Sorry to tell you this but its not as German as you think. This guy lives in the Netherlands and in the Netherlands we have just as much döner if not more. We even have a street in my city. Its called the Amsterdamse straatweg and like 90% is döner shops. Nobody knows how they survive. Sinds its like 2km long (.Probably al criminals).
@@GeorgeJapan As a West German child I went to the cinema in 1973 and watched Japanese Godzilla films, my son then watched all the old Godzilla films on video in the 90s and we remained fans. I like your video. All the best from Berlin.
Love your positive energy and your lighthearted personality! If you visit Germany again I can highly recommend to try a Döner in Berlin (German version of the kebab plate inside a bread). If you want really good traditional German Food I highly recommend to go to South Germany, those dishes are way better there than in Berlin, beer (especially in Bavaria), Brezel (especially in Württemberg), and Haxen, Schnitzel etc (in Bavaria). If you visit Munich you have to try the restaurant "Steinheil 16", amazing big Schnitzel and great beer! I wish you great and save travels!
Thee reason why sparkling water is so popular in supermarkets is because our tap water is usually not only safe to drink but also very high quality and delicious, so if we want plain water, we go to the tap.
German food look amazingly good, I mean fries, beers.... Yeah remind me my country hahaha 😂😂😂 glad to see another video of you George, greetings from Belgium.
plain water tastes so stale, i always go for carbonated water. that someone wouldnt like carbonated water is the weirdest thing i heard in a long time lol
So delicious 😋 ,nice vlog ✨👍🏻 you enjoy so much there 🤩 and your English is so good . When I'm trying to speak in English I always forget to use the main things 😅
If you are interested, apart from the Umlaute and the fact, that we can make other syllables, the German pronunciation isn't that different to the Japanese one. For example, if you pronounce Guten Appetit like グ テン アッペ チツ you aren't that far off, I mean it gets a bit wonky at the "チツ " part, but it's close enough.
Berlin currywurst is my favourite german food. My German friend makes it, but she tells me I _have_ to try it in Berlin! One day I will visit but no sparkling water for me either 🤢🤣
Original Wiener Schnitzel is made from veal. It's a bit more expensive than the pork Schnitzel. If it's not veal, but pork or chicken instead, it's called "Schnitzel Wiener Art", meaning "Vienna Style". It's traditionally fried swimming in a pan of clarified butter.
really enjoyed your video. has a great vibe and some information I myself as a german didn't know. I was also at the Hofbräuhaus at my 2 week stay in Berlin. I really like the flair in there and also great food
No the BREZL is a Baverian thing. You should come to Nuernberg and Try "Drei in a Weckler" § Nuerberger suasages in a Bun(Semmel)and try a "Spezi" its half Cola and half Orange lemonade.
I have a question regarding the katakana at 3:55 You say you call the sausage "furankufuruto soseji" but the katakana read only fu-ra-n-ku-ru-to so-se-ji. Was this just a subtitle error or was the second "fu" left out on purpose for some reason? Glad to hear you like german food, especially Schnitzel. But is the Currywurst really the most popular street food? I would have expected Döner to take that spot. Have you tried Döner? O:
Mit dem Eisbein das wusste ich gar nicht. Also das die Bezeichnung daher kommt, weil man früher die Knochen zum Eislaufen benutzt hat. Wieder was gelernt. Dankeschön 👍✌
I've seen you on the Ubahn U7. I live 12 minutes from the place you showed in this video. This Video was recommended by UA-cam and I was really surprised. Greetings By the way I don't eat meat or sausages and I don't drink beer but I do like sparkling water😂

May I ask, since you are from Japan, when you walk around the streets in Germany... Are you more relaxed because the streets are not so crowded like in Japan? I am from Germany and when I think of Japan I instantly think of crowded streets which would make me feel uncomfortable walking in
0:32 And that was just "medium" sparkling water... not even the worst one. PS: I am german, and dont drink that stuff since 20 years. Dont know why it is so popular :3 And no, it doesnt taste better at all.
