So what a lot of people don't know is that Don Quijote

知らねー奴も多いんだけど

Actually has some really good Japanese bentos. A lot of people go to convenience stores or department

ドンキホーテってうめー弁当が結構あるんだ

stores, but people sleep on Don Quijote when in fact

コンビニとかデパ地下とかで買う人もいるけど

They have really inexpensive and affordable bentos in my opinion

ドンキを見逃してる人も多いんだよな

The value is a lot better than convenience stores because of just how much you get for the price

ドンキにはすげー安くて買いやすい弁当が揃ってんだ

So when I'm really hungry then I go to Don Quijote

個人的にはコンビニよりもかなりコスパがいいと思う

So Don Quijote is known for having all sorts of Japanese goods

値段の割にとにかく量が多いからな

Some of them are larger than the other so you need to be mindful

だからオラは腹が減ってるときはドンキに行くな

The one I went to is a mega donki

ドンキにはいろんな日本の商品が売られてる

Which just means they have everything because it is a mega donki

店舗によって規模も違うんだけど

Then they have a supermarket which means they do have a deli section, which is where I got all of these lunch bento's

オラが言ったのはメガドンキっつって

Oh and one tip for you guys. If you go there in the evening, then they sell the Japanese bentos at a reduced price

とにかくなんでも置いてる店なんだ

So for today's video we were actually planning on going to another street food area, but it started to rain the typhoon is coming

メガドンキには食品が売ってて、

So we had to do something inside and therefore like what better way than to show you guys some of like my favorite

デリコーナーもあるんだ

Indoor bento foods at Don Quijote. So that's what we're doing here

そこで今日の弁当は買ってきたんだけど

So if you like this video then thank the weather

あ、それと一つアドバイス

I guess if you don't like this video then blame the weather and if you like my Tokyo shirt

午後に行くと弁当が割引されてることもあるぞ

I'm gonna leave a link below for you guys to check it out. All right, let's check out my top foods

実は今日本当は食べ歩きに行こうと思ったんだけど

of Don Quijote! Number 7 beef kalbi yakiniku. I

台風で雨が降ってきたから

Love how it just comes with an egg and it's an onsen tamago. Meaning that it's cooked halfway

室内でできることをって思っって

So it gets like really really runny. Ah

だから家で食うドンキの弁当を紹介することにしたってわけ

It's really sweet and garlicky, dip it a little bit into the egg because that's how we roll (Aw yeah, that sounds good)

だからこの動画を楽しんでもらえたら天気に感謝

Mmm the meat is quite tender and when you dip it in the egg

逆に楽しくなかったら天気のせいだな

You get the eggy flavor in there mixed in with a like BBQ tare sauce. It's quite sweet

それと、オラの東京シャツがきになるなら下のリンクからチェックしてくれよな

Just like a really really gooey masterpiece. To be honest, like I actually prefer this then going to the gyudon shop

よし、じゃオラのドンキフードトップ７の紹介だ！

I find meat to be more tender and I just like the sauce better and kalbi in general

卵が入ってくるのが好きなんだよな

Is a good meat, right? It's like really tender. This isn't my go-to

これは温泉卵っつって、半熟なんだ

Really? I usually go for fish over meat, but I can tell this

甘くてがガーリックな匂いがする

will taste good,

卵につけてっと

because it smells good.

肉は柔らかい

It's like, look at how-

卵の味もうまい

How's it glistening

で焼肉のタレソースもうまい

I mean the meat isn't the best in the world, but for ¥398 and this much meat

甘いし、ぐちゃっとしてる傑作品だ

comes with it, it's good. I really love the tare,

てか正直オラは牛丼屋よりこれが好きなんだ

The sauce it's like really sweet and coats the rice really well. I could just eat the sauce and rice together.

肉が柔らかく感じるし、タレの味がこっちが好みなんだ

Number 6 Makunouchi Nori Ben. Are you all ready for this?

カルビ自体もいい肉ってか

So this is a nori bento and I recommend this one because it just has a lot of different foods in it

柔らかいしな

It has a different like menu items. It has like a tempura shrimp, shumai, which is nice

これは私の定番じゃないのよね

It has a chicken ball, fish tartar, and then Kim pita which is a gobo root

普段肉より魚派なんだ

It has egg

でもこれはすでに美味しいのわかる

And and again, it has a potato and then you have rice here

だっていい匂いなんだもん

Which is laden with some nori. You get kind of like all of it. Like it's a very Japanese type bento and comes with everything.

