I'm living in gunma and want to thank you guys for this lovely video. I'm one of the hundreds of people than have that clay pot in the kitchen for years.
For the price of the bento in a clay pot, here in French train stations you can get a miserable industrial sandwich. Ready to eat food in Japan looks so tasty, and way ealthier than what we find here. I might learn Japanese and go to Japan for a whilr just for the food xD
Learn basic Japanese and go! It's easy to speak it badly (difficult to speak it well) and Japanese people are so kind and helpful. They will love your language effort and you will have an amazing time.
12 Volts Japanese and Korean cultures and foods are very very different, almost the exact opposite all the time. They are very different genetically too.
thank you guys for covering my favorite eki-ben! i had oginoya kamameshi when i was younger every time i visited my relatives in that region, so it is very nostalgic to me!
I just found your videos and enjoy them a lot. I was 19 when I saw Tokyo briefly and then got to visit Yakota 6 months later in 1976. I will never forget visiting the restaurant and sitting around the low table with green tea and a wonderful meal with friends.
You know, I have followed UA-cam pages before, but I always get bored with them. I never get bored with this one. You both have such nice personalities and your chemistry is amazing. The videos are always entertaining and they always make me hungry! Thank you for all of your videos.
Wow, I'm so impressed with how beautifully the Bentos were packaged. So much attention to detail! Luckily, I had just eaten dinner before I watched, so it wasn't complete torture... :D
I like what Satochi had for lunch that came in a Daruma container. It has a variety of stuff in it and a souvenir to keep after finishing the lunch. I also like the lunch you bought at Gunma that came in a clay pot.
I've paid for first class rail travel in the UK and that meal makes what we get here look like a total joke. I am very envious of that delicious looking box!
I really enjoy when you go out and about in your travel videos. I've been to Japan twice, and I've done the main tourist stuff, but watching your videos, I realize there are so many little things that I missed out on experiencing, so that's what I would like to explore whenever I visit Japan again!
I LOVE the clay pot that you get to keep!! Also, the train park was unique to see~! I don't think I've ever met a train otaku before. It seems to be a uniquely Japanese thing. AND I COULD NEVER EAT DESSERT THAT CUTE
This was a lovely video. I enjoyed it so much! The clay pot bento looks absolutely phenomenal...I wish I could try it! That makes my mouth water just to look at it. All of the ekiben you two tried really look very good. The whole day looked so enjoyable, despite the chilly and windy weather. It was nice the wind calmed down for your hike. The scenery was so pretty. I loved the Gunmachan manju at the end. It was nearly too cute to eat! I was just thinking "Anko!!!!" in my mind when you said my name! It's so kind of you to think of me. I hope that it tasted as delicious as it looked. I would love to see another train journey again some day, with more ekiben. This was great! Thanks for the wonderful video, and the shout-out with the manju filled with anko! :-) You two are fantastic. Sending love to you from California.
Wow! What a fun trip! I have actually never been on a train before but I would love my first trip on a train to be a trip like that! It looked like so much fun! I loved the rural areas and especially those mountains! Simply stunning.... The food looked so healthy and delicious! I can't wait to visit Japan in the future! Thanks for sharing!
I love these videos because I learn so much! If something comes up that I'm not familiar with, I pause and look it up! It's a great way to learn about other cultures!
That clay pot is MILES and MILES better a container than plain Styrofoam or printed cardboard. I wish our nation (Canada) would pass laws that encouraged regionalized containers like those (and maintained that regionalism by not allowing companies to be bought or sold... used to have a great cottage industry of wine here, now it is almost all owned by one company and the real beauty has been lost). Not only beautiful but infinitely re-usable and a way to create artisan jobs and a reason to create pride in a population as well as create desire in other populations to come for a visit.
They have and have longer than that. It's a tradition-set that goes back a very long time. I think we can benefit from this idea that a destination is worth the trip because what is there is uniquely there.
