00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.480
Hello this is Hiroshima Lunch

2
00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.280
We are now outside the city

3
00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:06.960
and at the Peace Memorial Park, near Atomic Bomb Dome

4
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:07.600
Yes, we are

5
00:00:07.600 --> 00:00:09.140
This is the urban area

6
00:00:09.141 --> 00:00:10.661
where Hiroshima's historical sites are all at

7
00:00:10.881 --> 00:00:13.000
We came here for some food

8
00:00:13.001 --> 00:00:15.504
(usual Hiroshima tram)

9
00:00:15.504 --> 00:00:17.899
It's in downtown Hiroshima

10
00:00:17.900 --> 00:00:19.400
where we just rode a tram

11
00:00:19.639 --> 00:00:21.660
There were some interesting things about it

12
00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:24.520
- First, there's a lot of people
- Right

13
00:00:24.520 --> 00:00:26.879
I wanted to shoot videos inside the tram too

14
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.160
but there were so many people

15
00:00:28.421 --> 00:00:29.361
I couldn't think of it

16
00:00:29.361 --> 00:00:30.000
(Crowded)

17
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:30.700
Secondly

18
00:00:30.895 --> 00:00:32.715
there were not much of price differences

19
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.939
Subway was about 2~300 yen

20
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.619
Tram was 220 yen

21
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:40.542
In Hong-kong the reason why people ride the tram is

22
00:00:40.542 --> 00:00:41.662
The biggest reason is

23
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:43.880
that it is much cheaper than the subway

24
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:45.219
and lastly

25
00:00:45.406 --> 00:00:47.406
the tram here was really fast

26
00:00:47.407 --> 00:00:47.919
Really fast

27
00:00:47.919 --> 00:00:49.259
It was like riding a roller coaster

28
00:00:49.259 --> 00:00:50.576
- It felt like it
- Yeah, totally

29
00:00:50.639 --> 00:00:52.879
It was so fast that I slightly felt dizzy

30
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:53.940
(Arrived)

31
00:00:53.940 --> 00:00:55.119
This place is small

32
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:56.529
there are a lot of people inside

33
00:00:56.529 --> 00:00:58.120
(waiting)

34
00:00:58.120 --> 00:00:59.639
I don't know if there are English menus

35
00:00:59.639 --> 00:01:00.461
but we can do it right?

36
00:01:00.461 --> 00:01:01.300
(sad)

37
00:01:01.300 --> 00:01:02.060
There is no English

38
00:01:02.060 --> 00:01:02.899
I think this is it

39
00:01:02.900 --> 00:01:04.479
Level 1 tantanmen

40
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:05.199
tantanmen

41
00:01:05.299 --> 00:01:06.461
Let's just press this

42
00:01:06.581 --> 00:01:08.040
there are people waiting behind us

43
00:01:08.420 --> 00:01:10.279
You can choose between sauce or no sauce

44
00:01:10.279 --> 00:01:11.999
Hey we ordered the one with sauce

45
00:01:11.999 --> 00:01:12.960
Did you want the one without sauce?

46
00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:13.465
Yes

47
00:01:13.465 --> 00:01:13.959
(???)

48
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:14.761
I don't know, guys

49
00:01:14.761 --> 00:01:15.332
I'll just eat it

50
00:01:15.333 --> 00:01:16.100
(Gives up)

51
00:01:16.100 --> 00:01:17.240
This is hard

52
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:18.259
The funny thing is

53
00:01:18.259 --> 00:01:20.400
Vending machines often don't have translations

54
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:21.900
We have a hard time every time we use one

55
00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:23.680
(Menu arrives)

56
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:24.319
(didn’t understand)

57
00:01:26.199 --> 00:01:26.940
wow

58
00:01:26.941 --> 00:01:29.101
It looks so tasty

59
00:01:29.101 --> 00:01:30.019
I can smell it, too

60
00:01:30.279 --> 00:01:31.140
It's going to be a bit spicy

61
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:33.420
It's something we would eat in Hong Kong..

62
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:35.201
It's similar to tantanmen

63
00:01:35.201 --> 00:01:36.979
It has the same red pepper oil

64
00:01:36.980 --> 00:01:37.720
and noodle

65
00:01:38.199 --> 00:01:39.473
There's even this

66
00:01:39.474 --> 00:01:41.174
I can see a lot of familiar things

67
00:01:41.174 --> 00:01:42.080
There's the vinegar that I'm used to

68
00:01:42.080 --> 00:01:43.680
This is also vinegar used a lot in Hong Kong

69
00:01:43.941 --> 00:01:44.781
Chinese vinegar

70
00:01:44.781 --> 00:01:46.640
This place is famous for tantanmen without soup

71
00:01:46.781 --> 00:01:47.320
Yeah

72
00:01:47.320 --> 00:01:48.699
That was actually started in Hiroshima

73
00:01:48.699 --> 00:01:49.183
Right

74
00:01:49.183 --> 00:01:51.104
When you come to Hiroshima

75
00:01:51.104 --> 00:01:53.144
One of the foods you should try is

76
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.800
This unique tantanmen started in Hiroshima

