  • 🕛 TODAY'S MEAL 🕛
    Shokudo (食堂, shokudō) are casual restaurants or cafeterias that serve a variety of inexpensive Japanese dishes. Many of them are mom-and-pop, hole-in-the-wall type restaurants where the locals eat. They are numerous across Japan in urban centers and on the countryside.
    **Apologies for not adding the prices. I'm currently on family business in USA.

    Today is the 7th anniversary of my fathers passing, being able to watch Eric Mealtime has really allowed me to calm my anxiety. He was a "steak and potatoes" kinda guy, and always liked to tease me when I'd eat things like sushi or anything outside the norm. Miss you, Dad!

    First let me say how sorry I am for your loss. I lost my mom 16 years and it is hard but they live on in our memories and in us. As far as the video, I appreciate how much you have to eat each time for your viewers! I do enjoy seeing all the foods and options and I hope I make it to Japan one day.

    C'mon Eric, if I can enjoy natto, you can too! I don't know how or when I acquired the taste for it, but I bought it by accident one day and immediately liked it. It wasn't what I was expecting, but I now buy it whenever it's available at my local Asian market. It sells out fast too.
    I'd enjoy the cafeteria style eatery; very casual, many options.
    Cheers from 🇨🇦

    Very cool video! Great job of showing local business support. I appreciate your attempt of eating stinky beans. It was a wonderful example showing that we should try foods that we may not think we like, and we may be surprised. As always, looking forward to the next adventure. 😊

    Aloha from Hawaii! My wife and I have been watching your videos for a year or so. We enjoy them very much. We watch several channels from Japan that feature food. I find the vending machine videos interesting. I like the family owned restaurants, where the prices are reasonable. They serve good everyday dishes. We will be leaving at the end of the month visiting my mother-in law. Mahalo for all your work on the videos.

    You can always tell when Eric is in northern Japan by the way the lights strobe in the videos ;p Northern Japan uses 50hz in its electricity grid and if your camera's shutter speeds aren't calibrated properly they'll make the lights flash as they'll be out of sync. It didn't affect how wonderful this meal was though! It looks incredible! Thank you for sharing!
