I’ve been to Germany several times and speak the language to a certain degree. I could never live there, I’d end up huge because the food is so good and tasty
So true. When I came here I weighted 45 kgs and within ten years I weighted 90 kgs at 166cm. I went back to eating more föd but that which I grew up eating and within six months to 65 kgs which is a healthy weight because I was definitely under weight at 45 kgs.
Höchst wahrscheinlich weil es etwas türkisches zu essen ist. Ja das erste Döner gab es in Deutschland aber er hat die typischen deutschen Gerichte probiert was verständlich ist 😊
Sorry to tell you this but its not as German as you think. This guy lives in the Netherlands and in the Netherlands we have just as much döner if not more. We even have a street in my city. Its called the Amsterdamse straatweg and like 90% is döner shops. Nobody knows how they survive. Sinds its like 2km long (.Probably al criminals).
Germany has had some natural springs that produce carbonated water known since roman times. This natural sparkling water is much less carbonated than commercial sparkling water and often contains greater amounts of minerals, making it slightly salty. Sparkling water was perceived as healthy in the past because it is more resistant to going bad. Even in roman times some of the natural springs were praised for their health-benefits. It was less available since it could only be consumed directly from the spring mostly by wealth people on holiday. The strongly carbonated water began to be available in the 19th century with pressure resistant glass bottles and machines for carbonating the spring water artificially (adding that perceived premium effect).
Incidentally the first carbonated water exported predates glass bottles and was exported in clay pots from Germany to the UK and other places. Selters - which's brand name has become synonymous with carbonated water in many places of the world due to it being the first internationally advertised and exported carbonated water
Ihr Deutschen habt schon immer eure Scheisse versucht in die ganze Welt zu bringen. Egal ob sparkling Water oder euer schlechtes Essen. Ihr wollt es einfach nicht lernen, dass euch die anderen Kulturen soo viel weiter sind.
Man i loved that Vid, as a German my Heart just goes nuts when i see ppl from "Outside" trying these things and liking them and stuff, im a huge Fan of the Japanese Culture and the ppl, so Double win for me Seeing you here throwing around with good Vibes, your such an delight Person! Loved it!
Finally you’re in my home country. Glad you enjoyed our delicious food. Your guide was really nice with a contagious laugh 😅❤️. You should visit Hamburg. It’s beautiful
Glad you liked our food - and i'm not a big fan of sparkling water either ^ If you come back one day, you HAVE to try mettbrötchen! its a staple for breakfast here ^^
First impression validated. As a french in germany, I think they drink even more sparkling water than beer ... Here you can notice the big diffence with US. germans put a very sausage in a small bread, when americans put a small sausage in a lot of bread ... I like the german way, the purpose of bread is avoid burning your fingers, focus on the sausage ... There are quite a few other things in german food. doesn´t get its full credit. You should try some things from south germany like kasespatzle, it is quite different. or try the fish brotchen from the coast, even the green cabage from the north is interesting. bremer Knip is also something, it is way better than it looks like ... And all the types of german bread, pretty impressive actually and usually quite good.
@@yukarimurasaki Those two dishes are different things. Not everything breaded and fried is the same you know. Also it just tells me you haven‘t eaten higher end Schnitzel before. The variance in how good Schnitzel can be is immensely big.
@@yukarimurasaki bad tontatsu is like bad schnizel... bad good tonkatsu is like good schnitzel... good i wwouldnt eat tonkatsu with potato salad and cranberry jam, i wouldnt eat schnitzl with rice....
I tried a Vienna Schnitzel once in a Restaurant it tasted sooooo Amazing. But if i need to choose i would prefer the Schnitzel we make at Home. It takes a while but its good
I found the difference in the sizes of the beer glasses amazing. Did you manage to drink all the beer without feeling drunk, George? 😆 Btw, I loved the Rengoku scene. ❤🔥
germans dont really get drunk from those big glasses, they mostly get drunk at parties with family but almost never at restaurants or bars. this is some crzay stuff over here in germany!
I mean I live in NRW but I think you got me wrong, I ment it more like we eat it a lot but if you go into a restaurant you dont see everyone eating stuff like that
In my family we mostly drink tap water (which is very clean in Germany). Only if we drink fruit juices we use sparkling water to mix it. And a Brezel is best when it still is a bit warm from the oven and you eat it with fresh cold butter. Personally I always remove the salt on the outside, but my wife loves it with the salt. Also the best ones can be found in southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria).