Same thing here in California happened with the vineyards. A few mega corporations own most of the land. Almost all of the small family owned vineyards are gone.
Greetings from Australia. Another very enjoyable video gentlemen. I must say that I quite like going on adventures with you guys and seeing the sites as well as the food. I have visited Japan quite a bit but because I can not read the kanji, I don't always make the best decisions for me or my wife. Your videos really help me know just what is available, so maybe next time she will think I am suddenly smart ;-] Well done to you both.
The kamameshi sounds like such a great combination of different flavors. There's certain things that end up in bento like taro root that I'm not wild about, but everything in there sounds delicious.
I got absorbed in your video(s) after searching for NATO. It felt like the viewers came along with you on the train ride to the temple. Amazing how the Japanese package things.....with such care and detail. I just subscribed to your channel. Want to see MORE!!!!!
I stumbled across your channel while looking, for places to visit in Japan. I love the fact that you use the train to get where you're going. It gives me a good idea of how long it takes to get there.
You guys should make some videos with Kyde and Eric (youtube channel ). They live near Tokyo I think. I believe you guys would make some great videos together
Oh.My.God! That claypot rice. I must have it!!! Although I would probably starve because it is so beautiful, I won't be able to open it. The self-heating bento box is magic. Char-siu looks delicious. Why is everything so beautiful in Japan?
The Touge no Kamameshi was so beautiful. Since you took the clay pots home, it would be cool to see you create your own Kamameshi. I'd love to see what ingredients you'd use. Thanks for taking us on your day trip!
Very good video cant wait for the next video since its spring have you guys gone on a bamboo harvest ? Or maybe go on a tour of mountain vegetable harvest ?
What a lovely video! You guys are _awesome_ hosts. This video brings back great memories of when my best friend and I visited Oginoya restaurant and Poppo town. While watching it I just remembered that we even hiked up that same trail! Sadly, my friend is no longer with us, but almost 20 years later, I still have my Oginoya Kamameshi bowls, (and the lids!) and use them practically every day. Thanks so much for bringing that wonderful day back so clearly! I'm going to watch all your other videos now! And I'm going to eat some sushi, because all that yummy stuff made me hungry.
I've been to Yokokawa a couple times, and had kamameshi bento both times. Yokokawa is where the helper locomotives used to be attached to trains from Tokyo, to get them over the steep mountain grades, through Usui Pass, to Nagano. When the Shinkansen was built to Nagano, there was no need for this section of the railroad anymore, so it was closed down. However, it was a great place for a railroad museum, since there was a lot of equipment there that was no longer needed, plus a lot of workers with railroad experience lived in the area. Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Takasaki, then a local train to Yokokawa. It's a great day trip, with the kamameshi bento as a wonderful bonus, and the clay pot as an excellent souvenir.
I love that Satoshi is a train nerd like me. If you ever visit Washington DC you will find that about the about half of the rolling stock in the DC subway system are brand new Kawasaki cars. The older ones are mostly Italian Breda cars.
this is one of my favorite videos you've done! the intro was amazing! I loved seeing Japan from a train. I can't believe the clay bento was only $10usd AND you got to keep the pot! my fave part was the temple. I look forward to many more videos like this! maybe once a month or every 2 weeks?
Thanks for posting this!! I love ekiben - they're so interesting and I love the packaging. My only regret when we went to Japan last year is that we didn't go on enough long train rides (therefore, not enough ekiben opportunities 😊)
Thank you! I have now added the Daruma Temple to my next Japan trip ^___^ I love watching your videos! Keep them coming! (I'm watching your videos instead of getting ready for uni.. shh)
Great video! I love seeing and learning about the regional varieties of ekiben. If/when I go to Japan, I would love to try a few and enjoy the scenery rolling by!
OMG! I realized I just have been gifted by my Japanese boyfriend’s mother these clay pots and she made her own with flavored rice, gyoza and tomatoes which were all super delicious! It’s such a dejyavoo (forgive my spelling) to have the same thing as they show in the video!
