What is your favorite Japanese dish? If you enjoyed this video you may enjoy: Greek Food in Greece! (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ip6DhLx71LrGiHU.html ) or Japan Day in Düsseldorf! (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7J-i8p4tJOaqY0.html )

Dusseldorf has a Japanese district. You can have authentic Japanese food all day. And supermarkets!

Düsseldorf and the Koln area. So many memories from being stationed there in the 80's 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇩🇪🇩🇪

A Japanese prof that I tutored in English conversation years ago told me they call okonomiyaki ekonomiyaki because it is a cheap meal. I lived in Hiroshima, one of the okonomiyaki capitals of Japan.

Japan has a great food culture that should be more common throughout the western world!

My favorite Japanese food is: Ramen. Noodles in several arrangements of vegetables, meat and (in soup form) broths. So nice alternative to Italien food . . . .

After having lived in Japan for 4 years, this video makes me so damn happy, guys :D Let me add my five cents? If you want to have the authentic Okonomiyaki experience, go to Osaka or even better, Hiroshima. They know their stuff! Hiroshima especially is proud of this local specialty. Also, since you liked it so much, may I recommend Tonpeiyaki, which is basically very similar to Okonomiyaki, but the main ingredient is lean bacon or other pork meat instead of cabbage! Soo good! The Takoyaki looked absolutely like the authentic experience! Of course, the greasy, yet fishy octopus flavor isn't for everybody. This dish survives or dies based on what kind of sauces are drizzled on top. Of course there are many varities and flavors, but for the real deal, Kewpie Mayonnaise and Otafuku BBQ sauce are used. Yum, that Karaage looks amazing... although the chunks are usually much smaller in Japan and typically bite-sized. The standard batter is based on garlic, ginger and soy sauce, and if you ask me, Karaage is unlike anything Germans know in fried chicken. Insanely tasty! Better than KFC? You can't really compare it, KFC goes in a completely different direction in terms of flavor. Glad Phil liked it too! The Yakitori did not look like it's served in Japan. First, Kropoek (Crab Chips)? Those are Malay, not Japanese! Second, Deana got it absolutely right! Either you eat Yakitori on a stick (ideally freshly grilled at an Izakaya with a cold drink) or on a bed of rice! In fact, Yakitori is so popular in Japan, you find it freshly made daily in literally every Supermarket in Japan, along with other favorites like Menchikatsu (Basically a thick, round mince meat burger, that's been breaded like a Katsu - juicy, crispy, to die for!). The Katsusando looked alright. Wrong kind of breading, though. And, Deana, Katsu means cutlet, not chicken, so it's a general term! Katsu can be pork or many other meats, too. It's basically Japanese Schnitzel, although it's typically a much thicker cut than Vienna Schnitzel. I'm actually not a huge fan of Pork Katsu, because it tends to be dry and is often eaten with cabbage and rice, but no sauce. Glad you enjoyed the Chicken Version!! Sushi... I'll skip it. I don't like that very much😂 Kakigori... So yum! Perfect cold treat in Summer - much lighter than German Ice Cream, neither milk ice nor sherbet... I especially like it with fruity flavors and a bit of liquid cream, as that just makes it melt in you mouth even more! Hugs from Heidelberg! ❤

In Texas we have shops that only sell shaved ice year round! So tasty! When I was a kid we called it Hawaiian shaved ice.

I can't get enough of German, Mexican, Japanese and Italian food. Everything you tried looked fantastic. Now I'm hungry.

Always nice watching/seeing your videos

Okonomiyaki literally means "whatever you want". It can be made with anything and is traditionally used to utilize any leftovers you have in the house. Only Hiroshima Okonomiyaki has distinct recipes. I hope your dream of visiting Japan comes true one day, the (food) culture is out of this world.

OK, I dont have a japanese dish, but a korean must try: Kimchi Cheese Sandwich - it blew my mind! 😀

If you go to Japan. DO not miss OKINAWA Islands. Best!

Getting hungry while watching... 🙈

Love your videos guys!!!

Welcome to Deana and Phil’s International Food show!

You start out liking white chicken meat (McDonalds) and eventually you realize dark is juicier (and nearly impossible to overcook and ruin). I'd never dreamed of katsu on a sandwich!

