The Chicken and the Egg: Mastering Japan’s Original Comfort Food
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- Oyakodon, or chicken and eggs over rice, may be one of Japan’s simplest comfort foods, but done right, it can also be the most satisfying. Tokyo’s Tamahide restaurant has been setting the bar for oyakodon since 1891. Through eight generations of perfecting this gooey, savory dish, Tamahide keeps a strong tradition alive, and owner Konosuke Yamada intends to it pass on to his children. As customers willing to wait two hours for a bowl can tell you, here the chicken and the egg BOTH come first.

BRO WHAT?! THIS IS A DREAM COME TRUE! ❤❤❤❤
WOW YOU GUYS ARE BACK! WOOHOOO
Fact: The watery substance is not oil; it is a stock-based broth.
ohh thank you
You're welcome~~
Captain Chicken, Thanks for the info mate, I thought it was raw egg for a moment.
oh thank god, i almost say it's freakin disgusting to have that much oil on one bowl.
Min Eum oh ok thanks, I thought it looked greasy and gross but that makes it seem much better
The way that egg just sliiiides off that pan..... 👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥
Deante Green Yee boi he uses magnets at spice and that shit just sticks to the rice.
tyvek05 dont think thats all oil
tyvek05 no oil. bonito dashi based thinned sweet soy sauce
Or just simply a non-stick pan?
Adem Sofilić not everything is a non stick pan.
What immense pressure to be born into a family like that. Imagine saying "I do not want to continue the restaurant."
Haha thats what happen to me although its not a restaurant more like a job thats been passed down since 1400 years ago and im gonna be the first in 33/34 generation thats saying no to this....
I hope my parents didnt kill me..😂
I've read somewhere on the Internet that it's a valid solution for a Japanese person to adopt another adult Japanese person with an appropriate mindset into the family. The family continues, the generations continue, the bloodline wasn't ever important.
Then you end up like the chicken lol
@@perfectman9988 if you don't mind me asking... What's the job?
@@alfred3842 kinda like a teacher..
Customer: what came first? Chicken or egg?
Chef: yes
Aaron Turner the chicken cuz u gotta cook it first
It will be chicken first. because when u buy it in the supermarket, it says "chicken egg", not "egg chicken". SOLVED
apparently rice, and then chicken and egg on top ^^
Never got that saying. It was the egg. Something else would go against everything we know about anything.
chicken first. adam and eve never started as babies don’t they?
They bathe the chicken in her own children. Humans are savage.
Dionee Lee It's not like the chicken themselves are any better - they viciously devour any eggs that break, effectively cannibalising their own offspring.
I wouldn't speak so soon, some people eat drunken shrimp/scorpion, where said critter gets dunk in spirits so it's completely hammered, then the person eats them alive. I think I also read about this other dish where a fish is sliced alive so that the flesh is still on the body but in segments for easy chopsticks use and the person could eat the fish alive, but I'm pretty sure this dish was banned. Presumedly because of animal cruelty.
Humans are savage, lmao so is every parasite and predatory species on the planet.
" I will cook the innards of your children along with your cold corpses"
anythingnew Tryin real hard to be edgy
Who else is hungry seeing this?
Definitely me. It looks so simple but so tasty! :O
Of course! Japanese cuisine is probably what i consider the most balanced and best cuisine that you can get, they have such a diversity of flavors
MountainRain lol. I'm the opposite. I feel like the egg dish is ruined if it is fully cooked.
seanievortex Different ppl different taste
soft boiled eggs masterrace! :D
I have been there and tried it. Really good to be honest. A must try if you are in tokyo.
is it true you have to line up that long?
liar
matthew Ulrich you don't no be quite
english please
matthew ulrich he can go there since japan is a part of the world. And how is he a liar?
So much respect for this man and his values. It's rare to find people so dedicated to their craft and be so content
Oyakodon, one of the best tag of all time.
😳😳
The way how the egg slides into the bowl is just satisfying
The simplest dishes are often the best. That looked absolutely delicious. Would love to try some. Two hour wait be damned.
I absolutely love people who have this kind of pride in their work. They have a vision and a desire for quality over profits. Don't get me wrong, profits are great, but you can tell the difference between someone with passion for the work vs someone trying to make a buck.
