alright guys it is time for another lunch video and today we have come all
the way to Shinjuku not very far because this is our hood and we've decided to
have something called sushi yaki which are basically skewers and it's gonna be
a mix of meat skewers but also vegetable skewers and we found a restaurant called
coup Shia where you get 90 minutes you pay a set fee and it's all-you-can-eat
so if that is our plan for lunch today
we're inside the restaurant we've just sat down our 90 minutes have
started ticking and they've just given us like some instructions on how
everything works so let's actually read through this so
no leftovers only grab what you're planning on eating typical of a lot
about face yeah especially sushi buffets also don't put more than five sticks in
the box so here in the the oil a little more basically gonna be frying our own
food at the table no Cheers our toasts over the fryer bring your hands
don't let anything other than skewers into the fryer cellphone yeah blah blah
pretty common sense to be honest and yeah it also shows you how you're gonna
dip each of your sticks and like this batter then roll it around and these
like crumbs I suppose and then you can cook it and it also tells you how long
you need to cook each item because depending on what you're having and me
me amend it in half and you see a couple examples let's see so for example
eggplant is one minute beef two to three minutes right the meat would be longer
we're definitely getting company and cheese yeah me and yeah there's like a
huge spread they almost haven't set it up kind of like a buffet yeah so you
grab a plate you grab all this here as you want and then you bring it back to
the table first Japanese buffet so this is the
batter and these are the breadcrumbs all right so it is time to start cooking
what can you tell us well I can tell you I've got a chicken skewer in my hand
okay apparently how you're supposed to do it is you're gonna put it in the
batter here yeah cover it like that I think look make sure I got lost
yeah someone just dropped a glass I'm gonna cook that well mmm that looks nice
it's not look coated enough yeah okay and in a go then it goes time to sizzle
oh yeah we just drop it in there basically drop it like it's hot and it
is
okay so he believes the chicken is ready to be enjoyed take a look at that really
different from when I first went then
over one each sorry oh you're not gonna bite into it right now are you that just
came out of the fries sure I should let it cool time for the chicken skewer it
looks like it looks like we cooked it perfectly like it's golden to perfection
on now what's appears to be crispy
oh so you get the crunchiness of the breadcrumbs which is really cool and
then the chicken is really tender and silently it's a nice contrast between
the two different elements sounds good good start so ready for the next round I
cooked up some more veggies I have pumpkin
lotus root and oh this is a real potato okay and I also went and I got some
sauce because like this is really tasty on its own but I feel like it is so much
better oh yeah we got there you got a dunk it
into sauces yeah so this is a spicy sauce yeah see which one is to see which
one you like more
oh do you what I went wrong there for starters the potato was not cooked I
think we need to be cooking our potatoes way longer it says for potatoes it
should be three minutes I did not feel three minutes Wow this sauce is
something else it's like sweet yeah sour and spicy all rolled into one
oh and I feel like you need to like barely dip it just get a hint of the
flavor but that was just like so dip not dunk dunk in this okay so I think I'll
try the pumpkin yeah I'm dip it in this creamy sauce it said
it was cheese sauce lotion Elizabeth II I hope I got the right one
look good like a cheesy branch oh it's got a bit of Tang a bit of kick to it
Wow don't cook the pumpkins way longer yeah well we'll learn from that mistake
actually it says right here that the pumpkin sweet potatoes and 15 minutes
are 350 really a half minutes do you think I cook the Lotus great enough
we're gonna find out if I know it says does it even listing I don't know let's
just find out oh yeah two to three minutes I'm hoping I approached the
two-minute mark
Oh no hard yeah okay we'll learn from our
mistakes definitely but I feel like this is all personal preference because for
example with pasta it's like do you like yours well-done or al dente like in
berries for everyone so some people may like crunchy vegetables and crunchy
roots I just personally like them a bit more cooked but there is more to be
eaten so let's go back to the buffet table
while Sam has a smile and his faith you know I can only mean one thing the food
is out of the fry it is ready and we actually put the sauces in the right
compartment oh my gosh yeah I grabbed yeah it's hilarious I feel like we're
doing all the funny rookie mistakes ball so I'm gonna put it in that sweet sauce
yeah that's that wood mimics how it's kind of sold on the streets yeah we had
that a lot in Osaka and it's basically a dough ball stuff we've done talked
earlier about the contrast of outer layer versus the inner yes the
crunchiest one I've had yeah outer layer and then it gets dewy and gooey in the
middle now looks good this sauce really adds a
kick like you said it's kind of got like a very vinegary and it's a bit spicy and
sweet - yeah yeah that's really good a widow Duncan enforce a warrant mmm yeah
these are piping hot fresh out of the fryer I believe as much birdy dunked it
in some sauce
all right this would be interesting oh wow it looks chewy it was a bit Syria
than I expected so crunchy on the outside leg everything benefit chewy and
then a little bit gooey cheesy in the middle yeah so yeah that's an
interesting one I think so far my favorite one is when the takoyaki I'm
