00:00:04 John Daub: Welcome to an ancient Japanese town. This is Omi Hachiman. And that is Kevin Riley, king of Osaka. He has many various nicknames and he's wearing a mask. The times that we live in. I'm going to take you on an adventure around this area. I'm still waking up by the way. We did find everybody who didn't catch last time, the Two Rabbits Hut, which is a little restaurant here that defies gravity. I couldn't understand why this place was here in the middle of nowhere, but it's no longer the middle of nowhere. So it was a good restaurant. We had some hamburgers in there a couple nights ago.

00:00:52 John Daub: But this is an ancient town. Omi Hachiman goes back centuries. What I like about it is that it really hasn't changed that much over the years. The people here like to keep it very traditional and local, which is a reason why it should be on anybody's itinerary. We walked around a little bit in the last live stream a couple of days ago, but this time we're going to get a deeper look, thanks to Kevin being here and this bridge. You jumping in? Let's go for a swim, man. I'm going to have my coffee. I need something to wake up. I'm not going for a swim.

00:01:44 Kevin Riley: I'm not going for a swim, man. I'm not going for a swim, dude.

00:01:44 John Daub: We're going to take you into the shrine a little bit. There's a big torii gate (Shinto shrine gate). Let's look over at the cable car or the ropeway. It's very interesting. This town is named after the big Japanese cedars that grew in the Himure Hachiman shrine locality. It was located at the foothill where the Hachiman castle stood alongside the moat. Interesting.

00:02:10 John Daub: Map shows it all right. Let's get a move on. Follow those people and when we do see other people, couples we walk by them, we'll be wearing our masks because that's what we should do. This is a really beautiful walk here along the river. You could actually go down. You don't have to go up. I walked this way last time. Let's go down along the riverside. Yeah, it's such a pretty clean town.

00:03:13 John Daub: Just careful where you step. This looks like there could be snakes here, but if you look over to the canal, the water looks really clean today because it didn't rain yesterday and that sediment which had been making the waterways of Biwako (Lake Biwa) really cloudy has started to finally settle down. Now you can see how clean the water is, almost clean enough to drink. Would you drink that?

00:03:43 Kevin Riley: Um, I'm gonna pass that one. Yeah, take a zero. This is why we have beer. Beer is safer than water. It's a good point.

00:04:05 John Daub: Wow, look, there's a little walkway here. Spiders, anybody? I saw fish. Oh, there's a spider. Keep going. Should have taken the high road.

00:04:23 Kevin Riley: Did you come this way before, Kevin? Yeah, this morning you took the low road. I picked the lower road, you did. Yes, I did.

00:04:34 John Daub: You're gonna keep going? You can keep going low road if you want. I'm gonna take the high road. See, that spider was yellow. Oh, we had those in Mino Park. They all wanted to do that. It's a little bit black. Yeah, they're scary looking but they're harmless.

00:05:00 Kevin Riley: They seem harmless but they still look horrible.

00:05:05 John Daub: Let's see if we could find one. Find a cicada. Can you see one? Cicada or cicada? They're so loud. Semi (cicada) much easier to say. Yeah, just say semi. I'll see if I find one. They are huge, they're really big when you see them. Yeah, I had one bump into me once. They're not very good navigators. They slam into you. They throw a rock at me, a little stone, bang, in the side of the head. They're heavy. They are pretty heavy. We saw a couple of them before. This is like the peak. It's a beautiful sound. You hear it on TV in winter and it instantly makes you think summer is here. They've gone up into the trees. We'll look for them, okay? We'll try to find one.

00:06:10 John Daub: All right, let's get up here. This time we're going to take a left instead of a right. For those joining us, welcome to Omihachiman, which is a really beautiful town in the middle of Wagyu country. It's a beautiful torii. That's an old school that cost 6,000 yen 150 years ago. That's more like 150,000 or $200,000 or something. Maybe more. To the shrine and the ropeway we go.