Scelestus13 so true, good example "EA vs God of war 4 creators." Yea sorry
He’s not just the 8th owner, he’s the 8th generation owner which means this restaurants been around at least 150 years
Learnt to make this myself after i had it in shibuya and was craving, sooo worth it. So comforting and filling, spend an afternoon learning and you wont regret it
The greatness of this dish is in the emphasis of keeping the family together!
Yet another stop to add to the “must visit” list when I go. I LOVE oyakodon
I absolutely love these videos, but could you please put a small black outline around the subtitles so we can read them against a white background?
I agree with my husband
this is the original without the onion and springs which I can't live without.
What came first the chicken or the egg?
The japanese: nom nom nom nom
This is definitely the most fantastic and comfortable food that there is in the entire world. It's small, but filling, Sweet, but savory, solid, but gooey... This is truly the most amazing dish in human history so far.
Nah katsudon is better
@@IWantToStayAtYourHouse no
Chicken Family reunited on a bowl of rice. NICE
Love oyakodon. This restaurant you must try
食べ物は素晴らしくて美味しそうです😋
Your channel is the only place i learn things from.
It's quite good. When I went during a weekday, the wait was around 40 minutes. It was about $15-20 per bowl for what I was getting. I sat with 3 other strangers because it's not a particularly big place and they try to feed as many people as possible.
I wonder how they're doing during the pandemic. I hope they survive long enough for me to get the chance to visit.
why i watched this during fasting?
Anggit Kurniawan bukber bikin oyakodon Bosque 😂
Anggit Kurniawan It makes me depressed as well
Ramadan hard mode xD
Who the fuq still does that... it’s 2018 now
Ace Stark culture dude
The way of the oyakadon slides of the pan is satisfying 0:56
Oyakodon (親子丼), literally means "parent-and-child donburi.
That's the perfect dish name given...it makes so much sense when we need comfort food for family...
it's the perfect dish name given because you're literally eating the mother (chicken) combined in its child (egg)
This is one of the most memorable food I had in Japan. It's so good
Hope with pandemic still open 8 generations, amazing to see
Was waiting for the recipe
Whether the chicken or the egg came first, both of them taste good
Passing his vision instead of expanding the business. That's what I respect the most in term on Business.
Way to reunite the whole family
really wanted to eat this dish, but didn't get to try during my japan trip last year. but i had omurice!
0:40 Okay now zoom right into his face.
Cameraman: How much?
Producer: *yes*
this brings a new definition to 'a family meal'.
Japanese food seems so simple to make, but to make it right requires mastery. F***ing LOVE Japanese food!
I ate oyakodon with some chilli flakes, and the taste are DA BOMB. Like i really feel the heaven on earth. So delicious
In Asia, I sometimes see these kind of lines for famous restaurants.
Rather than wait 2 hours, I will glady go to another nearby restaurant and eat right away. And the food tastes 80-90% as good as the famous restaurant.
so much dumb people in the comments saying "its just egg"
I looked at the thumbnail and was like "Is it How To Basic once again ? "
Doing something simple perfectly is an art form
Man i love Japanese people, they try to perfect everything they do.
To those that admire how easily the egg slides on to the bowl bowl of rice, actually the egg is "scrambled" on the sauce, not "sauce on the egg".
You can see that for oyakodon, often they cook the sauce first before drizzling the egg mixture
Motherfucking doujins stained the 'oyakodon' in my mind forever
Which titles?
Kamalakannan A R the mother and daughter oni doujin, and the other one which its.... Mother and son (trap)
How could egg and chiken combine looks so goooooooood
こんな長い歴史があるなんて知らなかったのでびっくりしました！美味しそう、食べたいです
When a video like this plays randomly, I get caught off-guard and I still get slightly weirded out by the realization that I kinda understand Japanese now ... the lockdowns of 2020 had a strange impact 😂
Shokugeki no soma vibes
DR. Vince Yuki status
0:49 from what I know when making Oyakodon, you don't usually fully scramble the eggs like that so you can keep it's silky texture. Though if this is how they've been making them for generations, I wonder if under scrambling them is one of the newer techniques that's used. Looks amazing either way.
