6 Must Try Japanese Dishes in Tokyo | Tsukiji Street Food 

NOTIFICATION SQUAD: Who would win? Ryotaro with the knife or me with the world's hardest food? Let's settle this once and for all. We had a blast at Tsukiji market - I'd actually written it off when it moved to Toyosu back in 2018. What I didn't realise was that the outer market (which is the best bit) is still alive and well, and better than ever before. Toyosu is good for the tuna auctions, but not much else. The brand new buildings are shiny and clean, but they lack the atmosphere of Tsukiji's chaotic streets. If you're in Tokyo, make sure to drop by! As I mentioned in the video, we did have help behind the scenes from a guide (a guide who wasn't Ryotaro for once), as we wanted to really get down the alleyways and handle the knives used to prepare the tuna. If you want to pretty much do everything we did in this video, you can check out the highly regarded tour here: bit.ly/336bqXE (and yes it does come with plenty of food).

I feel like it's getting harder and harder for Ryotaro to hide his bloodlust for Chris and I can't wait for it to boil over.

“Only your second time? In a hundred years?” I choked

9:22 "In the UK we get some hot water, we stick a bag in it, job done." In the US we just throw it in the harbor.

Sake is amazing. Especially warm. Goes down so smooth. It’s comforting. Lovely. Then suddenly you’re face down in a bathroom.

Chris' Wikipedia page has had about 10 edits and undos in the 18 hours since this video went up, where people are adding and removing "Inventor of green tea sake" repeatedly.

“Awkward death threats over breakfast” thanks for giving me the new name of my auto biography.

I'm Japanese. When I want to study listening English,I found this channel recently. This channel is very interesting because I learn the way foreigners study Japanese. I will study English in reference to the way.

また外国人が溢れるような光景が見られる社会になるといいですね I’m Japanese so I’m not good at writing English. I hope we can see many foreigner who come to Japan

"Japan coolest man" - while the description on screen is "Reasonably Priced Japan Expert".. ahahahah !! :D

I'm sorry Chris, but in the thousand years that Ryotaro has been alive, I'm sure he's trained the blade long enough to beat you and your hard fish.

"Smell the wood" dies with laughter.

Awesome food shots. I’m hungry af now.

Of all of Ryotaro's title entrances, "Reasonably Priced Japan Expert" has been the best

Judging by the videos on this channel, Chris has exactly two friends.

I see you’ve been liking food recently

Legitimately believe Ryotaro is gonna stab Chris one of these days hahah... The suppressed rage builds with each roast.

It's funny that Chris should mention Blade Runner, because the events in the movie take place on this EXACT date.

Chris: Always wears black, has a goatee (kinda), has been compared to villains in the past (ex: Dr. Octopus) Ryotaro: Sounds British, loves luxury, always tries to kill Chris Ryotaro is James Bond and Chris is a Bond villain!

“Smell the wood” “It melts in your mouth” Ryotaro-2019

this brings a tear to my eye. the first and, so far, only time i went to japan was a mere one week split between tokyo and kyoto. however, during my time in tokyo i stayed in a hotel just a walking distance from tsukiji market. we went there a lot and enjoyed numerous sushi places around the area, who offered the freshest, most justice good fish i ever had. we already knew it was getting torn down, after all we visited in 2018, just MONTHS before it had. brings back some of the best memories in my life. now, 4 years later i'm intensively learning the japanese language, as next summer my father has a japan trip for us in store! couldnt be more thankful for having been to tsukiji

The comments section in Chris’ videos are almost as entertaining as the videos themselves

Ryotaro with a tuna sword versus Natsuki in "Kill Bill" mode, HEAVEN OR HELL LET'S ROCK

Love the videos with Ryotaro in it. The energy he brings, the banter between the two of you, is just great

It would be so cool to hang out with Chris and Ryotaro

I’m half way through this video and just had to stop and say thank you Chris. It’s 4 degrees and raining here in London, I’ve had a shitty day but I’ve found myself smiling and laughing throughout this video. You’ve made my day, keep up the great work!

When Chris finally proposes to Ryotoro he’ll have the gem made out of that fish. It’s apparently harder than diamonds.

