Happy New Year Everyone!!! Also thanks soooo much for pushing this channel over the 2 Million sub mark before the end of the year :-) as much as I LOVE food, being able to share the experience with you all is what truly makes it special. Have a glorious food filled 2019!
it would be more of a joke if you said it without the first line... now i require a third line... structurally this joke is a joke (in the figurative sense)
terry_r3d raw steak can be eaten raw since usually cows are only fed naturally through grass and beer and don’t accumulate any major bacteria. So you can eat raw beef.
we used to go scuba diving for the sea urchin. make a pot of rice and eat it at the camp site. The best is buttery and nutty, but with the taste of the sea and a very slight bitterness that is barely there. They are still alive and fresh just before you crack it open and scoop the roe /gonads out!
Mikey, your not supposed to dip the rice in the soy sauce. That's why your rice was falling apart. You turn the sushi and dip the fish. But then like John said you do whatever you like. Enjoyed the collab, good video!
This video is such a gem, it's like watching a puppy walk in snow for the first time. I always found it odd that Mikey wasn't into sushi, it's so nice to watch him discover it.
I just LOVE this episode, your collaboration with John is amazing, two of my favourite youtuber together. You had such an amazing connection, it just worked naturally, thank you sooo much. Put that Sushi place on my bucketlist for sure ^^/
Omg this is the best collab ever. I love John and you and you guys got together!! Happy New Year and this moment was meant to be! I love this video and i wish you many great videos ahead Mikey! YOU are the reason I watch UA-cam!
Congratulations Mike on 2M subs! Thank you for providing insight into the culinary regions of Asia which many have yet to discover! Best of luck for 2019!
Two of my favorite UA-camrs! I finally went to Japan 3 weeks ago thanks to you guys showing me everything I could ever want from the Land of the Rising Sun. Arigato-Gozaimasu!
Hey, Sushi Zanmai rocks. You can eat sushi 24 hours and like John says, it's intermediate level sushi and you can always get a consistent meal. I went to the Ueno and Yurakucho branch and they are both consistent. I just got back yesterday and I want them to put a branch right in front of my house so I can go every day. For real.
maplebobo it’s effin good, even here in America we have pretty good sushi, I can’t imagine how great it probably is in japan, it’s a life goal of mine to go to japan, specifically for food.
For me the first time i had sushi i was more focused on the experience and the idea i was eating raw food and i missed out on the flavor somewhat . The second time was freaking heaven. That was 20 years ago and i am totally addicted :P
Oh, I read that wrong. I thought you said, "I never had sushi. I never will eat sushi." I was going to respond, "good, now there's more for me." My dad always said that when would turn my nose up at some food. I always thought that was a funny thing to say, but it made me wonder what was I missing, so I would try it.
Sushi is my most fave food on Earth, so I was drooling with every bite you guys took...🤤😋 Excellent video Mike (but then again, all your videos are excellent)!
I tried Sushi again for the first time in years because of this clip. This time, it was at a fancier Japanese establishment in Torrance CA and it's actually GOOD. I'm hooked on it now.
Mike! How can you live in Japan for a month and not try sushi! I'm so glad you had a great experience with it, Sushi really is wonderful. I've grown to like it, living here in Vancouver, which I've heard it argued has some of the best sushi in the world. I'm also really happy to see John with you. I love his channel as well. I wish you both a happy new year!
Stevis Yes you taste the sourness of the lemons. But again, it’s thinly sliced, so the flavor is more like if you squeezed a few drops of lemon juice on the sushi and added some lemon zest. It’s not that strong of a lemon flavor.
4:03 😂 This guy treating Mike like a Japan newbie trying to teach him "itadakimasu" 😂 I went "COME ON NOW!" And I'm pretty sure the way John looks at Mike when he eats is the way we all do 😂 something between admiration and surprise haha These all look amazing! 🍣🍤
The reason you don’t put sushi out on the counter for a long time is because after 10-15 seconds the freshness goes away. And also I’d recommend eating sushi with your hands cause you get know the temperature of the sushi which makes it taste better
its not the freshness itself but to eat the sushi at the optimal timing in terms of temp of the shari and neta combined..e.g. if the shari is warm (which it should be) then waiting too long will affect the condition of the neta and thus its flavour.

Strictly Dumpling Happy New Year! Me and my friend live your vids.
Strictly Dumpling Happy New Year!! 🗯📯🎊🎊🎊🍾🍾🍾🍾

