You guys are delightful to watch. Enjoy your videos.
+Ericsurf6 haha, thanks so much! -E
Hey I was just gonna try tagging you Eric!
+x1ic1x There are too many Erics in this conversation. I'm confused. -Eric
+Kyde and Eric sorry I meant +ericsurf6
Get some!!!
Today I met a Kyde and Eric fan at a hospital, she's a nurse who's tending to my grandma and while waiting I was watching some of your videos and she recognized your theme music instantly!
Honestly idk why you guys don't have more subscribers, I literally don't get tired of watching you guys.
+lbonini1gaming I can't believe this! How crazy! Hope your grandma is doing good and I'm glad that her nurse has good taste! -Kyde
Thank you for the well wishes! - I was glad that she had good taste too, believe me. xD
Eric would pay good money for premium quality gummies
+DuDuHead Yea, probably! -E
Frick. now I want steak
I like the jazzy music in the background! great video guys, I'm going to Japan on April, can't wait!
+Irving Armenta Awesome, enjoy your trip! -E
With the first one outside of Japan just opening in NY, in the East Village, I needed a reminder of what I'm in for when I head there this week.
Nice!!! Enjoy! -E
You guys have once again succeeded in making me hungry :)
+Wind Dancer Yay!
i like the idea of all the sauces on the table
I simply love your videos. I used to travel the world but I never made it to Japan, which was the next place I was going to visit, but life happens. Through your videos, I feel as if I didn't loose out all of the way around. Thank you for that.
+NYC Emma Awesome to be your window into Japan! Thanks so much for the kind words! -E
Suddenly... steak. «grilled beef in the face»
I could live with that.
Kyde, The Carnivore, ROOAAARRRRRRR. Y'all gotta do a home cooked steak video, if space & tools permit. That'd be super fun. Kyde cooking steaks at home in Japan, wooooot!!!!
I went to Japan back in November and i'm sure I saw this place!
+Padster P Yea, there's actually quite a few of them! -E
"Suddenly steak!' that cracked me up, haha.
Looked great! Thanks for another terrific video
+Julie Goodwin Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! -E
that blue hat is looking damn fly bro
+Emil yeee (Lucent) Life Aquatic style.
I was thinking the same thing lol it's a keeper Eric
+Emil yeee (Lucent) Haha, thanks! -E
Oh man, the cook in me is SO glad you went for medium if you're normally a well-done person. So proud. Cooks work so hard to get the right juicy to done-ness. You not only made all our days by ordering that for us, you made the cooks day by them allowing to give you some of their better (as they perceive it) work! People can totally eat however they prefer, but from a cooks perspective, we love the medium-rare, mediums :).
Also, Eric - anything else you're burnt out on? I can't really eat straight scrambled eggs or most hot dogs anymore because as a kid we had so many eggs/hot dogs - not often together.;)
+Aaron Grosch Nothing I can think of...hrm.... -E
It was interesting to see you contrast the two steaks and how your food vocabulary has grown in the 5 years since you made this video. :-)
The 1D song in the background 😍😍
It may be cheaper but I would think the quality of beef in Japan is way better.
kyde and eric i got a few questions! first off love your videos!
how hard is it to travel around japan . is it confusing to read the maps for the bullet train to get to each city/town.
whats the chances of finding people that speak english,
ill be in japan for april im hoping to use airbnb the whole time!
+Exploring With Josh Getting around is easy, just have a bit of patience. Finding English speakers is easy in cities, but more difficult in the countryside. Enjoy your trip! -E
I've followed you two since 2014 and watched most of your videos, but with this video I've finally understood what Eric's shirt means after all this time. hahahaha Lamb Chop!
I love it, and it's hilarious that it just clicked in my mind all of a sudden.
Hahahaha, nice.
I always look forward to watching all of your videos, especially food videos! :D
+Yuka Nekomura Awesome! -E
The Japanese steak looked better in my opinion. Have to try it next time I'm in Japan :)
A milky taste makes sense. Milksteak is a delicacy that transcends cultures.
+Kyde and Eric @1:40 すてきな!! ;D
I really enjoy your videos.
+Jon Lenvik Thanks! -E
Yawl are terrific! I really enjoyed this review.
Standing while eating: No thank you. I would order it "to go" and walk to the nearest park.
