when you start seeing Oden pop up in the local convenience stores.

コンビニでおでんが買えるようになります。

Now, it's really great to have Oden from a convenience store

寒い時に、コンビニで買ったおでんを食べるのは

and to stand outside in the cold with the big warm basket of Oden

いいんだけど、

but there's something really special about going to an izakaya that serves Oden.

居酒屋でおでんを食べるのはもっと特別な体験です。そういう居酒屋に行きましょう！

Come we're going to take you to a place that serves it

もう食べているだけど、今夜、二倍の量を食べたい。

even though I am already eating Oden

トールのハンマーにかけて、今夜は「おでんの夜」と呼ぶことにします！

but I'm gonna double Oden tonight.

冗談分かったかな…「おでん」ってさ…「オーディン」に聞こえて…

By Thor's hammer, I decree that it is Oden Night! Get it? Cuz Oden like Thor Odin...

まあ、いいや…

S- Odin..

サ）もう十分だよ…

- Ah..

三鷹市　東京都

S- Boo

駅から遠くこのような場所はいいね

- I'll be here all night.

あまり人がいなくて

S- Please no more

あれはここに住んでいる住人の自転車で

この場所を知っている人は僕たちだけ

I love spots like this that are far from the stations

内緒だからな～

where people don't actually straggle by.

内緒だけど、紹介します～！

These are all the bikes of the locals that are coming here.

言いたいこと…　はい？

Only we know about this place,

何回も石につまずいて痛くて…(#@$!)

and we don't wanna tell you about it.

あそこの石を２個蹴って

But we're gonna do it anyways.

これを蹴って「痛い！」って

- I'd like to mention. That I tripped on every freaking pebble on the way over here

この石も蹴った…

I kicked the first one, then I kicked the second one.

着いたばかりし、まだお酒飲んでないのに

First I did this and I went

「まだ」ね

Oh gee

「まだぁぁ」！

Then I hit this one and I went

飲もうか！

Gosh

こんばんは

And then I whipped around and I hit this one I just stumbled out of here

三鷹のやまちゃんに行ったことがあるけど、偶然に見つかった

and I haven't even had a drink yet.

インスタグラムでおでんを見て

S- YET

「トールのハンマーにかけて…

S- Yet! Eh, the night's still young!

普通の発音だったけど、古ノルド語の発音になっちゃった。

M- So we came to Yamachans before.

結構大きいね

We stumbled upon it by accident

さっきマーティナはコンビニのおでんを紹介したんだけど

and then I saw an Instagram they started serving Oden,

今回僕の番だ

and I was like by Thor's hammer

さあ、豆腐、たまご

we are coming to Yamachans

巾着と大根があって

for Oden TONIGHT!

マ）勝手に「巾着」と呼んでｗ

S- What accent is that??

「巾着」と呼ぶんだろう？

あとは、これなんだっけな…

あの…

M- Oh these are huge.

やっぱり買ったものと手料理に違いがあるよね。

S- Wow

So Martina began the video by introducing the convenience store kind

But this is my turn to show you a little bit we have here tofu. We have some egg

サ）全然分かんないからw

We have the money bag. We have the radish.

小麦粉と色々な挽いたものを混ぜて

M- We have the money bag. You just said it so casually.

竹に入れて蒸します。そのあとは、切って食べます。

S- That's what they're called. They're called money bags, aren't they?

それは本当だと思うんですけど

And then we have I don't know what this is called

もし間違ったら、それもこのビデオで表しておきますね。（正しかったです）

It's just like a Oden just like a fish cake.

こんな大きいのは初めてだよ。普通は小さいんだけどね

半分ぐらいかな？

- I mean it is the difference between having a store-made dumpling and

意外と大きい～　よね？

having a homemade dumplings

どう比べれば分からない

S- So what is this that you're eating?

ただ…ユニークな見かけ

M- The name of this is on the screen right now

マ）ダンプリングの食感に似てない？

S- Because we don't know it at the moment

焼きたてローフみたいな食感かな？

M- Chiiaaahhow, chaawon, chhiiuuwann

マ）ビーフシチューに入れるダンプリングに

It's like a flour a really thick flour

似ているんじゃない？

Mixed with a bunch of ground of things and they put it inside of a bamboo pole

サ）そうそう似ている！

and it's like steamed and then cut open.

「ハーティー」な食べ物だね。（材料たくさん入っている元気出せる食べ物。心を込めた食べ物の意味も入ってる）

I'm pretty sure that's right

マ）確かに「ハーティー」で、温かいね。

and if it's not right there's something on the screen right now

温かいお酒と飲んだら最高だぜ

with like a big I X going through my face being like that's not right at all.

