Hmm.. a Nattō vending machine 'Nattō' my thing
(Fail sound)
(Music)
Hey guys, we're taking you guys on an Omurice adventure.
I am feeling very genki. I've just had lots of coffee. Simon however..
S: I'm so miserable right now
M: Look at that kid running past with energy
(Music)
S: How do people handle jet lag?
(Music continues)
I got like two hours of sleep last night
But I'm really good at living off of really small amounts of sleep because that's just my life
(Music)
We came back from Sweden and Denmark and we are totally f****(sheep sound)*****ed
I'm sure that was just a big sheep, right? It was just like fuu-baaaa-behhh-eeeh
I might be genki, but I'm definitely tired and crazy so we got ready for a crazy adventure
Oh Simon.. Oh ducky.. S: I on the other hand...
M: Why are you wearing my hat on your hat?
S :..do not handle sleepiness as well as Martina does M: look at this like.. what's happening here.
S: Alright, look you pervert..don't rub my chest in public M: I do what I want..
S: sexual harassment! I don't know this lady! I don't know-
Right now we are in Kōenji F*cking City. M: That's right
S: I didn't make up that middle part. If you look right here..
M: One of our crazy nights out, adventuring. And that we went to this bar
S: Kōenji is kind of like a punk/rock kind of feel. It's the grungiest..
S: People with dyed hair, lots of tattoos here. This is where I get my beer trimmed,
everyone's got tattoos at the place also and they play a lot of gangster rap..
M: Oh my god, what a cute location! Oh my god.. TOO TICKI.. wooow
I'm sorry, were you talking about gangster stuff?
S: Yes, this is very gangster, can't you see? M: Hey gangster, look at the ice cream everywhere
La la la la S: Oh my gosh
Like during the day time you can come here for a lot of retro feels.
They have vintage shops, and they have vintage toys and they have a lot of records and stuff
But then at night time it becomes like super grimy, tons of drunk people.
All the punk clubs are still here but they're kind of underground. Are you falling asleep?
Kōenji punk, let's go! But it's very quiet, so you can't hear it.
You come here and you're like.. (interrupts) Wooooah
I love this shop. I mean just one sec.. Just wait.. just one second
(shocked) It's a huge hamster! I've always wanted a hamster this big
Ducky.. in front of the house..?
S: We already have.. some stuff in front of the house M: It's only 8$.. look he's like 'look at my crotch'
(store music in the background)
Ducky if there's a pekingese dog, we have to get it!
S: Excuse me doggy sirs, have you seen any pekingese dogs around here?
I'm looking for something that looks like a peke. Any of you.. do you have any answers? How about you? No?
That looks like Meemers in the back right there
M: Okay. All right. Let's.. let's go S: You're killing me woman!
M: Let's go.. S: Leave!
M: Arigatōgozaimasu
(tweeting sound from the door) You hear the birds?
I think we should go that way and get out of the Sun. That's my theory. Because guys..
>mushi atsui< it is so hot and humid here right now
It was actually one of our favorite side streets, so normally we come here at nighttime.
I've never ever seen it during the day. I just assumed that everything was closed
But if you hang a left we did a live stream here before. This is a really fun neighborhood.
I.. 10/10 recommend coming here and just exploring all these Izakayas when they finally open up
Oh, there it is. See, I sat there. And Simon.. Simon showed everybody the penis bar..
S: Right M: The tanuki penis bar
S: Yeah, that's right M: which I feel like.. we have to go back to
M: There's the SUB STORE store SUBS STORE is an awesome little.. like record shop
I follow them on Instagram, if you guys want to.. know more about them
But I recommend. I recommend it.. 10/10
(Music)
Oh.. Duck. Look at you trying to be genki. You're not genki right now.
S: I'm very genki M: Are you?
S: What are we going to order? M: Alright, so which one you think you're going to get?
This is the traditional kind and then we've got some updated version.. tomato sauce with cheese
S: I'm gonna get the tomato cheese M: Uhh.. hashed beef.. creamy mushroom
This kind of like demi-glaze is the very.. like this is the very typical kind and then they have a tomato and ketchup to kind of balance it off
Seasonal with cheese. That looks pretty great. Omuniku..
All right, so you're gonna do tomato sauce with cheese. S: Yeah
M: Do you want anything to drink? S: Mmm.. water
Lots and lots of water... for all my hydra homies
Which one are you getting? M: Well, I really wanted that one
M: Ah, it's the worst S: You can get it too, you know
M: I hate getting the same thing as you!
