A big shoutout to Pete Donaldson for joining Journey Across Japan, he'll be sorely missed! To find out who's joining us next as we journey south towards Hiroshima, be sure to check out the end of the video, when he who must not be named is finally revealed. And for more of Pete, you can always tune in to the Abroad in Japan podcast, where we discuss all things Japan, every single Thursday! (Podcast: hyperurl.co/nhgr30)
Clearly you aren't familiar with London cartography. "Northern UK" is anything outside of the M25, "north northern UK" is anything north of Birmingham and "northest UK" is Scotland.
I'm gonna miss that Pete guy! At least he was well fed before you left him on the street...I'm greatly enjoying this trend of abandoning your guests at the end of their tour in random locations. Cant wait to see where 'Risottoro' ends up at the end of his tour :3
Is no one going to mention the fact that Mr. Donaldson's shirt has an uncanny resemblance to the marbling of wagyu. (If not quite as well marbled as that being eaten)
This.. I thought it was an odd angle at first but seeing Pete's hand holding the chopsticks I damn near broke my neck from the violent double-take my head automatically launched into
one month without a new abroad in japan video, i've reduced the sarcasm in my every day interaction, i'm actually becoming a likable human being, please chris save me, post more videos.
I've lived in Kobe for about a year and half some time ago, and I had one of the best experience of my life so far in terms of food. Besides the Kobe beef, which was too expensive for me, there was the first Russian restaurant that opened in Japan and has history of something like 100 years. There was a China town. Lots of good Indian restaurant. Some of the best Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai restaurants I've ever been to. One of the best Naples style pizza. You will never get tired of food there. And of course lots of cheap and good Japanese restaurants. You can also enjoy a weekend by hiking over the Rokko mountain and taking a dip in an onsen on the other side of the mountain, a nice 5 ~ 6 hour hike. Then you can just hop on to a bus or train and be back to the center of Kobe in half an hour or so. I really miss Kobe....
It is really Brian Cranston wearing a Risottoro mask. Or is it Ken Watanabe wearing a Brian Cranston mask wearing a Risottoro mask? The tension is killing me right now.
I feel like I got baited into this video from the thumbnail. :( I wanted to see Bryan Cranston in japan eating A5 beef and giving some thoughts. I am disappoint. AIJ needs to make some phone calls, and get Cranston in a video please. ;)
I originally found your channel when searching for a bit of info on an upcoming trip to Japan I’m planning, but I was very surprised by the outstanding quality of your content, and you’ve come to be one of my favorite content creators! Keep it up mate
How did I just find this channel a couple of weeks ago? I love Chris' dry humor and his adventures are amazing! I'm living vicariously through him in this pandemic.
I'd like to test that theory by dedicating an hour long episode to narrating paint drying. It'd potentially work in an artistic post-modernist kinda way.
“Arigato Cowzaimasu” Sounds like Pete has been learning Japanese from Natsuki! 😆 Oh man, that was the best preview ever. Risottoro has become a true Bond villain.
first time i ate kobe beef a massive tear went down my cheek, honestly was so amazing one of the few times i felt glad to be alive, the chef probably thought i was a weirdo tho
Kobe is my favourite city in Japan. Wonderful place I called home for 5 years. The people, sights, food, not too big not too small, just an amazing place. 😌
Chris, you’re gonna have to update Pete’s podcast title to “Top London Radio DJ, certified Japanofile, AND juiciest beef in the whole wide world, Pete Donaldson.”
Just recently got into the Abroad in Japan podcast, very entertaining. Recommend it to anyone who is subbed to this channel. Also had A5 wagyu from a vendor in Tsukiji, who probably cooked the beef terribly, but it was still the best beef I ever had. I don't think its possible to have bad wagyu. Lol
@@AbroadinJapan *IF* i'm in #Japan I'd be grateful to know what the radio station is that has your mate { in this video } Pete Donaldson on , what's the name of his radio show including local Japanese time of station of broadcast & *THAT STATION'S* radio frequency. 👨💻🇦🇺 👥🥩🇯🇵💱🍦🫂
When I was in Japan we stopped off at Kobe on the Shinkansen and went to a restaurant we heard was pretty good that was in a mall near the station called Wakkoqu. According to the receipt we had an A4.5 cut? Either way it cost 13981 yen after tax for the cut so for both of us together and was still freaking delicious. It introduced me to the experience of steak that melts in your mouth, it was fantastic. Oh and as for konbini ice treat deserts, you've gotta go either for those Mango ice ball cups from Family Mart, or a classic Gari Gari Kun bar.
That kobe beef was amazingly delicious but on the other end, I loved getting the family mart fried chicken in the middle of the night, there was a 24 hour family mart in the condo I stayed at
My work in the US serves A5 kobe. It's the coolest thing. I'm actually shocked that pete didn't mention it "melting in your mouth" like you said, because it basically does. He also didn't mention that the incredible softness comes from massaging the cow. The last thing I think pete should have mentioned on it is that if you are going out to eat real kobe, you can ask to see a certificate. All of the A5 cuts (don't know about lower) are given to the dining establishment with a certificate of authenticity. You can make sure your kobe is legit by viewing the certificate.