+Cherri Kinney Haha, it's not so bad to stand and eat. Fun change of pace! -E
Loved the video
+rockonblackops777 Yay!
As to well-done vs medium, it may depend on where you were brought up. My family was military so we were posted to some places where local meat was a bit risky if not cooked really well. Hence I have a liking for burned steak. Roll on a few years and a corporate do was held in a London Argentinian restaurant. Everyone ahead of me in the ordering at our table selected rare to medium. The chap to my left asked what the thick steak was. (A plate of the raw options was on display). A fillet... And the only one they would agree to deliver well done. Halleluljah!. I had a great steak. And it was VERY well done.
anything over medium is destroying the steak Imo maybe medium well if your paranoid! love that you guys got to eat such a good dinner. Cant wait for the next video.
Theres a reason wyagu (kobe) beef is the shit.. its because they treat their cows like kings.. give them beer, massage them etc.
Wait, beer?
jase276 I've seen it! no joke
Kobe beef is world famous so I think the best place to try it is in Kobe.
For a second I thought I saw chopsticks on the table xD
+Torterra Plays Mc That would have been the hardest chopsticking ever attempted! -Kyde
I was taking a sip of wine Kyde when you said " I like my meat like I like my apples. A bit of crunch" I actually almost choked. YUK! lol :P Japanese all the way....
+tina-marie Ayer HAha
Eric, At least you had a wall to lean against. lol
I love you guys!! 😁
+Diitjeuh Thanks! -E
There is a pretty interesting stand-up izakaya under the JR bridge at Akihabara station. Though im guessing it doesn't have chairs not to be special, but because they wouldn't really fit.... the bar starts around 3 meters wide, and tapers down to about a meter in width, including counter space.
Nice, yea, those places are all over the place around the Yamanote line. Really cool places! -E
First off love your videos. You two are a hoot and enjoy your "joy" Hubby is at grocery store now buying a T-bone steak on sale and trimmings to top the baked potatoes (poke holes, add olive oil and sea salt and wrap in foil in oven). We add cheese ( buy the block cheddar and shred), a few slices of bacon crumbled, sour cream and chives to potatoes. Pick vegetable fresh and steam. T-bone or any type of steak on sale of course, we found a grilling pan on stove burner to work best for taste but messy with splats. Season meat with sea salt and pepper. Cook with butter, a few flips and let the meat rest, add a slice of butter and or garlic and tent with foil for min. 5 minutes. Meat thermometer a must. Grew up on well done meat but now enjoy med to well done. If I see too much pink like it's going to walk off the plate, loose appetite fast. Tally dinner tonight for two total is $24. Can't do this often but nice to a change. Thank you for sharing your travels and food rewiews.~blessings
+Jc, Aloha day your way! Man, that dinner sounds wonderful!!! -E
DAMN! That hat game is strong
+Mistah Misses Hahaha. THanks! -E
Hey guys thanks for the new video. I am always fascinated with novel concepts in dinning in Japan. I have never seen a standing room only eatery. Those were massive steaks by the way; wow. Kudos for Eric's new head gear a skull cap suits him. Kyde is always very serious about food reviews which I find charming and humorous at the same time. I saw another jvlogger do a review of a eatery that has no one there; all automated. It was pretty cool, and I though you two would did it. Keep the content coming; peace and love peace and love to you both
+Michael Smith Yea, I wanna go to that fully automated place sometime! -E
Simon and Martina just moved to Tokyo you should give them a tour! :D
+rinoa97 Haha, I'm sure a zillion people have already offered them tours. -E
This was an interesting video. I'm not much of a steak eater, but it would be cool to check out! Also loving your shirt Eric!
+AnimeStarwind Thanks! -E
Isn't "Carnivore" used in japan to describe women who actively approach men and even go as far as to book the hotel room after the date for some sexy time? Since "waiting for the man to take the initiative" doesn't seem to work that well in japan anymore?
At least that's what I read on a japan blog recently ;-P
This totally changes the whole video.
+YasashiiFuyu It's actually used more to describe men but you are right in the definition. A carnivore would be a man who is confident with women.
+RojoSlavik then what's a herbivore?
+LordWhatsHisName They are the opposite of carnivores. Men who aren't really confident about women or themselves. The type that are content with being just friends with women even if they would want more.
