I'm not sure who's braver, Steve who will eat bits of MREs from prior to the 20th century, or Bacons who will eat $2 fish out of a vending machine.
I have to give it to Steve because he full on knows the MREs are bad, but still eats them.
I miss Steve a lot today.
Any idea what happened to him?
It's Japan.
at a tire shop let alone
at 13:03 it nice to know that the curry vending machine (the red vending machine) is still up and running, the old man who makes the curry for the vending machines got featured on the channel "Great Big Story", title of the video is "A Homemade Meal . . . From a Vending Machine".
Didn't notice that! is it perhaps the same location, or a different one?
@@orabaki different location i think
Oh I remember that guy!
Right
Is it frozen in the machine? Has to be.
I got to say, Big ups to the people who maintain all those machines. That cannot be a inexpensive task, and I have no doubt that it's time consuming as hell.
I was fascinated when I received a cooked to order pizza out of a vending machine in the Salt Lake City airport several years ago and I've had loads of hot noodle bowls from machines in Japan, but I've never seen anything like this display!
@@B_Bodziak Ive been to the salt lake city airport many times and ive never seen this ! i hope its still there i gotta try that !
Each individual vending machine owner/company has people they send out to service and refill all of their machines in a given area. There are probably dozens of people who come in and out of this place regularly to collect money, restock, and maintain whichever machines they own
@@maddieb.4282 These vending machines are owned and maintained by one guy
Not only that, but thin of the electricity bill so many plugged in machines must rack up. Especially those vintage ones can't be very power efficient.
That place become popular and developed into largest vending machines places, because of a video from the food UA-camrs "Ericsurf6", after his video was broadcast on a Japanese local TV show, not long after that a lot of curious visitors visiting that place, and the owner added more and more vending machines... sorry for my bad English
Don't worry about it. Your English was very understandable, which is the most important thing (and yours is better than some of my fellow Americans to be honest)! 😄 Nice to have some background on how the place came to be.
I was waiting for such comment explaining why so many vending machines are located in a tyre store!! Thank you and your english skill is fine like mine, you don't need to apologize coz you have a mother language and you most be proud of it plus you learned to speak another language which is great even if you're not fluent in it.
ericsurf6 has been a legend since i was in grammar school and im grown now!
Your English is very good! Thank you for the background information.
Your english isnt perfect but its understandable
Edit : I'm just a fan of those kind of old fashion vending machines(and read some book about it) (2023/01/22)
Just in case if anyone wondering , the chazuke , udon and soba are not instant food , but freshly cooked at the spot.(The raw noodle was prepared in bowl , and the machine will cook it with boiling water when customer ordered , than drain the noodle and add soup into the bowl.)
(For chazuke , the rice is surely pre-cooked , but just refrigerated , instead of frozen-dryed.)
(Those machine has to be refilled at least once daily. For freshness.)
5:12
It's indeed used to be a genuine dry batteries vending machine back in it's glory days, but now used to sell candy.
5:33
I personally won't recommend try this one....since it's just normal "ready food" type of curry pack.
13:14
The normal instant soup , TBH....But the machine is super rare , so could give it a try.
14:19
Microwave foods.
19:14
Indeed toasted on the spot.(The tin foil pack also serves as cooking vessels.)
I saw on the map that there is a ramen shop nearby, are the machines restocked by that shop, or someone else?
Thanks
Bro literally narrating like he is whit Db lmao

I was wondering how the rice looked so good and sticky form a machine! Thank you for explaining. Those meals would be worth a try for sure!
Absolutely fascinating… the largest vending machine park in Japan, in a dirt lot, next to a tire shop, filled with old school vending machines that sell everything from umbrellas to fortunes, fish pancakes to full hot noodle bowls…and how you eat all that, I have no idea! But thanks for feeding the kitty 😸
U suck
The saying "diamond in the rough" comes to mind...
I'm just amazed that the vendors maintain all of that
Suddenly I have a bucket list!
