Honestly I just like how Japan knows there is a lot of lonely ppl or ppl who like alone time like myself and they have awesome places like this. Stuff like this would 100% help me get out the house and to socialize even if just a little because I would feel ok to be by myself all the time for once.
Most of these single-diner places are for people who want to eat by themselves in peace, they are not meant to socialize and this is actively discouraged to do, if you want to socialize a izakaya would be a better place to go.
I lived in Japan for 16 years, the entire time having the same neighbor who I would see daily walking to wherever it is she worked, I don't know where that is, because other than a hello, she spoke not one single word to me in 16 years. It's an entirely different culture, you don't go out to eat with anyone but family for the most part, and you never, ever, go to other people's homes.
@@darknessblades I think you misunderstand "no social interaction" and "minimal social interaction". It's important to be apart of healthy environments, one way or another. x
¥4380 is $27.75 USD, Jimmy. That's not a bad price for all-you-can-eat buffet. 🇺🇸🤝🇰🇷BTW, I just had Korean BBQ for the 1st time on Saturday July 6, 2024. It was delicious. I also had Soju for the 1st time too. The restaurant is named "K-Pot."
@@jimmykimtv I did, brother. I ordered marinated pork belly, sirloin, beef tongue, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, onion, and lettuce. They didn't have Perilla Leaf, and of course, I included a ton of cabbage kimchi.
I am planning a solo trip so this was a good, balanced and honest review. I hate wasting calories on mediocre food so this really helped with being selective.
Jimmy, I'm a fairly new subscriber (just got here last week lmao) that's already been hooked by your narration style, thoughtful musings and humor, but today's video illuminated another aspect of your videos that's very personal for me. Anytime you close out with "goodbye my friends", I think of my late grandma who always referred to people as "my friend", even if they were a stranger. She's been gone for 14 years now, but I'm missing her reassuring words these days more than ever since this dumpster fire planet continues hurtling towards oblivion. Anytime I hear that closing in one of your videos I smile because I think of her. I know it may be a minor thing for most but for me it means so much. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for us! 🤗
Oh wow this is the second time in a month that I've randomly come across a badger badger mushroom reference, after not having seen it in maybe a decade or more! And the restaurant looks interesting too, definitely putting it on my list of places to check out on my future trip to Japan.
First video watching.. I’m a fan. You remind me of my kyodai Yuta. He was in school in Hawaii and after graduating University of Hawaii (Go Bows!) he went back home to Japan. Miss that buddy of mine. Great Video! Keep Eating and Keep Traveling! 🤙
Egg is for dipping your meat is a kind of japanese graving like oyako don😊 i also like single booths, in osaka nabe seafood pot. In kyoto mountain food so fresh. Like nara okonomiyaki booth with tepan grill😊
Thanks for the suggestion! Although you doing it all wrong! The thinner the meat the higher the fire should be!!! need to get that caramelization on the meat! But lovely video. Certainly on my to-do list when I go Japan!
Private buffet equals awesome! Live in Northern Virginia where there is a huge Korean population. Lots of Korean BBQ and hot pot, but nothing set up like the restaurant you visited. Jealous! All the best!
Considering I paid $26 USD for a boring chain buffet in Colorado the last time I went to one, and they didn't have nearly as good food and a cramped dining room, this was a great deal for the experience.
hello jim, thank you for this review. the hot bibimbap in the black bowl taste real more fun at nobu iby the iron chef. seared the salmon on the side. elle for jigae
Hey Jimmy! When are you going to make a trip to Singapore? If I remember correctly, you had a friend visit you from there. Be nice to see her again as well as see the city and their different foods!
Hey Jimmy! If you're still in Japan I really want to see you review the food at one of those yatai stalls. I wanna hear your opinion on how good the food and the vibes.
God look at that jaw on Jimmy. If i met him in person I'd have to decide if I hate'em, or I want him to be my friend....... I've decided. I like Jimmy, subscribed.
Excellent. We need more solo stuff for solo travellers :). Great suggestion for Directo as well. Very handy. Great video as always Jimmy :). Will note that place on my todoJapanFoodieMusthave list :D
Uncle Jimmy, how do you eat all this food all the time and not weigh a gazillion pounds? If you can successfully teach others to do that, it will be your goldmine.
That was. Ton A food Stuffed in your tummy dont get me wrong i enjoyed Jimmy a Lot's ! 🛸😁 🛸. hey Jimmy next time Can you review JAPANE Sauna ( ㅇr 찜질방 ) please 😁🏋️🏋️🌏👍👍