Looks like it was worth trying out to see the difference. But I am also of the mind set of pay more if you really like it not just because its fancy.
+Luke Schaefer (WebLuke) Yea, the comparison was fun! -E
I gained alot of respect for eric in this video. for the one statement of if you need steak sauce you did it wrong.
+AKghandi Haha, it's real talk right there! -E
I have a recommendation for you guys...a place called Shamaim in Ekoda on the Seibu-Ikeburkuro line. Awesome Israeli food, and they have tabehoudai for 2400 yen. If you're jonesing for great falafel, this is the place. Also, on Friday evenings they have a belly dancer.
+wontondestructxn Ohh, sounds really good! And a belly dancer! haha. -E
hi im coming to japan and meet you guys.
what a sweet couple i really enjoy your videos
+Ray Glenn Thanks, Ray! -E
Kyde loves the meat. Lucky Eric. ;)
Eric comon man!!, where is the philippines episode 2 I'm going soon there ; )
+GOLD0R4K It'll be up in a couple days. -E
+Kyde and Eric thank you very much Eric! :-)
In Japan, if you are a carnivore woman (肉食女性), then that means you have a strong personality and don’t take crap from anyone. It is a positive thing.
my mouth is watering just from watching that marvelous big and juicy steak
Hahaha
When is the next part of the Philippines series coming out?
+Renee Preston This week! -E
looks like ill have to put that new diet off for another day lol
+Hans Petersen Whoops.
lol i just wanted to watch you cry...thumbs up for that statement kyde
Kobe beef refers to beef from the Tajima strain of Wagyu cattle, raised in Japan's Hyogo Prefecture. Have you guys had Fresh Kobe there? I imagine you could get really fresh Kobe?
+tormentedzombieowl I don't think we have, but we aren't really big beef eaters. -E
Yup
Everything is "sudden" in this place. Suddenly served, suddenly billed, and suddenly evicted. You've gotta be prepared.
+Hirofumi Natsui Hahah.
Lmfao @ the background music... Elevator music at a steak joint???
+playdoh1975 Yea, hahaha. -E
Omg just by chance I've found one of your food video's ide missed "Meat feast"
way to go Guys
+Truckerugene glenn Haha, thanks! -E
It is best T-shirt "Ram chop"
excellent!!
+akio asou Haha, thanks! -E
Wow. Only 40 bucks for two steaks. Not bad actually. Pricey. Not an every day meal. But I live in Vancouver BC and it is hard to find steaks for that price.
You guys gotta go do steak gusto.
haha we were thinking about that.
Haha, I feel the exact same way about steak as Eric. For the same growing up on a farm reason. XD
There's a band called Suddenly Plastic.
IDK man, I'd love more stand-up places. If it was up to me all pizza places would be stand-up. Those bibs we ridiculous lol
+Hold Fast Films Yea, I don't mind standing at all, actually. I used to stand and eat dinner in my own kitchen when I lived alone. -E
I grew up and still live on a ranch. Eric, y'all must have not had mean cattle like we do down here. I grew up showing cattle, and I'm pretty sure that my dad had me get the wildest, meanest ones to halter break. I eat steak to exact my revenge on all the steers and heifers that knocked me around and kicked my ass growing up. Kade, if y'all ever get to Texas, I'll show you how to get some crunch from a steak and not ruin it. The best steak house in Texas is really close to my ranch. it's a little converted church that's only open on Saturday evening and they only have 5 things on the menu. The town it's in doesn't even have a post office or a traffic light. Like I've said in the past, y'all make it out to Texas, y'all stop by. I'll take y'all on an adventure neither of y'all would forget. The steaks are on me.
+Bradon Cohorn Man, that steakhouse sounds incredible! I'd LOVE to try it! -E
+Kyde and Eric well come on with your bad self lol
Yeh Eric was thinking the same when I seen yr bill and the other people standing in the back ground not cheap !!! But if the food is good it's worth it !!!
Yummy Yummy I need steak in my tummy,,,
Is there a shortage of knifes in Japan? Have to share?.
Hi love your channel started watching your vids after visiting Japan for the first time last summer...loved everything about the trip including the food but strangely enough the best food i've had in Japan that has me almost dreaming to go back is indian food......Roopali in Hiroshima & Kerala in Kyoto comes to mind as the best indian food we've had anywhere, please visit if you're in the area!!!
