- Remember when Ryosuke and I went to Hakone a while back (and we did that video eating the "Magical" black sulfur eggs? • JAPANESE FOOD - Black ... )
People seemed to really LOVE that food video. Go figure.
I happened to record a bit more footage that day - so I threw together this video of the best food from Hakone~
(Hakone is a great day-trip from Tokyo. I highly recommend it!)

I LOVE HAKONE!! It's soooo pretty there! :D You guys always get to go to such awesome places!
haha that sulfur smell, somehow I never realized that's what natural onsens actually smell like until we went to a mountain like that, too... It confirmed my decision of not wanting to go to an onsen. :D
Wait..! Rachel, you haven't (and don't regularly) go to onsen? You might seriously be the only person in Japan over ever heard of NOT enjoying the it! 😱
Jon E. I'm not into the whole being naked infront of people thing so... if I'd go to Japan for an extended period of time (lime saaay six months in a language school) I probably won't even try it. Although I wouldn't mind a private one, like the ones you sometimes can have when you stay at a fancy hotel.
+essennagerry not really into be nude in front of others either, but i would definitely try it because of the new experience and as the saying goes "when in rome..."
Aww am I the only one that heard at 5:10 Ryosuke said "this one have cheese in it so watch out" so sweet 😍☺️ you're so lucky
Nur Nadhirah He looks out for me :)
Awe, So Nice your dad was able to visit. I'm SURE HE IS VERY PROUD OF YOU BOTH !!! He raised a Great young Lady 👍👍👍👍 ❕❕❕❕❕
Makes me miss the time I spent in Tokyo, such awesome food every where, and relatively cheap, generally stuck to eating with locals in the awesome crowded places. Also, juice box sake was a massive highlight for me back in 05.
mrKozmoz Hahahaha. Those sake juice boxes are so popular~
Oh no.. I'm obsessed with these videos! o_o
Wait...that's a BAD thing!?! LOL!!!
Sean Moran Me too!
I think I've died and gone to heaven finding your channel!! It's the perfect mix of Japanese and explanations in English and the beautiful country and foods and people and traditions....LOVE IT!!!
here in Italy it's pretty typical to eat roasted chestnuts during winter, mainly around Christmas time, or even october/november if you can find good ones to roast...in some places (especially during town fairs and markets) you can also find people that would sell them on the streets ^^
Apparently, right before I press play on your viseos now, "It's the Texan in Tokyo show, BING!" chimes through my head. :P
Here in Spain roasted chestnuts are a big tradition in winter. You can find stalls selling them on the streets and people usually love them!
About eating fresh chestnuts: in Austria it's common to eat them in autum, also it's traditional that they are sold on our christmas markets :) (and in austria nearly every town has their own christmas market -> fresh chestnuts everywhere ^^)
Yes! That was so interesting to me when I got here (from the U.S.) but I prefer Mandeln!
Oh you mean roasted almonds? Yes they're soo good :D i also prefer them to fresh chestnuts xD but it seems it's very rare for an austrian not to like chestnuts that much ^^
"drinking sake from a juice box and eating popcorn, because I'm classy"
LOL
In Switzerland it is actually pretty normal to get fresh roasted chestnuts (in winter). There are even special little huts, placed everywhere (like every 5-10 minutes walking distance) in the bigger cities :)
You just reminded me how much I want to visit Japan!!!! I want to explore many places and try many foods!!! XD I have only been to Tokyo and Hino, which is where my great aunt and uncle live! Japan is such a beautiful country!! XD
It had a deja-vu taste and I realized it was the same footage than a previous video! I thought I wasgetting crazy hehe
I am enjoying catching up on some of your older videos. This one was great. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
My roommate went to Hakone a couple months back and brought me back a sulphur dipped black egg! It was really good, and I don't usually like hard boiled eggs!
You guys are adorable! Not just as a couple, but even as two separate people, you two are freaking adorable human beings!!!
This looked like a really fun day! I love that you shared all the food you ate with us!
I always look forward to a new video! Love them all!
I'm from Spain and where I lived with my grandparents we had a lot of chestnut trees. Though sometimes my grandmother would cook them, we used to eat them fresh and I LOVED them.
oh wow! so much interesting stuff!
O.O!!! Nice to see you guys here!!! Love your channel!!! Sadly, I found the video of the TV show you both did on his personal channel and the subtitles were annoyingly stretched out into one liners and cut off so I could NOT read them all!!! :(!!! I was able o get the gist of it, but still not enough of what the announcer was saying in Korean!!! It looked like you both were having fun with his family though and congrats on the book! :)!
Good the American Dad enjoyed the trip (or at least the saké in a juice box part :).
Yoshikazu Hayashi He really loved that sake. It was adorable.