00:07:04 John Daub: Oh, she gave you something. It's around the corner there. Oh, the hanko (personal seal) place? The hanko place, yeah. I met him the other day. He's a super nice guy. He makes super unique and artistic hankos, but he does them hand crafting it. You can watch him do it. He's really good at it. Here, watch your step here. This is like a highway. What a view. I like the greenery on the sides. They really made it beautiful. It really is beautiful.

00:08:23 John Daub: What is really beautiful about this town is the buildings around it. It's all made out of wood, and you have this black and brown combination, which goes so well with this green, right? Kanazawa had the same combination, black, brown, and matcha green, but this is more of a pine green. As you can see right here. Beautiful matcha. They're starting to open up the shops here. The thing about staying here is that a lot of the shops are closed by 8 p.m., and unless they're geared as restaurants, they're closed at like 4 or 5. So it goes to sleep early.

00:09:16 John Daub: Where's this rig going? Was that a Rolls Royce that just went by? No, that was a Rolls Royce! What?! So this looks like the entranceway to the shrine. We're gonna go take a look-see inside, and there's a ropeway to the top. Do you see that up there? Yeah. There's a cable car coming down right now. That's where the castle used to be, but it's all a ruin now. Good morning, everybody! Welcome to Omi-Hachiman, Japan! Shiga Prefecture! Very, very close to Kyoto! Much quieter. And much quieter, except with all the cars. Except here, but along the river, it's such a nice... Oh, there it goes! There it goes! That's the cable car, or the ropeway. Alright, let's enter into the shrine here... Uh, temple. You can tell it's a temple. There's no torii gate. It's made with a big wooden gate like this, and usually there's oni (demons) in the left and the right, or somebody to protect. Oh, there's a big gate. Oh, this is so beautiful! This is beautiful! Wow! Did you come here, Kevin? This morning? No, I didn't get over to here. Look at this! This is amazing! I mean, there's nobody here, really. It's quiet. Pretty deserted. This is the reason...

00:11:53 John Daub: Oh, here it's down this way, sure. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's where the Rolls Royce was that I saw. Another parking lot. How's your Japanese, Kevin?

00:12:05 Kevin Riley: Sagicho Matsuri (Sagicho Festival) no... Jiki (upcoming)? Yeah, I don't know.

00:12:21 John Daub: Coming where? Hey, Tony, welcome! New traveler! He's trying to be very quiet and respectful. Should we go to the left first? Sure. What does your T-shirt say? That's right. It's the one you should wear when you're drinking an evening cocktail. It's a little bridge thing. You can see the Shinto building on the side. Kevin, this looks like a shrine. Because of the... This is a shrine. Temmangu (Temmangu shrine). So you could see Shinto and Buddhism sometimes are combined in the same place. It looks like here. But what I like about this one here is very much... This town, Omi Hachiman, is very much connected with Wagyu. And you can see, it looks like they have some kind of shrine to the beast here. And we ate a lot of them yesterday. But a lot of respect for those. Yeah, that looks exactly like the Wagyu that I massaged.

00:13:53 Kevin Riley: I massaged him here. Like this. They love that. If you could do it with two hands and you're in rocket mode. They love that.

00:14:06 John Daub: But yeah, let's get to the beautiful... I love the moss. Japanese moss is so beautiful too. Rocks on ground. Covered on old rock walls. That's right. This is a beautiful little bridge. Do you see this connecting the two. I thought that this was pretty outstanding. A little wooden bridge. All right. We're on the hunt for breakfast too. If we find something to eat, we're gonna stop in and take you with us. I'm okay not going to the ropeway. Did you want to go to the top? What do you want to do, man? Wander around. Breakfast at some point. Yeah, I don't think we're going to have a restaurant on the top. This building here looks like it probably has a done duty or something, but it must be a duty you want to carry because it's a step. That's why they have the big door. Oh, there's like a portable shrine inside there. Yeah. Omikoshi (portable shrine). So the big portable doors are probably because of omikoshi, where they have it at festivals. You can tell from the doors. When we take the little kami (god/spirit), the god, out and party with them, bounce them around a lot. Look at the kitsune (foxes). That's foxes. It's good for business. It's Inari (Inari shrine). Yeah, Inari.

