24 Hours in AKITA | 4 Things to do in Japan's CHICKEN Capital

Ойын-сауық

Akita is home to Japan's most luxurious chicken called Hinai Jidori. We go in search of the juiciest chicken, the cutest Akita dogs and the scariest monsters in Japan on our road trip across the region!
Ryotaro and I recently travelled across Tohoku and this video was just part of our trip. Read more about where we went here!

    NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Would you let the Namahage demons in to scare the hell out of your kids? Back on the road with Ryotaro in search of Japan's rarest chicken and it didn't disappoint. God bless Yakitori, my favourite dish.

    Only close-minded people think they can only be friends with people they're exactly like. You don't have to have a lot in common to vibe well together. Me, I have always felt and been treated like I'm vastly different and an outsider. I am not a people person because of this. But on the rare occasions I meet someone I vibe well with, I couldn't care less how much common ground we have. As long as someone is cool to me and doesn't give me bad vibes, I'll be friends with them.

    Considering Akita were bred for hunting bears and other large animals, I'm not surprised they're so massive!

    comments like these make me laugh cuz it reminds me that no one know whats involved in bear hunting. not saying akitas werent bred for bear hunting, but if you think bear hunting involves letting a dog go mono a mono with a bear thats why its the size it is, is fucking wrong lol. what they did was bred akitas to be aggressive and not be scared of big predators as opposed to other dogs whose instincts would tell them to avoid larger predators. you hunt bears with a pack of dogs, about 3-6, those dogs will scare and chase bears till they get tired or stuck up a tree, which is then when a hunter comes and kills the bear. bear hunting dogs do not actually hunt the bears/attack them. so really the size isnt really the thing, thats important about bear hunting dogs, though size helps, more scary than 3 chihuahuas. i mean we use pointers and coonhounds here in the US and theyre "bear" bunting breeds but they arent big. this is the same for hunting mountain lion, or cougar where i come from

    Probably not at all correct, just guessing, but in restaurants guests and superiors in workplaces usually gets seated inside or towards the end. This was back when lords and people of power were protected from assassins etc. Riotoro may just be showing a sign of courtesy as it seems he’s sitting towards the door.

    んだんだ, great video Chris! I've lived in Akita for 6 months and can confirm that's one of the best place to experience the "real" Japan. Like most of Tohoku is one of the less touristy regions of Japan, but Akita prefecture is perhaps the least known by foreigners. Its rice, the Komachi rival that of Niigata, and the Kiritampo nabe is such a treat when the temperature drops and outside start snowing. Tohoku's and Akita's people are some of the friendliest and warmest, despite their infamous cold reputation. In winter is beautiful to snow there and to visit the Kamakuras and drink nihon-shu inside with locals! The Akita bijin is true, but unfortunately most of the real Bijin goes to Tokyo or the big cities!

    While Hachiko may be the most famous Akita inu, there's another fictional one that's surprisingly popular here in Northern Europe/Finland. The early-mid 80's manga and anime Ginga nagareboshi Gin tells the story of a Akita puppy that's trained to hunt bears in the northern wilderness and eventually he joins a group of other dogs to take down the tyrant of the mountains, the massive bear Akakabuto. The Ginga series by Yoshihiro Takahashi has multiple spinoffs and continuations but the original is still my favourite.

    While Chris might not particularly love this, taking a bike around Tazawako, or visiting the nearby soy sauce brewery (with actually very tasty soy sauce ice cream), and then of course checking out Kakunodate (which is also nearby), is amazing, especially in Hanami season. In August, the Omagari fireworks festival is a nice trip because it's really huge and the shinkansen station is literally walking distance from the venue, so easy to get there and back from Sendai.

    I didn't know Akita was a prefecture in Japan, I thought it was just a breed of dog, so I really appreciate this video. My cousins had an Akita dog. She was such a teddy bear with us kids, letting the younger ones hold onto her fur and leading them around while they were learning to walk. But if you were a stranger, she was mean. She was fiercely protective, and once bit a man's leg off when he broke in to their home.

Most of his favorite dishes were meat heavy so as to be as far away from vegetables as possible...but I always imagined he also liked it as he lost his own mother, so the name of it was a comfort to him.
