Hi Kim Shelton! Very, very good choice! That and the octopus were the best dishes for sure! The natto and tuna was a brilliant combo! Thanks so much for watching this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀
It was brilliant Basingstoke Dave and good value for what you got we thought! Hope you get a chance to get there one day- Tokyo's food scene is mind-blowing. Thanks for watching and hope you like the other Japan content we have coming up. Cheers, Sheena
It’s pretty damn amazing Jade Cummings! This was my third visit and Sheena’s forth and we just love it more and more every time. We can’t wait to get back again! Thanks so much for watching this one! Start trip planning 😀👍🏼🙌 Cheers, Thomas 😀
Thanks so much Lartele! It was a great meal and the izakaya had such a buzzy atmosphere. Hope you enjoyed this one and are having a great week. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks so much for watching this one! It was a great local place to enjoy some seafood for a really good price! We loved filming there! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Hi JOONIE WYNN! Haha thanks! It’s so neat being able to do this as a couple. We love it! Thanks so much for watching this one and we’re so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Thank you for watching! This was such a great seafood feast for the price! We really enjoyed filming it and we’re so glad you enjoyed watching! Thanks so much! - Thomas 😀😀
OMG those bowls!!!! That tuna! Uni, so amazing.When I first saw that natto dish, I was like...er. Then as you described it it, it made sense. I am so jealous I am a fan of fermented foods that I know here in US. I wish I could taste others. You both are awesome. Signed, a huge fan.
Thanks so much for your comment Denise Morgan Kalicki! Aren’t fermented foods the best! Such a great taste and so good for you too (bonus!). We’ve just been in Korea filming and had so many fermented things there. We loved it! What sort of things do you purchase in the US? Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀😀
We love all of those too Denise 😍 Thomas used to be the buyer and manager of an organic supermarket so we always had great access to those types of food. He got into making kombucha for a while there too and when we eventually had to get rid of the mother it weighed about a kilo- it was GIGANTIC 😝 Hope you're having a great week! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Thomas and Sheena. So nice to see you enjoying the food that much. Like the variety of the dishes you order also. It looks super fresh. Makes me really hungry 😀
Hi Mr Wang, hahahaha we REALLY enjoyed it! My favourite was probably the octopus- great flavours and textures.Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you've got a tasty snack on hand 😄 Cheers, Sheena
how fresh are all these seafood in japan - delicious guys as always ! making me miss japan non stop! indeed tuna looks unreal - huge slices! oh the rain! :(
Hi Nick, thanks for watching and commenting! We didn't want to leave Tokyo- we were loving it so much! The food is just insane right? Can't wait to get back for more seafood feasting. Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena i agree 😬- the food there really is tasty and cant even be compared to what we eat here in australia - like all the beef there has so much flavour and even more tender and juicer
I’m a new subscriber to your channel and I have binge watched your videos for a few days. I must say I absolutely love your content. Thanks for another great video, the seafood looks sensational there in Japan. Hi from Australia 👋🏼
Hi FitAngie! We're so happy to hear that and are so stoked that you are enjoying our content 😄😄😄 The seafood was SO tasty in Japan- we couldn't get enough of it! It's so pricey to eat good seafood in NZ so we tried to make the most of it! Thanks for watching and commenting 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena it’s very expensive here in Australia also, I haven’t even tried king crab legs yet lol. Thank you for sharing wonderful videos
Neither have I 😝 They look damn tasty! Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel FitAngie. Hope the rest of your week is brilliant! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena I love all your videos so far, I’ll be around for a long time believe me 😬 thank you have an amazing rest of the week
Great looking spread but I get the sense that you two weren't blown away with this joint. Still, beautiful food and terrific review. BTW, love the rain. 😀👍
😆😆😆😆😆 you're good at reading us Tosh! I thought about this meal a lot afterwards and decided that if we were to return I'd stick to their a la carte dishes- I loved both the octopus and the tuna and natto more than the seafood in the bowls- although the maguro was delicious. The bowls were good but didn't wow us 😄 So glad you enjoyed this one mate, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
I love how you describe the textures, flavours, aromas of the foods you try. It gives me confidence to try some " new" foods when i visit Japan! Great video Thomas and Sheena😊 always look forward to watching!
It makes us so happy to hear that Ngaire Lock! The thought of potentially missing out on something amazing is usually what spurs me to try new foods 😂😝 We're so glad you can eat and travel with us vicariously through our videos! 2 more Tokyo videos to come- hope you enjoy them too! Have a great week mate. Cheers, Sheena
You guys are both so sweet, adorable. And I love your family friendly content. I have a question. Do you guys signal each other if the other has food on their face? Im giggling thinking I know you guys got some secret hand signal going in.! Anyway peace, love to you both.