@@GeorgeJapan As a West German child I went to the cinema in 1973 and watched Japanese Godzilla films, my son then watched all the old Godzilla films on video in the 90s and we remained fans. I like your video. All the best from Berlin.
A few years ago we had a university student from Japan live at our place for a few months. My mom hoped for him to show a few japanese recipes to her but all he ate were frankfurter sausages and continued to stay in his room 😂
Love your positive energy and your lighthearted personality! If you visit Germany again I can highly recommend to try a Döner in Berlin (German version of the kebab plate inside a bread). If you want really good traditional German Food I highly recommend to go to South Germany, those dishes are way better there than in Berlin, beer (especially in Bavaria), Brezel (especially in Württemberg), and Haxen, Schnitzel etc (in Bavaria). If you visit Munich you have to try the restaurant "Steinheil 16", amazing big Schnitzel and great beer! I wish you great and save travels!
For Curry-Wurst (Curry Sausage) you have to go to more famous places in Berlin, like "Curry 36" or "Konnopke's" - there are really big differences in quality to the shop you went to. As you said - you have to come back again!
@@GeorgeJapanmake sure to go to the "bratpfanne" too at "schlossstraße"! It is a really old curry sausage shop that has been a family business since the start! They make great curry sausages and add a lot of curry powder to their ketchup! They might not be the standard tourist spot but there is always a line of waiting people, so good is it!
@@GeorgeJapan Tastes great, while Germany, Austria and Switzerland are (to my knowledge) the only countries selling it you can just mix it yourself so I highly recommend trying it 👍
there is much more to discover, like in every country there are regional specialties... and I don't like sparkling water either ;-) regards from Germany
German food is also very seasonal. E.g. we have the Asparagus season upcoming in which the whole country will be feasting on white asparagus in all manners of preparations for a couple of weeks
It was good to see you post a video, it's been a little while since we've heard from you. Hope you're feeling well. I was wondering if maybe you've been a bit homesick lately? Perfectly normal if you are. How fun would it be to have a good friend from home join you for a week or two? Sure hope to see you more often George, have fun and enjoy your adventures! 🥰
I try an explanation, why Germans love sparkling water: When you love beer, you will recognize that fresh - not only cold but also freshly drafted - beer is the best. The carbonation is a criteria for freshness. For us: carbonation means "fresh". In Germany we love all kinds of soda, beer and carbonated water. Countries that prefer wine as France or Italy will have an other attitude to this.
0:32 And that was just "medium" sparkling water... not even the worst one. PS: I am german, and dont drink that stuff since 20 years. Dont know why it is so popular :3 And no, it doesnt taste better at all.
Thee reason why sparkling water is so popular in supermarkets is because our tap water is usually not only safe to drink but also very high quality and delicious, so if we want plain water, we go to the tap.
really enjoyed your video. has a great vibe and some information I myself as a german didn't know. I was also at the Hofbräuhaus at my 2 week stay in Berlin. I really like the flair in there and also great food
So delicious 😋 ,nice vlog ✨👍🏻 you enjoy so much there 🤩 and your English is so good . When I'm trying to speak in English I always forget to use the main things 😅
Hilarious. When I visited our local Asian supermarket last month, I ordered at the food court chicken tonkatsu...and I swear, it was even bigger than the schnitzel you were eating here. I wondered if they pounded out a whole chicken to make it, it was that huge.
Their small beer reminds me of the small pop/soda in North America🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Their small is like the XXXL in other places. I don't like beer, but I'd give that lemon soda and beer combo a try! The schnitzel and the eisbein looked great! Thanks for the video :)
Depends on the region and beer type. This while being in Berlin was a specifically Bavarian beer hall and the southerners usually drink very large beers (usually 0,5-1l) whereas where I live in the west the usual glass size is 0,2l (due to the small size you get put new beer in front of you without ordering until you put the little carton thing it stands on on top)
Love Radler with Grapefruit juice. Love German food when I was there some years ago - everywhere we went there was white asparagus. everywhere. It was very good - everything was very good but I missed out!! I didn't get the sausage, and I missed the currewurst! Lucky you!! New coat?
1:18 in my opinion if u drink the medium sparkling water(you have bought)and it is not cold, its don´t taste like good. I only drink classic/normal(not less carbonated) sparkling water or still water. But only the classic sparkling water taste good for me.
I think its very german to say that i like watching videos of People visiting Germany and trying the food just to know what they think about it / us xdd
St Pellegrino , best water!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ I used to hate sparkling water when I was a kid but honestly.. its so much more refreshing and I dont need to gulp in half the bottle to end my thirst. its way more efficient.
