the old lady, when she said that the noodles taste better cause of water and...her beauty XD she's adorable, I like her attitude because that means that they don't only have delicious food but also a warming service for customers, I want to go there!!!!
It's not fear that makes them shorter, it's the time to make it and get it out to you. I have been letting them go longer though :) but I should probably make the shows a little tighter. It's hard to edit yourself -- I want to keep EVERYTHING in but I'm getting better at seeing the content more objectively. -john
ONLY in JAPAN Got it! I understand a little bit more now. Maybe someday you could make a "lost footage" or "bloopers" video series where you use some of the footage from the past that you didn't want to include in your standard episodes. Either way, I'll keep watching because your show is amazing and you are a very entertaining host. :) Thanks for the reply, btw!!
I'm Japanese, and I came to Australia when I was small. I always watch your videos, and I found that Japan is more beautiful than it is, if you see it from the outside. Thanks so much for your videos! xx
This exemplifies one of Japan’s greatest traits. The desire to do something to one’s best ability even if it’s something seemingly simple and to take great pride and satisfaction in doing so. It’s a simple but beautiful philosophy.
She was the star! Loved talking with her. She refused my money when I wanted to pay -- called me her guest. I was surprised a lot of foreign tourists are finding this spot too. It must be in some guide books. She has been learning English to try to communicate and it makes the experience so much more fun. Thanks for watching it!! -john
I absolutely love this restaurant. It's so relaxed, so informal. Getting to go back into the kitchen that way, picking your ingredients - It's like going to your grandmother's house for dinner. This is what family pride looks like. Fabulous. I would love to find a place like that here in the States. Thanks for including us, John.
I binge watch your videos! I have never been to Japan but now I really would love to visit. Thanks for sharing all of this information, really awesome stuff
+ONLY in JAPAN hey dude your videos are getting a good amount of views and stuff but most guys don't comeback after watching your vids.. I recommend eating your food like Mark Wiens it's obvious that, that guy does those mouth chewing things to make it look satisfying. so try something like that :P
Yes John!! I've been waiting, your videos for some reason give me a peaceful sense of mind and comfort. I think it's cause I really like the feel of Japanese culture and you seem to show it off quite well.
I love the self service style of the 1st shop, it makes you feel like you're in a family environment even getting the food directly from the kitchen =)
John I just want to say I love your videos so much! They give me so much info on this very different country, judging that I live in America. All these cool places you show us are amazing! I just wish I could go there right now! So thank you John!!!!!
li wu Many high end restaurants don't wear gloves. Usually the only time people in restaurants wear gloves is in fast food chains. Also, gloves can carry bacteria as well.
much respect for the lady in the udon shop protecting her husbands family legacy. she is a good woman and good wife and deserves as much happiness as the gods she worships can give her and her family.
Jhon sir i just love your videos. I think you are the best who can explore japan. Awesome videos. keep doimg and explore japan in a new way. I just want to visit japan as soon as possible.
One of My favorite foods is Udon. Udon is a white noodle made from wheat flour. It is thick and soft. We can make noise when eating these noodles. Slurping when we eat hot Udon helps prevent us from burning our tongue
Yeah, I live in The Netherlands near a university and the last couple of years there has been an influx of students coming from China. So in my neighbourhood an Asian toko opened and they sell vacuum packaged udon, I really love the texture of those thick noodles.
My mom never ever watch tv but ever since I introduced your channel she watch you every night with me we ate edemame. Thank you for your inspiration I just had my first trip to Japan about two months ago, and my mom just bought a big tv to watch your video before bedtime every night. I am 9 years old. And I love your videos! thank you.
so happy to see a new upload and about my favourite subject too: food!! :D i'm guessing this is the first out of the five episodes you shot. looking forward for the next one!
john! i always wait for your videos, its amazing how you can show such amazing culture like japan In short theme videos, ive watch every single vid, so next time ill go japan i know what to explore and were to go for food hahaha! keep vids comming! love your channel