00:16:42 John Daub: Hope the signal's okay, everybody. I can't believe we're out in the countryside live streaming. Hopefully it's a beautiful 720p. The YouTube videos have been uploading in HD, which is good. Afterwards. Wow, that is a massive cedar tree? Look at that. I'm surprised it doesn't have any CD around it. Yeah, Bobo, you can't stream in 4K on a mobile live stream. It's impossible. YouTube doesn't allow it. And the reason is if the signal goes weak, then it gets so pixelated. That's why 720p is a safe size for mobile live streaming. I just wish I could save it internally and then upload a HD 4K copy later because the camera can do 4K.

00:17:52 John Daub: Did you want something to drink, Kevin? We got a couple of stay hydrated super chats. Oh, they got Sprite. What? I never see Sprite in vending machines here. It's the first time. Coca-Cola Energy. Have you had that? No, I haven't. Interesting. I might get a water or tea. You want anything? I just have water back there. I'm fine. Okay. I will hold out for a hot coffee after. Oh, hot coffee. Yes, please. I haven't had the courage to try this yet. It's coffee jelly. Oh, did you want it? No. I can get you. I don't have that courage yet. No courage. You put your hand in a spider web, but you won't drink coffee jelly. All right, let's go this way.

00:19:03 John Daub: So for those of you joining us, you're looking at the asphalt in Omihachiman City right now, which is in the middle of Shiga Prefecture, a beautiful town that we've been spending the night in. It's full of lots of artisans and craftsmen. Woodworking would be more of an artisan. Yeah, possible. All I know is that they got a lot of them here. Cool stuff. I really think if you're coming to Kyoto, you should come up here for a bit. Just escape the crowds, the tourists. Get out here where it's quiet and enjoy the food. It's absolutely beautiful out here. They got some Omi beef for 1,600 yen. That's cheap. Oh, wow. That's a good looking bento. Shabu-shabu (hot pot). Gotta look for breakfast. There was a cafe up there. Gotta stay hydrated. We walked this way before. This is such a beautiful sight here. You know what would be really pretty? If there was a boat that went right underneath us.

00:20:54 Kevin Riley: Can you go get one and do it? Okay. Just grab one from over there. I'm sure they won't mind at all. Yeah, they won't mind at all.

00:21:02 John Daub: You will bail me out often, right? I'll bail you out. You'll have to catch you first. I think you're pretty wily that way. What a root tile. Long time no see. That's the vending machine that I got the sake from. You liked that, right? Last night? It was good? Yeah, it was nice. Let's stop and rest. So shout out to Kevin Riley here. His channel is Kuma's Kitchen. K-U-M-A-K-I-T-C-H-E-N. Kuma's Kitchen. And he's cooking up good stuff all the time. Let's go to the center of town where there's... We're trying to get him up to 10,000 subscribers. The man produces videos like six times a week. It's pretty often.

00:22:27 Kevin Riley: What did you cook last time on the channel? Well, let's see. Last week? So yeah, last week was the Mediterranean bread and salami salad. That was really good. We really enjoyed that for dinner. And leftovers the next day in my lunch. Coming up on Monday, I've got... It's again Mediterranean. Oh, yeah. Mediterranean tuna salad sandwich. Messy to eat because everything keeps falling out on me. But boy, is it good. So, yeah. Look forward to it. Oh, and try out the bloody shogun. It's like a Bloody Mary, but Japanese style.