If it is a common food in Germany, prepared, eaten and enjoyed there, then it is a German food. It's called Viennese Schnitzel, when it is made of veal. In the video they had a porc schnitzel which would be called Schnitzel ala Viennese style at it best, often just Schnitzel and serve with a lemon. If it is served with a fried egg sunny side up it is called a Hamburg Schnitzel; with cremy mushroom sause it is a Jägerschnitzel. There are also chicken schnitzel, turkey schnitzel or even cauliflower schnitzel or other vegan schnitzel. I don't know what the urge for Austrians is, to write a similar comment under every single schnitzel related video? It is like saying pasta is not an Italian food, because noodles originated in China. Apropos Italy ... the oldest records for a fried breaded flat piece of meat are from Italy ... so saying schnitzel originated in Austria isn't true either.
If you are interested, apart from the Umlaute and the fact, that we can make other syllables, the German pronunciation isn't that different to the Japanese one. For example, if you pronounce Guten Appetit like グ テン アッペ チツ you aren't that far off, I mean it gets a bit wonky at the "チツ " part, but it's close enough.
I am quite sure that Currywurst is not the most popular street food in Germany. Currywurst is more a Berlin thing. My guess for the most popular street food in Germany would be Kebab.
Ehhh i dunno man. Currywurst in like any festival where as döner is not. So I suppose it depends on your idea of street food. But also any town likely has two things a döner place and a currywust place (aside from a Lidl lmao).
Actually you are wrong . Currywurst, especially with french fries and Mayonnaise, or short "CPM"(Currywurst Pommes Mayo) is very popular everywhere. If anything it is less popular in Berlin then elsewhere.
Stumbled across this video and I enjoyed it very much, so I subscribed. Born and raised nearby Frankfurt am Main I had to try to pronounce the Japanese word for Frankfurter Würstchen and now I have to detangle my tongue. Personally I´ve never seen a sweet Bretzel in Germany. The saltiness goes very well with beer and even Apfelwein (kind of cider). The german equivalent to salty nuts usually served at bars.
there are also smaller pretzel snacks available covert with sweet chocolate. Usually, sweet pretzels are not common, because creating the typical brown crust already involves dipping the dough into a salty brine.
5:23 i think he said "ist nich schlimm" "its no problem"(the camera) he had a full mouth,but i think thats the most fitting accent mouth full and context wise
plain water tastes so stale, i always go for carbonated water. that someone wouldnt like carbonated water is the weirdest thing i heard in a long time lol
Next time visit Bavaria, it's like the "typical German" for foreigners. Although all parts (N,E,S,W) are different, I think you still got good experience what germans eat :)
I have a question regarding the katakana at 3:55 You say you call the sausage "furankufuruto soseji" but the katakana read only fu-ra-n-ku-ru-to so-se-ji. Was this just a subtitle error or was the second "fu" left out on purpose for some reason? Glad to hear you like german food, especially Schnitzel. But is the Currywurst really the most popular street food? I would have expected Döner to take that spot. Have you tried Döner? O:
It is always nice to see how positively the Japanese, English and Americans react to Germany. Unfortunately, many foreigners still think badly of us, especially China who think we are war makers and Canadians who also think so. Not even Israel thinks of us in the same way, and Israel and the Jewish world population is the part that has suffered the most from Germany. Of course it should not forbid the anger of the people. But I would generally wish that there are more people like you, who come from a different country of a different culture but openly oppose us. I wish you that you meet a lot of hospitality and have a nice time in Germany.
German food look amazingly good, I mean fries, beers.... Yeah remind me my country hahaha 😂😂😂 glad to see another video of you George, greetings from Belgium.
Mit dem Eisbein das wusste ich gar nicht. Also das die Bezeichnung daher kommt, weil man früher die Knochen zum Eislaufen benutzt hat. Wieder was gelernt. Dankeschön 👍✌
Hmmm…that big sausage on the crusty bread made my mouth water 🤤 German food looks delicious. I think I would get drunk in Germany 🤪 I would try all the 🍺🍺🍺 bye 👋 see you in the next video 😊
Berlin currywurst is my favourite german food. My German friend makes it, but she tells me I _have_ to try it in Berlin! One day I will visit but no sparkling water for me either 🤢🤣
0:54 I would say, it's sparkling, not unbelievable. There must be a reason that soft drinks like Coca Cola has sparkling water, because initially they were prepared in bars, clubs, restaurants and so it seems, that sparkling water must have been a thing, when it was usual to offer this and to use it with the cola base.