Great video Mike! Heres to another year of you making us hungry!
Happy 2019 Micky
I like how John is always smiling! His happiness is contagious.
This collaboration should really help John finally hit 1 million subscribers
Up
John has such a great personality and the warmest laugh! I loved this collab!
I agree 👍🏾
John has such great spirit and is super positive!
Loving their chemistry. Never woulda guessed this black hole of a foodie wasn’t a sushi person
Key word “wasn’t” haha.
Yea apparently he was against eating raw fish before this video.
But but but, he wouldn't mind eating almost raw wagyu, I think.
why do they look like an older version of the worth it guys lmaoo
Lmaoooooo
lol
Hhahahaha agreeee. omgg LOL
Lmao im laughing and i miss worth it
Kate abrielle they still make videos
I love how John was looking at Mike is admiration at certain points of the video. He was like "wow this guy can really eat" 😂
Sushi, best way to start a new year
it warms my heart to see how far Mikey has come in terms of daring to try and appreciate food since then
Do you want to hear a Joke??
Jeff goldblum and Jackie Chan walk into a sushi bar...
john looks more like the guy from karate kid lol
it would be more of a joke if you said it without the first line... now i require a third line... structurally this joke is a joke (in the figurative sense)
What’s the actual joke? Ira Lee, Ph.D.
More like Ralph Macchio and Jackie chan😂
Johns energy is contagious! Always the biggest smile
Finally !!!!
I always hated that you go to Japan and not eat raw sushi. I’m sooo happy you explored that crusine and enjoyed it.
Omg same!
"I don't eat raw food" *eats a steak that touched a little heat for half a second*
😂😂😂😂
😆
terry_r3d raw steak can be eaten raw since usually cows are only fed naturally through grass and beer and don’t accumulate any major bacteria. So you can eat raw beef.
terry_r3d beef tartare is raw
Exactly, hehe. But hey, I think Mikey will eat sushi more often after this.
we used to go scuba diving for the sea urchin. make a pot of rice and eat it at the camp site. The best is buttery and nutty, but with the taste of the sea and a very slight bitterness that is barely there. They are still alive and fresh just before you crack it open and scoop the roe /gonads out!
As a sushi chef in the us, I have been waiting for this moment for so long. Loved your reactions
I'm watching this at 3am. Now where the hell do I find a sushi restaurant at this time of night? I'm starving and salivating.
They're so natural and positive and just have a totally friendly energy. Those videos feel like you wanna sit together for a meal with them.
*One of the best collabs in youtube*
Lets talk about the profile pic...where ya get it from?
Mikey, your not supposed to dip the rice in the soy sauce. That's why your rice was falling apart. You turn the sushi and dip the fish. But then like John said you do whatever you like.
Enjoyed the collab, good video!
the fish would fall off? i think youre supposed to dip it by the side or just the tip of a corner. or like they did, brush it on with the ginger
Did you see the rice falling apart?
@@koko-rl9zm yeah. one out of 10. that was probably mikes mistake, as it was the 1st one, he probably didnt know how delicate it was
@@kidrobot. Mike's poor chopstick skills don't help
@@pokeken then why didnt the rest of the sushi platter break apart..?
Both my favourite UA-camrs eating my favourite food 😀
I love it when channels run into each other, with out being competitive
@@blueraspberrylemonade32 john deffinitely won, he laughs so hard at 7:03
Yeah when I was in tokyo I loved going to the 24-hour sushi zanmai!
I love how John is looking at you with so much satisfaction as you eat and talk about the sushi
This video is such a gem, it's like watching a puppy walk in snow for the first time. I always found it odd that Mikey wasn't into sushi, it's so nice to watch him discover it.
I just LOVE this episode, your collaboration with John is amazing, two of my favourite youtuber together. You had such an amazing connection, it just worked naturally, thank you sooo much. Put that Sushi place on my bucketlist for sure ^^/
A perfect collaboration.. just what I wanted. You and John.
Best anime crossover

John rocks! John was one of the first You Tubers I started following. So nice to see you two eat together. Great video Mikey.
Got to love the way the chef prepares the sushi, definitely a part of the experience! Love your videos much love from the Netherlands
Glad to see you're keeping an open mind and expanding your horizons Mikey

edit: always good to use ctrl F before typing a comment. It means "filming allowed" apparently.
Thank you so much, I was wondering the same xx
ctrl F to find your comment thank you!
Thanks for asking i had no idea
but why do they need them though? other people record and this is first time i have seen these armbands.
John is a fantastic representative of Japan! So happy for what he has!

Wooow, good for youuuu!!!
I like how John's show focused on the tuna, but yours highlighted all the other types. Good job, guys.
Happy new year to u Mikey and all food lovers😚😚
Lol John seemed impressed by how much Mike could eat toward the end of the vid. Glad to see these two collab a video.

I went to the Ueno and Yurakucho branch and they are both consistent. I just got back yesterday and I want them to put a branch right in front of my house so I can go every day. For real.
I’m addicted to this channel. So glad I found it. Food looks amazing and looks like fun adventures too!
*Once you go sushi you never go back! Unless for second!*
I usually spit it out.
@@australian1018as an Australian you make me ashamed. Even country people love sushi in this country so either you're a bogan or a freak.
@@Zoe.m. You do know that there's actually some people who can't actually eat raw stuff right?
Best collab ever!! Please do more food videos together, you both are so epic!!!
Thank you sooooo much for this video!! My husband and I love sushi!!!
You guys are great together! I had so much fun watching you two eat sushi and thinking about when I've eaten sushi, good memories!
Finally Mike, eat more raw food!
A western guy show a Chinese how to do proper thing in Asia , what a world!
How do you mean? One lives and breathes japanese culture the other is american.
Wow
Racist

@@Blondie970821 that aint racist dumbfuck
So proud of you for venturing into the sushi world!
Proud of you Mike. Finally trying sushi and loving it !!!
Great to see you and John do a Collab since I'm also a fan of his Channel.

