Yamanashi Prefecture, where Mt Fuji stands tall, is home of a local soup that is sure to delight, but some of the flavors are very unique and surprising.

家族、従兄弟と仲睦ましく本当にいいチーム
毎回楽しい家族だね✨
Love this family 🤗❤ Happy to see you guys hanging out together!^_^
Houtou is a traditional noodle dish of Yamanashi Prefecture. Pork is the standard, and other than that, it's each person's favorite. Even in Japan, there are different likes and dislikes. Come to think of it, there were deer when you last visited Lake Yamanaka!
熊肉と馬肉を食べた反応が面白かったです😊👍
Your family time was so heartwarming!
ママさんのオープニングいいですね👍 私は食べず嫌いなので熊肉は遠慮しておきます。 カボチャのほうとうが食べたいなぁ~😋 今日もメチャ楽しかったです😄 ありがとうございました🖐🖐🖐
I love how everyone switches languages with no problem.
I’m definitely not as brave as you guys are! 🦋 Such a fun family. Enjoy your weekend!
Hi dears! Here in italy, when i was child my granny give me meat horse (because is rich in iron and digestible), also a little meatballs made with cow brain (i was born in '60 and no mad cow at all), and a lot of meat rabbit (and i prepare some meal for my family even now), just because is digestible and lower in fat. I know that is strange for foregners...

I am from austria and i do know rabbit and horse too! :D even though i was born 1998. Sadly cowbrain is not available anymore... I'd love to try it because u really love trying out new food! :)
I've taken my daughter every year to a game dinner at the hunting club: bear, venison, moose, duck, goose, elk... pretty much every game animal. Bear's definitely "out there" but it's amazing what skillful cooks can do with these various meats.
イジーちゃんかわいいな。何の躊躇もなくパクパク食べてる。
What a unique restaurant. The glowstick light show by the kids was so cute!
Thank you for sharing your life and family with us! The summary was great as we didn't even realize how much we've been able to follow you this whole year! Our kids still love watching and seeing how your kids are growing up! God bless!
I went to Houtou about 4 years ago with friends but we didn’t try bear or horse. I’ve eaten horse sashimi here in Japan and bear in the US. I agree with your description of bear-tastes like beef but chewy and gamey.
ものすごくリフレッシュできる、素晴らしい景色ですね! What a refreshing view around the lake ‼︎. Thanks for sharing ❤
A bike adventure around the lake is a lovely way to spend your time.
You guys are awesome trying everything in Japan which I have ever tried while I were in Japan. Because you have mentioned about taking off shoes in Japan. The reason why we do that traditionally b/c we are the part of Ten Tribes of Israel. I was taught by my father in Japan that the house is very sacred place and we must maintain clean and holy to feel the spirit of God. When you enter the holy house or temple in ancient time, they did take off their shoes and wear slippers so we maintain those traditions in Japan. We carried on the things ancient Israel did. You know that the first emperor came to Japan in BC 711. Written on “ Nihonki ‘ !
God bless your happy family! You are a, well, not exactly daily, dose of joy. Thank you for sharing this joy with all of us.
Another fun video! Your content is so addictive. It reminds me of when "Friends" was on TV and I couldn't wait for the next episode. There is so much joy and positivity in your videos. And shot with pro level equipment too! Keep up the great work. By the way, I'm asking Santa for a Sony A74 this year Lol. Aloha from Yokohama🤙

I remember when I was stationed in Florida, one of the guys made gator nuggets 😮. I was leery of alligator meat, but those gator nuggets were fantastic. Becca’s reaction to eating Winnie the Pooh 😅. Love it that she’s still rock’n the Star Wars sweatshirt!
This was filled with holiday spirit! ❤️💕 Loved it!
日本語字幕いつもありがとうございます☺
これ、馬肉ではなく、馬のもつ煮込みだw Oh, that was not stewed "horse meat" but stewed "horse innards". That is one of local cuisine in Yamanashi pref. Horse "meat" is very good. you shold try!

It's true - it was horse intestines, not meat as we assumed in the video.
I have never eaten bear meat nor houtou noodle before, though I have eaten brawn and often eat usual udon. They look delicious and unique to me. I wish there was such a restaurant in my hometown.
I grew up in a country where horse was common. No big deal for me. 😅
ほうとう美味しいですよね😊😋

Such fun!
A horse is a pet, and I never consider eating "baniku" unless there is no other option such as when a customer "treated me" to another whole platter because I smiled when he asked if I liked the "bazashi". Long Live Mr. Ed. On the other hand, a walrus is never a pet, so it's ok to eat Hokkaido Walrus Curry.
It looks delicious!
ほうとうや熊肉食べたの凄いですね 美味しいでしょう‼️
I just started learning Japanese, and stumbled upon your channel a couple weeks ago. Your videos are so wholesome! and you have a beautiful family. Thanks for showing us so much of Japan, keep up the great work!

In Kumamoto, there is a type of horse sashimi (raw horse meat dish) called "BASASHI". Please try it when you visit Kumamoto. It is delicious.
固定観念が少ない子供達には素直に日本の味が分かるようね👍
yay! I hope you enjoyed your time in Yamanashi :D It's getting colder here everyday. I also never tried bear houtou so I'll definitely find a nearby place to try it out😁
Beautiful place to ride a bike!