Hi Patty Ann! Thanks so much for the kind words and we're so glad to hear you're enjoying our content! We do the classic wipe your mouth signal for that one...can be a bit hard to keep the camera still though. haha sometimes we are mean to each other and just don't mention it though haha 😂 Thanks very much for watching this one and we hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Thomas 😀 PS during this one I didn't need any signals from Sheena...I just knew my face was covered 😂
😍😍😍😍😍😍 thanks so much MA M! So glad you are enjoying our videos! Hahahaha if only teleporting was a thing! I'd be zipping all over the world all day long- breakfast in India, lunch in Tokyo and dinner in Istanbul! Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy our Indonesia content we have coming up next! Cheers, Sheena
Awesome as ever guys. For me, Japan is a great example of a country which has changed my tastes for the better - I am the biggest seafood fan now. Just leave me surrounded by tuna or salmon sashimi and im happy! Roe is an acquired taste i guess, i get what u mean about popping! I'm with you on crab sheena! I remember my chili crab experience in singapore! Sorry i could go on forever! JAPAN SERIES 4 LIFE
That is so cool to hear David!! Japan is like no other place in the world- we both adore it too- we'd love to live there one day! This was a really tasty meal and pretty affordable really considering! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for the kind words and we’re so glad you’re enjoyed our videos! This meal was brilliant and so fun to film! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Hi Peter Rabbit, thanks so much for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed the video- it was such a fun one to film and eat! Hope you like our other Tokyo content mate. Cheers, Sheena
Thanks so much Killerqueen Johanna! We’re so glad you enjoyed this one. It was really neat to film and such a great price! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Incredible looking spread guys and washed down with a couple of beers....very nice. All the dishes looked so vibrant, especially the tuna - gorgeous colour. We are yet to try natto but would love to - we think we would like it if you say it is likened to a blue cheese 🙂
Perfect with a few beers! 😋 I reckon you two would be really into natto. It’s a super interesting taste and can be pretty strong. A strong blue cheese is the best thing to compare it to. We love it! Thanks so much for watching guys! Cheers, Thomas 😀
You can't beat a couple of nice beers!!🍺😉 Yes, we really wan't to try Nato, there was a Ramen restaurant in Warsaw that sold it when we were there last month but we didn't have time to go there. Heard it has a very interesting flavour😋
Very unusual in both texture and flavour! I love mixing it up and making it go all stringy 😝 Hope you guys had a brilliant time in Warsaw- looks like an amazing place! Cheers, Sheena
Hi Puri and Sue, what's for dinner?! 😍😝😋 Thanks for watching this one- hope you enjoyed it! It was such a great meal- we were stuffed by the end of it! Hope you like the rest of the Tokyo content we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
They were Brandon 😆 we scoffed those too. It was such a great izakaya- everything was so fresh and we were stuffed afterwards! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
haha love the description! Really glad you enjoyed this one. It was a neat meal. Tokyo sure is a great food city. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀
hi guys was on the old holidays in spain as u do so catching up on my favourite u tubers.Wow that sliced tuna looked incredible and the scallops looked delicious. looking forward to catch up on your next adventure.
Hi Elaine, oooooo Spain- brilliant!!! Whereabouts did you go? Bet you ate very well and had a fabulous time!! Thanks for watching this one- it was a great pub- good food and beer- the perfect evening! So glad you enjoyed this one mate. Cheers, Sheena
cambrills and yes as a 5ft nothing woman I ate a 6ft 10 man amount of food. Gym will struggle to get me back in shape. Has to be done lol. Thank u for reply guys.
Im going to have to take your word for it on this one. The presentation was beautiful and "eat with your eyes". I guess for quality seafood it was a good price, but it really looked like a whole lot of tasting plates more than a meal. I noticed that alot of the Restaurants you have eaten in this series it seems "communal dining" is the norm, is that just a logistical thing or the way Japanese eat? I could imagine it being difficult to film when in close proximity to fellow diners. 👍
Hi Brilliant But Blue, thanks for watching! Communal dining is quite common in Japan like in most Asian cultures but you’re right filming can be harder in Japan. Often it’s bar style eating and quite cramped quarters and having a camera in an environment like that can be so intrusive for other diners so we tend to steer clear of filming some of those meals (like ramen, sushi bars etc) 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Pretty good for the price isn’t it! It was neat being able to have all that seafood. Such a feast! Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀
So. Good. 😍 It was such a great izakaya Joey- very fun and rowdy and the food was great! Thanks for watching- hope you enjoyed this one ! Cheers, Sheena
So glad you enjoyed it Michael! That octopus and the nato was stand out. Hope you are enjoying the Tokyo series mate. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
You are both very economical with the soy when dipping ! I always have more than this, next time I will try my sushi your way, but did you ever see the locals use more soy?