He ate all that since he visited over several days. You can see how the water puddles disappear in the parking lot.
I LOVE the silent first-person format of these videos. I always get really excited by the mystery vending machine videos.
Huge kudos to all the engineers and designers that made all of these amazing vending machines that can serve hot meals! The closest ones to my house don’t even display the correct drinks sometimes lol
its actually a little man in there cooking everything
Haha mine didn't even show the correct message and I lost $1. I contacted the machine owner for the wrong "available" number and got a compensation but they asked me to just transfer it online... I give up😂
its actually pretty simple looking, one dude went here and the owner or a worker showed him how they work. theres a microwave inside of them
@@HotGlahbi Most of those machines are older than microwave ovens.
Thank you for always being so kind to the kitties 😸
Yes! Take care of the good little animals.
It's more like a time machine than a vending machine. Like they're bringing us to their prime era, so nostalgic
democracy singapore
welcome to the century my friend, it’s time to leave the cave 🤣
Nostalgic for you, futuristic for us Americans lol
@@HisameArtwork i love how it looks , it s perfect for me .
@@yasssighs6034 same. its got that humble, rugged, nostalgic, "walk down at 3 am, get a snack, and smoke a cig while contemplating life" kinda feel to it.
I am in love with the vintage feel of this place, all the machines look worn and well-used but that's what's charming about them
also surprise kitty appearance! I would not be surprised if they hung around the area to eat leftover food and ask people for treats
Very smart kitty! He knows where the snacks are.🐈
Those retro bottled vending machines took me back to my childhood when i'd walk down to the gas station and get a bottle of pepsi. You had to pull hard! Those were the days! Candy and soda.
Those old Coke bottle machines are just the coolest. 😎
And your teeth are all gone! :D:D:D:D
this video is awesome
Yep those are classic, but had to be taken out because anyone with a cup could get free soda by popping the top and not paying any money. (or after small fix pay for one, but pop the top of others)
Can you pull 2 same time?
The idea of some bulky, dirty, tough-looking diesel mechanics coming back from this "food dispenser tunnel" with a handful of Hello Kitty - Rainbow Edition ice cream bar, Cotton Candy & Marshmallow flavored Ramune, vampire-shaped potato chips served in a cardboard coffin container and some other animalistic or anime themed flashy food - it just cracks me up! :D
My Uncle is ex-navy and a mechanic for Caterpillar, his favorite snack is a bowl of fruity pebbles and a glass of strawberry milk. It's hilarious seeing this giant burly man eating a bowl of rainbow cereal and drinking pink milk.
Does Japan have bulky, dirty diesel mechanics?
@@theonlyabberdabber That is awesome!!
@@theonlyabberdabber That's so cute! lol
The popcorn machine was the best! And that udon with the tofu puffs and other extras looked delicious. 😋😋😋
So glad there's a culture that respects vending machines. Here in the U.S., I don't think many people understand the minor miracles that they are. You could tell the story of the world from all that's gone into a vending machine.
That cat looks like it has been hanging around the vending machines for awhile 😆 Smart kitty.
Agree. Looks well feed for being a stray.
@@Admega might be people giving it leftovers
The munchkin !
if the used bowls are stacked outside, the cats can easily hop up and lick them for food, or if people give the cats bits of food like dancing bacons did
Buddy knew where the food was!
is it just me or is it scary to be just there by yourselves playing the arcade when the sun has set ... bit eerie haha
Japan is one of the safest places to be.
@@mikufollower8564 yet also one of most depressing with world leading suicide rates
That aint the rest of the world
his babes is wid him
@@givememyusernameback still one of the safest so my point still stands
So peaceful and relaxing. Thank you for the helpful captions to inform of the ingredients of the regional foods, and how each has unique ingredients.
that camera swing....
What a cute little cat. I spent many years working on tires & wheels I think I would enjoy working there with all the vending machines.
Thank you for making this video. I first saw Japan's incredible vending scene in the mid 90's and was fascinated at all the things being sold out of vending machines back then. I still am fascinated nearly 30 years later!