Great video! Berlin is one of the cities I'd like to visit before I get too old! Eating German food is much the same eating English food, they're both very bland and need a lot of sauces(mustard, etc) to taste the food!
There are some german dishes you only can find when you come to Frankfurt City. For example your Frankfurter Würstchen but also Grüne Soße, its a specialty green herb cream sauce with eggs and its often served with potatoes and a slice of cooked beef. You shoud try this out one day :) Greetings from germany frankfurt city ^^
well german tab water is so good that you dont have to buy water if you dont want to ... that makes the sparkeling thing a selling argument ... and another thing is healthy mineral water is a thing here or better it was a thing ... alot of those wells have natural carbonation so you can market your water as healthy when you add sparkels to it (this happened like 100 years ago)

Radler was so easy to drink and tasted so good🍺
Depends on the region and beer type. This while being in Berlin was a specifically Bavarian beer hall and the southerners usually drink very large beers (usually 0,5-1l) whereas where I live in the west the usual glass size is 0,2l (due to the small size you get put new beer in front of you without ordering until you put the little carton thing it stands on on top)
Beer and lemon soda is basically shandy. Easy to make, just mix an ale with a Sprite or 7up. Don't use pilsner beers.
I as a German don't like sparkling water. I ever have the feeling that my stomach will explode If I drink that stuff.

If you are interested, apart from the Umlaute and the fact, that we can make other syllables, the German pronunciation isn't that different to the Japanese one. For example, if you pronounce
Guten Appetit like グ テン アッペ チツ you aren't that far off, I mean it gets a bit wonky at the "チツ " part, but it's close enough.
グーテン・アッペティットのほうがいいと思う。
@@DoitsujinNihongo Yeah, maybe that's better, but be that as it may, the point still stands.
It's always a joy to see non-germans visit our country and try around.
I am quite sure that Currywurst is not the most popular street food in Germany. Currywurst is more a Berlin thing. My guess for the most popular street food in Germany would be Kebab.
Döner actually was a Berlin thing too. And both are German wide very popular although Döner is even more consumed
Ah their Kebab was also very good!😋
Ehhh i dunno man. Currywurst in like any festival where as döner is not. So I suppose it depends on your idea of street food. But also any town likely has two things a döner place and a currywust place (aside from a Lidl lmao).
Actually you are wrong . Currywurst, especially with french fries and Mayonnaise, or short "CPM"(Currywurst Pommes Mayo) is very popular everywhere.
If anything it is less popular in Berlin then elsewhere.
Currywurst is NOT only a Berlin thing.
Stumbled across this video and I enjoyed it very much, so I subscribed.
Born and raised nearby Frankfurt am Main I had to try to pronounce the Japanese word for Frankfurter Würstchen and now I have to detangle my tongue.
Personally I´ve never seen a sweet Bretzel in Germany. The saltiness goes very well with beer and even Apfelwein (kind of cider). The german equivalent to salty nuts usually served at bars.
there are also smaller pretzel snacks available covert with sweet chocolate.
Usually, sweet pretzels are not common, because creating the typical brown crust already involves dipping the dough into a salty brine.
5:23 i think he said "ist nich schlimm" "its no problem"(the camera)
he had a full mouth,but i think thats the most fitting accent mouth full and context wise
Love that you visited Spandau 😄 must be an interesting first experience
A little tip with the water, light blue/green caps is lightly carbonated. Red caps is fully carbonated and dark blue caps are normal mineral water
plain water tastes so stale, i always go for carbonated water. that someone wouldnt like carbonated water is the weirdest thing i heard in a long time lol
If you drink normal water ice cold it tastes heavenly
😂
@@Fiwek23452 cannot agree. it just hurts in the mouth. carbonated water is always the way to go
Die Altstadt kommt mir doch bekannt vor 🤔 Cool, dass ihr in Spandau wart.
Hofpfisterei is a Bavarian bakery, in Berlin you can find much things from other regions.
Love your personality!!! Love video!!
Next time visit Bavaria, it's like the "typical German" for foreigners. Although all parts (N,E,S,W) are different, I think you still got good experience what germans eat :)
bruh the first 3 sec already got me laughing 😂😂😂😂😂
It was the other way around for me, such a hassle to buy the sparkling water in konbinis, the only once they have are the ones for macking coktails
I have a question regarding the katakana at 3:55
You say you call the sausage "furankufuruto soseji" but the katakana read only fu-ra-n-ku-ru-to so-se-ji.
Was this just a subtitle error or was the second "fu" left out on purpose for some reason?
