Family Restaurants in Japan 👑🐷 Royal Host 

"WHOA deja vu!" If that's what you are thinking, you might have already seen this video. I'm moving some older videos over to my King Kogi channel, so if you've already seen it, you're not going crazy

The fact that I’m catching a new Martina post WHILE IN JAPAN, gives me such an extra boost of joy!!!

Oh I haven't seen this one somehow. I'm grateful it's reuploaded here so I can enjoy it like it's brand new! 😸 Hope you (and Kogi!) are doing well, Martina!

I just came back from Japan with my husband and 4 year old son. We went to Royal Host and omg it lived up to the hype. One of the best kid’s meals too. I honestly would never have known if I hadn’t seen this video. Thanks Martina!!

I love these type of videos, they're really immersive and help a lot with doing research. Thank you!

Having a rough day but seeing a video from Martina always makes building a ladder easier!

I would love to see a Tokyo Pizza Guide, Tokyo Ice Cream Guide, or Tokyo Bakery Guide.

Martina!! Just wanted to say ur efforts for this channel have been amazing! I know it’s hard to revive and reach old to old subscribers with channel transitions. But I just really love everything you’ve been doing, from the thumbnails to the editing!! Don’t feel too obligated to go out too much if ur body is tired, I love your at home cooking videos too 💕 Sending much love ur way!

This is so great. I'm heading to Japan in Sept/Oct and I totally forgot they had this place. My younger sister is on the spectrum and I'm taking her with me for her first international trip, and this place looks like a good place to take her. Thank you for always showing such interesting and accessable places.

I’m getting 70’s-80’s vibes but in a very cozy way!

I remember going to a family restaurant when I went to Japan in 2016, this made me so nostalgic bc I had a great meal there lol, I can’t wait to come back soon

I found Martina again!! Oh my goodness, my heart nearly exploded with joy! It's been so long since i was able to watch, i lost access to my old youtube account. This brings back such nostalgia and joy, you kept me sane during exam season and long work days. I loved watching your videos when i couldn't sleep. YAY!

I used to go to Joyfull in Ehime!! This reminds me so much of it ❤❤

After watching your video I went to Royal Host in Shinagawa yesterday. 6 years in Tokyo and never been before. Had the onion soup and strawberry dessert - both delicious. Definitely will be going again. Thanks for the recommendation!

Yyyeeaaahhh ! Thanks x 100 for rehoming these old videos to KK . Japanese diners looks awesome !!! Thanks for explaining menu ~

Awesome! I've been looking for places to take my sister-in-law and 10 year old niece when we visit. The niece is a chatty gal, so a place that noise is tolerated is appreciated. Can't beat that parfait!

On our last trip to Japan we ate breakfast at Royal Host and I fell in love. Was so spotless you could eat off the floor.

I love watching any of your videos. They bring me so much joy, you always have a way of pulling people in and making feel like an old friend. I will happily rewatch any older videos you have to post. Much love Martina, from a longtime viewer 💕

Love that you are doing the King Kogi Travel Guide! For our first time in Japan we used so many of your videos before as our guide we are coming back later on this year and I will definitely get this thank you so much.

I am so glad that you have new content and that you are getting your numbers back up there :)

I really like these types of videos, showing a different side to Japan to what we usually see Great job

I feel like the menu just seems so long bc it has pictures for everything! I honestly really appreciate that so you know what you’re getting

Omg I've been to that Royal Host! Had the Hamburger deal, waiter was great and there's a large supermarket nearby 😍I miss Japan!

Martina your personality is infectious keep up the great work!!

So glad you’re reuploading videos to King Kogi! I love this one it’s so relaxing and cozy to watch.

My parents live in Japan and I always tell them about things you recommend! Sadly my mom didn’t like coco curry…I think she was comparing it to Indian Curry

Woot! Time to rewatch Martina eating delicious food! "Oh nuu," said no one ever! Thank you for posting such interesting videos, especially how to order with the little button and showing us the menu. Your peppiness and excitement for trying new things is so contagious. God, onion soup is the most deceiving soup. It's like, "Don't eat me. I'm not aesthetically appealing," and then it's the best thing you've ever had in your life. My top three soups are potato bacon, onion soup, and tomato bisque.

Martina I love your content. It calms me so much and allows me to take my mind off any troubles. I am going into medical school soon and started watching you when I was only 13!!! So glad to see you back doing what you love. Much love from New Orleans, Louisiana.

