Japanese eggs are produced under the strictest control in the world, so you never get sick, and they are quite rich and not smelly at all. Although it may seem strange to many people, but when you try it, it's not bad at all. And since it can be made simply by putting it on rice, it's understandable why it's a common dish in Japan.
@@yuka-youtubeit's because of how the eggs are treated in the US. They are washed with some chemicals that remove the natural protective layer. That's why they have to be refrigerated, while elsewhere eggs are sold at room temp in the store.
At Fu-unji, I would also recommend the dipping ramen since the soup ramen is a tad bit too salty for my liking. Also, for those who don’t want to get in that line outside, try their restaurant at the underground mall of Tokyo station. You won’t have to wait and it will taste exactly the same.
I ‘now the japanese are abt presentation, i just dont rhink i could get into that whole dipping the noodles in the brpth kinda thing. Think i would like my ramen soaking in the broth, just me.
@@shayanaijaz san It’s also Fu-unji, another branch of theirs. Apologies for not being clear. It’s located in the ramen zone of the mall under Tokyo station’s Yaesu side. (there is another ramen zone on the Marunouchi side, so please don’t get confused - Tokyo station is massive)
@@asmallbitchybanana Dip ramen has its own advantages in that the noodle has way better texture than on in broth. I definitely recommend it as I rate it much higher than broth ramen.
That 'white wasabi' is probably _wasabizuke_ which is wasabi leaves, stems and roots pickled in _sake-kasu_ which are the remains of sake brewing (sake lees). If you like _oden_ you should try different varieties from various regions as they usually have unique types of _dashi_ and ingredients.
Here is a fun little fact concerning egg yolks, the color of them is influenced by what the laying hen has in their diet. If I ever get the chance, I'll be most assuredly paying that egg buffet establishment a visit, at least once.
I eat raw egg yolks all the time here in Georgia. free range chicken produce the most orange egg yolks, which is the most nutrient dense. eggs are super healthy if sourced correctly.
@@skotdude if the diet of the chicken can afect the colour of the egg then surely it must afect its nutritional content. But i admit i can be wrong ofcourse. Atleast iteans the chicken were fed better and had more food diversity. Pale yolks to me signal cheap and fast food standards when it come to livestock quality.
@@ItsMe-zs3iy The chickens diet has nothing to do with the nutritional content of their yolks, except for minor differences in pigmentation compounds, meaning the stuff that colours the egg has no nutritional value to people. The chickens diet might mean healthier eggs for the chicken, larger, uniform as opposed to malformed, but genetically... egg is egg. It roughly contains the same stuff regardless. Some countries actually have a different idea of what a "good" egg looks like. In Australia when I was a teen the bright orange yolk was generally associated with cheap battery farmed eggs, whilst free range eggs were eggspected to be bright, almost fluorescent yellow. That's changed now though. Again, has nothing to do with the nutritional content of the eggs, just consumer perception of quality based on appearance.
Everyone has been so obsessed with that egg place right now, def on my bucket list for sure. Ive always said that eggs are one of the sexiest foods, ooey gooy with a nice runny yolk, my heart
Mapo tofu is my choice of food when I want to pig out in private but when I saw that sizzling bowl with the knife cut noodles, I called DoorDash instantly!😋👍🏽
I jumped onto the delivery apps as well to see if I could get mapo tofu delivered! They also seemed to list it as "mild" though; where's the fun in that? I'll have to check some of the restaurants that were closed. The mapo tofu craving is strong now! 😋
Its got to the point where mike says "umami" at least once for just about every dish that egg buffet was cool, never seen anything like it, be great for putting on mass.
The egg buffet sounds heavenly! I wouldn't usually eat raw eggs but because Japan strictly control their egg growth and production, I would eat raw eggs if I went there. Great video!
I really appreciated your adventurous eating which automatically introduces underrepresented Japanese food like ODEN and raw egg and rice. Thank you for your video - I look forward to watching the next one!🤤
I have to say, I’m so envious of how good and cheap food is in so many other countries. In the UK Japan has a reputation for being expensive for food for some reason, despite it being a lot cheaper to eat out and the quality is on another level. There’s no way you could get a main meal in the UK for less than £10 except for places like McDonald’s. Many meals are over £15 and most places the food is frozen and reheated and is pretty meh. Even places selling Asian food aren’t cheap and you can guarantee nobody will be using freshly made noodles (there is one awesome place in Coventry that does, and sells more authentic Chinese food, but that’s the only one I’ve come across). Ramen will be at least £10 and absolutely nowhere close to being as good as in Japan. It’s ridiculous. Street food though I’m most envious of. Street food here is an absolute rip off, the sellers are out to just charge as much as possible and its obscene. The quality is also meh and it won’t be particularly authentic. At a Christmas market I went to last year they were selling bratwursts for £8! Funnily enough in Mike’s one video of trying street food in a market in the UK, he really wasn’t impressed. He was more impressed by London’s Chinatown but noted how overly expensive it was. So yeah, I wish the food in the UK wasn’t so damn overpriced and awful. I totally understand why we have a bad reputation for food. Ok most of it might not be as terrible as in the 1950s but most of it is definitely mediocre (apparently a common thought for people from abroad who visit). Considering most people have just a few hundred pounds a month disposable income in the UK, shelling out over £50 for two people for two courses and a drink each in the average restaurant is ridiculous, hence many people don’t eat out often. Especially when its very easy to cook better food at home than you’ll get in a restaurant.
What's the name of the place in Coventry? I've been looking for a place like that to eat at, I'd only been searching in bham though, hadn't considered Coventry
@@unknownentity7964 It’s literally called “Noodle Bar”. It’s very well known amongst Coventry locals and uni students as being fricking awesome (I went to Warwick uni and my and my friends went there all the time). It won’t be 100% authentic but its way more authentic than your average Chinese restaurant. The fact that most of the customers are Chinese is probably proof of that!
I get full so fast with ramens. So if i want to pig out, i always go for sashimi. Its a wonder for me that i can eat more than a kilo of salmon and tuna in one seating but cant even eat a half of it if cooked.
The sandwich has bechamel sauce thats what makes it so creamy then you dont have to use a load of cheese and it gives yah the creaminess without the coagulation effect while it cools off
Mikey: great short tour. That egg place was certainly unique! But my favorite stop was your last dinner! So many nice item including the pouch with tofu!
For kake-gohan, I need the rice to be piping hot. It won't do anything if your eggs are bad, but it certainly does taste better at a higher temperature.
I didn't realize, with how widespread the Internet is, that there are people who don't know you can eat Japanese eggs raw. If you've heard of sukiyaki then you would know this is a thing. It's really baffling.
Indeed, let alone it's supposed to be widely known that a classic Italian carbonara is made with raw egg too. I don't understand why so many are flipping out over the eggs! 😅
I found explaining real farm eggs before has helped people understand the low risk of raw eggs. On a farm after being laid, they are then checked if they were fertile or not. Afterwards, they are hand brushed with only small amount of water. If anyone actually WASHES them with soap or too much water, the outer microscopic layer that acts like an antibacterial is washed off and they may have a much shorter shelf life. Refrigeration also can mess with the natural order. End of the long story, naturally laid eggs taken care of correctly and stored at room temp can last about 30 days without any ill effects. And even after that, there is that "eh, this still looks and smells fine" stage because we're human. We estimate things and nature doesn't follow rules. Sigh, thank you and pls don't worry about people who choose to eat raw and uncooked eggs. They'll be just fine.