Ryotaro is unironically one of my favorite parts of this channel

When is Ryotaro the movie coming?

i regret watching this on an empty stomach.

日本人として、こういうふうに紹介してもらえるのは、とても嬉しいです！😁😊 これからもがんばってください！

"It's like Blade Runner with Food." As someone who also lists Blade Runner as his favorite film, I love that description!

World's hardest food? They clearly haven't tried my first attempt at home baked biscuits!

I think there's a ghost behind the window at 13:25.

Watching this a year later it’s just so surreal to see him handling all this food, with samples and demonstrations. We’ve come such a long way can’t wait till we can get back to normal and enjoy food and markets up close and personal like this again.

I always enjoy these mini documentaries! They’re so incredibly intriguing and interesting, I always want to watch more and more. Thanks Chris and friends!

At what point in the video is it acceptable to begin writing a meaningful comment?

You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.

I love how you arranged the opening music with the sound effect and how well you explain things! Excellent video!😆

As a foodie, Tsukiji Market is my number one essential day out when I eventually go to Tokyo. I say day out because I will literally eat about 7 meals and make a day of it.

Can we please get a soundclip of Ryotaro laughing manically on the podcast? 😂

Ryotaro is the best, I'd want a friend like him.

Man thanks for sharing these videos with us. It’s a ton of fun to see your experiences and get a look at life in Japan, as well as all the mouthwatering food😍 I find your vids helpful in the event I’m able to make it to Japan one day, and honestly I love seeing your friendships with Ryotoro and your other buddies. Cheers man🤙🏼

I love the wood cups that sake stop used. And never have I wanted to be a sashimi prepper more than when I saw the knives they used

Legend says if you're here early, Chris hearts your Comment..

I love watching your program not only for the content but the two of you together has a great chemistry. I love your sense of humor and sincerity 👍👍👍

Currently living in Tokyo, I really appreciate your videos for giving me good ideas for places to check out while I'm here (and a great sense of humor).

"its the same as wine, but it doesn't have the same sort of strong flavour as wine, so it's quite a deceptive drink. You can have quite a few cups, and then it suddenly hits you like a truck" - I wish someone warned me about this earlier. I hate the taste of alcohol, and had never drunk before, but when we went to a Japanese bar for a work thing, and they served sake. I got plastered. 🤣😭

"In 2019, he invented Tea-Sake[14]" Yup, the wiki is updated lmao

Chris you always do such a great job with your videos. They’re entertaining and informative

Laughed most of the way through this video. The two of you compliment each other so well. Looks like loads of fun

Chris couldn't resist putting in that sound effect at 6:06 😄

cheers chris appreciate the quality content

back to watching every abroad in Japan video. forgot how much fun these things are! great video!

I really like this channel because of my interest in Japan and i always learn something new...but boy o boy do i enjoy the hilarious chemistry between these two guys...like the combination of their cultures goes so well together :D and it creates amazing funny moments in every video...thank you guys for the videos and all the effort. making my day every time.

I’m noticing the times in Chris liking comments. Dude you’re up late lol. It was 1am for you, reading through the comments haha.

There's actually a video of someone sharpening a piece of that dried fish into a knife and i believe he even compares it to various other knives hes made out of bizarre items. it looked like it worked out pretty well too.

Your videos are amazing. I've lived in Japan for a little over a year and I have learned so much watching your videos. Thank you for your content!

you two have amazing chemistry, seems like great buds

Me: "Why didn't Chris call him Rissotoro?" 2:51 ; "Oh I see now"

I was legitimately excited to see that someone already added "In 2019, he invented Tea-Sake" to his Wikipedia page. people on the internet sure do work quick.

This is super helpful and entertaining (the best way to receive information)!! My hubs and I will be coming in January and had no idea what to expect at Tsukiji without the inner market. We are also bingeing the podcast in preparation, thanks for making my coworkers think I'm a weirdo as I laugh audibly while listening to you and Pete. Can't stop, won't stop

The quality your videos have just makes me feel like i'm there with you Thanks for the content i am grateful

"and then it hits you like a truck" You know, I've only had sake once before. Maybe a third of a bottle. I was entirely sober after drinking that, but when I was on the train home like 30 minutes later, I really felt it. I wasn't drunk by any stretch of the imagination, of course, but before that I didn't notice any effect at all.

