  1. I am about 14 minutes in and LOVING the video so far! Japan is on the top of my bucket list :). I am so happy you got sandos for a snack on the shinkansen! All I see are vids of people getting bento boxes and they all say they are terrible (save for a few special ones).

  2. OMG the holiday sweater from the Nintendo shop!!!!! NEEEDDDD!!!!!!!!!!! I would have lost every marble I have (not to mention allll the money) between Nintendo and Pokemon 😂

  3. the nintendo osaka store seems a lot less packed then the tokyo one. They didnt have the iconic nintendo shirt available when we were there.

  4. Oh man Soul Caliber was such an awesome game! Looks like an amazing time and another great video. Can’t wait for the next one!

  5. Love the video as usual! Have you watched any Japan YouTubers before? Maybe TabiEats or Only in Japan? I watch many of them.

  6. Thank you so much for showcasing all of the other AMAZING foods in Japan. Most tourists also stay away from things like unagidon because they’re put off by the idea of eel. Takoyaki and okonomiyaki are my favourite foods, and I 100% agree — why aren’t these foods in North America?! I’ve learnt to make okonomiyaki at home because I missed it so much.

    Also, Abed you nailed it on the head for what makes Japan so special: modernity and tradition are able to coexist in harmony. I love that you can go from Shibuya Scramble to a quiet shrine in 10 minutes.

  7. Great video guys! All the food looks so good! Paul and I love okonomiyaki and takoyaki! We would love to try them in Osaka!

    Also… you totally have him interested in the milk flavored soft serve.