Did it feel like living in an apocalyptic world where there is no other interaction but with machine...this is thrilling, and interesting!
I wish we had cool stuff like this in the states. A place like this with some park benches outdoors, a nice breeze, and some fresh air (maybe not so close to the roadway)? Literally my ideal spot.
Same here, I too wish we had stuff like this too in the states.
Once more things become automated and cooks are kicked out of the fast food chain this will be more normal. It's awesome to have those everywhere but imagine having half of your once "fast food" meals become shelved and frozen in these machines. Yum.
We have them. They're called food trucks!
Actually, there are a few interesting vending machines scattered throughout the US. The salt lake city baggage claim terminal C area has a couple of machines that dispense hot food. One even custom makes and cooks individual pizzas and the one I ate was actually tasty. I was grateful after a delayed flight that arrived too late for delivery or room service at my hotel with nothing else open in the airport. I think these would be a huge success in college dormitories if someone had the capital to order 50 machines, design and order the food items needed to set them up and pay a couple of people to service them once each week. I can see students paying $10 for an individual pizza or bowl of fresh ramen.
@@jessicabecause3717 I think cooks will be the one group of restaurant workers that won't be fully automated. Within the next decade, we're going to see most industries lose jobs to automation. Some factories are already fully automated with only a tech person on site. All new construction on apartment/condo buildings in some cities must now include the technology to accommodate automated deliveries that can leave a packing location on a truck and arrive at the apartment building without a human being involved at all. It won't be long before long haul truck drivers are obsolete.
Your country has already the obesity problem, imagine with this vending machine. You clearly don't have a food culture
I’ve seen quite a few videos from this vending machine place and they always show the same machines over and over.
Thank you!!!! For showing us different machines, different foods and for walking us down the inside to see some of the less common offerings they have. I had no idea it was so extensive since everyone else just shows the same Ramen, Hamburger and cup noodle machines.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, as I do with all your videos.
Have a happy holiday season with all your friends and loved ones!!! ✌🏻💕😃
I'm jumping on your comment to say YES! Thank you for mentioning. I've always wanted to see them all.
@@Emeraldwitch30 I bet you could do a full hour of this vending machine area and not show the same thing twice!
I’m definitely going to check this out next spring when I go to Japan!! I cannot wait to see everything they offer. You have a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones and thanks for agreeing with my comment!!!! ✌🏻💕😃 🎄
@@melissadunton3534 you have a great holiday with your family too
We are listening to the wind howl and the snow come down here in michigan.
But we are warm and I have all the cooking done for our family feast tomorrow. Knock on wood but I think we got it done lol. 🥰 have a lovely night/day
@@Emeraldwitch30 thank you so much!!!! It’s also snowy here in Pennsylvania. But the wind is what’s getting us this year. The wind chill factor today is already at -13*F. I’m in the northeast part of the state…so we get the windy fronts off of the Finger Lakes. I know you know how that is in Michigan! We’re doing our holiday dinner and celebration next weekend…so tomorrow is Chinese take out and Christmas movies!!! Which has become kind of a tradition in itself. 😃
Glad you’re going to have a wonderful holiday with the people you love, that’s what keeps life moving and smiles on faces. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!! Keep warm and much love ✌🏻🥰😘
@@melissadunton3534 lol its windy but not too bad where I am today. Our family party tonight and Chinese buffet tomorrow 😋 its become traditional to eat Chinese on Christmas here too!
THANK YOU! Most people have filmed eating only 2-3 things like the hamburger, ramen and icecream. FINALLY some content other than those!
I loved seeing all the vintage machines and arcade, reminded me of my childhood here in the US! I can't believe how good some of the food in them looked, like the noodle & rice dishes. Also really enjoy the upshots where the food comes out. Thanks for another awesome video 💕
The way some of the vending machines look old/aged yet work perfectly fine, feels... *supernatural* in some way. Like the machines aren't maintained by people who come by every day. They just continue to work and replenish their stock somehow, and that's why they're all gathered here.
