程度の副詞

It's surprising to me that we've been in Japan for almost three years now

and we've never introduced you to tempura yet.

Martina: Hey, I have a real quick question.

Just kukuku yeah, I know it's important tendon like anybody else. Simon: Right, it's great!

Martina: But like remember when on our community page we were like,

Martina: It's just a little bit strange to me, huh?

Yeah. Let's- Come on. You're gonna like it.

Martina: Guys... I gotta tell you. There is some

'sagi-jobta' helicopter stuff happening here right now.

Martina: Simon's like... Simon: 'sagi-jobta' helicopter isn't a word that anybody understands.

In neither Korean or English or in any language apart from us two. Martina: Okay -

Well, in Simon-Martina speak, 'sagi' is when someone's being like insincere or like -

it's a Korean word for like calling someone out...

Martina: I don't remember how we came up with these words anymore!

Martina: Simon goes 'I wanna do a video on tempura'. Simon: Yes!

Martina: And I said, I also want to do a video on tempura,

but there's this really cool like, kind of western style

omurice shop that looks like it's European.

And Simon was like 'tempura!' and I was like

'Omurice!'. And we went back and forth. And then we said -

We could just put it up for vote... Simon: We could. Martina: on our community page!

And we could ask people which one they prefer. Simon: True.

But all the comments are saying 'hey, lots of people have already done omurice

So the people that are more vocal about it are the ones that voted for tempura.

Martina: Was that the vote? Simon: it's such a close thing. Martina: Was that the question?

I'm bigger than you, so my vote counts for more than you.

Gosh, I feel so small when I'm not holding the camera.

I'd like to let you know that I am holding in my heart

And I will hold this against you one day,

and be able to get some like leverage about going to like an arcade or something fun.

I don't think that's part of the deal. Martina: It is!

Yeah, I think the new plan is gonna be, uhm

Martina goes shopping while Simon tries to figure out where we're going.

Wow guys. That seems like something I would definitely wear.

I'm just gonna keep shopping until he catches up to me.

So is that why you're pulling me away... Martina: He's ready...

From the direction like I said we were going.

which is a word that I actually don't like when I see it in English

Oh, you're right! Simon: you're going for a tendon shop?

No, just like a bridge word. So 'ten' is for tempura and 'don' is for donburi

So it's a tempura rice bowl - is exactly what we're getting.

and the second one I think was shrimp. And that's it.

You can get a beer, you can get extra rice or miso soup.

But you can't choose any other toppings whatsoever.

You just sit here, and eat it, and love it!

I'm trying to remember which one's which. 'Anago' is from the lake.

Simon: Do you remember which from which... Martina: 'Unagi' is from the ocean.

That's probably not right. I hope there's a check mark on the screen right now

going 'bing bing bing bing' that I'm correct.

They're doing the old-school writing of numbers. And that's what this is.

My brain... too empty food tummy to think of this, ducky.

This is pretty much Mortal Kombat from the Edo time period.

And the only thing I ever think of when I think of intense songs is Mortal Kombat.

Right? That's like immediately when you want to fight someone you go

Martina: Gotta tell you, I have a lot of questions about these beans.

Martina: I've never seen these beans, right? Is it for putting water on?

Simon: I don't know. Martina: Do you put soup on it? Do you think it's tea?

See, I feel like every time you go to a Japanese restaurant, I feel like -

Okay. I've done my research. I know what I'm doing.

And then they just throw something out there

Nobody ever told, me what are these two beans for?

Are they smelly beans? Are these eating beans?

I'm just gonna eat one and see what it's about.

Martina: I don't know. I think you're supposed to put hot water.

Martina: Yes. I think that we only have...

Martina: You know what now? I don't know. No, don't eat it.