00:23:15 John Daub: See, he gets all powerful when he's holding the stick. Yeah, that's right. All right. Yeah, the bloody shogun drink looked pretty funky because Kevin's holding a samurai sword in the thumbnail. You look like you're going to slash someone with that. That's not a real sword, is it? We cut you, but it's not the real sword. It's a real thing, though. It was actually given to me by my neighbor when he left. This is the hanko shop. So, yeah, I really recommend that you guys come for a stop here. It doesn't open till 11:30, though. That's a shame. I wanted to take you in and show you. But in this little window here, he opens up the curtains and you can see him working on the hanko, which are traditional... Traditional hanko, too. It's insane. That's a piece of bamboo. You can see the link there. And inside of the top of the bamboo, he will carve out a stamp perfectly. He looks like that. Do you see him wearing a hat in the window with a light just tinkering with it? I'll put something on Instagram, the way he works. It's incredible. But this is the shop again. And there's a here as well. So you can order your hanko if you want. And there's the website. Very cool. It's a little pricey, but I think it's a good deal. It's worth it because people will buy these hankos as an heirloom. Older people, grandmothers, grandfathers will often buy the hanko and give it to their grandson, which they'll have after they pass away. They're going to have this hanko with them. So it's something that's very prized and something that's a part of who you are. That's your signature pretty much. There's a marker representing something important. There's an Okada logo here. Okada somebody here.

00:25:28 John Daub: Like when I stop at, I had to move away from that dead zone. Signal was gone. All right. Let's get out of this lag zone. The lag is real. All right, folks. We're gonna bail, and see if we can get to another area here. Walking around the streets of Omihachiman is pretty amazing because the thing is oh it's black all right we're back um this over here is a uh another antique shop and uh that's pretty neat there in the corner that's a very old baby carriage i haven't seen anything like this ever in my life it looks like you see old movies yeah the nanny pushing the hand bouncing a little bit listen listen old uchiwa (fan) uchiwa like summer fans hey you hear that sound it's the furin (wind chime) that's one those are supposed to make you feel like it's cool in summer because you know there's a breeze out yeah i don't know does it help you yeah really not really oh there's a sake brewery you can tell from the uh from the ball out in the front yeah but it's a little bit more of a cool thing yeah it's a little bit more of a cool thing the ball they put it out and it's green and when it turns brown that means the sake is done right yep it's aged nicely oh there's a cat wildlife let's go find find that cat nice little temple there's loads of little temples along the road here.

00:28:13 John Daub: Put this towards breakfast you got it we're looking right now for breakfast irvan is here get root beer and we'll look for um i have you have the lauren academy welcome to travelers i have they have um uh in tokyo they have dr pepper in like every machine yeah all the coke machines you'll never find that in seijuishi in osaka only in only in uh coca-cola machines in tokyo yeah like i love this house look at the roofs on these what is called on the top the japanese roofs kawara (roof tiles) kawara they are the clay tiles yeah and there's different names to different ones which don't ask me i forget them there's like the edge ones and there's the capping ones all that but yeah kevin knows construction and cooking it's true let's go this way well thanks to construction i'm here that's right wouldn't be then otherwise that's right kevin came about 24 25 years ago right yeah 24 yeah 24 years ago for construction work.

00:29:47 Kevin Riley: Exactly. I built a lot of houses for five years here. Yeah. Until the economy went down. At the end of the bubble era. Yeah, it was. I kind of wish I'd come here a couple years before because people were getting paid crazy amounts. Oh, yeah. We got paid a pretty crazy amount, but I heard that people before us were getting quadruple at one time. Whoa. Oh, that's insane. It was still pretty crazy when you got here, though, wasn't it? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was getting paid pretty decent. Paid pretty decent. Compared to Canada, you know, for us it was a lot of money. People probably was partying a lot, too, right? Oh, yeah. All that cash. Namba. Bubble era cash. Oh, Namba. Must have been insane in the 1980s. Late, early 90s, late 80s. End of the bubble era. Japan had amazing prosperity. There was one point before I got here. I heard from people that they were eating like a plate of gold leaf covered sushi. What? So, whereas we pay like, you know, maybe two, three hundred yen for a plate of sushi, they were paying five thousand yen.

