    As a Taiwanese currently living in NZ, I can't tell you how fortunate it is that you guys are making these videos. I might be a bit late to comment but a huge part of Taiwanese culture is Japanese food and to be able to have a taste of what home tastes like (I know this sounds weird coming from a Taiwanese) is just magnificent.

    Katsu looks great but I gotta try making calico lemonade omg hahah. Why didn't...I think of that? I would mix like 4 shots of vodka too. Japan day seems like a super fun event. So a quick question for you guys. I have tried maybe... 8 or 9 different teppanyaki places. Honestly they all...tasted very similar to me lol Can you actually tell the difference between good vs soso teppanyaki restaurants? You guys describe the food.... so well in a convincing way haha. That food presentation at the sushi restaurant... just amazing. It's art. The atmosphere seems tranditional but the food seems to have some modern twist. I need to make friends with some hairdressers too lol. Another awesome video guys!

    • @PeterandYen

      If you have 8 teppanyaki places all of the same quality it would make sense they all taste the same 😁 we've had all the teppanyaki places in Auckland and none of them can beat daikoku in flavor and meat quality. Even the other daikoku branches can't beat the quay street location 😊 I think what also sets it apart are the sauces, showmanship and the magical fried rice. The lil things made the big difference 😊👏👍my hairdresser the best so many food recommendations hahaha

      Hiya 👋🙂 last restaurant in this video was Ajimi (details are in the description section). Auckland has a ton of amazing Japanese restaurants and really good sashimi. We haven't come across any proper omakase in Auckland like they have in Japan unfortunately sorry but if you love sashimi and have the moolah to splash (coz it's fine dining) we definitely recommend Cocoro in Parnell, you can check out our video of them here: ua-cam.com/video/tqowxESUShM/v-deo.html it's so good but Ajimi definitely has really good value for money sashimi and in a much more casual setting 🙂👍 Enjoy!!
