Big thank you to Ryotaro for helping me celebrate reaching over 130,000 subscribers (although it was still around 120,000 when we filmed this video!) Sorry about the knock-out though!
Glad you knocked him out in the end 🤣. Your laid back and friendly attitude easily explains why you made that 120k in third of the time. Keep the mood up champ!
The awkward moment when Champs Kitchen has more subs than Ryotaro in a quarter of the time 😂 (I'd better watch out). The Okonomiyaki looked absurdly good!
As a substitute for the yam I've landed on a combination of tapioca flour, which has a lot of mucilaginous fiber which is what makes the yam so slimey, baking powder, to replace the air that's added when you grate it, and a bit more water to make sure the batter isn't too dry
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen That's actually not a bad Idea. I'd definitely watch that. Edit: Chris doesn't even have to help cooking, it's enough if he tries it.
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen Yeah! I really like the part that you make adjustment to make it more healthier. It makes me being able to eat delicious food meanwhile losing body fat 😆
Eee! This looks great! I love sending these videos to my father, because he's a lot like you in the kitchen and it's nice to have something like this to talk about, since I just moved several hours away. Thank you!
I've had this once at a Japanese shop here in the Netherlands and it was sooooo good and I'm totally in love with the taste! Definitely going to make this! Also, Ryotaro seems to be everywhere! XD
There’s also a teppanyaki place in Amstelveen that does seriously good Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki, both in Osaka style and Hiroshima style. Look up Ichii Amstelveen. 👍
I love all the healthy recipes on this Channel. They look very tasty too! But my favorite part of all the videos is the end where Champ washes dishes after the meal. It feels therapeutic. Calm.
I’ve seen countless recipe videos for popular Japanese dishes over the years on TH-cam and I gotta say I really really really enjoy and appreciate the energy and overall quality of your videos, Champ! It’s such a feel-good and informative experience that is topped off with a calming clip of washing dishes after a yummy meal which is rewarding/satisfying in its own way and is super relatable. I also don’t feel as guilty eating my favorite Japanese meals with your healthier options. 😂 Especially tonkatsu. Congratulations on your current milestone and I hope to continue to see your channel grow over many years! Omedetou-gozaimasu!
Awesome video! One of my favourite memories on my second trip to Japan was walking into a very small local restaurant where an older woman was clearly the one in charge and having her daughter assist on a very busy night. We were in Miyajima and got served an absolutely amazing Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki. Since then, we have been making it at home as well.
Tried making okonamiyaki recently and from other recipes I've read, adding baking powder makes it fluffy. So, if you can't find the yam like I can't, try it with the baking powder hack, it works.
This looks AMAZING! Cannot wait to try it! I just love your channel. You present your recipes in a way that makes them so simple and easy to follow. Thank you Champ!!!
This channel is so charming. I love Japanese food, I also boxed long ago. What I love most about the videos is the washing of dishes in the credits. I hate doing dishes, but this makes it easier for me to think of it as relaxing, instead.
I just found your channel last week and subscribed immediately. I absolutely love your videos. I love Japanese cooking and your enthusiasm makes your videos so much fun to watch. And what a crazy coincidence! I’ve been watching Abroad in Japan for years and love Ryotaro as well as his new channel. I got so excited when I saw he was featured in this video! It would be so much fun if you did a cooking tutorial with Chris from Abroad in Japan! He could really use one. He’s always going on about how poor his cooking skills are. Microwaving cup ramen is about the extent of Chris’ culinary skills.
I'm just eating this now after trying to make it for the first time. It turned our all right I think. I'm full, but I can't stop eating, it is just so good.
Ryosuke is such a great guy... at this point I just watch his videos because I feel so at home he deserves so much more attention best cooking channel on youtube
I usually use a premade flour mix, coleslaw mix (so there is also little strings of carrot and some red cabbage), and I like to cut up bacon to stir into the batter as well.
champ thanks for knocking him out, he deserved it for putting that Mayonaise on there. THIS IS CHAMPS JAPANESE KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm very happy to know about this channel! It appeared in my timeline just yesterday and I watched almost all the videos in a row! Fantastic chef! Greetings from Brazil!
I love the energy and positive vibe of your channel. Also your food is easy to make and has ingredients you can easily find. Congrats on 120k my man. Keep cooking and making these banging videos for us.
I prefer Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, but all of it is good. Every style, every topping - it's just out of control how delicious a dish it is. God bless Japanese comfort food! (also Ryotaro is TOTALLY correct: okonomiyaki *needs* kewpie mayo.)
I learned how to make okonomiyaki earlier this year, after enjoying it in Japan many times. My wife gets a stomachache from eggs, so I made it without egg. It worked just as well. I make my own sauce and kewpie-style mayonnaise. It's easy.