Guys does anyone else feel the same? Like if you're going out with someone and it's the first time you're going to a restaurant
and you're like I really don't want to get the same thing because now we can try things
But maybe you're the kind of person who doesn't like to share.. that happens
Also, I have an excessive amount of coins. I'm doing the original one. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.. EIGHT
I don't have enough S: wha wha..
M: wha wha.. back into the pocket you go S: I might have a coin
Hot tip if you come to Japan and make sure you have cash.. yeah, yeah
(counting in japanese) ichi.. ni.. san.. shi.. go.. roku..
(coin gets rejected) What? Simon's coin probably
There!
It's all worth it
Netto Cheeto From Burito Let's go ducky
So what he's doing now is you wanna make the rice flavoured
So he's doing probably the chicken and onions adding in shimeji mushrooms, it looks like
And then after that you add your sauce and then the sauce is then added in with the rice
And so the rice is flavoured. It's not just like plain rice underneath it
(Music)
M: (whispering) Why am I not surprised that Simon is currently asleep?
M: Hai! (Yes)
S: Hai.. Tomato cheese
M: Hai! Arigatōgozaimasu S: Arigatō
M: Hai!
M: Hai! Arigatōgozaimasu
I'm not gonna start with any Omurice facts. I'm just gonna start eating it before it gets cold
I got the tomato cheese one
And I gotta tell you I haven't had an Omurice in a very long while.. look at all that.. see that steam
You know what it smells like? Tomato Soup. Canned tomato soup.
M: Yeah, it's a very comforting food. So it's not like a fancy food.
It's something that Japanese moms would make for their kids.
It's almost like going to a mac and cheese place or having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you know?
S: Yep So I got the half and half one
I've got the same tomato that Simon has but on the other side I have the demi-glace
and this is kind of like a sweet, beefy kind of gravy sauce that goes on top of it
I'm gonna go straight on in. Mine has cheese as well. It's got a nice big bowl of fried comfort food
Yep.. mushrooms, cheese, really fluffy egg on top. It's almost like Spaghetti with rice.
S: Right! M: It's like having Spaghetti and cheese.
Onions, mushrooms, tomatoes.. S: that is.. such a great explanation of it
M: Yeah, I mean you know when.. S: Spaghetti rice
M: Yeah
S: I wonder how many people are appalled by the idea of spaghetti rice. But I think you totally, totally nailed it.
Do you like spaghetti, you like rice. One guess what we got for you
M: I have tried to make these before. Okay, like I want to do Martina's Midnight Munchies, but I f*cking suck
I don't know how anyone does it. I looked at 'Cooking with Dog'
She just does it with like total ease and I'm like, okay I get it you're older than me,
you've been cooking for a long time. Just gotta keep practicing.. Mix up is great. Scrambling parts.. awesome
And then suddenly it just turns into like.. hard cardboard. It's like I don't know this lush thing that they're doing
Jajangmyeon
S: (excited) Is it Jajangmyeon? You know, I wanted to get it. This is called the Hayashi one
Smells like Jajangmyeon M: and the crunchy onions..
S: Like black bean sauce
M: But it's not, it's like a gravy sauce, but it tastes to me like Jajangmyeon
Right. I know, a gong just went off in your head when you had that, right?
Jajangmyeon.. is a korean black noodle.. We did like a whole video about it
S: Jajangmyeon is like Spaghetti with black bean sauce
That's this side and this is spaghetti with tomato sauce. But instead of spaghetti, they have rice and egg on it.
M: Why not? And pickles on the side just like when we had Korean pizza and it came with pickles.
(shocked) Are they sweet? Oh my god, that was a whole bane of our existence. Try it
S: Not my style of pickle
Omurice actually stands for 'Omu' which is Omelette and 'Rice' which is.. rice.
Now, this is a form of Yōshoku which is kind of like western-style food.
You sometimes see like a Japanese style spaghetti, hot dogs and ketchup and what not
It's not really that like authentic spaghetti. It's their own version of it, and it's delicious
Omurice though, I've never actually seen omelette rice anywhere in North America. Is this a European thing?