We have been to this place here too.
Love you guys. My Dad lived in Belgium for 3 years in the 70s and they ate horse there. Cheval is the French word. Tasted just like steak to me. Glad to see the girlfriend contributing more. Did you really go into hibernation after that? By the way I'm from Illinois too.
Between my husband and I, I am probably the more adventurous when it comes to food. I'd try and horse and bear meat, but I have a feeling I would prefer the bear over horse. I'm quite fond of venison though. We have some friends who made a venison chili a few years ago that was fantastic. And we got to try some venison summer sausage a few months ago that was amazing.

The bear, while it was a bit tough, was good. It had a very unique aftertaste which both Ruth and Debbie didn't like, but I didn't mind.
Horse is a good meat, I had once "fondue chinoise" with horse meat. The meat tastes in my opinion a bit sweet. I had myself long time a horse, and still don't have any problem eating the meat ...as long as I don't know the name the animal had.
私は妻の実家が山梨県なので、結構このお店行ってます。ほうとうは元々肉は無いみたいなのですが、私はこのお店の豚肉入りが大好きです。ほうとうは肉を入れた方がいいと思います。肉の旨味でめちゃくちゃ美味しいです。

熊肉!?🐻 I want to try.
Thats funny I'm japanese i have never eaten bear meat lol But currently i live in south dakota and i'm afraid to eat buffalo meat. I didn't know Japanese eat bear meat until i saw this video
熊も鹿も猪も食べたことないです。 スーパーで売ってる鴨は食べました。 美味しいスープになるのでおすすめです。
今週の動画も楽しかったです😂子供達のnightDance💃も最高に可愛い❤ 馬肉は熊本県ではお刺身(生!)で食べる文化もありますよー!長野県では鹿肉(ジビエ)もあります。これからも様々な日本の文化に触れるファミリーレポート楽しみにしていますね😋👍
約30年前に、当時の仲間とスキーをした帰りに、小作清里店に寄って、豚肉のほうとうとカエルの串焼き、ます酒を飲んだ事があります。 ます酒は、升の角に塩を盛って飲みます。 是非また行った際には、飲んで食べてください。

Next you have to try Fugu (poison blowfish) or Getomono (disgusting food) if you dare. Going the safe route go try Okonomiyaki. I first found out about Okonomiyaki from the anime Ranma one half.

When one of the girls said " hisashiburi to walk " i heard your response "it feels good isn't it" i was like, huh? she said she was sore so i thought "ooh he didn't understand what she said, BUT! then IT KINDA was a good response because it sure feels good to have a walk after a long time so... Dad must be hiding its japanese power level just for comedy purpose... 計画通りwwww
horse meat❌ horse intestine⭕️ 多分 アルゼンチン産かブラジルの冷凍馬腸を味噌で煮込んでんね 山梨県なら馬肉はほとんど刺身じゃないかなあ? カナダ産もあるよー
I'm afraid of that horse meat! I don't know about that! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
凄く楽しそうですね。
美味しいですね。猪=Wild boarのほうとうもオススメですよ。
もつ煮でみんなが興味津々なところがおもしろい。他の人も言っていますが吉田うどんもいいよ。あとデザートお土産は信玄餅できまりですね。
私も熊肉は食べた事無いです😁
馬は刺身 熊は臭みを取れば 冬場のほうとうは最高ですね
1:40 I think it's innards, not horse meat. I live in Nagano prefecture, In Nagano Prefecture, it is called "Otaguri". In Yamanashi Prefecture, it's called "Motsuni".

美味しそう〜❤ でも熊肉や馬肉は日本人でも食べた事ない人多いと思いますw
めちゃくちゃ高くてビビる笑
うまは、さしみがおいしいですよ! あぶらみがありますから! クマやシカやイノシシはBBQスタイルがいちばんたべやすい! でも、しっかりしたしょりがひつようです。
I think that is not horse meat. I think that intestine, which explain the liver-like texture. Horse meat is really similar to beef.

Interesting to see the way you guys spelled Houtou different. Ruth said it more like with a Brazilian accent, like we would say here and you said it more like the American English way. I like accents, I always pay attention to spelling and learning new vocabulary.
馬肉は生で食べるのが一番おいしいけど、これって海外の方からみたら、びっくりなのかしら・・笑
僕も食べたくなってきたわ....
最初のは、馬モツ 馬の内臓の味噌の込みですね。馬は、馬刺しも旨いですよ。
Sometimes the bear will eat you, and sometimes you eat the bear. Meaning, we will have bad days and we will have good days.
ほうとう知ってくれてありがとうございます、美味しいでしょう。
馬肉は好きだけど私が食べた熊肉は全て硬かったけど美味しかった。
全ての食に感謝し「いただきます」だな
I’m all for trying new things but the idea of eating a horse is a big NO for me. Funny though that as a child I loved eating rabbit. Now, I wouldn’t lol. Always love your vids.
馬肉なら馬刺しを食べていただきたいです