😆😆😆😆 are we? I don’t remember noticing how much the locals were using- but will make sure to take note next time. I’m always watching people to see how they go about things when we’re travelling! This was a great feast. Thanks for watching and commenting Stephen! Cheers, Sheena
😝😝😝😝😝 thanks Dianne! So glad you enjoyed it! It was such a fun one to film and the restaurant had such a rowdy, fun atmosphere. Have a brilliant Wednesday and thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
Same Su-Ling!! 😄 it was such a great meal and the izakaya was so fun- it had a brilliant atmosphere! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
Hi Victor, thanks for watching and commenting! How brilliant! We always pop details of the restaurants we film at in the description so you can find it there. Hanamaru where we ate in our recent conveyor belt sushi restaurant video is well worth visiting too if you get a chance ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FA67ZM9eo3A.html Hope you enjoy our other Tokyo content and have a great time in Tokyo next month. Cheers, Sheena
Hi cheungdty, thanks for watching and commenting on this one- we hope you enjoyed it! This place has an English menu so you'll have no trouble 😄 Hope you enjoy the rest of our Tokyo series! Cheers, Sheena
Me too Meysha Pradella 😂😂😂😂 Fingers crossed it keeps growing 😄 Thanks for your support and we hope you enjoyed this one mate. It was such a delicious one to film. Big love back! Cheers, Sheena
Meysha Pradella, I totally agree. I think this channel is amazing. Great video work, great personality (both Sheena and Thomas) and great content. We need to market Chasing a Plate a little more may be? I'll try and recommend Chasing a Plate through comments section on other food channels and spread the word :)
Another great video! Sheena- Do you have a capsule wardrobe? I notice you mix and matcha. Lot of the same pieces. I bet it is easy for traveling! How much do you all carry with you as you travel? I would also love to see a convenience food video in Japan. I saw your one from last year and loved it!
Hi mate, thanks for watching and we’re so happy you are enjoying our content ☺️ yes- I just have to stick to basics with pieces that I can mix and match as we each live out of a suitcase and mine is already SO full 😝 we’ve left Japan now but hopefully we can get back there soon and film more content 😍 love convenience store food there! Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena
Hi Sean Lee, we always put the details of where we eat in our video descriptions so our viewers can visit themselves. Hope you enjoyed this video and the rest of our Japan series. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Oh dear Adzmar Nera! We hope you weren’t ill for long! Never fun! Osaka is great isn’t it! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Hi Millennial Travel Confessions! We love Mark's content. He's brilliant! Thanks very much for watching this one and we hope you enjoyed it. It was great having a seafood feast like this for such a good price in Tokyo! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Hi 1981cherokee1, thanks for watching- hope you enjoyed it! It’s not customary to tip in Japan and can be considered rude. High end restaurants may add a service charge though. Hope you like what we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
Sure is SaRah Kruch! They really know how to put food together. It’s a joy to film! The whole experience of eating in these local places is brilliant too! Loved it! Cheers, Thomas 😀
Champion! Thanks for watching Peck Cecilia- we're so glad you enjoyed it 😄 This izakaya had such an awesome atmosphere and the food was great- it was a fun video to film. Hope you like the content we have coming up! Cheers, Sheena
Yes l did Sheena! Been to TYO countless times but never to the one in the last vid and in this vid. Its always a joy to see the notification for a new upload from both of you!
😍😍😍😍😍😍 thank you Peck Cecilia! Oh lucky you- it's one of my favourite cities in the world! Gosh, there are so many hidden gems and I feel you could eat out every meal of the day for years and still not feel like you've scratched the surface! Can't wait to get back there soon! Hope you like the other Tokyo videos we have coming up 😄 Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena i’ve tried a lot in Japan this spring (the food is incredible!) but natto gives me nightmares. But, my last comment was a little ‘play on Words’ sheena tastes the uni and calls it UNI-que 3 times in a row. Haha! Keep on making this great content!
😂😂😂😂😂 omg I didn't even notice! Whereabouts did you visit in Japan? There is just such amazing food everywhere you turn right?! You really can't eat badly! Hope you like what we have coming up on the channel mate! Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena we have been to osaka for 1 week, 2 days in Kyoto and 8 days in Tokyo and i must say that osaka really blew us away! Definitely my favourite city in the world! Tokyo is soo big and doesnt have that ‘magical touch’ wich osaka has for me. So next year i’ll be back in osaka, no doubts about that! Oh and i even had the crazy chicken ramen where you Guys and mark wiens went! Cheers!
OMG that ramen changed my life 😍 I LOVED it so much! Hope you did too! What a brilliant trip! It's a pretty special feeling when you just fall in love with a place isn't it? Feeling a real affinity with a city other than your own home. I bet you'll have the best time when you return! Cheers, Sheena
Hi tone burgess, yes, most of it is raw except for the scallops and the crab. It's not disgusting at all- it was incredible! Do you eat much Japanese food? Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the other content on our channel. Cheers, Sheena
a little advice for you. i like your videos in japan. but you can really omit that part in 0:20 as its a well known fact and if you're gonna repeat it every video. its unnecessary and you can just dub it over a more exciting clip or something.
Hi JD Krasinki, thanks for watching and we’re glad you are enjoying our Japan series. We do the same sort of intro in order to set the scene as the majority of our viewers are new eyes- they’re either new to our channel or aren’t subscribers and therefore don’t follow our travels nor know who we are and what Chasing a Plate is about. This is why each video is filmed to a bit of a format. Hope you continue to enjoy our content. Cheers, Sheena
