Mysterious substance @ 2:44 looks to be hummus, with a bit of olive oil. Other mysterious substance @ 3:00 looks to be some kind of salad with quinoa and corn and....seaweed, maybe?

I agree. Houmous may have sundried tomatoes or tumeric added.

I think this train is too high tech for me. I only have a minor in Japanese, and I can't understand the announcements. I wouldn't know how to book a restaurant reservation on this train. How would none Japanese speakers access the trains facilities. On a "normal" train, youd just walk to the buffet car when you want, and buy what you want. Why make life so totalitarian and confusing?

I think it was hummus too. For your edification, STJ, hummus is made with chickpeas, olive oil, and tahini. So you were sort of correct in your guess that it might be beans. As for the corn mixture, I vote with those who are guessing quinoa. The smoked salmon looked very tasty. You had an excellent breakfast, especially for the price!

The salad looks to have quinoa, corn, chickpeas, seaweed, and some sort of black bean

13:06 The rare STJ voice makes an appearance, haha.

The side dish with corn looked like it might be quinoa. It's a small grain sort of like millet or a very round, small brown rice.

It would be good to have a train that circles the whole of Japan, and you can keep the cabin for the whole journey. The seats could become a bed. There would need to be a shower.

your compartment looked like a cozy private library. I love libraries! And the view of the Bay was gorgeous. But I don't know if I would pay $100 for an hour train ride. But, if I did, I'd DEF take a nice, long soak in an onsen before going back to Tokyo. Cheers for having way more willpower than I possess.

Well I also think $100 is a bit too much for an hour ride and it doesn't even have any perks worth the fare like complementary food. That aside I really like the coach

On your plate, I believe I can identify it. The tan colored paste is, hummus (chick pea), I believe. On the other side appears to have been a mixed 'salad' of corn, black beans and couscous. I enjoy your videos. Thank you.

Yippee! A new video!!❤️👍🏻

this is probably my american vs. japanese culture gap showing but all i could think when you got into your compartment was “ooo! there’s stuff in those cabinets! go open the cabinets and see what’s inside! what are those expensive bottles in there? is there something inside? go look!” …that’s always my intrusive compulsion in “fancy” situations…to touch the “do not touch” things… maybe it’s more like my repressed inner child showing…🤔😅

egg benedict ...a cultured move, well done!. The cabin looks really nice ...sadly the ride was too short.

This was relaxing to watch. Thank you.

Lovely breakfast! Lovely desserts! I love the 'jingles'!

Great video, wish that I could travel with you when I visit Japan. Thanks for all of your videos.

Fancy eggs Benedict with Asparagus, but that was the most pale Hollindase sauce I have ever seen on top of it. Usually it is the color of egg yolks because it is made from them. Very strange side dishes to go with eggs bene. Quinoa salad ,hummus and salmon? When in Japan I guess.😘

Thanks for all of your videos. My favorite is . I watch it every time I can your day😮trip to mount Fuji

I had the chance to take this when I happened to be on business travel in Japan before the COVID restrictions were lifted. Amazing experience

Noooo. The egg was seriously overcooked on the Benedict. So sad. 😢

Thanks!

Nice train! Slick😉☺️

Thanks for translate attendant voice👍 helpfully

That looked like quinoa with vegetables on the left and baba ganoush on the right. That compartment looked very cozy

I totally agree with your result at the end. My first thought in the beginning was that the compartment was too much for this short trip for one person. But good for having a meeting on a business trip.

Okay, fine, I'll go back to Japan and try more trains :) Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for letting us help with the thumbnail photo 😆

Great trip, finally you booked this compartment. This room have great privacy suitable for group passengers. But to be fair if i doing solo trip, I prefer the front seat behind Driver cab.

Expensive coffee, the pudding looks tasty

The compartment was cool.

wow! you needed a bar tender and Martinis! Maybe a partner/friend.... thank you SoloSan, as ever, a great video!

The souflé pudding from Family Mart! I tried it when I was in Japan in November! It's really good isn't it? I also really liked the pumpkin pudding they had. While there we visited Bessho-Onsen, taking the electric local train from Ueda station. It was a nice little hot spring village. They have a super old hexagonal pagoda there. We also went to a The City Bakery (in Shinagawa) for breakfast but only took baked goods. The cheese danish was great. I'm guessing the salad with corn and wakame on your plate was quinoa.

Thanks

My friend, I would be delighted to travel with you at some point in the future.

I think the food you don’t recognise is some kind of quinoa salad. Nice video. I especially liked seeing the fish painted on the side of the red train on your arrival at Atami.