"Reasonably priced"? I'd say Risottoro's priceless!

I know I’m very late to this party but I hate to break it to you Chris : the Sake/green tea combo was sprung on me by a barmaid in Ogaki City in 2007! Great video! I’m vicariously reliving bits of all my Japan trips through you!

This is a must for any foodie going to Tokyo. One of the highlights of my trip. I've never had the luxury of trying whole grilled squid, oysters and scallops before and it was amazing, cheap enough too. Plenty of deserts as well, I got an ice cream and went back for seconds because I went in the summer, it's fantastic! Definitely worth going as its only up the road from the kabuki theatre in Ginza.

Ryotaro picked up that knife and found his life’s purpose.

I really feel like this show would translate really well to a series on the Travel Channel.

We recently came back from Japan and man this looks so mouth watering. Makes me wanna go back now

I did the tour about one week before you guys were there and it was so busy we could barely stop and look at anything. That said it was still amazing, great food and the specialist snack food shop almost opposite the tea shop you stopped at is also worth checking out. Really enjoying your work and can't wait to be back in Japan after this crazy time is over.

2 things to do: X Get worlds hardest fish and take it to the fish cutting samurai chef X Get some well aged green 🍵 tea and take to the sake place to mix drinks

blade runner was set in november 2019 soo youre not wrong!

MORE VIDEOS LIKE THESE PLEASE. Straightforward travel videos (with or without food)

This video is proabbly my favourite kind of video, it doesn’t feel disconnected, I felt really connected due to it only being you and Ryotaro filming eachother. It’s funny, professional but keeps the connection and old style. Keep it up!!!

Bruh, I needed this today Chris, I woke up with some very bad news right when I woke up. So thank you dude, you inspire me to want to live in Japan someday...

"Blade runner with food" -Ryotoro 2019

Thanks for putting me on to Japanese city pop dude

Thank you so much for your videos, it really prepped me for my trip to Japan. And watching your videos makes me feel like I haven’t left.

RISOTTO BACK AGAIN! FEELS LIKE HEAVEN I SWEAR

"Chris Broad is the self-proclaimed inventor of Green Tea Sake[14]. " - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abroad_in_Japan#cite_note-14

I miss Japan so much watching this VDO. Been to Tsukiji market once, definitely going again whenever the pandemic is over.

こうゆう系の動画って何故か見たくなるんだよねぇ

I just looked Chris up on Wikipedia and it has "In 2019, he invented Tea-Sake"

I'm a simple man: i see Ryotoro, I drop everything and watch immediately.

Thank you. Great video. I loved the tour

these videos are so enjoyable... You guys are so likeable and the food looks so delicious. I hope I can experience japan at least once in my life.

10:00 Guy in the background on the right is looking at Chris like, 'The hell is this guy talking about green tea sake...?'

You both are amazing. Thank you for the most interesting view.

The quality of your videos is incredible, really seems I'm watching those travel tv shows, congratulations for this amazing work ! I just can't stop watching it 🔁 ❤️

These videos are so brilliant, really helps break up the uni work - cheers Chris

11:28 I love how the portuguese translation is kinda wrong, he says "slightly fishy flavour" and the translation is saying in portuguese "slightly suspicious flavor" LMAO I don't think that's the "fishy" he's refering to.

The Blade Runner nudge was deliberate right? Since we’re living in November 2019.

I just bought tickets to Japan for me and my fam for March/April. The first time I tried was 2011. So in preparation I think I have probably watched all your videos. I'm super excited and have a thousand things to check off my list now. I just wanted to thanks so much man. You're doing a bang up job.

It's always going to be fun seeing these two guys together 😂😂

When Ryotaro said “ “ I felt it.

Oh man, stayed at a hotel in Tsukiji about a year ago, and did the Japan Wonder Travel tour of the new and old markets. That was a rad couple hours, and we even ended up at the same sushi shop. Was surprised to see whale on the menu. Our guide was super nice and very informative. I'm just some internet rando, but I'd recommend the linked tour as well!

I love watching trails to tsukiji on NHK! Great episode my dude!

Such an enjoyable duo to watch!
