What Japanese Prison Food is Like ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Japan has some amazing prison food, which should be no surprise. Inmates are served healthy, nutritious meals of grilled fish, salads, rice and soup - which are actually healthier than most school lunches around the world! Would you like to try what prisoners eat? There's a prison in Hokkaido that serves authentic meals to the public and that is where I went -- Abashiri.
Abashiri is in the very north of Hokkaido and is famous for its prison. Their "Bangaichi Shokudo Diner" is the only restaurant that serves authentic prison food in Japan, the ingredients the same as the penitentiary nearby. The meals will probably surprise you!
Prison Food Menu:
SET A: Pacific Saury, 2 salads, barley rice, miso soup (780 yen / $7.00)
SET B: Atka Mackerel, 2 salads, barley rice, miso soup (820 yen / $7.50)
It's called the "secret meal" because Japanese Prisons are very restrictive with access to the outside world. However, Abashiri is dfferent and they've opened up prison life to the public and it's worth a visit.
We also get a tour of today's prison cells in Japan. They have tatami mats, futons, TV, toilet and window. There are private cells and cells for 6 or more inmates. Japanese inmates typically eat their meals in their cells.
The Japanese prison life is regimented, the schedule the same everyday. Wake up at 6:40am and lights out at 9:00pm.
Meal time is three times a day for 20 minutes.
Where is Abashiri, Japan?
It's in Hokkaido's north, a 90 plane ride from Tokyo's Haneda Airport.

Their prison food is better than my daily meals
There meals are not like that it's way different
I see you everywhere
help I think I’m being monitored
The meal 100% doesnt represent prison food. If it was real normal visitor wouldnt eat that.
Probably less tasty
When Japanese prison food is better than American school food
Some Random Weeb That's why most of public school kids in the U.S don't eat school food
Some Random Weeb back in the day we had awesome school lunches but now I’ve seen what they serve and I wouldn’t touch it with a stick
Some Random Weeb well I know they serve much better food in school now then in the 90's.At least at the school my mom works at.They actually make fresh food a little bland maybe but very healthy.
I don’t think American kids would eat this to begin with...
when japanese prison food is better than my daily food in germany ^^
would like to eat japanese food here but its expensive because there arent a lot selling it and its always import from japan :S
i hate my life in germany xD
Why do prisoners eat better food than I do?
True
Impressive Tree Damn you broke
Cuz they still human
Cause you're lazy. Their food isn't expensive. It just takes time to prepare it. Do it.
Harsh life
Them: How was it being locked up in Japan?
Me: It was ...Abashitty.
That's funny coming from you. I read it in your voice. :)
LMFAO
Not funny
I've lived in Japan for 15 years and recently I've been arrested when I was renewing my driver license because I forgot to renew my residency card (my working visa), which lasts for 5 years and it was expired by 6 months... I know that's dumb to forget that, but it's not like I would have any reason to not renew it on purpose as I still had the same job. I went to a detention house（留置場）in Tsukishima (Tokyo bay area) for 2 days. It's not a prison（刑務所）so I expected it to be less harsh but after watching a few videos here about prisons in Japan I can tell it was actually worse.
I had an empty cell with nothing I can bring in and absolutely nothing to do except reading a book during the day (books they lend are taken away after 8pm). I couldn't even remove the clothes I was given and use it as a cushion to sleep cos it is considered suspicious (apparently) and had to sleep with the lights on and it's forbiden to hide his face from the light. No way to smoke (I'm quite a heavy smoker) so I just couldnt sleep at all (about 4 hours in the whole 2 days). They checked my whole body for anything I could hide, even my mouth. The food was really awful, the books they had were mostly in japanese but a few were in other languages, but pretty bad...
I speak fluently japanese so that wasn't an issue for me, but everything, all the rules were so harsh it looked as if I killed someone or tried to escape the prison previously, given the amount of security and precautions taken around me. There are 2 baths per week so I went once, and that's the only time I could meet other inmates who looked like yakuzas (they had a lot of tatoos). Having a TV or a smartphone, or my own books as I saw in the videos about prisons in Japan would have been a huge improvement. Here at the detention house I was almost in complete isolation in an empty room, no way to see outdoor. Once per day you can go out of the cell for 3min, just to do some exercise but you actually don't really have the time to do so. You go to a room which is half outside but you can't even see outdoor or the sky. You are not allowed to do anything and you are called by a number and never by your name.
