Do you agree with our rankings? Let's keep it civil in the comments 😉🍣

Sorry my palate is not that sophisticated 😁 I mean.. my favourite food is bread guys!! hahaha

Chris Broad must be quivering! Yakitori as a B-tier!?! Get some on the street markets!

Should have gotten the entire Tokyo Creative crew together to rate their most loved and hated Japanese foods and made a day of it. Too many amazing and not so amazing Japanese food options for this video to cover.

My half Japanese friend got me to try Natto and I described it as, Smelling like rotting garbage with the consistency of lumpy snot. So Emma was spot on.

Love the Australian accent coming out strong with Sarah

We should get a part two on some lesser known foods! Jingisukan and unagi are some of my personal favorites since moving to Japan. Overall, agree with these rankings. Can’t believe Umeshu almost got done dirty 😂

Emma and Sarah are the best 😂❤

Where would these end up being ranked? Karaage, Onigiri, Takoyaki, Dango, Curry, Katsu, Yakitori, Tempura and any others you can think of for another edition of this ranking?

The ramen and yakiniku rankings are crazzyyyy

love watching these great gals ranking so many foods honestly I think they are mostly on the money with a few exceptions here and there props to sarah for liking natto

Trash taste boys are gonna flip. I want a group debate with emily and daidus 😂

I absolutely loooooooove how honest this review is!!! ❤❤❤❤

... and now I'm going to be singing Mambo No. 5 in my head all day, thanks. 🤣💀

I used to have a Doraemon ice shaver as a kid. Man, I loved that thing. I'd just eat it plain because I loved using it so much.

For relaxing times.. Sarah & Emma. Thank You for presenting various options!

I love umeshu with ice😊and ginger high ball by fried karaage😊

❤once again my favorite duo. Just Love these two. 😊

This such a perfect Sunday video to watch..

Many train bento have heaters. Those are the bomb..

Thank you for the fun stream, I'd love a second entry with less known items/live taste testing.

It is interesting to know different people's take on Japanese food. I suggest doing a ranking between someone who lives in Japan, someone who has stayed in Japan for quite a while, and a newbie who's been in Japan for a short time.

I can't take this seriously after Ramen in C.

It seems that Sarah has more shibui (mature) taste than Emma. But how does she feel about shiokara (fermented salted fish guts)?

this list is craaaaaazy

I think we have different tastes on a lot of things. Chestnuts, highball, etc yes! Conbini bento you are right, but homemade bento.... much higher tier. I agree with okonomiyaki! I also really like a good bowl of ramen but I wouldn't have it everyday since I don't think that'd be healthy. So far I think mochi is just overrated. Yeah... it's chewy & very one note? Needs something else for me. There's better traditional sweets. One of my fav japanese-only styles is sesame ice cream. The ones I've tried in the US all have coconut in them and it ruins the smoky sweet flavor.

I literally bought Japanese sauce from target to get the full experience of an okonomiyaki because I’ve been using eel sauce 😂

I have been watching TC's videos for a long time and love them, watching you guys travel around Japan, take in the sights and eat everything in sight. ;-) In addition to these fun things, though, have you ever considered a series in which you interview Japanese scientists working in different fields, technologists working on who knows what...In other words, the hidden side of what has established Japan's reputation as a leader in science and technology.

I agree w most but i need to try more udon dishes and the okonomiyaki w mochi would be the next food to eat when I visit Japan again. U did not rate onigiri and takotaki.

Do a ranking of wafuu western/foreign foods, like curry rice, tamago sando, doria, melon-pan, etc etc

I didn't realise you were from Brisbane Emma!!! Haha definitely recognised that pic of Hakataya in Garden City 😂

Hi Emma! I never liked chestnuts either until I tried 'kestane şekeri' it's Turkish candied chestnut they are cooked in a syrup and are not dry but retain a crumbly texture. I love them. I wonder if they sell them in Japan! I am curious if you would like this variation.

For the dishes I have tried, I can agree with this chart. Would love to try Kakigōri, but I'm not sure I could survive the Japanese summer heat to get myself there to try it 🥵☠️ Maybe Hokkaido 🤔 I'm an Autumn person 🍁✨💜 I'm not sure the editor is but they made me laugh 😂

Yuzushu is my all time favourite Japanese drink - I do have a soft spot for Umeshu at times but Yuzushu is my go-to :D.