覚えておいてほしい

This is the biggest boy I've ever seen.

冷たいお酒は冷たい食べ物

Normally they're quite small. I mean half the size of it maybe right

温かい酒は温かい食べ物

S- Maybe. M- This is like wildly big. That's what she said?

うまい。良いお酒だ

- I don't even know what to compare this look to it's just so different

もう食べた？

M- See what I mean about the dumpling?

マ）少しだけ

- It feels like a freshly baked loaf.

マ）また注文したいならできるけど全部食べちゃうみたいので

M- You know like when you have a beef stew, and you put those dense

後で注文できるから

not the fluffy dumplings? S- Yes this tastes like

マ）食べちゃったね

a dumpling in a beef stew. It's so hearty

お母さんは太い麺を作ってくれたもので

M- Hearty S- Warming

名前忘れたけど

S- and wholesome M- Hearty and warming is exactly the words I would use to describe it.

太くて水に入れる麺だったんだ

S- And having some with warm sake is the only way to go.

スープで煮てからその太くて白い麺は、これに似てる。

Remember cold sake for cold foods warm sake for warm foods

「クルークミキ」だったっけ？いや、「クルースキ」は「麺」という意味なので

Oh yeah!

（麺類色々）

Did you already have your half? M- I only had a bite of it.

知らない。お母さん、このビデオ見ていると思うんだけど

We could always order more

何と呼ぶか教えてください

but it seemed to me that you were gonna eat all that S- We COULD always order more

（ポーランド語）子供の時によく作ってくれたあの太い麺って何というんだっけ？

We could always order more

サイモンのママ）コピットカ？

M- He just. I mean he went for it.

サ）コピットカ？コピットカだって。

S- My mom used to make these really chubby noodles, I don't even know what they were called

コ・ピ・ッ・ト・カ

But they were like fat like this and there were water noodles

（サイモンの両親）小麦粉とジャガイモを作った料理で

and she boiled them in soup.

サ）そうそう、とっても太かった

The fat white and doughy ones.

（サイモンの両親）そう、太くて四角い麺だよ

That's what this tastes like.

コピットカ！

*Attempts to speak polish*

I don't know. Mom, I know you watch my videos all the time.

でっち上げたでしょ？

Can you like call me and tell me mom. What are they called? Okay

６時までのものだから注文しちゃった。まだ注文できる限りな。

This alone is worth the price of admission

It didn't cost anything

♪♪♪

柔らかくてクリーミーで美味しい皮があって、中身はパテのように滑らかで

- I know we're supposed to be doing a video about Oden,

みじん切りにした長ネギ、胡麻油と醤油をかけて

but we just got their special that they brought out to us.

最高です。

It's only available until 6:30. I gotta get it while it's here.

イギリス人はたぶん「それいいね、それ」というんだろうね

And that's what I love about Japanese izakaya,

気づいたんだけど、イギリス人は「それ」とかを繰り返す傾向があるから

you always have the random specials, say yes to every one of them.

「それ美味しいね、それ」

Soft creamy with nice little skin on the outside

イギリス人の喋り方を勉強しているんだ。よくやった！

smooth pate creaminess on the inside.

おでんの美味しさは出汁にあると思う。

We got finely chopped green onions, sesame oil, and soy sauce on it. It's just-

出汁には味がなければおでんにも味がなくなるからですね。

It's just smashing it.

こっちは大きなフトい豆腐

Paul Hollywood would say "that's cracking that."

出汁の味が入ってるから

I noticed how in the UK they ususally start and end with the same pronoun.

全然豆の味がしない。

That's delicious that, huh for our UK viewers and learning how to speak your language. M- Good job

皆様、こちらは一番です。

M- I think what makes the Oden is having an amazing dashi

みんなが食べたいものです。

like the broth that it's soaking in has to have a lot of flavor

金玉に見えるだろう？ほら、想像してみてほしい

so that it actually soaks into all the stuff and this is a giant thick piece of tofu.

白いお餅もいっぱい入ってる。

It's absorbed all the broth and it has like a non-beany taste for once.

マ）そんな風に説明していいのかな

S- Ladies and gentlemen, this here right now is the best one

おう、美味しくてソースがいっぱい「金玉」だから

Everyone always wants these. In there are these like little saggy nut sacs. Look at that

今まではこれが一番美味しかった。

Can you can you imagine a saggy nutsack and it's full with stuffed white mochi balls?

美味しくてクリーミーななお餅です。

M- Is this really the way you're describing this?

