[Applause]
[Music]
so
good morning adventures from one of our
favorite cities in the entire world
tokyo japan we're here it's our final
day we've been to the city one other
time
and we just love how unique and fun and
exciting it is so we thought
we'd take you guys around and show our
top 10 favorite things to do in the city
oh yeah it's going to be an amazing day
we're going to pack a lot of stuff
in we are so excited to take you guys
along with us there'll be a lot of food
a lot of fun sites it's going to be
pretty spectacular all right let's get
this day started
[Music]
one of the first things you're gonna
notice when you come to japan is that
there are vending machines everywhere
pretty much on every single street
corner and there are spots like this
where they're you're literally
surrounded by them
what you usually have in these vending
machines you're gonna find some classic
japanese drinks you're gonna find a lot
of coffee
you're gonna find a lot of pictures of
tommy lee jones for some reason because
i think he's the spokesperson for this
boss drink that i keep seeing everywhere
i don't know if he knows he's the
spokesperson but who's more boss than
tommy lee jones pretty much
nobody you've also got some classics
tropicana
red bull some bottled water all kinds of
goodies
we even have some corn soup i believe
all right
yeah so some of them do have a food
dishes that you can get as well
but these are so incredibly popular
we've gotten them a few times when we
needed a coffee and we were in a hurry
it's actually super convenient so what
drink do you fancy madame
well i think i'm gonna pick the most
adorable one here which is this one with
the little guy
smiling at me coco yogurt
taste taste i'm assuming there's gonna
be little jellies in there i think i'm
gonna hate it
but i'm gonna give it a go so you put
your money in right over there
press the button oh and voila sustenance
there you go it's that simple y'all all
right
coco yogurt taste here we go oh
it's real milk in there
oh oh that is delicious
there's definitely a little jelly that
punched me in the mouth
it tastes like um a melted
coconut popsicle or something that is
really really good
all right there are still so many other
things for us to experiment with i mean
look at this guy
we got to try that next time well there
is still so much more of tokyo to see so
let's go
[Music]
we've even heard rumors that there are
vending machines with alcohol
we have not seen them in tokyo but we
did find one in osaka
which was amazing they even have
cigarette vending machines if you're
into that
we are not so onward when you're in
japan you have to check out the 711
stores
they have thousands of them all over the
city and they are nothing like the
7-elevens where we're from
no this is a whole experience it's like
a whole lifestyle
so many unique items to check out we
love just going in and browsing around
and trying things
so many amazing products i don't even
know how they come up with some of them
yeah so we're gonna go inside and give
you guys a quick look
[Music]
the most exciting part about 7-elevens
for me is all of this packaged food that
they have they have so many pre-made
meals
and they're so varied so you have your
kind of sushi inspired dishes
got noodles you got salads you've got
sandwiches you've got bento boxes you've
got
anything you could ever want this
section here is actually my favorite
section this completely caught us off
guard when we first got to japan
this may look like just a cold drink
section but it is actually hot
you can feel the heat coming off of it
so all these drinks
yeah they're all sitting in here warm so
you can get hot coffee just grab and go
if you guys thought hot dog buns were
only for hot dogs think again 7-eleven
is here to change your mind and blow it
look at that fried noodles yeah fried
noodles
on a bun there's also
chocolate on a bun type thing this is
condensed milk on a bun we've got some
corn in like a
danish looking thing corn mayonnaise you
got your vitamins
you got your beverages your cold coffees
you got your teas you got your sodas
you got your beer you got all your snack
items they have
everything here of course you can get
all sorts of pre-packaged stuff at
7-eleven but they also have a hot case
at the front where you can get some
hotter fresher items i don't know if
they're fresher but
if you want something warm they got you
covered grab and go food is great no but
we have a date with something much more
delicious
let's go
when in tokyo you have to eat the ramen
we eat it pretty much
at least once a day i think you can see
we've been doing it once a day when
we're in japan
but uh there are ramen restaurants all
over the place to be honest
most of them are pretty good we haven't
really had a bad one but this is one
we've been dying to try it's called
ichiran
and this one there's actually a few of
them around the city but there was one
right next to us
