In Japan's northern region of Aomori, the locals regularly eat bear meat. But why's it popular and how does it taste? We travel across Aomori to try 5 dishes and uncover why it has the shortest life expectancy of any prefecture in Japan. (And no it's got nothing to do with the bears!)

Why This Japanese Town Eats BEARS

Abroad in Japan
NOTIFICATION SQUAD: On our 200km journey around Aomori we ate our way through five local dishes. WHICH ONE do you want to try the most?
Also, don't miss Ryotaro's absurd rap. He truly outdid himself this time. Jokes aside, it's good to be back on the road together. I always enjoy these little excursions and I hope you guys enjoy coming along the ride! (ESPECIALLY now Abroad in Japan is in 4k). Right, I'm off for a liquor breakfast.

Ay man we're waiting, when's your video coming?

Bear? HARD PASS . Not sure about this...I wonder how humane the kill was. Japan shoots bears....China bans them ;)

I really want to go to Japan and become a teacher there but I don't know how, I am young and have a few years left in school but what road would I have to take to have the required skills,

Eating bears is such a cliche in anime that I assumed Japanese people just eat bear all the time.
Mikias Leulseged
I have never had apple pie in my life and would love to have one.

I think the title of the video should’ve been, “I Ate Bambi’s Dead Mom Raw.”
welcome to the rice fields
two years less for eating tasty things.... totally worth it

Seriously food in Japan looks so unappealing, except curry:-)

The apple pie map is the equivalent of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail in the US. 🤣
Cheers from abroad! 🥃

It's been about a week since I discovered this channel, and since then I've binge watched pretty much all the content since about mid 2016... Its been thoroughly enjoyable living through your adventures in a country I'd love to visit again - particularly in the middle of a British lockdown! Thanks for continuing to provide really interesting and engaging content, I look forward to keeping up to date. Also, as if I wasn't already hooked on Japan, an apple pie map would have sold me!

I need a Natsuki rap right now

"I ate Bambi raw"
I have a gutter mind so that didn't paint the prettiest image in my mind.

Great! I always wanted to travel to Japan, and (partly thanks to your excellent videos), I have finally booked my summer holidays in Japan. I'm watching all your videos to prepare for my trip. So I'll be painfully disapointed when I'll have to cancel due to COVID. ;-)

Apple Pie Maps. Still better than Apple Maps.

Hi , just a suggestion but could you do a video about Muslim friendly restaurants in Japan for people who are Muslims that want to also experience Japanese food ?
piziskewl
Ryotaro sold me on the deer.
Razmi Ihsan
Ryotaro makes the video more entertaining. Like adding seasoning to meats that about to be cooked.

There's only one thing worse than bears, and that's ROBOTS
_and guess what there's a lot of in Japan...._

I love these videos so much! The humour, beautiful shots, interesting locations, and respect for the culture are all perfect. I hope to see you continue making these for many years to come.

The only food from Japan I wouldn't eat was horse. I can eat almost any type of food but I grew up raising horses so it would just feel weird for myself if I ate something that I saw as a friend growing up.

Fun fact : even though Aomori people has the lowest average life expectancy in Japan, they're still way higher than the other countries have.
According to the government's most recent statistics, the average life expectancy for men in the prefecture is 78.67 years, and 85.93 for women
Hans TheGamer
I guess Aomori is the promise land of Exusia

I like how chris is actually respectful of the country whereas connor cdawgva not so much !

Are you at the town that has the dolphin statue ? I found that on google earth ages ago. There was also this photo taken from some sort of tower / lighthouse / mountain around there which had awesome view ( some sort of tourist spot ). Also found this video on youtube years ago of this seaside village that was really cool but its one of those things where I will never find it again, very quiet village that had a lot of old wooden objects / old stuff.

Bears are super avoidable, you just have to make yourself known, for example my grandma always talks to herself loudly to avoid meeting one and she lives in a place where they sometimes leave the forest and walk around her lawn.
