Nah... you'll just catch a cold and stay in one of those onsen for a week anyways... But if you still do it then go from 稚内 to 那覇! If you need a satcom for the go kart maybe i can get my company to sponsor you one for the trip :-P (they don't work in a blizzard thou, the wind is just to strong to adjust the bearing)

i’ve been vegan for 6, going on 7 years. let me tell you from experience. i travel to mexico a lot to where my parents are from and downloading the happy cow app was a GAME CHANGER. you simply chose the vegan tab and enter a city and it shows you (in yelp style layout) all the vegan restaurants to that area. i put in some cities from japan and i was blown away by all the options... i saw more on the list than i normally see in some bigger cities in the states. couldn’t recommend it enough.
@Jason Lee bruh who gives af about what people eat, as long as they don't force their ideals on others. Honestly sad how so many people get so worked up at the mere sight of a vegan lmao
A man asked Buddha "What have you gained from meditation" Buddha responded "I have gained nothing, but let me tell you what I have lost. Stress, anxiety, negativity and false ego" Keep up the good work Chris, Zazen can be a great way of calming down and clearing your thoughts.....As can tenpura ;p
I didn't think it was possible to look unhappy while on a go-kart until I watched this video. I'd be willing to donate to your go-kart fund, just so long as we get to see an Abroad in Japan Mario Kart Race with Natsuki dressed as Peach.
even tho i don't eat meat, i never mind the meat videos, it's still one of my favorite japan channels. but still, it makes me happy to see a vegan video for a change, i ain't complaining.
congratulations on making the vegan video without making fun of veganism or being patronising! you did well! respect! it would have been nice if you'd spent a bit more time talking about how the food was, it looked good, maybe you'll just have to do another one?!?! heres a list of veggie restaurants in tokyo (think, ive never been)
I was wondering how Ryotaro was going to try to kill you in this one. Go karts and whacking with sticks as it turns out. I think he's running out of ideas. I misheard the exact same things you did, by the way. Crispy Wacked and make your butler go away.
I've been a vegan coming up on two years and my budget is climbing towards a visit to Japan. I was kinda worried as the majority of who I follow never has shown anything vegan and I was told places fix the recipe that's on the menu not the mixed combination you want. This was super helpful so thank you for going into this even though you love your meat!
I clicked so fast! Been living in Japan for ages and I am vegan so, like literally I don’t even know why I started watching your channel in the first time but you kept me watching anyway! Favorite UA-camr in Japan and the only one I watch. Looove
Also, 5 years being vegan in Japan and yes it implies lots of home cooking but if you can read Japanese there are actually quite a lot to find at the supermarket or in izakayas. I have no trouble eating anywhere besides specialized restaurant (ramen/monja/hot pot restaurant etc. Are difficult but you’d be surprise I eat quite well at yakiniku places!) also Tokyo is getting more and more friendly with at least vegetarians, we even finally have vegan menus at Tokyo Disney resort! But anyways if I had the time I would make a blog about living in Tokyo as a vegan but it’s kind of difficult at the time. (Also, if anyone reading this wants to experience an amazing Shojin Ryori/Buddhist cuisine vegan restaurant, please please go at “BON” close to Ueno. We celebrated my son’s omiyamairi (first visit to the temple, similar to a catholic baptism) and ate there with the whole family (Japanese and French side both reunited) and it was one of the best food experience we ever had even for the whole non-vegan family!
Alyssa Matsuda a Vegan UA-camr to take a glance at is 'Ryoya Takashima'.(Is his personal channel with blogs & time lapse's) His DIY/cooking channel is Peaceful cuisine. I can Guarantee you shall enjoy his content.
dang not like theirs plenty of vegan channels devoted to making vegan content thanks for forcing him to not make something his viewer base is interested in. heres a tip maybe dont constantly go to a channel which has the front page filled with meat an try an guilt them into making your shitty content. This episode was forced as fuck an you can tell it was made for snowflakes like you so yall would stop filling 50 percent of the comments with "vegan food?" like a bunch of cave men that just discovered fire in the name of "vegan food". or the seguls from Nemo but instead of "hoi" they say "vegan food?"
@@Ave_Satana666 Why are you so triggered by a comment about vegan food under a video about vegan food? I understand there's some annoying vegans trying to bring it up all the time when there's no reason to, but in this case? You should realize you're the equivalent of a vegan complaining about a video about normal food.
