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!)

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.
Like rdr
I NEED TO KNOW.... WHAT RACE ARE YOU?!?!?!??!
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,
Rappers not really aimed at you Chris.
Dont know if you know but you left your card in the cider machine.👍
I used to live in Misawa Aomori. I hope you get to visit there soon! It would be so cool to see what it looks like now vs 2000!
*Breaking News* : Aomori Life expectancy goes down again as Japanese Man got stabbed in the head by a fork by a Hungry British Bear
Heres hoping on a crossover with Karl Pilkingtin's "an idiot abroad" ahah
Damn that appuru pai looks amazing
I think I want to try that bear but the apple pie looks heavenly!
I would like to try all the above and an apple pie tour too...LOL
damn brother you are brave, I don't know if I could do raw deer meat.
Honestly I make my grandmas apple pie recipe so I'm super curious how that pie tastes in comparison
Ryotaro is to Chris what Toby is to Michael Scott in the Office
Hey, your videos are always unique and informative. Thankyou for sharing videos. ❤️ I hope everyone Thinks the same like me
What’s up Broski 🦋
Don't know why but....He's my crush now.
I was thinking the other day and surely will come a day when you run out of places to visit in Japan. Abroad in North Korea next?
Chris never runs out of ideas
Does Chris even like Ryotoro? Like constantly complaining about him lol
12:48 ここのやりとりなんだよ笑
Risottoro rap album in 2021 confirmed!!
Apple pie
Sapporo. The absolute best beer of all time.
u just keep adding reasons to my list of why I wanna move to Japan
What was the name of the cooking vessels in the room and the ones used to cook the deer bear boar? Thang you
I really love Japanese culture that's why I really enjoy watching your content. Please continue sharing your life in Japan. Hoping to see more videos.
Ryotaro looks more Maori than Japanese to me. No, not the skin, but also the face
absolutely love the show! is it true that the japanese are obsessed with blood group/typing and personality traits linked to that? also .. do you know your own blood group? not sure.if you've answered this already as I'm a new subscriber! #askabroad
7:47 Top ten rappers Eminem was too afraid to diss. Still waiting on Ryotaro's latest album.
Hey Chris. Just 100% Ghost of Tsushima. Have you ever been or wanted to go to Tsushima?
This apple pie didn't look that great. Seemed like they tried to make one of those showy copycat cakes, that may look like a regular american apple pie, but you could just make out the gelatine to hold it all in place, which is wrong...
slice pan and mop up curry
Hey Chris A travel Company in Switzerland just had a lecture about japan and he mentioned you. Love seeing you spread out.
Just found your channel. Question- how do you travel to Japan right now due to travel ban? I see youtubers going for these videos, but how? I cant go to Japan right now can I?
Stop being fat please
Hanafuda flavoured dinner.
That curry looks good. I want that.
You've run out of ideas. Eating bears? Trash Taste! J/K love your channel.
that all looks so delicious, I hunt deer with my dad in winter and the precision of the cut of the venison(or deer meat) is amazing, and I have always wanted to try bear meat!
As great as everything looked, I think hanging with Ryotaro looked the most fun.
shocked kumamon face intensifies*
Apple curry. I want to try that apple curry. Then the bear.
I need to go to Aomori, and I need to do the life's too short tour! Where it the link to that damn tour man?!?!?!
That last cafe is straight out of an anime damn. Really enjoyed the video!
Hi Chris, a new subscriber of yours. Been to Japan and loved it. The more I watch you the more I’m wanting to go back. Where is Sharla now by the way, thanks.
Bear
-is every japanese person a friend of Ryotaro?
Another great video. Just discovered your series, Chris, and finished a binge of the entire 2020 season. As an aside, I dig the Khruangbin background music.
Well after a month and half of binge watching every video I have arrived at the latest! I am now struck with that hollow feeling inside as if I've just watched an jaw dropping Anime and it's now finished. Watching this channel go from British bloke in a flat in Japan with one camera to all of this awesome mind blowing top quality content has been a sheer joy! I have loved every minute of it and I can't wait to see what Chris has planned for us next! Bring on Journey Across Japan 3! Thanks Chris and the team you guys are like a magic!!! Oh and thumbs up if you want to see Chris take the life expectancy food tour! Hmm what to do now...? I know! Time to go and watch Abroad Perspective!