*That cute little cat eating the snack!* I remember flying out to Japan from here in Los Angeles, back in 1989, to work on a movie for two months. The vending machines, even back then, were fun to buy things from. Even my hotel room fridge had a little vending machine inside it! Many thrills. Merry Christmas! 💜
To work on a movie? That’s awesome
I've been to Japan from the US several times, and my first visit was around the same time as your trip. I remember these hot food vending machines seemed to attract the late-night, hungry after-the-bars-close crowd. Like an automated noodle food truck.
In LA these machine wouldn't make it through a day
@@coldestbeerfor reals. Too many hungry people. Even homeless would spend their whole panhandling finance on a warm and good quality meal.
@@coldestbeer
That’s because LA is “multicultural“ now. When LA was still super white, vending machines would’ve been just fine and not broken into.
I knew it was only a matter of time before dancingbacons headed to the famous vending machine park! Thanks for showing us DB!
Now I just feel robbed about truck stops and such lol.. candy apples and umbrellas and hot curry o my! 💚
I'm in awe of all the interesting kei cars In the background of this video. From the wood paneled models to the s660 towards the beginning of the video. Such a cool backdrop to this relaxing and calming video
Thank you for showing dishes and items other than the ones other UA-camrs have already shown us from this place, DB. And happy holidays!
That should be a museum. It looks awesome. I really love your revolving sushi videos.
This is so fun! I’m impressed with how old but well maintained these machines are!
A lot of this stuff looks so good. Comfy foods that are cheap are always something I can enjoy. I wish my country could have some of these machines
I was watching this half asleep and when i saw the mini arcade at 25:10 i instantly woke up and said to myself ' Hello, what do we have here?!' .... 😸😻😹love it!!!
can you geo tag the arcade? I want to go there one day...
even though you probably share most of your food with Ms.Bacon, it still amazed me how much you can eat!!. If I have a huge stomach I also want to buy every single food there lol. Being there must feel like you got transported to early 2000.
Ikkk! all of these food channels r so cool, they can eat so muchhh. Lucky
So many vending machines! I wonder how long it took to get such a collection...Meals look good too!
I had never tried a vending machine before...want to try someday.
Bruh
At the time like this, I really jealous at Japan, very useful for introvert like me, no interaction more than necessary, really heaven for me
So Cool you were finally able to make it to the vending machine ‘’mecca’’….. my anxiety thanks you for making your videos. ❤
These machines are fantastic! So rustic and yet still working as intended. It's clear the people keeping them running care a great deal for them. :)
I find these vending machine videos so intriguing!
Its amazing too how respectful people using the vending machines are - leaving the bottles and bowls.. In my country people wouldn't be so courteous and just keep the bottles or leave a mess. Very polite people :)
These vending machine videos are my favourite to watch, thanks for making them! So interesting and I like how you pick a variety of foods from the machines to show.
I've been subscribed to you for a few years now and this is my first time commenting i really do enjoy watching you try so many wonderful meals😊
I loved when he mentioned that they even have some retro machines, and I thought "Hey that are the ones we have in germany!"
it always amazes me how good the quality is of the food in these vending machines. and for cheap, reasonable prices too. imagine if america would do this. they dont even have this in the cities where they could pull it off. japan is such a great place because they actually care about their people
Yeah this would be great in LA
They would pull it off in any low-income areas, honestly. We already have an entire ecosystem of Americans that actively CHOOSE to eat at McDonald's, burger King, Wendy's, etc etc, what have you. The same sample of people would likely eat from these vending machines, too, I think.
I can see these being a hit in college dormitories. You can design one to produce/cook just about anything.
What a fascinating place, the range of eras represented is so cool. Like getting to eat and time travel 😄
I love watching videos from this place. Japanese video machines are great we have nothing but, soda and junk food in the vending machines here in the US. I would love to visit this place and try some of the products. Thank you for making this video.