While the food here will likely be vegan as it's advertised as Bhuddist-vegan, be aware that some tempura batter mixes contain egg, so may not be vegan
I have friends who traveled in Japan who are vegan. It can be tricky as there is fish in so much there (ie. Bonito flakes in most misu) but, with a little research, you can find decent choices. Just ignore the childish trolls. They get triggered by literally everything like the little babies that they are.
Yes!! Thank you so much for this, Chris!! I would never have imagined you’d make a video about this but as a dedicated subscriber who happens to be vegetarian, this literally made my day 🙏 I really enjoy your videos about with meat too, but I’m glad you thought about us!! 💓 By the way-I’ll be spending this summer in Japan and your videos are a great help in preparing for the trip! All the best to you! 😌🇯🇵
I was part of a group trip this summer to Japan and China. During our time at Mount Koya, we stayed at a monastery which of course featured vegan cuisine. Nobody else in my group liked the food but I loved the tofu and mixed vegetables. I feel like if they had this video to watch before then they might have gotten more excited about it. Great stuff as always, Chris!
THANK YOU for giving vegan Japanese food a feature! Lots of meat eaters default to "Ewww" at even the mention of vegan food (despite that it's everywhere and everyone is already eating it), so it's really awesome of you to not only show an interesting Japanese experience with it, but that there were many things to appreciate about it.
Hey Chris, just wanted to say that your channel is deadass my favorite on UA-cam. You've been a massive inspiration to me, and it's really fantastic having somebody IN Japan talk about it AND provide insane amounts of tools and advice. Maybe one day we'll run into each other out there, keep up the phenomenal work, what you're doing is like a magic~~~~
How devoted to your fans are you Chris ? I love how you included in one video: Ryotaro, vegan food lovers, Japanese culture lovers, and go kart lovers!
Thanks for the veg-friendly content. I knew if I stuck around long enough I would be rewarded. How about doing something about the Ainu people sometime?
The Ainu problem is a hoax for discriminating Japanese people made by Caucasian Racist. Ainu did not have a nation and it is impossible to have a problem now with 1300 years ago struggle.
Thank you! Would love to see more vegan/veggie options or tips in the future *fingers crossed* here and there! I appreciate you thinking about all your viewers, thanks again.
Thank you for this video! I am a vegan, and I really apreciatted that you bring the subject and the respectfull way you did it. Since I started watching your videos I can't stop. They are so cool to watch. I really like the way you present them, so interesting and at the same time so funny! Congratulations from Portugal.
Why would we have the digestive system of a cow? and not a frugivore (great ape) as we do. Our closest relatives being the Bonbo have much larger, sharper and stronger teeth than humans but still eat a diet of 99% plants.
Actualy, hippos and gorrilas do eat meat. It is a misconseption that they do not because of the 'mostly herbevorous' tag that they have. But they do eat meat.
Hey Chris! I really enjoyed and appreciated this video. I love watching your videos, in general. (And to be honest, I've watched them all!) Thank you for showing such respect to the practices and beliefs of vegetarians and vegans, even though you don't adopt those beliefs yourself. It says a lot about your character. I look forward to more videos from you!
I found your videos by accident and I love them! They have been of endless use (although I spend too much time looking at how to learn Japanese rather than getting on with it!) Im going to japan, and thats scary enough.without being vegan... I came across this video on a rush hour train from bristol, and was so excited that I screamed a little bit and panicked everyone....! You're living my dream, when I'm feeling lost with my Japanese, or like im losing sight of my goal, I watch your videos to inspire me. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. P.s. I swear I saw you at the japanese embassy in London last week (or you've got a doppleganger) all the praise for this channel! Xx
Thanks! As a vegan who often watches pretty un-vegan youtube channels for various reasons, it's always really nice to see a video with some good vegan content.
Yes finallllyyyyyy! I'm so grateful for this video! I was slowly worrying I would never be able to visit japan at the rate I was seeing all the meat vids. Thank you
Yeah for this video Chris! Did ya'll enjoy the food? I'm a Vegan & I bet you have a lot more Vegan & Vegetarian fans than you even think! I love how open ya'll were to the Vegan food. Love your channel!
I've compared the taste of shiitake mushrooms to steak a lot, so I'm surprised I haven't heard of vegan food in Japan until now. I'd never be able to go vegetarian/vegan (I love my fish and haggis too much), but I'd love to try this stuff. Then again, nothing stopping us omnivores from ordering these options anyway!