One of my sister's favorite noodle. Udon gives sense of feelings of satisfaction when eaten. The warm soup stock also makes your stomach comfortable. People with sensitive stomach can easily enjoy it.
Hello , John Daub ,Iam from India and I love japan from when i use to see cartoons and now after seeing your show , i love it more..... ,i have seen almost all the episodes .............and i have become great fan you
GANESH NIRANJAN thank you Ganesh! It's awesome that you're building love for Japan through the videos. Hope you can make it for a visit! Where in India do you live? My mum's from Mumbai. I'm going back there sometime this winter for a visit! -John
Oh its nice Sir , generally my hometown is in Telangana , but as iam pursing my btech degree from IIT Bhubaneswar so presently iam living in Bhubaneswar , Orissa........... and in winter mostly i will stay here in campus............. :) , and thanks for your reply sir, iam really greatful............
Woo this video is as always awesome as the others. I really like the videos you upload. Thanks for uploading these videos John.. You actually helped me for having a interest in Japan ありがとう！ ... Ohh yea I forgot which is your favourite うどん or ラメン？ PLEASE ANSWER JOHN! 👋
Udon!! I love the variety of tempura and that onsen tamago. It also fills me up and I don't feel so heavy an hour later. Really happy to read that the videos helped you build an interest in Japan! Hope you can come for a visit to this amazing place someday! -john
Oh my gosh! I haven't been in Japan for a couple years now and miss the noodle houses. Always stopped for ramen or udon on the way back to the hotel after drinks. Best beer food ever. Mike
This makes me miss Japan so much, I remember being several times almost overwhelmed by how great the broths taste in those small, family run restaurants. And the great atmosphere too, even if I was a slow eater, people still chatted with me and told me to take my time. The speed with which they eat is something that would cause my stomach to break I fear lol. Is there any research on whether this affects them in any way to not chew the food at all?
Carine E. Right! The small family places owe their livelihood to making it. Their reputation is important and you'll never get a bad bowl. There really is an extra element of love -- tastes better at Miyagawa's maybe because you feel that connection with the owner / chef. -John
Lmao when he tried the sardines he goes "eh, it's fish" I recall Peter Barakan from Japanology saying pretty much saying the same thing when he went here
Sometimes it's the simplest food that has the most passion and family tradition with it. Family run Udon places feel like they have the same passion in them as the great European family run bakeries, it's that same love and dedication to the craft.
hahaha!! There are some good places in the airport in Tokyo as well as right off the plane in Takamatsu!! You don't have to wait long for an udon fix!! -J
Why don't have a TV Show already seriously the quality of the video is amazing the work you put in i have watched you over the years and each video has something that makes its special !
Loved the episode John! I had ramen before but I never had udon. I always imagined it to be very similar to ramen. I look forward to get the chance to try udon in the future! Is that Carlos in the next episode? If yes I cannot wait. He is so funny!
It's actually very different i'd say! Surprisingly, Udon is a lot more light opposed to ramen, as the broth for ramen tends to be very oily and heavy. I hope you try a bowl soon!
Wait the minute, I saw this scene before (8:27) once in your older video. It's from the Square watermelon video ua-cam.com/video/O4NsaILbsaI/v-deo.html (and it's the same exact scene lel). I knew it you weren't there just to get a lunch haha.
YES!! Great memory. I shot this the same time (and the same town) at the square watermelons. When the farmers told me about Miyagawa's udon, I had to visit and she was simply an amazing person. The udon was of course delicious!! :P good catch -john
my grandmother is from Japan and really miss it from living and visiting it there when she was younger, now that she's older she can't travel on airplanes and miss Japan so much we watch your videos and she loves it. they have bonded us closer and closer thank you!! you should do a vlog
I love these type of video, it’s very educational and entraining at the same time and your narration is spot on Only suggestion is maybe Show US Dollars too like your other video
I've watched almost all your videos, and I got to say.. I'm really impressed with all the quality and content you bring us. Easily one of my favorite channels to watch.As always I'll be looking forward to your next video.

