I loved the intro. Satoshi you are the cutest, we support you no matter what and I hope one day you'll feel confident enough to be on camera without your hat. Remember that we love you!!!
Happy birthday, Shinichi! That kaiseki looks amazing. I don't know that I could do the shirako either. I know Satoshi is sensitive about filming without having his hats on, but let him know that we love him with or without it.
I always feel relaxed after watching these videos. I think part of what makes Japanese cuisine so enticing is just the variety. Just the sheer variety of dishes that are offered ensures that a person won't ever feel bored eating. Each one of those dishes, except for maybe the fish sperm, looks so good. I guess that's the problem with relaxing and why so many people talk about how they need a vacation from the vacation. Just a simple reminder to find the peace and joy in the simplest of things, ensuring to take your time and soak in all that is being offered. I tend to be a fast and sometimes nervous eater, so I almost feel it would be a crime for me to each such a meal. I would really have to slow myself down, take my time and really appreciate things in order to feel relaxed.
I’m speechless! I was in awe, with every single dish you boys had! I absolutely love Ryokan’s! Thank you brother, for taking the time to explain each dish. I especially appreciate that you explained why gohan is served at the end of kaiseki ryori, because, here in America, the miso soup and gohan are always served first. My local Japanese market sells those individual white table top grills. I never paid much attention to them. I certainly will now! How fun would it be, to serve my boys dinner, and have them grill their own meat, kaiseki/ryokan style...... Thank you for sharing/working on your special day! What a wonderful birthday gift from brother Satoshi! ❤️
Mindy's Mom Everything was so beautiful, and it looks so delicious, didn't it? Wow! Sending lots of hugs to you, sister! PS I hope you get one of the tabletop grills one day!
Happy Birthday Shinichi! This looked like such a great time! Living in a small suburban town in America, I never see this style of Japanese food, so I love to experience it vicariously.
Hello Shinichi and Satoshi! It is so kind of you to share this video from the ryokan at Hakone, with the special meals for Shinichi's birthday trip! Everything was so beautiful, and the food looked extremely delicious! Shinichi, do you remember that we tried to order nasu dengaku when you were here in San Francisco, but the restaurant did not have it? You had it for your birthday dinner, and it looked so amazing! Everything looked fantastic, and I'm so happy that you and Satoshi had a mini-vacation. I hope you can visit another ryokan soon! Thank you for the beautiful video. Sending hugs to both of you!
Thank you for explaining some of the tips on how to eat Japanese cuisine! The seaweed over the rice trick, and how to open the miso bowl is nice to know!
The food really looked amazing! They always take so much pride at these Onsen when making the meals! I wish I could taste it! Happy birthday go Shinichi & thank you Satoshi for taking him there so we could experience it with you both! 👍❤❤❤
I love your videos. I've been to Japan twice this year and used a lot of your recommendations. This video came at a perfect time because I was just planning to choose a ryokan for my stay in hakone. Thank you!!!
Shinchan, thank you for working it made everything feel so special. Please tell Satoshikun that he looks great even w/out his cap. Shikata ga nai ... The Yul Brynner look, maybe? In any case, he looks good as is.
Happy Belated Birthday Shinichi! Satoshi presented you with a lovely gift at the resort! The hot springs and the food must have been incredible! Missed seeing Satoshi on camera...😊
The Kaiseki looked amazing! Thank you for sharing! The breakfast looked amazing, and salad is definitely not a strange thing for breakfast I do it myself.
You guys are addicting. I told my mom about your vids and she loves them! Her favs are mostly similar to Shinichi's. She loves cheese and sweet goodness too much ❤
OMG I've stayed in this exact ryokan when I visited Hakone two and a half years ago! Unfortunately the cable car was closed because of volcanic activity... Everything else was so perfect! The food (I had the same reaction to the melon you had!), the baths (we had a rotemburo!), the decor and most of all, the hospitality. I still remember the employee who showed us around and served us dinner, Satō-san. She was so nice and helpful. It was really the highlight of our vacation in Japan. Also the location is perfect! Highly recommend this establishment. If you are visiting Japan, you HAVE to splurge on a ryokan, you will not regret it and you will remember it for a long time!
