as a Japanese man living in Kochi, I truly recommend you to eat that sweet potato tempura. it tastes quite good and different from normal tempura and it's cheap. thanks John
My favorite ❤️ seems to be - mochi with azuki red bean paste - sushi especially the ginger one.. - 🍅 - fried sweet potato - boshypan .. hat 🍞. Finally I think I will end up loving these people especially the older generation. I found them very adorable.
It's because of you john that I want to visit Japan since 2016, your energy & your profession work are a great mix to motivate anyone to visit Japan. Also, I miss your late night/midnight stories as you live stream
I love this video! I have been studying Japanese language and culture for awhile and I'm also vegan so this was a very informative video to help me ask about ingredients when I go to Japan in the future!!
Joshua yeah I agree because I’ve actually had these tomatoes before. They’re good don’t get me wrong but i mean...not to just bite into, raw, on the street and then act like it’s something I’ve never tasted in my life before.
Joshua Actually the more I watch it the more I agree with your comment. She overreacts to everything she’s eating & it’s almost like she had to chew / bite in half speed.
From 11:55 to 13:26 it felt like i am in some wonderland by observing their work preparation and dedication to job in hand, completely rhythmic with soothing background music.. thanks Japan for letting foreigners like me to be part your culture and to amaze and keep us motivated towards something good each day!
John, very informative!!!! I wish I could go to Japan ....., I want to eat all that you advertise....looks so good and interesting, yum, yum!!!!! Get some recipes.....
I just love these videos, the elderly of Japan are so sweet and kind it melts my heart and I cannot wait to some day visit this beautiful country ❤️ thank you for sharing these experiences
Your content is always good. I’ve visited Japan a lot of times and planning to visit again, and your videos are feeding me with these ideas on what to do on my next visit. Thanks! Keep it up!
I plan to retire in the Shikoku area someday so it's nice to see a market in Kochi still thriving after so many years. Perhaps I'll put up a food stand as well so please visit.
holy crap! The girl’s japanese is so good! I am actually japanese myself and if I heard her speak japanese without seeing her face, I would think she is not caucasian edit: *Kiara’s edit 2: *Chiara’s
Really informative video and great camera work, I'm even more appreciative that is vegan friendly since as you said some places in Japan might be challenging in finding good vegan food. but I'm happy the awareness is rising and hopefully in the future plenty more vegan options will be available.
These kind a thing warm me up, these day many people don't go out much even for shopping just because they can order it online doesn't mean you cannot go out and having fun.
Esteban Pena there’s amazing vegan food in Japan (in the main cities) but you generally need to go to vegan restaurants rather than expect options in normal restaurants. The Happy Cow app is brilliant.
@@simonjohnson4704 yeah, that's kinda my point though. I'm more interested in the countryside, and it seems only the bigger cities can accommodate. Vegans are an oddity in japan
Yep rural areas are much harder. Probably less so if you can speak the language. But worst case scenario in my experience is you buy pre-prepared veggies, tofu and rice from 7eleven (they’re EVERYWHERE all over japan).
i'll take the sweet potato thank you hahaha... wow the tomato is so expensive there but looks so fresh. everything in japan looks good haha, our fave country :)
I seriously love Kochi prefecture. You HAVE to go there during sakura season. John, the place you went to for the washi paper is very close to honestly the most beautiful momo/sakura blossoms in this country. Niyodogawa in the background, the valleys on the other. I was very lucky to be able to see that this year in full bloom. I hope you'll be able to show your audiences one day too! Also Kochi castle at night during sakura season is also extremely beautiful!
I thought Japan was not vegan friendly. This video changed my perception. Thanks a lot John, with every video you make, My perception of Japan 🇯🇵 keeps changing.
The more videos you produce the more money I start saving for Japan. Actually thinking about maybe residing there. Great videos and this makes me happy to be a subscriber!
We are homeschooling and LOVE this channel for learning so much about Japan. Do you have or will you have any videos on traditional Kimono and Yukata? It would be so fun!
Oh my, now I am hungry! The thought of vegan Japanese food is like heaven. I remember finding an awesome yuba manju in Nikko! Vegan and delicious (and addictive!)
Xero the Slayer if you study the industries (especially dairy aka cow breast milk) you’ll be angry. I went vegan 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. Best thing I’ve ever done for my taste buds too!