You guys would have the cutest babies lol
I LOVE chestnuts too! In Turkey, we usually eat roasted chestnuts during winter time. They are being sold by vendors on the streets (roasted) and can be purchased in stores too (unroasted of course). Many people (especially in rural and mountainous areas where houses lack central heating systems) use stoves to heat their living rooms. Roasting chestnuts on the stove during winter time is a typical thing to do in those areas. The taste is also much better when roasted on old fashioned stoves instead of a regular pan.
I used to live in New York and every Christmas we'd go into the city for roasted chestnuts at the carts. They were really good. I believe they are roasted fresh.
I stumbled across one of your videos and I'm now completely hooked! I just binge watched way too many of your videos laughing out loud in all of them! Thanks for sharing your fun life with us :)
Great video! Loved the editing style and pictures at the end!
Love your Japanese food adventures!
Everything there looks SO fascinating! I wish I had the courage to travel to Japan... maybe someday :)
pamela patterson You are already brave enough to travel to Japan!! (Ryosuke)
Thanks! It is definitely on my list of places I'd like to go :)
+Jorn Navarre and money. you need money to travel. if I had that I would be there in a heart beat.
Great Video as always !
You missed an amazing pun opportunity at 3:31. Yolks on them.
Hi Grace.
I loved watching this video.
Because Me and Mirjam will be going to a ryokan in Hakone on the 8th of June :D
So it was great to have a small sample of whats ahead for us.
Youri
I want a husband like Ryosuke too 😣 damn you Grace! You lucky girl!
OMG, you looked like you had so much fun! So happy to see you guys happy. In my country chestnuts just like those are sold everywhere on the streets at Fall, actualy in the day where summer changes to autaumn, they are eaten at every home and in scholls there's a party where everyone brings the chestnuts and they're cooked together and eaten. Sharing food ^^
I remember that exact bridge you're standing on in the intro and that area lol.
I think one of my favorite things about Japan is all the awesome food that people eat!
also the charactors and cute stuff
Awesome~! Me and my wife is visiting to Japan next week, and we also plan to go to Hakone! We were watching the video together, and now she wants to try black eggs Kamaboko! Thanks for video always!
ahh now i'm really hungry. all the food you mentioned in this video looked delicious. the three of you guys are also so adorable
Love the background music. Really soothing...
In Switzerland we get freshly roasted chestnuts every autum, they also make them in a purée and sweeten it so we get to eat it as a dessert. I prefer the dessert.
On the Chestnut question. There was only a small few chestnut trees left due to a blight that hit them hard. So I doubt you have ever had chestnuts before. Only walnuts. Luckily the asian varieties of chestnut trees were resistant to the blight.
Wow! That looked like so much fun!! The juice boxes looked so cute
You look beautiful (again)
Reminds me of the black squid ink pasta in Italy, was quite good & worth the black teeth afterwards xD
Looking forward to more food from Hakone! Nina
You can get fresh chestnuts in (most of) central europe. In Austria they sell them in grocery stores in fall (you get them alreday cooked all year round) and vendors pop up on street corners and christmas markets in winter where you can get them freshly roasted.
Looks like you had a lot of fun! :D I would love to visit Japan someday and try all the delicious foods - your video only helped confirm that. XD
You guys are great! I'll be on my way to Tsukuba in the next couple of months for my Masters (and hopefully PhD) and I am so excited about it! Your blog offers great advice especially on long distance relationships which is going to be my (our) case in the very near future. So I'm here to thank you and to look for good advice. Keep it up guys, you're fun. Cheers!
Freshly-roasted chestnuts are a relatively new Christmas tradition for my family. It's almost an all-night event trying to peel them all, but they're delicious. Meaty, a tiny bit sweet!
We have stalls that sell roasted chestnuts at Christmas time in England. Didn't know they didn't do that everywhere. Great video! :)
your food videos are making me so hungry Dx lol
I need to see if I can find any of those juice box sakes for my hubby, his employer, and the rest of the work crew. I think the guys would get a kick out of those.
And my hubby said he wouldn't try the sulfur noodles until he heard Grace say they were good, then he wad like "well I might try them". Lol. The fish loaf is something I'm not sure about.
Can't wait to see more. (^v^)
I want to live in Japan. Everything there just seems so nice.
Wow! That looks so yummy, I wish they had good food like that here in Shanghai, good thing Japan is just 2 hours away. :)
The black noodles look great!!! I ate GREEN noodles when I was younger. Something just made them taste better than the regular.
Yay! Good times.:-)
The part where the guy dunks the eggs in the water reminds me of that episode on Digimon where the kids find a refrigerator full of eggs
Those sake juice boxes are really cute! Will have to look out for them at the convenience store. :)
In the winter in NYC, there are vendors that sell roasted chestnuts. They are delicious!!!
Miss you guys...
" only like three instead of the whole seven so YOLKS on them "
I ate roasted chestnuts in Ireland at a Christmas festival once!