00:30:56 John Daub: See root beer in here? We're checking for Irvan. No root beer. Yeah, false coffee and stuff. No root beer. Sorry. I do like the manhole covers. I do like the manhole covers here. That's up the canal that we walked by. The bridge. Yeah. There's the bridge. Right. And then over there, there's that nice statue of the kid giving it to a teacher, I think. All right. There's that one bus a day. Wow. There's one bus a day. That's it. We saw the bus. I don't even know why they have one bus a day. Wow. That's rare.

00:32:11 John Daub: I think there was a cafe that wasn't too far from the two rabbits. Oh, yeah. Right. So, Omihachiman is centuries old, this town is. And, you know, a lot of the buildings, the one that with the hanko guy was, that building's over 200 years old, he said. Which is pretty amazing for a wooden building to have that kind of history. Then I asked him if he lived there and he said, no, he lives in a different area. But I wouldn't, I don't know. I'd be a little scared to live in a 200 year house. Too many ghosts for you? Well, you never know. You can't see them. I just don't want the ghosts to be there. They should go somewhere else. Go to some other house. All right. Let's take a left. This one looks ancient. So we're going down ancient streets and Kevin is giving us his input. Tell us about this ancient street. Which I've never been on. Yes.

00:33:15 Kevin Riley: Well, they don't know that. Just make it up. Okay. Oh, well, this is where the samurai used to come all the time. They go shopping down the street here. And then just over there. Used to be bar fights. That one over there. A bar fights. Yeah. A couple of times when I was a clown would come over. I was horrible in those days. Blood everywhere. You know, when the, once the Katanas came out. Yeah. That was it.

00:33:50 John Daub: Sounds like a Quentin Tarantino movie. Exactly. Well, here's a kura (storehouse) right beside you. Oh. Oh, this is like the old storehouses. Yeah. Kura means warehouse in Japanese. Walls and protected against fire. Yeah. Because remember all the other buildings here could burn quite easily. So they had to put all their valuables in the kura. It is nice wood. They look like they've been really well taken care of and renovated. Right? This looks new wood. This is newer. I think. Yeah. I mean, it's not super new. Newer compared to the other buildings. But you can see it's been, it's either been sun aged or they might have flamed it. Flamed it. Flame on. A lot of bike riders. There is a really beautiful cafe, but it's a 40 minute bike ride from here. Whoa. Let's check this out. Let's just go inside. It's a museum. All right. Sorry. We're back. There's a signal lag again. What are these things here? I see these sometimes on the sides of the road. They protect the wall from rain. Okay. Interesting. So, you know, the rain splashing off the bottom, it's going to, especially when you've got earthen walls. Yeah. The roof starts eating the wall. So these kind of protect it. Just that bottom area. You see them all along in the older buildings. Yeah. Can everybody see it? Can everybody see okay? We're back.

