If you'd like a tenugui (traditional Japanese Hand Towel), we're selling them at https://shop.lifewhereimfrom.com/ Please note that we were only able to do an initial run of 500 of the popular Japanese Foods tenugui and 200 of the previous scenes from Life Where I'm From tenugui. The shokunin (artisans) are incredibly busy at this time of year. The first batch of orders will be shipped in early December 2024. The second batch will be shipped in early February 2025. Once shipped it should arrive in 2-4 weeks. Thanks! Greg
I like Japanese and Indian curry equally but see them as so different I wouldn't even really compare them.
This Video is incredibly interesting, informative and educational. Japanese culture is an interest of mine. Food is integral to all cultures. Best
Where does totanksu ramen fall? That seems to be the variety that I have seen in Chicago most recently.
History of Japanese curry fascinating and the original recipe is from the IJN back when there was an IJN. Formerly it is known as navy curry.
Just a thought but making a video about vegetarian options while traveling through Japan might get some good views from tourists 🙂
Excellent video.
Japanese food best in the world.
Excellent video, thank you
Superb
Thank you very much for this informativ and exciting video 🙏
I know you have 1.8m subs but still I feel like you are under appreciated in the Japan content creation game !! this was so good just like all of your content.
Enjoyed learning about the historical and cultural background of these dishes that I’ve been eating all my life. As a pescatarian, it was particularly interesting to hear that meat wasn’t widely consumed in Japan before the mid 19th c.
改めて日本人の食への拘りや飽くなき味覚への追及と創意工夫が感じられる。
また、古来から外のものを上手く取り入れ自分の物とする寛容的多様性には感心する。
Thanks Greg, loved the video. It’s an eye opener. Loved to visit Japan someday. 😋❤️✌🏾
Greg, I was in Shinjuku in April and ordered a “surprise me” / “chef’s choice” 5-skewer special in a lower level izakaya. I’m thinking that at least 2, maybe 3, of the surprises were mystery organ meats. Sort of meat, but sorta crunchy. Any idea what I had?? 2 beers helped…
I was in Japan (Chiba, Saitama and Narita) a couple weeks ago. I always like to go to grocery stores to see the selection and price comparison to where I live, LA. I noticed a big selection of the pork in supermarkets (Kawaguchi, Aeon MaxValue, etc) was imported from Canada. I thought that was interesting. I was sad to not have a kitchen to cook in because it looked delicious.
Buckwheat pancakes are a very european street food !
I live in Bengal region of India
Sweets (dessert) are a must have when you are here.
This was a great video! I’m so excited to try everything the way you said when I get to Japan this spring. I ordered the tengui too. So I can sort of check off each one as I try it! Thanks!
おはようございます😊🇮🇩🇯🇵🎉👍
Greg namechecked dhalpuri roti! He knows his West Indian cuisine.
cool thank you. love Japanese food, so exciting, as is Chinese and Indian and Thai and the list is endless. Asian food is exciting. West coast Canadian food is good, however kind of boring.
Still eating Whale meat? 😢😢😢
The "Eaten / Eden" merger should be studied
Another excellent video..! Going good, Greg-san..!😊
Curry’s roots trace back to the Tamils in the Indian subcontinent. The term “curry” comes from the Tamil word “kari,” meaning a spiced sauce or stew. Ancient Tamil kitchens used ground spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and black pepper to create Curry Paste, a practice still observed among Tamils.
Portuguese here 😅 I thought tempura had the origin on the word "tempero" (てーんぺる）
You skipped over how Koreans introduced horumon and yakiniku to Japan. Important part of history , that’s why often you’ll see kimchi and other side dishes at Yakiniku restaurants.
31 minutes of this boring crap?
Who the hell sits through this garbage.
When eating sushi, I pour a thin layer of soy sauce on a plate and let the rice on the bottom of the nigiri piece or a roll segment soak it up for a few seconds. The bottom part never disintegrates, and the soy sauce adds flavor to the otherwise bland rice.
It's slightly different here and there.
Gregさんへ
お寿司の種類はもう少しあるんですよ
関西から北陸で昔からある伝統的なお寿司と言えば、押し寿司（箱寿司・棒鮨・柿の葉寿司・鱒寿司）！
機会があれば是非地方のお寿司も紹介してみて下さい。
