Thanks for making this separate channel. I’ve been traveling vicariously through your channel with your main channel. I’m also a foodie and super excited to see all the food each region offers. Can’t wait to visit when the pandemic subside soon (I’m from the US)
'Oh deer'..LOL!!! The deep fried momiji manjyu with custard looks so delicious!! The okonomiyaki looks interesting. I've never been to Japan, so like others, I live vicariously through your videos...love them! I'm amazed at the amount of food you can eat!!!
Ahh, all that food looks so good! It's pancake day here in the UK this Tuesday. I have noodles and such in the house, and veggies. I think I'll have a go at making my own sort-of Okonomiyaki instead of the usual pancakes :D
Haha I am in UK & I am def gonna try the Okonomiyaki as a savoury style pancake dinner...but still having original pancakes for dessert.. :P Breakfast is also pancakes with honey, lemon, fresh fruit, nutella haha tomorrow everything pancake :D
I can’t have it because I’m allergic to wheat & eggs, but I have considered making it for the kids who love vegetables, especially cabbage and broccoli. One of them absolutely loves sprouts! Which really amuses the dinner ladies at school 😂 He’ll have seconds, but just the veg, no mash, chips, rice etc. They love fruit too. You might be able to remember when goodie two shoes Jamie Oliver campaigned about school dinner. When I was teaching you could tell the kids who ate well at home, they’d tuck into shepherd’s pie for example. While the kids who were just fed crap at home would take a bit more encouragement. Now I think most kids, even older ones now are just used to it. He tried similar in the us…didn’t go down well. They were using packed mashed potatoes 🤢They said they couldn’t give 12 year olds a knife & fork because they would cut themselves 😂 You could ride from Scotland across the ferry right down to Dover & crossing to Calais bare bottomed on a school knife 😂 My ex mom in law omg 🤦🏼♀️ I sat with them in restaurants, gawped at because I asked for a knife, even worse asking for chopsticks in a Chinese restaurant! I was cooking at she tried getting me to use frozen broccoli…I do sometimes freeze it myself instead of wasting it, but it tends to go in stews or something. She asked if I knew how to prepare it & cook it. She was used to having cooking instructions on frozen stuff. Then…she tried with the smash type mash 🤢 it has its’ uses, that wasn’t the day for it. Now…ready for this….as I picked up a bag of spuds…did I have a recipe for flipping mashed spuds! When I made a proper cheese sauce for them not the glowing orange out of a box macaroni cheese they looked doubtful, but ate it…they didn’t know it could be made like that 🤦🏼♀️ my ex preferred frozen crap and ready meals to real, home cooked meals. You know those revolting rizzlers or something similar burgers for the microwave, he loved them 🤮
I say goodie two shoes because he just used to cook, then he got paid a lot of money to push healthy stuff. That’s great, but when people looked up his old recipes they had something like 15 teaspoons of sugar in a milkshake
If you’re not already sponsored by the Japan tourist board, then you should be! Covid ruined my plans to travel to Asia, but I look forward to visiting some day - please keep posting these great videos, you have a great way of making us feel like we’re travelling with you 👍
I'll take six helpings of the sweet plate from the breakfast buffet! Waffles, apple pie AND ice cream?!? Sounds like the perfect breakfast to me! Thanks for another awesome video STJ!
It’s a great idea to showcase the regional food specialties. We, the foreigners have no knowledge of the diversity of food in Japan. This is very interesting for an armchair tourist like myself.
Oh deer 🤣 one of my favorite the okonomiyaki.... the momiji manjyu custard looks delicious and the custard is thick. And also the apple pie looks delicious... By the way, congrats on your new channel... 😊b
I liked eating it off the grill. Stayed warm and made the sauce sizzle as I cut into it. But I had it in that building where thats all they serve is this at every food stall
The best okonomiyaki I've ever had was in Hiroshima. So delicious and cheap. I want to go back to Hiroshima just for the okonomiyaki but it is a fantastic place anyway.
The hotel room looked very nice, as well as the view and they serve a nice breakfast . . . the price was right. The Okonomiyaki with cheese was enough for two . . . don't know where you put it all.
My first trip to Japan decades ago included visits to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Hiroshima. Hiroshima okonomiyaki was my favorite food of the trip. Looks delicious, of course.
The very first time I went to Japan, I stayed two days at Miyajima. I recognise all the places you went. I had oysters for the first time. I stayed at Kikunoya and had Japanese food the entire time. I still remember. Then I went to Hiroshima, so I did it backwards. Haha.
I’m a huge fan of Hiroshima dry tan tan noodle, my favorite is King-ken. I always go to King-ken in Hondoori when in Hiroshima, and now you can have it in Tokyo and some other cities too. The spiciness and numbness are perfect 👍
Solo Travel Japan/Food Tour, the amazing man with the never ending appetite and a bottomless stomach! Come one, come all, watch him eat and be amazed! Where does it all go?😊. Thanks for your great humor filled videos, and also for sharing with us every time what each dish is. Traveling with you is always great fun!