So THATS WHAT IT WAS! I remember going to get some sushi and I ordered a tray of random selections. I had no idea what the bamboo chute was. That explains the texture and new taste.
@OnlyInJapan I like the Vegan Country Sushi without the dashi and the Hat Bread. The coverage of this old Kochi Market and its Vegan options was enlightening. I like the Kochi produce that you highlighted as well.
It was something different but the way life is in Kochi is very good! People have a good balance to everything and you can see it when you go. Will be back!
Wow, wish we had known about vegetarian or vegan sushi when we were in Japan. We spent 30 days there and struggled to find things to eat, it was pizza and pasta for the most part. Great video, very informative. :)
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN first of all, John, thank you so much for this delightful video. very informative with lots of rewatchable value. Second, however, this is probably not the vegan video most of your vegan fans we're hoping for. Wondering if you're going to take a more in-depth look at this topic of veganism in Japan. it would be really interesting to see what your channel specifically would do with this topic, as your take on potentially generic topics related to Japan always turns out to be very unique And fresh-feeling. Finally,.. Batter contains eggs? I am really embarrassed at how my lack of culinary knowledge often finds a home in TH-cam comment sections.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Believe or not...I just ate 30 minutes ago....now watching this video....I got HUNGRY again. GOD....if I am there at that market....I am sure....in one day I will be 10 kg more my weight. I LOVE FOODS....HEALTHY....CLEAN FOODS. 🤤🤤😋😋😘😘
When John says: "I always wanted to eat my hat" Wait a minute! I remember that line from the Lucky Strike Commercial back in the 50's or 60's that says: "Show me the filter cigarette that really delivers taste AND I'LL EAT MY HAT!"
I respect vegan's lifestyle choice but I feel they are missing out on a lot. When you have one vegan in your group it always takes a lot longer to find somewhere to eat in Japan. Nice production by the way! I didn't know about this market, if I happen to be in Shikoku I will check it out.
"I hear custard and I hand over cash immediately" You and me both.

I've been huge fan of yours, love every vids since years ago. I've alway been wondering what camera you use..such a great colors and clarity.
I LOVE YOU JOHN!!!!!
Yea you should do more Street Food tour ... i really enjoy this one.
Great work! Keep up the good content:)
my favorite is the boshi pan...😍😍😍..my employer keeps on buying it for me cause he knows that it is my favorite🤩
as a Japanese man living in Kochi, I truly recommend you to eat that sweet potato tempura. it tastes quite good and different from normal tempura and it's cheap.
thanks John
“I’ve always wanted to eat my hat.” John 2019
Me too.
The become a vegan, all that "food" tastes just like a hat.
🤣🧢🍴
Make that a cap
My favorite ❤️ seems to be
- mochi with azuki red bean paste
- sushi especially the ginger one..
- 🍅
- fried sweet potato
- boshypan .. hat 🍞.
Finally I think I will end up loving these people especially the older generation. I found them very adorable.
"Not vegan friendly. It's John friendly" - John Daub, 2019.
Savage! 😂 Just in front of her face aswell.
This should be on a shirt or a hoodie. I’d wear it
Vegan and Vegetarian stuff in Japan looks better than most Vegan and Vegetarian stuff where I live oOo
It's because of you john that I want to visit Japan since 2016, your energy & your profession work are a great mix to motivate anyone to visit Japan. Also, I miss your late night/midnight stories as you live stream
Let's look for something for vegans like these TOMATOES 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iced tomatoes. There is (not really) a difference! 😂🍅
Another magnificent video by the one and only John. Great job! I enjoyed watching this and learning more about the vegan food in Japan. 🙏🏾✨
I love this video! I have been studying Japanese language and culture for awhile and I'm also vegan so this was a very informative video to help me ask about ingredients when I go to Japan in the future!!
Ur channel just increased my love fr Japan
Never stop making videos. I love them. One of the best channels in TH-cam! ❤️
That’s the most vegan thing I’ve seen -when she bit into tomato 😭😂
It's a tomato. I have had absolutely insane heirloom tomatoes, and they still are just tomatoes. Come on now, this reaction is so ridiculous.
Joshua yeah I agree because I’ve actually had these tomatoes before. They’re good don’t get me wrong but i mean...not to just bite into, raw, on the street and then act like it’s something I’ve never tasted in my life before.
