The shade when you said “I’ve just realised, they’ve used Chinese music” 😂

"chopsticks make you slow down substantially and eat less" yeah sure, if you SUCK at using them

this video called me fat in 26 different languages

“I’m George, and please don’t ask me why” We have to protect him at all costs

"they used Chinese music for this"

“So maybe I’m not Japanese” this line was really funny to me

Green Tea is really good for health. George: "Every time I go to Starbucks I order Green Tea Frappuccino" lol

it's so wholesome to see that George is still liking comments that have appeared a week ago, even though his video was posted last year

Me : They're all thin Him : Except for sumo players

I love how i can already see your opinions by the " mm" "Mmmhmh!" or " m-mm? " xD

Is it me or isn't he super adorable when he makes faces as he is reacting to the video?.... Like when he curls his lips or when he smiles... LOL He is seriously handsome.

In america when you want to be diffrent: IM GONNA BE THIN In Japan when you want to be diffrent: IM GONNA BE THICK

"They try to stay away from dishes with excess salt" Soy sauce: *exists*

"Everything is within walking distance, if you have time." - Steven Wright

Drinking game: take a shot whenever they show sushi being dipped in soy sauce.

American reaction videos: talking over the whole video British reaction videos: quietly pulling faces, then talking at the end Japanese reaction videos: unnn un un unnn un unn mmm un unmmm ummmm ununun UNNMmmmm ununn

So I'm an overweight American. I have always been so. But in preparation for going to Japan a few years ago, I went on a diet and practiced walking a lot (Something I highly recommend to anyone visiting Japan from a car culture country). I lost fifty pounds (22.68Kg) before going to Japan. I was in Japan for 3 weeks. While there I ate and drank whatever I wanted to and probably had too much of both more than once with my new found friends. However, when I got back home I checked the scales expecting to have gained weight back, but I had actually lost another 25 lbs (11.34 kg). So I think it is definitely the lifestyle and all the walking around. More evidence why I need to move to Japan for a little while. Lol I love these videos they are so much fun. They reminde me of my Japanese teachers in college going over some of this stuff and some other presumptions about Japan.

I love how 99% of the Japanese food they show is sushi xD Like....do they think that's all what Japanese eat?

“Treat food as an experience, remove distractions” Me: eating while watching this

I feel calm just watching this guy talking.

So basically “they make better food choices”, are educated about nutrition and walk more

"Using chopsticks makes you eat more slowly" clearly, this is not someone who has seen a table full of hungry teenagers and good food

This for some reason makes me wanna learn Japanese, study the culture and history, then move there and live there for the rest of my life.

I wish the US had sidewalks on all roads within 3 miles of every school, so parents and kids could walk safely without walking in a ditch or in the busy streets. It would save on fuel as well.

It's so Asian that you go "mhmmm" and "hmmm". My friends pointed out that I tend to do that when someone is talking to me because it's considered an indication that you're listening.

Bruh He actually got that anime hairstyle

"And also, Luffy from One Piece eats a lot" got a good laugh out of that LOL

How to know a Japanese man is trolling you: he recommends natto.

"When i speak English i feel like I'm George....please dont ask me why" love it! Lol

"But I love McDonald's" George 2020

Twice George proved his an absolute Gangsta - they put Chinese music in this - anime reference cuz it’s about Japan..duh - I eat and Netflix, guess I’m not Japanese

“But i love McDonalds” lmao this is now my new favorite video

George’s fashion style is actually 100000 IQ

"...I'm really curious wheter other countries' people eat on time or not..." Me, watching at 3:30AM and eating fast food: "uh"

When I think that Japanese like their teachers is weird and then I see teachers like these.... I don't blame them

"green tea is good for fighting anxiety" me: *buys a bunch of green tea* istg if this doesn't work I'm gonna jump of the cliff-

Ten reasons why Japanese people are thin... 10. Diet 9. Diet 8. Diet 7. Diet 6. Exercise 5. Diet 4. Exercise 3. Diet 2. Diet 1. Diet Excellent thanks 👍🏻

“Oh I’m George, ...and please don’t ask me why.” Lol

3:30 “we stick to 3 meals a day and that doesn’t leave us hungry” b..but I do that too and I’m still always hungry Edit: stop assuming that I’m american/eats american food cause I’m asian, thanks.

