as a Japanese man living in Kochi, I truly recommend you to eat that sweet potato tempura. it tastes quite good and different from normal tempura and it's cheap. thanks John
My favorite ❤️ seems to be - mochi with azuki red bean paste - sushi especially the ginger one.. - 🍅 - fried sweet potato - boshypan .. hat 🍞. Finally I think I will end up loving these people especially the older generation. I found them very adorable.
Thank you everyone! Which one was your favorite? Let me know in a comment and if you like Street Food adventure, click the LIKE button and let me know :) -John . -John
I love this video! I have been studying Japanese language and culture for awhile and I'm also vegan so this was a very informative video to help me ask about ingredients when I go to Japan in the future!!
It's because of you john that I want to visit Japan since 2016, your energy & your profession work are a great mix to motivate anyone to visit Japan. Also, I miss your late night/midnight stories as you live stream
John, very informative!!!! I wish I could go to Japan ....., I want to eat all that you advertise....looks so good and interesting, yum, yum!!!!! Get some recipes.....
Joshua yeah I agree because I’ve actually had these tomatoes before. They’re good don’t get me wrong but i mean...not to just bite into, raw, on the street and then act like it’s something I’ve never tasted in my life before.
Joshua Actually the more I watch it the more I agree with your comment. She overreacts to everything she’s eating & it’s almost like she had to chew / bite in half speed.
From 11:55 to 13:26 it felt like i am in some wonderland by observing their work preparation and dedication to job in hand, completely rhythmic with soothing background music.. thanks Japan for letting foreigners like me to be part your culture and to amaze and keep us motivated towards something good each day!
Your content is always good. I’ve visited Japan a lot of times and planning to visit again, and your videos are feeding me with these ideas on what to do on my next visit. Thanks! Keep it up!
holy crap! The girl’s japanese is so good! I am actually japanese myself and if I heard her speak japanese without seeing her face, I would think she is not caucasian edit: *Kiara’s edit 2: *Chiara’s
I plan to retire in the Shikoku area someday so it's nice to see a market in Kochi still thriving after so many years. Perhaps I'll put up a food stand as well so please visit.
I just love these videos, the elderly of Japan are so sweet and kind it melts my heart and I cannot wait to some day visit this beautiful country ❤️ thank you for sharing these experiences
Really informative video and great camera work, I'm even more appreciative that is vegan friendly since as you said some places in Japan might be challenging in finding good vegan food. but I'm happy the awareness is rising and hopefully in the future plenty more vegan options will be available.
Esteban Pena there’s amazing vegan food in Japan (in the main cities) but you generally need to go to vegan restaurants rather than expect options in normal restaurants. The Happy Cow app is brilliant.
@@simonjohnson4704 yeah, that's kinda my point though. I'm more interested in the countryside, and it seems only the bigger cities can accommodate. Vegans are an oddity in japan
Yep rural areas are much harder. Probably less so if you can speak the language. But worst case scenario in my experience is you buy pre-prepared veggies, tofu and rice from 7eleven (they’re EVERYWHERE all over japan).
These kind a thing warm me up, these day many people don't go out much even for shopping just because they can order it online doesn't mean you cannot go out and having fun.
The more videos you produce the more money I start saving for Japan. Actually thinking about maybe residing there. Great videos and this makes me happy to be a subscriber!
I seriously love Kochi prefecture. You HAVE to go there during sakura season. John, the place you went to for the washi paper is very close to honestly the most beautiful momo/sakura blossoms in this country. Niyodogawa in the background, the valleys on the other. I was very lucky to be able to see that this year in full bloom. I hope you'll be able to show your audiences one day too! Also Kochi castle at night during sakura season is also extremely beautiful!
We are homeschooling and LOVE this channel for learning so much about Japan. Do you have or will you have any videos on traditional Kimono and Yukata? It would be so fun!
i'll take the sweet potato thank you hahaha... wow the tomato is so expensive there but looks so fresh. everything in japan looks good haha, our fave country :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣its John friendly AND matt friendly too!!!! Give the man some meat!!!!! Balance I say But another nice vid I look forward too John!!! 👍👍👍 I love custard too!!! 😍 Such a long standing market I love that!!