Woah tbis is so strange I literally was looking at your channel just then thinking, “I wonder when the next part will come out” that’s so strange. Also I want to thank you deeply for answering my question on the podcast a few weeks ago. My name is Zak. You answered my question about teaching in japan. It has helped me so so much so thank you so much
I love the incredible detail in this video, I've been watching your videos in chronological order. I've almost caught up to the present but I could definitely see the improvement in the video production. I love your videos Chris, I listen to your podcast, you have inspired me to travel. I'm anxiously waiting for the day I save up enough money for my own trip to Japan and I hope its as wonderful as I believe it is and that I could do at least half the things you have. Keep up the good work.
My god, what I wouldn't give to live the life Chris has. It's one thing to watch it, but another entirely to quite literally have your full time job being traveling around Japan and having fun.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again If we ever get a video with Pete, Sharla, Natsuki, and Ryotaro all in one place, it would be the equivalent of Christmas morning PLUS pancakes!
7:15 "I've travelled with three guests on this trip so far: Joey from Australia, Sharla from Canada and Pete from the UK" ...poor Natsuki, forgotten already 😢 - he was there riding along on Day One!
This is why I like this channel when it comes to food; Other food review channels will do the "food pron" type thing where the descriptions and the glory shots go on and on - there is nothing wrong with that, but this gets down to business.
Thanks very much for the "recommendation" to this Kobe restaurant 😁! We ate there while on our honeymoon in Japan and it was decadent. The owner was also very nice and friendly. We watched your channel a lot for tips on what to do and you haven't failed us yet. Thanks for all you do Chris; keep up the amazing work!
Recently discovered your channel and I love your videos. I've just been adding almost everything from your videos to a list of places to see and food to eat whenever I visit Japan.
I love Ryotoro! Seeing his dramatic entrance gave me chills... Please could you ask him in one episode about how speaking in Japanese vs English changes the way you think and feel and act? I found that really interesting when you brought it up a few episodes back.
I second that question. I'm curious about the answer, because I watched a video of Ryotaro-san giving a TED talk in Japanese, and I couldn't believe it was the same person;. he seemed so subdued. Some of that can definitely be attributed to a TED talk being a formal setting and Abroad in Japan being informal, but that being said I've also watched some very lively TED talks from the US. I wonder how much of the difference in behaviour is a cultural thing.
I'm bilingual (Spanish and English), and I have the slight inner feeling of being a "different person" in each language. Not massively, but I feel like I act, express myself and gather my thoughts in different ways depending on the language. It's hard to explain or put into words, but I think it's definitely a thing. Different languages have codes of expression that lead to slightly different information processing.
Love the podcast and the preview for the next episode was perfect. I know you put a lot of time into editing these videos and it is appreciated. I have always wanted to visit Japan as I, too, am a self-certified Japanophile :) thanks for sharing so I can live vicariously!
Ate Kobe beef once in Japan, in the exact same place as the one in the video and it was truly life-changing. Had to resist the temptation of spending on other things during the whole trip but that dinner was 100% worth it. I will never ever look at beef the same way again.
I've recently enjoyed fine Japanese dining myself. On vacation in Florida, we happened upon an exquisite little place called Benihana in the hamlet of Fort Lauderdale. The traditional throwing of the shrimp was a sight to behold! Great for the skin! Hope you enjoyed your stew meat.
Why Aye man! I have been looking forward to Ryotaro joining the trip :) The videos you make are absolutely beautiful and Pete really brought in a lot of random fun
For anyone wondering. I'm sure that there's a very specific definition, but brackish is usually used in reference to a type of water where fresh water, and salt water meet and mix. Therefore, brackish water.
Great video, guys! Best of luck in the next leg of the adventure. Already looking forward to the next spine-tingling episode! Ok, maybe not exactly spine-tingling, but you get the idea...
I was able to get about 6 oz of A5 Wagyu. What they say about the richness is spot on. You don't really need more than a few bites to be satisfied. After the whole steak I kind of felt like butter myself
I discovered this channel a couple of days ago and ive somehow managed to watch every but of content he had posted. Chris is a reallt good story teller, and beats the utter crap out of most vloggers out there
man... I've just been watching a dozen of videos from your channel over the duration of an afternoon but hell does this feel like an epiphany Keep it up. greetings from Germany

