hello everyone and welcome to the channel if you happen to be new around here my name is
Trevor and this is Anna we are the delightful travelers make sure to hit the Subscribe button
and click the like button to follow along on our adventures here in Japan if you have been watching
you would know that we are already in Osaka is where we're starting off our Japan series last
it's pouring around today as promised we're going to be eating some food we are starting things
off at the kuromon ichiba market it is known as Osaka's kitchen so I think it's probably a great
place to try some Japanese food here today it is very very famous for its seafood and if you guys
watch this regularly you know me I in particular I'm not a big Seafood person I can't really eat
it Trevor might try to have a little bit today we'll probably be trying hopefully some sushi so
that we'll we'll get some fish in there but I do have a big list of things we want to try so this
Market is really big there's tons of people here but what's nice is it's kind of spread out right
now like if you look this way there's not a lot of people so that's pretty cool yeah it's a Saturday
I don't know if that makes it busier or less busy in here but you guys can maybe let us know in the
comments right now it doesn't seem too bad so hopefully it stays that way yeah not bad at all
now we did mention we don't eat a lot of seafood but currently like right now we're looking for
something in the shape of a fish we found it so this might be in the shape of a fish but pretty
sure it's not going to taste like a fish this is called taiyaki and it's basically a fish
shaped cake and then it's filled with red bean paste first off this smells really really good
it smells like a North American pancake like that kind of smell to it really nice foreign [Music]
so I'm gonna be honest here I'm not quite sure how I feel about this the cake itself is really
really nice and sweet and it does kind of have that like that traditional pancake flavor that
those of us from North America or that side of the world will be very familiar with the inside though
is where it gets a little bit strange so it is red bean paste it kind of tastes like what you would
expect it to I thought maybe it would add some sweetener or something in there but it's almost
like if you imagine putting like Black beans or something inside of a pancake it's just kind of
strange well now she's got me uh wildly curious about this little fish this little tiny fish
so given all like the sweet drinks we've seen in Japan so far I definitely thought this would be
sweeter like Anna said it's not that sweet at all maybe we're supposed to put something on it now I
know you can also get different fillings so maybe we should have got custard or like a cream cheese
or something like that I think it's safe to say we'll go back and try it again it is good I just
expected like a lot more of a punch when it comes to sweetness next up we are eyeing some sushi and
luckily they had a little bit left but there were no seats so we're gonna try to do this
out here we're standing up trying to eat this but if you're wondering what this is it's some
salmon sushi najiri so you can see the fresh uh fish on the top and then the little bit of rice
kind of below that I am a huge Sushi fan and this is going to be the first time I ever tried
in Japan all right so here's my plan I have some Wasabi down here already and I have this little
uh little tiny soy sauce that's the most adorable soy sauce on the planet it's like a little fish
I have no container for this so I'm just gonna I guess I'm just gonna put it maybe over top of this
don't get mad at me Japanese people because I have no other way to do this this is a big
old piece of sushi look at that like the salmon is massive I'm not sure my
Approach here I don't think I'm gonna get to the rice on the first bite mmm
oh yeah oh I asked her is it fresh and she's like oh yeah is it ever fresh they just caught
it today it's so so good zero fishy taste that's when you know it's really good sushi
hmm oh this is exceptional stuff exceptional stuff
you guys it's not disappointing at all oh my God how does Japan do this how do they do it that
Sushi I think I've ever had and I've had a lot of sushi so I very rarely eat fish because I usually
don't like anything that's remotely remotely fishy tasting at all when I've eaten it on the
channel before I think it's been like Ceviche I might have had fish and chips here and there but
I usually get Trevor to test it out first to make sure there's like zero fishy flavors I know most
people don't understand that but the people that understand it really understand it yeah I'm gonna
go for this it always makes me so nervous but Trevor had a pretty ringing endorsement it's hard
you can't you don't have too long to do it it does test the Chopsticks still Zone all right take two
okay so in general I would say that's really really really good zero fishiness
whatsoever the only weird thing for me is definitely the texture of it a little bit
kind of slimy the right word yeah it's it's something you're not used to so they have to
remember that you don't eat stuff like this no and when like I said before in
other times that I've had it been in Ceviche which usually is kind of relatively smaller
than this is like a big old chunk of fish so that's my only issue with it otherwise it's