Nice video this helps me a lot I just had surgery and I'm in pain but your channel is fun to watch and helps me forget about the pain for a while thanks and keep up the great work
Go Karting to an ancient temple in a cave, the ultimate experience! This video is just getting me more psyched for my own adventure to hopefully begin next year as a JET, can't wait to visit this place, added it to the list!
Hell yeah, Chris. I got hyped when I saw the title. I'm a vegan and I've always loved your videos, thanks for being open minded and willing to try new things!
I love your videos Chris and want to thank you for doing Vegan/Vegetarian meal video. As a vegetarian myself I've noticed over the years it is hard to find restaurants that feature descent Vegetarian meals. So its nice to see my fav Vlogger doing a Veggie menu video. :o)
Chris riding a Go Kart down the street with a deadpan expression while upbeat music plays has to be my new favorite thing I’ve seen on this channel. 😂🤣 Also “Crispy Whacked” is a Natsuki-level genius catchphrase. 👌
it's about time boys! well done! we visit Tokyo every year and eat predominantly in 100% vegan resturaunts...and the things they do in Japan with tofu/seitan/soyameat...the western world really needs to catch up with! if you go on happycow.com it lists all the veggie or vrgan places wherever you travel all over the world..there are countless options in tokyo..granted its a giant place..but dayummmmn i miss Ripple burgers every god damned day.. I implore you to go next time you are near Shinjuku
@@stormyaudio9969 if people were more responsible, it would be legal to drink in public. Since people in north america act like jack asses far too much, we can't.
Why I love watching your videos is you find humor in the most basic things and I laugh multiple times watching your videos no matter the topic of the video. Love your vids. keep it up. I want to go to Japan someday. Crispy Whacked :P Love the go-karts!! not allowed to do that in Canada.
Abroad in Japan's videos are like a magic, comepaired to every other video around the 11 minut mark. since i enjoy them, they just vanish so very quickly, Chris, please i hope for you to keep making content, you have such a nice relax, and awesome view, when it comes on the topic of making videos, its funny, there is the things, one expect from a video like this, and your own personal channels touch, with the different sound files and music, its so refreshing to watch, and i always look forward for more of your content, have a good one and keep being awesome, and motivating, many positive vibes, from a huge fan, from denmark !
Wow, the comments section is pretty hilarious. I'm just like why are people getting so offended over what someone else eats, if you wanna eat meat, eat it same for the vegetarians. Besides, vegan food looks pretty good so I don't know what y'all be complaining about.
Some people are just childish trolls or people who had a coworker turn down their potluck contribution because they were vegan which they somehow rolled up their mind into getting lectured.
Hey man, I'm vegan and my girlfriend's vegetarian and I was wondering if you could some day do a guide on eating vegan during a trip to Japan? Thanks ♥️
@@brewbrewbrewthedeck4138 yes that's exactly what people want to do when they are on vacation to a different country (in case you cant tell that's sarcasm)
I am very glad that you made a video featuring vegan food. I use to watch videos from your channel ever now and then, and I've always wandered what Japan has to offer in terms of vegan food. Great video!
Considering how healthy the traditional Japanese diet is and that Japan has one of the longest life expectancies a mix of meat and vegetables is the best choice I assume.
Yeah, veganism and vegetarianism are pretty much just social trends, or personality accessories, anyway. The only reason for their being is because some people are extremely sensitive to the reality of organisms consuming other organisms and how it can be a bit harsh to witness when you've never witnessed it before. That and it can make you appear virtuous and noble when you wear them as titles or badges of honor to be displayed to others. I mean, it's a free world and people can do as they please, I don't care. But, a balanced diet of meats, vegetables, and some kind of clean carbohydrate(whether a starch or other vegetables that contain lots of it) is pretty much the gold standard. *shrugs*
Thank you finally ahhhhh, I cant stand to watch the recent vids about meats n that so I skip em. I can acualy watch some content from your channel now WOOO. Thanks so much
I'm vegetarian and I enjoy any kind of videos you make really. Despite not eating meat its still interesting to see what people DO eat regardless of my own beliefs. I'm going to Japan next summer and I'm slightly worried about accidentally eating meat or fish so I've gotta teach myself some phrases before I go lol
Those damn things pass in front of my house several times everrry single day, full of foreigners dressed as mario kart characters, screeching and whooing. please don't turn into that abomination. I wish they'd ban them. otherwise, very nice video. man, those karts get on my nerves though
Extremely difficult? Maybe if you're someone with zero cooking skills, utterly incapable of supporting yourself and 100% reliant on eating processed food from supermarkets or restaurants. Virtually any vegan dish you can make elsewhere you can also make in Japan. In short: Just don't be lazy and you'll be fine.
