This looks like such down to earth, family restaurant type food. I'm great with fancy presentation and expensive ingredients, but a hearty satisfying meal like one of these is definitely a treat too.
Enjoyed the intro deviation with no food spoilers... I think it enhances the reveal of all these amazing dishes. In any case, great vid and thanks for all your hard work.
You'll love it. If you get a chance to return then I'd highly recommend visiting in late November. The fall leaves are gorgeous. I wan't to return one day for cherry blossom season.
I watch these videos to help me fall asleep at night....i take a drink everytime he says "sooooo good" or "umami" and i'm passed out before the video is over.
I love bento boxes. We became addicted to them in the 1980s watching "Shogun", an elaborate samurai-themed TV series starring Richard Chamberlain. Our wealthy landlord, a retired Mitsubishi engineer who'd lived in Japan for years, made artsy bento boxes every night for favorite tenants he invited to watch the elaborate drama on his then-rare bigscreen color TV. Back in the day, that was a major treat.
Mike I was wondering where you been it's been a while missing the daily dose of deliciousness glad to have you back and I hope you had a good New Year's (American New Year's)
Definitely saving this place on my Go To Places List in Japan. Already have planned to go to Japan in April for the sakuras and the food of course XD Also can't wait to try out Chuka-Soba Tomita Ramen.
I really hope you planned also visiting Fukuoka The birthplace of ramen and ichiran first restaurant. I was there two weeks ago Absolutely awesome experience 😃
I trying a keto diet this year or at least for a few months but I love Asian and Japanese cuisine, which i cant have at the moment, so it was a blessing to eat with you today lol. Everything looks so good!
I’ve just arrived in Kyoto today and after Tokyo and Osaka I always love the more peaceful feeling here. Have been looking for a tempura udon place and that looks perfect!
There’s a good chicken tempura udon place in Kagawa prefecture. Its in Shikoku so it might be a bit far but Kagawa prefecture is the most famous udon prefecture in Japan and also has the best udon
Missed you mikey!! Belated happy birthday and Merry Christmas to you and your family and the lovely gf, and a brand new life full of blessings and happiness and adventures! God bless you and keep you and protect you and those you love and the fans and watchers of yours! 🎉🎉🙏🥳🎶😋☺️❤️Have a peaceful and healthier New Year 2023!! 🥳
Japanese food is just about my favorite cuisine. Especially tempura. Box lunches the best. Udon noodles I've never tried. Beautiful city Kyoto. Everything looks incredible edible.🔥🔥🔥🔥♥♥♥😋😋😎
Mike ! you HAVE to go to this egg restaurant that serves you different types of eggyolks in rice! it looks so good. Also the abalone restaurant in jeju island
When you are eating udon, I was thinking about making udon for lunch, and when you are eating yakisoba I started thinking about making yakisoba for lunch. LOL what should I eat?😅
Hi Mikey awesome video I’ve been watching your videos for years have you ever done Chinese food video actually in china maybe show us food spots in your hometown in china?
I am mesmerized by the dancing bonito flakes
This looks like such down to earth, family restaurant type food. I'm great with fancy presentation and expensive ingredients, but a hearty satisfying meal like one of these is definitely a treat too.
I patiently awaiting for the day I go back to Japan, until then this Japan video series will fill that void. Thank you for another great video!
We missed you Mike, I hope you had good holidays my fellow noodle addict.

I always thought I was the only one who didn’t like the intro. I actually look away during the intro as not to spoil the surprise😂.
Japan is on the bucket list.
Woo been waiting on another video...something to watch and get hungry from before going to sleep.
Must see the snow monkeys in the mtns of Kyoto. Surprisingly the best part of my Japan trip. Love Japan!
I hope you had a wonderful birthday and Happy New Year to ya!

