[sigh] [briefcase slams on table]
-Oh my god. -What a terrible day at work today!
-You had a rough day you should have heard my day. -Oh, what happened?
-Listen, my boss was like getting me food. Get me food.
Get me food. I'm like you already have food that I already ordered
What do you need more food for, and it's like he's already overweight, but does he care? No. -My boss
He's like leaning on his back. He's like touch my tummy, and then I tried to touch his tummy
He's like no, don't touch my tummy then he bites and he claws me -Right they're like touch my tummy
Then they're like don't touch my tummy. Like what are we supposed to do?
-I don't know and just shedding everywhere. -It's confusing altogether
-It's just such a nightmare
-Exhausting is what it is -and if you can't tell this is our best
Impersonation of what people with real jobs might be complaining about when it comes to the bosses
-You know who my boss was was it? was it Dr. Meemersworth?
It was Dr. Meemersworth! -He's my boss too!
-He's a jerk right? -Oh my gosh, he's such a demanding little jerk.
You're fired
-The point is after a very hard day as a salaryman -I am a salaryman
-We today are going to show you how to drink like a salaryman in Japan. -This video was sponsored by Suntory
[Music]
For special times make it Suntory times
Hold on a second. This needs to be like a speech, Lost in Translation was such a huge inspiration for me.
So for me to now be able to do a video for Suntory, and to be able to say that line
I'm, so honored Bill Murray and I have now advertised Suntory and said the same line
I think that makes us best friends for life.
-Are you fanning yourself with a picture of gyozas? -This was a terrible day to cosplay
Basically as a Salaryman because it's like 44 degrees in Tokyo right now.
So I think we are really suffering
What people normally suffer when they wear these outfits in the summertime
because oh my god! -This here is a oshibori
It's a wet towel that's been individually packaged
from what I've learned from my studies about how to drink like a salaryman -Go on. I like these facts
-You are supposed to use these to wipe your hands, but if you wipe your face, it means business time is over
[Sexy music]
-Okay, you're getting a little... you're getting a little too -Oh yeah 6 more please
-I mean this is refreshing and all but you know, what's way more refreshing? -Tell me
Suntory Premium Malts
[Music]
We call them premium malts, but a lot of people here in Set call it pre mall
It's a little bit of shortening of the two of them
-If we're gonna be cosplaying as salaryman then we have to do
-we gotta get the right terminology. [Japanese]
[Japanese]
Oh, yes Arigato gozaimasu
-This right here is the perfect pour of a Japanese beer [Japanese]
-He went for it I see -how do people do that? How do people chug beer?
Your animals -They started in high school that's how Simon.
cuz we didn't drink it right in school. -We didn't. Let me just say before coming, Japan
I didn't like any foam on my beer what so ever, but since coming to Japan I've learned how to appreciate it.
In fact, I've even learned that there's a proper ratio
You're supposed to have of 70% beer to 30% foam.
-that might sound really crazy because most of us think of like a head-on beer as something that you don't want to
drink -Right -but the head is extremely different
it's velvety and then we found out it's not just there to be smooth and delicious
It's there to trap in the bubbles
So the beer stays we're rushing and fizzy and doesn't go flat
-so it's called kamiawa, which is known as the god bubbles
So when you come to Japan and you drink a beer make sure you enjoy your god bubbles.
I drank all my god bubbles
-I still have god bubbles in mine
[Music]
Ooo arigato gozaimasu
-I love getting these little like cabbages right here. I'm so hungry
-I don't think you're supposed to use your fingers to eat that I'll be honest. you barbarian.
-RuIe number 2 use chopsticks when you're in Japan [Sumimasen
basically, if they remember what you ordered before
I'm just asked me for one more of this, and I'm gonna be saying that a lot tonight
You never,ever, try drinking beer without kanpai-ing first -NEVER!
Cheersing is a critical part to let you know that it is time to let your tie down -and if you drink without kanpai-ing
I'm pretty sure they deport you. -Yes, they eject you. There's a chair with a button -like let straight out of the country
[Sexy music]
Oh my god
-I'm gonna need like at least 20 more of these basically
I've never been served this before -Yuzu pepper on the side with gyoza. I've never seen that as well
-They're just so little and cute. I'm not allowed to call this cute am I?
I'm like I am a salaryman
[Grunting] Gyoza [Grunting]
-It's a good one -Yep, do we slap tables a lot?