I'm surprised nobody has made a series yet driving from Hokkaido to Kyushu on a Go Kart. Perhaps I can be the first and then write a book about it.
Do it >:D
Nah... you'll just catch a cold and stay in one of those onsen for a week anyways...
But if you still do it then go from 稚内 to 那覇! If you need a satcom for the go kart maybe i can get my company to sponsor you one for the trip :-P (they don't work in a blizzard thou, the wind is just to strong to adjust the bearing)
What did Ryutaro even say while on the go-cart? What is Ryutaro? The mystery deepens!
Stop with your Caucasian profanity and just do it
Do it on a horse XD
"Trying Japanese Vegan Food" was just a cover.
The real video title is "Real life Mario kart - Chubby foreigner vs. British language thief".
if you didn't say "chubby foreigner" before, I'd have been confused if you meant language thief that's British, or thief of the British language
Title ideas for Ryotaro in next videos.
- Japanese-born Englishman.
- British Translator.
- Ken Watanabe Impersonator.
- Professional Assassin.
- Not Natsuki.

I am simple man. I see Ryotaro, I press like button.

Also “Crispy Whacked” is a Natsuki-level genius catchphrase. 👌
it's about time boys! well done! we visit Tokyo every year and eat predominantly in 100% vegan resturaunts...and the things they do in Japan with tofu/seitan/soyameat...the western world really needs to catch up with! if you go on happycow.com it lists all the veggie or vrgan places wherever you travel all over the world..there are countless options in tokyo..granted its a giant place..but dayummmmn i miss Ripple burgers every god damned day.. I implore you to go next time you are near Shinjuku
ehh i mean a balance is fine
@@maxfelson9467 "if I eat the equivalent of smoking 200 cigarettes after I eat my vegetables and fruits, then that's balance".
Come on bro
This looks so good! I tried a vegan food at the buddhist temple restaurant in Hong Kong. It was yummy! I could go in tofu and mushrooms for days.
How can it be legal to drive a go kart with no helmet on a public road in Japan of all places?
It’s also legal to drink alcohol outside in japan🧐
Kaylina Burch what’s wrong with that?
@@kb_analytics drinking alcohol in public should be legal anyways
Action Park's spirit lives on
@@stormyaudio9969 if people were more responsible, it would be legal to drink in public. Since people in north america act like jack asses far too much, we can't.
Why I love watching your videos is you find humor in the most basic things and I laugh multiple times watching your videos no matter the topic of the video. Love your vids. keep it up. I want to go to Japan someday. Crispy Whacked :P Love the go-karts!! not allowed to do that in Canada.
Yess I’m trying to become vegan and I’m so happy you posted this. Thank you!!!
The production quality though! Amazing presentation and editing!!
I am so happy to see this, I’ve just gone Vegan last week and I’m worried about to Japan again and not knowing what I am eating.
tabi eats had a video about it in among their list. Plus they are just really sweet guys anyways. Satoshi and Shinichi are awesome:)
I've recently turned Vegan too :)
Abroad in Japan's videos are like a magic, comepaired to every other video around the 11 minut mark. since i enjoy them, they just vanish so very quickly,
Chris, please i hope for you to keep making content, you have such a nice relax, and awesome view, when it comes on the topic of making videos, its funny, there is the things, one expect from a video like this, and your own personal channels touch, with the different sound files and music, its so refreshing to watch, and i always look forward for more of your content,
have a good one and keep being awesome, and motivating, many positive vibes, from a huge fan, from denmark !
"make your butler go away" that's what I heard too lmao
Exactly the issue that I need getting solved
Chris doesn't have the skills to be a butler..... more of a general lackey for Ryotoro....
As usual great video, Chris! As a vegan myself this video was awesome! Thanks man, looking forward to your next upload
Wow, the comments section is pretty hilarious. I'm just like why are people getting so offended over what someone else eats, if you wanna eat meat, eat it same for the vegetarians. Besides, vegan food looks pretty good so I don't know what y'all be complaining about.
Some people are just childish trolls or people who had a coworker turn down their potluck contribution because they were vegan which they somehow rolled up their mind into getting lectured.
