During a livestream on the paid platform “DOWNTOWN+,” Matsumoto Hitoshi visited the staff cafeteria at Yoshimoto Kogyo’s Tokyo headquarters and went back for a second helping of the famous “Yoshimoto Curry,” raving about it. On 5ch, reactions to the food report itself mixed with judgments about Matsumoto’s past conduct and public image, stirring up a lively mix of praise and criticism.

“Dow-Plunch!!,” a segment on “DOWNTOWN+,” the paid platform that streams Downtown’s content, broadcast live on the 24th from “Munch Lunch,” the staff cafeteria at Yoshimoto Kogyo’s Tokyo headquarters.
This time they sampled the signature “Yoshimoto Curry,” which had already become a talking point on the show. Matsumoto, stopping by the cafeteria, ordered the “fried stuffed green pepper.” At the self-service counter he also picked up miso soup and pickles, plus — the real target of the visit — a separate plate of curry.

That was fast lol
Beat me to it lol
Donbei and Green Tanuki are both delicious though. (both instant noodle brands)
Guess he'll never live this down now.
Well, he's always played up being poor anyway.
Hurry back already
Not trying to troll here, but I genuinely
don't get what's funny about that guy.
He's kind of scary, like a yakuza or something.
For the record though, I love Suchiko
Probably bad for his gut too.
And now he's literally doing that exact thing himself, so it's not funny.
Pathetic, Matsu-chan.
Wish he'd be this active on network TV again, like back in his "Wide Na Show" heyday.
No way that's true lol, how long are you gonna
keep buying that Nakanishi guy's delusional claims?
He's already been branded a sexual predator and dragged through the mud more than enough as it is.
Not a segment where people try to crack Matsumoto up —
a segment where Matsumoto cracks US up.
Matsumoto's comedy well ran dry 30 years ago lol
They pop it up at events sometimes — I saw a stall at a department store recently.
But regular people can't actually eat there, right?
Even shown off like this, all I can say is "huh, neat."
Just livestream yourself eating Donbei already, Matsumoto
It's basically a living funeral Yoshimoto Kogyo threw for its meritorious contributor Matsumoto Hitoshi.
Matsumoto: "Who told you to take it seriously?!"
Even the paying die-hard fans ("Matsu-shin") who tune in are trashing him over this.
Thoroughly lame.
Just go eat some Donbei and call it a day.
Matsumoto's basically an underground talent, a home-shopping talent, and a food-review talent now.