Glad to hear you like german food, especially Schnitzel. But is the Currywurst really the most popular street food? I would have expected Döner to take that spot. Have you tried Döner? O:
A pretzel is actually a Bavarian type of bread and you bought it in a Hofpfisterei shop which is at home in Munich!
Love your videos! Safe travels! :D
It is always nice to see how positively the Japanese, English and Americans react to Germany. Unfortunately, many foreigners still think badly of us, especially China who think we are war makers and Canadians who also think so.
Not even Israel thinks of us in the same way, and Israel and the Jewish world population is the part that has suffered the most from Germany. Of course it should not forbid the anger of the people. But I would generally wish that there are more people like you, who come from a different country of a different culture but openly oppose us. I wish you that you meet a lot of hospitality and have a nice time in Germany.
"Guten Tag"
"Guten Tag"
"Yup"😂
Haha, it's pretty funny seeing so many bavarian themed Restaurants in Berlin.
German food look amazingly good, I mean fries, beers.... Yeah remind me my country hahaha 😂😂😂
glad to see another video of you George, greetings from Belgium.
Yeah a bit similar but different! Haha
You'd be disappointed by the fries, Belgian fries are so much better than what you usually get in Germany.
Nah you got us beat at Belgian fries, there isn't even a competition
Mit dem Eisbein das wusste ich gar nicht. Also das die Bezeichnung daher kommt, weil man früher die Knochen zum Eislaufen benutzt hat.
Wieder was gelernt. Dankeschön 👍✌
Now go to Bavaria and try the food THERE! The traditional Bavarian food is the best Germany has to offer
I can't believe you went to Berlin and didn't eat a döner! It's basically a crime! 😂
Hmmm…that big sausage on the crusty bread made my mouth water 🤤 German food looks delicious. I think I would get drunk in Germany 🤪 I would try all the 🍺🍺🍺 bye 👋 see you in the next video 😊
Their sausage and beer are truly amazing 🇩🇪
Hi, George. Its Nice to see german good. I have enjoyed too and its taste good. :)
Berlin currywurst is my favourite german food. My German friend makes it, but she tells me I _have_ to try it in Berlin! One day I will visit but no sparkling water for me either 🤢🤣
I look forward to seeing you in Vienna in July 23!
0:54 I would say, it's sparkling, not unbelievable.
There must be a reason that soft drinks like Coca Cola has sparkling water, because initially they were prepared in bars, clubs, restaurants and so it seems, that sparkling water must have been a thing, when it was usual to offer this and to use it with the cola base.
You should visit mexico, like mexico city ...or Quintana roo ..cancun ..playa del carmen tulum. And try the mexican food there !
on your first day you are in berlin spandau thats the altstadt (old town ) 😁😁
Além de tudo, os vídeos são sempre muito divertidos😊
Thank you for watching!🇩🇪
Berlin is a fantastic city I have been going there for the last 28 years 🍻ich liebe Berlin
良い一日を！/ Haben Sie einen schönen Tag! - Have a great day! Greetings from Sweden ☺
It´s so charming when you try to speak german.^^
2:40 Also what did you say about Peach? xD
The first day and the take of the summery in the end you have not been in Berlin you have been in Spandau. Ask your friend what is the difference😀
Glad to see you on your travels. I hope the recent transit strikes are not causing problems for you.
Luckily, it’s not causing any problems for me :)
Take me to Japan George, I want to go to Japan since years and try everything there
the attempt of saying "sauerkraut" was too good xD but yeah, difficult language :)
Great video! Berlin is one of the cities I'd like to visit before I get too old! Eating German food is much the same eating English food, they're both very bland and need a lot of sauces(mustard, etc) to taste the food!
That's true if your tongue is numbed by chili
There are some german dishes you only can find when you come to Frankfurt City. For example your Frankfurter Würstchen but also Grüne Soße, its a specialty green herb cream sauce with eggs and its often served with potatoes and a slice of cooked beef. You shoud try this out one day :) Greetings from germany frankfurt city ^^
7:58 is me reading to the class and a word I don't know comes up so I just skip it 🤣
😂
well german tab water is so good that you dont have to buy water if you dont want to ... that makes the sparkeling thing a selling argument ... and another thing is healthy mineral water is a thing here or better it was a thing ... alot of those wells have natural carbonation so you can market your water as healthy when you add sparkels to it (this happened like 100 years ago)
Selters (sparkling water) is good. I thought that is very common in the world.
Dont forget to try a "Fischbrötchen"/Fsich roll in the nothern part of germany next time ;)