How about doing one with yoshoku genre food? Yoshoku food is under-represented in Japan food reviews likely because they are often seen as weird spins on Western and European dishes . That very divisive dish: Spaghetti Naporitan. But I love korokke. 😋

It's a fair list. You guys are so respectful, how can anyone hate on the choices? For me as a foreigner, we don't have a lot of good ramen, udon, skewers, sushi and even if we did, it would cost us an arm and a leg. Toriki for me was amazing since the quality isn't as bad and for 2, would only pay 5000 yen. Had premium ones as a set for 3500 for 2. Where as if I went to an American one, it would cost 150$ (21,900 Y) since they are scarce. I stumbled across the best sushi of my life in a random small sushi conveyor belt in Shinjuku and spent 2900 yen (19$) but had sushi in the States and pay 70$ (10,000 Y) for myself. So all the noodles skewers sushi for me become S tier/A tier xD

I enjoy these the most while having a beer.

feel the same way about 豚骨ラーメン。I have friends visit and that's ALL they want to get back to back to back, and just ramen in general. Feel like after living in Japan it doesn't become bad but all those cravings went away... Same with like all the noodle dishes haha Also for 駅弁、It really depends on the area... A lot of the reason why they're popular is regional ingredients or popular shops. What happens with most people being turned off from them is yes, the obvious marketing and dishes that are available to people who just quickly glance are fried, not as healthy etc... But the premiere ones are usually wrapped and stocked within their own respective area which REQUIRES you to seek them out. it's a blessing and a curse (you always can find them, harder to find). But some companies take pride in their dishes being colder like you said, same with common commercial ones that come in the めんち or そぼろ variety... Cold isn't always bad (I also love cold pizza so I might be weird :p). Either way, 駅弁 i totally get isn't a premiere meal either way, but I also think there's an 駅弁 for everyone >:)

Emma and Sarah make me so happy

I've been exploring cooking for myself. This year, I asked my hubby to buy me a tamagoyaki pan for my b'day, id tried cooking it in a western round frying pan, but it was too hard to roll. He got it for me and ooooo how does it taste even better when cooked in the tamagoyaki pan? Same method, just more awkward to roll in a eound pan. Last time i cooked it, i tried it with seasoned kombu and the flavour was so good! Next time, i want to add shredded surimi as well. One day, I will get the chance to visot Japan and try everything for reals

Tbh I would try and eat everything

Can u do it by different regions? Like don't eat these foods in Hokkaido to Okinawa.

Unexpected Mambo No. 5 = instant like. There's a lot here I still need to try...but my options are unfortunately limited where I am, unless I drive 2+ hours. I do love some udon, though...or really any sort of dish with meat and noodles :P .

LOL Emma, Emma...anko not unko, hilarious...beans beans the magical beans 😄i don't mind Azuki beans but not when they're chunky though

Agreed that there’s not enough torched sushi out there !

Udon > Soba > Ramen Emirichu approves while TT boys are spilling their drinks xD

Yakiimo 🍠 for the win!

Lot of my favoits are missing from the list....

Not too savage. Torikizoku does have good skewers, especially the liver, heart and chicken meatballs with cheese. And i normally do not eat heart. And juicy liver that's not dry as a shoe's exterior...just great! Although I like a Nikka highball, i had a good amount of lemon and calpis chuhais in Tokyo and Osaka. Yes i went in August despite the warnings of the chaotic duo and Chris' book

It sounds like Sarah and I have completely opposite palates xD

A real Sophie's choice for Emma!

Highball = “Japanese food”??? And red beans > ramen??? No way!

I've only tried one brand of Umeshu here in the USA and for me it would be solid-S-tier.

You girls are just the best! I love the rule breaking with the double S tiers at the end! 🤣👍🏻

Mambo number 5. Thanks for the earworm

Interesting list. Most of these don't exist where I'm from so quite curious how they taste. Particularly those thicc noodles (udon?). I'll take my sweet time enjoying the food if I ever end up in Japan

Here in Fukuoka…steer clear of any chain shops. You’ll save money, and get the real deal. Especially with yakitori and yakiniku. Ramen too. No English menus, no one speaks English. Just take a chance if you can’t speak the language. You’ll enjoy it so much more.

