Eating Nonstop in Osaka & Kyoto 

Wow I ate SO MUCH.. 😂 This trip happened right after I tore a ligament in my ankle.. & so I could barely walk & it kept swelling up (also took taxis literally everywhere haha 💸) which is why there was minimal sightseeing & mainly eating lol My other secret is that this trip was actually spread out over 8 DAYS, but magically edited it into 4 days 😉

Kyoto station is such a beautiful work of architecture and engineering

I am Japanese, originally from Japan (Tokyo), and you definitely know better than I do loool. I now live in the US, but I will plan my next Japan trip based on your videos. Thank you so much for loving where I am from and the culture!

The gold character that you kept seeing is called Billiken, a "god" in the area of Osaka. (I say "god" because he has only been around since the early 1900s, and was invented in America) It is said that his arms are too short to scratch the soles of his feet, and so he will grant good fortune/luck to any who will scratch them. You should do more food/drink vlogs Sarah, you picked some awesome looking stuff to show.. This was a great video. I love how Kyoto has held onto it's traditional architecture, it looks beautiful there.

Eating and drinking is an underrated hobby. Much better than visiting temples and shrines. 🙂

I appreciate you showing off the local gems away from the tourist areas

"Glico man" is the special character for the caramel candy from Ezaki Glico, one of the top confectionery makers in Japan. The name is derived from glycogen, an energy source inside the animal body. The advertising blurb for the product is "Just one piece helps you run 300 meters," because it has 16.5 kcal which is necessary to run the distance.

Food is great! In Japan, even better!! Oh yeah!!

I like Kyoto. There are a lot of mix of old and new buildings. You can see more people with traditional clothing.

やっぱり京都はG00D 。セーラさんのセンスが光っているね。

Okonomiyaki is the first thing i wanna have if i ever visit Japan.

Wow, living the sweet life! 🙂

Such a sweet heart, love your vibe..... I'll watch more! love the vibe and adventure! Byeeee!!!!

so cool to see this much of osaka and kyoto very grateful to sara for showing us but I am glad I did not watch this hungry also I hope her ankle got better!

Thank you for sharing. I hope to visit all of those places someday; the food looked so good! 😋

Osaka is the best. Good food, good vibes. Better than Tokyo.

No amount of food or drink can defeat our Aussie girl! Seems the only kryptonite is a small Italian plumber! 😂 Great video as always, delicious food, stunning views, and a gorgeous host! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very funny 4 days in Kyoto Osaka!!!🎉😅😂 I enjoyed too😊

My wife and I are having tea cocktails at O5 thanks to your recommendation and it is amazing!!

A lot of really nice spots, especially the Kushikatsu place looked amazing (I'd love to try the lotus root).

Great video, everything looked so delicious.

So many recommendations for Kyoto and Osaka condensed into this vid! Definitely saving it for the next time I find myself in those cities. Thanks!

Since I saw the community post, was very excited to see this one. LOL. (Although it's like the middle of the night here, so I'm going to get real hungry real quick dammit...)

Seerasan is my go to guide for japan .

I loved going to Bee Rush right by Dotobori. They go all out with the Halloween theme.

Amazing video.

Love seeing your reactions to some of these places having been to them before, glad to see not much has changed since i've last been. Great vid.

As a foodie travelling to Japan soon I thank you for this video ❤

Thanks for taking us with you. That looks like so much fun. You are a trooper going on a sore ankle.

Visiting next month and definitely saving some of these spots to my map!!

So glad to watch this whilst eating dinner! It was like getting a tour of the places you visited ☺️. Glad your ankle is all better as well 🥳

Wish you had made this video BEFORE we went to Kyoto (just came back from a 3 week trip), so many nice places! Oh well I'll just bookmark them for next time ;) TY!

Damn, that tea bar looks really good! Amazing view from Tsutenkaku Tower too. Thanks ninja Sarah!

Thank you so much for another awesome video 👏👏. I've saved this to my Japan wishlist 🇯🇵. With all this food you ate Seera, how do you stay so slim 🤔. Love 💗 and hugs 🤗🫶

That was a bloody awesome video - thanks for all the recs!

Thank you for Osaka & Kyoto tour! You have shown and selected so many places. It was nice to see so many things to visit (like boat trip). Also previous Ninja training with Tokidoki team resulted good hits.

Watching this while fasting is a baaaddddd idea but here we are 🎉😂

damn, now i'm hungry...

So many amazing places!

You look radiant in this video!

wowww love the video!

Yes. Yes yes YES!!!! Love it!

I love these food vlogs, they leave me famished. Everything looks amazing

This video is making me really hungry! 🤤🤤🤤

had to pause half way through to go cook a snack for myself. well filmed!

Once again loved your video. You have no compunction. You come from a beautiful country of sunshine and infinite sandy beaches whilst showing this exuberance and love for another far of land and culture so diverse from your own. I think this adaptivity is is very rare. PEACE! Once again I love your videos keep them coming. Wish to visit Japan soon.

I had to stop the vid. in the middle and make pancakes. Cheers all.

Thanks for sharing.

Grand Tea House adventure!! Converse Texas loves your vlogs!!

Looks like you had a fun trip!! Hope your ankle gets better soon, and keep up the good work :)

Good job it was 8 days. That’s a lot of tasty snacks.

Love the video. Saw u around Yanaka ginza a few weeks ago but was a bit shy to say hello.

The Gate Hotel rooftop bar was a great suggestion. Enjoying coffee and french toast and taking in the view as I write this. Thanks for the tip.