I keep coming back to this video (probably because of the okonomiyaki). STJ, you are such a great storyteller. The way you present, it just flows smoothly. Hope this channel grows, as with your main channel.
Everything looked so good! I’ve never tried okonomiyaki for some reason, but it’s always something I’ve wanted to try, so I hope to one day! Even your breakfast looked amazing! What, no curry?! 😂 Oh deer, I don’t know how you do it (eat so much), but thank you for sharing your travel and food adventures with your viewers! Keep up the good work!
I love you, STJ. These videos are a way to live and travel vicariously through your camera lens. I'm hoping to go to Japan via a TEFL job once I finish college. Slowly trying to learn Japanese as well.
Wow! Food is relatively cheap compared to here in America with prices continually going up. Not only that, but it seems really delicious and bigger in portions over time as compared to getting smaller along with the more expensive prices.
I had I had some sort of pancake with cabbage and stuff in Osaka, but it was very small, folded in half, and sold from a stall close to our hotel. It was nice, but probably not as nice as those. I used to stop and get two every time we went back to the hotel. They were very moreish.
The second Okonomiyaki with cheese is unique to me . I never heard of Japanese food having cheese in anything . It must the the changing times. but it looks delicious
When you found all those closed shops i was wondering If you had been cursed by some food god who didn't like you at the moment since you didn't get to eat anything on the travelchannel today. 😁 i always need to eat something while watching your content. This time icecream.
Where do you put all that food? I have a very healthy appetite and a lot bigger than you and I would be struggling!. Thank you for all the information it helps make Japanese cuisine a great deal more approachable
I'm getting hungry for okonomiuyakie now and looking for spots in my town (Los Angeles) that serve it thanks to you!! Holy moly!! That breakfast you had would pass for my dinner and next day's lunch!! 😱Coffee jelly? Not sure about that one. That view out the window for breakfast though is awesome. How was the apple pie ?
Those cakes looks delish!! Nice room, perfect for solo traveller :) Noodles looked great! Okonomyaki with cheese.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, minus the seaweed :D I would swap the pork with other veg & beansprouts & cooked egg! haha I am always shocked by the amount & what you get for breakfast in Japan.. amazingly different to the UK. It would be breakfast & lunch for me :P Fab video. Thank you for your time!
This version of Okonmiyaki is very different than what I am used to seeing, using the very watery white batter to hold everything together with the squid flakes on top. This one seems to use eggs for the top and bottom. At first I though they were tortillas.
I think that watery one is called monjayaki (sp?) and never gets really solid like a pancake, it becomes more like a gravy. The 2 main types of okonomiyaki include this Hiroshima version and the Osaka version, which has a thicker pancake batter to hold everything together. I’m no expert on eating these, I’ve just seen dozens of videos about the different types. Oh and the flakes on top that you’ve seen aren’t squid, it’s tuna that’s been dried until it’s almost wood-like and shaved..katsuobushi or bonito flakes. (Sorry this got so long! 😊)
Yeah, I'm also used to a different one where the batter is mixed with the cabbage before frying. Also haven't ever had noodles inside either. I don't think I had okonomiyaki when I was in Japan ages ago. I've only had it outside of Japan. That may be why.
I LOVE going to Hiroshima. I liked the new Ekie last time I went. But for the okonomiyaki, I love going to Benbe 弁兵 In 大手町 Close to 袋町駅（Of the streetcar), I'm not sure if it's a good place but I really liked it when I went, twice ! Hiroshima okonomiyaki is the best type :)
It's almost midnight and I'm drooling. Though in real life, I wouldn't eat most of these dishes, everything you were eating looked so delicious!!! 😋 I wonder how I would do, as a vegan in japan. I'm sure it's possible to find tasty nourishing vegan food in Japan, by planning ahead... Thank you for your vids, they are truly remarkable!
At 6:22 it looked like a little dragon face with his eyes closed. The pancake thing did not look good. It was a mess. lol Your room is nice and a great view. Nice Video. 👍 Love traveling and eating with you. ✌❤🤘
The okonomiyaki looks interesting! It is different from the okonomiyaki we get here. The one here doesn't have noodles in it. Is that the special way they make it in Hiroshima? Or is the kind we get here not made correctly?
You may have had Osaka style Okonomiyaki, where most of the ingredients are mixed into the batter. The Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki has layered ingredients and typically contains noodles.
Thanks for making this separate channel. I’ve been traveling vicariously through your channel with your main channel. I’m also a foodie and super excited to see all the food each region offers. Can’t wait to visit when the pandemic subside soon (I’m from the US)

