I know that food is something of a precious commodity in Japan thanks to shortages of workable farmland and all that but... Really, guys? "Putrefied viscera"? That's just taking the piss.
It's like there's a Japanese person sending him tins of pet food and getting him to continuously eat them and Stuart can't tell because the labels aren't in English. He just thinks it's disgusting local food.
As I sit here suffering over pages of cognitive revision, my only driving thought is that one day, if I work hard enough, I might to achieve my PHD in psychology and be qualified to ingest various jarred seafood products from the far east with little regard for my own life.

I like to believe this was all a cunning psychological experiment that Ashens started to understand the depths to which humans will go to in their search for entertainment, and it all got a bit out-of-hand...
Fritts ShockTrooper Same here, it looks like something I would just buy and eat without really thinking about it. I imagine that them being dried probably removed the ick, and the wasabi/almonds mask any unpleasentries
Except I prefer Chinese and hate Sushi, I find European culture easier to understand, and the majority of Anime is trash. I find them appetizing because they actually look actually good.
One day someone in Japan got up early in the morning and thought: "Why not ferment raw squids in putrid viscera?" after that nothing really changed in the world, but at the same time nothing was ever the same.
+Shoaib Dayaji I saw what you squid there! I'm having a whale of a time making these fish puns Okay okay, I'll stop for reel, don't be crabby That's my line!
These are either getting one hundred times better because of how funny they are or like ten thousand times worse with the food he has to eat and i cant tell which one i enjoy more.
I don't think I'd eat anything outright labelled as "putrefied" and "viscera". Maybe I'm just close-minded. Also, I used to buy those dry fish things. Not for myself, of course. They were marketed as cat treats. She loved them.
Japan's way of communicating to westerners - Cute animal notes & subtitles Japan's exports to westerners - Cute animal things (like hello kitty) weird seafood, nice sweets & buns, martial arts, anime & degenerate forms of hentai. We certainly get the finest parts of their culture exported, for men of extremley fine tastes. As a man of culture myself i can't say no to some sake, hi-chews, ramune, mochi and anything with red bean flavour, or a trip to the Japanese style steakhouse or sushi-go-round and ofc some hentai with catgirls. Nyaa Nyaa ;) Only the finest of Japan's exports for myself :)
Ashens, I just tried a Chef Boyardee Mac & Cheese hot pot (I'm a student, so please don't judge me) and I seriously don't know what to say. The pasta tastes waterlogged and the cheese sauce is the most anemic, flavorless glop I've ever eaten. I can't get my money back, but if you try it, maybe I'll have some closure on the matter.
I have an aunt from Japan. She's a very nice person who only brought slightly odd things into my parent's kitchen when she, my uncle, and my cousin stayed with them for half the summer last year. But if she brought home this kind of gunk... I don't think even my brother would like it, and he once made pickled octopus that had three inches of grease inside the jar.
I'm currently "worktraining" in a petstore with alot of aquariums.. The dried fish looks exactly like the unfortunate fishies that we find dried into the floor sometimes (they get spooked and jump out). Amazing.
For a few, blissful, moments I wondered what you meant when you said you were hoping for Hammond organs, then I slowly closed my eyes, exhaled and gently applied my palm to my face.
"Fermented squid in putrefied viscera." So it's rotten squid in rotten gore. Yeah, that's real appetizing...
I know that food is something of a precious commodity in Japan thanks to shortages of workable farmland and all that but... Really, guys? "Putrefied viscera"? That's just taking the piss.
viSSEERA lol why my guy dont know words
I'd eat it
That sounds like a great name for a metal band
Its Japanese
Anyone else just love how cute the little animal labels are?
That panda sticker is too cute and cheerful for the phrase, "putrefied viscera".
Birberino "Yay, rotting organs!"
sounds like a phrase you'd see in some early Carcass lyrics
yeah its like writing meshuggah lyrics in a hello kitty notebook
That's just the title of it's science class report.
''It's a big rubbery slab of nothing, a bit like Piers Morgan.'' That joke killed me

Evr wonder if there's a Japanese version of Ashens reviewing British food?
Fish and chips in a can!
Princes made a Fish & Chips paste at one point.
Stuart must try it!
Said paste was quite short-lived.
I want to see a Japanese man react to like, Stargazy pie
Raw squid in putrefied viscera has got to be the most appetising thing I've ever heard
Wait a second, I don't think you believe that at all!
WHO BUYS STUFF LIKE THIS?!
I'd eat it
Hint of shrimp might be a terrible band name, but putrefied viscera....
"fried egg from satan's anus" is my band name

“Putrified Viscera” on the other hand, is a fantastic name for a heavy metal band!
Death metal*
@CHERYMVF ksksksks is right.
Who was the guy who drank sake and through "If only there was a dead fish in my glass"?
Or a severed goddamn toe... 🤢
I'm not much for eating whole fish, but the wasabi fish looked genuinely appetizing, for whatever reason.
I hate all forms of seafood and yet I agree.
Fritts ShockTrooper Same here, it looks like something I would just buy and eat without really thinking about it. I imagine that them being dried probably removed the ick, and the wasabi/almonds mask any unpleasentries
Judging by your anime avatar, I'd say you find it appealing just because it's Japanese.
Except I prefer Chinese and hate Sushi, I find European culture easier to understand, and the majority of Anime is trash. I find them appetizing because they actually look actually good.
Yeah, once you get over the eyes staring at you accusingly, it's pretty good. Designed to be consumed as a snack with beer.

Go on Ashens, eat the surströmming, you know you want to.

Lol😆
I'm convinced the person who translated these was just fucking with him the whole time.
"A big rubbery slab of nothing. A bit like Piers Morgan.,," Truer words have never been spoken.
Ashens should dual camera these food specials so we can see both the food and his reaction while he eats it. I think his reactions would be gold.
TH-cam keeps showing me red lobster commercials before Stuart eats nasty seafood
"Ashen's Weird Cookery" has a nice ring to it.

Can't get enough of that cute pink bear with the words, "Pureed brain and organs" on it.
Many Japanese chefs went to the ancient Roman school of cooking. Rotten fish guts. On everything.
They have an "everything-but-the-oink" mentality with virtually all foodstuffs.
The little translation tags are tauntingly adorable.
I don't think I'd eat anything outright labelled as "putrefied" and "viscera". Maybe I'm just close-minded.
Also, I used to buy those dry fish things. Not for myself, of course. They were marketed as cat treats. She loved them.
did anyone else love the handwriting of the english translation
More cheapie or weird food specials. Quite entertaining.
Is anyone else binge watching Ashen's food specials?
Me, and I don't know why...
They are my favorite, amongst his videos.

He was about as equally well liked on this side of the pond too.
I actually just went to ashens' Twitter to make sure that the blowfish didn't kill him. There are no new tweets.
I'm scared...
You have to eat the puffer itself to end up poisoned. The one in the sake was probably de-poisoned.
The alcohol would have dealt with any poison. The Asians also make wine with scorpions and snakes in them.
I think he's okay now.