It's odd that there was a reminder about the driving license renewal but none for the visa, considering the amount of punishment you get if you forget it... So again I know it's dumb to forget but still...
Now I'm still under conditional release and I'm not allowed to continue working until the procedure ends (that is until I get my visa). And it's been already one month...
PS: I've been back to work since January 2019, 3 months after the arrest and everything is fine now.
Thank you for sharing your story sir hope you can get back to work soon
Sounds more like it.
All the best.
頑張れー
All the best. Thank you for delivering the truth rather than these fucked up propagandas, leading us to believe how that prison cells are much better than most homes every middle class man stays in. Anyways I hope you find your job
thnk you for sharing ur experience ! I hope you get over it soon
seriously wtf though, the cell looks better than my dorm room in college.
Honestly and its BIGGER lmfao. My mom brother and sister helped me scrub my dorm clean when I first moved in. There were holes in the wall I couldn't see so by August I had giant cockroaches flying around my dorm and there were lice coming from the holes near the pipe under my sink lmao. in my DORM.
@@shhhh6174 I will rather die
To be honest,the cell is better and tidier than my room.
Cost of Food in Japanese prisons $6.75 - $7.75
Cost of food in US prisons, $0.56 - $1.77
Incarceration Rate per 100,000 population:
Japan, 41
United States, 655
Clearly, the cost of food and food quality pales by comparison in the US.
good observation
well Japan doesn't have black people so ofc they aren't gonna have as many people in prison
Much Squeak true that, don't forget about some Hispanics and a handful of whites. Them Asians don't hurt nobody
@@muchsqueak9239 that is slightly racist.
Another excellent video John! Love your story telling.
Thank you Eric! Hope to catch up with you one of these days amigo!
GET SOME
I wish i ate that good for sure! Fantastic video thanks for sharing. Stay awesome!
ramsessilent Like I said, he PAID for that. They’re going to make it tasty. I doubt it’s like that for prisoners. It’s probably something similar but downgraded.
ramsessilent I don't mind living in japan prison
You call it a hard life... I call it a steady job with three square meals.
I've read about Japanese prison in a novel. The shared cell actually matches the description. Also long time inmates had some monthly gatherings with a bit better food. According to the novel, the food served were bland but usually well balanced. The solitary confinement situation were a lot worse.
The food may be good in a Japanese prison, but I know in some Norwegian prisons life is actually pretty good. I'd imagine they'd be fed quite good as well.
Syrup_Johnson Norwegian prison life is like going to 3 star hotel with taxpayers paying it for free, and it all depends how "bad" your crime is tbh
The prison is more like a hotel 😂😂
A hotel for prisoners 😂
Except work for 8 hours total.
Me in Japan: “you are sentenced to 2 years”
Me: okay, thank you, your honor 🙏🏼
Very interesting how the culture of a society is reflected in the way it punishes criminals. Next episode looks really interesting too!
Yoshie Shiratori : ight, imma head out
Im moving to japan..
Che Wan Mohd Marzuki I agree with you, Japan is doing far better then America on every level including prison.
You gotta do the crime too
Conor Mcgregor Raped Khabib racist crap
Save yourself some money just fly to Japan and commit a level I felony
No thank you.
Okay the dubbed in voices while the mannequins were eating was hilarious. "better than my wife's cooking."
It was a very interesting to see how those prisoners lived & I was surprised to see the prison food looked pretty good !
Something that I would love to eat everyday! Thought you don’t want to escape during the winter 🤧
Thank you for the great video John !
Logan Paul should be eating this
Sky MAC you look like a 6 yr old
True
Sky MAC you never saw a woman naked
Subscribed! Love Japan. Great channel.
That prison had a better budget than my high school.
The meals in this video are healthier than my meals at home
I pay for daikon and grilled mackerel! I love that stuff.
