meanwhile emirichu: "I spent $75 to eat a single lukewarm omelet with an anime character's face printed on it."

"I am Japan's most miserable man" I think Chris Broad heard you

I waited an hour for these standing in the heat, but 100% worth it

now thats a good lookin jelly donut

I once heard that Japanese will line up at any line because “if they’re waiting here it must be good” and heard from a different person who traveled to Japan how they once stopped in the middle of the sidewalk to look something up on their phone and people started lining up behind them-

That only tells us that Japanese people are very patient people.

Ofcourse that's the best onigiri you ever had. It's made with Niigata Koshihikari rice. When I used to live in Niigata everything with rice was so good because they used Koshihikari

おにぎりぼんご、有名になる前はそこまで並ばずに済んだから一日3回食べに行ったりしてた。ここは本当に美味しい。

I think the most unbelievable part wasn't the 5 hour wait. It was that Connor found a bench

People in Japan can afford to stand 5 hours in a line? Must be a weekend..

I’ve just checked their website after watching your short video, it says they don’t take orders online but they take orders on the phone in the manner of first call first served fashion before they run out of food.

My ex gf used to love standing in these lines together. Said it was part of the experience. I hated her for that

Japan citizen: wait for 5hrs for rice balls Miserable British Man: orders online and got it in 10secs

You gotta love he went from "no food is worth waiting 5 hours in line" to after trying it, now its "oh wow, its so good! now i see why they wait" 😂

I absolutely love this mans voice.

デカくて具沢山なおにぎりほど美味いものはない。こういうのが良いんだ。 それにしても美味そうに食べててこっちも何だか幸せになる

I get that they're good, but I also feel like japanese people will just stand in any long line, with the idea that if everyone else is willing to wait for them, they should as well

What’s most important is not having the best onigiri in Japan, but the friends we met in line for it.

すごくおいしさが伝わってきてなんだか嬉しくなりました😊

Gee, I wished that we had this in the States!!! It looks so yummy 😋

Wow! I'm japanese. but I didn't know that nice information. I will try to order online. Thank you for telling me 😁

Connor not letting everybody know that you could actually order online was pure evil😂

5 hours!? 😳 I would literally have to bring food while waiting to order the food.. 😭

"I am Japan's most miserable British man" Chris: "- Finally a worthy opponent "

67% of Connor's shorts start with "I am Japan's most miserable British man".

This reminds me of 2 places in New York, New York. There is a Donut shop that has up to a 5 hour wait as well but you can order online. The interesting point of this shop is that they will hold your donuts up to 3 days or have orders ahead up to 3 days. The second place is known as the Heaven Bathroom. It is a high class bathroom for the 1% to use. It cost $1,000 to $10,000 to use it and have a waiting/ reservation list to use it throughout the year. It is on the 69th floor of the building. The irony is the guy that owns the building including the bathroom, lets customers of his sushi/ sake restaurant use it if they spend at least $30 in his restaurant. No wait list, no reservation, you go ahead of the 1%. Best Sake in America as well.

Nothin better than a jelly-filled donut...

That trick (ordering the food and getting it when you get there) is what my parents always do with our favorite ice cream shop. Not many people know you can order it online, and it's always funny to see the people's faces when you just pass them and get your order right away. Especially on a sunny and busy day when the line is so long, that it reaches the end of the block.

Those donuts look great. Jelly filled are my favorite. Nothing beats a jelly filled donut.

That looks so good!!! Donuts are my favorite!!!

I ❤ his voice! 😮😮😮

I once went to a Japanese restaurant. I saw Chicken Teriyaki Bento on the menu. I did not know what Bento was, but I knew Chicken Teriyaki VERY WELL. I ordered it. Hard cut to me, 2 months later having gained 17 pounds thanks to this restaurant. Japanese food is amazing.

You gotta respect their dedication, 5 hours for rice balls is wild

People in queue are queuing as one event. This is an event where you can eat onigiri immediately after they are cooked in the store.

Yes, but if you wait in line you can eat it with the fresh and crispy nori.

My guy : 🙂 His voice : 🗿

When you're in japan, if you see a restaurant with hundreds of people waiting in line for, i promise you, it's good food

7 dollars for that much food as takeout got me weeping.

Cool video, don't usually like shorts but this is pretty good!

Of course you’re grumpy; you’re Welsh! Love you man.

Loved this short, you should do Japanese food reviews!!

The fact that something as simple as Rice Balls can have such a difference in quality from one to the next is crazy to me

When they cock-up, they're Welsh. If they invent something, they're British. - Jeremy Clarkson probably

Yo I'm absolutely loving these made for Shorts videos. They're not cut from a longer video or stream so I'm loving this type of content. Also those Onigiri are really big.

Oh I laughed so hard when he said that it was so quick If you order online

damn this is a good short!

They must be mad as I expected 🍙🍵

Nothing beats a jelly-filled donut.

これAIじゃなくてこいつ本当にこんなに声いいの？ヤバっ

Pov : British guy tries real food for first time!

I don't think that you are the grumpiest man in Japan, that spot goes to Chris.....

Abroad in Japan was built on being Japan’s Most Miserable British Man. Connor, are you coming for Chris’ brand?!

Just got back from Japan. The lines for some of the food was insane man.......

Being from Britain, he cannot conceive of food being good enough to wait 5 hours for.

“They’re soooo big” And here I thought the ones I make at home were normal sized… Can I apply that size logic to other things in my life? Well, to one thing in particular? Would really make me feel good about myself…

British people: waiting 5 hours for rice balls is stupid Also british people: 5 hrs for tea is reasonable

What a delicious looking box of jelly donuts.

