  • I went to a used tire market in Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. There are about 100 retro vending machines lined up here. This is the only place in Japan where there are so many retro vending machines. You can enjoy a lot of vending machine food. It's a cheap and fun spot. Enjoy the video!!
    Actually, this is my second visit. The reason being that there were too many vending machines and I couldn't be satisfied with just one visit.
    🟠Here's a link to my first visit.

    Keeping so many running and operational is intriguing enough, stocking up all of them is another feat . The one you left the empty coke bottle sells dry batteries. Amazing !

      They had the 0.5l glass bottles where I live, screwtop though.
      I'm glad these bottles made a comeback a few years ago, even though a 0.5l glass bottle Coke costs almost as much as a 1l plastic bottle.
      And they even make 1l glass bottles now. They're massive!

      I would guess he found the main supplier of the machine. Not super sure how it is in Japan, but most hot serve vending machines around me are just industrial microwaving frozen foods from small distributors, the same distributors that convenience stores also buy from (change packaging, or ingredients, but buy in bulk and you can get anything you want). I suspect the packaging is custom bulk orders too, and the owner is removing the plastic covers of the meals and putting them in the ordered boxes. A bit of a pain but nothing too crazy

    Nissin are sold here in UK. The contents are different because of UK food laws etc. it’s very strict here. I think NONGSHIM shin Cup noodle are the most popular here. The recipe is the exact same as it is in South Korea. My personal favourite but I do enjoy the Char Su nissin cup noodle 😊

    got to the part where you tried the cup noodle vending machine! I've had both japanese cup noodle and american cup noodle, but i can say by far that the japanese one is superior. the eggs, green onion and "mystery meat" (lol) aren't present in the american version; there's only carrot, pea and corn along with... some kind of seasoning? I think it's dried leek, not green onion. however both are very enjoyable in their own ways, though i prefer japanese cup noodle, especially the seafood one. now i'm craving those delicious sweet eggs and bits of crab and octopus...

      I've had imported Japanese versions and yes, they are MUCH better than ours. The "mystery meat" is usually beef, which the American does tend to have, but they are extremely small 'bits', I guess? There's also another brand that happens to be sold here in my local grocery store (It's a Kroger based store,) And it has bits of sea urchin in it! I love that so much, it's sooooo, so good!

    How do you know for sure if the food has not been sitting there for awhile and fresh, and does someone clean the bowls and the machines?

    • @experience_japan

      Good question! The machines are regularly checked and restocked for freshness, and they are cleaned frequently for hygiene.

    Love your vending machine videos, especially the old machines with cheaper prices, that's my budget. I've watched all of them so i decided to visit your channel and sadly saw most videos about expensive and luxury things to do which MOST visitors could not afford to do. How about making videos on free and low cost restaurants and attractions for ppl on a budget. Otherwise I have no reason to watch the rest of your videos.