2OOTH like
I love how the owner tries to speak English with him. Great effort
Don't be afraid to make the episodes longer! I love this show and want more of it all the time. xD
It's not fear that makes them shorter, it's the time to make it and get it out to you. I have been letting them go longer though :) but I should probably make the shows a little tighter.

@@Bakeshop040 that's impossible
There are no mistakes
That woman must be a national treasure. She is awesome.
I'm Japanese, and I came to Australia when I was small.
I always watch your videos, and I found that Japan is more beautiful than it is, if you see it from the outside.
Thanks so much for your videos! xx
I seriously hope her daughter will continue her mother tradition.
This exemplifies one of Japan’s greatest traits. The desire to do something to one’s best ability even if it’s something seemingly simple and to take great pride and satisfaction in doing so. It’s a simple but beautiful philosophy.
HER DAUGHTER BETTER KEEP THAT FAMILY TRADITION GOING!!! (No pressure)
Katie D she *will*
Just like that episode of We Bare Bears!!! Except in this case with Udon!!!😋🍜😋🍜😋🍜
@4iber simp
@4iber pathetic
@4iber What country tho
Another great video John, love the interview with the elderly lady, she's adorable.
She was the star! Loved talking with her. She refused my money when I wanted to pay -- called me her guest. I was surprised a lot of foreign tourists are finding this spot too.

I really like the obachan! =D She's so passionate and cute! Thank you for John for interviewing her!!!
that middle aged udon lady is so adorable ... :)
I think she'd be thrilled to be called middle aged -- me, not so much :P hahaha Thanks for watching! -john
So Cute!! Lol middle-aged.
I binge watch your videos! I have never been to Japan but now I really would love to visit. Thanks for sharing all of this information, really awesome stuff
Joshua zuelke thank you so much for the really nice comment, Joshua!! -John

We only need one person on the internet who chews like a nutcracker, and that's too much already
Can't contain my excitement when I realise there's a new video by John! Again, another awesome video!
Yes John!! I've been waiting, your videos for some reason give me a peaceful sense of mind and comfort. I think it's cause I really like the feel of Japanese culture and you seem to show it off quite well.

It's my pleasure and I'm very happy the show is getting watched and enjoyed by hungry people everywhere :D please come for a visit soon!! -john
ONLY in JAPAN no problem!
I'm from Cali and I love watching your videos ! Keep them coming !
My family and I always watch every video you put out! Love them and keep them coming 🙌🏻😁
Love hearing that :) so thankful for it. I'll try to keep em coming! Next one is almost done, too. -john
ONLY in JAPAN 😱 thanks for the response John!
li wu extra flavor broooooo😉
li wu How do you think sushi are made? No sushi chef will ever use a plastic glove.
li wu Many high end restaurants don't wear gloves. Usually the only time people in restaurants wear gloves is in fast food chains. Also, gloves can carry bacteria as well.
The quality of your work is tremendous.... Great video
あと何年できるか分からないけど、背中を見て学んだものをまた背中で残そうとしてる魂がかっこいいおばちゃん。
Nothing better than food right from a local & freshly made. Great video. :)
Though I am a Japanese, I have not been to Kagawa!
The udon of Kagawa is delicious and very cheap!
I go with a friend sometime! ！！
Go commit hiroshima
You will get fat after eating too much udon
yuchen qian John says that udon is healthier for you
So did you go
Such a warm oba-san and she doesn't seem like she's putting up a pretense.
Great video as usual John! These need to be put on TV somewhere in the world. Can't wait for the next
Hamon Frog if
He works at japan national tv networks
Respect to the elder woman at the end speaking about protecting her practice and tradition. Heartfelt words from a soul that is true to their craft.
much respect for the lady in the udon shop protecting her husbands family legacy. she is a good woman and good wife and deserves as much happiness as the gods she worships can give her and her family.
Agreed
I love udon. So under appreciated next to ramen.
Yōjinbō 用心棒 very very true!