Currywurst has a special place in my heart, it was the first thing I ate when I got to Germany for a summer abroad. I ate it a lot while I was there and learned two things about it: 1: apparently it's a junk food that is not eaten by the locals and mainly geared towards the tourists. 2: the locals look at you funny if you put ketchup on your fries (apparently they prefer mayo) Also, please tell me you tried some Berliner Weisse while you were there, it's one of the local beers and it's so good.
Hm, generally spoken Currywurst is very common across the country. And for sure Döner Kebab is definitely also very common. But I guess both dishes are equally popular in Germany.
Nah germans do eat currywurst, but maybe not as often as some might think. Döner Kebab is something people eat at least once or twice a week. And nobody cares if you eat your fries with ketchup or mayo. Some even mix it. I for example only eat them with ketchup
I am one of few germans that do not like sparkling water so every time I order in a restaurant in Germany I always need to add "still" or "not sparkling". But whyyy hahah
Sorry, but Spandau - while being a district of Berlin - is not in Berlin. Eisbein und Sauerkraut may be the general cliche idea of German food around the world but hardly any "local" would visit a restaurant to eat it. Bascially the video shows a Japanese visiting Berlin (North Germany) to test typical traditional south German foods and a Curry-Pommes. 3/10
Your German(?) friend pronouncing Sauerkraut was the harshest pronounciation of the word that I ever heard: "Sauerkrrrchrrraut!" Normally Germans don't talk like this, lol.
welcome to berlin, my hometown! but you ate bavarian food, not really german. munich would be a better place to visit for traditional food, in berlin you missed the opportunity to eat "döner kebab"
I’ve been to Germany several times and speak the language to a certain degree. I could never live there, I’d end up huge because the food is so good and tasty
So true. When I came here I weighted 45 kgs and within ten years I weighted 90 kgs at 166cm. I went back to eating more föd but that which I grew up eating and within six months to 65 kgs which is a healthy weight because I was definitely under weight at 45 kgs.
I found the difference in the sizes of the beer glasses amazing. Did you manage to drink all the beer without feeling drunk, George? 😆 Btw, I loved the Rengoku scene. ❤🔥
germans dont really get drunk from those big glasses, they mostly get drunk at parties with family but almost never at restaurants or bars. this is some crzay stuff over here in germany!
I mean I live in NRW but I think you got me wrong, I ment it more like we eat it a lot but if you go into a restaurant you dont see everyone eating stuff like that
Germany has had some natural springs that produce carbonated water known since roman times. This natural sparkling water is much less carbonated than commercial sparkling water and often contains greater amounts of minerals, making it slightly salty. Sparkling water was perceived as healthy in the past because it is more resistant to going bad. Even in roman times some of the natural springs were praised for their health-benefits. It was less available since it could only be consumed directly from the spring mostly by wealth people on holiday. The strongly carbonated water began to be available in the 19th century with pressure resistant glass bottles and machines for carbonating the spring water artificially (adding that perceived premium effect).
Incidentally the first carbonated water exported predates glass bottles and was exported in clay pots from Germany to the UK and other places. Selters - which's brand name has become synonymous with carbonated water in many places of the world due to it being the first internationally advertised and exported carbonated water

@@yukarimurasaki Those two dishes are different things. Not everything breaded and fried is the same you know. Also it just tells me you haven‘t eaten higher end Schnitzel before. The variance in how good Schnitzel can be is immensely big.

I tried a Vienna Schnitzel once in a Restaurant it tasted sooooo Amazing. But if i need to choose i would prefer the Schnitzel we make at Home. It takes a while but its good
Finally you’re in my home country. Glad you enjoyed our delicious food. Your guide was really nice with a contagious laugh 😅❤️. You should visit Hamburg. It’s beautiful
Man i loved that Vid, as a German my Heart just goes nuts when i see ppl from "Outside" trying these things and liking them and stuff, im a huge Fan of the Japanese Culture and the ppl, so Double win for me Seeing you here throwing around with good Vibes, your such an delight Person! Loved it!