I was kinda hoping it was your cup of coffee playing that tune at 13:14

Another beautiful and calming journey! Thanks for the video. What train(s) would you recommend for a daytrip to Izu Shaboten Zoo from Tokyo to Izu? I'd like the travel that route someday and visit the Izu capybaras 😄🤞

Nice train

I love the city bakery. It’s expensive, but their pastries are good. I have been to the one in Hakuba at the mountain top in winter and it was so nice.

Very nice. Thank you. (Thumbnail images are quite important...)

Train needs more announcements. 34 announcements not enough.

what you think is potato or beans, it seems to be hummus: smashed chickpea with lime, olive oil and tahini. The other stuff looks like quinoa.

The sounds of Tokyo station is like music to my ears

For breakfast, looks like hummus and quinoa with corn.

Kopi hitam & makanan di pagi hari yang sangat nikmat & lezat , Banyak makanan lain yang bisa dinikmati di Kereta yang mewah ❤

"Stylish" but not "!!". Man, even I could be comfortable in there.

Not entirely sure, but the pile to the right of the eggs benedict looked like it could be either hummus with paprika on top, or possibly very fine ground grits. Grits is a more 'traditional' western breakfast option, but that didn't look like grits at all. The pile to the left looked vaguely like undercooked oatmeal...?

Definitely quinoa and hummus, which is a strange enough combination by itself, live alone the eggs benedict, but that's Japan I suppose! Also, grits aren't a thing outside of the US... no one eats them but you guys 😅

2:10 voice reveal! nice voice! 😻😻😻😻😻😻

Blue is my favorite color

Pushing the SOS button will stop the announcements😂😂😂

Thank you for the vlog, very interesting. I agree with others that that may have been hummus and the grains quinoa on your breakfast. The desserts looked delicious. Tokyo Station is an absolutely beautiful building, are there apartments in the upper floors ? May I also possibly ask if you are Japanese, or another nationality, just curious ?

Much fancy much wow

😮 I have had this dish many times but with a runny egg and no idea of what the 2 sides were 😳 But would have tried them 😋

I think it was Hummus on the right of the Eggs Benedict. And a Quinoa and Lentil salad on the left.

Wow! It just needs an ashtray and karaoke machine!!!

Nice little experience!! But no curry!!!!

The egg looked a little over cooked to me. I would like a runny egg for that. Looked like quinoa and corn on the left.

"Mille *crape* roll cake" ? Come on, STJ-san, it couldn't have been that bad... 😁 @8:47: we call that in english "feeling self-conscious" 👀 [>

if theres 4 pple it works out to 18.75 USD extra per pax~

Accompanying the Eggs Benedict I think was hummus with paprika sprinkled on it. Hummus is made with chick-peas and garlic. And the other thing was quinoa, as a salad. It's defo not couscous, which is semolina, and therefore doesn't sprout.

I think the breakfast is quinoa with shredded nori and sweetcorn. Maybe some homous????

17:17 That's a cute angle.

I think it was humus with paprika (right) and quinoa salad (left)

Sad that your eggs Benedict have no runny egg! I don't think it was made properly. still wondering what those two mystery items were on your plate, what kind of weird maybe potato and I don't know what the other black and beige rice thing kind a look like? ...Let's see what happens next!

I think the bit to the left of the eggs Benedict was quinoa, beans and corn. Not sure, though. But the grain did look like quinoa.

You ordered a benedicts royale- comes with salmon. Quinoa and hummus

Nice but very expensive

The stuff next to eggs Benedict looks like hummus.

Corn and sprouting quinoa on the left and hummus on the right

I believe the food to the left of the eggs was probably quinoa. And the stuff to the right was probably hummus. Source: I live in LA and those foods at everywhere here.

I think 3:42 is either couscous or quinoa? Given the other thing is almost certainly hummus I feel like it's the former.

You didn't take onsen while you were there? Bummer!

Breakfast was merely 'Good'. and not '!!'. Kinda says it right there. :-)

Looked like Hummus there on the right

When you first went into your compartment and I saw how nice it was, I thought, Wow this is going to be a short ride for you. Just when you start to really enjoy it you will have to get off.

So many different compartments on Japanese 🗾 trains and it does make you wonder if the design and building costs far outweigh whatever revenue such things will attract?

So many announcements 😵‍💫 How do you relax?

Looks like you had a quinoa salad on the left side of your breakfast plate, and hummus on the right.

Hilarious that you can only use your mobile phone in one carriage, yet you are forced to endure the constant announcements. Hardly a peaceful train ride!

Japan, the land of intrusive jingles

Hummus and quinoa.

20:24 You don’t have a small travel at Atami? I feel it’s a little bit zannen 😢

I guess you only pay the compartment charge once? So with a group of four, then it is divided between all of them?

i wish i had money i would go to japan and take every mode of transport solo has

Cabin is really good, but it desperately needs better soundproofing. Private cabin is useless if I can hear people next door

Looks like quinoa salad