WoW better than the states
Prison food could charge $14.99 as a lunch special in nyc
The reason things are like this in Japan and there’s practically no violence in these prisons is because the guards treat them with respect. These prisons are designed to have the inmate rehabilitated. Japan believes in every member of their population contributing to society. They don’t believe because someone made a mistake they’re a bad person, unlike USA.
Yeah, finally a main channel video! love these, hey john i didn't receive an youtube notification for this video.
I know about it thanks to instagram..
Kapiletti the notifications were quite late. My mother got hers 19 hours later >_< so I’ll keep doing Instagram PUBLISH BUTTON episodes right before I click go! Thanks for being a part of the Instagram page too! -John
it make sense since they are less criminal in japan than america where you could afford these meal. I think Denmark, Finland, etc. prison food is pretty good too.
*This is awesome and original! Great video!!!*
Remember, this is for tourists. Actual prison is a lot worst then this
here in Indonesia in most of the prisons they still serving watery rice it's almost like porridge / congee.. with veggie dishes (something like spinach / cassava leaves / papaya leaves, vegetables soup/stir fried, etc) + tempeh / firm tofu dishes (or just simply fried it), & eggs dishes.. "what about the taste?" you better bring your own seasoning
It is like an expensive health retreat.
This is why japan is ahead of us compare the prison food from your place to japan
This much better food then from América prisons.
I got 15 minutes to eat my old cereal bars and probably expired cheese sticks in highschool, are you kidding me? Someone lock me up in japan!
I'm going to prison in Japan . Packing my bags right now
4:46
My brother live in a room about the same size as this.... WE BROKE :(
They eat better food than me and live in a better place than me...my new target: I'll became a criminal in japan muahaha
Love your channel
That’s not how the food really was. That’s a spiced up fancy version for tourists.
If every cell has a computer and WIFI, it will be perfect. lol 😂
You know, quality food? Quality food actually helps prisoners to starve off the misery without smoking or getting involved with contraband.
YEAHhhhh WAY better then my wife cooking .
1,000,000,000 Like shame
I hope your wife doesn’t watch these videos
*than
1,000,000,000 Like -broke white boy
1,000,000,000 Like as if have you

Wth this is probably better than most school food in the US😤
logan wont suffer much at least
LOL
This food is better than what I’m eating right now
tokyo fuchu prison has the best curry, i heard.but for tasting you need to be in jail first. because they don't serve out of jail.
If I ever go to Japan & get into trouble & be locked up then I wouldn’t worry knowing that There will be free delicious food better than airline food
Dying in cell in Japan is better than dying alone inside apartment for 10 month for anyone to notice that you are dead
Great video! The voices were on par lol
Prisoners eat better than I eat in Japan after being a robotic professor in Japan
Better then in Hostel of an engineering college in India..
India lol
I would try to Rob an ATM just to have food in the Japanese jail 🤣🤣
gotta go to this place! keep up the great place on your videos
Sorry but the jokes were lame.
Wish they were not there.
I love that about him!!!
nasiba wasim but he’s not funny, Americans are not funny, just as Germans or French are not funny, unlike the British who are.
@@maigo6 yeah they are...... funny in the head.
MickeyPattaya i see
MickeyPattaya okay Be in your ugly rainy britain meanwhile im on my sunny california 😎☀️
The architectural layout is like kala paani or cellular jail in Andaman and Nicobar , India
When I was in Japanese prison for 77 days I got three raw fish heads and one bowl of rice a day.
Prison food in Japan is better than my school food.
I just came here hoping that you would say something about Yoshie shiratori
Japan prison food is way better than in-flight meals for most airlines
This guy basically glamorized this japanese prison smh....although this could just be a farce because it's televised
*when the japanese prison food is better than american school food*
Wheres abashitty?
I hope you can vlog about CHILD CARE FACILITIES in Japan for abused or abandoned children.
What Japanese Prison soap s Like tho ?
We all should learn from the Japanese
if we all ate such japanese prison food, we'd all be healthy. and it would solve so many problems...healthcare...etc..
Lucky no one can really see them pee
Minus 10 degrees lol thats a warm day for me
What is shown to the public and what actually is can be very different.
True
I met a guy who was imprisoned 2 weeks in japan. The way he described it is nowhere near this video
My pov exactly!!! Is it even true?!