77
00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:56.386
Okay

78
00:01:56.387 --> 00:01:58.267
They tell you how to eat it

79
00:01:58.287 --> 00:01:58.879
(Including Korean description)

80
00:01:58.879 --> 00:01:59.360
First

81
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.020
It says to mix the soup about 20 times

82
00:02:02.020 --> 00:02:04.080
Let's taste it first

83
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:05.481
And if you want

84
00:02:05.481 --> 00:02:07.601
add vinegar or sauce

85
00:02:08.068 --> 00:02:09.128
then eat it

86
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:10.320
Let's try it first

87
00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:11.320
What I'm worried about right now is

88
00:02:11.320 --> 00:02:12.820
Japanese food isn't spicy

89
00:02:12.821 --> 00:02:13.800
I chose level 3 of spiciness

90
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.880
It looks spicy to me

91
00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:17.119
I ordered level 2

92
00:02:17.119 --> 00:02:18.200
Not again

93
00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:18.740
(regret)

94
00:02:18.741 --> 00:02:20.062
(direct to mouth)

95
00:02:20.062 --> 00:02:20.940
(humming)

96
00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:21.500
(humming2)

97
00:02:21.501 --> 00:02:22.040
wow

98
00:02:22.040 --> 00:02:22.979
-This is good
-So delicious

99
00:02:23.020 --> 00:02:24.061
It's surprising

100
00:02:24.061 --> 00:02:24.802
(???)

101
00:02:24.802 --> 00:02:26.462
It is not like a noodle that we can eat in Japan

102
00:02:26.462 --> 00:02:27.039
You're right

103
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:28.039
It's like Chinese

104
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:29.759
It has strong Chinese feels

105
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:31.240
Wait, level 3 is really spicy

106
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:32.300
From the notice back then,

107
00:02:32.301 --> 00:02:33.301
it said level 4

108
00:02:33.540 --> 00:02:34.880
would have a burning aftertaste

109
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:36.201
People who don't like spicy food

110
00:02:36.201 --> 00:02:37.360
shouldn't order the higher levels

111
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:38.480
Let me say this again

112
00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:40.660
even Shin Ramyun is spicy

113
00:02:40.661 --> 00:02:41.530
for the two of us

114
00:02:41.530 --> 00:02:42.799
and so level 3 is also spicy for us

115
00:02:43.119 --> 00:02:44.960
Probably Koreans will

116
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:46.560
easily have step 3

117
00:02:46.600 --> 00:02:47.339
The noodle is...

118
00:02:47.707 --> 00:02:49.387
so good of course,

119
00:02:49.559 --> 00:02:51.240
there's no need to elaborate

120
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:52.267
The sauce is

121
00:02:52.267 --> 00:02:54.499
like the one we often eat in Hongkong

122
00:02:54.499 --> 00:02:56.640
vinegar sauce for mixed noodles

123
00:02:56.880 --> 00:02:57.880
Quite surprising

124
00:02:57.880 --> 00:02:59.200
If you're going to try level 3

125
00:02:59.201 --> 00:03:00.114
adding some vinegar

126
00:03:00.114 --> 00:03:01.401
can make it less spicy

127
00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:03.479
If bland, add some soy sauce

128
00:03:03.619 --> 00:03:05.235
Why should we put vinegar?

129
00:03:05.395 --> 00:03:06.115
I'm so curious

130
00:03:06.116 --> 00:03:06.799
(Satified)

131
00:03:06.799 --> 00:03:07.859
Um, it's so much better with vinegar

132
00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:08.539
It feels like

133
00:03:08.539 --> 00:03:10.359
the spiciness has gone away a little bit

134
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:10.919
with vinegar

135
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:11.447
Wait

136
00:03:11.448 --> 00:03:12.019
(???)

137
00:03:12.019 --> 00:03:14.379
Now that I added vinegar, it tastes Japanese

138
00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:15.000
(Transformed)

139
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:16.381
It's Chinese without vinegar

140
00:03:16.381 --> 00:03:17.601
and Japanese with vinegar

141
00:03:17.601 --> 00:03:18.660
By the way, if you look at the ingredients

142
00:03:18.660 --> 00:03:19.699
everything you might find is there

143
00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:20.819
like spring onion,

144
00:03:20.820 --> 00:03:22.420
minced pork,

145
00:03:22.679 --> 00:03:23.779
and the sauce is also the one we know

146
00:03:23.780 --> 00:03:25.260
the deep peanut-tasting kind

147
00:03:25.260 --> 00:03:26.259
I personally like

148
00:03:26.497 --> 00:03:28.277
that just when everything started to taste too oily

149
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:29.660
we got to eat this kind of