The clay pot lunch looked so tasty! The packaging on the train bento was amazing. Japan does packaging so perfectly. In honor of Spring, could you please show us how to prepare takenoko?
I cracked up when he mentions you can take the claypot home, and satoshi just says "YAAAY" in a low voice in the background
Eggplant Thief I love how Satoshi gets excited about the little things in life!
what a cute couple
Rick Sanchez there not couples and your pictures morty yet your picture is Rick
yin vanbeek Actually, they ARE a couple.
Rick Sanchez they r not couple
Satoko Chan yes they are... they've said so in several videos. Even Shinichi said so on his channel.
I ask them before, and they reply me saying they are... So cute.
I'm living in gunma and want to thank you guys for this lovely video. I'm one of the hundreds of people than have that clay pot in the kitchen for years.
Love those dances in between. 😊 also, whoever created the self heating bento box is genius!
Bribri 09 oh yes I forgot to mention the dancing! looks like the guys were enjoying themselves and no stress was good for them.
I do agree. I love it when they are goofing around the camera. 😄
That technique is usually used in MRE or meal ready to eat / military/disaster food. They now used that pulled out heater. So cool.
Japan ! Creative lol
Wow looks amazing- Id get it just for the clay pot (the food is a bonus lol)
Exactly what I was thinking. :)
Shao 210 same
Ken Myrheim be
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that :)
Shao 210 same!
You two are the new reasons why i love Japan more. ❤❤
For the price of the bento in a clay pot, here in French train stations you can get a miserable industrial sandwich. Ready to eat food in Japan looks so tasty, and way ealthier than what we find here. I might learn Japanese and go to Japan for a whilr just for the food xD
Learn basic Japanese and go! It's easy to speak it badly (difficult to speak it well) and Japanese people are so kind and helpful. They will love your language effort and you will have an amazing time.
But, how would you squeeze a bottle of red wine into a bento box?
In America you can get a water bottle, a bag of chips, and some candy from a vending machine.
12 Volts
Japanese and Korean cultures and foods are very very different, almost the exact opposite all the time.
They are very different genetically too.
Ya know what, Id do the same thing.
You guys are so cute! :) I came for the food and fell in love with the hosts. Best wishes to you both, I will now continue binge watching your videos!
Two of my favorite things: lunch boxes and trains!
thank you guys for covering my favorite eki-ben! i had oginoya kamameshi when i was younger every time i visited my relatives in that region, so it is very nostalgic to me!
Really like this kind of direction you're moving in with these style of videos. Brings so much happiness. Keep it up!
I just found your videos and enjoy them a lot. I was 19 when I saw Tokyo briefly and then got to visit Yakota 6 months later in 1976. I will never forget visiting the restaurant and sitting around the low table with green tea and a wonderful meal with friends.

tbonecorleone I agree!
Satoshi is so cute.
From reading the comments and how everyone is loving this series, including myself, you have to continue providing more. Pretty please!!
It's been a pleasure watching your channel grow. Sound editing on this one was perfect!
Wow, I'm so impressed with how beautifully the Bentos were packaged. So much attention to detail! Luckily, I had just eaten dinner before I watched, so it wasn't complete torture... :D

Keep making these videos guys. We love you, and are grateful for a magnificent view, in far places, of our world.
That Gunmachan Manju is SO adorable I don't know if I could bring myself to eat it lol!
I LOVE the clay pot that you get to keep!! Also, the train park was unique to see~! I don't think I've ever met a train otaku before. It seems to be a uniquely Japanese thing.
AND I COULD NEVER EAT DESSERT THAT CUTE
What a great day trip! I would love to eat a lunch like that on the train.
This was a lovely video. I enjoyed it so much! The clay pot bento looks absolutely phenomenal...I wish I could try it! That makes my mouth water just to look at it.

It's cool! You two should make "ekiben futaritabi" series, dude!