Gosh, Japan is a heaven for vending machine nerds. Respects to the maintenance folks who keep this atmosphere alive.
When a mommy vending machine and a daddy vending machine love each other very much. They go to a random tire factory to make more baby vending machines.
The kitsune udon seemed absolutely lovely and made me crave the vegetarian ramen I always take when going to a fusion restaurant near where I live! Have fun while being there!
Holy shit this is it this is the channel's final boss area. From pizza vending machine in the street to MACHINE PARK. Love to see it.
Kodak right off the bat. I am in the city where Kodak is located. Cool to see that machine there. Great upload & Happy new year guys !
The more mechanical vintage machines are the most fascinating. Something about gears, knobs, and analog timers is just cool. I really enjoy the hot food ones.
This video is the closest we've ever been to a face reveal
I've seen this place before, but it looks like they've upped their game on their hot food items. Everything looked amazing!! Nice video!!! 😛👏
I visited here a couple of months ago. It isn't easy to get to from Tokyo station, but it's sure worth it. I only tried the hamburger x 2 and tuna sandwich x 2 and they were really filling.
these old and rundown vending machines are actually spitting out decent looking food and thats mind blowing to me, japan was ahead of the time.
That was a LOT of vending machines. Funny that the video ends with a Gundam arcade machine
I'm just Stunned, the Soba coming out in a Bowl?!? It's like someone is Really in there making you a bowl of hot soup, Wild! 🍜🍝🧃
Also, Thank You So Very Much, Dancing Bacons, your content has been a Delight! Happy Holidays & thank you again for Gifting us with your time & adventures 💝🙏✨
There are tiny people cooking soba in that machine 😂 /s
@@philvee727 I was thinking somewhere along the lines of Oompa Loompas😁
Your positivity for the different foods was really nice to read
The owner clearly is in it to share his collection with the world and not make a profit with those prices. What a nice person.
Those soba noodles looked amazing! Thank you for sharing!!!
Yeah this place is fairly famous, situated in the middle of an industrial estate where it is probably unprofitable to open a eatery or even a fast food outlet. There are even 1/12 scale models of some of these machines, such as the udon and soba machine.
This was a really neat video. Very cool. And this guy has one serious appetite! Thanks for sharing
The radical corn on the front of the American popcorn machine made me smile, but the scratchy hip-hop and country music had me dying.
I've seen many videos from this area and each person gets diffrent things and I love seeing it each time
This place feels like something out of a dream. Thank you so much for sharing.
I just want to point he spent 4,260 Yen (~$40) and got like 7 meals.

"stick snack" - 20Y
a fortune card - 100Y
candy apple - 450Y
The arcade at the end broke my heart, I could just see that place being packed with kids back in the day
Ive always heard the cost of living in japan is very high. I am very surprised to see how affordable all these items were (especially if taken recently). A 20oz coke here would run you $2.50 - $3 here in the US.
Same thoughts - the prices are around the same or even less than what small cafeterias charge here in Dubai.
If I'm working in that area of Japan I'd probably go there everyday to eat
mostly just the housing in cities and if you plan to own a car, otherwise most things are fairly affordable
I absolutely adore Japanese vending machines! Wish the States would do the same but unfortunately there are too many unresponsible adults who would vandalize them
Do we really need more processed meals? They’d be overpriced and disgusting quality
Thats so not the issue at all. Its the lack of compressed population and food supply chains to remote kitchens to supply these machines. If the US had density maybe we could but you gotta haul all those morons from flyover country to cities if you wanna live like this.
we need more grocery stores with fresh produce, not factory made slop like this
Aucun savoir vivre au Canada non plu!
@@sarkaranishxactly, there’s already enough processed food ‚ready to eat‘ stuff out there. I’m from germany but it’s basically the same here, except fresh vegetables and fruit are a bit cheaper here than us. But fresh meat is really expensive nowadays too, at least if you want to buy decent one
All of that honestly looked really good
I loved seeing all the variety of vending machines and food :) it was fun to watch thanks for sharing
Mmm! That udon and hotdog looked so good! So cute that you gave some food to the cat 🐈 😊.
yes!