Vigil ur in the wrong country
agreed false propaganda. People used to tell germans that ppl were just being "relocated" and videos shows a gym a cafe ect in the camps. I seriously doubt they're serving food that tastey
*Time to go be a criminal in Japan*
i will joy jou
Not really. Japanese prisons are clean and the food may be OK, but there is a reason why Amnesty and others are all over the "rest" of the system.
I hear the Yakuza are taking applications
Japanese prisons are extremely dehumanising. To name a few, you cannot talk or socialize, your cell is not heated/cooled and the lights are not turned off, you must do work, you must March, you must face the wall.
And if you are bad enough to be on death row, you are not notified of the date of execution, so you must spend everyday in dread.
So no, prison life, in any country, is not fun.
Ha Ha
Not only do the meals look delicious, the prison cell also looks like a pretty cozy studio.
That's is rare in japanese prison. I think your getting confused with the american prison system.
With TV!
Lala Exactly!
Except I would much prefer a modern smart flat screen color TV rather than a grayscale CRT device that appears to date back to circa 1970 to 1985.
No windows to the outside is kinda creepy and sad though.
Logan Paul would've eaten pretty well
Bob the builder Ok Lmaoo.
That's really true. I hope he goes back to Japan and gets locked up :)
the prison looks better than my apartment...
Nicha Kiatkorsuk 7
N
Ohhh if you dont like ypur apartament come to my house i have 3 rooms and live alone
Prison looks better than my slutty girlfriend
It looks better than my mini mansion which is only 200 square feet.
The prison life is better than a homeless life
But they don’t have a option
homeless in japan life a alright life
No joke, that is part of the reason repeat offenders continue the cycle going in and out of prison
poco f1 And most Japanese prefer homeless life than prison life which is much better... That's really amazing.
They have to work to stay in prison, you think your meal and accommodation is free??
The cells are so nice, they look like College dorms
Actually better than my dorm room
Max Power its alot better than my college dorm.. sigh
adhisty prastica
The toilet in that cell is just separated by thin wall. Your dorm are worse than that?
probably is
Aditya Wicaksono yes it is .. as pathetic as sound..
Don't be fooled. Even salt looks like sugar.
Even cocaine looks like salt.
What a beautiful saying :D
Herlita Elisabeth they dont
multifandom trash cocaine actually looks nothing like salt :p
@@gabrielantos4144 how did you know?
my mate was in a japanese prison a year ago in solitary and he said he only got rice and a boiled egg for every meal every day. that place you went to, they playing ya~
That was in solitary. You do not want to try it in the U.S.
If your mate is in a Japanese prison then I've been to Mars and the food is yuck!
Exactly. Japanese prisons are run like labor camps. People believe whatever they see.
@@yaz2928 So you have been in one and know?
@@harrymcnicholas9468 I have watched several documentaries on the horrors of Japanese prisons so yes I'm quite aware of what goes on in them. Meanwhile gullible fools like you believe they know Japanese prisond based off a propaganda museum, how pathetic. Russia should do a Gulag museum too and fill it with luxurious foods like caviar and nice big beds with TVs, it'll fool the people like you who fall for anything they see.
Japanese prisons are a horror show. The only decent prisons in the world are in Scandinavia where you get decent hot food and TVs/PS3/books, etc.
The prison food in Japan looks better and is more nutritious than my school's food
Poor Isabella... Lemme give ya a Hug !
Btw, got great street food on my channel do check me out :)
If any school in America served the same meal every single day of the year to the children, you can be there would be a huge outcry. This meal is also mostly carbohydrate fillers with very little protein or green vegetables and no dairy - which makes it lacking in nutrition. If you think that's better for children, you are delusional.
No one is arguing that fish doesn't have nutritional benefits. I'm sure eating fish 3 times a day every day is making Japanese prisoner's brilliant though.
Isabella Wesley right!
Corvid76 4:29 didn’t you see this?Meals are different for breakfast lunch and dinner it also looks like each day has a different set of meals.
they ate better than some poor seniors in a nursing home
barb towner most or all actually
barb towner well not nursing homes in Japan, watch a documentary and you will see how good they have it there, not neglected and living on a £ a day, this is real civilisation 😎😎😎
barb towner * Stop the stereotyping. Long term care facility food is great! Volunteer and make things better if you feel improvements are needed. Stop being a negative complainer.
