just going to eat and drink at this
izakaya which is one of my favorite
izakayas in tokyo it's called hambe and
it's a little bit crazy so let's eat
[Music]
we are inside the izakaya this izakaya
is called hambe and it's kind of the
style of the showa era right yeah showa
era style izakaya it's super fun super
cute and the menu is huge and each thing
is super cheap as well and the english
oh the english is very interesting if
you come here even if you understand
japanese get the english menu it has
such classics as well dip twice sorry
for the source of the desktop mood guard
under the umeda or we can get the
classic boob size
but that's not really a translation

is actually my first time dining here
but these are all regulars i hear so
much fun my favorite is the guy i'm on
the website see if you can find me
okay
and we're gonna challenge ourselves
today this was shioni's idea she's like
why don't we eat a lot this place is
really really cheap so even though your
budget is kind of small you come here
you can eat a lot and you can drink a
lot so we are trying to get 100 dollars
how much tea we can eat for 100 pounds
don't worry guys we definitely can do it
because i'm going to order the home run
size beer how big is that i don't know
as big as the
a home run but everything else
everything is so cheap here like you can
get one yakitori skewer for 50 yen so 50
cents everything is about yeah usually
less than a dollar the most expensive
one is that's 3.99

delicious i guess it's a canned one or
something but it's very sweet and very
juicy that was awesome
do you guys know the later mikang is the
kishoku yeah i didn't know that i know
that either fun fact
is something you guys are excited during
the summer break after this time in the
school so
there you can get the frozen mikado like
the it's still then covered with the oh
your skin yeah so you need to feel like
so hot it's frozen you can buy it uh
like combination yeah maybe my basket
yeah i'm saying
yeah the ones that we currently have in
school are that they're in like a little
plastic bag so they're already peeled
now and they freeze yeah exactly it's
better it's way better and they put in a
little plastic container you get them
like that so when i was teaching i used
to like have a raffle and give away to a
kid everybody
they love them they love makeup
so i'll be like sensei come eggs i gotta
ask for the kids well since i don't like
this orange what should i do is i'll
give some
[Music]
the food is here not all of it but most
of it look at everything that we have
there's such a big variety look we even
have frogs likes over here wow
but yeah i guess we're just gonna tuck
in and try different things and shall we
itadaki it's a tuck-in
yeah where'd it begin there's so much
what would you do that we get bonjouri
over there little garnet some yeah
what is conjuring
chicken butt i don't know what this is
i'm gonna have something can we get some
sauces that's cheese katsu
then i will not have this
chamomile
the good thing about coming to hongdae
you can experience most of the good
japanese food
for cheap fries because you can eat the
both kushiyaki and yakitori so and
oppose a super reasonable price
that's the good thing about yeah the
variety is crazy because they also have
like takoyaki and okonomiyaki as well
right there's like if you want to try a
big variety of different kinds of
japanese food this is the place
jordan what are you eating straight
cheese
didn't ask jordan what are you eating
for some yakisoba as well i love how
they put an egg on it as well get a
little bit of the egg noodles apparently
yakisoba is a very popular menu item
here and i can see why it's a classic
how is it exactly what i wanted yeah but
full of flavor packs of punch like
yakisoba sauces did you not get any
benefit my dude oh my apologies i don't
know i'm not into beni's shelter that
much i don't even know how to how to go
about this break it in half and choose
one that legs oh my god
jump away oh my god it's alive it tastes
like chicken really good though good
flavor yeah it looks texture also looks
like chicken like yeah i would believe
it's chicken but yeah it's really good
do you guys have frogs in australia i
mean they exist but we don't really eat
them i think a french restaurant you
probably get it oh i think there's one
thing we didn't get on the menu it's
like crickets yes oh yeah yeah i'm not
keen to try but i've had them before
i've been in before the crickets are
dry
like they're meant to be but yeah
they're bugs yeah it's dry it's like
not the best thing to consume
here oh one time is it wet
well how about i try some panno mimi
which is essentially the crust of the
bread as a bread lover would anyone else
like to try me
are here we go
sarah it's good it's very oily
it tastes like fried tofu yeah yeah i
can taste it tastes like bread but like
i like peanut butter flavor i'm like
japan love it
love it i'll try the agapan as well
this is good
recommend
she's so excited i'm gonna try it she's
selling it to me
i'd get another one of these that was
really good
it's like better than a donut it's so
soft and fluffy and sugary because this
bread it's so safe right but it's not a
nice fluffy but it's very
fried from buffer fries i guess
and lightly coated with the pineapple
and sugar
someone who wants to save money