Isn't that just the recipe for the ideal life
Makes sense. 80% of Japanese TV is about food.
Nay, I'm sure it's because Chris loves food :p
The Risottoro introduction was definitely the best preview yet😂
The man that jumps out of nowhere and chris decides to focus on him 😂😂😂
Risottoro OMEGALUL I'm dying.
Timeustampu purisu
Dandy man endo obu za bideo desu.
Risottoro in da house .... u know what that means MORE KOBE BEEF!!!!!!!!!! YEAH
I ate Kobe beef 3 days in a row (large amounts) and got really sick, then I waited for 2 days and did it all over again. Totally worth it.
Hahahaah
Wow. All A5 grades?
I always empty my entire body either 2 hours later or the next morning, totally worth it!
and here i am, eating cup ramen 3 days in a row (large amounts) and got really sick, then waited 2 days and did it all over again. not worth it.

It's certainly a not-so-subtle way to say "food porn, AKA mouth masturbation", isn't it?
The creature from Bird box IS A5 Kobe beef.

This is with hopes that Ryotaro doesn't successfully assassinate Chris on his time as the guest lol
THE RETURN OF RYOTARO
Chris's Revenge! 🎥
I'd watch it! ✋👍
It will probably end up with chris being left in some trunk of a random car and risottoro cycling away into the mountains.
Is no one going to mention the fact that Mr. Donaldson's shirt has an uncanny resemblance to the marbling of wagyu. (If not quite as well marbled as that being eaten)

When does the "Pete In Japan" channel begin?
My suggestion for a channel name has always been Donny In Shibuya 😂

Several times a year according to the podcast.
Quite jealous of him, really
I would rather call it "Adonaldson in Japan" ;)

Tommy Sörensen I’m actually impressed he was able to eat like that.
lmao I was just about to say that it agitates me the way he holds them. lol

Chris, you are quite possibly the ONLY UA-camr to NOT say that the beef "MeLtS iN mY mOuTh". That makes me happy. Thank you.
He's already said that in the other two or three videos he's made featuring Wagyu beef. xD
Only because Risottoro scolds Chris every time he does describe food as "melts in your mouth" lol.
“dissolves in impact”
*plot twist: Bryan Cranston is the next guest*
That would be amazing.....
I swear if Bryan Cranston was in Japan only 50 miles from me, I will end this world.
Plot twist to the plot twist, Ken Watanabe is the next guest but he's wearing a Bryan Cranston mask.
It is really Brian Cranston wearing a Risottoro mask. Or is it Ken Watanabe wearing a Brian Cranston mask wearing a Risottoro mask? The tension is killing me right now.

For you non-Brits watching, "minted" is UK slang for rich or wealthy in case you thought it meant that someone was covered in mint leaves or mint oil~
Thanks.
Or in case anyone thought about coins.
It is always great to get an answer for a question you didn’t even ask. 😉
@Manga Fury it's not London slang, it's northern 😁 but a bit old school I guess. Londoners nick loads of phrases!!

For anyone wondering. I'm sure that there's a very specific definition, but brackish is usually used in reference to a type of water where fresh water, and salt water meet and mix. Therefore, brackish water.
You and your guests/friends are amazing and the videos you make are a must watch for me👍
O .. M .. G .. I can’t wait for Ryotaro to join the cycle !!!! Woooooo !
Journey across Japan 2: Let’s find out how fit my Honda Fit really is.
Heck yeah, Rissotoro!
A5 kobe beef is like heaven on earth but in your mouth :) no sauce needed, just pure bliss from the wagyu beef!!
Great video, guys! Best of luck in the next leg of the adventure. Already looking forward to the next spine-tingling episode! Ok, maybe not exactly spine-tingling, but you get the idea...
Is this daily but one part gets released per week? The schedule is confusing me lol.
Filmed daily, released every 4-5 days.
@@AbroadinJapan thanks for letting me know. Love the work you're doing man.
I think initially Chris actually was doing near daily videos and editing on the road, but that clearly wore him down. It is better this way.
It takes a lot of work to do the editing too! He was dying trying to do actual daily videos at the start of the trip.
Actually glad Chris stopped trying for daily vids, the bags under his eyes looked like an accident waiting to happen.
I hope this will be the year I see Natsuki and Ryotaro together in a video.
Chris: He's from North Northern UK
The Scottish: Are we a joke to you?
Never met a scot who identifies as being part of the uk xD
This video is the reason that I went to Kobe to try out that beef from that restaurant this January. Thanks Chris!
whats the name of the resturant. im going to japan next month
I was able to get about 6 oz of A5 Wagyu. What they say about the richness is spot on. You don't really need more than a few bites to be satisfied. After the whole steak I kind of felt like butter myself
See you tomorrow~ *Over one month ago*