150
00:03:29.661 --> 00:03:30.901
Chinese food

151
00:03:30.901 --> 00:03:32.119
I think the cheesiness has eased a bit, I love that

152
00:03:32.119 --> 00:03:34.061
You can't ignore my time living in Hong Kong

153
00:03:34.061 --> 00:03:34.651
(Nationality Laundering)

154
00:03:34.651 --> 00:03:35.300
You can also

155
00:03:35.300 --> 00:03:37.359
add... add egg in here

156
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:38.919
and mix with rice as well

157
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:39.539
That's right

158
00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:40.461
I think it's a good idea

159
00:03:40.461 --> 00:03:42.302
to add this in here

160
00:03:42.302 --> 00:03:43.380
(Adding egg)

161
00:03:43.380 --> 00:03:44.600
This is now completely Japanese

162
00:03:44.600 --> 00:03:45.360
(Second transformation)

163
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.199
It's become Japanese food from Chinese food

164
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:49.199
Yeah, because Chinese dandanmien

165
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:51.479
doesn't have egg in it

166
00:03:51.480 --> 00:03:52.780
(Tasting)

167
00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:53.759
It's not spicy anymore

168
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.520
I think that's because

169
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.168
you're eating mine right now

170
00:03:57.168 --> 00:03:57.661
Right

171
00:03:57.661 --> 00:03:58.159
That one's second-level spiciness

172
00:03:58.159 --> 00:03:58.660
Right

173
00:03:58.661 --> 00:04:00.261
The egg should've gone in mine, actually

174
00:04:00.340 --> 00:04:01.540
not yours

175
00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:02.520
It's not spicy at all

176
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:04.279
I'll try the third-level one now

177
00:04:04.279 --> 00:04:05.000
It's going to be spicy

178
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:06.379
about the same as Shin ramyeon?

179
00:04:06.379 --> 00:04:06.866
Yeah

180
00:04:06.866 --> 00:04:07.746
(Glancing)

181
00:04:07.766 --> 00:04:08.720
I want pickled radish to go with this

182
00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:09.274
Same

183
00:04:09.275 --> 00:04:10.059
But there isn't any

184
00:04:10.179 --> 00:04:12.880
There's no side dish at all

185
00:04:12.880 --> 00:04:14.461
This place must be a real foodie spot

186
00:04:14.461 --> 00:04:15.741
the waiting line is still there

187
00:04:15.741 --> 00:04:17.220
And they're all Japanese locals

188
00:04:17.380 --> 00:04:19.040
Maybe office workers come here for lunch often

189
00:04:19.041 --> 00:04:19.600
Right, right

190
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.920
It's my first time trying soup-less Dandanmian

191
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:23.160
and it has its own charm

192
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:23.920
Right

193
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.299
If you ever visit Hiroshima

194
00:04:25.300 --> 00:04:26.600
you need to come here for the noodle

195
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:27.880
We always notice this

196
00:04:28.320 --> 00:04:31.200
but Japanese people eat super fast

197
00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:33.400
And there's a lot of people who dine here alone

198
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:34.920
so they just leave right away

199
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:36.519
Two people have come and gone next to us already

200
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:37.720
while we were eating this

201
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.359
It's only been 20 minutes

202
00:04:40.359 --> 00:04:42.260
By the way, I saw the people next to us

203
00:04:42.640 --> 00:04:44.960
They all order rice along with the noodles

204
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:46.360
They always order an egg, too

205
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.119
I guess it's the standard to add eggs

206
00:04:48.119 --> 00:04:50.159
And mix it with rice at the end

207
00:04:50.159 --> 00:04:50.799
(Hesitating)

208
00:04:50.799 --> 00:04:51.400
Well...

209
00:04:51.400 --> 00:04:52.720
Isn't that too much food?

210
00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:54.459
If you're going to Hiroshima

211
00:04:54.459 --> 00:04:55.400
I think it's worth it to try the tantanmen

212
00:04:55.400 --> 00:04:56.519
Right, that's really true

213
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.699
Tantan noodles without soup are especially unique

214
00:04:58.899 --> 00:05:00.340
So since if you keep eating Japanese food and ramen

215
00:05:00.341 --> 00:05:01.721
you might get tired of it

216
00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:02.079
That's right

217
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.599
I think it's a good idea to come over here once

218
00:05:03.599 --> 00:05:05.293
to cleanse your palate

219
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:07.639
(KRW 13,435)
We just paid 1,440 yen

220
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:09.640
so that was a very cheap lunch

221
00:05:09.640 --> 00:05:11.421
Right, it was cheaper

222
00:05:11.421 --> 00:05:12.700
compared to other ramen restaurants

223
00:05:12.700 --> 00:05:13.959
In search of a more delicious restaurant

224
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.399
we will continue our trip in Hiroshima

225
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:17.480
Bye bye

226
00:05:18.797 --> 00:05:32.189
