I'm currently near Hamamatsucho Station
Today I'd like to introduce you to some Japanese phrases used when eating curry
Let's head into the restaurant right away
Check out the video below to see how we took the monorail from
Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho Station and then walked to Tokyo Tower
I'll leave a link to this video in the summary section
The store is about a five-minute walk from the north exit of Hamamatsucho Station
This is our Azabu Jyuban Herbal Curry
It's a shop called Deep
Sea Which floor do you think it's on It's
on the sixth floor
Yes it's the sixth floor
Take the elevator up to the sixth floor
I've arrived
Here it is
It says "Open" here
Look at this Amazing
The variety of alcoholic drinks is incredible
So wonderful
The Japanese atmosphere
It's really great the vibe
Is this place a bar or something in
the evenings Amazing
Definitely come if you love drinking
Whiskey is really popular isn't it
That's right
Since someone joining us today is vegan that's
why I've been looking for
a place I thought this
spot near Hamamatsucho would be perfect We're 58 people
so 54 will be attending Thank you so much
Then I'll borrow four of you for a moment
Amazing That's how it feels
Could we please see the menu beforehand
Of course
Thank you
I'll show you the menu first
Yes this is water If you'd like water please
bring some—of course that 's
fine But if you want
it chilled please make that clear Also when the staff
brings it let them know it's for this room
I think many people would say it's a room
It's water
It doesn't contain ice but many
Japanese restaurants do include ice
in their water If you don't want
ice please ask for it without ice
I think you should just say "no ice please "
I brought the lunch and dinner menus
Amazing you actually brought
both the lunch and dinner menus
The English teacher I'm eating with today is vegan
Actually we've filmed together a few times before
and previously shot at a vegan restaurant in Akihabara
Thank you
You brought the bird dish for me
If you want a plate please give me a plate
Plates are counted as one piece two pieces etc
So please give me one plate
Just say you'd like one
small plate for sharing
and they'll probably ask how many you need
Just say "one please" or "three please "
The English teacher has arrived His name is Robert
Be sure to check out the Vlog from Akihabara
too—there's a scene where Robert is talking
Here you'll find the order process described
Please choose how many portions of curry you'd like one plate
Whether it's one kind two kinds or three
kinds makes a difference
doesn't it I think
I'll go with two kinds And I can choose
the size too—regular large or extra large
Rice at 400 grams is quite a lot isn't it
I'm fine with the regular size
The second step in your order process is
please select your curry type
Szechuan-style medicinal soup curry — looks delicious Chicken and
ginger also seem
tasty It even lists
the spiciness level Hard to choose
This one looks delicious too I think I'll go with this
But since there are two options
it says "Our top recommendation" written here
This place really is the top pick no doubt
Still this one's tempting too A curry made
with medicinal soup a chicken curry crafted
from scratch—maybe I'll
go with option A and B
I think vegans should go for this
Next options
Choose toppings or blink
Select rice change I see
Hot springs eggs are great aren't they I
think I'll add some hot springs eggs Oh
drinks can be added
too Homemade soy
milk chai looks delicious I'll go with that
Lunchtime includes unlimited access to homemade pickles
You're asked about the structure
aren't you People always ask what "all
-you-can-eat" means Now that the menu's decided let's place our order
If you want to place an order
and there's a bell just ring
it if there isn't just
say sorry Let's try it then Sorry
West Mori Pharmacy Curry Regular
A and B
And the topping is a hot spring egg
After your meal you can choose between iced or hot
homemade soy milk chai I'
ll have the hot one please
And one more thing the West Mori Pharmacy Curry—
just the regular one please
Regular with V2 and V3
And please a ginger ale before the meal
And earlier when we ordered the drink I mentioned whether it was before or after the meal
Before the meal a drink is served beforehand
after the meal a drink arrives afterward
Robert ordered ginger ale before
the meal so he'll probably arrive
shortly I asked for chai after the meal so I'll come after eating
Can't wait
Yes since it's before
dinner I' ll borrow Robert's for a moment
Ginger ale has arrived So does
everyone know what this is called
This is a straw
A straw—probably difficult to
pronounce for native English speakers Straw
