Funny how Mike goes "you don't dip the fully in the broth, that's a mistake I used to do" just to do it again minute later. 🤣

So nice to see Mike appreciating first-class traditional Japanese cuisine (in addition to Japanese McDonaldʻs). I remember when he didnʻt like raw seafood or vegetables, and I donʻt really care for all the huge quantities of meat and spicy sauces that most male foodie vloggers seem to go for, but Mike has gotten some education and experience and has refined his taste with Japanese cuisine, so itʻs a pleasure to watch him eat and comment on the dishes -- Iʻm lovinʻ it!

I remember when you didn't particularly like Sushi and rarely ate it, now what a difference. Plus it helps when you are eating the freshest fish!!

New drinking game. Take a shot everytime Mike says, "umami".

When i go to Japan and shell out big bucks for a 22-course meal, i really hope i have a youtuber sitting right next to me describing every bite. Must have been ahhhhmazing for those other people.

@@donald.R the crappy new menu items in fast food in the USA is mind boggling. It’s like they think Americans have terrible palettes and or taste. Or our cultural diversity in flavor will never sell. I see these same comments over and over that we want more so if it is our wants then it would sell. The special sauces don’t even hit.

I know it’s not the most interesting menu item but I loved the egg cheeseburger from McDonald’s. It’s just a simple cheeseburger with their round breakfast egg but I was addicted to it.

The burger and sushi looks so yummy ❤❤..x

I love noodles also. I would absolutely love to get to travel Asia and try all of the different noodles. Like buckwheat noodles. They all just look and sound divine tasting.

That Sauce of Theseus looks amazing

It's always interesting to see different menu items in McDonald's in different countries. When i visited Philippines once, i think they had fried chicken and rice, spaghetti, and there was a tuna pie i think. It was many years ago so i don't quite remember.

Wow for over 230 years, that's insane

Amazing Mikey ! Thank you for sharing an amazing Kaiseki meal !

Need the McDonald’s garlic sauce.

Kaiseki is such an elegant way of doing things, and someday I'd love to experience a meal like this. I can only dream of this right now, but someday!

well mike i love how he enjoys the food, the texture smell and taste.

Can that fish beat waygu? That was my first crazy food experience that didn't feel real it was sweat like Maine crabs but so rich and melted like butter in my mouth but was beef. so hard to believe its real. Also Turkish strechy ice cream is a must try in my opinion.

where was the turf in all that surf?

Omg your back?! Or atleast my youtube alerts are finally alerting me again to tour post! Hello! 😊

Eating fugu as if it's albacore, and just commenting on the nori. Man, I would be super respectful to the chefs.

Hey Mike I love your content try to get all that to the US I would love to try it it looks amazing and keep up the good work

I like knowing that there are families that have been doing the same thing for so long. You know it’s good.

Why does food look 10x better in Asia than the US?! Making wish I lived there, instead!

Wow 230 years, that is a long time.

Ofc in Japan even the burgers are samurai flavored

For real.

Drooling over all the sushi. However, I thought since the only polite way to eat nigiri in Japan was to do it all in one go that it would always be smaller pieces. Some of those pieces I'm not sure I would have gotten into my mouth in one bite. In the US, since we are uncouth I don't worry about doing my nigiri in two bites as it is nearly always very large. I just do it with my hands and hold onto the piece for the second bite rather than to set it down.

Went to Japan in Nov. 2023 and tried Mc Donald’s because so many KZreadrs were raving about how much better it was there. We ordered the Japan exclusive burgers and were greatly disappointed! Everything was so salty and the patties were so dry! The only thing that amazed me was the fries were stacked so neatly into the container. We were staying in Akihabara.
