This is Kobe Lunch

00:00:04.676 --> 00:00:06.076
Every time we come to Japan

00:00:06.076 --> 00:00:07.126
we always eat sushi

6
00:00:07.126 --> 00:00:07.776
Yes, that's right

7
00:00:07.776 --> 00:00:09.077
Even today, coming to Kobe

8
00:00:09.077 --> 00:00:10.327
it's been a little while

Yeah, right

It's the third day

12
00:00:14.178 --> 00:00:15.928
There were so many delicious things

13
00:00:15.928 --> 00:00:17.478
- but finally, it’s time for sushi!
- That's right

14
00:00:17.478 --> 00:00:19.379
But every time I eat sushi

15
00:00:19.379 --> 00:00:20.729
Sushi in Japan

16
00:00:20.729 --> 00:00:22.279
always feels like a guaranteed win taste-wise

17
00:00:22.279 --> 00:00:23.829
Yes, really wherever we go

18
00:00:23.829 --> 00:00:25.130
- it was really delicious 
- That's right

19
00:00:25.130 --> 00:00:26.580
That’s why we're

20
00:00:26.580 --> 00:00:28.330
really looking forward to this meal today!

21
00:00:28.330 --> 00:00:29.580
We looked up

22
00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:31.031
quite a few great spots

23
00:00:31.031 --> 00:00:32.981
and they all happened to be in the Sannomiya area

24
00:00:32.981 --> 00:00:34.331
Yeah, since here is the main area

25
00:00:34.331 --> 00:00:35.381
it makes sense

The menu is simple

35
00:00:50.434 --> 00:00:52.184
- There are three types 
- This is a lunch set

36
00:00:52.184 --> 00:00:53.335
Or otherwise

37
00:00:53.335 --> 00:00:54.735
You can order a la carte

38
00:00:54.735 --> 00:00:56.985
They must know we are Korean

39
00:00:56.985 --> 00:00:59.036
- So they gave us a Korean menu right away 
- Indeed

40
00:00:59.036 --> 00:01:00.386
Fortunately, the language is well-supported

41
00:01:00.386 --> 00:01:01.836
It's okay because there are pictures here

42
00:01:01.836 --> 00:01:03.286
Let's order one of this B

43
00:01:03.286 --> 00:01:04.987

Mine has 12 pieces

48
00:01:13.038 --> 00:01:14.538
and I ordered set B

49
00:01:14.538 --> 00:01:16.139
There is tuna here

50
00:01:16.139 --> 00:01:17.589
And there is fatty toro

51
00:01:17.589 --> 00:01:19.589
There are various kinds of fish and shrimp

00:01:19.589 --> 00:01:21.940
With these 12 pieces

53
00:01:21.940 --> 00:01:23.840

It's a different set

57
00:01:28.491 --> 00:01:30.341
but here are only 10 pieces

58

This is, for the first time in my life

62
00:01:35.792 --> 00:01:37.792
I feel the food is bigger than the picture

63
00:01:38.643 --> 00:01:39.643
Has there been such a case?

64
00:01:39.643 --> 00:01:41.493
Usually, the picture looks more delicious

65
00:01:41.493 --> 00:01:43.494

One slightly

67
00:01:44.844 --> 00:01:46.694
disappointing point is

68
00:01:46.694 --> 00:01:47.795
you can't choose the kind

69
00:01:47.795 --> 00:01:48.895
- If you eat the set 
- Right

70
00:01:48.895 --> 00:01:49.945
But if you eat a la carte

71
00:01:49.945 --> 00:01:51.295
you can obviously choose

72
00:01:51.295 --> 00:01:52.895
but the only thing you can choose here is

73
00:01:52.895 --> 00:01:54.995
- whether to include wasabi or not 
- Right

74
00:01:54.995 --> 00:01:56.296

- Yeah

00:01:57.996 --> 00:01:59.846
the sushi we tried in Hong Kong

78
00:01:59.846 --> 00:02:00.597
seems to be fake

79
00:02:00.597 --> 00:02:01.947
First of all, the size is

80
00:02:01.947 --> 00:02:03.197
so overwhelming

81
00:02:04.397 --> 00:02:06.048
Was sushi originally this big?