How do you say that in
English The pronunciation
Straw Not quite right though
Definitely
Yes this is a straw
Please go ahead and drink
This is A and B
Thank you
Ah lovely scent
These are V2 and V3 from left to right
These are A and B from left to right
Thank you A and B
And I added a hot spring egg as a topping
I asked for it
I placed the order
By the way the evening menu has quite a few options
First of all the variety of alcoholic drinks
You probably saw it when the inside of the shop was shown a moment ago
You've got quite a lot of alcohol here
Can you see this everyone Is it okay So
many different kinds Absolutely
incredible
This entire display is just alcohol
People who like drinking alcohol are fine aren't they
Oh there are non-alcoholic options too
Non-alcoholic means it contains no alcohol
Yes there are all sorts of other
dishes too—looks delicious I'd love
to come back in the evening Oh there 's
curry available at night as well
Oh uh there are also courses available
At year-end people often have farewell parties
and when the new year
comes around there are also
new year gatherings so I think many guests order
this menu Before we begin eating what is this
You've seen this many times in my videos already
Yes this is a hand towel
What do you
do with a hand
towel You wipe your hands
And what do you use when eating curry
Yes a spoon right
We eat curry with a spoon
With a spoon like this
That's what I mean by using a spoon
I'll eat the curry with a spoon
Well then let's dig in
Let's dig in
I think I'll start with the soup curry
Looks delicious
Bon appétit
Delicious
Hmm it tastes really good
for the body—like medicinal
food somehow—but I can't quite put my finger on it
It's not as hard as I thought
it might be
actually I'm not particularly good at enduring hardship but it's delicious
It tastes refreshingly healthy
Hmm let's try this
one too This
one feels
more like it's packed
with solid ingredients
Hmm the ginger really
comes through Delicious
Yes sir Excuse me
This is our pickles
Thank you
Delicious That's right since the pickles are all-you-can-eat I
just helped
myself Well then I'll lightly place
this hot spring egg over my curry
I think I'll go with this one
I think adding a hot spring egg makes the flavor smoother
But it's not that spicy really
Hmm
The post-meal tea has
arrived I'll have a quick sip
Hmm
Delicious It warms you up Eating curry and then
drinking chai really heats you from the inside
Yes I've finished eating
Thank you for the meal
Now I'll settle the bill
Oh sorry
Yes Could I get the check please
Sorry
Yes
Are you okay
Yes I'm fine
Can I join
you Yes let's go together
I'll pay 3 700
yen Alright
Please use a credit card Thank
you very much
The bill has just been settled
There were other customers so I couldn't take
many photos but I first asked for the check
and if there was an electronic receipt I’d take that with me
Since it wasn't available this time
I just said "Could I have the check
please " and paid Usually the staff
would ask "How would
you like to pay "
You'll be asked
to pay so please
use cash credit
card or an IC card
Some places don't accept credit cards
so try asking "Do you
accept credit cards
" Just like I mentioned in my Instagram post where I shared my YouTube video
I'll also handle the tagging on Instagram so
I'll let you know when
I post again Thank you
I'd been curious about a café nearby ever
since so I decided to stop by for a quick visit
The day this video was filmed was in
November so it wasn't yet very cold
making the temperature perfect for
sipping a café latte on the terrace
Shortly after there was a little surprise
Thank you for the meal
Sorry thank you very much
I was watching it on Agusiti
Soup Really
You came to see me
I did
This is it
I'm happy
Is it okay if I feature your shop
It's fine
Which country
Is it alright to record this
right now Since my face won't be shown go ahead
I'm Mongolian
Mongolian That's awesome
I saw you on YouTube and thought you must have traveled to so many places
The staff member at
this shop was one of
my channel's subscribers
They said they' re from Mongolia Thank you so much—I'm
amazed It's such a
wonderful welcoming place
Please come by if you can
I'll paste the information about this shop in the description box
How was today's video everyone
Today's video was about eating
curry in Hamamatsucho Probably in
the previous video they went from Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho
I think there's a video explaining
the directions so if you're unsure how
to get from Haneda Airport to Hamamatsucho
be sure to check out this video
Thank you so much for always watching
That's all for today
Please say goodbye with Robert too
Goodbye