I never had sushi.
I want to eat sushi.

Two of my most favourite food UA-camrs in an amazing video. Happy New Year Mikey! Love you man :D
That sushi looks so so good it's a casual place but the food is very pretty high quality and affordable
Sushi is my most fave food on Earth, so I was drooling with every bite you guys took...🤤😋
Excellent video Mike (but then again, all your videos are excellent)!
Awesome my friend is so cool to see you with John you two are awesome keep up the great work.
I tried Sushi again for the first time in years because of this clip. This time, it was at a fancier Japanese establishment in Torrance CA and it's actually GOOD. I'm hooked on it now.
They're dressed like they would get along real well.
E. F. What..
😂😂
????
Happy New Year, Mike! You never failed to make feel hungry with the foods that you're eating.
And after the shooting of the video,
Mike proceeds to have another 3 servings alone
Mike! How can you live in Japan for a month and not try sushi! I'm so glad you had a great experience with it, Sushi really is wonderful. I've grown to like it, living here in Vancouver, which I've heard it argued has some of the best sushi in the world. I'm also really happy to see John with you. I love his channel as well. I wish you both a happy new year!
“It was like the ocean sneezed in my mouth” 😂😂. I laughed sooo hard!!
More sushi/sashimi and seafood videos!!! Omg all of this looked SO GOOD I had to watch it AGAIN!!!!
Love you Mikey! Your videos are amazing makes me soo hungry! Keep up the great work 😊
Two of my favorite channels finally combined into one fabulous meal!!!
About damn time! Was wondering when you'd get around to that. Some raw food (or near raw) is the best. Keeps all the flavor!
I enjoy watching Mike and John and this was a great vid to see them both in it. Like a Cross over Episode.
You make any food look so goooood! I just wanna leave Australia and travel around japan eating sushi and I don’t even like sushi that much 😋
I'm deathly allergic to shrimp and this makes me wanna try the shrimp one.
I'm so stoked to see these two together! I love both, and have stalked/subbed to their various channels, and this just eeeeeeeeeee!
i cant believe the asian food master doesnt like sushi!! omg Mike haha!
He does now!!!
Happy New Year to you!!!
Mithra
I couldn’t believe it ether. Sushi is my favorite food so I’m hoping he gets into it cause I love his trips to japan.
@@brookeggleston9314 haha yes he does! Happy New year!
Looks like he likes it. This was his first time.
John is such a friendly and knowledgeable guy! good guy
Jesus christ I didn't ever notice how buff mike is....
Luvitu5 Haha he lifts weight to eat. 😂
Luvitu5 yeah, he’s pretty jacked, I’m jealous.
He posted a video of what he does to work out actually in the other channel
Ya I do work out alot
@dash You never seen rush hour? -__-
Loved this video and it was great to see John being spontaneous and very relaxed :D
The lemon part was so funny😂😂
I actually thought they were supposed to eat it. We have sushi in America where you eat super thinly sliced lemon
Stevis Yes you taste the sourness of the lemons. But again, it’s thinly sliced, so the flavor is more like if you squeezed a few drops of lemon juice on the sushi and added some lemon zest. It’s not that strong of a lemon flavor.
I’ve been subscribed to John for a long time, his channel is so well done 😊 This was a great collab. Happy New Year
I love John so much 😭
so proud of you being a sushi convert mike!will look forward to more vids with you eating sushi 😋😍 Congrats on the 2 mil subs!totally well-deserved 👍
2 million subscribers, finally more people will see your amazing content!
Great collaboration - really enjoying watching John!
u make food look better just by eating it
This collaboration is everything! Now I want sushi 😩
Love this collaboration! Hope you guys had a great New Year! 🎉
Agree, Zanmai was my favourite restaurant for Lunch, Dinner and Breakfast sometimes.
Love Japan!
Oh yes....MORE sushi videos please!
4:03 😂
This guy treating Mike like a Japan newbie trying to teach him "itadakimasu" 😂 I went "COME ON NOW!" And I'm pretty sure the way John looks at Mike when he eats is the way we all do 😂 something between admiration and surprise haha These all look amazing! 🍣🍤
Lol I thought that was the guy from worth it
you are not the only one. lmao
Fr 😂😂😂
Lol so did i then realized isn't not
HAHHAHAHAHH same here
He just a like andrew in worth it lol
I've been waiting for this day to come 😀 John and Mike sitting side by side and eating together 😍
It's OK and actually much cooler to eat sushi with your fingers than with hashi.
Hot towel is there to clean your hands.
Literally my two favorite people to see on youtube!
The reason you don’t put sushi out on the counter for a long time is because after 10-15 seconds the freshness goes away. And also I’d recommend eating sushi with your hands cause you get know the temperature of the sushi which makes it taste better
its not the freshness itself but to eat the sushi at the optimal timing in terms of temp of the shari and neta combined..e.g. if the shari is warm (which it should be) then waiting too long will affect the condition of the neta and thus its flavour.
I was excited to see you paired up with one of my other favorite UA-camrs! So cool!