I’ve eaten at the Royal Host in Kobe a few times. It’s so much like going to Shoney’s. The menu and photos, the drink bar, and even the treats for sale near the cashier. It was fun after so many “regular” Japanese restaurant.s

I'm currently saving up for a trip to Japan! So many exciting sights to see, food to be tasted, gashapons to be pulled, and plushies to snuggle

Funnily enough we hadn't of thought of taking the fam to family restaurants in Japan. 😆 I think we will have to reassess our position on family restaurants the next time we visit Japan. Thanks Martina.

It's interesting to see a mix of traditional-ish items and things I'd expect to see at Denny's in the US. It would be fun if you went back for breakfast ( or anywhere for breakfast-- seems like no one talks about breakfast).

That's such an extensive menu! And indeed, everything looks exactly the same as shown in the photos. Glad I am having a meal while watching this.

Japanese Denny’s is quite similar but I dare say their grand menu is even more massive, and surprisingly creative.

This is an interesting slice of life of things in Japan, I like it! It's basically the Denny's experience. I love odd things about life, it's like a documentary of the bland.

I am definitely going to try to convince my friends to visit this one when we are in Japan.

Martina, you are thriving! The addition of the travel guides is a terrific extension of your beautiful videos. just so happy for your continued success!

I keep getting surprised that there were older videos I missed! Thank you for sharing these again, it was a nice surprise!

Missing Japan so much. Thanks for a great video.

We went to Jonathan’s a couple of times when we visited Japan and loved it - such good value, but so hard to choose from the massive menu! The drink bar thing is so much fun (might’ve got a bit overexcited 😆).

Unfortunately (for the most part) I have horrible memory, but it comes in handy when my favorite youtubers reupload their videos because they are always new to me! 😆

I don't know why, but this brought back memories of long road trip & pit stops.

YESSS!!! I was hoping you will migrate this video over to the king kogi land! thanks for the hard work Martina!

These videos are so comforting to me. I'm able to gently see something new, but in a familiar way. These travel guides are such a good idea.

I lived in Oosaka from 2004-2006, and regret to admit that I never knew these 'everything' restaurants do such good food!!

I started watching this when you posted it and was too hungry to continue! I had to come back to it and am finishing it today! Great video.

Really love your videos. The dream is to make it to Japan and hopefully never leave. I am concerned with some of my food allergies, but I can live on fish and rice.

Welcome to Japan. Where deliciousfood and entertainment are abundant

Love the travel guide idea. I won't be able to visit Japan in a while, but I am praying that it still exists when I do go.

Me and my partner literally made a run to a local chain after watching your video! Thx for reco on our last couple of days in Japan.

15:34 i can see the joy in your face even tho your face is not focused😂 can someone look at me the way Martina looks at that strawberry parfait

Oh! I never got a chance to go to this place when I lived in Japan 12 years ago. But it reminds me of the Big Boy they have up in Northern Japan Hachinohe! I was so surprised to see a Big Boy still in existence coming from the US. I wonder if it's still there....would give anything to go back to Japan and see my friends again. Miss this and the country😭

No pressure, but any chance you could do a video on halal restaurants in Tokyo/Japan? One of my favorite videos was your Korea one, and this video really brought me those same vibes. Thanks!

Good timing! Just before coffee time so my brain can pretend it's never seen it before! 😆

Royal Host is like "upper-class" family restaurant, it's a tad more expensive than most other family restaurants.

It makes me so happy to see you post videos like these 🥺❤️ making me miss Japan sm 😩

Somehow managed to miss this video before. Happy to enjoy it on a monday morning after a stressful deadline yesterday. Thanks Martina 😀

French oinion soup is my favorite - easy to make

Hey Martina, I just wanted to thank you for your amazing content! It's really what I was looking for on RU-vid for a while, but couldn't find. A video that is informative YET feels like I am just a friend coming along pretending to be actually living in Tokyo. It truly let's me escape from my day to day life and gives me the authenticity of actually traveling without doing it. I especially love playing them while doing chores so they are less boring and I just wanted to thank you for that. Please stay the way you are and show us all the little things in life one might not notice through a normal RU-vid Video (like the stickers on the streets). Greetings from Germany 💖

Wish you all the best, Martina!

Omg, you are literally my childhood!! I’m so glad to come across your videos again🩷🩷🩷

Great video! So interesting to see a different kind of place to eat! Love your content for this kind of variety! It helps to give information about something that I probably would have been too shy/scared or intimidated to check out in my own. Thank you!

Congrats on the launch of the travel guide! That's a big project!

Holy crap, just caught up with things, and subscribed here instead. It's great to see this video here. It brought back lovely memories of our time in Japan in 2019. Love, light and peace from two old folks ♥

I am so so so excited for my Japan trip now!