だって見てよ

Let's just start with like the main attraction because you know

テカってるし

I don't like to mess around with stuff. Fried fish, can't ever go wrong with fried fish

２９８円？コスパいいね

The fish is decent, it's not like the crispiest fried fish

お肉はとびきり美味しいわけじゃないけど

you'll ever have. It's kind of like what you expect in a bento for like this kind of fish

２９８円でこれだけお肉が入ってるなんて

but the sauce itself, that tartar sauce is really nice and it has kind of like a like a sourness to it. Look at that shumai.

超お得じゃん

Basically, this is more like a Chinese dish, but for some reason you find it a lot in Japanese dishes

タレが美味しい

Mmm very glutinous. Yeah, I mean standard, it's very standard.

甘くてさ、お米をコーティングしてくれる

This is like very on par with a Japanese bento. And this is like chicken balls and it's a little bit sweet I expect

ご飯だけでいけるわ

It's soft

これはのり弁っつって

Sometimes the chicken balls is like grisly but this one is not so grisly, it's just like pure meat. There was actually some grilled fish

これはいろんな種類が楽しめるからおすすめだ

bentos, but I decided to stay away

エビ天だろ、しゅうまい

I've had it a few times and I never really liked it because I find that the grilled fish is either like too fishy for

つくねに

me, or like just like too soggy, or I don't know. I for some reason I've never had a good experience getting the grilled fish

フィッシュタルタル

so I like never have it myself.

きんぴら、ごぼう

Like, this is probably like the closest I'll get to like as a Japanese side bento's. And this is Paolo's Top Seven

あと卵にまたポテトが入ってる

so this is not what I usually buy and especially noriben is like a

それからのりと詰められたライス

How do you say it's like the type of bento that never like get the shine?

色々詰まった超日本らしい弁当だ

It's always like you're wacky alcohol smokey. (P: Absorbent?)

メインから行こうぜ

No, like if it was like a drama like there's like a main person this it's like a schoolteacher

グダグダすんのは嫌だからな

Yeah, like super super supporting character that like never gets on the camera

フライした魚がまずいわけがねぇ

Like once a week or something. (P: Like you) What? I'm a sidekick! I'm more like yakiniku bento

魚はまぁまぁだ

The Tempura's are really good. It has a hint of like a coconut shrimp

超サクサクってわけではねぇ

But still has sweet tempura sauce on the top, it's really good. Let's see the noriben part.

弁当に入ってくるやつって感じだな

No, the bento is called 'noriben' which indicates it is the main part.

でもソース、タルタルソースはいいぞ

No, so between rice and nori, it has

ちょっと酸っぱい感じもあって

Bonito flakes, like I think there's like a little bit of mayonnaise

これはシュウマイ、中華料理だけど

Yeah, so like it does have flavor

なぜか日本の料理で出没すんだよな

I would actually buy this.

グルテンって感じ

Tuna salmon Ni-shoku don. I really enjoy

うん、普通だな、かなり普通だ

Sashimi, but I also love

これはつくね

Fish bowls like this. One of my favorites is negitoro and it's negitoro is kind of like a mashed up

おそらく甘いんじゃないかと思う

Tuna, but this one is nice because it comes with

柔らかくて、、

Negitoro, sashimi salmon, the regular maguro; your tuna, and it also comes with

つくねっててかてかしてることがあるんだけど

Salmon bits like like chopped up salmon. Think we're supposed to eat this with chopstick, but maybe a spoon is fine

これそうじゃなくて肉って感じだ

I think I put way too much wasabi on there, but oh wells

焼き魚弁当も結構あるんだけど

Mm-hmm. The negitoro is quite buttery and soft and fluffy. For some reason

何度か買って見て好きだったことがないんだよな

I feel like doesn't have a lot of taste that you get in like really like nice sushi restaurants

焼き魚はさ、、

So you almost want to put a lot of like soy sauce on it to like get that taste, but I still like negitoro nonetheless

オラの好みより青魚臭かったり

like the fish at

ベシャっとしてるってか、とにかくいい思い出がないんだ

Convenience stores, the fish at Don Quijote, is like not gonna be the freshest fish in the world like to be honest with you

だからオラはもう買わないんだけど

But still, if you want, just avoid all the fried food if you want to avoid all the meat and stuff

