Morning guys. I just came back from a morning sprint to get a Pokemon. There was only five minutes left
it was a kilometer away so I ran there, and I got it and then I ran back
It was another Slakoth and I used a Pinap berry so I got six candies, yes
We're heading to the recycle store now. So gonna take you guys on a tour. It's my absolute
Favorite store- they have clothing, they have plushies they have
Figures...what else do they have- they have like a snack section like a traditional Japanese snack section
Keyboard-san likes the One Piece section, so he usually looks through that and comes home with another figure for his desk
There's a jewelry and a watch section. There's tons of stuff. Anyways, so I'm gonna take you guys for the grand tour
We're going there now
Say bye bye to my, my wardrobe- big chunk of it
We're at the recycle store now
I'm in the girls section. The girls section is a lot smaller than the guy section unfortunately, but it's still quite large
Lots of clothes and shoes and purses
Those are interesting
Sometimes you can find brand-new things here with the tags still on, especially after lucky bag season
Because if people don't like what they got, they just take it to the recycle store
Without even wearing it once
This one is (Japanese) "sen ni hyaku", so about twelve dollars
And then stuff that isn't a well-known brand will be a lot cheaper
They often sort things by the brand so it's really easy to find stuff
This winter jacket by Lip Service is only
two thousand
Eight hundred yen. Less than $30
Recently they've started selling Big Bang's stuff too
lots of the merch from concerts and
stuff around like kujis
Nicole would like this
$10, that's a good price
Hello
There's some posters
Here's the Johnny's section- the Japanese boy idols
Mostly just photo cards, oh looks like they have some concert merch
here though
Light sticks, oh, that's so cute. Oh, she has the cutest light stick
Some female idols as well- not very many though- the female idol section's really small
Whoa, they're mystery boxes with Idol goods. This is Kanjani8.
This is like a
mixture of
K-pop ones
They'd be fun to like unbox
Should I get this and unbox it with Nicole
The One Piece section I was talking about
Keyboard-san's favourite.
We've been looking for a certain two figures for a while, and we can't find them. They must be super rare
We've got four out of the six of the collection
but
they're nowhere to be found
But recycle stores are a really great place to get figures cuz you can get them for really good prices
and the selection here is insane
There's so many
Look at all these figures
And this is all just One Piece
there's some Dragonball
Giant Dragonball plushie
He tries to buy Doflamingo every time I come here
how much?
Christmas Chopper
Tons of really pretty dolls too - I'm always looking at these when I come in here
these range in price from about
$70 to about $170
The anime merch is the craziest. There must be at least
Like ten thousand figures in this store alone
Again, really cheap - these are all $10 each
Recycle stores are a great place to come for souvenirs - you have friends who like anime
Many of these have never been opened- they're sealed in the box
Some wall scrolls
Sonico
my favorite section
So it's really cute teacups for two dollars, and if you find three items with this sticker on it you can get them for five dollars
Such a good price.
Chibi Sonico
Really cute, all five in the set for $30.
They always have some Sailor Moon stuff, but not much
lots of gachas
Sakura Hatsune Miku Nendoroid for $18, feel that that's a really good price - in the box, brand-new
This is a huge Sonico, how tall is it - it's one-fifth scale
This is my hand for reference. It's really big
it's also a hundred dollars
This is the Gundam section - the kits where you make them yourself
So many, and again, really really cheap, way cheaper than if you bought them new
Even though lots of them still are brand new, and they haven't been used
about $30.
This giant one is
$80.
These are all about $20
Keyboard-san wants a Gundam now
How much
My favorite part of the recycle stores are the little
Lucky boxes that they do - you have no idea, well
You can kind of get an idea cuz you can see a little bit
But you can't see everything, so you don't really know what you're gonna get and they're quite cheap. Sometimes
You can find some really cool stuff in there
And they usually have a theme, so you can look through them and try and find one you like
Sometimes I get the Pokemon ones and get lots of those little sofubi figures that I paint
found lots of lucky boxes
K-On
(Reads the Japanese)
Pretty girls
Sonico and K-On
Five dollars
Oh, it's like a 3D, 3D picture
If you look hard you can find stuff from video games too, but it's mostly from anime
I'm always looking for Final Fantasy stuff. There's really not much- you'd expect there'll be anymore
Cuz it's Japan, but
They're kinda hard to find.
