We’re back 😍 Hope you all had a great festive season 🙌 So excited to kick off the year with our Japan series- remember all details of what we eat and the cost are listed in the description 😄 Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy this one gang! Cheers, Thomas & Sheena
I‘m so happy in different ways, one way I see my most loved food again in a series (every food in every country is awesome and great, I always want to try everything, but I‘m just so deep in love with Japan and japanese food) and on the other way I see my most loved travel around the world couple finally on the road again. I know this is your passion so I kinda feel how awesome it must be to you, thanks again for every video you did the last years to show us your home and where your roots are, and now you show us the world again🥳
@@plejade4125 Awww thank you for the lovely message Plejade! It feels so great to be travelling again- I honestly had forgotten how balanced I feel when I'm out exploring- it's such a part of us. So, so happy you enjoyed seeing content from our home. There may be a bit more of that once I'm unable to travel for a bit because of the baby but we'll be getting back out there again asap! I reckon it'll be pretty neat to travel with a wee one- another team member along for the ride haha. Thank you for your unwavering support as always. Wishing you and your family a very happy new year! Cheers, Sheena xxx
@@kristenclarkin7662 OMG you must be so excited Kristen! It's nearly time for you to head off! We revisited a lot of the spots we shared in our last Japan series and can happily report they're all still top notch! Hope this series has a few more places you can add to your list for March. So stoked for you! Thanks for watching Kristen. Cheers, Sheena
Loved the dumpling at the end, I could eat those all day. The slow roast whole sweet potato looked interesting as the flesh looked a lot like yam or our golden kumara. I feel I ought to experiment with roasting kumara. Thanks again for a delicious walk down the street.
Thanks for watching John! Yep it was very golden indeed- very much like the colour of yams. It was absolutely delicious and I just loved their simple set up. I loved exploring this town- it was nice to get out of the big city! Thanks for watching mate. Hope you had a great weekend. Cheers, Sheena
Hi Thomas & Sheena, i always love your guys video, it always help me to look for local and not mainstream food.. really inspired me to become a food vlogger like you guys... i wish you guys can come to Jakarta and will take you guys around to some hidden gem here!!
Hi Viky! Thanks so much for watching mate and we’re so happy you are enjoying our content 😍 we’d love to return to Jakarta one day- it’s been a long time since we last visited! Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel. Cheers, Sheena
Hi mate, it was such a great town, it had a really cool vibe, you guys would have loved it. Thanks so much for watching and hope you guys are having a great weekend. Cheers, Sheena 💕
Hope you had a snack on hand! Thanks for watching, it was a video filled with delicious food wasn’t it? 😆 Hope you enjoy the rest of the series start. Cheers, Sheena
Do it mate!!! The perfect Sunday grill food! You’ll have to start planning a trip 😍 it was awesome being back there. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
😍😍😍 It’s such a beautiful town! We loved it and were so glad we made the trip out. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
Great video👍 I live close to this place and love the Starbucks there(really nice design built to suit the historical street)which is a few shops away from where the bell tower is🙂
Thanks for watching MiNeo! It’s seems like a lovely town in which to live. I did notice that Starbucks- it’s great when they design them to fit in with the local architecture. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
I’m based in Japan so it’s fun to see you guys trying out all the street snacks. And I visited Penang recently so I learned a lot from your videos about what to try there. Of course I ate too much 😊
Listen to you, Sheena, busting out your Japanese language skills! Is there anything you can’t do? 👏 I have never been to Kawagoe, but your short video there highlights absolutely everything I love about small(er) town Japan. I’m sure the nugget loved it, too! 🙌😘
😆😆😆 I can’t say I’ve retained much of my high school Japanese Michael but it got us by! It was awesome visiting a smaller town- would love to do more of that in the future in Japan. I think Pip (our nickname for the nugget because it was the size of an orange pip when we found out I was pregnant) thoroughly enjoyed Japanese cuisine! Thanks so much for watching mate- have an awesome week! Cheers, Sheena
Thank you for taking us back to Japan! Kawagoe is one of the places that are stillll on my list, I just always manage to miss out on it, but it looks like a snacky paradise!
