John, thanks for having me a long for the journey. I loved doing this, the Tsukuba area is beautiful, and as always you found the way to make this truly ONLY IN JAPAN! Hope everyone forgives us for our lack of food fighting skills! ha ha
runAway Japan Dean, this Ibaraki Trilogy was a great idea and greater fun! I know you like a good chance he after seeing your videos so this was perfect - although I thought you’d be a little tougher to beat 😏 gonna have to find the next big challenge and it would be fun to have you back for that! 🤟 #deannukem
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN admit it guys, you only did the 15 minutes so that you had an excuse for not having to finish! 😂 And you know...... I hate to say that but... The second attempt doesn't count since we did not see where the food went after you picked it up! Challenge does NOT count as completed! 😜
😂 All I kept thinking was, “Stop talking! You’re filling yourself with air and letting the food settle so the brain registers your stomach as full quicker!” The trick to this is not think and just act and consume. 😂 In any case, good job. Love your videos. Keep them up!
1212 yeah, it is. Your stomach needs time to realize that it’s full, that’s why doctors recommend to eat slower to people who struggle with weight loss because they often eat too fast and too much, and they don’t realize they’re full. For people who are food racers, they eat as fast as possible without talking, not just because of the fact that there may be a time limit, but because they need to make sure their stomach doesn’t realize it’s full for a while.
Great coverage of what to expect from Japanese Service Centers and the local food and goods that one can find. They sure know how to satisfy the appetite of a hungry traveler. That food challenge was epic. I know that I can't do that meat and rice challenge. But what a surprise that you finished! Great video coverage!
"Didn't I eat this one already?" 😂 Awesome video!! Love the Service Areas, but I've never been at that one. Looks so yummy and worth it!! 😆 Congraaaaaats on beating the clock and wall inside at last!! 👏😆🥓🏆🥓 Thanks a lot for the video! Can't wait for the next one!! 😁
I've never considered Japan a car country, so I was surprised by the SAs and the food courts. This is why I enjoy your channel; you challenge my mindset and reveal new horizons about Japan and it's culture. Needless-to-say I've truly enjoyed your Ibaraki trilogy. Please do more road-trip style videos. BTW I hope you didn't get indigestion eating all of that food so fast (twice, really?).
UFO Bob are you serious the country who makes Toyota, Scion, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Daihatsu, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Mazda, Subaru, Isuzu, Kawasaki and Yamaha.
@@user-mikeneko5517 Americans don't think the Japanese ride horses. We know you eat them. Americans think trains and buses are used in Japan more than cars. Everyone knows Japan makes cars. Japanese don't go on road trips in their cars as much as Americans. A lot of miscommunication in these comments.
Lmao I love the way John talked about comments from Gyoza challenge video that bothers him xD Don't worry and continue your marvelous food journey & travel man.
Like round 15 of a heavy weight boxing match! I felt dizzy from the greasy fast speed of my chopstick skills, hahaha! and the punches I got from the food in return!
Japanese service areas really make your journey so much more pleasant! It's unreal the variety and quality of the food you can get there! Looking forward to our next road trip now 😁
Your videos are the best, I think I've watched 40% of your total video history. Thank you for putting so much time and effort into such an amazing series. Absolutely love the channel. You have a fantastic listening voice!
First: YES! More SA videos, please! I’ve been fascinated since my first visit in the late 70’s. Second: Thank you for the tip with the chopsticks. I love using mine but was never taught... I can SO do that! Lol
I don't relate to the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment a marathon runner feels after finishing a race. This, I relate to. Good job going back and taking that challenge down.
That looks amazing, and I love pork belly. I couldn't finish it in one sitting though. Thanks for taking us to these out of the way, yet very interesting places that we don't see in everybody else's Tokyo vlogs.
yes... i'm from turkey and i love japan so much! i learn english the fact remains that, i watch your videos with subtitles ... thank you john! i hope one day i will come to Japan
"Didn't I eat this one already?" Hahaha! 😂👌 Man, I'm not even sure if I could make a dent on that -don. It looks delish but as much as I want to, I don't think my tummy could handle all of it.
Wow! Can’t believe you wolfed down that mountain of meat and rice two days in a row! I was gonna say, you could shovel the rice into your mouth “Chinese” style...that’s how we do it, when we’re hungry or in a hurry. Not elegant, but gets the job done! Since, you applied that technique on day 2, I guess they do the same in Japan. I always thought the Japanese avoid doing that at all costs. Loved this fun and interesting episode, John! 🍚🥢
Oh my God!!! Highway food in Japan 👍👍👍 ... This true food challenge am watching ... Great Video John ... I hope You've enjoyed all Your vacation in Japan - Tokyo 😍 Thank-you so much for sharing it entertaining
I saw a really cool documentary about rest stops in Hokkaido, and how farmers bring their crops and home-cooked foods into the little grocery stores generating local business for everyone. What a cool concept, I wish we had that in America.
I love this channel so dang much, it's one of my favorites on UA-cam and I'm subscribed to 98 channels lol I gotta say though I would have crushed y'all at that eating challenge. Give me more Japanese cuisine videos please!!! 😂
Has anyone talked about how cool that mayo bottle top was at 3:50-3:55. It was like 4 small holes instead of one big in the center and it just blew my mind! Take my money 🧟♂️
Hey John! My name is Jami and I hope to also go to Japan one day. It’s awesome how you teach English there I would love to do something like that one day!
I'm sure it's a family size dish but the plastic model say to people -- come and eat me if you can! That right there is a challenge I can't back down to.
Yuka Kinoshita: Weak men! *Laughs while finishing 3 Mt. Tsukuba-don*
Savage 😂🤣
Burn!!! Lol
Just let college students at it, lol

