A Bar for Train Obsessed Otaku in Japan 

Two Emma vids in two days! Always great chemistry with everyone.

Fun video as always! TGV might refer to "train grande vitesse" which is the French name for the high-speed train system.

They put out some really nice items to stay on the train theme. Those rice Shinkansen were a nice surprise. Easy to make, but still makes an impact at the table. It's nice to see Shizuka again too!

That thumbnail is amazing but your photo shout out to Queensland Rail was next level funny!

Props to this place for letting you film so much, especially in the restaurant. This is a place for tourists to enjoy, they seem very nice

If the restaurant had the tables arranged like train compartments, it would be even more fantastic. Thanks for bringing us along, Emma

I wonder how much it took to edit that Mario bit. So much commitment!

This Izekaya looks really cool. The only thing that they could have done differently is to find a train coach that's not in use anymore and transform it in to the Izekaya. Just an idea. 🙂

You and Shizuka have such a great chemistry! Very charming video as usual.

TGV is the abbreviation for High Speed Train in French 😂

Journey - Don't Stop Believin' is a good choice of this time. I like it as well. Travelling around japan by takaing several trains, I am always enjoying eating lunch box(bento), drinking a cup of coffee, and reading books to spend free times inside.

Living in german-french boarder area I am pretty sure TGV stands for "train a grande vitesse" which is the french shinkansen equivalent

I love the random video interjections and memes made me crack up .

I've been watching your channel for years and I still appreciate your videos whenever I see them in my sub box ☺

So interesting to see videos like this. Love it

Great to see you Emma, teamed up with Shizuka, and both of you letting your hair down, to coin a phrase. Way to go girls.

I loved the all little details in the bar. Especially liked the carriage seats table you were sat at. Great video Emma, looking forward to seeing the next adventure 😊

ooo a video with Shizuka! i have been looking forward to this one!

My great grandfather loved trains He rode on them during world War 2 and Korea. He even had a model train set. Loved running it with him. He passed away in 2018 when I was 12.

The algorithm keep’s recommending this channel after I watch Bad Friends, I’m Not disappointed this is a hidden gem

Japan has some really cool places to eat at. I'd like to go see some of them one day.

Wow, I haven’t seen one of those train kids dishes in a very long time. They had those at other restaurants, (like western style restaurants Dennys and Royal Host, not sure if Royal Host is still around) when I was a kid living in Tokyo.

This looked awesome, and you looked like you really enjoyed it which was fun to watch! Keep being excellent!

Thanks for taking us on a tour of trains! 😂 ❤ your videos

Great to see Shizuka again! RIP TCtalk :(

Love it when you do collab with Shizuka 😊, indeed, an interesting experience, and don't forget, Trains Go Vrooom 😂🤣

Nothing but good vibes from this video! Great to see Shizuka! You guys are so funny together. 😆 Loved the little train plates, those were so cute!

I love this video! I watched it twice you and your friend have such fun energy!

lol I love that you're in to trains, this is quite unexpected. The train barrier signal noise hits hard any time I hear it 😍

This is exactly what I needed to accompany my Sunday morning coffee 😅

I hope you two make another video together such good vibes

My partner and I are planning a trip to Japan next year and I'm definitely adding the train izakaya to my list of places I want to go.

What a lovely izekaya, and an adorable video! Your outro was especially apt given today's theme.

Fun video! Love the music in this one.

Looks like a really cool restaurant! Awesome video!

This was all so hecking adorable... love the cozy geeky specificity of it and the enthusiasm. The themed foods and the waitresses cute outfit and interactions are so fun hehe! Also the coffee and kiwi is such an unhinged combo but I would still try it! 🤔😸 Thank you as always for your content that never fails to cheer me up! I couldn't attend your last stream but enjoy your time off! Relaxing can be weirdly difficult at first but I believe in you lol! ✨

I thought trains went choo and cars went vroom, but I guess there could be a train out there that goes vroom vroom instead of choo choo.