Jhon sir i just love your videos. I think you are the best who can explore japan. Awesome videos. keep doimg and explore japan in a new way. I just want to visit japan as soon as possible.
Thank you so much! -j
I will give my respect for that lady! She is so proud and hardworker!
You're my hero, love the videos. Reminding me of my goal to move back some day. Keep up the great work.
I think I could eat udon every day. Love your videos John. Keep up the great work.
Love the food episodes. Already looking forward to the Shinjuku food alley one. Now to figure out where I'm going to get some udon from.
I just love Japanese people ..culture..philosophy ...food and work ethic! So much to learn ..thank you for sharing.
Oh I like the old lady: "why is the noodle so delicious, oh it's cause I'm hot...." hahahah
Grandmas are universally loving persons! (and the best chefs!)
Janice M. Delgado Díaz absolutely!! All that experience means super delicious cooking!
Holy crap! Man I'm very surprised, your Japanese is really good! I'm Japanese and I understood every single thing you said! Good job and keep it up!
this is hands down the best channel on UA-cam. I get excited every time I see a new video. keep up all the great work! :)
One of My favorite foods is Udon. Udon is a white noodle made from wheat flour. It is thick and soft. We can make noise when eating these noodles. Slurping when we eat hot Udon helps prevent us from burning our tongue
I think I'll pass on the bukkake udon unless I really like the chef.

I want to see the bloopers footage... like when you drop your camera into the udon :P

Hi, why not do some more collaborations? you were a good guest 👍
Are you seriously for that msInternationalybeauty ?hahaha!

The thing I love most about Japan and it's people is the care and effort into their craft.
素晴らしいですね！香川にも来てくれていたんですね😊時間が出来たらまた香川に来てください😁
There is so much passion and joy in you John. I hope you know that.
Love this! I actually prefer udon to ramen, luckily I can find it in NYC pretty easily.
Really? I'll have to try NYC udon next time I go home. I'd no idea Japanese food had grown in popularity! I wonder how it compares ...
Yeah, I live in The Netherlands near a university and the last couple of years there has been an influx of students coming from China. So in my neighbourhood an Asian toko opened and they sell vacuum packaged udon, I really love the texture of those thick noodles.

Favier Wei five seikan lol
Favier, English and Japanese are both spoken in Japan, so, it's not new..
Yeah they speak two different languages so funny lol 😂
I'm dying!
They speak two different languages HAHAHAHAHA
SO FUCKING FUNNY AM I RIGHT
Favier Wei she spoke half Japanese and half english😂
haha she even said "pay after eating"
I think this channel is my new favorite for food videos.
One of my favorite episodes from you yet. Love udon.

I'm watching this while here in the States eating my own home-made bowl of Udon noodles, prepared to taste (spicy) of course :D
i think this shop deserves more attention,
Lmao when he tried the sardines he goes "eh, it's fish" I recall Peter Barakan from Japanology saying pretty much saying the same thing when he went here
Mmm...udon are my favorite. Love the thick, doughy texture.
keep up the quality content!
Sometimes it's the simplest food that has the most passion and family tradition with it. Family run Udon places feel like they have the same passion in them as the great European family run bakeries, it's that same love and dedication to the craft.

Whats the purpose of your visit sir? I CAME HERE FOR THE DAMN UDON xD
hahaha!! There are some good places in the airport in Tokyo as well as right off the plane in Takamatsu!! You don't have to wait long for an udon fix!! -J

Excellent take on udon. People in Japan know their history and brand. Need to see more of that in Hong Kong.
Loved the episode John! I had ramen before but I never had udon. I always imagined it to be very similar to ramen. I look forward to get the chance to try udon in the future!

It's actually very different i'd say! Surprisingly, Udon is a lot more light opposed to ramen, as the broth for ramen tends to be very oily and heavy. I hope you try a bowl soon!
I really like curry udon with either a side of tonkatsu or shrimp tempura.
So interesting,John,especially seen a family keeping their tradition in a world that preaches speed!
I LOVE TEMPURA
This channel deserves to have more subscribes!! Truely amazing
Wait the minute, I saw this scene before (8:27) once in your older video. It's from the Square watermelon video ua-cam.com/video/O4NsaILbsaI/v-deo.html (and it's the same exact scene lel). I knew it you weren't there just to get a lunch haha.
