In this video we're exploring more Japanese gourmet home delivery food spots
So in the last video we explored all these different gourmet food spots, all throughout Japan and I had so much fun.
Trying it out and introducing it to you. I wanted to do another video and luckily all throughout Japan.
There's many phenomenal restaurants that deliver directly to my door
Which makes staying home that much easier something to note though
This in Japanese is called otoriyose, which means gourmet home delivery. It's not that combini food. It's food
That's high-quality
And it comes at a little bit of a higher price tag
Which is almost like getting caviar delivered to your front door
so before we start if you wanna help support the channel check out to hold my miso merch if you want to see what I'm
Doing on the daily check out my Instagram account. And if you have any questions about Japan check out my discord community
So without further adieu bring on the gourmet goodies
Number one me katsu and tomorrow Sandow from Roman
I didn't have to travel so far because we're staying in Tokyo in Hachioji
So today we're trying the new katsu Sando and at tamago Sandow
so this place is a jazz bar in cafe in hachioji, and it's been around since
1957 and supposedly they make some bomb-ass
Katsu sandwiches as well as egg sandwiches. So first of all, let's open this nakatsu-san dough
So it's funny in Japanese. People say Sando instead of a sandwich cheese
So check out all these layers you can see how thick it is compared to my hand
That is so thick the first thing you notice is how many layers of pork slices you have to go through
It's like a milky sandwich. There's actually loads of fatty pieces in here to just give it just a little bit extra flavor. Damn!
Hmm
That is amazing
It's the way they actually cook it is a take it out of the fryer then they put it into a pan and they cook
It with some sauce with like a so you base and it is delicious the flavorings. It's not too sweet. It's not too salty
It's just like right in the middle
it really accentuates just the meat itself and how its kind of like, um
Probably some mayonnaise in there who doesn't love mayonnaise mayonnaise
Me and white bread with a crust cut off can't get better than that
And so this is the next
sandwich and see it's kind of like mochi mochi and then you just kind of like squishy this egg is oh
That is a straight-up egg, that's a flavorful heck
It's very much like a souffle like egg, you know
I was expecting maybe a thick dense egg because it's just so big but it's nice and light. It's not too salty
It's actually well balanced like you can definitely taste the mayonnaise in there. So I like it. Hmm
Since we're at home, and we can pretty much do whatever we want. This is
now a
Double-decker it's not gonna fall because I am a professional eater. I do this for a living
guys ready for this
Egg in cut this I know what a beast. That's actually pretty delicious. It's hard to fit all in your mouth
But just I have a pretty big mouth. No problem. Number two did in de Chocolat from Cafe Lake Oh collage
Hope that's right. This one is also from Tokyo Kagurazaka, which is also known as petit paris
Meaning that it's a highly competitive area for French restaurants
the shop itself is a popular French cafe here and their specialty 13 de Chocolat this you would almost think
that you are getting like a Medal of Honor coming from this box or maybe kind of like
I thought a watch is nice but a medal of honor like only so many, you know
Like if you do something nice for your country and like you you're very brave, they give you like a medal of honor, okay?
I think I'd rather get a watch
Anyways, it looks like like a premium-grade a top of the food chain top quality
Box, so this here is the chocolate cake to win them all and apparently this cake
Itself was cooked in a convection oven and then it to cook it
They used some steam in order to like preserve which this isn't even a word moist the moist goodness
You're gonna in fact this like center bit right here
It's not supposed to be fully cooked and it's supposed to just be like melting almost
It should be like ganache
Here's a picture right here that they sold on the website. I've cut another piece right there
You can see that it's a little bit more
Melty thick fudgy loveliness right there. Let's take a bite of this centerpiece
Can you eat the one that's already cut?
I wanted a good one Oh, oh
That's so good that is so rich and delicious
It's almost like having like straight punch like a melty fudge creamy day texture of chocolate. There's no cake in here
There's no like fluffy bready textures to it. It's just a straight-up chocolate
It's not that sweet though, but it's like so rich said like it hits the back of your throat. It's so good
I feel guilty for having each and every single bite. This would be good with some coffee or some milk. Hmm
More like one of my favorite chocolate cakes ever
I wanna eat it with vanilla ice cream
We have ice cream sandwiches, let me try it
So this is kind of like the beauty of being at home. You can justify it whatever you want and this combination
Is like Uncle right? All right, let's try this
Oh my god, that's good. I feel like I'm in heaven right now. Can we move on to the next one?

Ooh and save up to 44 dollars using my code Paolo 10 and link in the description that said let's fly over to the next
spot
Three Yamagata you gave from saga Seneca. So I ordered the special meat dish from saga
sandy cool all the way from Yamagata prefecture
So this spot delivers a three?
