Why can't you eat pork?

During the Tokyo Olympics, the Italian media team loved Saizeriya so much that they went there every day.🤣

When I was studying abroad in Japan I used to go to Saizeriya ALL THE TIME. It is so good and so cheap. Haters can pry my buffalo cheese pizza from my cold dead hands.

Been learning hiragana for the last couple months and being able to read ‘irasshaimase’ made me very happy!

MOS Burger is 100% going to be among one of my first stops when I finally go to Japan. 😆

Not to discourage anyone from trying anything at least once but be prepared for a whole different burger experience…in a not so great way. The meat almost tastes boiled if that makes any sense.

Nah MOS Burger highkey sucks. There’s much better burger joints

Big MOS Burger fan here! Loved the video, thank you!

I just realized that you slurp your noodles when you eat. It's cool to see as it's the customary way to eat noodles as a Japanese person. Love the channel keep it up

Thank you very much for your posting! I'm glad that you have enjoyed Komeda-Coffee-Morning (reasonable breakfast)!

I could not imagine being in a big city and getting a lunch or dinner sized dish for what is currently just under 7 bucks usd. Family restaurant looks like a diner, I wouldn't be surprised if that's inspired by American diners

absolutely my fav youtuber to date. you go girl!!! very honest, and useful content. Not like commercial and entertainment like others. Very unique. no BS

Awesome idea for a series! I could watch this all day.

Aw, feels like it's been ages since I've seen Alyssa pop in! Another great video, I love the idea of a message on the bottom of the bowl!

MOS Burger is my husband go-to restaurant in Japan. He said he would love to bring the whole restaurant to US if he could. Anyway I LOVE, LOVE, LOVEEE when you say "itadakimasu" - so cute!

Was just about to go to bed. And what happened? A Seerasan video! 💜Haha, now I am hungry. AGAIN!😁

"Soba" can be used as an umbrella term for noodles with medium thickness as well, which means that Udon is excluded because they are thick, and Somen is too thin. When Chinese noodles were introduced to Japan, they were called "Chuka Soba", which means Chinese noodle because they had similar thickness to Soba, and they eventually evolved into Today's Ramen. However, Spaghetti or any other Italian pasta with similar thickness have never been called "Italian Soba" or European Soba." So Western ones are excluded as well, I guess.

Good explanation I like it! Let me add couple more confusing ones. First one is Yakisoba (Japanese style Chow Mein). It comes with not buckwheat noodles but egg noodles. The second one is Okinawa Soki Soba. The noodles are made with flour like Udon.😘

Love these! Gets me familiar with chains so when I visit Japan I get an idea of what my options are! Thanks Sarah!

Listen, Sarah. good job. i really had fun watching you do things and go to places that I would like to visit.

When Ramen arrived in Japan from China, it was first called "Shina-Soba". Shina was an older term for China, so basically "Chinese Noodles". But as time passed they went into just calling it Ramen.

My mother's maiden name was Moosburger, and there is a city of Moosburg in Bavaria near Passau. So when we went to Japan I just had to make a photo of a Mosburger joint. But we found our burger elsewhere.

As a vegan MosBurger was such a find! I had one in Osaka and Hiroshima. Unfortunately the one in Yuniba didnt do vegan burgers.

Aaaaah the mystery is solved! I'm sure you've probably mentioned it before, but I've noticed you tend to go with vegetarian dishes for preference, but occasionally in like the street food videos you'll eat meat. It's the pork you're avoiding, and having spent a fortnight in Japan I wakarimasu how tricky that can be. It's everywhere! I actually quite like pork, but it seemed whenever I was hoping for chicken or beef, it was barely on the menu, if at all in a lot of places. I somehow went the whole trip without finding a single chicken katsudon; it's my favourite comfort dish! Sidenote, just so happens I made it for dinner last night and I kinda nailed it *finally.* Sure makes a mess of the kitchen, though...

After watching this i feel hungry, Im writing down all these places for my next trip to Japan, Thank uu!!!