全部食べていい？

S- Yes, look this is a delicious marinated nutsack. M- dripping everywhere

サ）もちろん

S- Mmm, this is the best one so far.

本当？お餅多すぎない？

It's got this beautiful really soft creamy mochi in the middle.

お餅は、まるでグレービーのようだね

M-. Can I have the rest of it? S- Of course you can girl.

サ）確かに！

M- Are you sure? This might be too much mochi for me.

出汁につけているからビーフの味もします。

S- Oh, yeah

すごくグレービーの味がするけどね！すごくおいしい！

M- The mochi almost tastes like a gravy.

良いおでん屋に行かないと、おでんのすごさが分からないと思います。

S- Yeah, M- I think because it's been soaking inside this like broth for so long

このお店はたまたまに見つけただけど、外から見ると

it's absorbed more of a beefy flavor to it.

いい感じだったので、入ってみました。

It really tastes like a gravy that is so great. S- That was lovely

その時には、お店の開店の周年だったので

M- You really got to go to a place that actually makes good Oden

職人さんたちはズボンを履いていなかった。

to realize that Odin is awesome when it's made right.

なぜか分からないんだけど、居酒屋にはそういう習慣があるそうで

S- So we found this place one night when we were just wandering by

マ）日本の伝統的な褌を履いていたんだけどね

and we saw the outside and looked really inviting

ズボンなかったけど

So we came in, and it happened to be their anniversary at the time.

ズボンなしでレストランに行ったことあるの？

So none of the owners we're wearing pants.

日本に来てくれれば、できますよ。

M- You heard that correctly everyone.

これずーっと待っていたんだよ。いつも食べるから、これ。

S- Yes, supposedly that's a tradition for Izakayas if it's the anniversary don't wear pants.

大きい大根です。

M- no, but they were wearing the traditional Japanese sumo coverings.

出汁に漬けると、魔法のジャガイモのようなものになる。説明しづらいけど

S- Covering themselves up, but just no pants.

焼き芋というかフライドポテトというか、そういう感じで

I mean, have you ever been to a restaurant with no pants? Come to Japan?

しかも、低脂肪だよ。

And go Ja-pantless

だから、お腹が空かないので太らないよ。

M- oh BOOOOO

大根の甘さが少し残っているので

*maniacal laughter*

出汁の塩味もあるからすごく美味しい。

M- I've been waiting to eat this piece.

食感もすごい。

This is actually my favorite thing to eat almost all the time

ビーガン（菜食主義者）なら、食べられますよ。

this is just a gigantic daikon like a huge radish and

魚の出汁だけど

when it's soaked in broth, it becomes like a magical potato.

サ）ダメかな…それは

I don't know how to explain it.

やっぱりダメだね。

Like we have a really good baked potato or fried potato

サ）オーマイガー！おでんのビデオなのになんでキノコ天ぷらを食べているんだろう。おすすめだったから食べるしかない。

it's got all those flavors soaking in it and it's so low-fat.

マ）科学のためよ！

You can just eat so many of them

サ）食べるしかないね

and then not be hungry and then not gain weight.

これって何か知っている？白子だよ。

You know and the sweetness from the radish still lingers a bit it

覚えている？

So the saltiness of the broth like really bounces up beautifully the texture falls apart.

天すしのビデオへ戻りましょう！

Oh man. Hey vegans. This is for you

これは、炙り河豚の白子です。

soaked in fish.

食べごろです。

S- I guess...

もし、「白子」を知らないなら、調べてみてください。

I mean we're thinking about you were trying.

魚の精巣だよ！美味しいけど

Oh my god, this was supposed to be about Oden.

（変なこと考えるな）

Why do we have the fried mushroom tempura? Who knows?

とてもクリーミーで突然…

They said it was a special, so M- It's for science.

（変なこと考えるな）

- we got to keep trying everything.

噛んだら、生卵の味がしている。まあ、似ているから

oh yeah!

美味しくて柔らかい卵黄の味がする

- You know what this is?

みんな、フライド精巣食べたい？

S- What is it?

本当にクリーミー（変なこと考えるなよ）

- Milt, do you remember?

白子は魚の精巣だということを知らなければ、それはともかく、美味しいと思う。

S- Here we have grilled fugu Milt, this is the perfect season for it right now.

魚の精巣って美味いぞ

If you don't know what Milt is, look it up.

マ）卵黄の味がするね

- It's a sperm sack mate! It's delicious, but so creamy and milky

サ）まるで天ぷらの皮があるクリーミーな卵黄を食べているようだ。

that you don't expect it. You bite into and you're like

ただの魚の精巣だ！

this just tastes like an egg yolk.