"they avoid dishes with excess salt" Soy sauce and ramen exist.

"and I just realized they use chinese music on this" yep, it's kinda weird

'also luffy from one piece. he eats a lot.' 'just look at naruto'

It's kind of interesting. So far I've traveled to Japan for vacation two times, for three weeks each. And although I can honestly say, I eat plenty every day, at the end of the vacation I arrived at home always lost 3 to 4 kilograms on the scale. Because a) the food itself and b) we really walked a lot. At least 6 to 7 kilometers on an easy going days, sometimes up to 30 kilometers (when we were hiking)

From Belgium here. People here eat at regular times, 3 meals a day. Most people cook at home and fresh vegetables are the norm. Snacking really depends on the person, some eat none to one snack a day, others eat 2-4 snacks. Eating here is also is 'an experience', people sit at a dinner table together with family or friends; For most this is a moment of quality time. Most kids go to school on foot, with a bike or using public transport. Adults tend to use the car for work way more, but public transport and bikes are used. On that note, we can get to most places using public transport. There are busses all over the country, a great train system and in the bigger cities and the coast we have trams, although outside the big cities the busses tend to be late... always.

George on half of these: "Yes, this is true, but also we do the opposite."

His face discovering his own culture XDDDDDDD

I actually love that Japanese people have a lot of small portions and that you can try a little bit from everything... I absolutely prefer this over large portions of one food...

When I was little in the late 70's we use to have set meal times here in the US. Seemed to change starting in the mid 80's. Before the mid 80's everyone was also thin in the US. The times were actually the same also. 6-8am, 12-1pm, and 6-8pm. The biggest thing in the US is High Fructose Corn Syrup is in almost everything, which was introduced into our food in the early 80's. It takes 72 hours for HFCS to be expelled out of your system. Regular sugar takes 12-24 hours.

"please eat potato chips" *YAGAMI LIGHT HAS JOINED THE CHAT*

I love his: "hmmm,hm,hm,hm,hm" :) He is so concentrate and cute!

LMFAO THEY USED CHINESE MUSIC FOR THE BACKGROUND. wtf

The thing about tea in Japan... There are so many varieties. Sogenbicha, mugicha, sencha, hojicha, etc, etc... but the most important factor is that none of them have added sugar. And in general there is less added sugars to most things. Chocolates have less sugar. Everything has less sugar. So it is easier to have a low sugar diet in Japan. My only concern with Japan is the recent trend of having Budo To - grape sugar. It is not actually grape sugar - it is HFCS. It is called grape sugar because the molecules have a grape bunch shape. So check your ingredients for ブドウ糖... it is the very sweet and unhealthy High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS).

Man, could they use that sushi sequence any more?!? 🤦‍♀️

i love how some of his arguments are just "look at Luffy" or "look at Naruto" XD

I do remember walking a lot more when I was living in Japan...back to the US we just drive everywhere, no bueno. But yeah ramen places always have add-on options which people can order extra noodles, cha siu, and eggs to their ramen so there isn't much portion control when you decide to pile on the goodies. Also there is metabo law which limit people's waistline from getting too big per international guideline or they would face financial consequences by breaking the law. I think that has a lot more to do with dictating what kind of food and how much food Japanese people are consuming.

I thought you'd be used to everything there. So I was really surprised by your reaction at the public transportation part and how you said the Japanese public transport system is amazing 😂

love the old title "A"

I have watched this video and decided I love this guy. He's comedic, serious, calm and collected. Overall his videos are very entertaining.

I haven't been to Japan since the late 70s, so I don't remember exactly but there was a snack that I think was dried eels. I could not read Japanese and the Japanese folk in the little bar didn't know the English for it. It looked sort of like stick pretzels, only each stick had eyes. Good with beer. Much later I worked with a guy who decided that he wanted to lose weight and started eating strictly with chopsticks. It did not work, he just got much better with chopsticks.

