Did you just fart?
Or is that something to do with this?
I have not farted.
( music playing )
Snackaging is when you look at the packaging of a snack
to determine what something is
- and if you will like it. - It's particularly helpful
when traveling to a land foreign to your own,
when you want to decide what you want to eat.
Today we'll be traveling to Japan.
Whoa, where is it?
Did you see that, sleight of hand?
Yeah, wasn't very sleight.
There's a lot going on here.
You stick in that and you smile like that,
and you got rocks on the outside of it.
This is like the Japanese version of Fun Dip,
and they got it right.
- Oh, yeah. - Oh, look at this. It's a whole deal.
How much water goes in?
Eyeball it. Good.
So what you're supposed to do
is mix it and then dip it into this.
It's getting a good consistency.
You gotta be a master whisker
to get this-- oh, look at that.
It's frothing, man. Look at that.
( grunting )
Nice. Oh, it's like a mousse now.
It's a dipperoony.
That's sour.
- Whoa. - Let me get on that train.
Sour, isn't it?
Just as I suspected.
What do we have here? Look at this?
It's so light. I feel like I could drum
and you wouldn't even know I was doing it.
Well, I kinda do know that that's happening.
- It has a little man boxing. - ♪ Feel the rhythm ♪
It says...
There's a octopus up here,
and he's on a microphone,
and then there's a gray creature with a Band-Aid
and boxing gloves.
It might be a rice log. Can't tell.
Ooh, ooh. See, that's what I get for hitting it over your shoulders.
Yeah, that's what happens when you drum with it.
It does have a seafoodish flavor.
Oh, does it?
Mm. That's good.
Oh, it's okay.
I like it.
"The Excellent."
This is The Excellent.
What fruit, when dried, is The Excellent?
I think it could be an apple strip.
- Let's open it up. - Apple strips is our answer.
Let's see if we're right.
- Ooh. Ooh, each gets his own. - Look at that.
Oh. Uh-uh... Cheese.
That's some spongy cheese.
It's string cheese. Look. Ah--
- I shouldn't have eaten that, huh? - It's not gonna hurt you.
Man, that is so good.
Oh, look, it's similar packaging.
"Rippable, non-resealable fun times."
"Rippable, resealable fun times."
That's what they call snacks in nowhere.
Well, I think maybe in Japan.
Looks like something that grew that you shouldn't eat.
I'm saying it's squid.
These are squid legs, fried and then dried out...
- For funness. - For funness.
- Oh. - Yep.
It's a little crunchy. It's a little sweet, too.
It's squid legs?
- Squid legs. - Squid legs does it again.
I tell you, they like to put stuff in
( together ) Rippable, resealable funness.
- Oh, this is a dried fruit? Hold on. - These was that.
Last time we thought something was a dried fruit, it was cheese.
- No-- - So I'm going with cheese.
No, no, but that's peaches.
"Dried apricots
with honey on top."
You don't wanna eat all these at once,
'cause there's... four of them.
Why would they make something with so few in it resealable?
Dink it.
Ah, umeboshi.
Umeboshi plum.
That's why.
Ooh, it's not an apricot.
I love it, though.
- That is frickin' sour. - I love it, man.
I love to have my mouth attacked.
My whole face is trying to invert itself.
Uh. Is that was it is, umeboshi?
You can have it.
One of the most sourest things on the planet.
Whoa, a big one. Look at that.
It could be human skin.
It looks like it could be banana peels.
It has the consistency of an eggplant.
- It's a fish. - It's striped.
That is a fish's body.
- This is a bass. - I hope it's not.
It's so pretty how they put it together.
- Is it fish? - No, it's not.
Yes, it is.
This would be like one mad goatee.
Can you imagine driving up on my hog?
( imitates motorcycle engine )
I'm here for the motorcycle meeting.
I think you're gonna get disinvited
if you come up saying that.
You gotta roll it up.
Open. Open.
This would be good.
Man, it is pungent.
Holy moly.
Eel?
Yeah, 'cause it's not fishy enough.
Cool, a box of something.
Look at that. We got a stack of Styrofoam.
There's a smiling person.
That's gonna be us in a second.
- What's that big onion called? - Big one.
- That's what this is. - There's a big onion?
I'm thinking of a leek.
A leek is bigger than an onion?
- Okay. - This is that sticky bean stuff.
I've seen this before.
Look at those strings, man.
Yeah, yeah, sticky beans,
and then you take this,
and you make a party.
Should you heat it up?
- Should it be heated? - I don't believe so.
Did you just fart?
Or is that something to do with this?
I have not farted.
How can you not smell that?
Ugh, it farted.
It is the only thing I smell right now.
Beans supposed to make you fart but they're not supposed to be fart.
- Rhett: Oh, my gosh. - Is this called "OhMyGoshi"?
I feel like, as a bean lover,
I should like it.
- It's better to taste. - It tastes way better than it smells.
It's savory. It's sticky. Potentially poisonous.
- Fermented soy-- - Fermented. Hm.
Will this get me drunk?
Nope. Let's just seal it back up and call it a day for this.
That's an acquired taste.
I haven't acquired it yet.
Let's taco about that.
