not to be too melancholic sounding but when I was going through some very dark times this channel always felt like a safe place to go and cheer up. Despite Chris' sarcastic dry British humor I always find your videos super positive.
Same. I feel you on that one.
Agreed. There's something comforting and timeless about Chris and his videos.
Same! I spent my honeymoon in japan, lost that relationship and missed japan, discovered chris all those years ago and hapily follow along and share his hilarious videos with my new partner. Cant wait to get back to japan once our tyranical goverment allows travel again. #freeaustralia
Same! Happy to know you seem to be on a happier path.
@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi #freeaustraila I hope your civil liberties and freedoms are returned to you. It is too beautiful of a country to not be free to enjoy it all.
Genji pies are basically "Palmeras de hojaldre" in Spain. You can get either one big one or a bag full of the mini ones which look just like that bag of Genji pies in the video, they're excellent at least the ones in Spain.
Yesss I remember buying these from the petrol stations over there. So good! CAn also buy them from Lidl here in UK when they do their Spanish food selection lol
Whether its eating snacks in a room or traveling across Japan, always love your videos! Keep up the good work!! Always looking forward to future uploads :)
Chris is making some moves! Massive congratulations on the Studio good sir. It's been wild to see your TH-cam Evolution.
Like a Slowpoke into Slowbro.
Magicarp into Gyrados
I am not sure that being compared with Slowpoke is an actual compliment 🤔
Slowbroad in Japan
He's lookin more like Munchlax in this vid
A Munchlax consumes copious amounts of food and drink and then eats sleep-inducing chocolates, evolving into Snorlax.
I think Chris is happy to have an excuse to buy a crap ton of snacks to eat 😂
It's just part of his beauty routine! He needs to keep up with his cuddliness 😊
The "genji-pies" seemed to me to be palmiers. We have those here in Portugal, either baked fresh on the cafe and more on a cake type style, or in the same small and crunchy format in bags. Big ones do taste better and make for a nice afternoon break c:
yeah in argentina we call them "palmeritas" and you can buy them at bakery's
In Mexico we call them "orejitas" (which translates to "small ears"). Pretty funny. But they're delicious!
I don't know where 'here' is for you, but in Poland we have those too and they're called 'palmiers' as well. They're just either much bigger (as of size of the palm) sold separately or cookie-sized sold in packages of 10 or so.
in germany we call them schweineohren(pig-ears)
@@lubt1529 That was my first thought too.
Those look like Schweineohren.
And now i want some :D
I've been watching you ever since the learning Kanji video. I'm so glad to see how far you've come with your content while still being your witty, clever self. Now you get to film in a room you like and your Japanese became so much better.
It's weird how Chris is the only guy who I started watching back in high school that I regularly still look forward to watching anywhere and anytime. He's such a cool dude that any video with him is a click from me.
Clearly based, you have the yukiko pfp
Definitely! I love watching his videos too. He's so down-to-earth and doesn't sugar coat something if it's a pile of tosh.
Same, I remember watching them as a senior in HS and now I'm 26
same
Chris': "When I was a teacher..." is Garnt's: "When I worked at the BBC..."
SO true 😅
i’m starting to think chris just genuinely loves one cup sake.
"It is Terrible"
*Proceeds to eat more of it*
I am very surprised that Connor isn't here for this one 😮
Now I'm Twitter Verified I no longer need him 😂
@@AbroadinJapan wow I see twitter fame has changed you 😂😂
Connor must be heartbroken
Can't give Connor good things LOL
@@AbroadinJapan Just like the US with the UK.
We got civilization now. Your services, are no longer required.
@@AbroadinJapan I got this
Collab= Views
Views= money
Money= fried chicken
I've been watching your channel and videos for a few years. I have wanted to visit Japan since I was 8. After the last few years of watching you I've decided to finally go. I'm now 30 and your videos have been the tipping point into me going!
Congrats on the anniversary for your channel, Chris. Thank you for sharing your favorite snacks with us. :)
It clearly stands for "Help Chris Please." as he can't stop eating everything Family Mart offers.
Chris, on a date?!
Donaldson was right, that's why he's brushing up on his Japanese 🤔
But Sharla speaks English…
@@TheStanHill I see I am not the only one :)
@@TheStanHill no way
A fellow podcast enjoyer 🥳
Its Shala.. she was probably there with him..
I have watched your videos for years now and it is like the second best thing to actually going there myself. Super entertaining content and I look forward to the awesome studio and future you have planned for the channel. 😁
It's been a genuine pleasure to have been a part of your journey across Japan. Can't wait to see more from you Chris and the Abraod in Japan Team. Good luck on your date man!
Chris was a pirate who died of scurvy in a past life. It explains so much.
V i t a m i n C .
😂😂😂😂🤦♀️
"Notice potatoes is spelled wrong."
Ahh yes because "chiken nuggets," is clearly just an alternative spelling of milkshake