and there is a bit of a line there
usually is so you gotta you know wait
through that but it's worth it it was
way bigger when we walked by last night
so i'm
fine waiting in this small line so when
you come to a ramen shop you're gonna be
greeted by a machine
just like this some not as user friendly
as this one has
not as many pictures but what you do is
you put your money in first that's key
select what you want then it'll give you
your change give you a ticket and then
you bring that to the
[Music]
counter
we've been seated you get little
individual
dining areas yeah so this is really cool
so some places are like this some places
are a little bit more open
yeah so you can come here on your own
you don't have to worry you can just be
in the zone with your noodles
but i haven't seen this yet where
there's a little window here that they
open up you can't even see the person's
face they just open this up and put
stuff in here and then close it me an
egg
get an egg what the heck
our ramen has arrived so you can get all
types of different ramen you can get
soy sauce based ramen you can get miso
based ramen
this is this place only does one kind of
ramen it's tonkatsu
which is pork bone broth and it looks
really good
so you can see the broth is nice and
oily you can see little
kind of some coloring to it there's
these nice thin noodles and then a
little
bit of some i guess some hot stuff on
the top there and then you'll get
some nice pieces of pork in there as
well but super simple
and here they put all of the uh little
fixings on the side so you have extra
pork here some seaweed and then what is
this
mushroom mushrooms there you go and they
have this handy little extra item order
sheet so if you decide you want more you
can do it real easily be advised it is
cash only though
[Music]
so they had different levels of spicy i
went for the spiciest one
uh hopefully that's not a mistake here
we go
oh it's got a nice kick afterwards the
broth is really nice but it's not
super salty or porky or anything like
that
it's just really nice and subtle
oh the heat get you oh it's making my
eyes water so i've dug into the ramen
let me tell you guys the broth is so
delicious and salty
and thick in there and you can give it
get it even thicker if you like
but it's got a ton of flavor to it it's
really nice i got mine mild spicy so not
too spicy i think that was a good call
because allison's dying over here
[Music]
holy cow you guys that was incredibly
delicious
but as usual i ate way too much i always
do that when you go to these ramen
places i feel like ramen is
tricky you feel like you get really full
because it's all that broth in the
noodles there's still
a ton more to see so let's go
[Music]
the coffee scene in tokyo is absolutely
huge so we love just exploring the city
finding new coffee shops to check out
we found this one called the rosery
which came highly recommended it's in
the shibuya area
so we've got a couple uh lattes yes so
they're roasting fresh back there
most of the coffee shops we've been in
since we've gotten here they've had
their own or they've done their own
roasting and house which is great a lot
of them have given us a choice between
different types of beans we want to use
with the espresso
so we went with brazil today it was
maybe the most expensive latte
we've ever had i think it was almost
eight usd or seven fish we didn't know
what we were getting into but hopefully
it's really good so
yeah it smells great so here's to uh
brazil it is really nice wow
it's not bitter and it's really
chocolatey it's very chocolatey that's
why i wanted
it's good no latte is worth that price
in my opinion but this
is absolutely delicious this is about as
good as a latte so i'm happy with our
decision
we'll get the hot latte from the
7-eleven to make up for us
tokyo has all sorts of themed
restaurants
and cafes there's one that's robot the
robot restaurant yes that we keep
wanting to go to but we never you have
to book in advance and it's a little
expensive
we haven't made it yet one day we'll go
they have animal cafes all kinds of
stuff cat cafes
we are going to be going to a very
special themed cafe
in just a second you'll have to stay
tuned to see what it is it's gonna be
a hoot
[Music]
surprise we came to an owl cafe we gotta
be very quiet because they don't like
sudden noises
apparently we can pet them on the head
but i'm a little scared to touch them
they're pretty intimidating
yeah they got some big ol eyes that just
pierce right into your soul
[Music]
that was pretty cool overall because you
got to get really close to the owls and
some of them had a lot of personality
some of them really didn't mind people
yeah there were hawks in there but we do
have kind of mixed feelings about it
because they are in captivity
some of them don't mind people some of
them really don't like people so i'm not
sure if they give them
time to actually fly around or if they
rotate them out or not
