Messy, so many people, very smoky, a lot of smell of the food and water. Lage is also very conjunction very messy, you know. And then everybody just start drinking from lunchtime and people just like cheers like, you know, like freedom, cheers, be yourself. And Don't worry about it. It's a totally different personality. Osaka and Tokyo.
Which one do you prefer? It's very hard for you to see this in Tokyo. Maybe like some pe some places. Yes. But Osaka everywhere look like this. Did you see that? So the corner ask like, "Hey, I haven't drunk it." And then so the Osaka people's greeting is like this.
>> Oh, >> okay. You know like they don't know each other but they people ask immediately the first question to ask to the corner is means where did you drink for Osaka people is a greeting is like it's have you drank or not have you drank or not oh you haven't drank yet see come join us hey drink together with us bro it's very rare to happen in Tokyo that's why a lot of people Love Osaka.
>> Forgot to mention one very essential characteristic of the place we're looking for. It has no hoai tabi. It's all you can eat, all you can drink.
[laughter] See if this place has >> Yeah. What he say is all you can drink.
All you can eat.
Oh, okay. Okay.
>> Oh, okay. So, what happened is like when you guys like expect like to go to Osaka and all the the shop stuff is like look like a Japanese but actually he is not Japanese. How he talk is he's like uh maybe probably from Vietnam or from Philippine probably. I just recently went to Osaka right the doi the main place all the workers 99% of the workers are non-Japanese people >> okay >> that's so cheap >> hell yeah >> hell yeah [ __ ] go >> this is exactly What we wanted, >> the back alleys.
>> This is the Osan experience. Look at this incredible display of culture.

>> Beer. Beer.

>> Yeah. But the panties here are in vending machines and you pay for them.
>> Okay. All right. There's a metal.
>> Yeah. Right.
>> All right.
In the US, it would be incredibly degrading to ring a bell.
>> Come here, boy. All right, dude.
>> Hey, what does that mean? What does that mean? Sorry, I didn't get it. In Japan, this is very common because isakaya is very loud. So, like, excuse me, maybe your voice is not going to go through to go to like kitchen, go to like waiter. So, you can instead of that, we use the bell. Ding ding. This bell is really loud. So, he they will know like who is calling. Uh prevent like make the customer wait. What about uh this kind of things in other countries? Is it okay in your country?
Do you have this kind of system in Japan? In the other countries like you guys thinks like oh like oh my god everywhere in Japan is so quiet like a library. That's wrong actually. That's not true. Where is the loud place in Japan is? Isakaya, right? Drinking place. Isakaya is like a eating and drinking place. Okay. Isakaya can be super loud. Especially I'm not going to judge the Osaka people, don't get me wrong, okay? Osaka people talk super loud.
We talk very nice and quiet, right? But they don't know how to talk quietly.
Osaka people so loud. Okay. Anyway, Osaka people are very loud generally speaking. Okay. So when they say sum excuse me uh if your arm your your arm is not long enough you know like nobody can see you and if your voice is not like loud enough nobody can uh hear you so there's a belling it's not rude it's very common in Japan. Yeah >> Afghanistan Afghanistan >> no America [laughter] gets him every time.
Okay. Okay. Can I say something? Can I ask you guys something? Corner. Every time that in the corner see the people, he said like where you from Afghanistan.
Is that American joke? Japanese people don't find it funny.
When we do joking have to be must be funny.
Otherwise, you should not joke about anything. If your joke is not funny, if your joke is not tricky, right? Uh you should not joke about that. What about you guys?
>> Actually, I I can speak English.
>> Oh, really?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, nice.
>> Oh, sorry.
>> You're living in Osaga?
>> Yeah.
>> Do you love it here?
>> Yeah, of course. Uh, so I never been to Tokyo.
>> Tokyo sucks.
>> Tokyo sucks. Tokyo bad. Tokyo boo.
That's all the Osaka people might say.
Tokyo boo. Osaka the best.
[laughter] Oh my god.
>> The thing with Kushi Katu is you can dip it in here one time. This is a public sauce. This is public.
>> The honor system. That's a lot of choice.
>> Yeah. This would never work in my country. Never. Wait, what does that mean? If you don't follow this rule, you are banned from Osaka. Never ever ever step into Osaka. Okay, this is a kushikatu sauce. Okay, this is the public source. Everybody going to share.
Okay, Japanese people will share the bath together. Japanese people will also share the uh sauce together. Okay, we love sharing culture. So that if we share everything, we are like a family.
We dip in the this sauce. Next person come, we dip in the sauce as well. We share the sauce.
Do you think that this is weird for you guys? I mean this is Japan style. This is the uh Osaka style. So we we call it like a public. This one is public. So everybody share. So in Japanese in Osaka people say means no double dipping means means two times means dipping means prohibited. So two time dipping prohibited.
So please make sure that if you go to Osaka, if you eat the kushiag, please make sure that no double dipping. Don't don't don't. Why? Why we can do that is because we trust the customer before us.
So like Japanese mentality is like treat others as you want to be treated.
>> If you have a public source in America, what's going to happen? People just keep dipping. That's so rude. That's so dirty.
[laughter] >> [laughter] >> is dirty.
[laughter] That's exactly what I say. [screaming] Be careful of just try to like hunt the girl who already have a husband or already have a boyfriend. It doesn't matter.
Oh my goodness.
Your girl is so cute.
Means beautiful. Oh my god. Like your girlfriend is so beautiful. Huh? [gasps] Is she your friend by any chance? Can I date with her? You know, like a lucky man. Lucky man. A He's so cute.
>> He's so cute.
>> He said uh he said you're very hot.
[laughter] >> And on that note, what's another >> I love her too. She is so hot. Super.
But she going to be dangerous if she walking on the street in Osaka. A lot of uh lion [laughter] Japanese guy lion >> cuz this is literally just like drinking fuel. That's all Kushikasu is. It's not like a great culinary experience. It's just like get this [ __ ] slop in your belly, smoke some sigs, and drink nine beers and start your culture. Okay, Italians. Okay, Frenching snobs over there. You think your food is so special? Look at this. [laughter] >> I love Connor.
All Japanese people love this guy because he understand Japan more than Japanese people. And also like he's the really the best person to say out loud say like make it in a word language to say like how amazing Japan culture is how special Japan is like we as a Japanese we are very proud of him like we make his video make us feel like we are very proud of Japan. I don't think you have trs in France. Piece of [laughter] like a worm.