I've worked in a nursing home and that food is better. But nursing home food isn't horrible.
Why the mannequins all sound like Jersey mobsters though 😂😂😎
Carolyn Sloan haha! My friend Peter who did that said he was inspired by Buddy Hacket, a comedian.
Lmao!!!!
Sounds like one of those anime dubs
Carolyn Sloan Ha ha. You made me laugh honey.
Carolyn Sloan
That prison cell would go for at least 2k per month in San Fran. The meal would go for about $30
i could say that for new york city as well or even inner tokyo! proximity to expensive things makes your land expensive among other things
and its safer too!
A lot more interesting than i would have imagined. The food looks delicious I would be happy to even be able to pay for that meal near where i live.
Nosh Abroad i think its only good on camera. The real stuff is like dog food.
Ilsunny Lo honestly, if it was garbage, I would have said so. It was surprisingly better than I thought it would be. The Prison Food cut outs / graphics are from the actual prison down the road. It’s the same quality. I don't think it was decades ago.
Nosh Abroad......Hey Brother! ☺️ The whole time I was watching John eat Meal Set B, I was thinking “geez, I pay good money for that meal” at my local restaurant. That’s exactly what I order, and pay upwards of $15.00 for. Lol!
+Ilsunny Lo and how would you know?
@Angela Fortich hello
When the Japanese prison food tastes better and is healthier than American school food =/
Ww2
My school food is pretty decent i ain't gonna lie
My school has some nice breakfast ngl
Can’t say the same about the lunch though.
this a prison... or a resort?
Lol
XD
Neither, it is a museum.
Research statements of what actual prisons in Japan are like.
being slowly worked to death by endless grueling hard labor? What kind of resorts do you go to!?
It's a prison resort
I don't even eat three meals a day
with a labor that hard, you will
Mexxron Fidds medium is good
array s really creative I think what you mean is to do a crime and get 3 meals a day right?
😂😂😂😂😂
Pastel Pigicorn I stop eating 3 meal a day ever since I graduated from high school 6-7 years ago.
lmafao
This video is propaganda. Real prisoners in Japan are treated like slaves and forced to work. People are so gullible.
Well duh they commited crime so they need to work and introspect on their mistakes.
Who decided that?
Sai Sai lol
you have to work outside of jail too, or you are a criminal
Sorry but where is that infos you get from mr sir
Their food is better than what I eat on a daily basis.
What I normally eat in a day: Chicken noodle soup, chicken nuggets, some weetbix, juice or water.
Don't worry. I think i'm okay. Apart from feeling dizzy most of the time I feel good. I wouldn't say i eat large amounts of it but just a normal amount.
my thoughts lol
Omg same . I eat instant noodles all day. Am I dying inside ? Yes. But I love instant food.
Well, you literally are a trash receptacle. Is that surprising to you?
That’s is not a prison, that’s Five Star Hotel.
Nadir Yusuf 2 1/2 or just 1/2
Go spend a day there, I bet you won't survive it as well as you think.
Nadir Yusuf way better then a hotel breakfast
Nadir Yusuf 😂😂😂
You wanna se a five star Prison( all prisons) then come visit us in Denmark, lol.
Friend of mine was just in jail in Tokyo(some stranger sent drugs to his hotel, random accidental mishap) for a month and he said it was umeboshi and chicken meatballs on rice every meal every day, the guards were super mean and beat people daily, they had 3-4 people per room on tatami, and only got one hour a week “outside” time to see the sky. Legally held him for a month trying to see if they could make a case through investigation and let him out upon realizing they sent the drugs to the wrong person, whoever sent them! Ha! He said it was absolutely horrible
Great now I have a new phobia
I wouldn't mind it's way better than American prisons lol also a good way to make some Yakuza connections.
@@rc59191 yeah I had another friend who did years at a spot right outside El Paso, in “Anthony New Mexico” and he said that they were served rotten and moldy food daily, and that there were so many cockroaches, that there would be hundreds if not thousands in your room and when lights went out you couldn’t touch the walls or they would crawl all over you!!! Had another friend stay there a couple years and confirmed that story for me as well!!