He also didn’t see ‘hambugers’!
Oh my god, I didn't notice those mistakes. God damn it, Chris.
I went to a hotel that had "Randori" they just spelled out the katakana which was ランドリー
Along with hambuger!
Really happy for you mate! Been watching your work for the last 3 years, it's been quite a journey :)
I just finished Abroad in Japan. Now I've found this channel. and I've got a list of must-eats for my trip to Japan in February!
I couldn't stop laughing when Chris realised he had a missed opportunity at advertising with the food-box companies. He genuinely looked like it hit him, followed by the disappoint on his face lol
New Studio, Twitter verified, the parents of the Trash Taste trio love Abroad in Japan videos over their own children’s, and nearly got Ryotaro in a casket.
Chris is just straight up flexing at this point
This is the content I have been waiting for all my life. Food. Japan. Comedy. HCP. Just gold. Thank you
14:08 I tried CC lemon for the first time today. For anyone wondering, it honestly just tastes like Mountain Dew, lol, just not as super super sweet as it. I was expecting a more tart or sour lemonade flavor, but still not bad
Mountain dew would be delicious if it wasn't so darn sweet. It's overpowering.
It would be cool if there was an Abroad In Japan snack box. Chris puts his favourite Japanese snacks in the box 📦.
But it would just be a box full of fried chicken
Plus free sachets of heart and blood pressure medicine ...
Great idea !
@@animeloverXinuyasha i would buy it
Chris’s humour is the exact thing I need every weekend.
Watching this after the studio reveal video so recognized the background!
Japan really is so varied with their snacks. They will combine the weirdest things.
Also given how much drinking alcohol is part of the culture it doesn't surprise me that they have hangover cure stuff. Also the energy drinks are probably cause so many people work late hours.
Great Video Chris!
Damn Chris literally went "for fuck’s sake" while drinking the one cup sake and it brought me back to that golden classic moment in an older video with Natsuki mispronouncing "sake"
I don't think that was natsuki. It was one of his japanese friends
I think about this everyday 😂
@@joshhill6156 yes that's not natsuki.
@@joshhill6156 Omg you’re right, I remembered badly for some reason
@@Blah6384 haha no worries
I love how the only options for Chris are either coffee or concaine there's no in-between 😂
You've clearly never had a hangover if you're questioning that...sometimes you just need s kick to your senses.
Yeah tsstststs adds to the humour
Love your channel so much
dude love your channel being subscribed for a while now its awesome Cheers from Panama!
2018 Chris: I’m gonna get fit! 10k steps a day! Hey let’s cycle 2000 km through Japan!
2021 Chris: Check out all these snacks and candies I’m gonna eat!
Studio looks awesome though, looking forward to see more of it. :)
Fun fact: “libera” means “free” in Italian (the conjugation refers to feminine nouns though) and I don’t know if they intended for it to be that way, but maybe the mean to say that you can feel “free” of guilt and eat the chocolate without worrying about calories?
Why does the word "freedom" have a gender????
@@shahirraeed latin based languages be like that
A lot of languages have grammatical gender systems (with a lot of differences). For example, "bird" is masculine in French (so you would refer to it as "he" instead of "it), but feminine in Russian (="she").
"Freedom" is feminine in both, also in German, Italian and many other languages :)
@@shahirraeed I think nearly all Romance languages (aka those that have Latin as a common root like Italian, French, Spanish and Romanian) have gendered conjugation, and that’s just how the system works, in fact as a non binary myself it’s pretty hard to find a neutral way to express things since verbs, adjectives, nouns and pretty much everything else is either “masculine” or “feminine”
@@shahirraeed just a note though “freedom” is translated as “libertà” which in Italian is a feminine noun, however “free”, the adjective, exist in both feminine (“libera”) and masculine (“libero”) forms
Rewatching this because it's so much fun.
Feeling cooped up during this pandemic I love watching your videos to give me a taste of the outside world with great comedy 👍 thank you for your efforts and entertainment
I think this needs to be said. Chris isn’t fat and I’m absolutely baffled why it has been a topic now and again on the channel after so many years.
Agree 100% but you know internet … cause everyone here is perfect and have the right to judge everyone else
He's a bit chubby
According to Japanese standards he is fat
To us he thick
well he frequently used to talk about his weight and it was a significant plot device of his most popular series
I don't think he's fat either. He's just extra cuddly 🤗
0:37 The branding isn't bad HCP actually stands for high calorie products
Thank you for introducing the delicious food of Japan to the world！
thank you, this is too much fun!
H.C.P. means High Cholesterol Pickings. There you go Chris that's the abbreviation of the food inside the bag
I'm increasingly distracted by the picture of Pirate Natsuki
That's because it works...like a magic.
I was more distracted by the sound bites at the Cola Gummies and the Fossilized Cheese.

