Nah, thats pretty rude. Gusto and all the people at MREInfo all have their own personalities that make them unique and interesting to watch.
that seaweed called konbu 昆布 こんぶ in japan and that is not ginger its bamboo shoot called takenoko 筍 たけのこ in japan I’m afraid my expressions may be rude or hard to read, because I’m not so good at English. But please, please be patient! I will try hard to learn English!

Being a 3rd generation Japanese, these foods are familiar. The vegetable with the trout looks like bamboo shoots not ginger. The yellow pickle is from a Japanese radish called "daikon" pickled vegetables are a common side dish. It's often eaten as a kids dish with rice and spam, or wieners. (I still eat it)Japanese rice is sticky because it's easier to eat with hashi (chopsticks)
The "yellow pickle" is normally called "takuwan" if I'm even spelling it right...stuffs good
I just want to say thank you for releasing this video Gusto. You're one of the hidden gems among MRE reviewers and you deserve tons more views. You were clear, concise, and accurate with your review and taste testing. Looking forward to more.

Just good info, great dialog and you actually eat everything unlike another reviewer out there who just complains and talks about how he is afraid that something is going to be "weird." lol Keep up the great work and again, great review!

It might be a date code using the era date of the current Japanese emperor. In this case it would be the 18th year of the heisei period or 2006 and the next group of numbers would be month and day, February 3rd and the last would be some sort of lot code.

Thank you for introducing the food of the Japanese Self Defense Force. The food introduced in the movie is the initial 1 type and now it has 3 types. Type 2 is pack as well as country, type 3 is stick type. If you have the opportunity to get it, please try it.
Let me get these out on a tray... *Steve comes in* NICE.... OKAY!!!
Good review, bro. Keep it up!
WOW !!! Never saw this, or, heard of this before. Awesome. Can opener is definitely different, agreed, but I like it. Turbo mode, LOL. The rice and chicken was A very large portion, wow. All items looked good. If you ever come across another ration of this type, save me the can opener, I will trade for it, LOL. Peace, John.

Why would anyone be surprised about the Japanese military having high quality goods? Japans military is straight up high end. Navy, Air Force and Army are top notch and could be world players if they truly wanted to do so.
yep the green stuff is indeed a type of seaweed, or specifically konbu, very popular for making soup

Yeah, don't spill any of it on your jeans though...
According to wikipedia pages of "戦闘糧食I型" and "レーション", this is very old type but not of WWII era. These have been gradually replaced by type2 from 1990's, and after being stocked as "emergency food", it seems it's no longer consumed in JSDF. At least JGSDF stopped buying this type in 2016. Note this review is of 2017. I don't know but I can guess the factory or the Army them selves might sold some of them at that time.
that green stuff most likely was seaweed. the radish actually looks pretty good, sweet review!
hey RC Gusto, the green thing probably is called "kombumaki". Kobumaki is a Japanese kelp roll. the browny thing(not ginger) is called "takenoko", means bamboo shoots. the number in the top of can could be the year and month of prossessing process, but it can use the emperors year... hope have helped a little, keep the great work!

Nice a japanese ration awesome review. Sorry I don't know anything about these rations all I know is what I learn from you guys.
where can I get a can opener with turbo mode ll? . You should give mail those p38 out as prizes. And to activate TM2 you just open the can, record yourself doing it. Then replay the video 3x fast. boom turbo mode.
Another great review. Looking good. Did you like this one better less than or equal to the Japanese ones that had the rice in individual pouches??? Awesome and I enjoy your reviews. 👍they bring me a 😄 Might be daikon radish??? Anyone know????
Your tray is alot shinier than Steves... "nice"
The dark colored vegetable you referred in the trout and vegetables can is called Kobu-maki meaning rolled kelp
Loved this video
it means issued 20th day 3 month 2013
That green thing with fish and vege call "konbu" which called kelp or Sean tang in English Konbu is used to get some soup for subtle flavor to that meal
The vegetables are called nishime. The green stuff is seaweed and the brown thing is probably bamboo shoots. The pickled radish is known as daikon.

