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.
Jen Polar
def the apple pie! If you don't do it I will somehow get that map, analyze it, learn it by heart and eat every pie on it!! This seems appropriate for 2021.
Glide Guide
nice 2mil subs congrats
michael
I want to try them all. lol I've never been further north than fukushima.
Andrea McCulloch
Paradise... Thanks Chris, another super, informative video. I love anything apple related. I also like venison (deer meat, and no I would not eat a fawn) . I wonder if Aomori does a version of Apfelkorn? It’s a German spirit based on apples. (I am told it gives a killer hangover, but I don’t get hangovers, so I wouldn’t know.) I have some in the fridge. I’ll toast you both with it later.
Ralph Sunico
Do they have Bear Apple Curry in Aomori?
Look Nosee
80+ years??? other part of the world: dude, get past 45 and be grateful.

NO LONGER Scared of bears, just eat them -Chris

Hi Chris,
I don't know if you're aware but japanese bears are actually at a very high risk of extinction due to habitat destruction, hunting and over-poaching. Could you please bring some awareness to this in your next video, as I'm sure no one wants to see these creatures hunted to extinction. Thank you.
Isaac Re'rref
Food looks beary delicious.

It’s so strange hearing Ryotaro speaking Japanese because we’re so used to him speaking the queen’s English. It reminds me of how much it used to blow my mind whenever my Grandad spoke in Polish, his native tongue

I would now kill for a Japanese curry and apple pie

"Ryotaro making a fool of himself, as per the usual" 😂
When you said "apple in the morning, I heard "applemori".
So when I go to Aomori I'm calling it applemori from now on.

Apple Curry looks tasty

I've heard that Kamen Rider is the biggest kids show in Japan. Is this true?
HEADHUNTERS AlphaMiner64
Apple pie and apple cider. My two favorite things waved in my face. I never thought I'd ever watch a Abroad in Japan video I didn't like but after watching this I'm so mad. And hungry. And thirsty...
Lainey Wakeman
i need to see you and ryotaro do a apple pie tour 😆😆

That weird set of 自販機 in Akihabara used to have cans of bear curry, but I thought it was a joke thing or something.
Now I know it was real. I ate bears. And it was... Delicious.

I am so happy to see ryotoro and chris back together, making videos!! Happy 2021 yall!
noremacbeez
Ryotaro is AWESOME...( and deep down you know it Chris)
saltydash lightly
Thank you guys so very much for showing a beautiful prefecture. I much prefer the joking silly fun dining experience over the more reserved style. To each his own but a bit of banter dearly enhances the bear boar.

If you’re down at the beach and see an eel with big teeth, that’s Aomori (a moray) ...ahh, yeah....NO just no.

This makes me a saaaad panda :(

So, how much would a meat course at the hotel cost..
Ate Wanders
so the aomori people are the real life respresentation of "here for a good time not a long time"

i would love to eat a bear and become a bear
Devin du Plessis
Yes, because people eating every moving thing under the sun has worked so well for us all in 2020 and on into 2021.

...woops...

Cider! That's my first choice. I would love for a video of you eating all the apple pies in Aomori. 😁
Avanna
The Taishou Roman Tea Room reminds me of an anime I used to watch. I can only remember a ghost sitting at the far end of the area, and a ghost waitress? And that the cafe is free of charge. There was also a scene where bees came by and played inside the cafe.

Ryotoro just died

I must eat all the dishes! I might die, but I'll die happy!
Shirly Moody
I would love to see you and friends do the complete apple pie tour. You might get sick of apples, but seeing you eat them would be memorable.
stingray gaming
Ya so any way I stole a boat...
JC Marquez
why does that bear meat look exactly like the bear meat from Shokugeki No Soma? lol
secretsquirrel
Just No (a) more-ay?
(Said using a “Neighbours” style Australian accent).
Ay? Ay? No worries, ay mate? Ay!
Tsurin -
I just realised that this is the first time i hear ryotoro speking full japanese sentences
William Clark
Ryotaro prayed for world domination huh? I knew he was a Bond villain all along...
mi mi
I can't eat teddy bear 🐻and almost all Japanese
don't eat
these meats. I have never eaten them.
It looks very strange. I live in Tokyo.
Lobo Draco
I think the more accurate translation would be “Crane Dance Bridge” instead of “dancing crane bridge”
DRajtify
I'd try the bear meat for sure, but that apple pie was picturesque
sighfu9
What rissotoro forgot is that in Bambi's live action film, Bambi is played by The rock https://youtu.be/uFJz2IMUeDE
jimrat92
FINALLY AOMORI!!!! The food there is soooo good. All across the prefecture! I miss it so much. The apples really the best apples i have ever had.
nerdwarp112
I wish I liked apple pie, because this seems like it would be a perfect place to visit for those who enjoy it. Also, this is the first video I’ve seen with Ryotaro in it, and I appreciate his sense of humor.
Ddaeng!! by Karla
While I wouldn’t bear to eat bear, or any weird animal for that matter, I gotta say the meat looks sorta okaish.
Rob Walton
Well done on the 2m Chris. Of all the YouTube ‘rabbit holes’ I’ve fallen down, I’ve not enjoyed discovering a new channel quite as much as yours. Keep it up mate
RobotInMySpace
Congratulations on 2 million subscribers Chris! If anyone deserves it, it's you.
Cheers from Norway! :)
F. Rick Herr
They eat bears because it's fukin delicious!
sexy daddy
wow bear and deer meat taste great.
next: let's eat some bat and pangolin, and don't forget civet cat they carry SARS.
michael hart
Hmm.. some of it looks and smells good, even from here.
Excess of bears, and a sufficiency of hunters who want to resolve the problem, seems like a simple solution approaching a problem reality that seems to be hard to find in the West these days.
One thing missing though: Surely a cooked bear's head with an apple in it's mouth should be on the menu somewhere? A roast pig with an apple in it's jaws is a traditional expression of a banqueting feast in older books & Hollywood movies.
FugazStar
I'm not a fan of apple pies, but god that apple pie looks freaking delicious :o
Kean Kennedy
the translucency of the apples!
BNRK21
deer is actually pretty famous and considered a delicacy... it's not weird like eating bear
Laura Cunningham
#askabroad would you be interested in doing a video on renting a car in Japan?
Thandura
15:52 it did
lee white
I've eaten wild boar and deer already. And as I'll try anything once I'd eat bear.
It's not been hunted for sport, but for food and to reduce danger to locals.
But only once, I could never look winnie the pooh in the face again lol
Brian Hall
Did he leave his card in that cider vending machine at the beginning?
Salvador Lopez
Watching this in 4K is amazing! Apple kingdom haha

For the first time ever, Rissotorro doesn’t have an answer! (where the deer came from)

Love it when ryotaro joining chris.
Optimism x sarcasm.
MyVanir
There is no optimism in that combination.

I eat bears too and I don't live in Japan. American black bear is the best.

ohayo chris, i love your videos and have been watching for quite some time! keep up the good work!

As far as I know Aoi can also mean green in some instances.
