My Favorite Japanese Home Delivery Foods in Tokyo

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 Michael 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 because 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 learning from are local to this area 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 check out the hold my miso merch and if you want to see what I'm doing on the daily check out my Instagram account so without further ado let's get our Japanese delivery food on number one truffle beef

ski Aki rice from Japan ochio 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 bag has been broken one thing about the egg is that it's just so orange color the eggs

so beautiful to me sometimes when it's that orange you can feel like it's really rich and like nutritious how look how big these pieces of meat are it's just lovely pieces you can see that truffles they're taking a ride within me just a test because of that egg

yolk just flip this around here I don't know if you guys can see that to see them 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

rest okay they're just gonna have to take a bite of this might get messy in here holy damn 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 richest 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 sketchy you can taste kind of the soy sauce and the dashi sometimes you'll have sake 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 again there's a little bit more on

the expensive side but we're doing this for you guys just showing you what's up here in Tokyo Michael just found out the price before I continue on I wanted to give a quick shout-out to our sponsor of book sue during this time their support makes all the difference

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 [Music] 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 it's not that bad staying home to be

honest with you Michael and I have been cooking a lot well Michael has been cooking like I've been eating a lot we do try to cook a lot of the time these days when Michael gets kind of tired or doesn't want to cook or we're just like busy

editing videos that are filming and doing other stuff then we just use uber eats and it's just so easy and this is nicaya moment taiko I just had to I'm getting kind of full so we'll leave this one for later so those are my top picks let me