Oh, also, at Shibuya crossing there's a small outside shop where they roast chestnuts :)
So if i eat one of those eggs every year,i can live forever?
I've had chestnuts before, when I was a kid. A chestnut tree grew right between my house and my neighbor's house and we would peel off the spiky outer shell with our shoes, crack open the inner shell and eat the raw nut. Not the tastiest thing, but not the most disgusting thing either. I think I'll try cooking some next time.
WOW! Hakone looks awesome. I'll be sure to stop by this summer :D
Wow. I just found your channel! I never heard of eating black sulfur things in Japan. I want to go so bad. I love anything about Japan and this video quite surprised me. You have a subscriber for life! I also didn't know you could just drink on the street or wherever. I am taken quite surprised that know one that I know from Japan told me this. lol!
Food! :D
My favourite thing from Hakone was the tamago ice cream. Tasted like frozen custard.
Great video progression. Starting to drink sake. Next scene: Grace on the floor eating popcorn.
I figure you were not drunk, was just funny. Another fun video, thanks.
Grace, did you say "they didn't finish the egg so they only got 2 or 3 extra years, so, yolk's on them"? That's an awesome pun! Love it!
Love roasted chestnuts! It's not Thanksgiving at our house without roasted chestnut stuffing/dressing. We never buy them at the grocery store here in Oregon USA because they are usually dry and moldy. Instead we mail order them directly from the farm either here in Oregon or in Washington state.
so sweet
You guys should be the tasting twins xD Experts at promoting food
Around Christmas time, The Grand Floridian Hotel at Disneyworld would give away free Chestnuts roasted in a wok over an open fire...and they were deliciouuuuus.
It looks delicious
How to describe chesnuts: nutty potatoes.
Haha yes not far wrong!
Freshly roasted chestnuts taste to me like dessert potatoes that grow on trees. Kinda like sweet potatoes that grow on trees.
awesome just subbed due to jun and rachell video i want to go to japan so bad
Love Hakone !
My husband would LOVE those sake juice boxes. haha
Makes me want to move to Japan
We have chestnuts before Christmas every year. Ours come from Italy.
japan is amazing i wanna go there
I love chestnuts! Used to have them in Hong Kong around Christmas time ^^
That is so cool. I love the fact that your dad was with the both of you. So the Sulfur eggs and noodles just taste normal? Thats a plus cause I dont know if I would have tried it with out seeing this video. Thanks. And also loved your two comic books. I will be getting them on paperback as soon as I can afford it, single mom here and not much money.
Love the Mitch Hedberg reference haha
I've tried fresh chestnuts before :)
They're a pretty common street food in my hometown Hong Kong
Texan in Tokyo You can get fresh chestnuts in England, my family like to go and scrump them in the woods near my house and we use tiny pen knifes to peel them :D
Sake from juice boxes...WOW. One thing I've noticed about Japanese culture (and please correct me if I'm wrong...because you live there and I don't) is that they love to take an idea to the max.
Just came back from Japan the other week and we stopped by Hakone and the black egg place! Sadly they didn't let anyone walk up to the hot spring or tea house because the fumes were too large.
Wow, really? That's unfortunate... Glad you got to go there though!
I went to Hakone over Golden Week last year -- one of my favorite places by far!!! Loved the onsen tomago. :-D Did you try the Open Air museum? So beautiful!
It seem like you guys ate a lot of yummy food :)
When I was little, my mom would roast kuri in the toaster oven. It wasn't until I became an adult that I realized kuri = chestnut. XD
I go to Paris a lot, and they sell roasted chestnuts over there. They're the best.
about the chestnuts: In germany, if you go to a christmasmarket you'll find roasted chestnuts everywhere! :D
I really love them :-)
You can also buy them in shops and make them in the oven :)
actually it's quite normal in europe to eat chestnuts at winter time, they're so delicious !
enjoyed your video as always :D
in my country they have street vendors roasting chestnuts...they're not really popular, though (cos it's forever summer here??) and if you buy a pack they're usually quite dry since they've been roasting forever
Japan is usually quite cold therefore it's more popular
omg i love chestnuts
Roasted chestnuts are the BEST! But peeling them is often very tricky! I usually end up chewing on the shell :P
Would love it if you could do a vegan food video. How easy is it to eat vegan in Japan?
Lots of love to you both :)
I am hungry now lol and I want to give all of this a try D:
Ooooh that sulfur ramen looks good! Anyways Grace has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Felicity Jones? Especially when she was in the movie for The Theory of Everything with Eddie Redmayne? Like when I first watched the movie I was reminded of you when I saw her.
1:16 old man waring ash ketchum hat lol
lol you don't eat fresh chestnuts. You either boil or bake them (the roasting in front of an open fire dealio would be considered baking them). They are easier to peel when baked than when boiled; knife is needed to peel boiled chestnuts.
