Trying 4 speical new Ekibento in Japan that can heat up by itselt! 1. Limited Edition Hatsune Miku Beef Tongue Bento 2. Stewed Oyster Bento 3. Chicken Chanko Bento 4. Jajamen Udon & Gyudon bento
For those who aren't familiar with some aspects of Japanese culture. Vocaloid is actually a voice synthesizing software, with twin tails on the cover just being a made up idol they created to market the product. Chanko, the box with the Sumo Wrestler on it, is short for Chankonabe (sumo stew). It's the stew fed to sumo wrestlers (along with a whole bunch of rice) to make them so big and strong.
Miku is a type of vocaloid, one singer from the selection, every singer has it's own avatars but Miku is the most popular and was one of the first to be created, she's not really a made up idol anymore, since she actually became a virtual idol holding actual concerts and stuff, not just a face
🍱 There is an Aluminum foil pouch contained inside the Ekiben, under the food compartment. Pulling the activation string removes a separation strip that enables subcompartments containing Magnesium and Calcium Oxide to mix with Water inside the pouch. This starts a chemical reaction and the resulting heat transference warms up the meal. After approximately five minutes of warming, the meal is ready to be consumed. 🍱
Aha ok, thanks for the explanation. 😀 Everytime I see a Bacon video with these self heating boxes and pouches I wonder how long it will take before other countries start using these, and especially my country here in Sweden. They really seem to be conveinent as there are no need for fire or gas to heat a meal or drink.
@@P747 i tried self heating foods like these but it feels like something is missing when compared to food cooked from fire or electrical heat. It is just not as good.
Since American armed forces combat rations and civilian camping food uses the same technology, except you have to manually add water to the heat pouch, im surprised the US does not offer these meals like we see in this video.
the fact things like these boxes arent available everywhere as a convince alone is sad, these look so good, fair priced, and TONS of food and self heating! couldnt get better
Another great video, TY DancingBacons. Do other passengers care if you eat hot meals on the train? Also I would love you to do a video taking one of these boxes apart so we can see how the string mechanism works!
Taking the box apart sounds like a great idea! I would think these hot meals do bother some passengers who are easy irritable cause it does emit some smells compared to normal cold bento which are quite odorless
Truly amazing, the kinds of foods you can heat up with just the pull of a string. That beef tongue meal really does look just like something you'd find in a restaurant!
Excellent video, Dancing bacons. Ever thought of doing a top ten ramen food with location in future video? Your videos are key to knowing what's worth trying and what to pass on.
The heating devices would be stolen out of each meal to cook drugs and the cashier would help to arrange it as most of them are gangbangers. It would be a loss.
Beef tongue is such a underrated cut of meat. It's so good and it's a shame that you can't find very many places here in the U.S. that have it. With the exception of a few taco food trucks, restaurants just don't have it on the menu. 🙁
@@TheOtherBill We had a great restaurant here called Max's Deli that had beef tongue sandwiches on the menu and they were good, but sadly it closed down.
I've tried it only once because i've not been able to find where I live. I had it as a barbecue skewer very thinly sliced and tender I also tried chicken heart skewers. Both the beef tongue and the chicken heart were actually very tasty. The beef tongue is tender and doesn't have a strong beef taste. The chicken hearts don't actually taste like chicken at all they tasted more like a red meat like beef to me and they were also tender not chewy at all and i had expected it to perhaps have a weird snap when biting into it but they didn't, the texture is not like chicken meat but more like a tender cut of beef combined with the texture of a meat pate. I have never seen chicken heart or beef tongue at grocery stores where i live and i think people ought to give it a try. Some organ meat can be delicious if prepared correctly and it is also cheap to buy because often it is very overlooked and seen only as scrap for making stocks or dog food.
@@daddypascal Oh! Chicken hearts is another favorite. When my mom would make soup or chicken and dumplings she would buy a whole chicken and boil it with the giblets to make her own stock. She always gave me the heart and it was so good.
Train Bentos looks great! Thank you for sharing as always. (I don't think America is ready to see a smoking box on a public train though) DancingBacons, you inspired me to make my own Hawaii based food channel! (You consistently post great info and prices and not many channels do that!) I only have 800 subs, so I'm trying to work harder and harder to earn those subscribers. But the process is enjoyable and my only regret at the moment is I wish I had more time to make more videos. (Still work a 40 hr week and got littles to look afterwards) I also am saving money for a good camera and computer so I can make better quality videos.
Hopefully you keep the limited edition Miku bento box box, I’m sure it will be worth something eventually, especially when there are collectors that is willing to buy it for some good value