sometimes i do that wait you do what you
save money
you buy it at the bread shop for like 20
cents and i eat that instead of bread
let me clarify they actually sell the
crust it's not just like the sides the
pieces i got it's the saigon
so this is the panda mimi the crust
so you can you might get this for free
when if you go to the local bakery
because these are like one of the most
saving money kind of food
for the not only choirs i think even
now until now if you want to save some
money and if you want to eat something
filling you buy or you ask for the
fundamentals
and they you might get this for free
they'd rather give you someone who can
enjoy like this because if you're
creative you can eat something delicious
you can dip in the junk or the
mayonnaise so
this is how you can eat and then save
money i feel like a lot of the foods
here you'll find them at izakaya but a
lot of them are just here or just like
showa kind of style like
you can go to a normal izakaya and
usually get like a pan or probably yeah
i don't i've never seen or you can't
right
yeah yeah there's some kind of story
behind so if you know
you're like ah that's squishy that's
really nostalgic feeling so if you come
here with the abyss senpai a bit
older japanese people you can enjoy
extra because they can talk about oh we
used to eat this
used to enjoy this
that's nice i feel like you feel
transported back to that time with all
the decorations and everything
especially like if you'd watch some of
the older ghibli movies i feel like
you've seen some of these kinds of
designs
and all of that like look at that old
shiseido like that's a classic brand
that's worldwide and it just looks so
different yeah there's so many elements
of the showa
well look there's even an old radio here
and like the telephone
we are in the shibuya branch
branch so i guess a major place but when
i went to the humber there's like a
private room and then has a bit of like
it looks like a different room right
oh i haven't seen a one that looks like
a living room it's like it's like a
showa style living room there's like an
old school bar
once they're pretty cool where where
it depends which one you go to there's
one we used to go to near a quarter
station and they had the old school bar
type setup there are ones that have like
um like oh like everyone's having little
tiny tables as well you can sit around
them it's fun so
you can sit down
that's the one the
father is yeah
so i think this branch is very spacious
and they're very open but if you go to
champaign in other branches there's a
bit key room as well so please check out
the website and then see the what you
like to go but my experience with humber
is
every every single humber has different
interesting things but all related to
is very much it's very popular for those
who know about it but a lot of people
don't know about it and the hardest
thing is finding the finding a location
yeah
always this is the whole thing of
hamburg it's always so hard to find them
like don't worry now is it a it's in the
basement they're like there are two in
shijuku one is on like the fifth floor
of a building and you want even if you
google it unless you're looking up like
this
you will not find it like it's they're
all so hard to get to feel like now that
you mentioned that maybe i did go to
hombay in kyoto like six years ago and
it was just like my friend my japanese
friend taught me like through this
really narrow like staircase and it was
kind of like this so maybe it was that
also just be ready because homemade can
get really busy a lot of the times i
come here
it's just like either wait is super long
or they're like no it's just way too
busy
if you have tremolo and if you want to
try humber i
recommend you guys to come the weekday
and then right after they open yeah and
then maybe you have a bit of a chance or
if anything go on their website and you
can book there and there's an english
podcast like an english website as well
and from there you can like make a
reservation in english 100
yeah which is pretty good
so far only 80 or 90.
get more drinks
speaking of drinks if you celebrate your
birthday here they actually bring out a
huge drink and they'll blast the music
really loudly
and they'll embarrass you in front of
everyone it's really fun please try it
bring your friend or yourself the staff
have been so lovely
thank you thank you humber so if you
come here have a laugh come here
light-hearted and not sure what you're
going to eat yeah the menu is not
explaining
i got a big full tummy but none of you
were expecting that sound
so full that stuff was so so good we ate
here's our receipt very impressive and
we got twelve thousand four hundred and
eight yen worth of stuff and also one
thousand five hundred sixty under that
was the otoshi so the stuff you get
you have to pay table charge we did it
we got over itchy maya
that was also really really good i love
this place's giant beers and the
yakisoba slapped it's
[Music]
yeah definitely if you come to japan
you've got to check it out it's so good
and yes of course english friendly menu
it's worth it yeah let us know in the
comments down below what thing you
wanted to try out of all the stuff that
we had today but thank you so much for
watching we're gonna go home and we'll
see you in the next video