+Jean-Michel Côté-Basque Haha, yea, Indian food in Japan is pretty tops. Best we ever found was in remote Laos, and we've been to India! hahahahah. -E
I love your hat Eric! //Erik with a K. (just wanted to say that)
+erik andreasson Thanks, Erik! -Eric
How easy is it purchase quality beef in Japan, for cooking at home? I am wondering if there was anything provided at this restaurant that you couldn't have just done at home. Some beef at restaurants in USA is dry aged or goes through additional steps at the restaurants, but if what they served here was no different than buying from a butcher and grilling a steak at home, I would probably opt for home.
How long was it between ordering the steak and it being served? Average decent steakhouse in USA/Canada is usually half an hour or so. Just wondering how this compares in a Japanese "steakhouse" like this one. Thank you!
+Michael Quattrocchi No idea about buying beef here. We usually eat chicken at home. It took about 10 minutes or so for the food to come out. This place is sort of "fast food" in a sense. -E
could you show me eel don?
bluefin tuna, jiro sushi
tea ceremony
Matsuzaka beef is supposed to be the most expensive beef in Japan much more than Kobe beef
A standing restaurant.. different. Did you find it comfortable?
+Dan Fox Yea, I didn't really mind! -E
Sweet beanie, dude! btw, are you two matching? that's cute
+jase276 Haha, live together long enough and you start matching by accident. -E
I love fat on steak I know its not good for you but Damn does it taste Good
don't they have different prices for lunch and for dinner?
Yea, I think so? -E
Dat shirt, amazing. If I walked into a steak house and it had sauce, I'd walk right out. A perfect steak shouldn't need anything but a knife and a fork to eat with. Why don't Kyde try a steak with a heavy rub on the outside? You can have that seared crunch and still have a steak properly cooked medium rare. Also did you notice the couple in the background when the camera was on Kyde in full bibs. I'd understand at a crawfish place but how sloppy can you get with steak? Probably the sauce. Can't wait to see part 2 of your Philippines trip!
+LancerJak Yea, gotta keep that steak sauce in check! Don't want it all over your clothes! Haha. -E
+LancerJak Yea, gotta keep that steak sauce in check! Don't want it all over your clothes! Haha. -E
Hey guys. I'm from Texas as you know and I love steak, I too, am a carnivore like Katie. I've had some good ass steaks in my life and if there was one thing that I had trouble finding in Japan was good and as you point out in the video, not just good but affordable steak. The closest I could find was in Saizeriya or Coco curry house but as you know I'm sure that was just hamburg steak as they call it. I want some real steak though next time I go but for something cheaper than $20. I know Katies was a bit cheaper than that but my question to you is, what is your best recommendation for someone that loves a good steak but doesn't want to go bankrupt when eating it? Specifically around Tokyo, I would love to eat some good steak whenever I would get that craving but I couldn't find anything when I searched. Would it be cheaper to just buy my own at the market and just cook it myself?
+All Games Must Die No idea man, this was the first steak I have had in years. -E
Kyde and Eric Hmm yeah I know you said you sorta got your fill in life for steak and as I said I know steak is just not a thing in Japan. Well I could at least go here and try out theirs but that price is quite high as you said....
wow! knife and fork!
+Pedro Duarte The only other option was to eat it "bobbing for apples" style. -E
You two guys are great, I watched loads of your videos and I find your "country"/"city" reviews reliable and interesting. I know this is totally off-topic, however I'd love to visit Laos but I hate touristy places and I got that impression from several videos (including yours). Did you enjoy your travel experience there, would you consider to visit again? I suppose if you had to choose, you'd rather go to Vietnam. Anyway I am not expecting a reply as it has nothing to do with this video but I tried :)
+Luca Del Prete We did enjoy Laos, but there is one specific town you should avoid like the plague if you don't want to deal with tourists: Vang Vieng. It's like an endless frat party populated with white college kids travelling on daddy's dollar. We went, but only to see the absurdity of it all. Outside of that city Laos is very pure and unexplored...or was 6 years ago. We were there for a month or something and I'd go back if there was a driving reason to do so, but at the moment I'm not drawn to it. Vietnam on the other hand we would love to explore more....but we were only there 2 weeks or something so there are a lot of places to visit we didn't even get near. It seems to be between the two Vietnam has much more to offer, but in a way the remoteness of Laos has it's own charm. -E
+Kyde and Eric Thank you for getting back to me! I heard the worst about Vang Vieng but apparently a year ago or so, they shut down most bars, banned "happy" cakes and they are now trying to attract more Asian tourists and kayaking lovers. Another Laos versus Vietnam dilemma for me is food and by the way thanks for sharing all those delicious meal reviews haha. I am a huge fan of Vietnamese food and I would possibly spend the entire trip trying any possible street food available while I don't know much about Laotian cuisine. It looks to me like a mix of Thai and Viet food which sounds absolutely tasty but I haven't tried it yet. Looking forward to more videos on Manila, you're by far my favorite expat vloggers on youtube. Keep it up and thanks again for the feedback.
