17:00 "The texture of the white rice, with any sauce that's very flavorful, is like the best thing in the world." *Local MRE reviewer discovers Asian delicacy*
Thanks for the great video. From Japan It is a menu structure that emphasizes calorie quickly rather than appearance and luxury. Field kitchens usually provide hot meals, but rations are eaten when these cannot be provided. Soldiers take turns eating in the trenches. To eat quickly, warm the retort pouch in your clothes and eat it without transferring it to a tray. We are instructed to bury and dispose of garbage so as not to leave the number of people and information to the enemy.
I disagree, this look absolutely delicious! You should see US rations, they're a lot more bland, and some are just gross. Hell, one meal is called by soldiers "vomelette", portmanteau of "vomit" and "omlette" because it, well looks like vomit
I have an uncle who served in the Japanese military sometime around early 2000s. One time he jokingly said that he would bring these food in pouches back to us as souvenirs. I kinda regret crying to decline about it.
Japan has worked out that "rice with sauce on it" is a combination that works really well, and that they worked out a sensible way to put that in a bunch of pouches and let soldiers in the field eat what's basically a fairly common civilian dish (the equivalent to a donburi, effectively) is probably going to be a pretty decent morale thing - connects them to their homes, basically.
"And this spork its awesome....such a durable spork...I make sure to save em" Go to Steve's house, hit his kitchen to open his silverware drawer....all MRE spoons and sporks
That white rice was so overcooked it's not funny. The white rice should be individual grains not looking like mashed potatoes. The rice looks like mochi
@@drmayeda1930 Japanese white rice is mushy like that, they use short-grain rice (rice japonica). Though it is a bit mushier than a home-cooked rice, understandable coming from a MRE.
@@drmayeda1930 asian rice is different from western rice. asian rice tends to be stickier and mushier like that because its usually eaten with chopsticks, whereas western rice is usually eaten with a spoon. theres a pretty notable difference between rice grains/preparation styles if youve ever gone out to various different restaurants (basmati rice, jasmine rice, glutinous rice, wild rice, etc.)

It's actually labelled as hamburger in katakana. And what you get is just that, it's the meat portion of a burger served in a slightly sweet sauce whereas a salisbury steak typically has a mixture of other meats to it. The closest thing we have to that here is a chopped sirloin, or as you said, a hamburger steak.
@@FourElemental Of course it's spelled differently, they use katakana to spell it. And the label did read "ハンバアガア" or "hanbaagaa" if you can't read it. Which, as you've guessed, means "hamburger".

"Naisu!"
The Japanese troops are eating good. Damn, that looks delicious.
Well, the Japanese government do care for their troopers gear and food wise.
@@2diefor It's rice with sauce. The US spent 30 years trying to make shelf stable pizza for the troops and finally did it.
@@jhaz89 pizza, the most requested food in decades
Well the food is the good news for the JSDF troops. That bad news is "Godzilla has just reached Tokyo"...
@@jhaz89 how many years do you think they needed to create a shelf stable cooked rice?
Hey Steve...
I've been down with the flu since Monday and just wanted to thank you for these videos which have kept me sane and staved off boredom...I am grateful beyond words and hope you're well brother.
Glad to see ya back Steve. Got worried that all those MREs got you
Nice! Congrats on 1 million subs by the way.
Hey thanks so much DaFookas! It's so surreal to me still.
As an Asian, I approve of the rice with rice. =)

I'm also an Asian, I have rice with a side of rice, covered in rice broth.

I enjoy rice lumpy, cold, and unseasoned.
Same with grits.
Japanese: *make MRE with it's own tray*
Steve: This is not how we do things here! You're going on a tray!
4:23 alright, let's put this tray on a tray. Nice!
My thought exactly, LOL
Nice! mmkay
Noice
That's a very Japanese thing to do though. Like a single apple wrapped in plastic packaged in a box.
*rice
Rice with a side of rice and some sauce for your rice
Emergency rice for rice purposes
For all three meals too, hahaha. Stereotype confirmed.
@Jimmy Sakura Gakuin Fan and it's cheap, they're Asian, and that's 90 percent of their diet
So thats a large order of rice, 2 sides of brown rice and some rice wine...anything else sir?
You'd like extra rice with your rice?
@@voldo18 I'd like some rice cake with that too
Steve, you're my earthy, sweet root... Savoury, sweet and complex.
Sounds delicious. Lest put him on a tray.
@@spencerdecoteau8038 *Nice hiss.*
Hell yeah
wow, that just looks like a lot of food compared to other MRE's, it really looks like it would leave you satisfied and full. a lot of carbs but that's what you need in the kind of situations you would be eating these in. Thanks for showing them off!
So much rice! Perfect if you want your soldiers to have a couple of hours sleep after each meal 😂
The man, the tray, the NICE is back! Missed you Steve!
"Nice". I swear, the optimistic way you seem to approach every ration leads me to believe you're a former marine.
there’s a wikipedia article about him, he never served but his uncle did which was how he became passionate about rations
What your reference for comparison? Are you a marine? :)
I love Japanese MrE very simple and straightforward.
probobly the best mre ive seen yet its like an actual meal
Steve I believe that's what Japan calls "Hamburg steak', not hamburger. It's basically salisbury steak.
Probably made with "aibiki hiki niku" (beef & pork mince).
It's actually labelled as hamburger in katakana. And what you get is just that, it's the meat portion of a burger served in a slightly sweet sauce whereas a salisbury steak typically has a mixture of other meats to it.
The closest thing we have to that here is a chopped sirloin, or as you said, a hamburger steak.
no Hamburger is spelled differently in japanese
@@FourElemental Of course it's spelled differently, they use katakana to spell it. And the label did read "ハンバアガア" or "hanbaagaa" if you can't read it. Which, as you've guessed, means "hamburger".
@@fuzzyscarfandmittens4772 no They spell ハンバーグ as hamburger and ハンバーガ as hamburger steak one character makes a big difference
I'VE BEEN WAITING
for an MRE like you... to come into my life...
Thanks Steve! Well worth the wait!!
This ration looks so damn good wtf. Props to Japan
The Japanese eats rice with rice
10/10 with rice
Double the rice, double the *nice*
With rice pudding and rice wine..Their bread,of course,are rice cakes.😅😅
Sure do.
you are legitimately correct in some ways. They genuinely consider noodles or buns as something you eat alongside white rice.

Tray on a tray...inception shit right there.
Just commented before looking at comments total trayception my dude
@@briangs13 trayception 😂 like it!
worst movie ever. 30 minutes of watching a van never hit the water. a dream within a dream? about as deep as taking a sh*t in a porto pottty.
Yes ! Finally Steve ! I’ve been waiting so long 😭
Curry in the morning, curry in the evening, curry at supper time! When currys on your rice, you can eat curry all the time!
I’m on a MRE Steve Marathon while eating chicken and dumpling MREs from 11 years ago
that "boiled hamburger" looks a lot like salisbury steak.
You're sort of right. In Japanese it's "hanbagu", or "hamburger steak." Really common in Japan after World War II.
Reminds me of college where the dining hall would have hamburgers one day and then salisbury steak the next.
I love Salisbury steak! Omg yum!! I want some now.
@@johngingras And then if there were still leftovers, mystery casserole on day 3.
@@chitoryu12 thats a slightly sweeter, softer version of the western Salisbury steak/meatloaf with more a curry than a gravy sauce?
Welcome back, Steve! We missed you.
That "cooking plastic bag" system is genious! Props to the creators

Which is misleading, because most people can survive total starvation for 3 weeks.
