Hi everybody, you know how much I love Ramen.
A little bit too much, and I've always wanted to do a Japanese Ramen
convenience store taste video. Well, what perfect timing
with StrawBurry17 here, a.k.a Megan
I ran into you at the Sailor Moon exhibition!
Megan: I know!
Martina: Wasn't it amazing?
Megan: It was so great! I had the cheeseburger, the spaghetti,
I had all of the drinks, I had this parfait, oh my gosh, and then I took pictures, and then I saw you.
Martina: I'll see if you can guess some of these flavors, some of them I haven't had myself
so some of them are just going to be new for me as well.
Megan:oh my gosh this is exciting. Okay um, let's see how many I can get right.
Megan: That looks... delicious.
Martina: What;s this all about? That's where you're like "I don't want to look.
I'm like "You can't guess this, girl". Okay I'm going to mix this up a little for you.
Oh yeah it's got those chunks all broken up and stuff.
Megan: What is that? Like a corn cake?
Martina: I say take some out, and put it in your bowl, and try it out
Megan: Let me get some of the fluff.
Martina: Japanese fluff, it is a delicacy.
Megan: Oh god this is really tough!
Martina: You are really struggling
Megan: It's like.. it's like... ugh. I'm going to go for the Ramen first.
I'm taking all of the Ramen I.. ah! I've been injured! This is really tough!
Martina: Oh yeah look at that.
Megan: Do you need any of the juice? Probably not.
Martina: Don't call it the juice, it sounds like...
Megan: What?
Martina: Like we're eating insects. Like "make sure we get the juice"
That's for you.
Megan: Oh thank you! Ooo what the heck is this? Little raddish?
Little crabs?
Martina: Some of the juice!
Megan: Thank you!
Martina: And you can slurp your noodles, because that's what you're supposed to do
in order to cool them as you bring it into your mouth.
It's a delicate balance between choking on noodles and breathing cold air.
Megan: Got it.
Megan: How did you slurp those so good? I tried and it's too weighted!
Martina: This is kind of like... you put it in your teeth. Not like spaghetti where like... it whips you in the face.
Megan: It did kind of get in my hair a little bit. Okay here let me try again.
Megan: Oh my gosh you're so good at this.
Martina: Yup, nailed it! Right there is the sexy shot of the year
Megan: Look at me boys! Ew, I just spit it everywhere.
Megan: It definitely taste a lot of seaweed stuff is happening. That little patty thing was really delicious.
Martina: The puffy thing on top?
Megan: Yeah I actually liked that. It looked disgusting and scared me but now I feel comfortable
What the heck is going on with this? It's like brown and it's got speckled and stuff in it?
Martina: It's actually healthy for you if you have this kind.
You can have it cold as well and it's really really good.
On a scale of 1-5, 1 being awful and 5 being the best thing you've ever had, where is this?
Megan: I think this is a 3 because if I was really hungry and put this in the microwave
and I was like "I'm going to eat this"
Martina: Alright. Next one!
Martina: Simon, bring the cute. Are you ready for this?
Megan: Oh! Pokémon Ramen? Ooooh
Martina: Adorable right?
Megan: Yes!
Martina: So adorable you may not even want to eat it. Are you ready for this?
Megan: Oh my gosh yes it's so great!
Martina: Yup, that just happened.
Megan: Game over, game over.
Martina: I knew that you would like this one a lot.
Megan: There's little Pikachu's on the thing!
Martina: I'm going to pull a piece out for you guys so you can see this
Megan: It's so cute!
Martina: Isn't that adorable?
Megan: Wow I need to buy 50 of these and take it home.
Martina: They have different types as well! They've got multiple Pokémon on top of it.
Megan: Are you serious?
Martina: Yeah.
Megan: Oh my god.
Maritna: Yeah.
Megan: That's amazing! I'm going to eat Ramen all the time. I'm going to get fat!
Martina: Yes, that's why I have to try to exercise while living in Japan.
Exercise, self control. That's it.
Megan & Martina: And that's it.
Megan: That's enough cardio for everyone.
Martina: This would be made out of Pikachu juice I believe.
Megan: Pikajuice.
Martina: They milked him
Megan: Ooh
Martina: Yup!
Megan: From his tots?
Martina: Little tiny tatas. They just went like.... Pi-Ka-Pi-Ka
Megan: Okay!
Martina: Alright, let's dig in! You can tell the noodle color's already different right?
Megan: Mhm
Martina: This is how you get a bigger male demographic.
Simon: If we add some unnecessary censorship right there in the middle.
Simon: Of both of you slurping and bobbing your head
Martina: You picked the wrong channel to work with
Megan: This is some good Ramen
Martina: It's good right?!
Megan: This is really good. This is pika-good
It's like a little chicken. Like... I don't know
Martina: Pikachu tastes like chicken! You heard it here!
Megan: In case you ever wondered. Okay. Try some of the corn
Megan: Ohh It's So sweet!
Martina: Really sweet right? I feel like it's so sweet and it balances with the mega salty broth.