-I don't know, but we're going to keep slapping tables until we know what else
[Grunting]
mmmmm
Fried gyoza and
beer, this is my favorite combination in Japan. When we were in Korea
it was all about fried chicken and beer. Here a good gyoza with some nice Suntory. This is my jam
-Delicious doughy carbs that have been grilled to perfection on one side
to allow you to have that perfect crunch that you want
but also somehow steam to maintain a bouncy fluff wa texture on the outside
of the dough filled with delicious bite sized green onion and pork. -I know you know that feeling of
Eating a dumpling or a hot pocket and just scalding hot in your mouth
Grab some nice cold beer... You finished your beer my gosh. She's gonna get another one. More beer for the wife!
-I am a salaryman
[Japanese]
[Beer pouring]
-Edamame, it's got that saltiness that matches really well ,almost like eating a salted peanut
you know a "bar food", but it's healthy
-I just find it so cool because the bean is inside here the bean isn't salted. It's the skin
That's salted so when you put in your mouth you taste the salt from the outside of the skin
But you eat the inside bean.
So Martina have just learned something fundamental -Oh no it's a Beanie showdown Simon.
-We eat beans differently -We sure do
I put mine in my mouth, I pull on the bean with my teeth. It's out
-I always pop with my fingers into my mouth
-But that's risky. It could pop left or right it can pop out that's why beans have popped up when you ate it!
-That's a part of the surprise. You just pull it with your teeth?
-One vote for Martina -(To Dan) How do you eat beans? pull it with your teeth, or do you pop it (I pop it) with your fingers?
-It's literally now 50/50
Let me know in the comment section below if you pop your beans or if you put them in your mouth
-little quick note right here
This is probably my favorite stool that I've ever seen
It's got a little holes in there. For those of us that are gassy. Instead of like keeping it all trapped in there
Simon's trying to say it's a fart hole, it's a fart hole
He's mincing words. -This is Wakanda level technology here..Samimasen!. Beam Highball. Futatsu. onegaishimasu
[Music]
Oh
[Japanese]
Look at this
-So the beam highball is basically a little bit of bourbon, a little bit of soda
and then a really good squidge of lemon.
It's super refreshing because you've got like this bubbling sparkling kind of like soda feel
[Music]
It's not whiskey in your face and the lemon kind of cuts through that
So even if you eat something greasy like a Gyozo or other things it's gonna be like the perfect match for it
[Music]
Beam highball fact. Some people will start with a beer and then kind of move on to the highball.
-If you start with a highball,
that's a clear indication to your waiters that you've had a terrible day at work.
-That's why we started with beer
-That's right -eased our way into the high ball
-For this video, we knew that we have to dress up like salary men
This is the suit that I wear for every wedding that I go to
Martina actually had to buy clothing for this because she doesn't have a salaryman suit
-This is a borrowed tie.
-I don't know what goes in the salaryman's briefcase,so -You go first. -I have my Nintendo 3ds
I have some saran wrap that I can use if in case I wanted -Oh is this the saran wrap?
-This is Japanese saran wrap
I can wrap up any food that doesn't like get finished today because
[Martina side thoughts] I need you. I'm supposed to be listening to Simon. Whoo. All right, you naughty thing I'll eat you. I'll eat you soon
-I have my favorite Ghibli movie. It's Howl's Moving Castle.
-When are you gonna watch that? -and then I have a note from my wife
She says thank you for being so kind. I love you. Martina leaves me a little notes like this around the house
What do you have a near briefcase? -You sure you want to see what's in my briefcase?
-Let's see what you got. -First of all
I have a Spudgy because I know that it's important sometimes to bring your spirit animal with you. -Very true
-I also have Duck Duck McQuakerson because like I didn't want Spudgy to get lonely. -Right
-So I also brought my, like, swallows toy -Cuz you're a fan -Then I brought Wolverine with me
-Did you bring anything like that people actually work with? -I brought hot sauce?
-We're not sure you're prepared for being salarymen. -What are you talking about?
-We're cosplaying to the best of our abilities.
-I am a salaryman
-So that's it for our wonderful special video about why Suntory is so amazing
and about how to drink like a Japanese salaryman.
Now not every single izakaya serves Suntory Premium Malts. So this one right here is Hakata Gekijo.
It's in Shimbashi
Make sure you check it out. -Also, can I just say, the waitresses here are adorable.
We'll definitely put a link in our info box below
and let you guys come here and then please make sure you send us pictures
If you come and eat because the gyoza is so good.
The beer's so good. These Beam Highballs are good. -This life is good girl
-This is too hot isn't it? -it sure is
[mutterings]
This is my dream right here, ladies and gentleman, being a youtuber in Japan doing a video for Suntory.
Eating and drink on camera
I hope you could feel how happy I am today
My god, this is a
Bucket-list achievement for me being nominated for an Emmy wouldn't give a shit