6:52 That customerr is inDEARing the long wait for service
めっちゃ食べるやん
広島焼美味しいよねぇ
4 words our boy STJ lives for...'all you can eat'
4 words from us all watching...'you ate how much?' :D
"I'm getting hungry"
Really? I'm glad you told me because it wasn't obvious from the fourteen bowls of food in front of you or anything like that.
When the tourists return, consider opening a tour guide agency. With your vast knowledge and experience, you should enjoy a great success.

I would be full with 1/5 of that food, but it is nice to watch all that dishes. Every time I feel like making these dishes in my kitchen 😩😋
It’s a great idea to showcase the regional food specialties. We, the foreigners have no knowledge of the diversity of food in Japan. This is very interesting for an armchair tourist like myself.
"oh deer" 😂😂😂 I want to try okonomiyaki and the maple shaped cake someday 😉👍
Ooohhh a ♥️ thank you solo travel Japan it really made my day ☺️

Oh deer 🤣 one of my favorite the okonomiyaki.... the momiji manjyu custard looks delicious and the custard is thick. And also the apple pie looks delicious...

It's sad to see everything closed, but with the limited travel right now it makes sense
I liked eating it off the grill. Stayed warm and made the sauce sizzle as I cut into it. But I had it in that building where thats all they serve is this at every food stall
Oh.... That breakfast again. Woww.
You are a connoisseur. Always a treat to enjoy your adventures
I missed Japan - Okonomiyaki and beer.
The best okonomiyaki I've ever had was in Hiroshima. So delicious and cheap. I want to go back to Hiroshima just for the okonomiyaki but it is a fantastic place anyway.
This brings back memories of travelling to Hiroshima.
Wow what a lay out of food , that all looked awesome, again thanks for showing us. Im jealous everything looked yummy!
The hotel room looked very nice, as well as the view and they serve a nice breakfast . . . the price was right. The Okonomiyaki with cheese was enough for two . . . don't know where you put it all.
Food looks tasty and enough for three people.
Wow all that looks good can't wait for next video.
My first trip to Japan decades ago included visits to Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Hiroshima. Hiroshima okonomiyaki was my favorite food of the trip. Looks delicious, of course.
Miyajima island -“Oh deer” Hahaha!!
I love this channel!
great video~! relaxing
"Oh deer!" what a nice video!
My bucket list for Japan is getting longer and longer...
The very first time I went to Japan, I stayed two days at Miyajima. I recognise all the places you went. I had oysters for the first time. I stayed at Kikunoya and had Japanese food the entire time. I still remember. Then I went to Hiroshima, so I did it backwards. Haha.
The food looked amazing, as always! So much that I got hungry, so I'll go find myself a snack now.
Yes, I remember having the momiji manjyu on Miyajima. I brought back a souvenir package for my co-workers (USA) in 2010.
I'm enjoying this new channel, in addition to your original channel.
I really enjoy both your channels and I also enjoy your subtle humour. Thanks for the tour, everything looked so delicious!
I’m a huge fan of Hiroshima dry tan tan noodle, my favorite is King-ken. I always go to King-ken in Hondoori when in Hiroshima, and now you can have it in Tokyo and some other cities too. The spiciness and numbness are perfect 👍
Wow that second okonomiyaki... I would have a 100% happy fat life if I could buy that in my town 🤣🥰

