Midnight Cheat Day — ¥356 Gyoza & Giant Miso Ramen 🍜

☕ Buy me a coffee (one-time) → https://buymeacoffee.com/hachisuke A ¥356 (~$2.40) dinner: my first time ever frying frozen gyoza, plus a giant "Gotsumori" corn miso ramen. My AI buddy keeps me company. The gyoza came with no dipping sauce, the induction stove was too weak, and the math says 35 kcal × 12 dumplings. Somehow it all worked out. While I eat, my AI buddy and I talk about favorite drinks, three weeks without caffeine, and why teishoku diners always win. ⏱ CHAPTERS 0:00 Tonight's haul — ¥356 total 0:19 "Gotsumori" corn miso ramen (¥128) 1:01 Hane-tsuki gyoza (¥228) 2:06 Reading the instructions carefully 3:13 Arranging frozen gyoza — that's it? 5:02 "This looks so unhealthy" 7:46 Are they even cooked? 8:01 Itadakimasu 9:16 No dipping sauce → soy sauce it is 9:52 Talking drinks with my AI buddy 11:45 Favorite foods & teishoku talk 14:30 Gyoza math: 35 kcal × 12 16:18 The last one 📝 FOR JAPANESE LEARNERS In the Japanese subtitles, I added hiragana readings in ( ) after each kanji.

Just a tired salaryman and his food. #japanesefood #mukbang #eatingshow #salaryman #japan