00:35:32 John Daub: DR Moid O'Sullivan for a beer run. You got it. We're going to look for something right now. That's a shop. It's not a breakfast place. There are a few breakfast places. I bought a bento two nights ago to eat for yesterday morning's breakfast. And it was really good, but I can't find that place. It's all ancient. Like the streets here. The one good thing is you really can't get lost here because this town is set up in a grid pattern. Just very much like Kyoto and the other ancient towns like Kanazawa are set up in a chaotic, chaotic roads. And there's reasoning behind it. In the samurai era, Edo Jidai (Edo period), they didn't want if you get attacked and the roads are chaotic, it's a really good defense because everyone's going to get lost, not be able to make their way to get the daimyo (feudal lord). Wow, it's beautiful. Try attacking my place in Osaka. You'll get lost. Yeah. Teradacho. Kevin's okay introducing where he lives because no one will ever find him. Good luck with that. It's pretty crazy too. Alleys. Like you have to walk through three alleys to get to your house. There's no way people are going to find you. Another old home. Yeah. This is an old house that looks like it's now a museum or something. Yeah. Ronald writes to get to Kevin's house. Just keep turning right. That'll get you there. That'll get you there in the old towns. But in towns like these, find your way back, I'm sure, in the grid pattern, you'll see something that you recognize from before. Let's walk down this. It looks like some sort of a, it's a power spot. Yeah, it says power spot. Where? Purple writing up on there. Oh, it's a power spot. Okay, let's get, let's power up over there. I don't know what you mean, but yeah. I thought it was a show thing. It doesn't look like it. Yeah. If you like these walkabouts and neighborhood tours, just give us a thumbs up and click light and see if we can get to 750 by the end of the stream because liking is loving and loving is hand. That's for the wagyu. All right, we're in the power spot, Kevin. Do you feel it? I feel like a buzzing, right? Yeah. There's a buzzing in my ears. Oh, it's the signal. It doesn't look like anything down this way. No. Same thing over there. This looks like a more modern. It's a modern building or at least it was modern. 50 years ago. Yeah. George Lopez chips in for the mayonnaise stimulus fund. Thanks, George. All right, we're going to go. Let's see if we can find that cafe. It's supposed to open at nine, so I figure it'll be open by now and maybe we can get something to eat. Oh, there's a little breeze. Do you see that mountain in the distance? That's the one that the cable car goes up to the top and that's where the old ruins are of the castle. Omi Hachiman. The Hachiman Castle ruins. You can get up there or is it up? Was it up there? I don't know because there's a sign right there saying that the only the Hachiman Castle ruins is less than a kilometer that way. That doesn't I think that takes you up to the cable car. No, I don't know. I thought it was up on the top. Yeah, that must be. That must take you. I thought it was up on the castle was up on the top there. I think so. Usually. Yeah. Yeah. It could be. It could be point seven kilometers over to the cable car, which takes you up there. Oh, okay. And it could be it. 700 meters. Yeah.