There's a UFO catcher for a (Nintendo) Switch, what. That must be so hard
It's 200 yen per play
How many plays will it take to knock it down?
This is the traditional Japanese snack section. It's a mix of stuff
That's been around forever and some newer snacks. One of my faves
sweet potato jelly, it's
So good
There's actually something I wanted to get from here to show you guys
I got one before and then I forgot to show it in a video, so I'm going to see
If they have it still
Didn't have the one I was looking for but I got a couple things to show you guys
And I'm gonna look at my house because I think I still have it somewhere
So I'm gonna stop by here and grab some food for Keyboard-san, he's hungry
Luna
Maro
Hey
Hi
So we printed out my visa application form for Korea, and it's a freaking novel
Twenty pages long
Now that I have this cute little teapot, it's so easy to make loose leaf tea, so I'm gonna try out
It's not a snack. I'm sorry. It's a tea. I'm sorry. Do you want a snack?
Do you want a snack Maro?
Want a snack?
Is it snack time?
Okay, we'll get back to the tea in a sec.
What snack do you want. Luna, pick a snack? What do you want?
What do you want? Come here
What do you want?
Want a tube?
Where are the tubes?
Don't have any tubes. There's none left.
Sorry - oh there they are, it's your lucky day, what flavor is it?
Lobster, fancy
Are you gonna share?
It's like Lady in the Tramp with the tube
Is it good? You like that one.
Maro, get in there, you're not gonna get any
Ah it's on my leg. Maro, get it, my leg
There ya go
Because this is orange flavor, I think it'll taste so good with vanilla soy milk
Let's let that steep for four minutes
Mmm. Not really sweet, but just enough
I really like that. Okay, I'm gonna go write my book of visa
application papers
I'll be back in a couple hours to show you guys what I got at the recycle store, those little um
Japanese snacks that I got
Two hours later.
I just got a package from Australia. I've been waiting for this
Yes
Oh my god!
So this is cotton candy
Boys Tears flavor
Ginger Bread
Peppermint and
Snowball
You guys
There was a little iron-on patch and some stickers inside
So this is from @fluffegram on
Instagram, go check them out. They have the nicest looking cotton candy. Okay. Let's taste it. Let's taste it right now
What flavor should we go with?
I kinda want to try Boys Tears because I've no idea what that'll taste like. I've never had
Fancy cotton candy before, I've only had like the cheap stuff
From the fair. Oh my god. It smells so good
Oh my god, it's amazing
At first it's really sweet and
Then it's slightly salty
Which is new for me for cotton candy, but I love it
Luna wants some
Sorry Luna
It's not for cats
This package is a dream come true. This would make the best birthday present for someone. Who doesn't like cotton candy?
Okay I wanna show you guys what I got at the store.
These are two of my favorite, uh
Snacks in Japan, so if you come here, I recommend that you try these
Here's a number one. This is called Hitokuchi Yaki-imo Yokan
"Hitokuchi" means like "one bite". "Yaki-imo" means like
Mmm grilled
Potatoes - is it grilled?
Like those steaming sweet potatoes that they sell here in Japan and
"Yokan" is what this is. Let me show you, it's kind of like a jelly, but there's no gelatine in it. It's made using Kanten
So this is what it looks like, you pop it out of the tube
It's this like
Solid jello-ish thing and it smells so sweet
Mmm. It smells like caramelized sweet potatoes
Mmm. Have it, it's so good
And this is 20 cents, you can get these for about 20 cents
20 yen. Oh I lied, 30 yen, 30 yen
But I feel like getting it out a recycle store is probably not the best place, you go to a grocery store
They're probably like 20 yen
And then one of my other favorite snacks are these, these are called "Don Don
Yaki", and they're sauce flavored. Unless you've been to Japan
Probably don't know what that means, but it's like okonomiyaki sauce
That kind of sauce
Looks like that inside
They are these little deep fried snacks that are covered in
sauce flavored powder
And they're kind of, they have like a slight vinegar taste to them, I think that's what I really like about them
It's kind of like, if I had to compare it to something
American, it would be like salt and vinegar chips mixed with maybe barbecue chips
And that's the best I can do. They're so addictive, they're so good
and again super cheap
20 yen - 20 cents for this pack of them
When you come to Japan
Try those two snacks. If you've tried them before, let me know what you think of them.