Except the hotdog was tainted by the ketchup. Real hotdogs have mustard. No ketchup. >:( Dems da rools.
@@The_Gallowglass I’m glad to see another non-poopy baby bitch here
@@The_Gallowglass haha 😂 not my hotdogs!! I love condiments! I put everything on mine...ketchup, mustard, mayo, sauerkraut, relish, baked beans, mirepoix, caramelized onions, and horseradish 🤣
@@The_Gallowglass Imagine gatekeeping hot dogs.
Wow a lot of those plates came out like a restaurant, and the machines are so interesting! You have do a part 2
Flynn Crump drinking soul on blue fizzy cocktail vs. Soul Evans eating soul.😂
I love this video, unlike other channels they don’t show all the options you can pick from the machines, and he’s picking all things I would eat, you have good taste my man 👍
And there’s no incessant yapping in a high pitched voice. and more so, no ASMR! Just chill.❤
Thank you for showing the street gastronomic food from Japan to the world. Greetings form Portugal. Merry Christmas
I love Japanese curry and that beef curry looked fantastic as for the glass bottle sodas there is no better way to have them except in glass chilled in ice. Thanks for the video you two it was fun this time
Saw this place on UA-cam a few years ago, happy to watch someone else's experience there.
I love this video so much I’ve rewatched it like 4 times.
This is so cool! Its like a vending machine museum! I love how there is one that sells camera film, that is so Japan lol
Glad to see DB!!! Caught a glimpse of you in reflection. I'd be afraid of eating out of those machines but your video was very entertaining!!!
Man you always have good stuff but this is definitely one of your better videos
My introduction to Oolong tea was from a Japanese vending machine. It wasn't what I expected, growing up in the U.S. with iced tea, but I became addicted to it!
Wow, I didn't know they were still even making those Kodak disposable cameras. You can truly find anything in a vending machine these days.
I saw them here in Meijer and Walmart. I wonder where they even get them processed.
@@Emeraldwitch30 probably have a mail-in scheme.
@@VladamireD I actually stopped at our local big box store in michigan meijer.
They still take film at their photo center! I guess people still use it. But most of their photo business is digital.
Merry Christmas, my 🦌 💃🥓!! I hope you have a wonderful one, and everyone reading this!! Sending love from Baton Rouge, Louisiana!! 💙💙
Very cool! Thank you for showing this to us!
It started with the motivation of his personal hobby. He loves old vending machines of showa era. They are his precious collections
Looks simply amazing, Anyone can eat anything without any hesitation just using a machine? that's incredible !!
You have an AMAZING channel and you show the COOLEST foods! Thank you
Pro tip, on the vintage bottle machine you can pull 2 bottles out at the same time.
It looks like you can get fresh vegetables from the nearby garden plots too. Fascinating.
I like seeing the outskirts of Japanese cities. What an interesting place to have the largest collection of vending machines.
The machines look well-used but the food looked very good. Great video. Thank you, DancingBacons.
That's probably the best mark of good cheap food is a well used machine. Means people keep coming back to it.
I love the sub "Wow! It's delicious!" under the filthiest sandwich I ever seen. The tyre shop adds a further layer of poetry
EXCELLENT video. My wife and I enjoyed very much! Thank you!!!!
This would be truly an interesting experience for me. I'm a little iffy on vending machine food. Had good and bad experiences over the years. I would expect that they have improved tremendously over the years however. Its Christmas time here in the states states so happy Christmas, holidays, or however you celebrate. Just keep the smiles coming is all we ask. So much joy in these smiles makes the videos worth while watching. Happy holidays miss bacon and camera man.
they're safe as heck unless it's a chinese vending machine. The Japanese pioneered that tech and brought it to the mainstream