You guys have a highly energetic chemistry together. That train place had a really interesting vibe and I love the booth seats being train seats. Now I really want to go there, possibly solely to play rock paper scissors and do the omlette carriage linking chant..

Great surprise! I love Shizuka

What did l just watch? Whatever, it was a lot of fun. More please. Thankyou girls. ♥️

I know it’s usually my outside experience via video, but food (outside of salads and things you’d expect) at themed cafes and bars always looks cold, so I was happy to see some flaming steak.

The more videos I see about Japan, the more I believe it would be the perfect place for me to live. Like, I'm not even joking. Love your Videos, Emma! ^_^

I was in Japan 2 months ago and one of the nice things about being into trains is you spend so much time of them that this brought back some good memories. Emma if you come to Melbourne, there's a place called Easeys that has 3 old train carriages welded onto the top and you can eat in them :O. Definitely recommended.

OMG! I need to go there on my next visit to Japan! My inner train otaku girl is soooo excited about this. And I don't even care what it tastes like, I want the hayabusa drink! 😍

I visited this cafè in early April. I met one of my college professor's colleague in Akihabara and he took me to this cafè for our meeting. It was a great experience.

Really nice train themed bar and Karaoke in the end was like cherry on top of cake!

That was cool and really funny, thanks to both of you, that was awesome! ✌❤

That Mario Bros throwback was amazing well done

TGV mean "train à grande vitesse" that funny "little TGV - little high speed train" in translation

Omg! I've never seen a train cafe anywhere!

The steam trains in Japan undoubtedly a rival for the ones in the UK absolutely beautiful locomotives

I'm not into trains anymore than the next person but I'd totally go here.

you can't go wrong with Journey. Keep having fun for us. great izakaya

I thought that lady showing up from behind the bus is the special guest...

THAT will be one of my next stops in Japan on my next trip! 🤩 I can't wait do visit it and take some photos to send home to my colleagues at the train company I've been working at the last 12 years. :D Not all are nerdy about trains but those who are will definitely love it! 😄 Nice one Emma!

The A Ta Gueule Orient-Express might be the train restaurant experience you two were looking for. I'd love to travel on that train and try the french foods.

If I could summon half the energy Shizuka has I could rule the world

Mad as a box of frogs. Clearly the owner ‘likes his trains’

The flames right next to the alcoholic drinks @06:45 made me a little nervous lol.

This was a great video Emma! 🚆 😊🔥👏❤️

I definitely need to check this out next time I visit Japan! My family! My kind! My trains! Hahahaha ❤

That Mario sequence is peak youtube, love your whimsical nature Emma!

Great vid, great vibes, and great Mario brothers cover. enjoy your brake!

Fun video with a great theme. Thanks for the peek into Otaku.

Very excellent editing of meme-worthy moments! :)

You don't get food like that on Queensland Rail. And as mentioned already TGV stands for Train a Grande Vitesse or High Speed Rail, which is what the French call their high speed rail system. Obviously the restaurant owners think the French Shinkansen system must be pretty good too to name their restaurant after it (and also all the Japanese rail words like Shinkansen might already be trademarked).

When you said you were still going to train karaoke, I immediately thought of Don't Stop Believing. Hubs used to do that song at karaoke in Japan so often and the video that we always saw was on a train, lol.

TGV is basically France's shinkansen or bullet train (Train Grand Vitesse) also, wasted opportunity not singing Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne

I am not obsessed with trains but I do think trains are cool and neat and ride them whenever I can so yes this bar does seem like a good time to me

As a fellow Brisbanite with a healthy hate for QR, I was blown away at how good the trains are in Tokyo. I took a breather at one of the train platforms to have a drink and watched in amusement as people ran to get on the Yamanote line trains in the same way people do in Brisbane except the trains came every other minute instead of every other hour!

Oh, I just knew Journey was going to show up in that Karaoke montage.. 🤣 That train Izakaya looked amazing! I will definitely check it out when I am in Japan in the spring.. Although as I will be there on my own, I doubt the experience will be as much fun as you both had! I am hoping to spend a couple of months over there, so you never know, maybe I will find someone to go with! We'll catch the midnight train to bevytown!