First impression validated. As a french in germany, I think they drink even more sparkling water than beer ... Here you can notice the big diffence with US. germans put a very sausage in a small bread, when americans put a small sausage in a lot of bread ... I like the german way, the purpose of bread is avoid burning your fingers, focus on the sausage ... There are quite a few other things in german food. doesn´t get its full credit. You should try some things from south germany like kasespatzle, it is quite different. or try the fish brotchen from the coast, even the green cabage from the north is interesting. bremer Knip is also something, it is way better than it looks like ... And all the types of german bread, pretty impressive actually and usually quite good.
Glad you liked our food - and i'm not a big fan of sparkling water either ^ If you come back one day, you HAVE to try mettbrötchen! its a staple for breakfast here ^^
For Curry-Wurst (Curry Sausage) you have to go to more famous places in Berlin, like "Curry 36" or "Konnopke's" - there are really big differences in quality to the shop you went to. As you said - you have to come back again!
@@GeorgeJapanmake sure to go to the "bratpfanne" too at "schlossstraße"! It is a really old curry sausage shop that has been a family business since the start! They make great curry sausages and add a lot of curry powder to their ketchup! They might not be the standard tourist spot but there is always a line of waiting people, so good is it!
@@GeorgeJapan Tastes great, while Germany, Austria and Switzerland are (to my knowledge) the only countries selling it you can just mix it yourself so I highly recommend trying it 👍
In my family we mostly drink tap water (which is very clean in Germany). Only if we drink fruit juices we use sparkling water to mix it. And a Brezel is best when it still is a bit warm from the oven and you eat it with fresh cold butter. Personally I always remove the salt on the outside, but my wife loves it with the salt. Also the best ones can be found in southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria).
A few years ago we had a university student from Japan live at our place for a few months. My mom hoped for him to show a few japanese recipes to her but all he ate were frankfurter sausages and continued to stay in his room 😂
Their small beer reminds me of the small pop/soda in North America🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Their small is like the XXXL in other places. I don't like beer, but I'd give that lemon soda and beer combo a try! The schnitzel and the eisbein looked great! Thanks for the video :)
Depends on the region and beer type. This while being in Berlin was a specifically Bavarian beer hall and the southerners usually drink very large beers (usually 0,5-1l) whereas where I live in the west the usual glass size is 0,2l (due to the small size you get put new beer in front of you without ordering until you put the little carton thing it stands on on top)
Hilarious. When I visited our local Asian supermarket last month, I ordered at the food court chicken tonkatsu...and I swear, it was even bigger than the schnitzel you were eating here. I wondered if they pounded out a whole chicken to make it, it was that huge.
If it is a common food in Germany, prepared, eaten and enjoyed there, then it is a German food. I don't know what the urge for Austrian is, to write a similar comment under every single schnitzel related video? It is like saying pasta is not an Italian food, because noodles originated in China. Apropos Italy ... the oldest records for a fried breaded flat piece of meat are from Italy ... so saying schnitzel originated in Austria isn't true either.
@@michelleksp Darling, reading comments correctly and processing the information is not forbidden either. Pointing out your misinformation makes it easier for others to laugh about it and take it less seriously.
there is much more to discover, like in every country there are regional specialties... and I don't like sparkling water either ;-) regards from Germany
German food is also very seasonal. E.g. we have the Asparagus season upcoming in which the whole country will be feasting on white asparagus in all manners of preparations for a couple of weeks
Yeah but you gotta be carefull with immigrants the can be really fucking unfriendly, your average German street roamer are the friendly ppl you can say hi too
If it is a common food in Germany, prepared, eaten and enjoyed there, then it is a German food. It's called Viennese Schnitzel, when it is made of veal. In the video they had a porc schnitzel which would be called Schnitzel ala Viennese style at it best, often just Schnitzel and serve with a lemon. If it is served with a fried egg sunny side up it is called a Hamburg Schnitzel; with cremy mushroom sause it is a Jägerschnitzel. There are also chicken schnitzel, turkey schnitzel or even cauliflower schnitzel or other vegan schnitzel. I don't know what the urge for Austrians is, to write a similar comment under every single schnitzel related video? It is like saying pasta is not an Italian food, because noodles originated in China. Apropos Italy ... the oldest records for a fried breaded flat piece of meat are from Italy ... so saying schnitzel originated in Austria isn't true either.
