As someone who is always excited to go to the supermarket when I'm travelling to see what's different, Japan's convenience stores look like an absolute dream. I could spend weeks in there wow
I traveled from Los Angeles to Tokyo this June, and from the moment I got off the plane and headed to the hotel, I had a feeling this place would be more suitable for living than Los Angeles. The short 10-day trip allowed me to experience how polite the citizens are and the service in the shops is also stunning. What also shocked me was the cost of living; especially in restaurants of the same level, the prices were half or even cheaper than half than in Los Angeles, plus without the 10% tax and tips. I still remember once when I left about 5 dollars as a tip after eating ramen, a young waitress chased me out to tell me that I had left some money on the table. I plan to live in Japan after I retire it's my dream country.
the best series ever, the production on these videos are so good! netflix is shaking
As a Japanese who have been watching your videos for over two years now, I’m so happy too see you enjoy all the food in convenience stores here! FYI, what you called agedashi tofu (dofu) is actually called atsuage, and what you called inari is called abura age. Both agedashi tofu and abura age are the same in that they are deep-fried tofu, the difference is abura age is thinner and fried longer. Agedashi tofu is the name of the dish as you explained; fried tofu with dashi broth or soy sauce. And inari or inari sushi is abura age simmered in kinda sweet broth and stuffed with vinegar rice. By the way your Japanese is actually really good and sounds so cute! Looking forward to your vlog next week!!
"There's always a Japanese person who is better than you" Sounds true
Doobs. i really miss ur simple old style vlogs like these, simple yet so quality, just giving Dooby + food. personally i prefer this style of classic , humorous videos than the other 48h or 100h food adventure ones. we want more Dooby being dooby content like this
So good Tina, loved it. This style of long form food documentary you have been doing recently has been truly beautiful. Loved every bit of your Vietnam and Philippines trip.
Hi! I am Japanese girl living in Tokyo. Thank you for visiting! Your Japanese is so good!! I give you surprising fact. For business week days still 50% of people eat at home or bring their home cooked bento…! For dinner most people cook at home. I saw this stats from yesterday news :)
Reading some comments that say they prefer the vlogs and I just want to say that I support your process, your evolution, and your health and happiness above all else, Tina!!! It’s interesting thinking that some of your greatest work may have been created during times when you felt at your lowest. It’s kind of beautiful 🥲 and beautiful that people (like me) related to you; you helped us feel a little more OK. As you continue to carve your own path, I just wanna say keep doing you. You resonate with so many people because you do things your way, believing in your unique style and vision. I hope you follow your joy, wherever it may take you! Even if that’s away from YouTube. I just send you best wishes! ❤ As my mom says, life is an unfolding 🌹
really loved the voiceover kind of video. I think you tackled it perfectly only saying the essential in the store, but left the completely necessary jokes for the voiceover
23:42 こういうタイプの動画では周りの人を少しも気にせず撮影する自己中な外国人YouTuberが非常に多いなか、日本人の感覚に合わせてくれる彼女の気遣いをとても嬉しく思いました。日本人としてありがとう、また来てくださいね😊
Personally, I really miss the old vlogs, I am not extremely interested in food, I am interested in Dooby
Conbini is literally a lifesaver for all of people in Japan. When you run out of daily necessities, or when you are outside and forgot to bring sth with you, there always be a conbini for you. And most of the time you can find one within 10mins walk in big cities.
really loving these recent vlogs!! love the way you immerse yourself in the culture and one of the best ways is through food!! so happy you’re enjoying this trip you’re on with kevin and your parents! 🎉❤
It means a lot to me as a Japanese that you came to Japan and introduced our food to the world. Thank you🤍
18:33 味噌(miso) I believe you got miso ramen and not curry ramen🍜
My friend worked at a Japanese convenience store for 3years, he almost exclusively ate the food there. He died at the age of 23, liver cancer.
I had that 7-11 Miso soup almost every morning. Highly underrated.
I was just in Japan a week ago. I already want to come back and watching this video (plus the fact that the Philippines is literally boiling from heat right now) intensified that feeling so much more. I have so many things I haven't tried despite eating off of konbinis for breakfast and midnight snacks for more than a week of being there.