I love japanese food, but ramen it's the best, always!!!! Not for everyday obviously, but it's the choosen one for special days!!!

Excellent meme-worthy editing. I do like Eki-ben, but they're not the best..... but I like them!

What about curry? a classic Katsukare? We needed more dishes (takoyaki, dango, melonpan, tempura, edamame...) to get a complete view of all the good tastes....🤤

Very surprised with the Bento rating. I think it's because I don't mind eating cold food (as long as there's no white grease).

Unpopular opinion, 1 shot Nihonshu 1 glass/schooner of Sapporo or Asahi is so good like 1 shot of Nihonshu and Calpis. Fruity nihonshu though, Jikon Junmai (orange bottle) is my favourite when paired with fish or sashimi.

Shaved ice s tier is wild to me haha. I bet if it was later in the list it wouldnt be there

y'all should not be allowed to tier list.

if u find matha highball tht slaps

Try eating natto like this: - Prepare natto as usual - Prepare canned fish/cook bacon &/ minced meat. - Cook udon/maitake udon - cool - Cut avocado, cook sliced shiitake mushrooms + enoki mushrooms +/shimeji mushrooms [- Add cooked edamame + pitted olives] - Wash mini tomatoes - Prepare a white sauce [- Cut tofu into cubes] - Combine udon/maitake udon with other ingredients [add kimchi] & enjoy.

Don't mind me just silently judging Sarah 😂

natto japanese vegemite

Japanese food seems like the wild west sometimes

What about karage chicken, gyodon, katsudon, shabashaba, konkatsu, and tempura? Part2?

It was interestingto watch and hear a little of your opinions (some of which I agreed with), but my biggest issue was with how broad the categories were! I think that's why you had too many at the top, you need to split up things like ramen and green tea. Made me think about how I would rank certain things, though. For example, I'm definitely S or A for soba, most ramen types are A or B, but a lot of udon has been C tier for me (the sides, sauce/broth, or toppings can save it, but the noodles themselves are low)

Natto is the best for me... I know if you have are "sensitive" to weird textures it might not be for you but I personally love it. It's my favorite food in the world.

Visiting Japan for the first time in April and since my budget is not hefty I expected to survive on Bento. Now I'm bit worried :D

how about curry? 🍛

Hey now sake has to be S tier, it's amazing when served hot there's no drink quite like it.

Highball and I have a date in Oct. 😂

I eat a can of miso soup once every other day. I save unbelievable amounts of money AND I'm losing more weight than when I was on chemo.

我10月到东京上语言学校，有什么平台租房最便宜呢？

i agree with emma, i tried natto once and it tasted like i swallowed my own pheglm

sorry Emma i'm on Sarah side

Thanks for a great list, but you missed: Sukiyaki w/ raw egg (A tier) Tonkatsu (B tier) Tempura (B tier) Gyudon (B tier) Curry (C tier for Curry) and the Classic Konbini egg salad sando!! (S tier) (and I think Matcha should ba A tier)

My favorite food is tacos. Real "Mexican" style tacos. I'd be very sad without them in my life.😂 And, Mexican Street Corn.🌮🌮🌮🌽

You missed mentaiko 😂

Ramen isn’t all heavy (have you heard of Shio ramen?, also summer ramen exists that’s cold, IMO ramen is A at the least but personally S tier

I would put sushi higher :)

Japan's food tierlist can be considered as like "Food that tastes too good to believe" or "What is this abomination". Nothing in between.

Not putting ramen as S tier is a crime for sure.

💖💖💗💗💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💗💗

Tempura?

Nice video but some WILD rankings here.

Natto is awesome

Sake is not a spirit. Is fermented rice. A spirit might be added, to make it more palatable and balanced, but ironically those ones are the ones with less abv

Natto S Tier. I could eat it every day

Lowkey want Sarah's hat. Worried about her liking natto though....

Ah you two didn't do nabe.

Kushikatsu?

Okonomiyaki really was a giant hit and miss for me. It was like a half-raw savory pancake, and who actually likes not baked through pancakes? its super weird, D tier

can somebody paste the list? I stopped the video after Ramen at B tier

I waited for karaage.... and waited.... and waited.....

Curry?