The velvety texture is achieved by pouring the egg mixture into the dashi instead of cooking it directly in a pan, whether mixing the yolk and white fully is just personal preference.
@@greenhat7618Correct! I worked at a donburi resteraunt in Osaka where katsu don and oyako don were our two most popular dishes, personally I find a less mixed egg really adds a nice texture and let's you enjoy the rich egg yolk and the firm white in different spots.
Everyone should try this amazing food....
Even a most basic food can be very delicious so moral of the story don't judge a book by it's cover
I visited Tamahide at Tokyo on my last visit, one of the best meal I've ever eaten, worth the wait in queue.
Is it plain rice+chicken+eggs? Any seasoning?
Well done, no branding, not a commercial for a beer company. Nice.
Wow.. Keeping tradition and family business is amazing!
Only men of culture knows what real oyakodon is ... 😏
True...but like the name implies, why can't we have both?
Food?? What food ?? All I see is gold
my favorite genre
2 hours for scrambled eggs?
I read book ikigai, when he said I dont focus on profit and money but skill and cooking food. That thought blew me
Wow, until death the mother and son are still bonding 😮
I like how Japanese are so precise even with something like a fried egg.
Some very admirable traits in Japanese society.
the japanese calling this “mother and child bowl”
Everyone: chicken and eggs
Me: mamas get cooked with their children
Japan is such an awesome country. I would love to visit sometime, yet I would never want to live or work there.
Now that's special, he cares more about his family's legacy and customers than money.
They even cared about the arrangement of the onion chives! The dedication of these people to their is mind-boggling.
This dish is a vegan's worst nightmare.
thegreatcalvinio or perhaps a nice serving of foie gras
Vegans are my worst nightmare
Can’t ppl just make this at home?
Tiffany Vi well if you lazy like me,just go to restaurants.
This type of thing may seem easy but mastering it would be quite hard.
Yes, but this one is unbelievable.
Idk why i like watching this over and over again
Watched this two years ago :, 0 came back anyone??2019!!
this looks so simple, yet so good
Mother and child reunion.
I bought bodycon dresses on Asos hours ago and now I feel like this is what's happiness in life all about
It's such a simple dish and yet it looks amazing to eat
Oh yes Oyakodon. My favorite genre. Ahhh NH
Yup. 10/10 this looks great
We call this Kaki Fuyong. And we love it.
A family as a meal, nice
i love that he says "tamahide's oyakodon" at the beginning. kinda hint-ing that it's not something *only* belong/entitled to tamahide region(city?). as all foods are, no one actually owns any specific kind of food (concept)
Tamahide is a clan name xdddd, and it does technically belong to them since the Tamahide's originally made it. Belong but not "own"
@@thepruh1151 nah, food belongs to my belly lol
Chicken and eggs are an awesome combination to eat.
Oyakodon is literary my childhood food
This guys restaurant is Amazing!
I used to weed ork for a Sushi chef this along with grilled mackerel were my favorite family meals he cooked at the end of the night good stuff
8 generations wow!
The good side of tradition in Japan
Going to check my local japanese places and see if any serves this.
I like how Japanese eat. Their food is not so complicated, just simple and classic plain food but look very appetite.
they put the dead kid and parent together to eat thats so fucking metal oh my god
welp... people keep saying 'it's bathing the mother in its own child' but bruh, as someone that lives in japan it's a comfort food. like, true, it may sound gross or weird to you guys but it isn't weird for us. I don't understand how y'all minds can think of something like that the moment you see it. I've been here for a large portion of my life and I still haven't come across that thought once even though it's all over the streets and in japanese restaurants? I don't eat this dish as often as people usually do, but I see it almost everyday and it's not that weird. some dishes from other countries might sound weird to us as well but we can't just ruin it for them.
I wish this video was longer !
Wow....so i been eating this Japanese culture food for a long time.....my mom always make me this for lunch
It looks really good
i wanna make that to! it looks so yummy!
Surprisingly that I ate there once and I'm able to replica the recipes. It doesn't taste the same perhaps because of the atmosphere but it's 90%
Looks watery.