Was that raw egg in the rice👀

Blue eggs!! I just love how they look
That egg buffet sure is unique. Indeed Japan is home to all things weird as well as unique.
Its only weird to us very normal in japan we are the weird ones
16:00 this is why Mikey works out so much. Thats a lot of stirring.
I love when I fix a bedtime snack and come back to a new video from you❤
same just happened to me
best feeling

🤣😂
😂 You forgot umami too
Deelicious
@@MiRedLips literally anything that tastes good to him is umami 😂
If I got a dollar every time you said "umami," I might actually be able to visit Japan! Lol
Or "UH-mazing." Or "JOO-cy."
Or "yeat" instead of "eat"
Funny thing, Mikey probably does get a dollar every time he says umami.
I’m planning a trip to Japan and this will be very useful
Its got to the point where mike says "umami" at least once for just about every dish

it's the only vocabulary he knows really
No it isn't

@claretheworm would be hilarious to watch you try to host a show and talk to a camera
1:50 to skip that advertisement
Everything about this video is uuuhhhhmazing! The music, the food.... what's not to love. That mapo tofu, and all the gorgeous eggs looked incredible!
That buffet looks just amazing. 24:24
Japanese must be putting some magic on their eggs lol can't believe I'll ever say this about eggs but What A Beauty!
It's ahhhmauuuzing!
That Mapo Tofu looks exquisite and I just know it would warm my soul 🤤
Oden Restarunt is called 'おでん屋たけし新富町店'
That Oden place definitely one of the higher quality place, I love oden be it cheap or expensive place it always taste good and makes you warm
The egg buffet sounds heavenly! I wouldn't usually eat raw eggs but because Japan strictly control their egg growth and production, I would eat raw eggs if I went there. Great video!
First time seeing white yolk. Japan amazes me.
People next to him at the beginning of the video, are probably saying to themselves, " who is this guy talking to".
Everything except the raw eggs looked amazing
6 different types of egg, that sounds heavenly
Fuunji is great I got tsukeme with exta meat and the follow mikey with the adding the soup at the end
Anyone notice the editing around the 1:45 mark?
First shot of the las place, Mikey sees the restaurant is jam packed, second shot he’s eating on the storage room😂
1:52 feels like Deja vu.
You the man bro
Really says something when he goes back the next day.
bro got the edit wrong @ 1:45 LMFAO 😂

I'm playing the Umami drinking game for this one lol
usually raw eggs are safe aslong as the hen is vaccinated against salmonella. in the uk we have the red lion
I've hit Singapore, Taipei, and Cebu to eat this year. Next trip Japan!, Thanks Mikey for the videos
These eggs were so pretty!
I get full so fast with ramens. So if i want to pig out, i always go for sashimi. Its a wonder for me that i can eat more than a kilo of salmon and tuna in one seating but cant even eat a half of it if cooked.
if you put your ear next to a bowl of ramen with umami, you can hear him slurp for days
Everything looks amazing 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Gaston would love to eat at this restaurant!
If he were to go to this cafe, then he would eat 5 dozen eggs!
The sandwich has bechamel sauce thats what makes it so creamy then you dont have to use a load of cheese and it gives yah the creaminess without the coagulation effect while it cools off

I thought Mike was wearing a bulletproof vest at first and then later realized he was wearing an apron/bib 😂😂😂😂
Because of your no nonsense reviews, I ordered 2 pairs one blue and one red. Love them thanks for a fantastic food adventure! 😊