82
00:02:06.048 --> 00:02:07.698
First, I have to eat the ones I know

83
00:02:07.698 --> 00:02:09.748

The portion is quite large

89
00:02:16.650 --> 00:02:18.100
And I understand why people come alone

00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:21.201

and it's really delicious

96
00:02:26.001 --> 00:02:27.501

- the best bang for your buck!
- Right

100
00:02:30.852 --> 00:02:31.702
Every time I eat this

101

- Everything is really delicious
- I know

103
00:02:34.603 --> 00:02:35.753
Another thing is

104
00:02:35.753 --> 00:02:37.503
I think the rice is also delicious

105
00:02:37.904 --> 00:02:40.054
The rice is very chewy

106
00:02:40.054 --> 00:02:41.204
and well-seasoned

107
00:02:41.204 --> 00:02:42.504
so it goes well with the fish

108
00:02:42.504 --> 00:02:43.455
Except for us

109
00:02:43.455 --> 00:02:45.005
there are no foreigners

110
00:02:45.005 --> 00:02:46.955
- Right 
- They are all really Japanese people

who live in this area

112
00:02:48.956 --> 00:02:51.056
It's a place where local Japanese people come

113
00:02:51.056 --> 00:02:52.656
That's why I think one of the advantages

114
00:02:52.656 --> 00:02:54.306
of traveling to Kobe is that

115
00:02:54.607 --> 00:02:55.707
When you go to Osaka or Tokyo

116
00:02:55.707 --> 00:02:57.907
- there are too many foreign tourists 
- Yes

117
00:02:57.907 --> 00:02:59.007
No matter which restaurant you go to, those people

118
00:02:59.007 --> 00:03:00.458
are really mostly there

119
00:03:00.458 --> 00:03:01.708
But if you go to a famous restaurant in Kobe

120
00:03:01.708 --> 00:03:03.258
they're all really local people

121
00:03:03.258 --> 00:03:04.758
It's hard to see tourists

122
00:03:04.758 --> 00:03:05.659
That's really nice

123
00:03:05.659 --> 00:03:07.459
I don't know what this is

124
00:03:07.459 --> 00:03:09.359
Maybe some kind of cutlassfish

125
00:03:09.359 --> 00:03:10.459
So everyone

126
00:03:10.459 --> 00:03:12.009
you must order something else

127
00:03:12.460 --> 00:03:14.860
so you can exchange it, everyone

128
00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:16.561
This sushi we just received

129
00:03:16.811 --> 00:03:18.911
has a perilla leaf inside

130
00:03:18.911 --> 00:03:19.761

It's not perilla leaf but shiso

- Japanese perilla leaf

133

So the smell

134
00:03:24.162 --> 00:03:25.812
completely gets rid of the fishy taste

135
00:03:25.812 --> 00:03:27.563
- It has a bit of a mint scent, right? 
- Right

136
00:03:27.563 --> 00:03:28.613

Oh, slightly

Is it just my feeling?

00:03:34.464 --> 00:03:35.364
The wasabi you eat in Japan

143
00:03:35.364 --> 00:03:36.714
seems to be a bit spicier

144
00:03:36.714 --> 00:03:37.564
If you look at the soy sauce

145
00:03:37.564 --> 00:03:39.414
it's slightly salty

146
00:03:39.414 --> 00:03:41.215
and has a bit of sweetness at the end

147
00:03:41.465 --> 00:03:42.765
So with the wasabi

148
00:03:42.765 --> 00:03:43.916
when you eat it with sushi

149
00:03:43.916 --> 00:03:45.066