@@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN first of all, John, thank you so much for this delightful video. very informative with lots of rewatchable value. Second, however, this is probably not the vegan video most of your vegan fans we're hoping for. Wondering if you're going to take a more in-depth look at this topic of veganism in Japan. it would be really interesting to see what your channel specifically would do with this topic, as your take on potentially generic topics related to Japan always turns out to be very unique And fresh-feeling. Finally,.. Batter contains eggs? I am really embarrassed at how my lack of culinary knowledge often finds a home in UA-cam comment sections.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, wish we had known about vegetarian or vegan sushi when we were in Japan. We spent 30 days there and struggled to find things to eat, it was pizza and pasta for the most part. Great video, very informative. :)
I thought Japan was not vegan friendly. This video changed my perception. Thanks a lot John, with every video you make, My perception of Japan 🇯🇵 keeps changing.
So THATS WHAT IT WAS! I remember going to get some sushi and I ordered a tray of random selections. I had no idea what the bamboo chute was. That explains the texture and new taste.
Oh my, now I am hungry! The thought of vegan Japanese food is like heaven. I remember finding an awesome yuba manju in Nikko! Vegan and delicious (and addictive!)
@@chiibichuu2022 One can't travel in Japan if one doesn't speak Japanese. That's why vloggers who don't speak Japanese are always accompanied by translators.
Xero the Slayer if you study the industries (especially dairy aka cow breast milk) you’ll be angry. I went vegan 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. Best thing I’ve ever done for my taste buds too!
When John says: "I always wanted to eat my hat" Wait a minute! I remember that line from the Lucky Strike Commercial back in the 50's or 60's that says: "Show me the filter cigarette that really delivers taste AND I'LL EAT MY HAT!"
As a wise man (aka John) said a few days ago: "You don't have to be vegan to eat the vegan food. The vegan people can't eat the meat foods, but the meat people can surf every food level!" Great episode! おいしい !
I'm a seafood lover and I couldn't eat that vegan crap when I know there is actual real fresh nigiri and sashimi so close. BTW I do love my veggies but eating vegan in Japan should be a crime. :-)
@OnlyInJapan I like the Vegan Country Sushi without the dashi and the Hat Bread. The coverage of this old Kochi Market and its Vegan options was enlightening. I like the Kochi produce that you highlighted as well.
It was something different but the way life is in Kochi is very good! People have a good balance to everything and you can see it when you go. Will be back!
Believe or not...I just ate 30 minutes ago....now watching this video....I got HUNGRY again. GOD....if I am there at that market....I am sure....in one day I will be 10 kg more my weight. I LOVE FOODS....HEALTHY....CLEAN FOODS. 🤤🤤😋😋😘😘
You are so funny :) I like your sense of humor. I am actually vegan, so this is very exicting for me whenever I get to move to Japan. I had heard it was hard to be vegan there even with all the wonderful foods they have. I enjoyed hearing/seeing some of the options at that particular location. If you get a chance, I would love to see more vegan options in Japan :)
"I hear custard and I hand over cash immediately" You and me both.
as a Japanese man living in Kochi, I truly recommend you to eat that sweet potato tempura. it tastes quite good and different from normal tempura and it's cheap.
thanks John
My favorite ❤️ seems to be
- mochi with azuki red bean paste
- sushi especially the ginger one..
- 🍅
- fried sweet potato
- boshypan .. hat 🍞.
Finally I think I will end up loving these people especially the older generation. I found them very adorable.
“I’ve always wanted to eat my hat.” John 2019
Me too.
The become a vegan, all that "food" tastes just like a hat.
🤣🧢🍴
Make that a cap
"Not vegan friendly. It's John friendly" - John Daub, 2019.
Savage! 😂 Just in front of her face aswell.
This should be on a shirt or a hoodie. I’d wear it
Let's look for something for vegans like these TOMATOES 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iced tomatoes. There is (not really) a difference! 😂🍅
Vegan and Vegetarian stuff in Japan looks better than most Vegan and Vegetarian stuff where I live oOo

I've been huge fan of yours, love every vids since years ago. I've alway been wondering what camera you use..such a great colors and clarity.
I LOVE YOU JOHN!!!!!
Yea you should do more Street Food tour ... i really enjoy this one.