I'm giving it a 5 for Pikachu cake
Megan: I give it a 5, too
Martina: Pikachu right in the throat
Megan: I'm going to give it a 4.5
Martina: 4.5! Alright we'll see if anything beats Pikachu
Megan: It's so good the corn was good, the cake was good, there was a whole bunch of different flavors,
I loved the noodles, it made me feel happy inside.
Martina: Pi-Ka-Chu!
Megan: That's pretty good!
Martina: When I was eating Ramen as a kid, it was Mr. Noodle. It came with a little packet,
and the most exciting thing was it had peas in it because you hydrate the peas and the go "crunch" when you eat them
And this is in there!
Megan: Oh my god! What the heck is going on? Is there stuff inside of it?
Martina: I can't say anything!
Megan: Oh my god! What is that?
Martina: It's not my favorite, but it's one of my favorites.
Megan: It smells so good.
Martina: Want me to pour you some juice?
Megan: Oh my god yes please! Give me the juice!
Martina: What do you think this fluffy stuff floating around is?
Megan: Egg?
Martina: It sure is! Oh they are slippery, good luck. I'm going to use a spoon
Megan: Yes! Ugh. It's hot!
Martina: Careful they're hot
Martina: Spits it out on the table
Megan: It's like burning down my.. I can feel it in my chest
Martina: It tastes like hot, burning
Megan: It was really hot
Martina: If this was like winter time, I could just imagine walking down the street with my cup
of hot wontons with the steam rolling in my face, with my gigantic scarf on, and being like
Megan: As you do. Wouldn't you be holding a giant jug of maple syrup though?
Martina: That would be for washing it down. Then I would get on my Husky sled and be like
mush!
Megan: That sounds more like it!
Martina: Okay wonton voting! Above Pikachu or below Pikachu?
Megan: I feel like it's a 4.5, too.
Martina: I'm going to say it's 4.5 again as well! We're on the same page.
It didn't surpass it but these are on the same number
Martina: Noodle-y and magical.
Martina: Look at this bowl. Can we take a second to admire the bowl?
Megan: Whoah that's like a real bowl!
Martina: Plastic China. This is the most expensive Ramen. It's clocking at around $3
Megan: Wow
Martina: Which is still ridiculously cheap but considering the rest of them were in the 80 cents to $1 range
Megan: Hang on a second. There's like a whole beef chunk in here.
Martina: I'm not saying anything, we're just going to open it up and see what's inside
Megan: It's like Spam! Like how do they keep it fresh? We're going to eat that.
Martina: Yeah we're going to eat that.
Megan: Yeah of course we are.
Martina: You get the bigger piece since you are the guest.
Megan: This is looking like $3 noodles. It looks glossy.
Martina: It does look glossy.
Megan: This is a holographic noodle. First edition! Should we eat the meat chunk first?
Martina: Okay. 3... 2... 1
Megan: Mmh. It's kinda good!
Martina: Is it? because I just completely avoided my mouth.
Megan: You didn't try to eat it?
Martina: I mean, what? I totally ate it.
Megan: It tastes like beef jerky. I'm into it
Martina: That is good actually. If you took beef jerky and soaked it in water, this is what it would taste like.
Megan: I'm drooling already. That meat was really good. I feel so rude for judging it. It was delicious.
Martina: The meat is really offended. You have an entire tumblr post dedicated to you.
They're like " Oh my god, Megan made fun of me"
Megan: They're good
Martina: The noodles have kind of like an egg-y taste to them
Megan: It tastes a little fishy though. Am I being a weirdo or..
Martina: Probably a little bit of fish oil. The actual dashi that you make the
broth with is made with seaweed
Megan: No way!
Martina: This whole thing, I would not want to poop for like a week.
I mean, just keeping it real.
Megan: Yeah, I mean I thought you were going to say "not eat for a week" but you said poop for a week.
Definitely, that surprised me. Wow. There we go. A lot of us getting to know each other, so this is great.
A lot of...
Good.
Martina: I let you use my Sailor Moon chopsticks!
Megan: I mean thank you I love them They're so sweet you're the best!
This is like... it feels so rich.
Martina: This is a complicated one because quality-wise, it's definitely up there with 5's.
I can see why it was $3, but it's a bit heavy for me
Megan: Oh man it's so tough. I'd give it a 3
Martina: I'd give it a 3.5. We're pretty close. I liked the noodles the best.
This one and the Pikachu noodles are my favorite noodles.
Megan: Pikachu noodles were my absolute favorite.
Yeah this one. I wouldn't grab for this one.
Martina: Now I feel like we've eaten profusely. I'm really thirsty.
Megan: Excellent.
Martina: What do you think about an alcohol taste test?
Megan: Oh my goodness that's an excellent idea.
Martina: It's the perfect pairing for Ramen.
Megan: Yeah, I drink alcoholic beverages when I eat my Ramen. Especially my Pikachu Ramen.
Martina: Yes, which feels innapropriate now that I think about it.
That's okay I have some fruity beverages for us.
Megan: Oh my gosh! With alcohol it's the same thing it's totally it.
Okay, go and check out my channel because we tasted an assortment of delicious alcohol,
and things get really messy.
Martina: The question is are we sober now, or are we drunk now.
Which one happened first?