I was introduced to okonomiyaki by a coworker who brought some to work about 5 years ago and I’ve been obsessed ever since. Your version looks delicious and 100% needs mayo! No healthy eater here
It's true about the lid! It seemed natural to do this, and cook everything well, but the texture of the pancake was very soft, almost "melted"! I tried again, and turned the heat up at the end to make it brown and crispy on the outside.... THEN I thought: "I should watch that video again, I"m just guessing". Maybe tomorrow I'll go find a piece of that mountain yam! You can buy it here (Florida, USA)
This recipe is fantastic, but I gotta say I like Hiroshimayaki more. It's probably just because I had a wonderful experience visiting Hiroshima, and that was capped off with some good Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki after a long, rewarding day sightseeing on Miyajima.
YOU DID OKONOMIYAKI?! Thank you so much! I loved the video and it was great seeing Ryotaro here as well. LOVED the "Player 2" in the animated intro. Keep up the great videos!!
Actually made this tonight (no mochi or Japanese yam) pretty tasty it tastes very similar to what I had previously purchased as a microwave meal from the Asian grocery (though I missed the chew of the mochi that the store one has) at first I was unsure about the sauce mix it seemed to wochester for me but actually on the pancake it was quite good! Will make this again.
This was fun to watch ! It's nice to see fellow TH-camrs appear in another channel. I've always wondered about how okonomiyaki tastes with Japanese mayonnaise. Thankfully, we have several Japanese markets here in Vegas.
Even though okonomiyaki is a street food in Japan, it's kind of hard to find in a Japanese restaurant in the USA because...well it's not really restaurant food. BUT! Okonomiyaki is luckily so easy to make that it ALSO is p e r f e c t home cooking. Great recipe 💖
Okonomiyaki.... healthy... yeah... about that. Still my favourite recipe! Spent 3 years mastering it. This recipe is very authentic and excellently presented (except for the lack of red ginger, as that one is essential).
It was so much fun cooking and boxing with you Ryosuke! Looking forward to making another unhealthy dish with you!
Risottoro, are you planning to learn how to make tasty food to hide poison in Chris' food?
If you can’t beat Ryoske you’ll never overtake Chris. All I can say is I’m disappointed.
Cool colabs
Looking forward to another video.
It was so cool you were on the video.
Big thank you to Ryotaro for helping me celebrate reaching over 130,000 subscribers (although it was still around 120,000 when we filmed this video!) Sorry about the knock-out though!
Thank YOU so much! Because of you I'm able to cook delicious food easily without a problem, it is truly amazing.
Can you make an Omurice next, please?! I love omurice, but want to see your way of making it!
It's ok apology accepted 🙂☺️
Glad you knocked him out in the end 🤣. Your laid back and friendly attitude easily explains why you made that 120k in third of the time. Keep the mood up champ!
2 days after the video was released 140000 subscribers
The awkward moment when Champs Kitchen has more subs than Ryotaro in a quarter of the time 😂
(I'd better watch out).
The Okonomiyaki looked absurdly good!
This was a lot more tame of a roast on Ryotaro than I was expecting from you haha.
Based Chris
Damn Chris def not holding back when it comes to Ryotaro hahaha
Chris cooking when?
I want to see Chris cooking too!
As a substitute for the yam I've landed on a combination of tapioca flour, which has a lot of mucilaginous fiber which is what makes the yam so slimey, baking powder, to replace the air that's added when you grate it, and a bit more water to make sure the batter isn't too dry
Hey Champ, I recommend adding potato starch if you don't have Nagaimo. Around 20% potato starch and 80% flour is good!
Ryotaro knows Champ?! Alright, when is the Abroad in Japan collab coming?
Maybe I have to make my version of fami-chicken before he will join me in the kitchen
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen HAHAHAHA
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen lmao
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen That's actually not a bad Idea. I'd definitely watch that.
Edit: Chris doesn't even have to help cooking, it's enough if he tries it.
Next dish is ....
Grilled "Abroad in Japan"
まあ煮ても焼いても食えないと思うけど
Tough bird likes KARA-AGE fried chicken
I'm amazed that you managed to say Worcestershire sauce way better than most Americans. Congrats on the 130k (Nearly 140k).
Not only Americans. Nearly everybody outside the UK struggles with the pronounciation.
It's very noticeable for Americans cos of their hard R's and habit to say shy-er instead of shu-h
@@Piddemannen Ok, I get it. Americans are second to none. Even their pronounciation is worse than anybody elses. 🤣
I know right? I remember my 5th grade teacher way back when tried correcting me when i was right. She would go. " No.. it's Wershershersher" .. lol
At some point, I just call it woozy sauce.
Love it! I thought it would be complicated to make a Okonomiyaki, but you make it looks easy!
It's really simple right? And quite healthy!
@@ChampsJapaneseKitchen Yeah! I really like the part that you make adjustment to make it more healthier. It makes me being able to eat delicious food meanwhile losing body fat 😆
This always makes my day. Congratulations on the subs. And glad to see Ryotaro stick around to help clean dishes.