Great work! Keep up the good content:)
my favorite is the boshi pan...😍😍😍..my employer keeps on buying it for me cause he knows that it is my favorite🤩
Another magnificent video by the one and only John. Great job! I enjoyed watching this and learning more about the vegan food in Japan. 🙏🏾✨
I love this video! I have been studying Japanese language and culture for awhile and I'm also vegan so this was a very informative video to help me ask about ingredients when I go to Japan in the future!!

Ur channel just increased my love fr Japan
That’s the most vegan thing I’ve seen -when she bit into tomato 😭😂
It's a tomato. I have had absolutely insane heirloom tomatoes, and they still are just tomatoes. Come on now, this reaction is so ridiculous.
Joshua yeah I agree because I’ve actually had these tomatoes before. They’re good don’t get me wrong but i mean...not to just bite into, raw, on the street and then act like it’s something I’ve never tasted in my life before.
Joshua Actually the more I watch it the more I agree with your comment. She overreacts to everything she’s eating & it’s almost like she had to chew / bite in half speed.
she has lived in japan for 10 years writing vegan tour guides, Im pretty sure she doesnt have to fake her reaction to the food she eats
Yes, enjoying vegetables is vegan. And enjoying dead animals isn't. :-/
Never stop making videos. I love them. One of the best channels in UA-cam! ❤️
You should be a voice actor! Your voice is so clear!
My man you just trolled the heck outta her offering the sweet potato Tenpura 🤣
Just curious- why is the tempura not vegan? Is it the batter, or the oil they fry it in?
From 11:55 to 13:26 it felt like i am in some wonderland by observing their work preparation and dedication to job in hand, completely rhythmic with soothing background music.. thanks Japan for letting foreigners like me to be part your culture and to amaze and keep us motivated towards something good each day!
The work life balance is not good. Everything looks perfect but it is not.
TheOutsidersPost being a salaryman here since 4 years I totally agree with you, however dedication is un parallel.
Sure is, but sadly in the more metropolitan areas. The strive to achieve perfection leads to so many suicides.
Japan : we made potato tempura
Us : hold my beer
*makes deep fried oreo
Your food videos always make me hungry. Everything looks really appetizing.
Good food, extremely clean streets and sidewalks with friendly people. This Sunday market has my vote. Thank you ❤️.
Your content is always good. I’ve visited Japan a lot of times and planning to visit again, and your videos are feeding me with these ideas on what to do on my next visit. Thanks! Keep it up!

Chiara’s Japanese is excellent!
I agree, her Japanese is is very good.
I plan to retire in the Shikoku area someday so it's nice to see a market in Kochi still thriving after so many years. Perhaps I'll put up a food stand as well so please visit.

I live in Kochi. Thank you so much for introducing Kochi respectfully!
Love this video John, was waiting for it! Shikoku is indeed an awesome place to visit.
Thanks for the video~ (Love this btw 3:15)
I wish when I travel to Japan, especially in Kochi, Osaka etc I would prefer to go with John
Such lovely, hard working old people.
I loved this one not just the food but the people, gave off a great happy feeling. thank you from the UK
Gonna watch this when I get home, but this is gonna be a treat! I'm vegan, and I'm told vegan food is a rarity in Japan unlike America. Thanks john!!

thanks for highlighting these local attractions :) i really am inspired to see it!
Great to see the channel grow, you must be so proud of your hard work paying off. Thanks for sharing your life in Japan with us. 👍👍
Another great video as always! I live vicariously through you.
In a few years I want to go to Japan and take in some of their culture. Definitely adding this to a place to visit on the list thanks to your video
3:14 OOOHHHHH !!
***MAJOR MEME MATERIAL DETECTED****
Lmao
1:03 "Little old ladies" and then shows a man as the last person. Cracked me up a bit.
Ahh a nice cup of green tea in the morning and some good content from John
In India also there is a city called Kochi (Kerala).
First time watching. luv it... I subscribed right away
loved this video jon! especially when you partner with japanese locals , it just brings us more views from locals eyes too.
Thank you so much for a new episode that was quite interesting!
My mouth is watery from watching this video.
I love eating sweets!