Good to know that there are indeed non-pork-broth options for ramen, I've been wondering about that for a while

@seerasan

2 ай бұрын

Yes! Other broth options include shio, soy milk, shoyu & miso. But there may still be some kind of pork extract in some of them (depends on the restaurant). Otherwise, vegan ramen options in Japan are super tasty too!

Ginza Kagari Honten make sensational thick 'cream of chicken soup' style ramen. If you miss out going there, don't worry as they have a concession restaurant in Narita airport. Fantastic ramen if you don't like Shoyu, Shio, Miso or Tonkatsu style much. Also, you may like to do a search for Halal ramen; one of the most highly rated ramen joints last year was a Halal ramen restaurant, so you'll be just fine. 😋🍜

Loved Mos Burger when I was in Japan. Reminded me of "Supermacs" in Ireland

The Aburasoba looks soooo good. More noodle places, please.

The doria at Saizeriya is sooo good! 😊

I remember watching a ジョブチューン show once ages ago (when I could still find them on YT), Saizeriya makes their money basically through lowering their labor costs. Operations are remotely managed and there’s very minimal staff. Cooking requires the workers to put everything on a conveyor belt (like the fast food pizza ones). And every recipe is calibrated to come out at the same time.

Every menu in Komeda is so big! Lol, But I love it because it's so yummy🥰

OMG. This is so awesome. I want to eat at all of them NOW! Thank you!

The thing I miss most about Japan is the Mastuya and curry rice. Ichiran sounds great, its nice not having to speak to people haha

I really enjoyed your "tour" :) Thanks!

Saizeria's green bean salad is very delicious! Definitely worth trying. The pasta dishes are designed to be easy for Japanese people to eat, so they may not suit Europeans.

The only chain restaurant I would visited in Japan is MOS Burger. Their Cheeseburger with beef (No Teriyaki) was the best. Orders are made to order, that means no infrared light keeping pre cooked food warm. This does mean that your meal will be very hot and needs a minute to cool off before you eat it.

I’m going to Japan just to eat! Love your videos!

This was so awesome! I’m definitely going to try the rice burger when I visit!

We had the pudding and tiramisu combo at Saizeriya and that was really tasty! You should have had either of those instead. Sorry about your gelato experience there 😬

From Scotland here...(but English)..Have been to MOS Burger....visited Japan twice last year..amazing country.

i just moved to tokyo near nishihara/ yoyogi-uehara and theres a komeda coffee i've been too the last few days for breakfast and to get some work done. i loved it there

When I went to Ichiran in Kyoto, there was no line at all! They even gave me an extra bowl for free because i wanted more noodles but it took too long and my bowl got cold, so they just gave me a whole new bowl for free.

Mos is a go-to of mine for lunch here in Sapporo, I probably go once a week on average. It's on the way home from the subway after morning language school, and convenience is kinda what fast food is all about, right? I love the basic pork cutlet sando set w/ "onion potato" and a melon soda (don't judge me!). Even with the soda upgraded to a large, it's only 1000JPY. Everything always tastes fresh.

I want all this! But that Rice Burger from MosBurger sounds really good

この一滴, this last drop of soup is the most precious thing. A little piece of happiness for those who finished the whole bowl.

This morning will be gooddddd

There was an Abroad In Japan episode where he went to Seizeriya and made it look so unappealing. I love your enthusiasm for it! it reminds me of a cheap diner in the U.S. called Denny's. Is it the best? No. Is it good? Also No. But is it there and open when you need it? Sometimes. Also that green drink looks pretty good! maybe you could've put the ice cream in it and made a weird cream soda.

Chicken chippies for the win! 🇦🇺 Wife and I head to Tokyo in two weeks for 10 days. If you’re in town, we’d love to say G’day.

I was born in São Paulo Brazil. I was adopted and moved to the United States. Before being adopted I was given four countries that I could have chosen. Germany , Spain , Japan and the United States. had the United States not been a choice , I would have without a doubt chosen Japan. São Paulo Brazil have the largest Japanese population outside of Japan. So I have always had a love for Japanese culture , food and the people. Great video and thanks for sharing.

