In this video, I'm gonna share with you my top Japanese and takeout delivery foods.
So I know a lot of you are staying home these days
Maiko and I have actually been here a lot of the time. Aside from just like going out and shopping.
And one of the biggest things people have been doing is ordering food,
so I kind of wanted to share with you some of my favorite top picks that I've been ordering myself.
In fact, when we're not at home cooking, or actually ordering food,
which is probably a lot better than going out during this time.
And I don't know what service you use in your country but something that's been really popular recently in Japan.
Especially in Tokyo, it's UberEats. So all these places will be from UberEats.
Oh and one thing to note, for those of you who do live in Tokyo. I live in the Shibuya area.
So the places that I'm ordering from are local to this area, and so it may be different from where you are.
So at the end of the day,
I'm hoping you and your family stay safe during this time. And like always before I start, if you want to help support the channel

So without further ado, let's get our Japanese delivery food on!
Number one, Truffle Beef Sukiyaki Rice from Juban Ukyo Ebisu
Truffle shuffle truffle shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle. So basically, I don't get this one a lot at home.
Just because it's a little bit on the more expensive side, but I kind of wanted to show you that you can get something
that's pretty you know, how do you say, extravagant delivered to your home here in Japan.
So this is like a traditional Japanese meal. It's called Sukiyaki, but what's special about it.
is that it has
these truffles like these thinly sliced truffles that surround the top of it and then you have this nice
perfectly, what's not perfectly, it's just it's just an egg yolk.
Let me just break this for you guys and then we'll take a bite.
All right, egg has been broken. One thing about the egg is that it's just so
orange. The color of the egg is
so beautiful to me sometimes. When it's that orange, you can feel like it's really rich and, like, nutritious.
Now, look how big these pieces of meat are.
It's just lovely pieces
You can see that truffle has taken a ride with the meat just attached because of that egg yolk.
Just flip this around here. I don't know if you guys can see that to see that marbling.
Just get it with some rice. Dig deep down for that rice.
Oh...
I'm getting so excited!! I can't grab the rice!! Okay, I'm just gonna have to just take this rice
Okay there, just gonna have to take a bite of this. Might get messy in here.
(Slurping sounds)
Holy damn1 that is wonderful!
Oh, that meat is so tender!
Mixed in with the rice and the egg yolk, and then to top it all off
you have that truffle flavoring. And what's so amazing with every single bite,
you have the combination of the oil from the meat, you have the richness of the egg, and then the rice
creates this like really amazing sticky texture and that kind of brings out all of that umami.
Oh! It is just to die for and this being Sukiyaki,
you can taste kind of the soy sauce and the dashi.
Sometimes, you'll have Sukiyaki and it's like really really rich,
but this is kind of like lightly put on there so it's not overpowering
But you do have the egg and then you have the truffles that are kind of like accentuate the flavors
So it just brings it all together. Even like the egg adds additional flavor to this which is quite amazing.
You don't really have that like really really strong sukiyaki taste, but nonetheless it is delicious probably reads
Sometimes it's like I kind of go crazy and I just like ordered everything and it gets quite expensive
So you have to be careful so you can't order this stuff all the time
But on a special occasion like this when I'm sharing it with you guys generally worth it
Number two pork. Milfay katsu with cheese from ki mukotsu ABC hauntin. Can I get a what-what?
Micah
Whoa, whoa
Anyways, I'll be with myself. We in the building
Check out this a flavorful
Treat pop up a fried goodness. This is a pork cutlet
Also known as katsu it has this like breaded
punko on the outside and nice and crispy but what sets this one apart is that it has
cheese all up in
this again, its
Milfy mill no fee mill mill fee. No fee Malay falou
Whatever the word that I can't pronounce a thousand layers. Yes. Yes. Yes mix it in with some rice. That is a bite of Champions
I'm so happy and the thing is the pork is so tender
The fact is the meat itself is nice in the kind of like Airy its moist
but it's not like super super heavy and I've actually put
Sauce on top of it in Japan is like kind of like a sweet. Where's the Shire sauce?