I have watched almost all of your videos. And then I decided to have my first abroad trip to Osaka in October. thank you John
I can hear that tomato screaming on every bite lmao
The fruits and veggies were murdered! They had a life too :)
Love your works. Keep up the good job. I never got sick of watching.
The more videos you produce the more money I start saving for Japan. Actually thinking about maybe residing there.
Great videos and this makes me happy to be a subscriber!
I think citizenship or permanent residency is next to impossible.
when you watch an anime without subtitles 😂😂
I seriously love Kochi prefecture. You HAVE to go there during sakura season. John, the place you went to for the washi paper is very close to honestly the most beautiful momo/sakura blossoms in this country. Niyodogawa in the background, the valleys on the other. I was very lucky to be able to see that this year in full bloom. I hope you'll be able to show your audiences one day too! Also Kochi castle at night during sakura season is also extremely beautiful!
people said: sad that vegan people can't eat sushi, it really delicious,
Japanese say: hold my beer. :v
Such a delight to see so many vegan options, it usually seems pretty though.
When local old man says it's the best, it's definitely the best you shouldn't miss out.
He knows what he’s talking about :) I loved that he sneaked that conversation in there at the end!!
Culture will save us, and you give us so much. Thanks John
We are homeschooling and LOVE this channel for learning so much about Japan. Do you have or will you have any videos on traditional Kimono and Yukata? It would be so fun!
i'll take the sweet potato thank you hahaha... wow the tomato is so expensive there but looks so fresh. everything in japan looks good haha, our fave country :)
Michigan has massive farms and our produce is just as good if not better. Plus less expensive.
🤣🤣🤣🤣its John friendly AND matt friendly too!!!! Give the man some meat!!!!! Balance I say
But another nice vid I look forward too John!!! 👍👍👍
I love custard too!!! 😍
Such a long standing market I love that!!
as always, lighthearted and entertaining while being wonderfully informative. Just curious, why was the potato tempura not considered vegan?
The batter. Eggs.

Very awesome to have a vegan guest give pointers! Im vegetarians so the tempura sweet potatoes looked yummy!
IG squad!! What do I do to deserve this treat? Only In Japan video on the weekend??
It must be so good to eat food made by those proud locals ☺️
So THATS WHAT IT WAS! I remember going to get some sushi and I ordered a tray of random selections. I had no idea what the bamboo chute was. That explains the texture and new taste.
it is funny when he said it takes a minute for that vegetarian girl to give a reaction, lol
Another excellent video John. I am very intrigued by the vegan items you have discovered in this video. Very impressed.
Omg I learned a new word INAKAZUSHI! Yummy!
I love this channel so much
i had to eat my supper to watch this episode. only way to surive one of john's food shows. all in all heartwarming good story episode
Love japan love watching these videos
Wow my family and I love outdoor markets like this. So many thing to see buy and eat❤️😀
More vegan/plant-based content please! Loved the video
This Video was Amazing Love all those vegan food there (:
3:21 that evil laugh though 😂
Oh my, now I am hungry! The thought of vegan Japanese food is like heaven. I remember finding an awesome yuba manju in Nikko! Vegan and delicious (and addictive!)
Sounds nasty af.
I am vegan and thank you for this episode I like.
I probably won't ever go to Japan, but I love your channel.
Jim McGarry you should!! It’s an amazing place :)
Why not? No travel list would be complete without japan
@@chiibichuu2022 One can't travel in Japan if one doesn't speak Japanese. That's why vloggers who don't speak Japanese are always accompanied by translators.
What drives people to be vegan?! I could never live without the taste of meat and honey and eggs and fish.
Xero the Slayer if you study the industries (especially dairy aka cow breast milk) you’ll be angry. I went vegan 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. Best thing I’ve ever done for my taste buds too!
Killing innocent animals for consumption!
How would u feel!
Try imagining u in those poor animals
I waited everyday to see if you have a new vid i just love your channel
Love this! That Vegan Sushi and the hat bread looked really tasty.
When John says: "I always wanted to eat my hat"
Wait a minute! I remember that line from the Lucky Strike Commercial back in the 50's or 60's that says: "Show me the filter cigarette that really delivers taste AND I'LL EAT MY HAT!"
so many months has passed without watching you.