The food alone is enough to make me have a deep craving to return to Japan! When I was in Hakone I didn't eat THIS lavishly, but I'm starting to regret not endulging a little more than I did!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your experience. I can’t wait to have my first onsen and kaiseki meal! Hopefully soon. I’m glad you had a nice relaxing bday Shinichi-san, it was so nice of Satoshi-san to treat you!
Happiest of Birthdays fellow February baby!! This was a great video! Everything looked so delicious, what an amazing experience! I can never get thru one of your videos without my tummy rumbling at least once lol! .
Oh Wow! I was savoring each dish that you shared with us, loved how you explained each individual dish, made me hungry watching this video, I just love all of your food videos. I wish that I had a Japanese market closer to where I live, the nearest one is three hours away, so when I take a trip there I stock up on all of my favorite things that I like to cook. What a wonderful birthday gift from Satoshi, and thank you so much for sharing your special time.
That looks astounding! I lived in Japan for 5 years. I miss going to a ryokan, chilling out, and eating good food. @Tabieats- this is fabulous! Gambate!
such a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday! every dish looked so elegant and delicious. I have only stayed at ryokans in Atami and Kyoto - I think each place is relaxing and the specialties of each area make the cuisine very memorable. Hakone looks lovely!
Thank you, Satoshi, for sharing Shinichi's birthday with us. Awesome kaiseki ryori but I'll skip the shirako! I really appreciate your explanations--felt like I was there eating with you.
Such a wonderful video. You can see the joy bursting from Shinichi's face. I know this video is old so I want to say happy [belated] birthday. And Satoshi, you are adorable and very handsome. No hat required.
This was amazing! We have stayed in a ryokan in Sapporo and were blown away by the food and now this Hakone (or Gora) ryokan is going on the list. Beautiful and you looked like you had the best couple days!! Happy birthday!!!
You don't exist guys! Working on a special day like this one... You should be relaxing and enjoying but I'm glad you did cause I loved the video! The food looks fantastic! Ryokan must be one of the best stays on earth. Great job guys! Love you both very much ❤️
Hakone. I was there during the spring vaccacions of 2018! The rotten eggs smell of the sulphur was not too appealing, but the views of the lake were breathtaking!
Happy birthday Shinichi! My boyfriend and I stayed at this ryokan last year and it was one of the best things we did on our trip to Japan! I remember that the food was some of the best I’ve ever had - I was so excited to eat the beef that I actually burned myself on that hot grill haha. I still have the scar :p Love your videos and wishing you and Satoshi health and happiness! Can’t wait to see more videos!
I've been to Hakone on November 2018. It's very beautiful place and I saw Fuji-san!!! So amazing and beautiful. It's the best time in my life, but I would be better if my mom and her friend were stronger. With them, I couldn't strolling around for a long time and they didn't want to go to many places. Next time, I swear I'll go alone....ALONE 😭
Small squid looked so cute. They talked a little bit about kaiseki on Final Table on Netflix, but this goes beyond expectations. Thank you for sharing. Hakone food sounds amazing.
finally got to watch this and holy of all holys, everything looked delicious. I also haven't seen Shinichi enjoy food this much in a while. you could tell it was hitting the spot every time. so glad you had such a good birthday weekend. the beef though made my mouth drool a bit lol might I add that you guys look very good in your yukata's
What a sweet gift , Satoshi...you are a wonderful partner. Thanks to both of you for sharing Shinichi's birthday 😊🎉🎂
Please tell Satoshi don't worry about him not wearing a hat he still handsome 😁
Yeah. We don't really mind.
Yeah i didn't get that? Well i guess we all have image issues id rather him been in the video to he could be bald i don't care still adorable
I agree wholeheartedly
As much as I’m sure it makes him happy to see we’d appreciate his presence in videos either way, he’s allowed to feel this way and have boundaries ❤️
I loved the intro. Satoshi you are the cutest, we support you no matter what and I hope one day you'll feel confident enough to be on camera without your hat. Remember that we love you!!!
Happy birthday, Shinichi! That kaiseki looks amazing. I don't know that I could do the shirako either. I know Satoshi is sensitive about filming without having his hats on, but let him know that we love him with or without it.

I miss my stay at the ryokan in Hakone last year. That was one of the most amazing experiences I've had, and I loved the meal!