So many hidden gems in this vid. Places I’d have never known about otherwise. Making my lists now! Awesome vid!!!🍸🍜☕️

18:15 i went to the abeno harukas building in front of you. the view there was amazing. glad you went to shinsekai though, it was one of my favourite areas in osaka

You're the best 👑🍲

I can’t wait to go back for a longer stay at Osaka! Last time I was there just for two nights 😁

Sarah have you thought of leaving a list of the places that you have reviewed ? It saves us having to sit down with pen and paper making notes on the places to go in kyoto and Osaka...

Next time you're in Kyoto I dare you to show us the ninja cafe you briefly worked at...

I had to stop the video at the okonomiyaki and walk away it was making me crave it too much. One of my favourite things to eat in Japan (or anywhere really). Hope your ankle is better.

Nice! I'll be sure to check out the cafes when I go there in 2 weeks! CAN'T WAIT! just hope I don't get lost lol

so those golden statues are called Billiken which are called the God of the Way things Ought to Be, people tend to pray at them for good fortune in business, schools and love and there is a myth saying rubbing their feet brings extra luck fun fact they were made by an American artist called Florence Pretz back in the early 1900s

You look gorgeous as always. I am glad to see someone loving coffee as much as I do. When I was in Karlsruhe my nickname was Coffee Dante. This is is one of my favorite videos. Really enjoyed it. Thank you. Sending Love from SanDiego. 😊

I will be taking my first trip internationally to Tokyo Japan on November 17. I have been watching all your videos, you have helped me so much. Thank you😊

Love your yellow One Ok Rock T-shirt!

Where do you put all that food I gained ten pounds in Japan

Loved this. Clearly the coffee is good there as Australia has such a coffee culture, you’d be a good judge of quality and taste.

Dude, I want to visit Kyoto ASAP for all those oishiness!

hojicha highball! what dreams are made of

LOve those night time views of Osaka. But I am wondering if there is anything to do down by the harbor at night.

I am watching this while lying in bed and eating an apple🙃

Eating/drinking up a storm, mate :-) And compliments on your mad ninja skillz. Best wishes from a fellow Aussie. P.S. I was able to beat "Super Mario Bros" on the NES back in the day, but I swear the arcade machine was more difficult (so don't feel bad).

We stayed at the Gate Hotel Kyoto and it's great! Just the breakfast was a bit disappointing

KANSAI MASTER!

Your Japanese pronunciation is perfect!

All this delicious food...and I'd been looking for more ideas of places to go when I eventually visit Japan. A note about Super Mario Bros. arcade...it is a fair bit less forgiving than the original NES/Famicom version...and later stages are completely different from their home counterparts. I could speedrun the NES version (was able to beat the game in just under 6 minutes at one point)...but I never made it past World 6 in the arcade version (but at least my initials were on the top of the scoreboard at the end 😜). And all the various sort of carnival games looked like fun (while the corked rifle and throwing a ball into a basket are things that happen often at fairs here in the States, I believe throwing shuriken wouldn't happen here, heh...but I'm pretty sure I'd have fun with it, as long as I didn't fumble it sideways). Looks like it was a blast indeed. Hope your ankle is feeling better these days 😊.

That was fun!

❤❤❤❤❤

Great ninja skills! Didn’t see you for the last meal 😂

"I usually find a lot of bars each time I come." Drinking problem confirmed 😅 Thanks for this video though. I'm currently planning an itinerary for the next year/year after and I always base it off of food first lol. This has given me some ideas ^_^

Also Hyogo is good place

I. AM. A. NINJA! love it hahaha

the Glico running man was modelled after a Filipino sprinter, Fortunato Catalon

京都の宿泊施設や旅行先の有名スポットは、外国人の方が詳しいかも知れない😅 グリコのランナーの看板は、昔のグリコのお菓子のパッケージのデザインだよ😊

I’ve been using iced hojicha and whisky for a while. Didn’t know that was a actual thing

Damn that okinomiyaki looks insane I stayed pretty close to that place😅I guess next time.

Excellent～😻ﾆｬ~

I like to eat too ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I be at Osaka on May 2024 for 26 days stay 😅

I literally thought you were calling the prizes poop, im thinking to myself, no don't do that, the lady is right beside you, but then i saw the key chain type thing that was shaped like a poop 😂 i hope your ankle heals quick Sarah.

So I visited Osaka this summer and we did an organised food walking tour. We were told the reason the Glico logo is a running man is that a single Pocky stick has enough calories in it to give you the energy to run 300 metres. I hope it's true!

Great spots! Where was the last place Osaka Day 5? What a view!

Kiodo 😉😄

Seems like Osaka eateries aren't afraid to look old Showa. While Tokyo cafe starting to look like any modern contemporary city.

What is the name of the place where I can throw the shuriken. I am visiting in a couple of weeks and want to go there. Where is it located? Thank you.

❤🎉

Does anyone know the name of that kushikatsu restaurant in osaka that she had for dinner with the Udon? I looked up kushikatsu restaurant osaka and.. well let's just say... there are SO MANY! lol

According to Glico PR, the founder got the idea of the logo(glico man) from kids running in the shrine. He also thought that logo would represent health that matches the company’s principle.

jeez no wonder you're a model. bloody beautiful

15:29 Sara said Camembert cheese, will Chris pop up?😂

Hi! There are two spots that I didn't see mentioned that I'd love to visit next month. The second pudding spot you posted and the Okinomiyaki dinner -- what are the names of those two places?