super delicious and I could definitely eat it I just have to get over the texture of things
come on
what's kind of nice about the market is it's busy in spots but it's easy to kind of get
away from the crowds and then just step aside to eat like we just did it's nice and quiet
so you guys can actually uh actually hear us we're here about 4 30 in the afternoon
I wonder if it starts to close down soon so maybe that's why it's not jam-packed but uh
yeah I'm glad we came at this time of day Anna's got her list here of uh stuff we're
looking forward yeah we're gonna go back and forth I think between Avery we just did
just did Mochi which I've never had before apparently it's like a rice made out of rice
cake or something so this on the sign said it's a strawberry daifuku if I'm saying that properly
but I did read about it online as I already said is that it's made out of Mochi hopefully that's
correct it also said that it's made out of white bean paste there was an option for red bean paste
but we just since we just had red beans a couple of things ago I figured we'd go for the white
bean this time and then there's a strawberry on the inside let's talk about the texture before I
actually try it because it feels way different it's a little bit like [Music] maybe is the
right term and it's really cold like it kind of squishy between my fingers let's try it [Music]
so far today with the desserts it's just all I can say is really strange like I'm not disliking
them by any means but they're not at all what I expected so it's super junky like on the outside
it's like your teeth just go right into it kind of pulls apart so a very very strange texture
strawberry in the middle is really good though and that's kind of flower on the outside so I
feel like a flower all over my face next up we found a stall here with some Japanese beef some
amazing looking Japanese beef and I had to get this this is wagyu so some of you guys might have
heard of that the other very famous beef premium beef over here is Kobe so I thought I'd get some
wagyu try it out this is likely the most expensive beef on a stick that I've ever ever about to taste
in my life but had to be done I'm in Japan how often does this happen let's go for it [Music]
oh oh man flavor just keep coming the beef just so so soft that's the thing that shocks
me the most and this wasn't even the the one that is the most soft of all of them
there was another option but this is this is fantastic you guys the flavor is great yeah
it's nice and flat easy to eat and then you put this sauce over the top of it I didn't
even get time to ask what it was he just threw it on top and it's just a delight
to have this in the country all the things coming in here like sushi this beef I was
this is so high on my list of things to try and here we are in this awesome little market
in Osaka trying it out and it's not even close disappointing us this is so good it's delicious
all right we finished up at the market because well mainly everything was uh closing huh yeah
so I'd say I think it maybe in the morning is when it's like super busy again I don't know if
Saturday factors into it or not or if it's busier during the weekdays or if it's just a morning
thing but try to go like mid-afternoon because around four or five things do start to close also
notice some places on my list were close as well maybe again a Saturday thing I'm not sure we found
a restaurant to try something we're on the hunt for it's called okonomiyaki I think I'm saying
that right I think it's okonomiyaki okonomiyaki she can confirm okinomo Yaki I think we'll figure
out the pronunciation as we go but we got a front row to see here take a look at this cooking uh I
think what might be hours back there so this is going to be a lot of fun we actually ordered a
couple of things so one is the okonomiyaki which is a type of pancake I think normally it comes
with like pork and seafood but here they have a whole bunch of different options so we went for
rice cake and cheese yeah it could be interesting also this is what we really like about Japan you
get to kind of sit at these kind of bar areas but they cook like right in front of you it's really
shallow like counter so it's a lot of fun and just something we're not used to so our first dish has
arrived and definitely the most interesting way of being served ever there's this hot tray that
goes all the way in front of the bar in front of us and they basically put it right on top take a
look at this she goes oh cool it looks like it's moving as well but that's like the fish plate so
you got fishing in your life here yeah one I didn't realize it came with that I probably
would have asked for it without but it's fun to look at at least so we got two dishes and
the first one to come out is the yakisoba not the open nope now I forget how to say it we
went for a yakitoba which is a fried noodles I think it just basically translates to fried
noodles so there are noodles in there there is some cabbage I think they're supposed to be pork
there's we actually asked for uh green onions on the top there were as you said some Bonita flakes
which I'm not so excited but they're like fish for like fish skin I think let's give it a go
so even that first bite didn't include any fish or it just Blends in really nicely I'm
hoping it's the latter this is a really nice dish kind of like a soy saucey kind of flavor
