Simon: "So today we are at Saitamaya Yakiton
"and we have done a couple videos in the past"
"before about yakitori, but this place takes it to a entirely new level"
"So we got here at three o' clock."
"Service opens at four, and when we got here the line up was already huge."
"People travel from all over the country to come here to eat."
"Last time we were here people in the corner there were from Hokkaido, people across from us were from Kyoto."
"This is a culinary pilgrimage that people book time out to come here to experience."
"The first thing you get in your course is the beef secret."
"This is wagyu beef right here in their special sauce."
"And just wait a second."
*Simon rapidly blows air out of his nose in pure blissful joy*
"One of the things you'll notice."
"From all the people when they first eat this the only thing you can do is put your hands down and look around as if holy shit did I just have this."
Martina: "Pork intestine, some of you are gonna be like, 'Ew, intestine'."
"This is so good. He grills, and he salts it gently, then you eat it, and you think 'where has this been my whole life'."
*Martina lets out a soft moan from the delicious intestine*
Oguma Hideo: "That's right." *Laughs*
M:"It's so amazing guys"
*Martina Lets out another soft moan while looking deeply at her pork intestine.*
S: "This right here is the white liver. I love liver."
"And I love this this stick"
"A smooth mousse, a lot of liver you sometimes have when you bite into it crunches and it fights back."
"This is just -" M: "Magic Pâté on a stick"
S: "- ah man."
S: "This right here is spleen. You barely ever see spleen at a place like this."
"And this is covered in a garlic butter -"
"- spleen is really good. Spleen is great."
"Oh Mercy" *Simon softly yells in delight*
"Friends, come here. You don't know."
"I'm so happy, it could be because I had two lemon sours already."
*Simon moans in pure pleasure*
M: "And the video quality slowly gets worse" *laughs*
"Now there are some rules to this place"
M: "Lets talk about the lemon sour."
"Normally lemon sours are made with, like, ice cubes, but this place actually freezes their alcohol in advance"
"They're using shochu, and they freeze to make it kinda slushy so they don't need to add any ice."
"So these are hardcore."
"A gigantic glass of shochu, freshly squeezed lemon, and they add a little bit of soda water and rim it with some salt."
"It's kind of like a Japanese margarita."
M: "No cameras, no pictures, no video."
S: "Now some of you might be asking if we're not allowed to take photos here, how is it we are shooting video here."
"And to answer your question, I really don't know."
"See, we're really good friends with a tabelog reviewer named 'tokyorocks'"
"so you can check out his page here"
"and we came here with him. He has been eating at this place for over 20 years now."
"And he just asked in passing if we could shoot a video, and the owner said, 'Yes.'"
"but he has turned down tons of television opportunities, he has turned down CNN."
"You would have a better chance of going to NASA and saying, 'Hey, I like your spaceship can I fly it?'"
"And them saying, 'Yes,' than you getting a video in this place.
"I'm amazed, i'm honored, this is so such a special wonderful day guys."
"Whoo!"
S: "Now this is altogether an amazing experience, but the saddest part is"
"when you look down at your plate and you see that you have got eight sticks, "
"because you know there's only one more stick to go,"
"but eight sticks means there's one left."
M: "Are you ready to have your mind blown?"
"Homemade salsa on your chicken."
"He says it felt like a really nice palate cleanser,"
"like you have all this kinda oily, really intense food"
"and at the end of the night you have this beautiful last stick of beautifully grilled chicken"
"covered in salsa, with a little bit of peppers inside of it."
*Martina looks at the chicken pleasure and lets out a noise to match her gaze.*
"Mhm"
"I mean I want 20 more but I won't ask."
M: "Guys, we just had an incredible night here, which you didn't see off camera is that the chef"
"let us sit down with the rest of his family, his grandkids and they cooked us a little tiny homecooked meal"
"and we shared it with everybody, and we just had an absolutely incredible night,"
"and this place is a family run business. It's been passed down from generation to generation"
"and you can feel it in the passion for the food, "
" so I really recommend you put this on your bucket list of things to come to."
"It may not be the most expensive place but the food is absolutely top notch."
"And please just do us a favor; make sure you follow the rules."
"Come here, put your camera down, put your phone down; watch him grill the meat,"
"try everything and just remember this as a really special experience in your life, guys."
