GenkJapan.Net: Kawara Soba Japanese Noodles - served on a roof tile!

[anbmjj]

That... looks... amazing!!! I needa hurry my ass up and go to Japan.

[funtoo2]

Hey, what restaurant were you at?

[GenkiJapanNet]

@funtoo2 Can't remember the name, it's in the Tenjin underground mall.

[HonestGamer1]

oishisou!

[killercat413]

Oh wow that looks really good <3 looks like alotta food

[sistersfromdk]

ohhh japanese food looks so delicious ! envious that you get to eat it! :'(

[ObscurelyNyappy]

Personally I thought it was nasty, >/////<.



[theallnaturalme]

That looks delicious! I wish Japanese restaurants here in the US were half as good (and reasonably priced!) as those in Japan. Buckwheat (Soba) noodles must not be popular with Americans because whenever I order it here, I get Angel Hair and believe me, I know the difference! haha. Glad you're eating well, Richard! Love the websites btw. :)

[Nemesis093781]

That looks very tasty. I am sure there is a story behind the roof tile idea.

[FranceHopper]

I can't decide which is more awesome, the meal or the fact that it's served on a roof tile. Either way, Epic Win.

[PandaLord74]

hmm looks interesting, maybe ill try it, if i can somehow get to japan... XD

[GenkiJapanNet]

@ArtaCrossingRainbows Sorry. Yeah, you can usually ask for a knife or fork.

[kyomasaki22]

These videos are awsome, It gives my mom new ideas on what to cook lol. Thanks for posting these and keep up the work!!

[ymeza2121]

I wonder how long it took for you to speak pretty fluently in japanese :D

[GenkiJapanNet]

@ymeza2121 It's all in my free book at Genki Japan . Net!

[MochiNyoki]

Looks yummy ~

Is the noodle made out of some type of vegetable or is it just colored green?

[GenkiJapanNet]

@MochiNyoki It's buckwheat, these ones are flavoured with green tea!

[Jaspercat91]

Would a typical Japanese family have this for lunch/dinner? I've just found out I'm going to Japan in 2 weeks (yay!) to stay with a family over there and I don't know what to expect food-wise.

[GenkiJapanNet]

@Jaspercat91 This particular dish you wouldn't have that often, but a lot of Japanese food is quite similar yeah.

[Chi101887]

@Jaspercat91 lucky, i wish i had family in Japan lol

[mistyaqua]

I love these videos!

[XiloveKoRnX]

This made me hungry for noodles... D:

I love your videos! Makes me get somewhat of a taste of what's really in Japan.

I hope to travel there one day. ^^

[nhanxzero]

dude ur so lucky you get to go places im always stuck at homw and working

[GenkiJapanNet]

@nhanxzero I'm still working!

[ArtaCrossingRainbows]

May I ask - In Japan, in restaurants or whatever eating places - do they give out forks/knifes too, so you can choose to eat with them or chopsticks? Or they give only chopsticks and they have no forks? :D

[GenkiJapanNet]

@ArtaCrossingRainbows Western style restaurants do have knives & forks and in Japanese style ones you could ask for them. But then again what would you think if someone asked for chopsticks in a US McDonalds???

[TokyoNerd]

Another good looking meal!

[TokyoNerd]

Another good looking meal!

[Oty3d]

Love to eat soba!

[MadHobbit]

[zjphftl]

Nice dinner~~

But I think I won't be full even i eat all of them...... ：P

[nelsonjr16]

you should make a video of you eating them so we know the order the food is generally eaten =P

[sweetfurx4]

very interesting dish!

[haruhitsugara]

Looks really nice! :D

[Theytoldmetodoit1]

I feel so hungry now.

[TSpancer80]

@Theytoldmetodoit1 hahaha exactly !!

[zeldaofarel]

The quality was pretty good in spite of only having your phone. So I think we would love to see more food vids even if you only have your phone with you. I especially enjoy the vids where you have shops. The displays are so pretty and everything is so interesting. I think about where I buy my own food... not that pretty.

[Anwarboy786]

wow, richard do people eat like that everyday in japan, or is that meal somewhate niche?

[GenkiJapanNet]

@Anwarboy786 It's not that posh, just a normal shopping arcade restaurant, about $9

[dondons1987]

mmmmmmm

[sonicnblaze33]

do the Japanese eat the shrimp whole with the shell or do you take it out by yourself?

[GenkiJapanNet]

@sonicnblaze33 You take it out! :)

[ShiraYuki619]

ソバ最高！！！

[Artemisth]

Great... Now I'm HUNGRY! :P

[mizeri4life108]

man, you have the coolest japanese videos ever!!!

[Myxale]

Love your food vids. Even more than sightseeing!

Keep it up!

[Bekll]

Oishii! I once had rice with chestnuts and sesame seeds in Japan. The chestnuts are a bit different that what we're used to here in the U.S., but they were still really good.

[EdXLover]

After watching this, I feel like making some ramen. xD

[AlchemistNeon]

@EdXLover lol me too :3