A G thank you! More to come soon!
Great video and everything looked very tasty. Beware what you read on the internet though, I can't think of anything pre-cooked that needs reheating for 25 minutes! Lol.
The Yellow pickled veggie is a Daikon Radish its a normal condiment in a lot of Japanese dishes, Like a palette cleanser of sorts.
Very interesting ration ! Looks like normal food. The fish seems to be a good quality. The sausages are packed in a way I haven't seen before. I'd be happy to get such rations fo r tasting...
The green rolled up stuff in the can of fish with vegetables is seaweed or kelp.
Being local Japanese from Hawaii, I love takuan. Makes your breath stink but it tastes delicious
curious, sausage water or broth could have been used on the rice for added flavor perhaps?
I never use the can openers to open cans. I usually get a kitchen knife and a hard board object like a cutboard to make force. I guess that's also how soldiers open their cans of food, using their army knife and a rock
that green rolled veggie is kombu kelp. a thicker large leaf seaweed.
Thanks for the interesting video. I think the rice and chicken could have used a packet of that Japanese seasoning we have seen in other videos. I have never seen anyone review a Japanese video with any input from an actual JSDF soldier to explain what exactly was issued with them meal. There obviously never are any snacks or accessory packs or drinks like tea or fruit drinks issued in the meals so I assume they are given separately. Oh and one last thing. I hate to see a skull just grinning up at me with a better set of teeth than I have. Liked and subbed.
The green stuff is kombu (kelp), And the ginger thing is actually bamboo.
did the bandage come in with the mre?
This McQueen bandage makes you believe in yourself OVER FREAKIN 9000 TIMES AGAIN!
Im craveing the trout and vegetables for some reason lol...i have to settle for sardines and tomatoe slices tho ...great video!
When was this mre made?
Looks pretty good!

Is this all day or one meal
the vegetables in that Trout can are probably, Burdock root or daikon radish, Carrot, shiitake mushroom and either cabbage or sea weed.
wasn't expecting the portions to be that big.
Alright let’s get this out on to a tray
Pickles might not be liked, I bought US MRe, too.
That's a huge individual. What is the calorie count?
I always liked the British " Fred" can opener to the American one .
Down the hatch,great review. Save for the pickled radishes this looks downright tasty👍👍👍
in Asia it is year/month/day. so it'll be march 2009. just taking an educated guess
nice hiss from the big can.
Date code looks to be the same as tire date codes. First 2 digits are the week of the year and last 2 digits is the year. 2603 would be the 26th week in 2003 or mid June 2003.
I'd love to get one or two of those can openers, I can't find a solid one anywhere, the folding ones are good, bit I broke a few
The pickled radishes are called daikon the funky vegetable thing might be some kind of nori or konbu
Hey RCGusto, This ration looks pretty recent, you sure you didn't get your date codes mixed up? Considering how date codes go on MRE's, I interpreted the "0903" as September 2013 being the production date, and this food looks a lot fresher and more recent as oppose to a ration from 2003. Plus you said these are currently still produced, so I'm pretty sure you have a more recent MRE than an older one. Again I'm not 100%, but I'm 99.9% sure. So if I'm wrong someone please correct me. But if I've learned anything from the international MRE date codes they can be misleading if you don't know the codes of each country or region they go by.

Marth that's entirely possible. I was doing this review under the initial assumption that these were no longer produced in cans. There was also a bit of rust on the can opener and some mild corrosion on the can rims, which made me think they were more likely 2003ish. Thanks for watching!
Trout, kelp, bamboo shoots, carrots. The yellow lump is a Japanese radish pickle. Numeric notation is an item number control of goods.

that green thing is a kelp. Thanx for the video!
If the skull logo have a m1 helmet it really beautyful
Those are Bamboo shoots and konbu (sea kelp)
Fabulous ration review, think I'll be doing some Japanese food real soon! The P38 can't be beat, it came in real handy for us in Vietnam! What was really popular for us was the cans of soup we would get at the BX that had little heaters underneath that could be opened and lit! Just enough heat to warm the can really good!