I think this video was one of your ‘Best’
Happy Birthday Shinichi!!!! It looked like you really enjoyed everything and what it makes it more special is that it comes from Satoshi ❤❤❤
The only food channel what I like. Love to watch your videos guys. Happy Birthday Shinichi!
Happy Belated Birthday Shinichi! Satoshi presented you with a lovely gift at the resort! The hot springs and the food must have been incredible! Missed seeing Satoshi on camera...😊
such a feast! Everything looked so wonderful!
Just one word - oishi! Thank you both for letting us share in your celebration.
Love and good food ... is there a better combination? 💕
The Kaiseki looked amazing! Thank you for sharing! The breakfast looked amazing, and salad is definitely not a strange thing for breakfast I do it myself.
Tenjin Ikeda.....Hi there! My okasama always served salad with breakfast. I think I’ll start carrying on that tradition from this point forward.... ☺️
Mindy’s Mom. I think that sounds like a plan. It’s definitely a more balanced way to eat.
Tenjin Ikeda......So true!! ❤️
Looked like a wonderful meal. You guys make it easier to miss japan. Thank you for the videos!
You guys are addicting. I told my mom about your vids and she loves them! Her favs are mostly similar to Shinichi's. She loves cheese and sweet goodness too much ❤
Happy Birthday Shinichi! Satoshi you are an amazing partner for taking him to such a nice Onsen. I hope you had a wonderful time you two!

Belated happy birthday!! and wow, those meals looked amazing, two feasts fit for an emperor, and really appropriate
Happy Birthday Shinichi! It looks like you both had a great time in Hakone and the food looked amazing.
The onsen looks so lovely, and the food is so beautifully laid out. You must have had a stunning time there.
The food alone is enough to make me have a deep craving to return to Japan! When I was in Hakone I didn't eat THIS lavishly, but I'm starting to regret not endulging a little more than I did!
Wow this food looked really fancy and so fresh 😋🇬🇧🏴
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your experience. I can’t wait to have my first onsen and kaiseki meal! Hopefully soon. I’m glad you had a nice relaxing bday Shinichi-san, it was so nice of Satoshi-san to treat you!

Hakone. I was there during the spring vaccacions of 2018! The rotten eggs smell of the sulphur was not too appealing, but the views of the lake were breathtaking!
It is my dream to stay in one of those someday. Thank you for the video. Happy birthday!
Happy belated birthday Shinichi!!! I hope you had an amazing time!!!
I thought the plate & setup in the thumbnail looked familiar - Love Gora Hanaougi! Went there on our honeymoon - definitely recommend.
Wow, that was a lot of amazing food. Thanks for sharing! Im glad you had a great time! :)
Wow! I just realized I have never seen Satoshi without his hat!! I'm a bit curious why! Happy birthday Shinichi!!
He has a bald spot or thinning hair....maybe he is conscious about it😅
The food looked amazing. Thank you for sharing this experience with all of us. Tanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu Shinichi san! You are the best!
What a lovely video ❤ great idea, Satoshi. And happy birthday Shinichi!!
Happy birthday :) So many lovely dishes on this meal set!
Oh, right! You mentioned aka miso soup, right? Can you maybe do a video about miso / miso soup types in the future?
Happy birthday Shinichi! My boyfriend and I stayed at this ryokan last year and it was one of the best things we did on our trip to Japan! I remember that the food was some of the best I’ve ever had - I was so excited to eat the beef that I actually burned myself on that hot grill haha. I still have the scar :p Love your videos and wishing you and Satoshi health and happiness! Can’t wait to see more videos!
Sorry I missed your birthday, Shinichi so happy birthday. Like you, I always save the thing I like the most to eat last.
Kinome is usually called "prickly ash" in English, but it's not really used much except in various Asian cuisines if you can find it at all.
Happy birthday shinici keep enjoying life you the best
Happy belated birthday シンイチさん㊗️🎂
朝から飯テロですね笑
お夕飯はもちろんファンシーな朝食もめちゃめちゃ美味しそう💕お二人のお話しの仕方が優しいのもあって温泉並みに癒されました。ありがとうございました😊
Happy Birthday, Shinichi!!!🤗🎂🍨 🎈🎉🎊I really enjoy watching your videos😀

I've been to Hakone on November 2018. It's very beautiful place and I saw Fuji-san!!! So amazing and beautiful.
