So I know a lot of you are staying home these days

Maiko and I have actually been here a lot of the time. Aside from just like going out and shopping.

And one of the biggest things people have been doing is ordering food,

so I kind of wanted to share with you some of my favorite top picks that I've been ordering myself.

In fact, when we're not at home cooking, or actually ordering food,

which is probably a lot better than going out during this time.

And I don't know what service you use in your country but something that's been really popular recently in Japan.

Especially in Tokyo, it's UberEats. So all these places will be from UberEats.

Oh and one thing to note, for those of you who do live in Tokyo. I live in the Shibuya area.

So the places that I'm ordering from are local to this area, and so it may be different from where you are.

So at the end of the day,

I'm hoping you and your family stay safe during this time. And like always before I start, if you want to help support the channel

Check out the "Hold My Miso' merch. And if you want to see what I'm doing on the daily, check out my Instagram account

So without further ado, let's get our Japanese delivery food on!

Number one, Truffle Beef Sukiyaki Rice from Juban Ukyo Ebisu

Truffle shuffle truffle shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle shuffle. So basically, I don't get this one a lot at home.

Just because it's a little bit on the more expensive side, but I kind of wanted to show you that you can get something

that's pretty you know, how do you say, extravagant delivered to your home here in Japan.

So this is like a traditional Japanese meal. It's called Sukiyaki, but what's special about it.

is that it has

these truffles like these thinly sliced truffles that surround the top of it and then you have this nice

perfectly, what's not perfectly, it's just it's just an egg yolk.

Let me just break this for you guys and then we'll take a bite.

All right, egg has been broken. One thing about the egg is that it's just so

orange. The color of the egg is

so beautiful to me sometimes. When it's that orange, you can feel like it's really rich and, like, nutritious.

Now, look how big these pieces of meat are.

It's just lovely pieces

You can see that truffle has taken a ride with the meat just attached because of that egg yolk.

Just flip this around here. I don't know if you guys can see that to see that marbling.

Just get it with some rice. Dig deep down for that rice.

Oh...

I'm getting so excited!! I can't grab the rice!! Okay, I'm just gonna have to just take this rice

Okay there, just gonna have to take a bite of this. Might get messy in here.

(Slurping sounds)

Holy damn1 that is wonderful!

Oh, that meat is so tender!

Mixed in with the rice and the egg yolk, and then to top it all off

you have that truffle flavoring. And what's so amazing with every single bite,

you have the combination of the oil from the meat, you have the richness of the egg, and then the rice

creates this like really amazing sticky texture and that kind of brings out all of that umami.

Oh! It is just to die for and this being Sukiyaki,

you can taste kind of the soy sauce and the dashi.

Sometimes, you'll have Sukiyaki and it's like really really rich,

but this is kind of like lightly put on there so it's not overpowering

But you do have the egg and then you have the truffles that are kind of like accentuate the flavors

So it just brings it all together. Even like the egg adds additional flavor to this which is quite amazing.

You don't really have that like really really strong sukiyaki taste, but nonetheless it is delicious probably reads

Sometimes it's like I kind of go crazy and I just like ordered everything and it gets quite expensive

So you have to be careful so you can't order this stuff all the time

But on a special occasion like this when I'm sharing it with you guys generally worth it

Number two pork. Milfay katsu with cheese from ki mukotsu ABC hauntin. Can I get a what-what?

Micah

Whoa, whoa

Anyways, I'll be with myself. We in the building

Treat pop up a fried goodness. This is a pork cutlet

Also known as katsu it has this like breaded

punko on the outside and nice and crispy but what sets this one apart is that it has

cheese all up in

this again, its

Milfy mill no fee mill mill fee. No fee Malay falou

Whatever the word that I can't pronounce a thousand layers. Yes. Yes. Yes mix it in with some rice. That is a bite of Champions

I'm so happy and the thing is the pork is so tender

The fact is the meat itself is nice in the kind of like Airy its moist

but it's not like super super heavy and I've actually put

Sauce on top of it in Japan is like kind of like a sweet. Where's the Shire sauce?