I'm ready to go back to Berlin

That okonomiyaki looked reeeal weird. I've absolutely never seen it folded like this in Japan. It looked like it was attempting to be a Hiroshima style (which kind of has stacked layers, rather than being totally mixed), but it wasn't quite there. The takoyaki looked pretty good- though I'd say that "doughy" texture you were describing is pretty normal for what you can find in Japan. So many good foods in Japan!

With all of the food you both have profiled, I'm thinking that if we come to Deutschland I need to make Düsseldorf one of our destinations. Thanks for the video!

I live in Japan next door to two conbini and a food mall, and still enjoyed your Japanese food tour in Germany. Everything looks delicious. I hope you make it to Japan!

Wow! Everything looked fantastic. Wish there was a Japanese food festival in Waco. ❤️

I'm a vegetarian and I just ate half a bag of chips but this video still got me hungry o.o

Wow what a nice treat , 3 days of Japanese food , yes 😊

I hope I can try Japanese food too. I would love to visit Japan someday. I enjoy Asian cousine，since I was adopted from China. Live in US now. I enjoy watching You Tuber Life in Japan an American family living in Japan with their children.

cool

The only Asian food I like are the toasted Chow Mein noodles in a can. LOL BTW, here in Baltimore, the shaved ice cones are called snowballs.

Octopus and Eel two of my favorite Japanese sea foods! I could have Japanese foods at least once a day or more….Nori is a favorite snack of mine. If sushi and diabetes weren’t an issue for me,I’d have Sushi and Tempura everyday. It’s more pricey then other foods,but so good….Miso soup and Miso dressing,so good.

You guys have a really good nack for describing the food!!!! You always leave me hungry!!!!!

The difference with the okonomiyaki is cause the one you're talking about is osaka Style and the one you're eating at the Festival is Hiroshima style. You can get Osaka Style okonomiyaki at yaki the emon in Düsseldorf If you want more.

The prices are just crazy... 9€ for a cheap UNTOASTED!!!! toast with some Salad and 50-100g of chicken is what i would call a fraud...

Hello

Danke für euren Beitrag. Ich konnte an den Tagen leider nicht die Veranstaltung besuchen. Beim nächstenmal bin ich dabei. Lieber Gruß von Düsseldorf nach Düsseldorf. Freue mich auf eure kommenden Storys. 🫰

Would love to try Japanese food in Japan one day!!

Mayonnaise is so different everywhere you go around the world. We have many brands in the US, but typically only two flavor variations, Helman's type mayo and Miracle Whip (salad dressing?).

Great video! Looked like a glorious summer day to enjoy your new home city. Glad y'all are posting vids regularly again and hope you're both doing well ✌️

Dorayaki filled with red bean paste. Tuna Sando. Onigiri filled with tuna mayo. Karaage. Teriyaki chicken over short grain rice. So many delicious Japanese foods to eat.

Yes, it was so nice. Was only able to go on sunday but everything was sooooo good❤️ And it so weird and funny to see your videos of my hometown 😅

I am from Düsseldorf and live here and i am lucky to have these exelent japanese food very often

Love your video guys. Looks like you guys had fun. Cheers!

Your recipe is awesome and will go very high.of course it will be very tasty to eat.😋 I love it .I will definitely try it.You will tell me in the comments. How do you like my recipe?Thanks.

Takoyaki is sooo good, watching them turn them over as they cook is so fun. 🤩

When you are a german Japan-Fanboy (ok, more of an Fangrandpa^^) with an 9.-€ Ticket and to much time for himself seeing this and realizing the Day is almost over... 😕😨😭

Oh 3ow the selection is fantastic 😍 I love the salmon sushi, aesthetically it looks awesome and I love sushi

Can't go wrong with Japanese Curry

Nice Street Festival, Tonkatsu beef, and Vegetable Tempora

TAKOYAKI BEST!!!

I really enjoy all of your videos.

Bei den Takoyaki habt ihr nicht genau hingeschaut, wenn Bonito flakes auf warmes Essen gegeben werden, dann fangen sie an zu "tanzen".

Japadog is Canadian Japanese company, they are hotdogs with a Japanese food flare😁 so yummy.

Love me sum Karaage!! Looks like fun. Cheers D&P.

Food looked amazing…I love sushi 🤗

Everythings looks so delicious! I love japanese food culture. 😍

Love sushi, but now I want a deep fried roll, never had one. Love udon noodles and ramen. Really want to try the Katsu sandwich, maybe I'll try making one.

I watched your Mett meal. We always go for the. Speardable lightly smoked Mettwurst.🍹🍺

😆 I love the food wars reference, yes so good.