I've seen omelettes M: like France does those omelettes
S: Right, I've seen lots of fluffy omelettes, but I've never seen omelettes on rice, so I'm not sure,
who got the idea of this being western food M: I'll tell you what I think this is
Some drunk dude had way too much old rice in the fridge. They were super hungry..
he had a can of tomatoes and he had like a leftover bag of cheese, and he was like 'I don't know'
and he threw in some onions and mushrooms. This is like the 'pantry pasta' that I make.
S: Yes! M: When we have no food in the house
we always have garlic or always have some onion that's like glowing a sprout. That we're like should we eat this?
We're like..,we're gonna S: We're gonna
M: And then you try and peel it and it's like.. ah.. it's like so bad and we're like 'It'll be fine in the center'
We always have shimeji mushrooms in the house and I just want to mention if you know the word shimeji
That's because when we went to the cat cafe, when Simon shaved off half his beard
I took him to a cat cafe and there was a really cute cat and his name is Shimeji
and I thought was the cutest thing ever and then I found out it means mushrooms
Why was I talking about Shimeji? Oh my god the jet leg is hitting in for me
I don't ever get tired from jet like I get like.. S: crazy
M: crazy. I'm pretty sure.. S. I don't know do you get more energetic than this?
And in the snail was like but if I'm in the shell the shell shouldn't matter if it's painted blue
It's like a Sailor Moon metaphor
Which is why I was trying to say to Simon that the important thing about Omu and Rice coming together..
What were we doing again?
(Music)
It's got a little garlic- I'm gonna try that out
I know that we focus a lot on like high-end food and we really talk about the history. But this is just comfort food.
Look.. we are very jet lagged and very out of it
And sometimes you just want something junky. And you know what Omurice kinda does that for me?
And that's what I'm feeling right now. And I'm digging this. I'm gonna sprinkle on some garlic.
And if anybody tells me 'You're eating it wrong'.. you can meet me in the parking lot for an ass-whooping. Alright?
M: and by ass-whooping he'll fall asleep and maybe hug you a bit
S: No hug.. M: He's a very good hugger
M: Don't hold yourself, you're gonna fall asleep
S: Martina actually stole some of my eggs
M: Snoozers be losers.
S: Snoozers be losers. Remember that everyone
M: He literally got his beard shaved today and said he fell asleep in the middle of shaving (laughing)
a man is holding a deadly razor to your throat and you fall asleep?
S: Okay, getting your beard trimmed in Japan.. isn't just here
He actually shaved my forehead. No joke. He shaved my forehead
He actually saved all around my ear and inside my ear
He shaved the top and outside of my nose and cut a lot of my nose hairs
M: You were looking fresh
S: when you're getting your face done, it's not just here. They do everything here in Japan
M: How's your butthole?
(laughing)
(mumbling).. I'm so tired
(laughing)
M: I went to physio. That's what I did when you got your beard trimmed. I put my hip back in
and I'm really happy cuz it hurts so much
I would have thought that you've worn yourself out from that 10 minutes of pekingese dog statue shopping
and 'mans not hot rapping' which we're gonna include right now this video
(rap music)
M: 2+2 is 4. We're singing is 'mans not hot' S: That's not the song
M: Isn't it? S: Nope..
M: is it 'mans not hot' S: different song
M: Really? I thought it starts of with like.. S: it's a similar song, you're just a song resist
M: That's not true. How does it go for real? S: Honestly, that's not it. (British accent)
M: Well, what's the rest of the song? S: It's not.. It's not it love (British accent)
M: are you trying to do a British accent? S: don't you understand love..
M: Oh my god, I'm so sorry to all of our British viewers.
I'm never gonna show any of the 'Dan's' that we know, this. Cause every 'Dan' we know is from Britain
Hey, stop naming your kids 'Dan' if you're from Britain, it's an issue for us. We don't know how to sort our friends
S: we don't..eh. we don't know how to film a video either. What are we doing?
S: This was supposed to be a video on Omurice. What are we doing? M: I don't know.. just accept it, it's a crazy video
Once stuffed I gotta say I think eh.. that's about it for this video because my tummy is so full
and that made me sleepy
S: So that's it for this weeks small and weird video. If you wanna see some of our more weird outtakes on this
because we're very jet-lagged and very out of it click on the link here
And if you wanna see.. What the fuck else? (laughs)
Shaving.. right? I forgot what I'm saying. If you wanna see.. ahhhh.. I don't... ahhhh
S: I try again.. (laughs)
