    Also known in the US as French Onion Soup. Yes, absolutely delicious. I tried to make it once, and it took hours to finish the recipe. I always appreciate the effort that goes into every bowl of this soup.

      French Onion Soup is my favorite! I found a really good recipe where it's made in a slow cooker, and the onions turn out so tender that they literally melt in your mouth. Takes about 4 hours to make but worth it!

    I thought it was funny that you ordered salad. I remember in one of your travel videos, there was a bit of salad on your plate, and when you looked at it, you just said "Leaf."😁 Interesting that the salad included karage chicken and potato. Onion soup looked good though. Americans would have wanted three times as much dressing.

    Thank you for your excellent video. On the last meal, you ran into a problem that I often run into. the meal is larger than my stomach. It's normal in Madison Heights, Michigan, USA to ask for a box or container, so the rest of the meal can be finished later at home.
    In my purse, I carry Ziplock (quart or gallon) plastic bags. At certain meetings the meals are served on disposable plates with plasticware. When I can't finish my meal, I put it in a Ziplock gallon plastic bag. It fits perfectly. If the restaurant has carry-outs, then they should have containers available.
    Thank you for your video. The food looks & sounds delicious.

    LOL!! Considering your salad had fried chicken, a strip of bacon , garlic toast and french onion soup in it, I question the healthiness of that salad dish for lunch. I think a dietician would faint in horror at the sight of this salad set. That crunch from the fried pork cutlet was amazing!! If there's one thing about the Japanese, they KNOW how to fry foods and keep them that way until it gets to your table.

    • @flu77erluv

Like a teishoku it comes with the main dish salad, side soup and bread or crackers. It can also be a main dish soup and a small salad! The pork also looked amazing, and I am glad you enjoyed the first dish, though I don't eat chicken. Great video!