I am quite sure that Currywurst is not the most popular street food in Germany. Currywurst is more a Berlin thing. My guess for the most popular street food in Germany would be Kebab.
Ehhh i dunno man. Currywurst in like any festival where as döner is not. So I suppose it depends on your idea of street food. But also any town likely has two things a döner place and a currywust place (aside from a Lidl lmao).
Actually you are wrong . Currywurst, especially with french fries and Mayonnaise, or short "CPM"(Currywurst Pommes Mayo) is very popular everywhere. If anything it is less popular in Berlin then elsewhere.
It was good to see you post a video, it's been a little while since we've heard from you. Hope you're feeling well. I was wondering if maybe you've been a bit homesick lately? Perfectly normal if you are. How fun would it be to have a good friend from home join you for a week or two? Sure hope to see you more often George, have fun and enjoy your adventures! 🥰
I try an explanation, why Germans love sparkling water: When you love beer, you will recognize that fresh - not only cold but also freshly drafted - beer is the best. The carbonation is a criteria for freshness. For us: carbonation means "fresh". In Germany we love all kinds of soda, beer and carbonated water. Countries that prefer wine as France or Italy will have an other attitude to this.
St Pellegrino , best water!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ I used to hate sparkling water when I was a kid but honestly.. its so much more refreshing and I dont need to gulp in half the bottle to end my thirst. its way more efficient.
Hmm German tab water is really good (except in Berlin there it tastes awful) I only drink tab water and sparkling water is disgusting. But I also don’t eat a lot of other German food as I am vegetarian. There are some replacements, but idk.
As a German myself i have to shout it out. Germany has many realy great dishes and delicious Foods. But sadly, you are in Berlin, the worst place germany had to offer. Sanya would be a better name.
With all the Bavarian stuff you ate and drank, you should have went to Munich instead of eating all the food people from Berlin think is Bavarian. Eisbein is not a Bavarian dish and not served anywhere close to the Alps and Hofbräuhaus in Berlin is an absolute tourist trap haha
Hmmm…that big sausage on the crusty bread made my mouth water 🤤 German food looks delicious. I think I would get drunk in Germany 🤪 I would try all the 🍺🍺🍺 bye 👋 see you in the next video 😊
I think its very german to say that i like watching videos of People visiting Germany and trying the food just to know what they think about it / us xdd
Next time visit Bavaria, it's like the "typical German" for foreigners. Although all parts (N,E,S,W) are different, I think you still got good experience what germans eat :)
You didn't eat Döner??? 😮 It's a staple in Germany! Especially in Berlin they make them really big and they have much more filling than in Bavaria. 😅😊

Here you can notice the big diffence with US. germans put a very sausage in a small bread, when americans put a small sausage in a lot of bread ... I like the german way, the purpose of bread is avoid burning your fingers, focus on the sausage ...
There are quite a few other things in german food. doesn´t get its full credit. You should try some things from south germany like kasespatzle, it is quite different. or try the fish brotchen from the coast, even the green cabage from the north is interesting. bremer Knip is also something, it is way better than it looks like ...
And all the types of german bread, pretty impressive actually and usually quite good.
I'm happy you liked it here and the food 😊 ps: I hate sparkling water too
I really liked the food there except for sparkling water haha
Glad you liked our food - and i'm not a big fan of sparkling water either ^
If you come back one day, you HAVE to try mettbrötchen! its a staple for breakfast here ^^
Mettbrötchen ist Liebe. Mit dick Butter, Salz, Pfeffer und Zwiebeln. Heute direkt wieder zum Frühstück. Ein Traum!
I prefer uncarbonated water aswell but I love a good Apfelschorle to be honest 😁
For Curry-Wurst (Curry Sausage) you have to go to more famous places in Berlin, like "Curry 36" or "Konnopke's" - there are really big differences in quality to the shop you went to. As you said - you have to come back again!