I mean I GUESS every animal is Technically Edible......
I see you answer questions sometimes. Do you have scar tissue in the right side of your mouth, (or possibly left if the image is mirrored)
Aomori has the lowest life expectancy because Shinigami love apples.
Great to see Ryotaro again, hope you enjoyed the cider
Come on Mr. BROAD give us a new video 📹 👀 🍻
that reconstruction of seeing a bear sign is award-worthy.
bears? food wars!
熊を食べるなと非難している方々へ 近年日本に生息する熊の個体数は増えています。狩猟され料理として出されている熊は農場に侵入したり、市街地に侵入して駆除命令が出た熊です。 Don't blame him for eating bears.
Your videos are pure art, dude. Well done. Dat walk @ 4:17
AAAAPPPPPPPPLLLLEEEE PIIIIIIIIEEEEESSSS!!!! 🍎 🍏 🥧
Your videos have helped me get my dream job, nothing to do with Japan but the happiness you give me has made it possible
Traveling with Ryotaro must be unbearable
#SaveAsianBoss Please help them out. They're on the verge of shutting down. P.S. I know this is unrelated to the video but its really important. They would really appreciate it if you took the time to donate to their cause.
My god, I want damn well any of the things you guys ate in the video! I'm in the middle of a fast but just got internet again after a few weeks, so despite the torture I'm catching up on everything I've missed haha.
Liked the video as soon as Ryotaro said he'd fight Bambi
What’s you take on the anime culture in Japan, and what do you think of that yourself. Also i’ve seen it basically everywhere including advertisements, why’s that?
If I went on a school trip from the UK to Japan what would you recommend us 21 classmates to Do?
Nice
WHAT RACE ARE YOU!??!?!!??!?!
Yuo forgot the card in the cider vending machine?
Congrats on 2 mil!
That apple pie has so little sugary filling and it looks amazing. I want to make it!
As a Russian I do not know how to react
You might say the bear meat was a bit grizzly..
I’m going to Japan in about a year and a half if all goes to plan!! Your AMworlds channel will be my guide
Journey Across Aomori: The Crusade for Apple Pie
How are you all holding up in WFH mode? Me ? It ended me up doing a review (#OutsideTheWireNetflix ) on this movie. :S but seriously though. WFH is throwing me out of whack. Haha.
Apple pie or curry. they both look so good
i want to try bear now.
where the hell is the new video >:(
Who is behind the camera?
look at those cute smol apples
What does it cost to move to Japan?
I used to watch this channel a few years ago, then I stopped and for some reason youtube recommended me this video today. I was shocked to see this guy again because he looks like he's aged a lot in a small period of time. What happened to him? Not hating on him just curious.
15:47 "and it opens... 'ike 'at!" - Ryotaro's Britishisms continue to astound me
i need more friends like Ryotaro

"Deer Bear Boar" but, does it play out well in Japanese words as a rap?
Da Bears!
Awesome awesome awesome! These videos you do are so good and so much fun to watch. Thanks man!
Having binged all of this channels videos over the last few days, I now feel empty and I don't really know what to do now. I forgot how to be productive. Also with every video I wanna return to Japan even more than I already did. I lived there as part of an exchange program for six months and apparently missed out on so many things... Go away covid, I want to travel again!
There are so many undertones of negativity with this man 🙄
5:06 marks the point where the timelines diverge from our current reality and the one in which this video is uploaded to PornHub
Chris, why don't you have a Patreon?
Bear!!! i wanna taste the Bears and the apples. Thanks for this Videos .. ist like a little vacation in Japan :)
You should do a video on gunpla
amworlds.info/town/qafLeI7Rpp2dx6o/video.html
When are you going to do a video on the kofun tombs?
I just noticed a bunch of similarities between Aomori and where I'm from, Austria in Europe. We have a famous apple pie (Apfelstrudel), we have a lot of different kinds of alcohol (especially wine), there is all kinds of meat (including deer - no bears though), traditional food is often quite salty. And our life expectancy is 81 years. You might like it here! ;)
Loosing just 2 years of life expectancy to be able to eat ramen and pies whenever you want? Seams like a good deal to me.
is Stewart Lee your dad?
