#Olympics #Japan #Culture
As someone that is half Japanese I’m so jealous that you get to experience the beautiful Japan 🇯🇵 and their culture.
yummm that food looks so delicious
Beautiful experience! Thank you for sharing. xo
Jesus loves you and wants to begin a relationship with you irrespective of your past and irrespective of what you are going through. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Inorder for you to enter into a relationship with him all you need is say this prayer sincerely with me. O Lord have mercy upon me where i have sinned against you in my thoughts and deeds. Please wash me in your precious blood. Please come into my heart and write me my name in the book of life. Start reading the Bible. Ask the holyspirit to lead you to where you can continually be filled with the word inorder to enable you to grow. Just as a baby needs milk to grow so do you need the word of God inorder to grow..
Japanese food is by far my favorite 😋 food on Earth!
OMG! Manners, people!! Manners!!!
Looks sooooooo good
They cant keep quiet
History is a lie.
I must go there it looks very delicious and very cultural in its own right…. you guys look like you guys had a billboard time😃🤗😉🤩
If it was an actual Japanese Restaurant, they'd be seated on the floor on pillows and
the table would be a lot lower.
So 😎
2:41 ur in Japan maam its not a cumpie its bukkake
so happy for them ❤️❤️
It's all about how you treat others.
Fkn cringe
best team in news
I'm so confused !
Shouldn't the Today anchors learn a little "Japanese etiquette" before they come to Japan ?!?
Like simple words like "Oishi" or "Itadakimase" when they know they are going to eat, and how to eat Japanese famous food like Soba noodles, and not to be loud in public and stuff ?!?
It's because when I applied to study abroad in Japan back in 2014, I had to go through 3 different interviews, because the U.S. wanted to make sure they didn't send some crazy student to Japan to mess up their school's reputation. I was representing the U.S as an exchanged student, just like the anchors representing the U.S as news anchors.
Can someone on one of these shows, say the food doesn't taste good? Every show everything tastes great.
The weebs are visibly frustrated
That was not a traditional everyday kind of Japanese meal.
The concept of kaiseki was traditional, but it's reserved for special occasions, and the actual menu served here was more Michelin starred restaurant that what the average Japanese eat at lunch or dinner.
Show your viewers less glitter, and a little more reality.
The breakfast you were served was fish, rice, miso soup, pickled vege and tea, but I'll bet you all had coffee and a pastry provided especially for western tastes.
TODAY show is horrible
food looks good
So GREAT !!!
may be they can teach TODAY show to be better journalists
You guys so silly 👍👍👍
Omg I am appalled!!
The way you guys ate soba was sooo rude!!!
Also why are you guys eating outside of Olympic zone??? Please stay inside to contain covid spread.
must be nice while people are locked at home

Wrong! If it were actually traditional, you would not have been wearing shoes, would not have been sitting in chairs, and would've offered up the traditional prayer in thanks to Budha for the gracious meal. You are fake people. You are Geishen in the truest sense.
Who cares about these fake news actors eating
Happy to see that the restaurant staff were wearing traditional face masks
This shows a level of disrespect that can only be describe in one word “American”
Wow good eatin.
Love the Japanese culture.
I miss my food 😭
Too cool.
I loved this segment because I loved that you celebrated Japanese food and culture! But maybe eat foods that are a little easier for Americans to access back in the US? Like ramen, full tempura, japanese curry, wagyu beef, gyoza, chicken karaage, yakisoba… Maybe even do a whole segment about how 7-Eleven is completely different in Japan in comparison to 7-Eleven in the US. The more that you can do to build the bridge between the US and Japan, I think it would be beneficial for those who are new to japanese food/culture. Like I've had Natto in Japan, but will an average American go out of their way to try that? Probably not.
Welcome to Tokyo, Savannah, Hoda, Craig, and Al!
I watch TODAY everyday from Tokyo. I can't believe the whole TODAY gang is in Tokyo!
I'm so glad you guys are enjoying the city. Hope I can show you around more despite the pandemic.
Oh, Hoda, that's not the way you eat soba…
Learn manners first. Do not talk so loud. Why are you allowed out side of the IOC. I would be embarrassed as an American to hear you speaking so loud.
Al is awesome
“That’s too pretty to eat”
Yeah all food here yeah…. I just felt that…. I always feel like that here lol
1:27 Simpuru… LOL
When you eat soba, you have to hold the cup and bring it close to the mouth to slurp the noodles up. Not leave it on the table! Rude!
Love Japanese culture ♥
Healthy and delicious and fresh
Typical loud westerners LOL .. so uncivilized and kinda rough
Welcome to Tokyo! 💕
I'm so JEALOUS of the Tea Ceremony!
I would have loved being a part of this group.
Wow!!! So cool.
So envious!!
Omg foods looks so delicious!!
Glad to see the Today Show Hosts BONDING. I LIKE. I LIKE A LOT💕💕
おそばはお椀持って食べてー!
(高評価押したけど)
女性の方の蕎麦の食べ方がウケた
Are you sure the Today show ratings are dropping? This is Pulitzer like material. Maybe poll again?
come on Hoda, you don't crane your neck back like a bird in feeding..
I don't know table manners in American fine dining, but for the first time I've learned that eating face up is a very beautiful way to eat.
I would like to do it at a high-class restaurant in the United States, referring to your prominent actions.
If Asians eat at a fine American restaurant without following table manners, they will be kicked out, right?
Japanese food also has strict etiquette, and you must be grateful that you weren't kicked out even if you didn't know the etiquette.
Traditional while sitting at a table with their shoes on. Very traditional
I cant get full with so little. I need to have double course.
They seem to be bad at the last tea. They left a lot. lol
It makes their mouth so refresh.
I don’t think American do understand the complex taste Japanese foods have to offer lol. They are about burgers and fries
Please tell me how to eat soba.
The correct etiquette is to lift the soup bowl and soak the soba noodles.
Someone should have told them that they should hold that cup/bowl of dipping sauce in their non-chopstick-holding hands (obviously), bring it closer to the soba noodles when they pick them up and dip in the sauce, and the to their mouths and eat the soba. Other than that, I don't really have problems seeing them enjoying the traditional Japanese meal.
Lmao I love how in America we spell it ‘tempura’ and in it’s tenpura てんぶら
Awesome experience
It's so awesome recipes.
Tempora lol Americans so funny 😆
you are so highly and expensive budget so far LOL
(I can’t afford this in the lunch time)
this is calling for “the primer and powerful lunch”
Al knows how to act. Not to loud in Japanese formal Japanese restaurant