The birthplace of ramen and ichiran first restaurant.
I was there two weeks ago
Absolutely awesome experience 😃
Ohh wow this looks amazing
Love this Mikey!
Nice food as always. But I am more curious on how does the result look on your cholesterol level from your annual physical exam
Prob high
High as hell
Im currently planning for my third Japan trip and LOVE UDON! Great vid
always love asian foods 😋
They need to put more Asian people in music and media...it's irritating how often they are overlooked.
You're the best Mike!
Hard working man still out there.
I enjoyed the "walk" parts of the vid.
And always food deets. Stay classy, Mike.
I love this it looks delish ❤❤
That tempura looked gorgeously delicious. Made me hungry 🤣🤣
Everything looked really good, got my appetite going.
okonomoyaki...
You sir make me hungry at 3am. Now I am craving Japanese dishes. That food looked so amazing.
wake up babe, mike posted!!
🤣🤣
Lol.. did you just say fukin good 51 secs in? Luv it.. my kinda guy
He said "fluffy".
That suite looks amazing. Can you post a link to the hotel so I can check it out? Thanks
The hotel is called The Westin Miyako Kyoto
Thanks for sharing your trip to Kyoto! Great video!
I learned to make Okonomiyaki in Hiroshima. The style is a little different than in Kyoto but both are amazing!!
I love how he says the word over and over basically teaching it to you, many people wouldn't remember if he said it once.
I trying a keto diet this year or at least for a few months but I love Asian and Japanese cuisine, which i cant have at the moment, so it was a blessing to eat with you today lol. Everything looks so good!
Mike Chen: This is delicious!
Also Mike Chen: But what would send this over the top...is my hot oil!
Man that guy coats way too much of that on his food 😂
Though Mike Chen isn't going to upload another video and then he uploads at the right time as I'm about to eat perfect timing
When is this dude? Your timeline are confusing 😵 is it before winter?🤔
I’ve just arrived in Kyoto today and after Tokyo and Osaka I always love the more peaceful feeling here.
Have been looking for a tempura udon place and that looks perfect!
There’s a good chicken tempura udon place in Kagawa prefecture. Its in Shikoku so it might be a bit far but Kagawa prefecture is the most famous udon prefecture in Japan and also has the best udon
Mikey! It has been quiet, hope yall are doing okay.
Why would you hope he has been doing ok? He has been trying to sell you garbage hotpot kits and garbage chili oil.
@@jamesbael6255 lol are you a competitor?
@@jamesbael6255 A simple question asking about his well-being learn to be a better person James
@@jamesbael6255 I have his chili oil it’s pretty good why are you so angry
Great video
I really enjoyed Kyoto as well.
It's smaller and traditional and peaceful compared to Osaka or Tokyo.
I just had a Bonito pizza at a friend's birthday 🎂 Wow wow wow. Better than anchovies on a pizza 🍕 😋
Don't go away so long, Mikey!! Was worried a little, lol!!!
Great content as usual Mikey ! Looks delicious
I'm loving it :)

When you are eating udon, I was thinking about making udon for lunch, and when you are eating yakisoba I started thinking about making yakisoba for lunch. LOL what should I eat?😅
Yemekler güzelmiş keyifli

Hi Mikey awesome video I’ve been watching your videos for years have you ever done Chinese food video actually in china maybe show us food spots in your hometown in china?
He actually can't go back to China
@@xionglian4855 Cos of religious persecution and his outspokenness of CCP and their human rights abuses.
@@xionglian4855 yes it does he would be detained on arrival because of his religious practices and views there are many political prisoners in china
Mike's great,from will one targeted individual, you help bring me out of this huge set I'm on Thanks BRO.
Which hotel did you stay in, in Kyoto?
Could you tell me what the name of the hotel you stayed in Kyoto in please, looked very nice.
dont worry guys, he said fluffy
OMG I thought Mike said the F word, I had to rewind that lol.
The shinkansen bento boxes > ekiben can be a bit hit and miss
Been absent for so many days. Long to see your new vdo.
Happy new year Mikey! I can't eat okonomiyaki because it's way too heavy/rich for me but that one looks goooood!
As an American 🇺🇸 who doesn’t speak Japanese, I would retire in Kyoto❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Does anyone what hotel he stayed at in the beginning of the video?
An naughty word at the 50 mark? Mr. Chen is changing.
Agreed - way off-brand. Not a good look.
@@DW-xt7vz Off-brand for a child, not for a man.
He said fluffy
@@DW-xt7vz what's wrong with "fluffy"?
He said fluffy but sounded like the f bomb