Joshua Actually the more I watch it the more I agree with your comment. She overreacts to everything she’s eating & it’s almost like she had to chew / bite in half speed.
she has lived in japan for 10 years writing vegan tour guides, Im pretty sure she doesnt have to fake her reaction to the food she eats
Yes, enjoying vegetables is vegan. And enjoying dead animals isn't. :-/
Good food, extremely clean streets and sidewalks with friendly people. This Sunday market has my vote. Thank you ❤️.
From 11:55 to 13:26 it felt like i am in some wonderland by observing their work preparation and dedication to job in hand, completely rhythmic with soothing background music.. thanks Japan for letting foreigners like me to be part your culture and to amaze and keep us motivated towards something good each day!
The work life balance is not good. Everything looks perfect but it is not.
TheOutsidersPost being a salaryman here since 4 years I totally agree with you, however dedication is un parallel.
Sure is, but sadly in the more metropolitan areas. The strive to achieve perfection leads to so many suicides.
John, very informative!!!! I wish I could go to Japan ....., I want to eat all that you advertise....looks so good and interesting, yum, yum!!!!! Get some recipes.....
I loved this one not just the food but the people, gave off a great happy feeling. thank you from the UK
I just love these videos, the elderly of Japan are so sweet and kind it melts my heart and I cannot wait to some day visit this beautiful country ❤️ thank you for sharing these experiences
Such lovely, hard working old people.
The camera work is awesome😊
Your food videos always make me hungry. Everything looks really appetizing.
Japan : we made potato tempura
Us : hold my beer
*makes deep fried oreo
My man you just trolled the heck outta her offering the sweet potato Tenpura 🤣
Just curious- why is the tempura not vegan? Is it the batter, or the oil they fry it in?
Your content is always good. I’ve visited Japan a lot of times and planning to visit again, and your videos are feeding me with these ideas on what to do on my next visit. Thanks! Keep it up!
I live in Kochi. Thank you so much for introducing Kochi respectfully!
thanks for highlighting these local attractions :) i really am inspired to see it!
Another great video as always! I live vicariously through you.
You should be a voice actor! Your voice is so clear!
I plan to retire in the Shikoku area someday so it's nice to see a market in Kochi still thriving after so many years. Perhaps I'll put up a food stand as well so please visit.
holy crap! The girl’s japanese is so good! I am actually japanese myself and if I heard her speak japanese without seeing her face, I would think she is not caucasian
edit: *Kiara’s
edit 2: *Chiara’s
Chiara’s Japanese is excellent!
I agree, her Japanese is is very good.
In a few years I want to go to Japan and take in some of their culture. Definitely adding this to a place to visit on the list thanks to your video
My mouth is watery from watching this video.
I love eating sweets!
loved this video jon! especially when you partner with japanese locals , it just brings us more views from locals eyes too.
Thank you so much for a new episode that was quite interesting!
Great to see the channel grow, you must be so proud of your hard work paying off. Thanks for sharing your life in Japan with us. 👍👍
Love this video John, was waiting for it! Shikoku is indeed an awesome place to visit.
Thanks for the video~ (Love this btw 3:15)
Love your works. Keep up the good job. I never got sick of watching.
Really informative video and great camera work, I'm even more appreciative that is vegan friendly since as you said some places in Japan might be challenging in finding good vegan food. but I'm happy the awareness is rising and hopefully in the future plenty more vegan options will be available.
I wish when I travel to Japan, especially in Kochi, Osaka etc I would prefer to go with John
I have watched almost all of your videos. And then I decided to have my first abroad trip to Osaka in October. thank you John
These kind a thing warm me up, these day many people don't go out much even for shopping just because they can order it online doesn't mean you cannot go out and having fun.
Ahh a nice cup of green tea in the morning and some good content from John
Culture will save us, and you give us so much. Thanks John
1:03 "Little old ladies" and then shows a man as the last person. Cracked me up a bit.
Gonna watch this when I get home, but this is gonna be a treat! I'm vegan, and I'm told vegan food is a rarity in Japan unlike America. Thanks john!!

Yuck
i'll take the sweet potato thank you hahaha... wow the tomato is so expensive there but looks so fresh. everything in japan looks good haha, our fave country :)
Michigan has massive farms and our produce is just as good if not better. Plus less expensive.
Always something new in only in japan...love it👍👍👍👍
Such a delight to see so many vegan options, it usually seems pretty though.