00:39:57 John Daub: Japan is still closed off to the rest of the world for most people. Even if you are a permanent resident of Japan and you left and you wanted to come back in March, you would not be able to get back. You'd have to wait. And maybe in September they're trying to come up with a plan where they can bring back some permanent residents that have families. Yeah. I mean, I've got a family here, but non-Japanese cannot come back into Japan right now. It's kind of a tough situation for several, several people that I know that went abroad and can't get back here. That's why I can't leave either. Kevin, we can't leave Japan either. Right. That's such a hardship. Can't go anywhere. Can't go anywhere. Enjoy this. Yeah. Psychasm. I get that. It took me a second. Think of those things. But friend and I were going to go to bank. I was going to go to bank in October and April. Oh, what's this? He's never been to another country. So he's going to go to Canada. What are they selling here? I walked by this shop last time. This one is a Tetsuchi something. Are these confections or? It looks like a mochi (rice cake). Mochi. Yeah. It's very hard to read. It's so swirly. Yeah. Mochi. The bottom kind of is mochi though. Yeah. That's what he has inside this pack. I guess it's like some mochi. That might be interesting. I want to get to that cafe though. Let's go. Let's go to the cafe. I think we can go. Oh, there's a temple bell. Another temple. Some really beautiful temples here. There you can see the bell. When I was at Koya-san, they rang that bell like all the time. People like to ring bells. There's no more ninjas. We were in Kita-Taka-Hiyama and Riko actually rang one of those bells. No one rang like hell. They're loud. Look at her face when it banged. She didn't expect it to be so loud. Yeah. Everybody turned their heads and looked at her. You get all hot and embarrassed. Exactly. I've had that happen before. Well, fortunately I have my camera ready. I got a good picture of her face. Nice. All right. We're going to hang a left here. Taking you through ancient town, Omihachiman. Omihachiman with Kevin Riley, long time Osaka resident, lover of adventure and wilderness. Yes. Dresses like Rambo for fun. This is everyday summer get up. Never know when you need it. You never know. That's true. If the zombie apocalypse were to happen, Kevin is ready. I'm ready. Yeah. I think you are. You got that sword. You have an AK. Beautiful town. Beautiful. It's getting hotter. I think the temperature has increased about five degrees since we started the live stream. The sun is talking quite a punch. Yeah. It's getting really hot. It's good to get some vitamin D. All right. This looks like a Wanda vending machine. No root beer, Ervan. We're still on the hunt. Yeah. Well, anything you want? No. All right. Cafe. Yeah. That's what I want. There it is. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It was closed earlier when I went by this point. Looks nice. There's an amazing light fixture, like a light shop that makes lights from copper and other industrial metals. And a lot of the restaurants here have lighting from that shop because it makes it look very much Hachiman, like very old and stylish. Wow. That lady lives there. Look at that house. She lives inside of it. That house. Looks like it's been around since the Edo period. That house. Wow. She just walked inside. Like, I live here. Kind of casual walk. If I lived there, I'd be screaming up and down like, I live in a freaking house that looks like this. Nice little steps down the river. I love this. Yeah. The canal. K-A-N-A-L. It looks like he's getting ready to ride the canals all the way down to Osaka. Sell his goods. You can hitch a ride. Yeah. You can hitch a ride. You can walk all up and down the canal walkway too. It's really nice. All right. Up we go to the cafe. See if we can find, hopefully it's open. If not, we're going to starve. Thanks for joining us on this adventure, everyone. We're not close to our 750 likes. Just give us a thumbs up if you like Street View Adventures, ancient towns of Japan. Welcome. Here comes the ancient resident. She's an ancient resident of Japan. Yes. Should ask her for more cafes. Masks on. Oh, here it is. Hey, they got the siren out. Was that on before? No. No, it wasn't. This is looking good. The mask up. The way we mask up now before walking in the store, it looks like we're getting ready to rob it, doesn't it? Yeah, we got our masks on. We're getting ready to rob the place here. All right, let's go inside. For a look see. I might end the live stream pretty soon afterwards. Because we don't have permission to film. But let's see what happens. Okay. Is it open? Egyo-chu (closed)? Egyo-chu? Yeah. Probably Junbi-chu (preparing). Come on in. Hello. Hello. Let's see. All right. So. It's good. They wrote it in English, too. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Do you want the breakfast set? It's a pleasure. Good. You want to show that out on camera? Yeah. Hey, guys. This is something we have a lot in morning set. I think I'll get a morning set. Yeah, me, too. Good deal. You want morning set? Oh, there's your coffee jelly. Yeah. Oh, wait. Can I? Zenzai (sweet red bean soup)? Zenzai? There's a chiffon cakey set and curry rice. But that's from 11. We're too early for this. Yeah. Okay. Good job. You want a drink? The coffee zenzai is kind of an interesting thing that we eat. Yeah, that's zenzai. Two morning sets, please. Coffee. I look at my stuff. So the thing that was over there that you were just looking at, that picture, coffee zenzai, that is red beans. Actually, that was just zenzai. Red beans, and they make it like a pudding in a way. You use a spoon, and you put a couple of pieces of white mochi and stuff in there. I've had it with coffee before, coffee zenzai, which sounded absolutely horrible, but it was fantastic. I couldn't believe it. The sweetness of the red beans and the coffee, somehow just mashed up. Sounds weird, but mashed up enough. Yeah. Alright everybody, have a good day. We're gonna have some breakfast, but maybe I'll livestream from the Shinkansen. I'm going back to Tokyo, he's going back to Osaka. Kevin Riley, Kuma's Kitchen. K-U-M-A, kitchen. I'll put a link in the description. Bye everybody.