Excellent video guys! This was very interesting and the scenary is very beautiful. It's always Great to see your videos! Thank you very much!
Absolutely love this train tour with bento. That dancing on the old train line trail was sweet. Great video.
I love these videos because I learn so much! If something comes up that I'm not familiar with, I pause and look it up! It's a great way to learn about other cultures!
thanx for sharing guys...i ve been wanting to visit Japan for very long...cheers from Norway
I'm just discovering this channel. Thank you so much for making the world a slightly better place.
Thank you, all for sharing. I will never get to Japan, but your expectations are wonderful to share.
YOU. GUYS. ARE. SO. ADORABLE. TOGETHER!!! 😍😍😍
The song you have on when you get to the temple, very serene.
I like the way you both talk in a soft voice , like we hear in funny game shows
That clay pot is MILES and MILES better a container than plain Styrofoam or printed cardboard. I wish our nation (Canada) would pass laws that encouraged regionalized containers like those (and maintained that regionalism by not allowing companies to be bought or sold... used to have a great cottage industry of wine here, now it is almost all owned by one company and the real beauty has been lost). Not only beautiful but infinitely re-usable and a way to create artisan jobs and a reason to create pride in a population as well as create desire in other populations to come for a visit.
Well Japan have been doing that kind of stuff for decades ever since the War end.
Since it's their way to recover from the war and money.
They have and have longer than that. It's a tradition-set that goes back a very long time. I think we can benefit from this idea that a destination is worth the trip because what is there is uniquely there.
yeah japan is superior in that way
Same thing here in California happened with the vineyards. A few mega corporations own most of the land. Almost all of the small family owned vineyards are gone.
keeperofthegood clay is significantly better for the environment compared to plastic based containers also. I wish they were the standard.
Greetings from Australia. Another very enjoyable video gentlemen. I must say that I quite like going on adventures with you guys and seeing the sites as well as the food.

Every time you two do a video like this I want to go to Japan.
The kamameshi sounds like such a great combination of different flavors. There's certain things that end up in bento like taro root that I'm not wild about, but everything in there sounds delicious.
I really like this episode! :)
Thank you for this fun little train trip. Very nice. The food looked awesome. Stay happy and healthy. 💐
One of your best videos ever. Love the travel segments. The food looked delicious as always.Now I'm really hungry.
You guys are the best . Thanks for taking me along on your journey .
Yup! wind always makes the weather colder during winter 12:54 wow that was a dessert?!
Their adventures make me hungry to travel and eat my way across Japan.
Melissa Quinn That is what we are doing.
those Chashu Bentos look amazing.....i saw they go down really well with the Northern European visitors.
I got absorbed in your video(s) after searching for NATO. It felt like the viewers came along with you on the train ride to the temple. Amazing how the Japanese package things.....with such care and detail. I just subscribed to your channel. Want to see MORE!!!!!

Satoshi's,"Yeah!" when you said you were in the train park was so cute! He sounded like a little kid!
He seems that way every so often, which is a huge plus!
I love your travel videos almost as much as your cooking videos.
The Touge no Kamameshi was so beautiful. Since you took the clay pots home, it would be cool to see you create your own Kamameshi. I'd love to see what ingredients you'd use.
Thanks for taking us on your day trip!
日本に帰りたくなりました。いつも楽しいビデオありがとうございます！
お二人ともお身体に気をつけてこれからも頑張ってくださいね。お母様にもどうぞよろしく！
ありがとうございます！これからも頑張りますので、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします！シンイチの母も、もうすぐ出演しますよ！
Very good video cant wait for the next video since its spring have you guys gone on a bamboo harvest ? Or maybe go on a tour of mountain vegetable harvest ?
What a lovely video! You guys are _awesome_ hosts. This video brings back great memories of when my best friend and I visited Oginoya restaurant and Poppo town.

Two big thumbs up for the travel vlogs. I'd really love to see more 1 day trip type videos that go to lesser known spots like this. Very cool.