You do have the option to go watch the shire or you can do like this ponzu hitter

But I've decided to go with kind of like this sweet almost like barbecue sauce

I would say but it's sweet and kind of just like gives it that extra

Goodness that we all want in our fried food

Mmm, look at the beautiful like layers of pork in there or the cheese kind of embedded inside

Of the pork and then the nice crispy crust. Oh

And that cheese is gooey gives it a really really nice

Texture to the crunchy outside moist pork and then inside you get that gooey. Gooey

Tenderness I can warm hug on a cold winter's day

We're doing this for you guys. Just showing you what's up here in Tokyo

So here it is a straight from the graham. The graham is actually a pancake place

It's a super popular for it's a fluffy

Style pancakes and you can see just the fluff in this right now time to take a bite from this creamy

pancake fluffiness

sensation

It's like a birthday in my mouth that is so creamy

Hmm it's a nice light whipped cream. Really Airy. It's kind of surrounded by this moist

Super extra fluffy pancake and then it has like this little density of what you would expect in a pancake

And it has that pancake taste but since it's a soufflé pancake

It's nice and airy which just pairs really really well with the cream is like a perfect dessert. I actually offer three different flavors

I ordered two they have the regular whipped cream standard flavor

They also have strawberry and chocolate and here is the strawberry and my favorite

Hmm what I love about this strawberry flavor, it's not like you're dull standard strawberry

It has kind of like a tangy taste to it those almost like very close to the sherbert side of strawberry and it's amazing

It's almost like a raspberry, but it's still strawberry and you can see like outer shell. It does have like that Penn

Pancake like style to it, but it's just a big super a pancake

I love the strawberry flavor is so much more than

Number four cold grilled lamb soup curry from Hokkaido soup curry. So again Oh

Righty. So this little combination here is one of my favorite soup curry specials

Basically, you get the curry here and then you get the rice here

Just smelling it right now

you can smell that strong lamb smell and it's kind of like has this smoky smell to it as well, which is really

really intoxicating

I can see that there's just so many spices in here already when they I love is how

I've been filled with a meat so you can actually get different types of meat

I got lamb which I always usually get but they also have like chicken leg chicken neck

You can't even get like a vegetable curry so you can get like different types, which is really nice about this place

But you know, I always go with a lamb these days is my favorite did all of this meat Wow

Let me just get some rice in here. What's nice about the rice? It's not just like a straight white rice

I think that's kind of like again my rice so you got like different grains

They don't put too much but it got a little bit of that color and additional flavor. Let's just get some rice in there

Wow, the first fight is always so amazing you can get like all the flavors of the curly it's kind of like a smoky curry

all of like the flavors from the lamb have kind of just like

Marinated into the soup and so get some more of that rice in here

Mound

Delicious rice dipped in let me see if I can get some meat trapped in there as well

My spoon can't carry that much meat. Well, I'm gonna do it anyway

Look at all that meat. I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna see if I can get in

Mm-hmm

And what I just love about this soup is just a

Complex of flavor like you get like a sweetness from the onions you have like all of the different vegetables

You have some pumpkin in here. You have some eggplant you get some corn in here

You have the egg to have the okra even broccoli

You just get all of these like different

vegetables and everything just mixes and marinades into this soup and all those flavors combined have just such a

Complex nature to it. The thing is they don't skimp out on the vegetables

Look at this you get up like a half a freakin potato in there. That's amazing how big that is

So if you're looking for a soup curry hitter, this is the joint and number five

Okay, Maki sushi from kampachi nori Tamaki Harajuku. So I got these sushi rolls

It comes in a set of three you can actually order it individually

That's what I do most of the time because you can actually choose which ones you want

But wanted to save a little bit money because spending a little bit too much on the other stuff

So when I first came to Japan I was so confused on how to open up. These sushi rolls

You've seen them a lot in convenience

but all you have to do is pull this red strip down once you've peeled that red strip open it up like

So and then you have this like access here

he can actually just rip it like that and you kind of just

roll it like so and you pull it out just roll it now a

little secret that a lot of Japanese people do if you take like this little like seaweed flap right here just kind of

Tear it like so and then what you do is you take it and use it like that

To hold it. So when you're eating from this end, you don't actually drip any of the contents it works

Well when you have like not though inside which is like ten stitches like fall at the bottom

So this one is a salmon and avocado