Royal Host for me!

for anyone in america there's 2 ichirans in nyc, they also have vegetarian and vegan options. Word of caution, the spice level goes up to 10, but that isn't a sliding scale of 1 being mild, 5 medium and 10 spicy. They recommend level 2 which i would say is a mild spice and just going up to 3 is enough to get your nose running. The numbers represent how many SCOOPS of chili you get, not the spice level. Sadly lots of bad reviews from people ordering ichiran as takeout who don't understand their spice level. I recommend +1 rich broth, 1 clove garlic, extra green onions, and level 3 spice, best bowl of ramen in my life!

Happy Saturday Sarah. Free toast or eggs ❤. Love onions Vfm❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮 That's incredible prices

I love abura soba. I'd describe it as ramen without the soup. The spicy miso was surprisingly spicy for me.

Your videos keep getting better and better. Best wishes from serbia/Europe.

I have had a rice burger in the inner west of Sydney, the rice was so crispy on the outside. It was delicious 😊

I think that most Saizeriya locations are moving to tablet ordering. Just came back from a recent trip to Tokyo and the last Saizeriya that we ate at was the one in Kichijoji, next to the Donki. It was nice to see that they're making the change to digital and going away from the paper ordering system. The digital system also came updated with an English menu, which is great for those that haven't quite yet mastered katakana.

In the states we don’t have oolong tea but most fast food chains do offer unsweetened iced black tea, surprising I know 😂

I've been to MOS Burger and Saizeriya, but not the other chains. I'll have to try the when I get a chance. One thing I appreciated about MOS burger was that they give you ceramic plates and stainless utensils when you dine in and disposable for take out. There was a Saizeriya near my language school where I taught, so I often went there on my lunch break. There was also a Chinese chain called Bamiyan that I often went to. I remember the first time I went there thinking it was nothing like the Chinese food I got back in the U.S., which then led to me realizing that American Chinese food might not be authentic to China either. I think a lot of times, appreciating restaurants like these is managing of expectations. Good on you for being so open-minded about it, Sarah! I hope you'll review Doutor in one of your posts. I was quite fond of their chocolate croissants. I'm thinking maybe you should do one video focused just on family restaurants. That's a whole genre in and of itself! Denny's (We have in the U.S.), Friendly, Gusto, Royal Host... I think Jonathan's is a chain in the Tokyo area? I haven't seen any in the Kansai region, but I could be mistaken.

MOS BURGER is the BEST! We had this for the first time after climbing Mt Fuji and will always remember how lovely the salad in the burger was and how fresh it was, incredible. Wish they had it Sydney 🥲❤

Thanks for Japanese Chain Restaurants info! I wonder, if there are those University eating places where you can also go to eat?

I recognized, have tried and enjoyed several of these chain restaurants, and was happy you were enthusiastic about them, too! I honestly miss them and really wish some of them would open here near me. Like MOS Burger and Komeda. I kinda wish i had bought a mug the last time I was in Taiwan (They have a lot of the same chains there, too.) Saizeriya, I fear might flounder here in Cali, because there are already plenty of Italian chains.

The Abura Soba looks amazing. Noodles without broth is a nice change of pace from ramen

Bros been on fire with the videos recently.

I love sweet aduki bean paste. I haven’t had it for ages - I got into the habit of making it at home, which is a little OTT (since it comes in a can at the supermarket). Also, I was eating so much of it - could not not get enough.

My friend told me it's MOS burger cause Mos Def started it.

I miss the fall version of the Doria with sweet potato etc. so good! And we always got the cheap red house wine.

it's funny because black squid pasta is an italian traditional dish lol

soba is noodles made from buckwheat flour

I tried the katsusando at Komeda's and it was really good. Ichiran Ramen was just average ramen for me, but it might have been because of my choice that day.