日本に来る時に、ぜひ魚の精巣を食べてみてください。

I guess technically it is an egg yolk like a delicious soft egg yolk.

魚の精巣のお店に行って

- Ooh, are you ready to try some deep fried sperm sac>

魚の精巣を買うんだ。

So creamy, if you didn't know that it was sperm sac,

美味いから

I think that tasted would be a lot better.

（セクシーな声で）この白子を醤油に

They just need a whole new branding campaign because it's yummy. Sperm sac is delicious.

（セクシーな声で）止めないで

M- It just tastes like egg yolk.

（セクシーな声で）もう十分かもしれないよ。待ってるから

- Yeah, it just tastes like a very creamy yolk with a nice crust around it from the tempura.

（セクシーな声で）あと塩か…まだ待ってるよ

It's just sperm sac.

（セクシーな声で）やっと食べられますか

You know what when you come to Japan eat some sperm sac god damn it.

今朝結構大変だったの

Go to the sperm sac shop and see the sperm sac specialist

昨日も一昨日も大変だった。

and get yourself some special sperm sacs.

諦めないように階段を作ってみせます。

They're yummy.

皆さんにおでんについてのビデオを撮影したかったんだ。

Oh yeah, take that fish sperm and dip that.

サイモンに「一緒に階段を作っていきましょう！」と言って

Yep. Just yeah, just keep dip. Yep. I think you're stalling at this point

今、いつもと同じような状態じゃなくて、あまり元気はないけど

That seems like you dipped it more than enough you're going for it.

まだ痛いし

No, you're putting it in the salt now

ここに来た時にただおでんを食べたくて、撮影する予定だったが

I see you're still stalling. Okay, you could yep dip that. Okay, finally

色々なおでんの種類を食べてびっくりして

- Honestly guys, I was having a really rough morning

キノコの天ぷらとか、今まで食べていない鶏の肝臓とか。

the past couple two days have been pretty tough ones for me.

色々挑戦して体験して、それも階段を作るために必要なことだと思います。

I've be trying to build myself a ladder and I really wanted to share a video about Oden.

だから、食べに来てよかった

And I said, Simon, let's go out there and let's do something to build a ladder.

サ）そう、よくやった！

So I'm not my complete enthusiastic self I think

マ）ありがとう

because I'm still working through it like a lot of pain right now.

サ）ここから、慰めるのはちょっと大変。カメラを持っているから

You know, I came here just thinking that I would have some Oden and talk to you guys about it,

サ）マーティナが言った通りに

but they surprised me by offering all of these different things that they have on the menu,

もしここに来なくて、色々挑戦しなかったら、

and it was so nice to try all these different kinds of fried mushrooms

魚の精巣を食べる機会はなくなるだろう。

And to have some you know

白い玉が入ってるタヌキの金玉を食べる機会もなくなるだろう。

Liver chicken liver that haven't had before ,

それが挑戦しなければならない経験だ。

so leaving yourself open to this kind of thing will give yourself some more

それ、いいアドバイスだ。 食べさせてありがとう

experiences that you can use for building or ladders,

金玉を

so I'm happy we came.

もう外に出ているけど、スペースがあってもまだ抱きしめている。

S- Yeah, you did it girl. Yeah is difficult for me to know where to touch you

外はちょっと寒いから

when I'm behind the camera

抱きしめたいから言い訳かも

- I'm like uuuhhh S- Oh yeah

マ）体温必要、頂戴。

- Shoulder pats

おでんのビデオは以上です。

S- You know, I think Martina is definitely right if I didn't come here

特に魚の精巣。おでんのことを用意したけど予想と違って

and leave myself open to new experiences

マ）いいえ、そんな…

I wouldn't have had a hot mouth full of sperm sac, and this little

このビデオ、精巣と関係ない

Tanuki nut sac filled up with these white chewy balls

日本に来てほしくて、おでんを食べてほしい。

Like these are all experiences that I had to leave myself open to by coming to Japan.

冬の人気、愛と温もりを込めた食べ物です。しかも、魚の精巣も食べられるよ。

Good words of advice love.

帰ってからいい話になるかも

Thank you for motivating me.

「日本にい時に、温かい精巣食べたよ」って話

M- No problem.

そのために日本に来たんだろう

- to eat balls...[Martina laugh]

おいでよ～　日本に～

I like how we're outside now,

マ）言いたいことはちょっと違うかな

we have so much more room but we're even snugglier than before