これがオラが買う一番日本っぽい弁当かな

it's like this is a good alternative and

これはパオロのトップ７だから

398 yen for all of this fish. It's quite, it's, again

私が普段買うのじゃないんだけど

It's as cheap as you know, some onigiris and you get all of this food

特にのり弁ってさ、

So this is actually what I buy on a daily basis

なんて言うのかな

I know it's not the best but I love sushi

スポットライトを当たらないお弁当っていうの？

And if I go to a sushi restaurant then like if I have like one or two pieces, it goes up to this price

いつも脇役？

But this way you get like full sashimi pieces. They actually have different like fish combinations

脇役ってなんていうんだっけお

This one's like salmon and tuna

違う〜もしドラマがあったら

they have

メインキャラがいるでしょ

Only tuna or the only salmon so you can just go there and like choose the one that you like on the day. Itadakimasu

そしたらこれは学校の先生くらい、わかるでしょ

I Bought this so many times. I usually think their Salmon's a bit too oily

サポーティングキャラクターか

but their tuna is actually pretty good like not like super good, but like edible. Better than

超超脇役でほぼ出てこないような役よ

The salmon. But I always end up buying this one...

週一くらい

Number 4

マイコみたいな感じか

Unaju

私は再度キックでしょ！？

U-NA-GI, so unagi, in general

私はどっちかっていうと焼肉弁当よ

It's basically grilled freshwater eel. And the opposite of that is Anago, which is like kind of the

天ぷら美味しい！ココナッツシュリンプみたいな風味がある

opposite

でも上には甘い天ぷらソースがかかってる

Well, the whole other one is like opposite water so oh it's like from the moon

美味しい

Yeah, one is freshwater one saltwater. But check this out

のり弁の部分食べよっと

This one was like only well, I wouldn't say only, but it's 690 yen. Usually when you get unagi

それなんか脇役の子供じゃね

It costs like 1,200 yen, 1,500 yen. So this is quite a good value

ご飯と乗りの間にはね

If you've never had unagi and you want to try it it usually comes with a sweet sauce on top

鰹節が挟まってるの

But it comes with like a brown rice in this, sometimes

あと多分、、、マヨネーズ？

It comes with a white rice, but in this one it comes with a brown rice

だから味はついてるよ

It comes with a tamagoyaki and it has some pickles

私買うかも

I don't know like bentos, Japanese people really love their pickles and then it comes with like this

オラは刺身が大好きなんだけどさ

Sansho, which is like uh almost like a Chinese

こういう海鮮丼も好きなんだ

Spice, kinda gives like a numbing effect and it's a little bit spicy but not too spicy like in this sense

オラの好きなのの一つはネギトロで

This one is not like the spiciest sansho. Let's take like the first bite

ネギトロは潰したマグロみたいなやつ

it's cool how they like leave the

これはネギトロも入ってるし

Skin still on the eel so you can see like if I were just like to pick this whole thing up

サーモン

Which I'm gonna do, you can see on the back side here

普通のマグロ

You can still see the skin of the uhm unagi. Take the first bite

そレから小さい切り身のサーモンも入ってる

Mmm, the unagi is still moist, the sauce itself, as expected, is really sweet

多分箸で食うものだと思うけど

But the sansho on top of it kind of gives it like it balances out the sweetness

スプーンでもいいか

And gives it a little bit of us like a spicy kick. Overall, this is like a good unagi meal

げ、わさびつけすぎた

I think maybe someone that's not not super hungry. This would be perfect

まいっか

But if you're really really hungry, maybe the rice will tide you over but there's not a lot of meat

ネギトロは滑らか

I just like how they give you this option at donki

柔らかくてふわふわだ

Whereas in like a lot of convenience stores, you'll never find unagi. ¥698

でもなぜかいい感じの寿司屋で食うのよりも

Good deal.

味が薄い感じがする

I'm surprised how big the unagi piece is. Oh wow, it's really thick

だから醤油をいっぱいかけたくなる

Tastes different. (P: The sauce?) No, the fish. You know how unagi is usually like in your mouth, really really soft and like really oily

とはいえネギトロは好きだけどな

This is like a really 'tanpaku' (How do I explain 'tanpaku'). Oh, it's like light. Not light, (P: Dense?) Dense. Another word. Not dry

コンビニの魚とか

But like less oily. Oh, wow. It's like you're eating completly like different thing. I'm usually used to like really fluffy

ドンキにある魚は

Unagi versus like crispy grilled

正直めちゃくちゃ新鮮ってわけじゃねぇ

Unagis are all high-class and there are two different types, crispy and fluffy and I prefer fluffy some people prefer crispy, you know?

でも揚げ物とか

(P: Which one is that?) Neither.