🎉yay new video 🎉

Knew it was a repost but that won't stop be from watching because this video was 10/10 😊

Every time you post martina I watch it instantly. Every single video you have posted so far has been super entertaining and informative. I've been following you since I was in middle school and your energy has never changed. I appreciate your positive energy and humor and I look forward to your content every time!!! I will be visiting Japan in the future so I will definitely be using your tour guide plans

Martina, you rock! Thank you for your videos over the years! Sharing your ups and downs, they made me laugh and cry! Thank you for your honesty, humour and positivity! Keep up the goodness! You are a beautiful soul!

Love seeing this vid on this channel. I drooled watching these delicious meals again😀🤤

Always excited to see a video from you and they really help on low appetite days.

I’m so happy you made this video! I’ve been really curious about these kind of diners! 😃💖💖💖

Hi Martina! Great video!! This had the exact charm that the old FAPFAPs had it was such a delight, I know this video will be a comfort video for years to come. I'm going to Japan in October for two weeks for my honeymoon and my to-be-husband and I are at a total loss on what to do - we want to try ryokans with the tubs in the room (tattoos), I'd love a guide of relaxing things to do in Tokyo, Kawaguchiko, and Kyoto!

These videos give me life. Thank you for doing you and your incredible authenticity

So nice to see these uploads, always worth another watch!

I'm legit going to try this when I'm there next month lol

much love for our dear leader King Kogi. Love this video!

Omg Martina, this came on my feed at total random. I'm so happy to see you 😊

Awesome Sauce and Burgers My Kind of EATS !! Thanks Martina for all the Fun You Bring it really helps.

Hadn't had the opportunity to watch the original video, watching it now! Thanks Martina ♡

I love going to local diners while on road trips! The Royal Host looks better than any US diner chain I've been too imo. There's a chain of gas stations in the Mid-Atlantic called Royal Farms, which some people call RoFo (they have great, extra salty, but great fried chicken).

So many lonely planet vibes! Love this style of travel discovery videos, I'm 15 again watch PBS on channel 5 on a Sunday afternoon.....(happy content noise).

That Hamburg tastes like Salisbury Steak. You know the frozen Swanson’s meal

Martina this is such a good idea! Thank you for putting this together

Have you tried Coco’s? I’m fine with any type of coffee, so I can’t tell about that, but they use real milk in their cappuccino machines (I only know because I saw the staff putting the milk in the machine). If you tell them it’s a birthday party, they will sing happy birthday with tambourines and take a picture for you!

I really love your videos, you just have a great personality and your happiness is really contagious

I really don't know what it is but your videos always feel like coming home. I talk the same way to my friends and family when we go out to eat. So homey 🥺

Watching your videos when I’m famished is a special kind of torture. 😂

Yay! I love that you did a Royal Host review, I shared to my parents as we will be visiting Japan in the fall for their first trip - Royal Host will be a great option for them for some slightly American style food to make them feel a little more at home.

Amazing idea with the travel guide! It fits you perfectly!

“Crabulous” Never hit subscribe so fast in my life.

Thank you, Martina! Need to check out a RoHo next time I’m in Japan. I’d love to see a guide on Okinawa! 💖

Yeah, we had a family restaurant near us in Ushiku. Reasonable prices and pretty good food. We called it the flag place because it had lots of flags outside. It had a name but I never knew what it was

Thank you for doing the guides, we’ll be going through them as we will be in Tokyo in august. Coming from Toronto and will be our first time in Japan.

Hey you~ Another great episode! Love your humor~ Since there are so many places to eat I really didn't consider Royal Host....but next trip I must experience this fam jam.

This is a great suggestion for my family trip with my kiddos! Thank you! I was telling my husband that japan doesn't scam you, what it looks like on the menu is what it looks like in real life!

Happy to rewatch this video - I’d forgotten about it! Would love to see a first-timer to Tokyo guide - I’ve got a running list of suggestions I’ve cobbled together through the years, but it’s so long now beginning actually planning a trip is overwhelming to say the least. Would love your current thoughts on the highlights - the guides look great!

Anyone visiting from North America, and may be a picky eater (or travelling with a picky eater), would probably really like this place. The fact that the portion sizes look HUGE, I feel like if you go here for lunch, they will be able to eat enough that if they don't have a lot for dinner, they still won't go hungry. I know my brother and his wife would love this place, lol. I think he would especially love the drink buffet. I know my mom would totally steal some of those teabags too, lol.

Congrats on the foodie travel guide! It'll help a lot of people I'm sure!

I really like Royal Host…..very good value! Auesome background music….and love your channel