Dean, that sweater is awesome. What brand is it and where did you buy it?
carlos medina check out mud jeans! Small brand in Holland. I’m a big fan of only buying ethical brands! :)
runAway Japan I will check it out. Thanks a lot bro!

What do you mean?
You think we ride a horse ?
How ignorant Americans are.
You guys care nothing but your country.

san Panda you read that too much
You think they've designed some of the best handling sports cars because they arent a car country? Seriously?
John your channel brings me back to an era of good times and travel channel-esk escapism and AWESOMENESS!! KEEP EM COMING BROTHER!!
I really enjoy watching how much your personality comes through in your videos.
"First of all you don't eat a baby!" 😆😂 Oh my God that made me laugh! Food challenges are insane XD
You did it! Hahah. Definitely easier when you don't have to waste time by talking lol.
Great seeing you do more videos John. Always love watching your uploads. Keep making more!!!! 7/11 lunch should be your next
7/11 in Japan are awesome!
Lmao I love the way John talked about comments from Gyoza challenge video that bothers him xD Don't worry and continue your marvelous food journey & travel man.
This is great, the countryside looks really beautiful and calming to the soul
The Beef Bowl Challenge, the entrance to the meat dimension. AIYAAA!
You are my favorite channel on youtube. I really love your works. Thank you very much for these very informative yet entertaining programs.
I'm so happy for you that you've reached 1M subscribers! Love your videos keep up the great work :)
John looks like he was getting delirious from eating all that food lol
Like round 15 of a heavy weight boxing match! I felt dizzy from the greasy fast speed of my chopstick skills, hahaha! and the punches I got from the food in return!
OH MAN!!! You went back to finish it off! Props to you John! 🙏
Jason Bourgeois I didn’t want the internet to make me suffer like the last food challenge! 😂 finish what you start even if it’s the next day!!
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN I would expect nothing less from you John! 👍
John, that Gyoza challenge video was crazy!! Glad you didn't get a stomachache from it!!
Loved this driving series, Dean is also a fun partner in crime. Great videos John!!! :-)
いいね
When I was in Japan, I just loved how there was full bars of cell service everywhere you went, even way out in the sticks!
Japanese service areas really make your journey so much more pleasant! It's unreal the variety and quality of the food you can get there! Looking forward to our next road trip now 😁
The picking up the bowl and shoving it in your mouth technique, every Asian knows it
Edit: I’m Chinese too, this is just a joke....
It's just Japanese thing
@@hanifnada17 I'm Chinese and I'm can confirm that you are utterly wrong.
Same here, from a Chinese :)
In my Chinese dialect we call it bae bung which means to dig rice
@@hanifnada17 We Chinese do it too.
Mark Wahlberg and Mark Ruffalo Vs Tsukuba Don
vivoslibertos LMAOOO😭😭🤣🤣🤣

Mark Wahlberg wishes he were that tall.
HAAHAHAHAHA

Laughed out loud watching this! Nice one John!!
Yeeeeees John doing food challenges!! Awesome vid as always!!