on it a little bit sweet a little bit salty but really nice dimensions in there crunchiness from
the onions and the cabbage is really nice and I think they're as I said there is some
pork in there somewhere but it adds a really nice saltiness all right the second one the okanome me
up now I forget how to say it okinomiyaki okino Miyaki I had it down and now I like lost it as
we waited for it it has arrived it's on this hot plate in front of us wow look at that look
how pretty it looks there's like a design on top of there so I think the idea is you kind of cut
it and then we'll just kind of serve it out so basically this thing is a pancake now normally
people get it a lot of Japanese people will get it with pork or seafood we did not do that we
got cheese and this rice cake in here there's also like a mystery sauce on top he asked me
raise it again do we want put the mayonnaise on the top of it we said why not so here we go
this is delicious and right away I'm trying to figure out what this kind of mystery sauce is
on uh on the top of this thing it's kind of like a soy sauce but it's a bit Tangy almost
like a bit vinegary but you really taste the cheese obviously the pancake comes through as
well but such an interesting mixture it's like um like a thick omelette like in our part of the
world omelets are very popular so it's like a really thick Savory uh omelet with mayo on
the top as well interesting mixture of all the flavors but I'm definitely really digging this
and how fun is it to do this sitting right here at this bar watching them coach there's so much
action you can probably tell it's pretty loud in here as well but yeah I'm gonna finish this
up because it's way too good but we didn't really get the chance to show you Osaka at night but wow
it definitely uh lights up might we say and um way more people this isn't even one of the major
roads but there's quite a few folks around yeah this area doton's Boris yeah that's where we are
right now kind of the main area we were here in the last video but during the day here at night
time it's just like so many people so many lights really fun Japan is so much fun in the day but at
night is when this city Comes Alive you can see what's happening behind me now again we're just
on one of the smaller streets we could have those cars just people absolutely everywhere it's so
much fun just walking around here the visuals are just like over the top there's so much to see so
much artwork and all the colors look at all the colors of this place like it's crazy yeah it's
like all these finds that you don't really notice that much during the day just all light up during
the night I know this is I love this all week it's red yellow orange white just look at all the
people people everywhere well this was such a fun day eating all of the Japanese food we possibly
can huh yeah I know there's so many dishes here that we were so excited about we only got to try
it obviously a few of them because we're two people and we can only eat so many things in
one day they're still like Ramen I think we did pretty well I think we did well if you guys didn't
know we filmed this all in one day and we ate all that food over the course of about four hours yeah
maybe even less than that oh God traveling so hard on the waistline but thankfully we don't eat like
this every day we don't a lot of you guys ask us we don't do that every day but man so so fun the
food here is obviously outstanding and sometimes a favorite food today yeah or maybe maybe the sushi
I just had high such high expectations coming in that yeah like the sushi I did I I was wondering
how good it could possibly be how could it be any better than I imagined and it was yeah my
favorite was probably actually the pancake at the very end the more we got into it the better
it got it was really really delicious yeah what a day oh so we're so stoked to be in Osaka to be
in Japan and just going around trying all this food but if you guys got this far in the video
we really appreciate appreciate you watching it's Trevor and Anna delightful Travelers hit like hit
subscribe you know the drill leave us a comment we also noticed there was quite a few comments
in the last video about the metro and the transit system and the trains here so you'll be happy to
know that we we got some cards like coca cards and it's definitely that way better so the first for
people that didn't watch or didn't watch the last video we tried using like a ticket like we bought
a ticket at a machine and it was so confusing well it was actually confusing when we tried
to transfer with the tickets we needed an extra ticket it didn't work so we had to go buy another
ticket even though we thought we had the right ticket so and we couldn't find the right one it
was just like a big catastrophe basically but we bought the UFO cards and I'm pretty sure it's so
much easier we've used it a couple times now just tap on tap off and then it like take the amount
of money we had we had to give you guys an update because you all you all asked it's a food video
today but we're good now with the transit system it just took I think we have it more or less down
yeah sort of so new video coming up soon thanks again for watching and we can't wait to share
more of Japan huh all right guys that's it from Osaka wishing you delightful travel see you soon