DAMN 7$ for that man? IM FLYING OVER AND CHOWING DOWN

The 5 hour wait is for the experience. If i remember i saw a video and its almost like your gma is there making them and talking with you a d stuff. Its a good atmosphere.

Wow, a food review on KZfaq shorts that actually shows where to find the place that the food is made. Good on you 👍

I have a somewhat similar story, though not for food. I went to visit the Museum of Natural History in NYC. I went there a few minutes before opening time, and there was a LONG queue at the main entrance. I walked around for a bit, and saw a security guard standing outside, and overheard her saying something like there was another queue at the side entrance. So I went there, and the queue was MUCH shorter, and I went in and bought entry to the museum in maybe like 10 min of queueing.

I can't wait for the day Mouse and Connor share that damn beer and onigiri

"These donuts are great, jelly filled are my favorite!"

Thanks for the tip! I had my hotel order some to go. So good!!! Will do it again when I visit again!

Wow. Thank you so freaking much for making the address so easy to just screen shot!

I looked up the website. I think this place is supposed to be famous for making onigiri while not squeezing/squishing too much like they do with normal onigiri, which makes the difference in the result. Also, when the customers eat it on the spot, they make the onigiri right after they took an order. I think those customers wanted to try freshly made ones on the counter in the onigiri shop, rather than the ones that are squeezed in a packet. They’re just valuing getting food as fresh as possible to get the best experience. I’m Japanese myself and I still personally don’t wanna be in the line, but I know Japanese foodie people can be very picky so I didn’t find it strange. I know there are “enjoying being in the line” aspect or “wanting it just because there’s a long line” aspect of it, but I honestly don’t like how people from other cultures think we’re so dumb and are incapable of coming to logical conclusions or something.😂 I sometimes bump into foreigners who constantly do that while visiting Japan. I feel looked down upon, so I usually shut down and don’t even explain our logic. I think it’s rude. （This is how we keep enabling them to do this to us though. We choose not to clap back and disengage. In our culture, that's our being mature. But they take it as their "win".) Also, in the website, they say they sell 1200 -1600 onigiri in a day. There's no way Japanese people are not ordering online and getting slightly less fresh ones when they don't wanna bother being in the line forever.

Those look bangin. I wanna make some now.

I love your voice over videos! Hope to see more 👍

5 hours 😃?!? Damn looks guud tho

Japanese people be like "what's an online?"

I think the fact that you can sit on any bench and KNOW you will be fine and left alone, makes japan number 1

Your voice! Wow, I love it

Welp, I know where I’m going to eat when I finally go to Japan

Don't you mean.... jelly donuts?

the ones waiting in line are just made and still warm, while the online are cold, there is a difference in the taste....

No need to say miserable if you are going to say British man. Kinda already implied.

5... hours!?.... WHAT!?

Please we all know those are jelly doughnuts

Thank you. I'm planning to go to Japan. I'm compiling the best places to eat and hope I can go there. This has been added to my list

ayooo so nice to see you making this lifestyle content hahha it’s not something that we could expect from u but very pleasing and just nice to see u out in the wild lol

People need to wait for 5 hours because the staff is prioritizing online orders

Dude you have the type of voice to be on those interesting documentaries

British people still don’t know that they are hired to wait there?

I ate there early this year, line was 2 hrs. If you have the time, it's a really nice experience, but if you come to Japan on vacation, definitely get it to go and have it in a park 😆

The fact that it only took you 10 sec to get it after placing the order online means there must be a valid reason why the Japanese are willing to wait up to 5 hours for the same thing.

This makes me want to make my own for work lunches. Thank you CDawg voice actor man :3

Honestly, I’d love to wait in line for hours for an amazing restaurant one day! I’ve never done it before and I’ve never encountered a local place so amazing and popular I had to wait for hours in cue! It’s definitely on my bucket list to do that

Jesus the voice, I'm obsessed

私たちが外人に対して偏見や誤解を持つように、外人達も日本の文化に対して誤解と偏見を持っていることが良く分かるコメント欄です

Thanks for being the only sensible one in all this

When i was there (apr 2023), the people who were in queue were mostly tourist. With our "internet only" sim cards, we couldnt call. Even if we could, it would be difficult to order/communicate. I queued almost 4 hours. It wasnt worth the time. Onigiri is onigiri. Nothing fantastic. We also went into the shop to ask if we could order for takeaway and not dine-in. Staff said no. Even if we were to order for takeaway, we would still have to queue before we were allowed to order. Being able to order through the phone is a special service for locals / people who speak the language.

This was DEFINITELY worth waiting 5 hours in line for

When I was in Japan, I noticed people wait in line for everything, every Starbucks I saw was packed and has a 1-hour queue

You know it's good when he eats it all and eats the others in a single short.

It's not about getting food, it's about that satisfaction you get from getting that food after 5 hours of waiting.

In America that meal would cost about $20

It’s in Japan and Taiwan as well .. I gotta say you can find good food in these countries but half of their lives these people are waiting in line 😅 they voluntarily do so

I need Japaneats’ soothing monotone take on these before I even think about flying there

A part of asian culture is following what everyone else is doing without asking questions. So if a person is waiting in line (even when the food is not good, or you can reserve like this) the rest will follow suit. It's one of those "fit in the society" thing. The nail that sticks out is hammered down ruthlessly.

Will the Japanese people waiting in line have a surprised pikachu face when they realised that they can just order online?