Aw you’re committed, that’s awesome! That’s something to look up to, well done John!
Really enjoyed this video. Great job John! You are living the life I wish I had but I'll settle with watching your videos.
Watching Instagram live, always enjoy your videos John 😁
Nice work Dean and John. Another great episode.
I don't relate to the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment a marathon runner feels after finishing a race. This, I relate to. Good job going back and taking that challenge down.
"You can't eat that giant mountain! It's impossible!" John: "but it's necessary..." *insert interstellar docking scene track*
8Bitofit 😂
That looks amazing, and I love pork belly. I couldn't finish it in one sitting though. Thanks for taking us to these out of the way, yet very interesting places that we don't see in everybody else's Tokyo vlogs.
John, did you order a smaller version the next day?!? Hahaha! Love your editing, even a [slightly failed?] food challenge is so fun to watch!
awesome as ever
MORE!!! MORE!!!

Great job man like always love ur videos
"Didn't I eat this one already?" Hahaha! 😂👌
Man, I'm not even sure if I could make a dent on that -don. It looks delish but as much as I want to, I don't think my tummy could handle all of it.
Love being notified both via instagram and UA-cam. Can’t miss an episode. Helping me plan my trip around Japan in November. Keep it coming John!
Lucky YOU!!!!!
Noticed that all japan kitchens are very clean! Nice!
John for President! Great video as always!
It is always interesting and fun to watch your videos! Always makes my day better :3
So Much Fun Watching Food Induced Coma Set In
キャプの彼は綺麗に調えながら食べられてステキですね🎵
Aww poor John he’s so food drunk! Happy traveling! Really enjoy your channel!♥️
Loved the facial expressions! Keep up the good work, buddy!

That was awesome dude!
OMG a mountain of deliciousness, great episode Hi from New Jersey.
This was awesome!
These videos always get a instant like from me :)
It is an instant like :(
K
When you come back to see the old videos
I’ve always loved that nice drum rhythm at the beginning of every vid. That’s how you know it’s an ONLY in JAPAN video lolol
Reworking the time to fit the new opening coming soon :) but won’t change it too much - it’s a part of the series!
Great video John see you next time.
Glad to see you again!
I always love your intro.
Unbelievable for a highway service area! Thanks for sharing. I’ll never be able to go to Japan so I appreciate your videos.
That looks sooooooo delicious!
I missed eating this dish when I lived in Japan...but a mountain of rice with cabbage and pork!!!! Yes please.
I love your videos so much their so interesting and funny
I love this channel so dang much, it's one of my favorites on UA-cam and I'm subscribed to 98 channels lol I gotta say though I would have crushed y'all at that eating challenge. Give me more Japanese cuisine videos please!!! 😂
This guy been smashing out videos for how many years? The quality always astounds me and I love them!
good to see you really put effort into it, well done
Has anyone talked about how cool that mayo bottle top was at 3:50-3:55. It was like 4 small holes instead of one big in the center and it just blew my mind! Take my money 🧟♂️
Since seeing you with Mike Chen, watched a ton of your videos. Love the channel and your live streams.
oh man. I have to make sure I eat BEFORE watching your food videos! so hungry now! looks oishi!
Nice! But John, I would consider leaving one piece of meat for last and using that to basically clean the bowl of rice before finally eating it! :)
Good vid as always
Hey John! My name is Jami and I hope to also go to Japan one day. It’s awesome how you teach English there I would love to do something like that one day!
I think that is a supposed to be a 'family sized' meal.
You ate the whole thing? "BURP!
I'm sure it's a family size dish but the plastic model say to people -- come and eat me if you can! That right there is a challenge I can't back down to.
One kilo is a meal for two... Big portions too!
Nice to have taken us along in your trip.
