If you have a great meal, but youre not allowed to take a picture of it, is it still delicious? At Saitamaya, the answer is yes.

Were thrilled to share our experience at Saitamaya, where the master has perfected the art of Yakiton, but he wont let you take any pictures or video of the food. Yet, he allowed us to shoot here this day. The food here is unbelievable. People travel from all over the country to eat here, and — if youre coming to Japan — you definitely need to stop by here.

Come, let us introduce you to the master of grilled meat.

We went to Oshima Island, and we met two guys who arm wrestled over where we should eat ramen, and we challenged a guy to the drums, and we pet a lot of bunnies. Also, this is where Godzilla was dumped in an attempt to kill him! Is he alive or dead!!???

Heres the second video we did while we were in Hawaii. The first video was of us having fun. This video, though, is 18 freaking minutes of us EATING ALL THE FOOD! SO MUCH FOOD! ALL OF IT! Theres none left for anyone else. Its all in our stomachs now.

We spent a day with a soba master who taught us how to make soba noodles, with the perfect ratio of buckwheat. So this isnt clickbait! This guy is the real deal. Its not easy to make soba the way he makes it, but we gave it an honest effort at least.

I usually tell stories about what life is like in Tokyo, because thats where our family lives. But today we head out to Matsuyama in the prefecture of Ehime to find out what life in non-Tokyo, the countryside of Japan, is like.

Special thanks to Sherry for showing me around Matsuyama/Ehime. Check out her YouTube channel www.youtube.com/c/SherryBerryinEhimeENG
