So, I am really really excited about it but I have something special for you this morning

right now I'm in Hakodate morning market and this is where you get some of the bst fish in all of Japan

and there's one thing that's really really famous Kaisendon, Kaisendon, Kaisendon

Welcome to this shop, Why not have a Kaisendon!

Kaisen-don!

So, I'm come here eat a Kaisendon and the master of this retaurant he's prepared one for me which you saw on the thumbnail this is sort of really exciting OK

Yeah, Oh it looks so good,

here we go

This is the master's prepared Kaisendon

You have salmon, you have Hotate scallops, you have Ikura fish eggs, you have Maguro tuna and of course Wasabi

This is awesome gosh I love the Ikura, it's just so colorful they lool like little glow balls of I don't know what like glow balls of delicious

and salmon looks so good, everything is fresh like super fresh like caught this morning and this is called Kaisendon all right

He's also given me a Miso soup with crab and some Otumami like pickles what I've never had this before that's interesting

So this is an awesome breakfast he's prepared for me

So, it's time to eat breakfast, That's right in Japan we eat fish for breakfast you know so it's not - it actualy you know Kaisendon you want to eat it fresh

Because everything has been caught off of the market really really really well just today so everything is super fresh

Are there any soy sauce?

So I need to mix in the Wasabi wiht the soy sauce

Here you are, Thank you so much

So I usually out of the Kaisendon

take the Wasabi out and put it into the soy sauce

and mix it in here

So you make it like super spicy salty really delicious sauce for the Kaisendon

and then you take it and then you pour it on top

That's good

it's hard to show you but

this is going to be too amazing

this is like the best berakfast I might have had on this entire trip

OK

All right , Let's start eating

Go to the Ikura first

It's just you know I think It's the Wasabi mixing with the soy sauce and then on top of the Ikura, It's just all those flavors coming together in your mouth

When we're eating Ikura, everytime we bite, the egg sort of explode in your mouth and they're naturally salty, so good luck

a couple of minutes ago I saw on prepraring the Hotate. Hotate is also very famous from Hokkaido

It's so soft

She got this piece of salmon, you see that

It's really thickly cut

I'm spoiled rotten this is absolutely spoiled rotten

and this is tuna, and see hold on

this is tuna so you can see how moist it is how fresh

oh, It's Akami (lean) whichi is the reddest part of tuna

and I sort of like that I don't always like having the fatty tuna

So Akami is good

But when it comes to Ikura

I like you the best

It's because naurally salty I don't know

I first did the thought of eating fish eggs really creeped me out but now I'm kind of used to this

this 丼（bowl) on the wall is a menu and the price is started about twelve dollars

How much is this Kaisendon?

This Kaisendon is 2,500 Yen

which is really good because can you consider it

how darn fresh this says

you can get cheaper here's ating yeah

twenty-five dollars seems like a lot for Kaisendon but

If you get anything cheaper

I'm sort of suspicious of the ingredients in the freshness of it

but just know there's no doubt because I saw him making a couple of minutes ago I saw him make its I know that this stuff is super fresh

OK let's try this Miso soup

and after finish eating this I'm going to go out to the market and show you some of the Hakodate morning market

I'll be honest with you even if it wasn't good I would still make a face like this OK?

but honestly it's that good,

partially because I'm super hungry

but also because it's not good

this is a pickled "Daikon? (radish)

and he gave this to me he threw this in for free so it tastes good with the whole mix of everything

It's crunchy

good!

and then there's this

What is this?

What the heck is in this?

I thought it was seaweed (海苔), but it's not

Excuse me, what is this?

Japanese basil roll

Japanese basil? not seaweed, isn't it? What is inside the roll?, Miso

this is a Shiso leaf if sometimes you see the green leaves that come with Sushi or Sashimi and inside of it is Miso

so when you take a bite just like this blast of Miso that comes in and it's so good

I'm spoiled rotten right now this is true guru

but if when you come to Hakodate you have to come to the morning market and have a Kaisendon because

it's like you get everything every single piece of seafood is good here in Hokkaido in one bowl and you can eat it all in one meal is sort of makes it easy doesn't it

but this market is open from 5:00 am to 2 pm and closes at 2 pm mainly because you know fishermen the markets always close early when you have fishi in vogue

I'm not exactly sure why but I guess because the fishermen have to sleep because they get up in the middle of the get up really really I don't know what like 10 pm. Fisheren have wierd sleeping schedule

I'm going to get one of the boats that'd be really cool

Wow

thank you

thank you so much for this

I'm going to introduce your restaurant, what's the name of this restaurant? Abu-Ya, OK

This is Abu-Ya in the morning market, highly recommend and I just go this, look at this, I'm going to be eating all day