Oh wow you guys went to Japan 😍 I have always wanted to go 6here, it looks like such a special place to visit. Loved the video guys and happy new year to you both
Happy New Year Angie! You totally have to get to Japan it’s such an amazing place to travel and the food obviously is insanely good! Thanks so much for watching. We hope you enjoy the series. Have a great week mate. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks so much for watching Robert! It’s great to get back out there and to return to some places we’ve been itching to get back to. Hope you enjoy the series mate. Cheers, Sheena
It's 0245am monday morning and finally I could watch this vlog... It is just so unfair I'm starving watching all this yummy food Japanese...Honto ni Ni hon no shokugi wa sugoi oishi deshita Watakushi wa onegiri to yakitori tabetai deshita Ok showen off enough...he he I would kill to go to Japan but as I'm completely disabled I can only dream...May be in the next life 🙏
Love it Tavita! Your Japanese is much better than ours! It was a great day of eating- we’re so glad you could travel and eat with us via the video 😍 thanks for watching mate. Cheers, Sheena
Oh wow! We loved the region so much and can’t wait to return to explore more on future trips to Japan. Thanks so much for watching and we hope you enjoy the series. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate I really enjoy watching you two!! (Plus a little one in your tummy:) Glad you had a good time here. Many best wishes to you all for a new year!! X
Awesome !!! You guys so humble and Represent NZ and most importantly Represent Food World around the World and their Countries and off course Food Lovers 👏👍🍻 So Proud of you Sheena and Thomas 🙏😊🍻 Terima kasih 🙏😊 Cheers mate 🙏🍻
Hi Arnold, thank you so much for your generous words! It’s so great to be travelling again and we are also excited to share more of New Zealand this year. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the series. Cheers, Sheena 😄
Cool video from Kawagoe, guys! But you need to try the local beer called Koedo. It’s great! Also, the area is known for sweet bean treats. We live close by. If you need more tips on cool places to eat in Western Tokyo, let me know.
Thanks for watching mate. We saw the local beer but Thomas didn’t want to drink alone (I’m pregnant at the moment)- it gives us a good reason to return to Kawagoe in the future 😍 Thanks so much for the info. Hope you enjoyed this video! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Nice! Two more areas to check out in west Tokyo would be Kichijoji and Koenji. Both along the Chuo Line. Some great eating spots like izakayas in both places. Kichi also has a lovely little lake area you might want to see. Have fun! And congrats on the new addition to the family!
@@RockPopMandolin thanks so much mate! We're very excited for the adventure ahead. We LOVED Kichijoji- we just had a fun day exploring and eating without filming. Will have to pop Koenji on the list- thanks so much for the recommendation! 😍😍😍
@@ChasingaPlate Oh cool! That's great. My wife was really impressed with your Japanese! lol! But here's a little language tip - instead of saying oishi when someone hands you some food, you could say "oishi-so!" That means "Looks delicious" (You could even shorten it to Oish-so). Love New Zealand, by the way. Have to get back there some day. Cheers!
OMG this is my dream to travel around Japan - only thing holding me back is i get over whelmed in huge crowds and noise! That food looks and sounds amazing! My dear how many languages do you speak? i love love Japanese food especially Takoyaki!
Hi Debbie, a huge happy New Year to you! Small town Japan would be perfect for you to explore as it’s a lot less crowded than the big cities 😍 ha ha I can speak a few words of a few languages 😆 there’s some delicious takoyaki coming up in a future video, so watch out for those! Thanks for watching mate! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate- Arigatou gozaimasu - ありがとう ございます - yes small town Japan sounds amazing - no hurry at all but anytime you can give me a list of ideas where to go that would be amazing - omg yes can't wait to see it.
Hi mate, unfortunately with already left these videos we filmed a couple of weeks ago. Hope we can return soon! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the series! Cheers, Sheena
Hi mate, I’m not, but I did study Japanese in high school, although I can’t remember much of it! What I do remember, was just enough to get us by though 😆 thanks so much for watching. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series! Cheers, Sheena
Lovely to see the historical architecture! In a country so rich in history, it's a little sad when modernization destroys history. Japanese food is the best. Everything is so well considered, and matched and married for optimal impact. Sort of like the 2 of you! 🥰 Happy Birthday, Thomas!
You are just too sweet MsKestrela! Thomas had an amazing birthday, thanks so much for the wishes. It was so great to travel around a smaller town in Japan. I would love to return to do more of it in the future. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the series. Have a great week! Cheers, Sheena 💕

I loved the old couple and their sweet potato cooked off the back of the Ute. So simple but looked delicious
They were awesome! And everyone was queuing up- it was the most delicious sweet potato- such great flavour. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Can’t wait for the next japanese food vlog!
Thanks so much Sue 😍 so excited to share it with you guys! Cheers, Sheena
Never seen such a simple snack at a market as the sweet potato, and why not. Sometimes you have to eat something just like it is.
Totally agree! And they were doing a roaring trade- the sweet potatoes were utterly delicious. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