肉を避けたいなら

(It's a mystery) it's like I'm eating grilled fish like regular grilled fish

これはいいチョイスなんじゃねーかな

number three

しかも２９８円でこんだけ魚食えるんだぜ

jumbo karaage

どっかのおにぎりよりも安いしな

This presentation would not be complete without some fried chicken from donki

これは私が普段結構買うやつ

so the difference between this fried chicken karaage and the katsu is a

ベストってわけじゃないけどお寿司好きだし

Katsu is breaded with panko and this is breaded with a flour, to be honest

もしお寿司屋さんに行って

I actually prefer when it's breaded with flour because you get like more of a crunch. They're both good but, damn fried chicken

２、３貫食べたらこの値段になるでしょ

We actually came with like two options at the store one was a daikon oroshi, but I chose this yuzu. Kosho. It's like mixing

でもこれならお刺身がいっぱい！

wasabi and like citrus together

お店にはいろんな魚の組み合わせがあるんだよ

I guess that's how I would explain it. Drippy drip just like that

これはサーモンとマグロだけど

Like it's just kind of like wasabi, see how like thick it is

マグロづくしとか、サーモンづくしとかもあるの

Since I have like microwaved it it doesn't have that crunch that I expected which is fine

だからその日食べたいものを選べていいでしょ

The meat itself is still pretty tender and juicy

これなんども買ってるんだけど

because I've added the Kosho like you get a lot of like savoriness and so I actually

サーモンはいつもちょっと脂っこいの

Prefer that I kind of like the saltiness. I could just eat fried chicken all day

でもマグロは結構美味しい

I like how it comes with a spaghetti, mashed potatoes and again the pickles. Definitely a full meal

死ぬほど美味しいってわけじゃないけど、食べられるレベル

You can tell though cuz you get so much meat

サーモンよりも美味しい

This is like something that Maiko wouldn't be able to finish, I could definitely finish this. Good fried chicken

うなぎ

But doesn't beat Maiko mom's fried chicken

大体こういうのはうなぎの蒲焼きだ

Yeah this, I wouldn't...buy for a lunch. Let me try Paolo's lunch. Itadakimasu

でその逆はアナゴで

It's a bit, dry for me. It's not my favorite

なんつーか、、あれだ

Number two

逆

menchi-katsu

逆じゃないから

In fact, there's so many fried foods at Don Quijote

だって片方は逆の水にいるだろ

I like the menchi-katsu, the aji fry, and the fried chicken. Unfortunately I just can't eat all of them today

両方川にいるんじゃないの

So I wanted to choose my favorite and I don't know, see the thing is I actually liked the fried chicken

片方は海水でもう片方は淡水

I liked the aji fry probably is like my least favorite out of the three, but I would say depending on my mood

でもこれさ、たったの、

I'll go for the menchi-katsu or the fried chicken

たったのではねーけど６９０円

But since we have other fried chicken already, then I decided to go with the menchi-katsu and check out this fried delight.

普通にうな重買うと１２００円とか１５００円はするから

The crunch we wanted it's so krispity krunchity, have to do the ASMR shot again, like always

うなぎトライしたいとかならお手頃だと思う

What's interesting about this like you'll get back that definitely like crunchy crunchy bits

普通あまーいタレがかかってるんだけど

The meat actually inside is very fluffy and airy that's not like a dense meat at all

これは茶色い米が入ってる

Mm-hmm. There's bits of onions in here

白米なこともあるんだけど、これは茶色だ

If you've ever had turkey stuffing then the meat is almost kind of like that but a little more dense

それから卵焼きと

But it's on the areas that some kinds could not like a really like some of the really menchi-katsus

また漬物

I've had. Its almost eating like a meat potato chip. It's so good

なんで日本人はこんなに漬物が好きかな

It's crispy though

あと山椒も入ってる

And number one chicken katsu curry I

中国のスパイスで

Love this thing. Put it this way, If my go-to had a go-to, this would be its go-to

痺れる感じだな

It's so good. And this is like what I always get what I'm really really super hungry. Just look at the volume and it's oh

ちょっと辛いけどそんなでもねぇ

So delicious for all of this meat it could feed like seven children one slice for each child

皮がついたままなのもいい

One, two, three, four, five, six. Oh only six children. Sorry

こうやって上に持ち上げると

Well, the last child could get the pickles here

今するけど

I personally, I like to like put some Tabasco sauce or some hot sauce in it today

裏側に見えるのは皮だ

We should put hot sauce. I don't know if we should put hot sauce. Do you want a hot sauce on it, Maiko? No