I'm still working on the Kaisendon and I got these jumbo shrimp

so I flled this up soy sauce again

I always mix Wasabi in the soy sauce I just love it

it came with Wasabi yo put it in the soy sauce, that's the rule

I don't know I should be honest I don't know how to eat this, I'm going to ask

Sorry guys,

I made friends with the ladies behind two

alright here we go

Ah, so good

Sashimi it's totally raw

so good

This is a Shiso leaf (Japanese basil) , OK

Be honest with you now because I want it to eat this really quickly and then show you the market but because of the volume of food, it's going to take a while to eat this

I'm in trouble so if you're in Hakodate right now come to Abu-Ya and help me eat this right now

because I don't think I can eat this all

you can eat anything, Yes, I can

Don't you take on a challege for food?

challenge?

Natto?, there is Natto in India

Yah, I can eat Natto!

Can you eat Natto?

How about Yam?

No problem, stiky OK

there is water-shield here in Ohnuma, Is that right?

It's very important to the local soup as a main, solid ingredient

look like this? NO, NO, much smaller than that

where do you come from? Me? Hakodate? No, Sapporo

The next destination is Sapporo

This is my mother, and there is my daughter over there

Wow that's the sister working here, they're from Sapporo and going back today

and I asked them they asked me if I could eat anything and I said yeah I can eat anything what give me a challenge and they started naming som food like Natto and stiky stuff and I said bing it on I can eat anything

there's not anything really that I can't eat in Japan just because the longer you live here the more you get used to everything like anything raw Basashi

Can you eat Basashi? I don't like it. Agree, I don't like it either, but I can eat

I went to Kumamoto by this trip

People of Hokkaido don't eat Basashi much. Here in Hokkaido, many people involve in breeding horses for horse-racing, so that we hesitate to eat Basashi

So Basashiis raw horse and she said that because in Hokkaido they ride horses a lot

they don't really want to eat the horse which makes sense

but down in Kyushu where I came from a few weel ago, they eat horse they eat Basashi it's quite famous in Kumamoto

Kumamoto Basashi which is wrong word

It's been smoked so it's not too bad but it's not my favorite food but I could eat it

Kaisendon awwesome yeah

That piece of Maguro (tuna)

and I love the texture and moisture on it

you can tell good Maguro the moisture is important than hmm so good

this is my breakfast. It's a little bit after 9:00

Oh, substantial quantity! I wonder if I can finish it all

No problem, you are young! 43 years old, Kidding! You look young

You are so kind, Are you married? No, not yet

Can I eat the tail? No! Also take away the head

Take the head off first, and the tail follows

Hold it here and push here, so that the meat is coming out

Ah~, left the meat a little bit though

Here we go

so good

I can't even compare to anything I've gotten it even at Tsukiji market I can't compare, this is better

because you know what Tsukiji market is where the auction is I think they catch the fish here and send it to Tsukiji market

So Tsukiji market's fresh but this is pressure and don't take tat as fact because I really don't know I think so

Fishing boats catch a lot of fish here first and then send to Tsukiji in Tokyo?

Yeah, now it's packed because they said the fish here is cut and send to Tsukiji so you want to eat it in Hakodate OK

Oh, Tsukiji is pretty good, this is better, way better

釧路まで行くの？釧路？行かない？札幌で終わり？稚内まで行く。一番北、

釧路何処？釧路は東の方、私は行where is Kushiro? Kushiro is in a eastward direction. What is Kushiro famous for? Same as Hakodate, famous for tasty fish!)

Where are you going in Sapporo?　Sapporo and Otaru are only a short stop. Coming back to Sapporo, is to go to Asahikawa, but if I can find something interesting, I'll drop in. Are you going to Otaru by ferryboat?

Today, I came here from Oomori, I'll stay here for about 3 days or so and stay at La Vista Bay Hotel tonight, next morning am to film the Fish Market again, and then maybe go to Noboribetu

Onsen!!

Sapporo, is it famous for Ramen? There is a Ramen alley

I did a Sapporo Ramen alley episode

They live in Sapporo

Jingisukan, lamb's meat, I don't know, it's famous in Sapporo and in Hokkaido too

Beef? Not beef, Lamb

Lamb I think, right?

tasty! Tasty? alright, I'll try

There are either pre-seasoned lamb meat or not seasoned one at all

There's Asahi Beer Garden which is a sepciality store for Jingisukan. Is that Sapporo Beer?, No Sapporo Beer Garden

Sapporo beer is famous here. In Sapporo, people drink only Sapporo beer, Is it true?

Sappro Beer Garden, like a Park, a big Thema-Park

We can eat there. Tasty? Of course