Oh I’ll definitely try it at those restaurants next time!🇩🇪
@@GeorgeJapanmake sure to go to the "bratpfanne" too at "schlossstraße"! It is a really old curry sausage shop that has been a family business since the start! They make great curry sausages and add a lot of curry powder to their ketchup! They might not be the standard tourist spot but there is always a line of waiting people, so good is it!
Curry 36 is a shitty tourist trap. Overpriced and low quality.
For a good Currywurst he should go to "Konnopkes" or "Curry Baude".
What about Curry 75?
Highly recommend Spezi, definitely my favorite german drink. Coke and Orange Soda mixed, tastes amazing
Yes, I always did this at home as kid at parties and when I went to cinema and was so happy when I went to Berlin and it was an actual drink!
Oh that sounds so good!!
@@GeorgeJapan Tastes great, while Germany, Austria and Switzerland are (to my knowledge) the only countries selling it you can just mix it yourself so I highly recommend trying it 👍
In my family we mostly drink tap water (which is very clean in Germany). Only if we drink fruit juices we use sparkling water to mix it.
And a Brezel is best when it still is a bit warm from the oven and you eat it with fresh cold butter. Personally I always remove the salt on the outside, but my wife loves it with the salt.
Also the best ones can be found in southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria).
obatzda is also very good on brezeln. one of my favorite savory things on bread actually besides mett and other things
A few years ago we had a university student from Japan live at our place for a few months. My mom hoped for him to show a few japanese recipes to her but all he ate were frankfurter sausages and continued to stay in his room 😂
Their small beer reminds me of the small pop/soda in North America🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Their small is like the XXXL in other places. I don't like beer, but I'd give that lemon soda and beer combo a try! The schnitzel and the eisbein looked great! Thanks for the video :)
Radler was so easy to drink and tasted so good🍺
Depends on the region and beer type. This while being in Berlin was a specifically Bavarian beer hall and the southerners usually drink very large beers (usually 0,5-1l) whereas where I live in the west the usual glass size is 0,2l (due to the small size you get put new beer in front of you without ordering until you put the little carton thing it stands on on top)
Beer and lemon soda is basically shandy. Easy to make, just mix an ale with a Sprite or 7up. Don't use pilsner beers.
Hilarious. When I visited our local Asian supermarket last month, I ordered at the food court chicken tonkatsu...and I swear, it was even bigger than the schnitzel you were eating here. I wondered if they pounded out a whole chicken to make it, it was that huge.
Yeah tonkatsu is big in general. I think they pound it but not as intense as schnitzel
I really appreciate the effort you took to oder in German. Glad you had a good time here. And thanks for this really entertaining video. :)
Your favourite from this video (the Schnitzel) isn't german food!!! It's actually from my country which is Austria. :)
If it is a common food in Germany, prepared, eaten and enjoyed there, then it is a German food.
I don't know what the urge for Austrian is, to write a similar comment under every single schnitzel related video?
It is like saying pasta is not an Italian food, because noodles originated in China.
Apropos Italy ... the oldest records for a fried breaded flat piece of meat are from Italy ... so saying schnitzel originated in Austria isn't true either.
@@henningbartels6245 Dude chill out lmao, is giving out accurate information forbidden these days? Don't take everything so seriously XD
@@michelleksp Darling, reading comments correctly and processing the information is not forbidden either.
Pointing out your misinformation makes it easier for others to laugh about it and take it less seriously.
German food is more interesting than I thought. Thanks for introducing it.
there is much more to discover, like in every country there are regional specialties... and I don't like sparkling water either ;-) regards from Germany
Thank you for watching!🇩🇪
German food is also very seasonal. E.g. we have the Asparagus season upcoming in which the whole country will be feasting on white asparagus in all manners of preparations for a couple of weeks
@Ric, saying that after only 5 generic food item ... makes me really wonder, how low your expectation were...
@@Patrick-6630 Bundesland=Federal State und nicht country
Yeah but you gotta be carefull with immigrants the can be really fucking unfriendly, your average German street roamer are the friendly ppl you can say hi too
Schnitzel is actually an Austrian dish. It is called Vienna Schnitzel. :-)
If it is a common food in Germany, prepared, eaten and enjoyed there, then it is a German food.
