From reading Toshi's blog one can see that he loves his food - why, most of the entries look like a leaf torn out of a gourment magazine. :D
Anyway, there is a proof that Toshi has always liked food - here he spends a good time with Tamori discussing his favourite type of pan (well, bread - but Japanese bread is not really what I would call "bread" - more like a kind of pastry which can has many flavours).

I really love how serious he can get over a curry bread! (06:49~)


Pony rocks!

:lol:  Yup, I've seen this one  :lol:  the discussion is pretty serious  :lol:

Only yesterday I wrote to Dana, how good Toshi looks ^^ and when he is standing next to Pata and Heath x.x those two skeletons... He should take them with him and feed them up a bit!

The blog entry of today was in the similar spirit... Toshi is going to feed Yoshiki the milk of Hokkaido cows to cure him  :lol:  oh dear, but go for it Toshi!  :lol:

Yeah, I've just read it. He's too cute. (Nice gif, eh? :D)

Anyway, I really like his fondness for food, even though his tires suffer. :D

I also love to eat but I'm still quite skinny  :(  People are even making fun of me that I'm still eating or saying that I'm hungry  :lol:

:D

I hope Toshi's not too stressed over his weight. I don't think he's anywhere near fat, but the management might be pushing him to keep slim and from his writing it seems that he too is sometimes slightly worried about his weight, even if he talks about it in a humorous way.
His Japanese fan are often supportive,  though, so I'm not too worried. :)

Pony rocks!

I love that video! XD Though I would never eat ikapan. DX I am not a fan of squid.

I love his blog entries! The ones about food are always cute!

And he should be confident about his weight - the fans around the world like him the way he is!

I think Toshi would be a better illusionist than a chef.

T: "And now, I'll let all the food in your refrigerator magically disappear!"

OOOh, is that simply as that  :D
Thanks for the link!

Yep, that's all you have to do! lol
Your welcome.

From what I can understand they are talking about "pan".
ToshI loves it and he's talking about the types he likes.....Ika Pan and Kuri Pan.
Also, they talk about different spreads too (I think....)

I translated the part of "pan" talk that starts around 4:52 of the video.
My translation is not so good, but I hope it will help you to understand what they are talking about ;)