@@bowley4 that doesn't surprise me especially since we started making prisons a for profit business. Nobody cares about inmate living conditions even if they were in there for something bs like non violent drug offenses.
I was held in jail for 15 days and interrogated on a false accusation. I can confirm firm it’s terrible
This makes me sick, who fact checks content on UA-cam anyway? I got proof man, I was in Kurihama kimushiyo(prison) in yokosuka prefecture and they are lying, this atrocious, they commit human rights violations behind prison walls there and silence anyone who dares try to speak up. All my letters to USA embassy and California state congressmen were all monitored and never sent out in the mail. The day I was released from prison, the warden gave them all back to me. 29 to be infact!
How did u get arrested
@ciga daze bad bait
Lmao the audacity you have to complain. You did something wrong and you were rightfully jailed. No once cares what they did to you inside.
lmfao, most of the people in this replies are people who think light yagami was doing the world a favor
@ciga daze u don’t even know why he was in jail which doesn’t even matter. The point of the matter prisons in Japan aren’t some luxury hotel like this dude says.
Eating better than America’s middle class.........
Fierag So true!!!!!!!!
Fierag so true
What middle class?
Gavin Macpherson-Smith pls stfu
Gavin Macpherson-Smith you’re so clueless you completely missed the point 🤣
I wish I was in that prison this is better than new York highschool lunch food
Destiny duhh trust me u don't want to be in prison..
What do u get for lunch?
Destiny duhh you would also have to do 12 hrs of grunt work
Uupss
People complain about the food, but once they hit the real world, they start reminiscing about the food cause now they have to start paying for food. It was free for many people, but even if you had to pay, it was less expensive and probably healthier than stuff at the price range.
Considering the hours they work it's wise to feed them well.
Sidean CG Working AND getting fed?! Dream come true!
Not like they're getting payed lol
Jawan Meizu well they are in prison. So getting feed well is a big deal.
Sidean CG Living a life where you have full control by yourself & no one tells you what to do except for family & the people you work with at your job. These meals look great to eat, but they have full control over your life.
Did you actually look at the work schedule? We work more hours a day in California.
is it sad I'd feel a lot safer, eat a lot better and be a more productive human being in prison in Japan than being free where I live? LOL!
Niki Horner you should move out North korea
😂 I should shouldn't I?
Niki Horner that's pretty sad if you ask me 😕 where do you live ?

This video is incredibly ill informed and distasteful. Yikes.

What is the reality?
Real Japanese prisons are just the same as prisons from other countries. This is just propaganda.
@Craig Laycox This is a museum. Theyre not going to give prison food to people. Japanese prisons are just like every other prison, this is pure propaganda to make Japanese law system seem humane, when in reality is it very flawed and harsh just like the US. The meal is an upgraded version of prison food, usually prisoners just get rice and tea, in order to keep them borderline healthy enough to perform labor. Their cells also are mostly empty.
@Craig Laycox he's telling the truth if you look up Japanese prison documentary you'll see that he's telling the truth look it up right now I dare you
Welp, I'm going to jail now.
Tv. Private toilet area, Nice bed, electric, clean room, awesome food... That's punishment? Lot of people in America don't live that well.
Well. The strict lifestyle and the lack of other freedoms might be enough of a deterrent. They say that crime rates are low in Japan for a reason I think. Then again, other sources say there is some sort of vast corruption going on?
My country (Germany) specifically warns all travelers to Japan about the harsh conditions in Japanese prisons.
I don't think people here are realizing how inhumane the prison system is in Japan. Not in terms of amenities/food obviously, but do some research into the typical day of a prisoner in Japan. Your entire day consists more or less of being forced to kneel/sit/stand silently in a room facing a wall for hours and hours not being allowed any interaction. You're looked down on as less than human with 0 emphasis or even effort for rehabilitation (yes, I know the US prison system isn't great either) and have more or less no freedom.
end up in thailands prison lol
TIL japanese prisoners eat better than US grad students.
E Z stfu
E Z lol took the words right out of my mouth. I am a grad student.
shut up and eat your mac n cheese
