Unboxing a $1000 Japanese Bento Box for New Year's in Japan called Osechi Ryori. Maiko and I celebrate the Japanese New Year with this traditional Japanese food all be it an expensive $1000 dollar bento box. Osechi ryrori is a traditional Japanese food for the New Year and comes in a bento-like box called jubako. The Japan bento box like osechi comes in 3 levels of boxes stacked on top of each other. This is the most expensive bento box I have ever eaten. In fact, I think it is the most expensive Japanese food I have ever eaten in my life. To give you a little Japanese history, Osechi was used to celebrate and mark the transition between 5 different seasons and New Year's in Japan. Each time giving thanks to the Gods for bountiful crops.
But eventually, Oshechi was only served during New Year's as it represented the largest transition of all of the seasons in Japan. Also fire and knives were taboo during during the new years so Osechi was prepared in advance and set out during the first 3 days of New Year. Hence the reason Osechi is served cold. These days in Japan, Osechi is set out for the New Years so that families don't have a took during the New Year's in Japan and allows for guests to come and visit, drink and eat. Let me know what you think in the comments about this $1000 Bento Box.

    Maiko: tiny elegant dainty bites Paolo: I MUST DEVOUR THIS THING WHOLE!
  • @lightawake
    Wasn't getting bored at ALL - wish you had gone through every single item as it's a $1000 osechi!!
  • @popupuli
    at $1000 I would expect a wagyu piece on that damn bento 😂
  • @Ethan-pd7nu
    As someone who donates monthly I'm actually really happy to see the money go to good use :D
  • @etherdog
    Poalo and Maiko, each of those morsels were like a unique little present. It is very interesting to see not only what people eat, but how they eat it. I've really enjoyed watching ALL of your videos and hope the strain of a new channel doesn't make creating them a chore for you, as your quality is terrific! Thank you!
  • @miguell4835
    The couple of the year for 2019 goes to these two.
  • I love when Maiko speaks Japanese. Shows me how badly I mispronounce things.
  • @sh09un1
    When you first revealed the layers, I can understand why a lot of people were saying this isn't worth $1000. But as you started trying everything, you can see how it would be worth that much. Having to source all those high quality materials and prepping them and coming up with so many different items, easily worth a $1000.
  • @papabeanguy
    5-6 people? Myself and one friend could eat that whole thing.
  • When I started watching their videos, I liked how trivial, informative and clear Paolo is . But I really love how cheerful and charm Maiko is, like I love her every expression. That why I’m always anticipating for their video entry on their Tokyo Zebra chan plus now they have baby Wolfy. ❤️❤️ We came so far with these two.

    Paolo: "do you know what's my favourite?" Maiko; "no" Paolo: surprised pikachu face
  • @elijahx7159
    Paolo: You don't know a mullet Maiko:I know bullets LMAOOO
  • @yaminigajra3663
    I love it how Maiko tells us about traditions and customs :") it's good to know. Thankyou
  • @TayTriesThings
    Paolo i've been watching you ideos for quite a long time now. I actually went to Japan 2 years ago and visited some amazing spots because of your suggestions/tips! I never take the time to leave a comment, but I wanted to let you know this channel is awesome. You have a positive attitude and I enjoy your videos, and to be honest you've motivated me to get off my ass and make some of my own. Keep up the good work man!
  • Maiko's face when you said mullet was priceless...instantly thought of eastbound and down...lol
  • @GenIsCool1024
    Paolo looked so sad when Maiko didn't know his favorite 😂😂😂