Glad to know that you studied English in my country. Kudos to you. You did very well. I have taught some Japanese students who visited Toronto and felt like they were too intimidated to participate in active conversations. When asked, they used to shy away. You, on the other hand have definitely bypassed that and went over and beyond. 👌👌👌

"why Nato is good for health... according to science"... I think this was the most gentle sarcasm I have ever heard 😂

to be honest - having lived there for 8 years the main reason many japanese are thin is because they are so active...students often do club activities and there are several sporting events and competitions... i found that some clubs such as photography etc still did some form of physical exercise to maintain fitness. Plus a lot of japanese people walk or ride bikes - much more than western countries. The school size portions of food i think are quite small ...but the restaurant portions are about the same as youd expect in europe but compared to usa they have a much larger size Having said this - i still saw a lot of slightly overweight people - especially those who had left school and didnt go to college or uni... But i also notice a lot of guys still kept up their fitness due to being used to it from school As for george - clearly he takes good care of his health and is hot :-D

"potato chipsu is potato chips" he is so cute xD

It’s so admirable that you learned English. I’m learning Japanese and it’s a lot of work so props to u for learning English. Also I love your videos, you seem like such a cool guy! ❤️

“I am George, and please don’t ask me why” LOL

"and also Luffy from One piece he eats a lot" this line killed me

I visited Japan in 2019 and I don't eat seafood so I defaulted to a lot of noodle dishes. And I did discover the amazing food to go selections in convenience stores lol. I don't think I'd stay thin in Japan long term XD

When I was in Asakusa, there was this bakery with amazing fresh melon bread that you could get filled with ice cream or custard. And I miss Coco Ichibanya, I can't find Japanese-style curry where I'm at that has the same flavor.

Lol! "This says it is based on science but it didn't show any science." So true!!

I want to see a video on "Why George is So Handsome According to Science" pls

I just tried 納豆 recently. To be honest, it was a new and a little bit strange smell to me when I tried it the first time. But it wasn't bad at all. Instead, that taste was so memorable that I'm getting to like it!!!

I love the comment at 1:15 . After English, I speak, in descending order (that is, least-incompetent first): Latin, Spanish, French, Japanese, with bits of Koine Greek and German and Hebrew some cooking/food-related Chinese. When you switch into another language, it's almost like you get another personality to drive, for a while, and your mannerisms and various aspects of your psychology subtly change. I suspect it's the part of the brain that breaks in cases of pathology like Multiple Personality Disorder, but it feels like an ordered version of that. TLDR: I totally get what you mean when you say that you FEEL like "I am George", when you switch into the whole psychological Gundam-Suit that is your second language.

Enjoying the little ‘mm mhmm’ when you’re watching the video

nobody: Not even Kai: george: * you make me feel so * mmmh mmmh

Omg, I love how he speaks clearly. He speaks soo clearly. Plus, I love Japan! And also, in my opinion, the reason why natto is super healthy is because it contains vitamin K2 (a vitamin that benefits and improves your bone health and prevents you from fractures and that it overall increases and promotes bone strength, leading to stronger bones to prevent you from fractures) It's good for your bones overall, that's why it's healthy, in my opinion. It can strengthen your bones and prevent you from fractures and yet keep your bones healthy and help them grow) Overall, yes, natto is healthy! A key for stronger bones and to prevent you from fractures. The more you eat it, your bones become stronger and healthier. It strengthens bones and prevents fractures ^^ Vitamin K2 in general, is overall meant for good bone health 😊 Greetings from the USA :) The food helps strengthen bones and prevents fractures😌 That's why it's nutritious, in my opinion. Of course!! :) May strengthen bones. Food is super healthy. Best sources of vitamin K2. Stronger bones especially.

I know natto has gotten mixed reviews (especially from non-Japanese people) but if I was in Japan I'd give it a try if someone offered it . I'm generally willing to try most fermented foods, though I havent found one I absolutely love yet. I have an "I'll tolerate it" relationship with fermented foods I don't hate.

"Potato chipusu, it's a potato chips."

