Comedian Lee Sang-jun headed to Japan's Kobe Arima Onsen for a mukbang. This took place in the third episode of Studio Double's content 'Lee Sang-jun's Far-Flung Restaurants.' Lee chose Arima Onsen, considered one of Japan's three great hot springs, as his first destination, documenting a journey to find local representative snacks and restaurants.

Witty remarks amid flight and bus delays

The day's schedule was delayed due to a delayed flight and a delayed bus, and Lee was flustered by the heat reminiscent of a local sauna. On the bus, he communicated with foreign tourists and gave an autograph to a local fan. When someone introduced him as a "famous Korean comedian," he livened up the mood with a witty reply: "Look at my face. You can tell at a glance I'm a comedian." While soaking his feet at the Kin-no-yu hot spring, he showed composure despite the tight schedule, saying, "Even with a time limit, I'll show you that I can enjoy everything and still make it."

Mukbang journey continues after overcoming filming refusal

Lee tasted a beef croquette after nine hours and expressed satisfaction, saying, "It's fun to eat." At the first restaurant, an unexpected situation arose when filming was refused, but he quickly moved on to the next restaurant, saying, "I've gotten lots of recommendations, so I'll fill up on other things." He then enjoyed akashiyaki and a chirimen-jako rice set, introducing his unique 'mukbang routine' of food paired with draft beer during Japan trips. Regarding filming, he jokingly added, "Right now, if they say we can't film, we can't, but once our channel gets bigger, I won't film even if they ask."

Wrapping up with a dessert mukbang... "Senbei tastes like plastic"

After the meal, he sampled various snacks on the Arima Onsen street, including Arima cider, traditional senbei, saka-manju, sweet potato chips, and five-second senbei, for a dessert mukbang. He described Arima cider as "original sparkling water, but cider," and drew laughs by describing the texture of senbei as "like plastic."

Meanwhile, the fourth episode of 'Lee Sang-jun's Far-Flung Restaurants' is set to be released at 5 p.m. on YouTube.