Beautiful packages of red dye meat thinly sliced so I got this special meat dish from saga
Hey, Nico
The guy uses less marbled meat as they believe that Hammami is best
concentrated in red meat when eating raw before we try it gotta add their special sauce and then as an option one of my personal
Favorite things to do is to top it off with a beautiful
Yellow raw egg yolk. And if you want it's also recommended to use a shredded vegetables like apples or cucumber
Look at that look at all that sauce and the soaked up egg. Yolk, baby. I like it, raw
Baby, I like it raw. Oh
Nobody knows that song
It actually really smells like Korean barbecue
That meat is so tender you definitely taste like a soy sauce base to it
But it's also mixed in I believe with Vicey Korean missile called coach udon
It is delicious. And then just with that egg yolk. It just gives it a nice gooey texture to it
The meat itself is really soft and tender
I wouldn't say that it melts in your mouth, but I don't really have to chew so much
It just kind of goes down really really easily since it is raw you do get a little bit of sashimi
Texture if you like sashimi then you'll definitely like this. In fact, you'll find that this is one of the more popular
Appetizers out of like a Korean barbecue restaurant. I
Know like it was funny because in the last video I also did some raw meat and a lot of you are like yuck
I would never try that. That's
disgusting a lot of people don't realize is that in Japan the quality of meat and fish is really high and
Since it's so high, it's really safe to eat even brah and so a lot of people just saying
Oh, that's discussing or probably coming from the perspective from their country
Like it's really dangerous to eat raw meat but in Japan, it's really safe
And in fact, it's a freaking delicious and just to show you how safe this really is
They even have like a proper
certificate here that shows like how fresh and
Inspected this meat is this is not your fast food place. This is straight up Gor Gor my boom
boom boom boom boom boom
Number four yo, and I gyoza set from PI don't so this next one hits close to home here in Tokyo
It's in de Dabashi area. So this is a Chinese restaurant called pyrin but more than a restaurant
It's more of like an izakaya a drinking restaurant
so people come here have some drinks eat some Chinese food and
Namely gyoza, but truth be told I already had some of this gyoza
He actually ordered it about a week ago and I just couldn't help myself. I had to try it
So this one is gonna be more of a review but I liked it so much that I had to include it in this
So look at these lovely
Morsels right in front of me. Basically, we have four different types. And today I've actually cooked it in two different ways
This one here is the pan-fried style. And this one here is a steamed style and you can see
Or you can smell the goodness on this plate not only are the colors different on the skin
But the ingredients inside each one is different as well
Let me start with one of my favorites and it's actually these black ones right here
This one is the pan-fried one as you can see right there dip it in a little bit of soy sauce
You've actually put some vinegar and some rye. You kind of like a spicy oil.
Wow the oils of the meat are so good
What sets this one apart as you can see that's like a full piece of garlic right there. Mm-hmm. Mmm. Goodness
The meat itself is quite sweet
It does have a little bit of like kind of like a peppery spice to it
But more than anything you can really taste the garlic in here
Not just like if you take a bite and a big piece of garlic
But the meat itself has a very overwhelming garlic taste which for those garlic lovers is a perfect and I love garlic
In fact, it's really different to your kind of say Japanese gyoza, which has got like a thinner skin
This one has kind of a really really thick skin. It's a little bit chewy. It's very mochi mochi. Oh, man
I'm loving this and then we have three more to go
So this one is probably my a second favorite here this red little hitter
I'm gonna actually eat it with some rice this time. But yeah, take a bite of this
Hmm
Yes
And this one is quite interesting also because it almost tastes like it has this red paste to it
Like a very hot spicy red paste in there the more I eat it. It could actually be my favorite one
I'm starting to like this one more and more
It has some red peppers scallions in there to think about some bits of pieces of garlic. It is quite spicy
Maiko was actually pretty surprised when she had this and she said wow, this is really really spicy
I'm like, yeah, I can do it, but I am sweating me so
What was your favorite? Garlic and Cinnamon
Garlic and Cinnamon
Hey, don't tell him okay, since she said it
So this one looks like just your regular gyoza pan-fried hot sticker, but it's actually cinnamon flavor
Hmm, you can see all like the cinnamon powder all up in there
It's almost like a dessert gyoza something you would get at Disneyland kind of like a cinnamon bread, and I've never had
Gyoza before that actually has cinnamon
So it's quite an interesting take on it and the final one the Ninja Turtle gyoza. Which can you guys guess what's inside this one?
So this one here is nieta flavor so you can see it has these little bits of nita very ordinary
But at the same time insanely good what a joy
All right, bring on the next one and number five Kaizen sanshoku dong from guro. No, Yoshi
so this next one we're traveling all the way to a he made which has some of the
freshest fish in the world
the restaurant itself has more than
53 years of history and has more than
22 shops all over the judoka and Shikoku area and the fact that we're able to order the food have it delivered
Directly here makes me just so happy. Look at this a beautiful
Sensation this is called a Sun shokudo meaning three types of fish on a bed of rice
So you get these three packages the Otoro, which is fatty tuna
and then you get this salmon roe which is known as
Kuta and then you get that Looney which is a sea urchin
basically
You get a hundred grams a hundred grams in the sea urchin is 70 grams and it's just a so
much food, like literally I probably recommend to split this up between two people and you know,
We have to start with the fatty. Tuna give this old total just dip it in some soy sauce like that
You can have it in sashimi style if you want. I put it on a bed of rice
Let me just have the rice and look at the head I had the rice is just falling apart
That's brilliant, you can just taste all of the oils coming off that fatty tuna
you can see the oils just gold sitting right there and like the marbled the fat inside with a
Red fish it literally just melts in your mouth. That is amazing. Like just this alone is worth it. And you know what?
I just can't wait. I'm just gonna have all of it all at once because it's just so good
You can do whatever you want
This is my life. And I'm gonna live it the way I want to in the way I want to right now
Is it all this in the spoon?
Oh, sorry. I'm just getting so excited. Just take a bite of this fully packed spoon
The fish it's so fresh it's so
Smooth all the different flavors from the oak Toto the salmon roe and the sea urchin just combined
It's like a triple turned into a home run
This is amazing
The fact you're supposed to actually use white rice
but instead it almost looks like
Again, my butt what Maiko and I do is we take our white rice and we mix it with this packet right here
It says Jew
kuku my and it's basically kind of like a mixture of different seasons like gives it this kind of
Reddish color and and just has additional kind of grains to it makes it a little bit healthier than just white rice
The thing is I've put some soy sauce on it, but there's just so much flavor here, especially from the salmon room
You really really don't need any soy sauce at all. Maybe just like a little bit Matt is just so good
I feel like they've like marinated the salmon roe so it gives it all of this flavor without any soy sauce
