Thanks for watching guys! How are you liking BEJ EATS so far? Also, you can find all the information for visiting Soul Food House in the video description. Don’t forget to like the video if you liked it and share it with soul food lovers worldwide 😋 👊🏾🙏🏿
Trust me. As an African-American who lives here in Japan, you have no idea how deep they have integrated black culture. It's incredible and don't believe what you see on American TV. It's nowhere near the truth. Japanese people love our culture and really embrace us as human beings.
When I hear soul food, I'm there to check it out. To many people think soul food is only lots of butter, seasoned salt and pepper. It's hard to find legit soul food now-a-days. My granny passed at 96yrs, uncle 94yrs, great gran at close to 90yrs, and great grandpa late 80yrs so I grew up with the original flavors of Louisiana and southern soul food.
Growing up in PA we ate grits a lot as part of our Sunday Breakfast. They are good with butter and pepper with eggs and bacon on the side. Thanks for sharing your experience.
This lovely lady seems ready to feed us up well, with a big heart. And that’s before I heard her describe the big mama special. I will visit when I can come to Japan.
I really enjoyed this! I would love to visit Japan one of these days!!! My daughter is only 10 and amazed with this country. How can we navigate around Japan and still find black business chains and communities as well as enjoying the other experiences Japan had to offer!!?!?
You will be fine... Ive been to 3 different Asian countries back in the 80s... My son is in South Korea for the past 3 years, but has been traveling Asia for 6 years.....
I’ve visited both Seoul, South Korea and Tokyo, Japan within the last five years and I found the public transportation to be super straightforward and easy to navigate. And if you need assistance, just ask a pedestrian or business.
japan has amazing public transportation as far as metro and buses. english is basically the second language there so all the stops and stations have english names under the japanese ones. even the stops are announced in japanese and english! google maps is your best friend for walking around. it's such a fun place to explore.
Thank you Ranzo for sharing. I will add this foodie place in our bucket list for our visit to Tokyo in January 2023. Will still quality for the ¥10,000. 😁😁😁. Kia ora from Aotearoa NZ
That looks so good! Love catfish and grits as well, although I have not had them together.... Love to see an alternate side to a country with the influences of other cultures. Thoroughly enjoyed this video, Well done.
Yummy food brother Ranzo. I was eating breakfast & glad I did while watching this. It’s great to see other cultures in Japan having restaurants there and definitely a place I like to stop by once I go to Japan one day. I had shrimp & grits by a restaurant in my area & it was delicious! Def curious on the catfish. I really enjoyed the breaded catfish at the restaurant I ate. God bless this incredible restaurant & the couple very incredible & king people they are especially with the Big Mama special.
I'm a black American and I'm going to laugh at you because you never had grits, lol. you're not black American but it still love. I'm about to go get me some Jamaican food right now just for you. when I go to Tokyo I'll be sure to try that spot.
I was joyously tickled when you took your first taste of grits. It is such a favorite here in America especially in the bible belt ( America's southern states). It is sacred food there. Lol. A good plate of grits will make you dance. An amazing plate of grits may make you propose.
Very nice and harmless and pure and godly people! 🐇 God bless you all 🐇 I love how happy, bright, open, nice, and honest your videos are ~! 🦍 Keep up the good work making this world a better place 🍂
Thank you for sharing this! Soul Food Restaurant! Niiiiiiice …. So proud of these restaurant owners and BEJ for his support! Grits “yaaaaaaaaas!” 👍🏽. The fact that they are a not vegan soul food restaurant and include people who embrace a plant-based diet, I appreciate it! I’m pescatarian and embrace a high-plant diet, and I’m proud of them. I’m not big on cheese in my grits, so I’d order without, but I looooove grits ☺️☺️ thx you for sharing this. Thumbs up to you and the owners. It’s becoming hard to find a soul food restaurant here in the USA (Northeast side). I love her mind re: “The Big Mama Special.” What a blessing for those who won’t take that for granted! Hello to Japan!
🤦🏾♀️ Am I the only one up at midnight now hungry after watching this vlog, Man 'O Man!! 😳 My southern aunts made the best grits with onion gravy & steak for breakfast. Up north It's butter, salt, and fresh cracked black pepper with scrambled eggs, bacon/sausage and toast. Shrimp & Grits on Sundays. 😋 🤗😋 As much of a ladies man as Mr. Thornton Prince III, was (he had 5 wives); history never recorded the name of the girlfriend who angrily made him that 1st meal of hot chicken. It's funny that he found an opportunity in what was meant as payback. 🤣💜🤣 😌😏 80 years later and the original Prince's Hot Chicken restaurants are still in the family too.
Grits...a Southern USA food. And not even all of the south. When I moved to Arkansas the grits went up in price and had one flavor!...Northwest Arkansas is trying to tap into midwest culture...it's technically considered the last area of the south before going into the midwest. Yep. But in California the price and flavor variety of grits were the same as Georgia lol 😆 But you can find everyone's cultural food in Cali lol

I love that our culture has made it to countries like this. It’s so cool to see. I’m definitely adding this stop to my itinerary when I visit 😅

This lovely lady seems ready to feed us up well, with a big heart. And that’s before I heard her describe the big mama special. I will visit when I can come to Japan.
I love the new series! The couple who owns this restaurant seem so kind!
Big mama special brought tears 😭 to my eyes! I’ll have to check out this place when I visit Tokyo! 😚
So good to see the family is still there and thriving. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽. Continued blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
If I ever visit Japan, I will visit a support her business. Food looked great!

She’s like a regular black auntie.. wow.. in Japan, a place to feel like home… as a black american
Everyone gotta try soul food at some point. I’ve never tasted any food better in the world than my own family’s soul food.

Ranzo definitely finding his way to mix up two of his passions: Eating and Filming lol
😂
Delicious
Non raw fish in Japan? Refreshing change. 😏
Well, hello there!🤤
I always thought it would be cool to open a soul food restaurant in Japan. Im interested in their marketing and targeted demographic.
I had two bars in Japan
It’s do able
Take some yrs though after Covid-19

Do day pay Nigeria with dollar orJapanese currency if you working in Japan
Do a lot of japanese try it, or mostly americans?
おいしそう！！
God knows your heart. I trust his plan.
They forgot the Blacked Eyed Gravy to pour over the Grits and Country Ham!
Nah man I’m mad as hell I ain’t know this existed last time I was in Tokyo
This grits sounds like Turncornmeal
Not at all.
I am not a "Soul Food" fan but the effort is amazing. Good luck and Blessed fortune to the owners.
As always super jealous
When they gone open the damn borders

Advice
* eat soul food in moderation OR WATCH YOUR PORTIONS
Or you better workout FACTS
Do get regular health check ups
Actually, You are Supposed to Thank YAH'VAH ELOHIYM After You Eat - Most Christians Refuse to Read the Entire Old Testament, and THAT is a REAL SHAME!
