So, in case you are not familiar with "hormone" in the Japanese culinary sense -- it is offal, organ meat and other such bits, mostly of cows and pigs, that is sometimes believed to be a power-building sort of food.
I like the efficiency of the room. Two beds, enough room to be comfy, shades if someone needs to nap while someone is up using the lights, a bit of air conditioning. As for the night meal....I wasn't expecting a packet of internal organs to be available. That's kind of awesome. If there was a little bit of sake or beer to enjoy before going to bed, that'd be a fun snack. The Game Room being closed sucks, but I dare you to name another ferry ship that has a 24/7 dining area and an arcade in America.
Thanks again for your great Ferry uploads. Wow so many vending machines to be topped up. I do like the little Ferry gifts you purchase. I look forward to your next adventure. Adam from the UK
Quite misty in the morning while approaching the dock. When it comes to bunk bed and train berth, I always take the lower berth as I have some phobia about the upper berth. On the whole, you always fail to disappoint us by uploading all the wonderful videos about Japan! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
In all these videos with vending machines on board, not a single one was jammed or had the product get stuck. Definitely a better ethic about designing, maintaining, and stocking than here in the USA.
Thank you for the video! It’s best to translate ホルモン as offal. It looks like it was pork, right? For other viewers, it seems that ホルモン (horumon) may be a multilingual derivation/pun, hence the katakana. In Kansai-ben, 放る物 (hōrumon) is discarded stuff, whereas the Greek ὁρμῶν (hormôn) means setting in motion. Eating ホルモン is suppose to make you more energetic and lively, which tracks somewhat with organ meats being high in various vitamins and minerals. It’s not good to eat too much too often though!
"Hachinohe factory area is always lit." I know exactly what you mean perfectly clear. But I still laughed because the American slang meaning of "lit." Thank you always for taking us on your journeys.
I have been on ships at sea in foggy conditions before, and they seem to operate more or less normally, but they did sound the ships horn every five minutes or so to alert other passing ships of their presence, which could get loud.
Also radar to locate other ships and such things as bridge pillars -- sometimes (especially on sailboats) you'll see these things hanging on the mast (three flats at 90-degree angles from each other) that are made to reflect radar signals far better than a fiberglass hull can by itself 🙂
Reminds me of the ferry that my family took to get to Macau from Hong Kong. You can either get a bunk bed like this, but they were all in a common large room on the ferry. Or you can get a airline like seat in a large hallway and watch tv.
I'm curious - what exactly is salted hormone? I'm not sure if it's a bad translation but google isn't helpful for figuring it out! Thanks for sharing your travels!
Hormone-yaki (ホルモン焼き) is a Japanese dish, consisting of broiled internal organs of pigs, cows and poultry in the shape of large and small intestines, stomach, liver, heart, kidney, lungs, etc. This dish used to be served only in Korean barbecue restaurants. However, ready-made packages with already seasoned organ meat have been widely distributed in the supermarkets, so that anyone can quickly prepare this dish at home.
I think the room was too small for 2 persons especially for stranger but luckily you stay alone for this trip. In my country Aomori apple juice is very expensive a very small bottle cost about 300 yen.
You eat yummi Things so i realy like you ^-^and i like you because of the cool sailing tour you did take us with you and your cute commentares yay. Have a wonderful Day when you read this and warm and friendly greetings from germany ^-^
Late night meanderings again ... such a night owl you are ...lol. Not my style of a room with my phobias of small spaces but it looked comfy and spotlessly clean. I would be lost with those vending machines. Thanks for the foggy journey. Bushyboy Oz.
I've stayed places where I would have loved to have those vending machines instead of having just junk to eat. However, there's no way I'm sharing a room with a stranger. Leaving port at night is different than leaving in the day - there's something melancholy about it.
Iirc you can sometimes get the rooms to yourself if you pay extra -it's just not worth it if it's not busy because they don't double people up if they can help it.
This was so nice. I sat with my toddler and narrated the trip for her. She really liked the vending machines, we don’t have many like that in the US so it was quite the surprise for the 2 year old! Thank you for sharing!
La belle ironie à l'accueil ou : L'écueil de taille ( voire taille d'écueil ) ... Vous avez fait bon voyage ??? Et moi, avec mon cordex, à pester contre ce crochet où se prend le fil, qui vérifie l'aplomb des étais ... Azy ... garde la pêche !!! Merci, ... Bonne route, et @+ Dare, care, ride safe, clean, have fun ... From France with .
Great trip, Itsuka. Believe it or not, Vending Machine have strong persuasive force for passengers to spend their money in there rather than Onboard Restaurant.
WOAAAA AWESOME this guy actually sleeps inside a vending machine *gets popcorn and watches* wait what? this guy actually travels with a boat and eats food out a vending machine? thats not what the video title says and promised me as i clicked on the video...? Sir, let me give you the Middle-Finger-Salut!
Hallöchen Itsuka, thank you, your video made me dream again. Feels like holiday from everyday life. Is there any way I could support you? Have a nice day, スティーブン 🤪