You do have the option to go watch the shire or you can do like this ponzu hitter
But I've decided to go with kind of like this sweet almost like barbecue sauce
I would say but it's sweet and kind of just like gives it that extra
Goodness that we all want in our fried food
Mmm, look at the beautiful like layers of pork in there or the cheese kind of embedded inside
Of the pork and then the nice crispy crust. Oh
And that cheese is gooey gives it a really really nice
Texture to the crunchy outside moist pork and then inside you get that gooey. Gooey
Tenderness I can warm hug on a cold winter's day

Strawberry from gram premium Daikanyama. So time to switch it up a little bit do something different. It's dessert time
So here it is a straight from the graham. The graham is actually a pancake place
It's a super popular for it's a fluffy
Style pancakes and you can see just the fluff in this right now time to take a bite from this creamy
pancake fluffiness
sensation
It's like a birthday in my mouth that is so creamy
Hmm it's a nice light whipped cream. Really Airy. It's kind of surrounded by this moist
Super extra fluffy pancake and then it has like this little density of what you would expect in a pancake
And it has that pancake taste but since it's a soufflé pancake
It's nice and airy which just pairs really really well with the cream is like a perfect dessert. I actually offer three different flavors
I ordered two they have the regular whipped cream standard flavor
They also have strawberry and chocolate and here is the strawberry and my favorite
Hmm what I love about this strawberry flavor, it's not like you're dull standard strawberry
It has kind of like a tangy taste to it those almost like very close to the sherbert side of strawberry and it's amazing
It's almost like a raspberry, but it's still strawberry and you can see like outer shell. It does have like that Penn
Pancake like style to it, but it's just a big super a pancake
I love the strawberry flavor is so much more than
Number four cold grilled lamb soup curry from Hokkaido soup curry. So again Oh
Righty. So this little combination here is one of my favorite soup curry specials
Basically, you get the curry here and then you get the rice here
Just smelling it right now
you can smell that strong lamb smell and it's kind of like has this smoky smell to it as well, which is really
really intoxicating
I can see that there's just so many spices in here already when they I love is how
I've been filled with a meat so you can actually get different types of meat
I got lamb which I always usually get but they also have like chicken leg chicken neck
You can't even get like a vegetable curry so you can get like different types, which is really nice about this place
But you know, I always go with a lamb these days is my favorite did all of this meat Wow
Let me just get some rice in here. What's nice about the rice? It's not just like a straight white rice
I think that's kind of like again my rice so you got like different grains
They don't put too much but it got a little bit of that color and additional flavor. Let's just get some rice in there
Wow, the first fight is always so amazing you can get like all the flavors of the curly it's kind of like a smoky curry
all of like the flavors from the lamb have kind of just like
Marinated into the soup and so get some more of that rice in here
Mound
Delicious rice dipped in let me see if I can get some meat trapped in there as well
My spoon can't carry that much meat. Well, I'm gonna do it anyway
Look at all that meat. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna see if I can get in
Mm-hmm
And what I just love about this soup is just a
Complex of flavor like you get like a sweetness from the onions you have like all of the different vegetables
You have some pumpkin in here. You have some eggplant you get some corn in here
You have the egg to have the okra even broccoli
You just get all of these like different
vegetables and everything just mixes and marinades into this soup and all those flavors combined have just such a
Complex nature to it. The thing is they don't skimp out on the vegetables
Look at this you get up like a half a freakin potato in there. That's amazing how big that is
So if you're looking for a soup curry hitter, this is the joint and number five
Okay, Maki sushi from kampachi nori Tamaki Harajuku. So I got these sushi rolls
It comes in a set of three you can actually order it individually
That's what I do most of the time because you can actually choose which ones you want
But wanted to save a little bit money because spending a little bit too much on the other stuff
So when I first came to Japan I was so confused on how to open up. These sushi rolls
You've seen them a lot in convenience
but all you have to do is pull this red strip down once you've peeled that red strip open it up like
So and then you have this like access here
he can actually just rip it like that and you kind of just
roll it like so and you pull it out just roll it now a
little secret that a lot of Japanese people do if you take like this little like seaweed flap right here just kind of
Tear it like so and then what you do is you take it and use it like that
To hold it. So when you're eating from this end, you don't actually drip any of the contents it works
Well when you have like not though inside which is like ten stitches like fall at the bottom
So this one is a salmon and avocado
Take the first bite
Salmon is nice and fresh avocado is on point and what's nice about though the rice that they use it's called super mushy
It's not like regular rice, but in fact, it's mixed with a vinegar
So pears are really really well with a fish. The nice thing is a seaweed is still like nice and crunchy
Okay, this is like unbeatable man. Like if you want to get some sushi rolls
Roll it up like the homies
This is one of my favorites is spicy tuna, you can see they have some cucumber in there
I
Just love the crunchy texture of the cucumber and then you have like the minced spicy tuna in there, you know
This one is fully loaded with fish
I mean with all this food being delivered to your home this quality