I never had the opporturnity to try something Japanese besides sushi, so I think sushi is my favorite Japanese meal :D oh and i love the throwback to the NordSee tasting video when you said "It tastes like the ocean!... but in a good way" :D

Geht das noch das ganze Wochenende oder ist es schon vorbei? 🤔

How do you guys find these festivals? I’d love to go to one next year ☺️

Everything looked delicious. I'm curious as to why the all menus/signs were in English?

Nein, ich dachte das Fest läuft noch 3 Tage übers Wochenende aber das ist schon vorbei und war letzte Woche. Ich hab mich schon so gefreut morgen vorbei zufahren....

Excuse me what? I worked in Düsseldorf, lived in Düsseldorf, been an avid Japan Day goer since 2013 and know a LOT of people in Düsseldorf. How in the ever living **** did I not know that there was a japanese street food festival in Düsseldorf? And its basically right were Japan Day is too. I need to go there next year and catch up with all the years I have missed. Guess I gotta save up a bit.

Hallo😃I’m Japanese and learning germane. I want you to eat yakisoba!!

Okonomiyaki is my favorite Japanese dish and top 5 dishes in the world

Mit Düsseldorf habt ihr bestimmt keine schlechte Wahl getroffen.Ein Vorteil für Leute die gerne essen gehen,weil es so international ist.Nicht nur die schon lange bestehende Japanische Kultur.Mittlerweile gibt es auch viele gute Chinesen,Inder,Vietnamesen,Thailänder,Griechen,sogar Laoten und ein Peruanisches.Auch die koreanische Küche hat sich stark verbreitet,schon 50 Meter vom Naniwa sind 2 gute.

yum yum

Just got in hadn't had anything to eat. Oh God all the stuff your eating looks delicious I'm craving Chicken 🐓! 😀

Sushi, shashimi and tempura shrimps!

The Holy Oreo 2 pieces of bacon wrapped around Oreo & deepfried painted with chocolate topped with sea salt & powered sugar then frozen $4 N.Y. State Fair

Wow amazing food 🇩🇰🙂

Nice Vlog! :)

I wanted to go to the Japan Tag this year but it didn’t work out. Someone I know who did and he said it was very full of people so I was surprised that there were not too many people in your video. Did you guys go there very early? Anyway, maybe next year I’ll manage. And I think Düsseldorf has the highest number of Japanese inhabitants not only in Germany but in Europe. BTW, my most favorite Japanese food is eel. Super yummy.

Yaki means grilled or fried

👍👍

Next time try the yakisobe, it's Japanese spaghetti, awesome.

Little Nippon Düsseldorf nice.

Have you Guys tried the indian cuisine yet? Lots of yum yum to be had 😁

I enjoy smoked eel

Will you be shooting anything other than food?

You need ginger and Wasabi with the sushi. Lifts it up

Katsu sandwich is basically a schnitzel sandwich

Number 2 and 7 🤤

Could you try vietnamese food?in your town

They’re called chopsticks, Phil! ☺️

Very nice. Is there a video showing your parents, Deanna and Phil? I wonder why we never see your families. I love when KZfaqrs help us connect more. I noticed the Israeli KZfaqrs are proud to show off famiky, friends and people in the strrets. More interesting than just the good and walks. 🍺🐞

Went to NY state fair today they had sweet potato with maple syrup & chocolate covered bacon not my jam

Great Video dear Keep.it.up we are from Pakistan

Bonito flakes

Try to make a KZfaq day, Cinema Schneider WibbelGasse. With the best japanese reporters at 16 of September.

I lived in Japan for several years. The batter is not tempura. Okonomiyaki batter is flour and corn starch and egg and water. Takoyaki batter is also not tempura batter. I love your videos but you might want to correct that. Tempura batter is soda water with a splash of alcohol and flour. Very different.

What a TREAT 😋

What is Deana’s background?

You need to find katsu curry

chicken dark meat?

Sushi

I will believe rhats its very Tasty, but the prices are much to high. 9 euro for 4 pieces chicken is redicoulous. Go too Thailand and its costs not 1 euro.

Not into Asian food, but some of those looked really good. The octopus is a turn off.

You are in Germany, how come the blackboard menu is in English?

🦍💎🧨🚀

If you love sushi, come to the United States, every Chinese buffet has all you can eat Sushi for under $20, some under $15.