Now I wanna go to Japan and eat my favorites ^^" Okonomiyaki, Kareudon, Donburi with Shiitake/Veggies, Japanese Kare (Curry), food from Okinawa at Goya in Kyoto, ... I'm a Vegetarian. It is not easy to find Vegetarian food in restaurants. When I'm in Japan I make a few exceptions. Most soups are made with fish stock (katsuodashi), even nice root salads (like Kinpira Gobou or Kinpira Renkon) contain fish because the roots were cooked in katsuodashi... But I avoid at least any "visible" fish and meet ^^"

Honestly I'd love to live somewhere where walking was the norm. In rural US, generally speaking you NEED a car, cause you usually work a good 20-30 minute drive away from home. Not great for me, because I suck at driving and am terrified of it (got a permit, but still need to pass my test)

Video: *some claim* George: Yes... but actually no.

I love how at the end he goes, "May be I am not Japanese" LOL.... Millennials and later generations are raised in mixed environment due to internet so we all are quite similar.

I love this. I lost so much weight in my 30s and lowered by blood pressure (hereditary) here in America because I used to live in Atlanta Georgia that just happened to have a huge Japanese influx. There were so many Japanese restaurants in Atlanta (or there were before COVID shutdowns) that the competition kept the prices moderate, and the food really good. I decided to try it again here in MD though there aren't a lot of options. I think I might buy in bulk from a local restaurant that has loads of great food for low cost if she's still open!

Hello George. Just found your channel and love the content. I traveled to Japan in 2019 and really enjoyed the food. And its true ramen came always in huge bowls and I couldnt finish it lots of times. It became my favorite meal and I am was always sad that I could not enjoy it where I live in Austria. But some months ago a japanese restaurant opened nearby and their tonkotsu ramen tastes just like I am in Tokio again. You beeing an english teacher makes me a bit self conscious, so please forgive any errors I made.

I like your humour/sarcasm: " Maybe i should make another video why Natto is good for you ... according to science." 🤣😅

I've been to Japan twice and OMG the food, it's soooo good. I wish I could live there for the food alone!

George has the best personality and sense of humor!!! I need a friend like George!!!

I love your commentary on various subjects. Thank you.

Best George personal Recommend Japanese Food 3) Unaju -2000 to 5000yen/20 or 50$ 2) Tonkatsu or Gyukatsu(oh my God) 1) Natto - 80yen

“Also Luffy from One Piece eats a lot.” Me: yeah but he kinda has battles every single day so he burns a lot of calories XD

I love your comments and anime references in between the points. As a native American speaker, You speak great English! Thought you lived in America for some time. Thank you for this video, Very informative. Can't wait to visit Japan!

I just love how he randomly mentioned Luffy in his video. XD

That video you watched was so cliche 😂, I can’t cope with how many pictures of sushi they put in the video as if that’s what you guys eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

When you started talking about how you order a green tea frappuccino at Starbucks me and my mom started cracking up 😂 I work at Starbucks here in the US, and the first ingredient in our matacha powder is sugar, tea is the second ingredient. Nothing healthy about that 😂

"If you have one plate with a burger and fries in front of you, you can eat much faster" Me who can barely open their mouth and has to take the burger apart to eat: " ... "

The reason nattou us so good for you is likely because it is fermented. Which would also cover miso, and tsukemono. Why fermented foods are good for you is a fascinating topic that you should research if interested.

"AND ALSO LUFFY FROM ONE PIECE EATS A LOT" One piece is my fav anime and a person randomly mentioning it out of context makes me ☺💕

Before I moved in with my boyfriend, I ate on a pretty strict schedule, just because that's how I liked to eat. And it makes a *BIG* difference now that I don't have dinner at the same time every day. It messes with my digestion and sleep. I'm hoping in the new year to make our dinner times more regular.

Love the sarcasm and humor. Keep it up George!

your every "hmmm..." is the sweetest "hmmm" I've ever heard!😍 Greetings from Polish lass living in the UK😊

I agree with you, I don't like spending so much time selecting clothes. I mostly wear T-shirts even though im a girl.
