Trip to Kyoto - Part Two: Pickle Restaurant

[beachfeet1000]

You can really tell that Emily looks up to her mom a lot and respects her.

[YoutuJ3eJ3lows]

Just goes to show that almost any vegetable can be pickled to tasty sour heaven.

[xfaithfaith]

Oh man ,japan is such a lovely place. i cant stop praising it ! and thanks a million by letting us into your life in japan !



[dakoata121212]

what do you call that kind of ocha brewing cup with the lid that acts as a strainer? i would love to buy one!

[MrJaxyagi]

@dakoata121212 That tea cup with lid/cover which works to straining tea leaves is called in Japan as "HO-HEI" but rather very rare to see. Well, it's in Kyoto, they would use such a good interesting item. You may find a few kinds/sizes HO-HEI at the ceramic/china/tea shops, Japan, but rare. Chinese store in other countries who carry ceramics might have them but not like the one in the video. I'd like to have the one in the video, but possible made for that restaurant.

Can't wait to go to Kyoto next year.

[misslilevee]

I love umeboshi too. When i was younger, my brother tricked me and i popped the whole thing into my mouth. So sour and salty at the same time. Now i know better. My grandmother was born in kyushuu.

[HAMMERxHCA]

Is that buffet type salad bar common in japan? I wonder if it was something they started doing post-war era

[wabdatl]

I really enjoyed your video and the labeling of the foods. Thanks so much.

[kirari18]

my favorite is porridge with daikon n umeboshi

一番最初の白い漬物は大根じゃなくて、かぶの千枚漬けだよ。

京都のかぶの千枚漬けは有名。

[Misstokorian]

I lived in Kyoto, but I didn't know that restaurant... how interesting! awww I wanna go back to Japan, my hometown! thank you for this movie:)

[nghsrae14]

I can't wait to go to Japan, I'm currently studying Japanese language and writing. I have a question about the tofu though. How was it made, I looked at it and thought it was a cake, lol I guess that's just the American in me. I'm glad your wife said the meal was delicious because everything looked good.

[ILPICCOLO55]

お父さんも漬物で白米食べながらうどんとか完全な日本人ですな

[NovaDunn]

@softypapa - This place looks awesome. My husband and I will be visiting Kyoto at the end of November. Would love to have lunch there. Would you mind letting us know the name of the restaurant and the location please? I will try to mark it on my google map. Thanks for posting the video. :)

[Joana2400]

[newgreatyear]

wow. And the backs of their necks are gorgeous. The skin coloring in Japan magic light.

[martiniforlunch92]

@newgreatyear bit creepy.

[metube555]

i love fermented food. this type of food is full of macrobiotics and help the digestive system. you so lucky, softypapa

[softypapa]

@metube555 Thank you for sharing this important inforamtion about the importance of such traditional foods. I just came back from my wife`s uncle`s house where they served us several plates of home-made pickles as well as fresh picked and prepared bamboo shoots. I will enjoy such foods even more in the future thanks to your information. -Kurt :-)

[APIC4PINY4L3G]

@softypapa ok so softy papa im allegic to seafood and if i were to live in japan what would be a good substitute for it :D and also how soft are you exactly??

[softypapa]

@APIC4PINY4L3G Japan might indeed be a bit of a tough place if you are allergic to seafood. However, I think that you will be able to get by alright as long as you check the ingredient of the things you eat (seafood seems to make its way into so many products). As for my current level of softness it all depends on how cute my kid is when she is asking me to buy her ice cream. I am, after all, forever her softypapa. ~Kurt :-)

[maximefcom]

wow, that would be the best day of my life !!

[softypapa]

@maximefcom I hope that you can have a chance to visit this interesting restaurant some day. -Kurt :-)

[bloodymissb]

Oh my, now I am terribly hungry and want to go out for Japanese. :P

[umebroshi]

mmm umeboshi. my favorite too :)

[allgoo19]

I wish I had that much selection of pickles. I can find only one or two kind online.

[moribana]

Thanks for the beautiful vids. I love Kyoto but it is too expansive to stay there fore longer holidays. It is wonderful to follow the girls down the streets in Kyoto. Thanks once again. Please post more pretty vids like these!

[ColoradoSamurai]

Pickled Plums. It doesnt sound pleasant, but knowing me ill eat it lol

[MicknFumi]

Cool vids mate, enjoying this series : )

[FeileCase]

Good Thing to LEARN about the Tea Prepparation & pouring from such containers... so If I ever expierience this I can be in the Know. :) Though I know it's expensive, I can't wait to come to Kyoto some day, go to some nice Baths & later Hire a few Geisha for some fun Enertainment :)

[Claycat4]

That looks so yummy!  I like how everything is served on pottery!

[BusanKevin]

funny thing is, I never liked eating pickles in Canada, but I just love eating them here! I really like the variety of Japanese pickles.

[softypapa]

It seems that pickles in Japan are in a whole other league compared to the big, sweet or sour cucumbers I enjoyed growing up in NA. Japanese pickles add a certain something to food here which does not seem to quite have an equal counterpart back home. Do folks in Korea enjoy many different types of pickles besides kimchi (can this be called a pickle?)?

[Nhan01]

@softypapa yeah if I remembered correctly kimchi is pickled cabbage. I've been to south korea and sadly it turned me away from kimchi because it came with nearly every meal.

Sorry but you might feel the same way after trying out kimchi chocolate :-J

[Luminasita]

Such colorful cuisine, I bet it was tasty! I'm so glad Yumiko was nice enough to name what a lot of it was, I wasn't sure. Thank you soooo much for posting, Kurt!

As always, they are simply adorable in those beautiful kimono and cute hair!

~Kat

[kidzero22]

i notice japanesse have a habbit of healthier food then americans. they seem to anjoy fruits and veggies. where here we just meat a lot. lol

[kidzero22]

do you ever have the habbit of getting hamburger and fries?

[gtpluvr]

Loved both Kyoto videos! Sorry Kurt,I spoke too soon about your trip to Kyoto! How long was your trip from Shizuoka to Kyoto? Did you guys take the Shinkansen?

[softypapa]

Hello gtpluvr, Thank you for watching these videos and leaving your comments. The drive from Shizuoka to Kyoto took roughly 4.5 hours. It was a long haul but we had a fun time. -Kurt :-)

[BlueMew]

I wish I knew what all of those were :/

[Th33k]

Thank you for uploading another part. :)