Your videos are produced to such a high quality, thanks for the amazing content!!
Thanks for trying vegan food! :)
Make more videos, Chris! Can't get enough! 👍
now THAT's the real way to explore japan, riding a gokart!
No ads hope it’s not demonetized. Love your videos
Hey man, I'm vegan and my girlfriend's vegetarian and I was wondering if you could some day do a guide on eating vegan during a trip to Japan? Thanks ♥️
Just cook for yourself, yeesh.
Best would be to go to a big city like Tokyo and look up good restaurants at HappyCow
@@brewbrewbrewthedeck4138 yes that's exactly what people want to do when they are on vacation to a different country (in case you cant tell that's sarcasm)
I am very glad that you made a video featuring vegan food. I use to watch videos from your channel ever now and then, and I've always wandered what Japan has to offer in terms of vegan food.
Great video!
I love Ryotaro! He is like the Japanese George Clooney lol.
Chris has definitely mastered self-deprecating humor.
Ryotaro using religion to kill Chris now. He is truly nefarious. Keep on plotting, Ryotaro! You'll get him... somehow...
Duuude you were in Yt rewind 2017. Never expected seeing you in there but I love it
can we get a eurobeat Initial D inspired montage of Chris driving that go kart?
And thank you for all the tips 🌿😊🙏
Considering how healthy the traditional Japanese diet is and that Japan has one of the longest life expectancies a mix of meat and vegetables is the best choice I assume.
besides veggies it's all about fish and small portions, everything has fish, even meatstuffs have fish, mostly as broth
Fish+small portions+fermented food+sugar treats being expensive.
Yeah, veganism and vegetarianism are pretty much just social trends, or personality accessories, anyway. The only reason for their being is because some people are extremely sensitive to the reality of organisms consuming other organisms and how it can be a bit harsh to witness when you've never witnessed it before. That and it can make you appear virtuous and noble when you wear them as titles or badges of honor to be displayed to others. I mean, it's a free world and people can do as they please, I don't care. But, a balanced diet of meats, vegetables, and some kind of clean carbohydrate(whether a starch or other vegetables that contain lots of it) is pretty much the gold standard. *shrugs*
yo brethren lol calm down
@@iyariximenauribe6797 truth stings, eh? Haha
Thank you finally ahhhhh, I cant stand to watch the recent vids about meats n that so I skip em. I can acualy watch some content from your channel now WOOO. Thanks so much
OMG ive been watching your vids and FINALLYYYYYYYYYYY a vegan video im ugly crying right now
This is fast becoming my favourite travel show!
Chris mate, you look proper old in the intro
So I found your channel not that long ago and I just wanted to say I love it. You're really funny and I love all the things you have to say lol.
I'm vegetarian and I enjoy any kind of videos you make really. Despite not eating meat its still interesting to see what people DO eat regardless of my own beliefs. I'm going to Japan next summer and I'm slightly worried about accidentally eating meat or fish so I've gotta teach myself some phrases before I go lol
FINALLY! Thank you! This is very helpful!! :)
Those damn things pass in front of my house several times everrry single day, full of foreigners dressed as mario kart characters, screeching and whooing.
please don't turn into that abomination. I wish they'd ban them.
otherwise, very nice video. man, those karts get on my nerves though
Yeah I see them every time I walk around Tokyo these days.
i count my lucky stars that i'm in the hokkaido countryside away from all those shenanigans sometimes...
I remember seeing a group of them passing in front of the station at Fukushima. The locals' bewildered expressions were priceless.
But... but shenanigans are the best!
Throw a blue shell at them.
Was interesting to hear Ryotoro talk about the native people of Japan. Hope to see a video about the Ainu on this channel.
Very cool. I've always heard it's extremely difficult to find vegan food in Japan. You can make it work anywhere you go I think :)
Extremely difficult? Maybe if you're someone with zero cooking skills, utterly incapable of supporting yourself and 100% reliant on eating processed food from supermarkets or restaurants.
Virtually any vegan dish you can make elsewhere you can also make in Japan. In short: Just don't be lazy and you'll be fine.
BrewBrewBrewTheDeck Woh way to go to be rude
Sometimes you just wanna eat out even as a vegan, especially if youre just visiting lol
I've been thinking this for a while now... you're entertaining
Who filmed you two during the whole whacking?
Yeeees thank you Chris. I'm so happy you did this video. Vegetarian greetings. :)