Famichiki is by far one of the biggest surprises I love introducing my friends too when they visit Japan
2:56 who needs drugs when you've got Chris and Abroad in Japan, and for that extra kick the Abroad In Japan podcast. I swear just hearing your voice, and Pete's, makes me want to live just another day longer. Being in the longest depression funk, Abroad in japan and the podcast has been maybe my one source of entertainment that fills me with happiness.
You don't know how much it has helped me during my struggles.
We're gonna make it together brahs, you're strong enough, you don't need drugs 💪💪
Genjie pie (in Form, not in Name.) is a really common baked good here in Germany, and I imagine the rest of Europe as well. We call it "pigs ear" in Germany. But they're called Palmier.
Can't wait to see your new studio! :3
Am besten hat mir tatsächlich Peter gefallen. Man merkt einfach in jeder Sekunde, wie er sich freut dabei sein zu dürfen.
I'm honestly shocked Chris actually set up his iconic manga character "big mouth" picture. Props to you Chris! Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Can we all agree that when He upload our day gets better! 💖
Yes, my vomit has a nicer color tonality after eating all that shit he advertises.
Oh gosh the fortnight spam is back again
No

On the podcast, Chris mentioned it was 7pm and he had bought snacks for a video he was about to film. This man is dedicated to entertaining his viewers, but be careful Chris! Don't eat so much before bed!
Recently found your channel and can’t get enough! Your podcast is also just as entertaining. I listen to your voice when I’m stuck in LA traffic and snack on spam musubis.
Chris: points out how “potatos” is misspelled
Also Chris: completely ignores the word _c h i k e n_
and you both ignore 'hambuger'? :p
Much like you also seem to not have noticed, the word "Hambugers" is also misspelled 😉
To be fair though, chicken is written as it sounds, "chiken", so it's understandable.
Not to mention the attention was already drawn to something ridiculous on an already hilarious product, sorta drowning out other things
@@Heylow1 Well, "potatos" is also written as it sounds...

I get the tokyo treat box every month and the one thing I'm ALWAYS excited for, without fail, is the umaibo sticks
06:02 Hats off to Chris for being a good lad and actually using a nice pic of Felix.
I remember how things started with simple vlogs and lessons teaching us tips and tricks about the Japanese language. Honestly my dream still stands, and I will be part of the JET-programme and later make a career in Japan.
Thank you for all of the years and the many years to come, Chris!
That's because you watched it yesterday.... 🤣

Excellent video, Chris. Your viewers come to this channel for the wit, the snark and to see what you’re going to eat.

The main problem with spam, is in it's 'raw' form it's a fairly flavorless blob. But if you do it like they do in Hawaii and fry it, then make musubi out of it, good stuff.
I was wondering if anyone was gonna point this out
Honestly I am glad the stuff is flavorless. It makes it easier to hide it..Though considering its sodium content I am always surprised it isn't more salty.

I swear by ウコンの力. When I drink wine, sake or Strong Zero, I tend to get a headache the next day no matter how little I drink. If I drink ウコンの力 before, 9/10 times I will not get a headache. Totally worth it. It is funny how much of a reflex it is for Japanese people to buy them when planning a night of drinking.