It's called Viennese Schnitzel, when it is made of veal.
In the video they had a porc schnitzel which would be called Schnitzel ala Viennese style at it best, often just Schnitzel and serve with a lemon.
If it is served with a fried egg sunny side up it is called a Hamburg Schnitzel; with cremy mushroom sause it is a Jägerschnitzel.
There are also chicken schnitzel, turkey schnitzel or even cauliflower schnitzel or other vegan schnitzel.
I don't know what the urge for Austrians is, to write a similar comment under every single schnitzel related video?

I am quite sure that Currywurst is not the most popular street food in Germany. Currywurst is more a Berlin thing. My guess for the most popular street food in Germany would be Kebab.
Döner actually was a Berlin thing too. And both are German wide very popular although Döner is even more consumed
Ah their Kebab was also very good!😋
Ehhh i dunno man. Currywurst in like any festival where as döner is not. So I suppose it depends on your idea of street food. But also any town likely has two things a döner place and a currywust place (aside from a Lidl lmao).
Actually you are wrong . Currywurst, especially with french fries and Mayonnaise, or short "CPM"(Currywurst Pommes Mayo) is very popular everywhere.
If anything it is less popular in Berlin then elsewhere.
Currywurst is NOT only a Berlin thing.
It was good to see you post a video, it's been a little while since we've heard from you. Hope you're feeling well. I was wondering if maybe you've been a bit homesick lately? Perfectly normal if you are. How fun would it be to have a good friend from home join you for a week or two? Sure hope to see you more often George, have fun and enjoy your adventures! 🥰
Yes a bit, I’m enjoying my travel so far :)
Ahhhh nooooo! I want to cry! That particular bakery is famous for their bread! You should have tried the "Weizenlaib" bread
😭😖😪😆😁
Delicious 😋🇩🇪
😋🇩🇪
I try an explanation, why Germans love sparkling water: When you love beer, you will recognize that fresh - not only cold but also freshly drafted - beer is the best. The carbonation is a criteria for freshness. For us: carbonation means "fresh". In Germany we love all kinds of soda, beer and carbonated water. Countries that prefer wine as France or Italy will have an other attitude to this.
St Pellegrino , best water!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ I used to hate sparkling water when I was a kid but honestly.. its so much more refreshing and I dont need to gulp in half the bottle to end my thirst. its way more efficient.
ドイツ人がスパークリングウォーターが好きだとは知らなかった 😂
うーん､そんな水が好きじゃない人は多いと思います
😂
@@NatalieSkunkMonster 個人的には、私はしません
Hmm German tab water is really good (except in Berlin there it tastes awful) I only drink tab water and sparkling water is disgusting. But I also don’t eat a lot of other German food as I am vegetarian. There are some replacements, but idk.
I as a German don't like sparkling water. I ever have the feeling that my stomach will explode If I drink that stuff.
As a German myself i have to shout it out.
Germany has many realy great dishes and delicious Foods.
But sadly, you are in Berlin, the worst place germany had to offer.
Sanya would be a better name.
With all the Bavarian stuff you ate and drank, you should have went to Munich instead of eating all the food people from Berlin think is Bavarian.
Eisbein is not a Bavarian dish and not served anywhere close to the Alps and Hofbräuhaus in Berlin is an absolute tourist trap haha
Hmmm…that big sausage on the crusty bread made my mouth water 🤤 German food looks delicious. I think I would get drunk in Germany 🤪 I would try all the 🍺🍺🍺 bye 👋 see you in the next video 😊
Their sausage and beer are truly amazing 🇩🇪
The guy you didn't understand as you were buying Currywurst said ,,man muss film" ( you have to film) i hope this helps
I think its very german to say that i like watching videos of People visiting Germany and trying the food just to know what they think about it / us xdd
I can't believe you went to Berlin and didn't eat a döner! It's basically a crime! 😂
Next time visit Bavaria, it's like the "typical German" for foreigners. Although all parts (N,E,S,W) are different, I think you still got good experience what germans eat :)
Ayo wtf .... it's called Wiener Schnitzel (Vienna Schnitzel) for a reason.
