    Fun fact about Manarisu (the Sukiya guy): Sukiya is having ikura promotion right now and he's very excited about the "Mega Ikura Bowl"
    P.S. Japanalysis did a video on the dude. Great vid, anything from Japanalysis is always a banger

    Haneda Airport, along with Changi, are some of the only airports where I absolutely don’t mind spending hours of layover time in. The amount of shops, restaurants and interesting installations to see and experience is enough to keep you entertained for even a day. There’s a mini traditional Japanese village on the second floor and a newly built mall with onsen next to it, and if that is not enough you can take a free bus to Terminal 1-2 where you can find even more authentic Japanese shops.

    The manarisu Sukiya thing isn't until he gets his nintendo switch. It's until he empties out all his points.... But people kept adding more points. 😂
    So he still has to eat at Sukiya everyday

      @@jdvp_That’s the thing, if they’re paying for the meal, you are “obligated to eat what’s offered.” If they’re adding points, unless he calls to stop, they’ll keep it up. Though I wonder how much he’ll keep doing this before the reputation wears on him.

    Haneda is nice for a few hours. Last time after a morning stroll from Nippori to Uneo via Yanaka and Nezu Shrine I arrived about 1pm for my 4:40pm flight. After a shower I went to have one last reasonably priced ramen and highball. While happily slurping my noodles I noticed that my airline had messaged me that my flight was delayed. This gave me more time to explore T3. There are plenty of shops and food places and the viewing deck has an awesome view of the Tokyo skyline, and for a bonus there were Tombi circling above. On a previous trip we had used the on-site onsen. So I think with a five hour layover this could easily be taken up with just hanging out at Haneda all for the minor inconvenience of going through customs and immigration control. However, it is at Haneda where I experienced my only tremor in Japan. I felt dizzy and so did my partner. The building shook for a second or two but noone seemed to care.

    5hr Haneda Stop -> Train down to Sakuragicho station (Yokohama) -> Yokohama Air cabin -> Yokohama World Porters (shopping mall)...Have a bit of a look, then walk back to station. More shops (malls) around station. Has pretty much everything, even an aqua bus that drives into the water and goes for a cruise around.
    Nice clear water - Isso Beach, Yakushima. Just above Okinawa, you can swim with turtles there. Has more to see and do than Okinawa imo

    My husband eats the same meal once a day for years at a time. I cook for the family so he does get other food the rest of the day, but it's...weird. For the last four years it's been sweet n sour chicken and rice for lunch. Every frikken day. I don't know how he does it but he seems happy. This has gone on for 30 years.

      I kinda did that for lunch during high school. Mom would just cook like this say sauce chicken legs for like weeks in a row and I just eat it. She got tired of making it. Like I think the mentality at the time was just eat something that I know taste good was good enough. Lunch was short I ate talk with friends then it was back to class lol. Feel like when you had that like strict of a schedule it just works. Now working having more options I can't see myself do it anymore lol.

    So sad you didn't get that old film developed. I had a nice SLR camera (with film in it with pictures of me, skinny, like I've never been since,) stolen from my room when I was in graduate school at the University of London in 1990. Would've been extremely cool if it had ended up being one of Soccer Claus' cameras.

    Sukiya was my salvation in Sendai. A friend and I were searching the long shopping arcade near the station for somewhere to eat. We were about to settle on a McDonald's when we saw this place underneath it. The sign said 'curry' and I love Japanese curry. So we walk in and eventually order a combined gyudon and curry rice bowl, along with other things. Among the best things I ever ate in Japan.

    Some time after I moved to northern Japan on JET, I had a local police officer knock on my door. He introduced himself, gave me a flyer with the local police station contact, and warned me about fire danger and some phone scams that were going on. My Japanese was so-so and I only got the gist, but the flyer had more info. Maybe similar for the viewer who wrote in, just checking in.

    ROFL, is Chris not aware of the meme? Admitting on video that he's chigyu... xD
    Not that I care of course, I also love gyudon... :P Not sure if I'd be able to eat as much as Manarisu, but few months ago I was ordering a bowl almost every week or so. Alternating between gyudon and katsudon.
    Had to change the diet because I'm getting old and with all the predictable health issues, but it's just such an addictive combination... xD Plus, not exactly cheap where I live. Perhaps fortunately, otherwise it'd be harder to quit. xD
    It's almost the price of a large (cheap) pizza, because it's quite uncommon here - but the place I order from just gets it right consistently. It's the place I'll order when not feeling adventurous.
    So far I've only found a handful of Japanese restaurants that offer it, and most of them try to invent and put too much stuff into it which ends up ruining the thing - the key about it is simplicity. White Japanese rice, thinly sliced meat, ginger, and that's it. Most restaurants will think it's too plain, and will try to shove a bunch of other Japanese ingredients just to make it look "more Japanese" in some imagined sophisticated manner, but that's missing the point.