OMG! My mother would have loved the dessert. The bento all looked delicious.
1000yen WHAT A BARGAIN!!!! ONLY IN JAPAN
LOL when you pulled the string, the creaking sound was like Ju on

Hi Satoshi and Shinichi good to see you guy's l just love ur train ride and a yummie Benton thanks
All the food looks so good! And the self-heating bento--WHAT! So cool. I love your journey videos. Japan is so beautiful.
Your Ekiben adventure was amazing! I am envious, but SO glad you shared your trip with us.
This was my favorite of all the videos you ever made.
I'm living vicariously through you guys!!! wonderful videos ❤️
That train station has a relaxing feelings about it and I want to be there.
Nice landscape in Yokokawa - and even nicer food. Love your vidoes. Greetings from Germany!
You guys should do a music video! I loved the short thing you did dancing and lip sinking the song! More of that on your travels! Enjoy!
I love that Satoshi is a train nerd like me. If you ever visit Washington DC you will find that about the about half of the rolling stock in the DC subway system are brand new Kawasaki cars. The older ones are mostly Italian Breda cars.
My Japanese bestfriend lives in Gunma... I think I have to visit him soon and try this differents bentos with him ^^
Good road movie guys!Japan is very interesting for a Hungarian!
another great video. thank you! verneice from Buffalo , NY, USA
this is one of my favorite videos you've done! the intro was amazing! I loved seeing Japan from a train. I can't believe the clay bento was only $10usd AND you got to keep the pot! my fave part was the temple. I look forward to many more videos like this! maybe once a month or every 2 weeks?

yum, so many veggies, I would love Japanese food.. If it looks this good on a train, it must look awesome in a restaurant. love from Denmark.
YES!! YES!! YES!! Frankly, I didn't care for the the UA-cam Live videos. This theme is awesome! Ekiben Journey! LOVE
You guys looked so happy and excited. This is one of my favorites videos of you. I was with a stupid smile the whole time while watching xD
Great video, thank you two for sharing your trip. The clay pot looked really good.
Do more Ekiben trips!
峠の釜飯懐かしい‼️
駅弁も随分増えたよね‼️
あっ🤭下ネタじゃなくてね🤣
Thank you! I have now added the Daruma Temple to my next Japan trip ^___^
I love watching your videos! Keep them coming! (I'm watching your videos instead of getting ready for uni.. shh)
Great video! I love seeing and learning about the regional varieties of ekiben. If/when I go to Japan, I would love to try a few and enjoy the scenery rolling by!
This was a really great video! I loved it a lot and also really liked the editing in this one. I'm glad you had fun, and the ekiben look so tasty!
OMG! I realized I just have been gifted by my Japanese boyfriend’s mother these clay pots and she made her own with flavored rice, gyoza and tomatoes which were all super delicious! It’s such a dejyavoo (forgive my spelling) to have the same thing as they show in the video!
I love the song and the walk.
Great video please do more of this =)
Only 1:17 into the video.
Loving it already!
Great dance moves!! I'm enjoying your videos.
Very nice video gentlemen! Enjoyed it very much! Hope the Ekiben films will get an own section! Best regards!!!
That was fun! I wish we had bento boxes here in Massachusetts
I have been going through all of your videos and I love them! So much fun to see your adventures!
Love the bentos! I watched Japanology on train bentos, they were fantastic. the variey of foods n some of the bento boxes were gorgeous.
pull string to cook thats AWESOME!
You guys take my stress away after a long day at work!!! arigato :)
Really fun! All the food looks delicious!
Lovely. Just lovely! My favorite part is 11:47-Oooohhhh...
The clay pot lunch looked so tasty! The packaging on the train bento was amazing. Japan does packaging so perfectly. In honor of Spring, could you please show us how to prepare takenoko?
I love your guys channel always look like you guys are having fun. And yummy food
Omg what a great day trip!!! I really want to visit Japan someday.