You two make a good pair!! Well done!

this is an amazing video

Yes ! More videos like this Please !!

Wow the two of you look great. Awesome vid!

I'm headed back to Tokyo for my 5th time. I'll definitely check it out!

I love how the drinks match the colours of the shinkansens.

It makes me happy to see people having that much fun :)

Always love it when Shizuka is in a video~ ❤‍🔥

That was a lot nicer than I was expecting, when you showed the little window I was expecting it to be much smaller than it was.

This how video is so delighting! I LOVE IT TRAIN \o/

Akihabara is the best! We stayed in the Under Railway Hotel when we were there a few weeks ago!

Omg this place is SO adorable. From the tickets you get at the door to the train bench booths to the train themed foods. And I love Shizuka! So happy to see her guesting and hope for more! The Mario Bros. rap remix had me WHEEZING. 🤣 The karaoke was a sweet bonus, too! Thanks for the vid! This is a good one! Hey, I just realized your outro matches perfectly.

You had me at “bevvie”

That Fall Out Boy edit 😂😂

I have to admit the hostess at the Isakai's was extremely cute due to her enthusiasm for everything.

0:15 "ARE YOU NOT INTO TRAINS?"

This was literally so fun

Another video!!!

I wish I could translate the profound love of trains here for you. I think, my interpretation, and this is just a ballpark interpretation, is they represent a promise made that was a costly shock for the traditional way of life and actually, randomly I have wanted to say this, on the Fukushima regeneration program, if you've maybe observed some of the deeply novelly themed train services but equally the standard lines in the north, there is a deep and direct connection between the communities that the rail services and the rail itself. I know it's not really the subject of this video but, since we invest so deeply in rail, I always want to tell people about some of the aspirational town planning that has happened in conjunction with rail, granting that a lot of villages and towns outside of the city are not especially exceptional and I'm sure you've probably noted that occasionally when seeing them pared with the extensive reserve of nature that is very often now, almost growing wildly in any places. One of our concepts, that I am proud of, is the communal centre village that from town to town, typically features an estate of housing around something like a town square very often a school complex and small shops. And from place to place these infrastructures, are generally dispersed relative to population and along the rail lines. So, I mean, to accrue to the concept of 'assisted redistribution' very often these homes are the most affordable offering close to the most amenities available within maybe 7km of each. I look back at the Fukushima crisis and I see a devastating blow that rendered the country both numb and collectively shocked and what I also see, is the quiet resilience with which like a forest decimated by fire, soon enough, green shoots begin to show and then eventually saplings and trees and so on. The incentive for many, to leave the city, in my view, lies in community lifestyle, connectivity and flexibility. Ofcourse, even after twelve years, this process and idea, is still being hashed out every day. Certainly, at the centre of the conundrum, lies the everyday ambitions and hopes of the people, it is hard sometimes to convince people to see a future that, perhaps lies outside of the reality that they might have always dreamed or hoped would be. I would point out that, in commiseration with the international stance on 'forced relocation', along with cheap Akiya and various other incentives we have sought instead of demanding for the good of the nation, to convince and provide... so, I suppose, I am glad that there is still a strong tradition of rail in Japan, even that it cut such deep wounds across the country in a bygone day since, it provides us with an avenue that is in reach to achieve a broad range of goals, not limited to those relating to carbon restructuring.

TGV stands for Train à Grande Vitesse or "Train of Great Velocity" in English

Not sure what was going on with the ice cream swirl on your head at the end, but the train izakaya looked like lots of fun. Who doesn't like karaoke!

Interesting video with these two.... I like it!😊

8:50 omg Emma casually redefining the word “ s e x y ” for my dictionary again 😂❤

TGV is for Train a Grande Vitesse ( High speed train in France )

What a fun time! You made such a cool best buds fun video. Thumbs up

7:56 Shizuka Anderson

I know it has nothing to do with the video but the train map reminded me about Metro 2033.

Great fun video!

I love your editing and humor as always :D