Thanks for your kind words.
this video is amazing!!!
Everything looked so good! I’ve never tried okonomiyaki for some reason, but it’s always something I’ve wanted to try, so I hope to one day! Even your breakfast looked amazing! What, no curry?! 😂
Oh deer, I don’t know how you do it (eat so much), but thank you for sharing your travel and food adventures with your viewers! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for taking us along!
Once again, thank you for sharing. I love watching your videos and seeing the country that you live in it’s so beautiful.
I love you, STJ. These videos are a way to live and travel vicariously through your camera lens. I'm hoping to go to Japan via a TEFL job once I finish college. Slowly trying to learn Japanese as well.
Put it on when you go to sleep that's how I'm learning
Making me so hungry......
I sometimes make okonomiyaki and everyone loves it
Love both your channels. Thanks so much. The food videos always make me so hungry!!
Awesome food videos as always, and I try not to watch them when hungry lol. Again enquiring minds want to know...where do you put all that FOOD lol?
Another huge breakfast. How do you stay fit? The walking, no doubt.
OMG, okonomiyaki is the best! Fond memories!
Every time I visit Hiroshima, I'm going to HAVE to have a serving of okonomiyaki 😋😋😋
I am enjoying your videos. I thought I've subscribed before but apparently not. Good l found your channel. Lovely food. Thank you.
Wow, okonomiyaki looks so good!
I am just drooling over this delicious looking food!
That was great Solo 👍 And you still ended up on a ferry! 😆
The breakfast looks great.
wowwww so many delicious food!!! yummy!
Wow! Food is relatively cheap compared to here in America with prices continually going up. Not only that, but it seems really delicious and bigger in portions over time as compared to getting smaller along with the more expensive prices.
Suggestion for your next Hiroshima trip. Film the different stalls in Okonomimura and show the differences. They are all wonderful.
I had I had some sort of pancake with cabbage and stuff in Osaka, but it was very small, folded in half, and sold from a stall close to our hotel. It was nice, but probably not as nice as those. I used to stop and get two every time we went back to the hotel. They were very moreish.
Yumm this looks really good !!! Great choices !!
Such an awesome video! The food looked delicious. I want to try okonomiyaki!
Great video as always! That breakfast buffet looked so good!
The second Okonomiyaki with cheese is unique to me . I never heard of Japanese food having cheese in anything . It must the the changing times. but it looks delicious

When you found all those closed shops i was wondering If you had been cursed by some food god who didn't like you at the moment since you didn't get to eat anything on the travelchannel today. 😁 i always need to eat something while watching your content. This time icecream.
I’m all about trying new things, but I don’t know if I could get myself to try those tiny fish. Everything else looked amazing.
Wow great video, only problem is I get hungry watching
The Okonomiyaki looks delicious. Was there no curry for breakfast? That always seems like a good choice to eat.
There wasn’t. Thanks for watching
Where do you put all that food? I have a very healthy appetite and a lot bigger than you and I would be struggling!. Thank you for all the information it helps make Japanese cuisine a great deal more approachable
Living the dream ✨

I think I'll try okonomiyaki with cheese when I can :)
Wonderful!!! Did you learn why so many shops were closed on the island??
6:51 "WHY ARE ALL THE SHOPS CLOSED?? HELLO?! I WANT TO GET MY NAILS DONE!"
That looked delicious! I think Okonomiyaki for Shrove Tuesday is a wonderful idea!
Sir, you are very funny. 😹😸
I LOVE going to Hiroshima. I liked the new Ekie last time I went. But for the okonomiyaki, I love going to Benbe 弁兵 In 大手町 Close to 袋町駅（Of the streetcar), I'm not sure if it's a good place but I really liked it when I went, twice ! Hiroshima okonomiyaki is the best type :)

I’m a vegetarian but don’t eat milk (lactose intolerant) and rarely eat eggs so I am on the same boat as you! 😅
Mmmmm delicious!
At 6:22 it looked like a little dragon face with his eyes closed.
The pancake thing did not look good. It was a mess. lol
Your room is nice and a great view.
Nice Video. 👍
Love traveling and eating with you.
✌❤🤘
That look so good can you mail some to me(😂)
Great video! Great food! Which site do you go to for those cheap hotels? Thanks!
Yay!
"oh deer..." 😅
Yummy 😋
Wait, how was the coffee jelly? I've never seen that before! Was it good?
It was just ok for me. Thanks for watching
The okonomiyaki looks interesting! It is different from the okonomiyaki we get here. The one here doesn't have noodles in it. Is that the special way they make it in Hiroshima? Or is the kind we get here not made correctly?
You may have had Osaka style Okonomiyaki, where most of the ingredients are mixed into the batter. The Hiroshima style Okonomiyaki has layered ingredients and typically contains noodles.
I remember having Osaka style okonomiyaki and you had to make it yourself, is that typical for Osaka style or did I just go to a weird restaurant? 😋
That's representative of the Osaka style Okonomiyaki.