And number two is unagi. Unagi especially organ of unagi is good unagi.

>> Fish testicle.
>> Yeah. Should I try it?
>> TRY. ALL RIGHT. TRY TRY.
>> Does this make us gay?
>> Try balls.
>> Make us gay. What?
>> They're balls. All right. Good.
>> Oh, wait. That's really good. It's got a weird texture. I feel like I'm eating like semen.
>> Um the [laughter] texture is like [laughter] sensual touch. Uh-uh.
>> I'm having trouble swallowing it. I'm having trouble like >> Hey yo, WHAT THE [ __ ] >> Mentally processing what I'm doing to my body right now. No, it's just like I don't want to swallow testicles.
>> He's touching so many times.
>> Cent [laughter] eating balls.
[laughter] >> I shouldn't have another, but We just really need to get our money's worth tonight, guys. You know, I didn't really want to order another one. Like, I I'm good. Like, I don't really need one. I don't really want one.
>> I've reached my limit.
>> Your eyes are twitching. It's fine.
>> But the cheap bastard of me couldn't say no to a good deal. And the more you drink, the better deal it is. So, no.
Tip number one, drink until you can't walk. There you go. [laughter] >> Come by. Come by. Come here.
>> You can't walk.
>> All right. Let's get the cake.
>> That never gets >> so many times.
>> Oh my goodness. She's so cute.
>> No, no, no, no, no.
>> What? What? What? What? What? Okay. She says means quiet. Kimas come. So Yeah, quite a lot of foreigner come here.
>> Okay, we get some Koreans in here. Why the subtitle is wrong is because she say is ko means to tour tourism tourism.
Okay, tour people tourism tourist but tourism and kangoku Korea is very similar.
Kita kangoku kita means north. Kangoku means Korea. So is it North Korea?
So she doesn't really understand what does that mean? Why suddenly talk about the North Korea? Actually North Korea in Japanese is it's not koku is a South Korea we say kangoku but North Korea we say kita chosen. Chosen kach chosen.
Chosen is the old ancient way of calling the Korea. [snorts] Yeah.
>> Oh. always beautiful, >> beautiful, beautiful.
>> I love this one. She get a compliment, right? Oh, beautiful, beautiful. And she immediately say, "Oh, thank you so much." Right? That's never happened for Japanese girls. Japanese girls, right?
The root the manner good manner is if somebody say something like if somebody say like oh you're so cute you're beautiful. One time you're going to say no no no no no no no. You refuse it. You refuse the compliment. Okay. Oh no no no. You're so beautiful. Oh no no no no no no no. Two times you're going to refuse it. That's the manner. Maybe third time maybe first time you say like oh thank you so much with a humbleness.
But in your heart, yeah, I'm a best. I'm the most prettiest woman in the world.
But you you just say, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." Okay, that's the rule and manner in Japanese. In Japan, if you guys get the compliment, okay, do it next time.
>> Tokyo.
>> Yes, I know. [laughter] >> Okay.
Byebye.
>> Seven drinks. Six drinks later.
>> Was that one hour? That felt like 5 hours.
>> We got all you can drink for 1 hour.