The worst part of cooking is washing the dishes
Okonomiyaki isn’t that popular outside Japan but it is one of my favorite dishes of all time! I hope more people try it!
i wish it was so that more Japanese restaurants would sell it!
I just tried okonomiyaki with my wife and son last week. It was so good! Can't wait to use this recipe to start making it at home. Thanks!
Heck yeah, my Mum used to always make this for me growing up. congrats on the 130k!
I lost it when you clobbered Ryotaro. Now, it is time for Abroad in a Pan. Seriously, CONGRATULATIONS!
Eee! This looks great! I love sending these videos to my father, because he's a lot like you in the kitchen and it's nice to have something like this to talk about, since I just moved several hours away. Thank you!
I've had this once at a Japanese shop here in the Netherlands and it was sooooo good and I'm totally in love with the taste! Definitely going to make this!
Also, Ryotaro seems to be everywhere! XD
In what city did you get it? Really want to try it as well :D
@@Delithran Breda. Look up KOI Kanpai
There’s also a teppanyaki place in Amstelveen that does seriously good Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki, both in Osaka style and Hiroshima style. Look up Ichii Amstelveen. 👍
@@The_Joestar dankjewel
Wow it's so great to see Ryotaro!
This was my favorite episode so far! I can see the effort you both put into this. Thank you for being so much fun to watch :)
My 6 year old son loves watching your videos with me. He is a picky eater but I've got him to try some of the Japanese dishes I've made at home.
I love this channel so much. He just talks like your best friend cooking with you in the kitchen.
You're the best!!! Keep making wonderful videos!
These two chefs exude the same chaotic energy and I love it
Loved how Ryotaro matched your energy, going to give him a subscribe as well. I love okonomyaki
Oh dang Ryotaro invaded another channel. Also I'm so excited to try this recipe. Okonomiyaki is my favorite Japanese food!
I love watching the end washing the dishes scene. It is so calming :)
Looks like Ryotaro forgot he was Japanese there for a moment.
I love all the healthy recipes on this Channel. They look very tasty too! But my favorite part of all the videos is the end where Champ washes dishes after the meal. It feels therapeutic. Calm.

Congratulations Chef! And thank you for inviting Ryotaro as a guest sous chef on your channel. Keep up the great cooking videos.
I'm just eating this now after trying to make it for the first time. It turned our all right I think. I'm full, but I can't stop eating, it is just so good.
This is amazing. I love this video 🤩 keep up the great work. BOTH of you!
Ryosuke is such a great guy... at this point I just watch his videos because I feel so at home he deserves so much more attention best cooking channel on youtube
It is so great to see another one of my favorite dish from the champ! Time to get back in the kitchen.
I usually use a premade flour mix, coleslaw mix (so there is also little strings of carrot and some red cabbage), and I like to cut up bacon to stir into the batter as well.
Perhaps my most favorite Japanese cuisine dish! Glad to see this made!
I love okonomiyaki, but I always did a mish-mash of different recipes online. This is really nice and clear on the batter details!
This was such a wholesome wonderful episode
Can't wait to try this at home! By far one of my favorite cooking channels on TH-cam
champ thanks for knocking him out, he deserved it for putting that Mayonaise on there.
THIS IS CHAMPS JAPANESE KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very fun collaboration! Your videos and cooking always make me smile
I'm very happy to know about this channel! It appeared in my timeline just yesterday and I watched almost all the videos in a row! Fantastic chef! Greetings from Brazil!
I put Bonito flakes 10 times more on top and it's... *chef kiss* ❤
Thank you guys! That was great and entertaining. I’m goin to round up supplies this weekend.
This is awesome! Congrats on all the success!! Also, when sushi??
This will really help me for my new part time job tomorrow!!
I love the energy and positive vibe of your channel. Also your food is easy to make and has ingredients you can easily find. Congrats on 120k my man. Keep cooking and making these banging videos for us.
Genuinely fun video, Ryotaro's questions where actually a lot of questions I had while watching it, so it cleared a lot of doubts
You are a lot of fun and super informative! Thank you sir!
Thank you! I was really excited to see the Okonomiyaki recipe :)
Congratulations on over 130,000 subscribers! I have never tried okonomiyaki but it looks delicious so I will be making it for dinner tonight!
Thank you for teaching me how to cut cabbage. Genius!❤
I prefer Hiroshima style okonomiyaki, but all of it is good. Every style, every topping - it's just out of control how delicious a dish it is. God bless Japanese comfort food!

Tried it today. I've made some before but this recipe is better. Note if you don't have rice cake and yam make sure to add more flour mixture.
This was awesome! Loved the guest appearance too.
Congrats on the subs, champ!!, you deserve it. Your enthusiasm is amazing and makes these videos an absolute joy to watch
People used to say have fun while cooking, and this is fun
One of my favorite dish. Can’t wait to try the recipe. Thank you chef! 🙏🏻 Cheers from France!😊✌️