T = Toshi
M = Tamori (Morita Kazuyoshi), the host of the TV show

M: You went to buy pans yesterday, and.....
T: I like pans, though I like rice as well.
M: You like pans.
T: I like pans.
M: How many pans did buy yesterday?
T: Yesterday, I bought more than ten. More than ten kinds.
    I like to eat bits from each of different kinds of pans.
M: But you cannot eat them all, can you?
T: No, I can't.
M: So, you leave the rest?
T: I put the leftovers into the refrigerater, but they usually spoil.
    I cannot throw them away because it's a pity.
M: What kind of pans did you buy yesterday?
T: Yesterday, ...there have been variously-named pans recently, you know, so I cannot remember exactly.....a croquette sand (= sandwich), a ham&egg sand.....and an ika (= squid) pan?
M: Ika pan?
T: Ika pan.
   There have been a variety of pans recently.
M: Is ika in a pan?
T: Ika dressed with mayonnaise is on the pan.
M: Is ika???
T: At first, I felt a feeling of strangeness.
M: Isn't ika sandwiched in a long bread roll?
T: It's on the top of the pan.
M: What kind of pan is the base?
T: It's a common pan, like French bread.
M: Does ika pan taste good?
T: It's tasty.
    At first, it smelled of ocean, so I thought ika didn't match with pan.
    But as I kept eating it, I started feeling it was good.
M: Was it the first time (you've eaten an ika pan)?
T: First time.
    Something new or something with interesting name, ......
M: Is it named "Ika pan"?
T: Well....I wonder if it's called "Ika pan".....
M: It's not such a cool name.
T: I forgot the name, anyway, I always try new ones.
M: What kind of pans have there been recently? I hardly ever go to bakeries.....
T: Recently, ika pan and .....mmm.....what was that.....
    I found an awesome one yesterday....."Indian curry pan"!?
M: Indian.....
T: Doesn't it sound that awesome?
M: It doesn't sound that differently (from normal curry pan).....
T: But normal (non-Indian) curry pan is common, isn't it?
M: What's the difference?
T: Indian curry pan was a little bit hotter.
M: That's all?
T: Yeah, it's not that awesome, sorry...
M: Long ago, there was "Hawaiian hamburger steak".
    I wondered what it was, so I took the courage to order it, but it was just a hamburger steak with a piece of pineapple!
T: Yeah, it is.
M: I thought I'd dash it! Its price was 80 yen higher.
    Speaking of which, recently, there have been a variety of onigiris (= rice balls) as well.
T: There are onigiri shops.
M: Specialty shops?
T: Yeah. There are onigiri shops in department stores, aren't there? (asking the audience)
    I sometimes go there to buy onigiris.
M: There are a variety of onigiris lately.
T: There are a variety (of onigiris).
M: I hardly ever go to bakeries. Do you have any other recommendation?
T: Recommendation? Well, nothing special.
    I often go to bakeries and onigiri shops, but I hardly ever go to other kinds of food shops.
M: Do you go to bakeries also when you go to the provinces?
T: I don't go to bakeries in the provinces.
M: When you find a bakery while walking down a street, do you drop by there?
T: I like the smell of pan....the smell of baking pan.
    When I'm walking by a bakery, secent of freshly baked pans is wafting out of there, you know?
M: Then, you drop in there.
T: Yeah, I drop in....
M: Tsurube (a Japanese rakugo performer) likes so much.
T: Pans?
M: Yeah. He says he cannot resist when he is at a bakery.
    He says he feels like every pan says "Buy me! Buy me!".
    I think this (bread tray at bakery) is bakery's trap because you can't help but taking at least two more pans (than you really need), can you?
T: I can't. I always buy (more than I need) and almost always leave (some of them).
M: True.
T: But, they look delicious....
M: I want to eat a curry pan.
    Which pan do you like the most?
T: What I like the most is....curry pan...or...croquette pan..... I like croquette pan the most. Croquette sand!
M: Croquette sand?
T: And katsu sand. (katsu = cutlet = deep-fried breaded pork)
M: Katsu sand is good.
T: And ham-katsu sand.
M: Ham-katsu is so goooood!!
    I tried many kinds of ham-katsu the other day, but the cheep square ham was the best.
T: Absolutely.
M: Expensive ones are not good.
T: Definitely not good.
M: It has to be the cheep one.
T: The basic one, like the one that I ate at school lunch.
M: It has to be that one.
    Ham-katsu is delicious....
    I don't think yakisoba pan tastes good. (yakisoba = fried noodles)
T: Really?
M: It looks delicious, but it's like carbohydrate with carbohydrate.....
    It makes your mouth dry, doesn' it? I feel it saoks up all the moisture in my mouth.
T: Really?
M: Do you like it?
T: Well, there are ones that taste good and ones that don't taste good.
    The quality of pan is more important than that of yakisoba.
    When the tenderness of pan matches with that of yakisoba, ....
M: Does it depend on the pan?
T: It depends on the pan. Yakisoba doesn't really matter.
M: It doesn't matter whether yakisoba has a strong taste or not, right?
T: It doesn't matter. Because, benishouga (pickled ginger) blurs your taste.

Thank you very much Max! Very sweet of you for translating for us.
It is comic for me that talk of pans  :D
I suppose that is typical for men for having such a discussion about food :D
Your English is very good, much better than mine is!
Is pan the same thing as bread or sandwiches?

It’s my pleasure, Ann.
It’s so funny that they’re talking passionately about pans :D

“Pan” is a generic term that includes bread, pastry, bun, sandwich and others.
In Japan, bakery is called “pan-ya” (pan shop), and they sell all these kinds of pans.
You can see curry pan and katsu sand in the below webpage.
The third one is curry pan, and the fourth one is katsu sand.
http://www.pompadour.co.jp/products/deli.html

This is yakisoba pan.

Thank Max for translating. This is indeed a hilarious conversation about pan.

Is the brownish ingredient in yakisoba pan the same as soba noodles?

You're welcome, tank :)
Yakisoba noodles are made from wheat, whereas soba noodles are made from buckwheat.
They are cooked in different ways and have different tastes.
BTW, the reddish pieces on the yakisoba noodles in the photo are "benishouga" that Toshi mentioned at the end of the conversation.

Ann1958,
I've translated a Toshi's mixi blog and will post it as a new thread ;)