definitely in get more of those all right and I just come back to the
table with a few more skewers so I'm gonna start working on these so let's
see I got some squid
pretty small piece there stick it in we got some zucchini
you know it's nice putting in and then click bikini because it makes it taste
so much better than it would be in its raw form it cooks it gets kind of juicy
Wow it's a quarter little baby corn mix that around in there we also have a
cheese donut the Illusive cheese donut but we had earlier it was actually a
fish cake with cheese and sides okay but a donut we got that wrong nice just
getting rid of all these skewers we're really starting to accumulate quite a
few all right so I'm going to be starting off this next round with baby
corn and it look appears that there's only as much of batter on here and the
crispness on the outside as there is the actual David corn so this one should be
interesting I'm anticipating a crunchy bite
yep I'm definitely right everyone doesn't have a ton of flavor to be
around no you know blamin River the little boy there's a bit too much batter
so yeah that was a that one's a little bit of a Miss I'm believing gonna finish
it okay moving on so we've got the okra and the pepper and it's hard to say
which is which at the moment again there they look very similar after they've
been cooked that one I think you're holding the pepper right now yes yeah
you got the kick there the cook and the juiciness you know it is quite it get
let's try the okra
completely different flavors mom again the okra Lucy they don't slimy yeah
texture is a bit more climbing um most place whatsoever and then over here I
can't remember what this one is that was swing no squid this is a tiny
little thing my own baby buddy oh yeah that's good
this is one of my favorites I could easily have a whole bunch of those and
there's squid for the win what do we got going on here
well we've just pulled the the cheese donor out of fryer so I'm poking some
holes yeah let some kind of in there cool it's gonna be piping hot okay
what's the other one that you have and this other one is zucchini so I'm gonna
dip it in this sauce this mystery sauce they have so many mystery sauces here so
hopefully it goes Wallach zucchini yeah
if you like that sauce is meant for fish though okay it has a flavor that doesn't
really compliment the zucchini so not for veggies then but the zucchini is
good I also have to see my eyes are like burning right now I don't know if it's
for like the oil having the fryer here in front of me but I feel like oh yeah I
think we're gonna need to walk away from that fryer pretty thin now I'm gonna try
this cheese Dona be careful that one
oh it's don't we know cheese's I'm yeah mostly Joey I don't receive all right
into it and have strings of cheese yeah it's a little disappointing I have to
say it's okay it's just yeah it's just fried dough I don't per haps a slight
hint of cheese so next up ice cream this is gonna be our dessert I've never done
this before
there you go Sam I have to serve my first ice cream it is not perfect
going so here is the tower of the matcha fondue and we've got little donut bites
marshmallows more donut bites so we're gonna bring some of this to the table
alright let's try this ice cream cone and time is ticking we've got maybe 15
20 minutes left yeah I don't think that oh this is more
refreshing than it is for me yeah it's really tasty it's just like the kind of
thing that you would pick up on the street Osias oh yeah it's be food ice
cream it's tasty in vanilla last dessert yeah this is actually one
of the things that juris into this dress don't we saw that fountain of matcha it
looks so cool I think we've got just basically got fried donuts and
marshmallow so I'm gonna try all three of them carefully all right
he goes wasn't expecting that at all hey crane move on to the next one oh I'm
really tasting the matcha flavor too at this point hmm okay that's a solid
doughnut it's really thick actually okay and the bit foam gives you what you into
it I like the first one better cream puffs and last but not least I don't
want to look this one I love marshmallow so
let's try them I could eat a few more of those but all right well know that you
are you kids some for myself there you go
all right guys I feel like that was a mad dash at the end because we really
wanted to get dessert and the clock was ticking like it just takes a lot longer
to eat when you're filming so I feel like we had half the time maybe like 45
minutes instead of 90 minutes so like actually eat so yeah it was fun and
let's do price point now so the cost per person was 1620 yen for a 90-minute
window to eat as much as you can yeah and that's without drinks but with free
coffee and free ice cream yes and then it was an extra 200 yen if he wanted
sodas or stuff like that so the total men was three thousand two hundred and
forty which is 29 US dollars Wow so less than 15 per person yeah honestly for a
buffet where you can eat as much as you can I mean like that's pretty good yeah
even though it's not like your traditional favor you're just like
yelling it onto your plate you're cooking it you know what we didn't do
there were like three salads and side dishes yeah that we didn't even touch
because we were just having fun like cooking our owns
but if you want it they do have side dishes you can enjoy as well yeah it was
a lot of food I'm actually leaving pretty Stockton too even though it was
just like little bite yeah it was quite filling I think that's probably the oil
the oil the oil and the ice cream sitting in their valleys right now yeah
just a lot of fried food really even if it was healthy after you fry it like
you're getting all of that grease of the batter but yeah it was a good meal if
you guys want to try Kushi got you do it here in Tokyo and yeah the next video