I can hear that tomato screaming on every bite lmao
The fruits and veggies were murdered! They had a life too :)
Love japan love watching these videos
Wow my family and I love outdoor markets like this. So many thing to see buy and eat❤️😀
I seriously love Kochi prefecture. You HAVE to go there during sakura season. John, the place you went to for the washi paper is very close to honestly the most beautiful momo/sakura blossoms in this country. Niyodogawa in the background, the valleys on the other. I was very lucky to be able to see that this year in full bloom. I hope you'll be able to show your audiences one day too! Also Kochi castle at night during sakura season is also extremely beautiful!
i had to eat my supper to watch this episode. only way to surive one of john's food shows. all in all heartwarming good story episode
Very awesome to have a vegan guest give pointers! Im vegetarians so the tempura sweet potatoes looked yummy!
First time watching. luv it... I subscribed right away
I thought Japan was not vegan friendly. This video changed my perception. Thanks a lot John, with every video you make, My perception of Japan 🇯🇵 keeps changing.
The more videos you produce the more money I start saving for Japan. Actually thinking about maybe residing there.
Great videos and this makes me happy to be a subscriber!
I think citizenship or permanent residency is next to impossible.
it is funny when he said it takes a minute for that vegetarian girl to give a reaction, lol
when you watch an anime without subtitles 😂😂
We are homeschooling and LOVE this channel for learning so much about Japan. Do you have or will you have any videos on traditional Kimono and Yukata? It would be so fun!
Another excellent video John. I am very intrigued by the vegan items you have discovered in this video. Very impressed.
It must be so good to eat food made by those proud locals ☺️
I love this channel so much
I just love your videos. Your videos just gives me good vibes.
I am vegan and thank you for this episode I like.
When local old man says it's the best, it's definitely the best you shouldn't miss out.
He knows what he’s talking about :) I loved that he sneaked that conversation in there at the end!!
So cool! I so love markets!! I would eat so much as everything looks so good!
Great video! So fun and informative.
I waited everyday to see if you have a new vid i just love your channel
Oh my, now I am hungry! The thought of vegan Japanese food is like heaven. I remember finding an awesome yuba manju in Nikko! Vegan and delicious (and addictive!)
Sounds nasty af.
3:14 OOOHHHHH !!
***MAJOR MEME MATERIAL DETECTED****
Lmao
people said: sad that vegan people can't eat sushi, it really delicious,
Japanese say: hold my beer. :v
Omg I learned a new word INAKAZUSHI! Yummy!
This Video was Amazing Love all those vegan food there (:
What drives people to be vegan?! I could never live without the taste of meat and honey and eggs and fish.
Xero the Slayer if you study the industries (especially dairy aka cow breast milk) you’ll be angry. I went vegan 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. Best thing I’ve ever done for my taste buds too!
Killing innocent animals for consumption!
How would u feel!
Try imagining u in those poor animals
So THATS WHAT IT WAS! I remember going to get some sushi and I ordered a tray of random selections. I had no idea what the bamboo chute was. That explains the texture and new taste.
Love to see how they smile
@OnlyInJapan I like the Vegan Country Sushi without the dashi and the Hat Bread. The coverage of this old Kochi Market and its Vegan options was enlightening. I like the Kochi produce that you highlighted as well.
It was something different but the way life is in Kochi is very good! People have a good balance to everything and you can see it when you go. Will be back!
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN Yes, it would be nice to see you film in Kochi again.
Wow, wish we had known about vegetarian or vegan sushi when we were in Japan. We spent 30 days there and struggled to find things to eat, it was pizza and pasta for the most part. Great video, very informative. :)
Production value on this channel is so high.
In India also there is a city called Kochi (Kerala).
so many months has passed without watching you.
Ive just discovered your videos i enjoyed then very interesting!!!😁😁😁💝
Good guiding beautiful vudeo ,nice
Beautiful.
as always, lighthearted and entertaining while being wonderfully informative. Just curious, why was the potato tempura not considered vegan?
The batter. Eggs.

Great video John , I really liked this one.
The music used when you eat your hat, makes me fell like I've had 8 litres of beer in Southern Germany
More vegan/plant-based content please! Loved the video
You're a really beneficial web video; could not make it without ya!
I can’t wait to go back to japan.
These look very nice.
You two make a very good couple 👍😊❤
that is not his wife.

3:21 that evil laugh though 😂