+Luca Del Prete Regarding the food....honestly....we weren't blown away by the food in Laos. Vietnamese food on the other hand is wonderful! -E
i hope you get to try Whoopi Gold Burger in Shibuya and see how good/cool it might be! I just heard the name and had to be like "That kicks ass!"
I forgot about that place! Thanks for reminding me! -E
My wife and I are heading to Tokyo in 2 months =D Can you recommend any other great places to eat in Ikebukuro?
+ArcticaWolf Gaming This might help. docs.google.com/document/d/1DOUoFuDJ9I7hTIUCFkyAdnY_Q2jvZ-c84bezj8PyuPU/edit
Brilliant :) thank you!
love the videos btw, keep up the great work!
Why is it only Eric responds to comments not Kyde
She does sometimes, but she is typically way busier with her job so she only has time to read comments. Replying takes a lot more time, as I'm sure you can imagine. -E
Where did you get that beanie Eric?
+tameron con Uniqlo! -E
A stand up steak place does sound cool...but i wouldn't spend that much. Eric i can't read Kanji so when you grabbed that steak sauce i thought oh my GOD he's about to put syrup on that expensive steak. LoL
+Oukoyami Hahaha. -E
I saw a thing on Facebook. it said it was from Japan. it looked like a cheese slice made of chocolate. have you eaten it?
+colleen JAY don't think I've seen that yet. -E
Now I wish I'd saved the post lol
Rice&steak perfect mariage
+Japonicasian I like the rice the best! -E
How old are you guys??
+Charles Shockley Yep! I'll be 36 this year, Kyde will be 31. She's old! -E
+Kyde and Eric Am 36 and it's better than a 100. There is a Japanese lady working at my place of work and I need some simple greetings to tell her when I see her. Can you help... please...
Ohhhh kyde... never ever order a steak well done.. its such a waste.. im not saying you have to order medium rare.. but... a properly cooked medium steak is the best thing on earth.
I cook steaks for a living... do me a favor sometime.. its gonna be expensive so splurge and split it with eric... sometime in japan.. get a bone in ribeye steak... Its the best steak out there IMO.. You cant beat a bone in ribeye
Eric, do you eat enough I wonder? you look thinner everytime I watch these amazing videos.
+Eragon Balestra Haha, probably not! -E
+Kyde and Eric you guys are awesome. I love your videos. keep em coming. :)
+Eragon Balestra haha, thanks! Will do! -E
+Eragon Balestra You can watch the 'everything Eric eats for a week' video and be the judge, haha :D
I have a frozen ribeye steak on my refrigerator. Time check 12:12am. I'm not hungry. I'm just bored. I'm not hungry. I'm just bored. I'm not hungry. I'm just bored. I'm not hungry. I'm just bored... help....
+Koto Nizna Haha.
Do they have A1 sauce?
+tora737 Not that I saw. -E
so, do the next week everything will be 'suddenly' .. :D 'suddenly..sunlight!" "suddenly .. \commuters!' :D
If I am spending $40 for a meal, I damn well am sitting. I would bring my own walking cane the folds into a perch to sit on. THAT I intend to find when I first get to Japan as there is almost never benches sitting out on the street. With all that walking I would literally die. So I have to get one of those.
+TubaBuddha Hahhaha.
I love wasabi on steak (even expensive steak), but not every bite.
+imbobii Yea, I really liked it! I'd like it again! -E
Hey Eric where did you get that ewe shirt?