yeah it's hard to tell it sucks we've
been to a lot of cat cafes and we love
those because
the cats always have like a safe space
they can go away people you know they
just get to roam around and do whatever
they want
get as much attention or as little as
they desire but this was
i didn't love it the the birds are tied
to a post
and even though most of them didn't seem
to mind human interaction
i can't help but feel and they would
rather be out flying around or at least
free a lot of them were pecking at the
ropes
yeah i don't know i guess just uh yeah
do whatever you're comfortable with
it's a cool thing to do but i would
stick with the cat cafe because yeah
i had a lot more fun at the cafes anyway
but it was a cool experience nonetheless
there are lots of cat cafes here
[Music]
another thing you've got to do in tokyo
is check out the shopping streets
so in our last video we were at tagoshi
ginza shopping street which is the
longest one in tokyo
but far less popular than the one we're
at today
so we're at the takashita shopping
street this one is
way more crazy and extreme there's music
everywhere there's colors there's people
oh my god elbow to elbow so it's a bit
more touristy but you're also going to
find locals here you're going to find
every all walks of life on this street
and the fashion here is amazing
[Music]
one thing you have to experience when
you come to tokyo is the kauai culture
which is
just cute culture it's basically
anything adorable
think of like hello kitty fun
handwriting unicorns
anything pink and cuddly and cute and
you'll find stores like this
all over the place in tokyo and they're
so adorable we always run into them and
just look around and everything
yeah they sell so many little trinkets
it's great i guess if you have you know
nieces or nephews at home that are into
like little miniature things they have
everything also candy stores and dessert
shops all over the place
in tokyo especially on this street yeah
japan takes sweets to a whole new level
we're used to like our suckers and
donuts and stuff but here
i mean anything you can think of it's in
candy form
yeah so this is one of the shops right
here one of the many that you'll find
but there is
so much stuff to explore in here so much
stuff to write your teeth out if you're
so inclined
[Music]
we are just passing through shibuya
crossing which is some people say that
it's the most crowded intersection
in the entire world yeah for sure it is
in japan i would say yes it is
incredibly crowded it's like a bonus
must-do thing in japan you at least have
to walk across the intersection for sure
excited to see if you can get up high i
think there's a starbucks actually
where you can have an awesome view of
the whole intersection yeah it's pretty
wild
lots of people there's
i think we deserve a drink after all
this walking around yes yes
leads us to our next must-do in tokyo
we are at an izakaya and an izakaya is
basically
the japanese equivalent of like an irish
pub is kind of what you
like me too cozy bar or something like
that yeah but it's a perfect place for
some bar
food usually very delicious some uh
drinks
we got our favorite drink the high ball
but we've ordered some squid i think so
we're gonna nibble on that
and enjoy our drinks we're a little
early so we have this place all to
ourselves
vip dining and isn't this the coolest
place ever we just we're sitting right
next to the kitchen we can just watch
these guys work
it's amazing we placed our order and
when it was done they just passed it
right through the window to us it was
amazing
so we got some uh fried squid here but
this is the kind of stuff you get in
izakaya it's like
you know nibbly bits you can get some
more proper meals i think but usually
this is what you get
something like this where yakitori which
i believe are the skewers skewers
grilled meats
last but not least we have got to get
some sushi
and our favorite way to do it is
conveyor belt style y'all we love this
because as the conveyor belt comes
around they just keep placing more and
more sushi on there and we keep taking
it
and keep eating it but the price can
rack up quick yeah luckily for us when
we first got here we found this place
right here
we thought the price was racking up but
it was actually pretty cheap so it ended
up being about
15 usd for both of us and i
feel like we got pretty full i think
we'll probably spend a bit more tonight
we are very hungry
all right let's go
this is so much fun because you get to
sit here and watch these guys work watch
them make the sushi craft it put it on
the plate
then you just take what you want put it
in front of your face eat it but there's
a guide right here that shows you how
much each plate costs
um so you know how much you're spending
yeah and you can also order special
rolls so if it's not coming around and
you want it
just put it in order which we just did
[Music]
oh my god that was so satisfying the
perfect way to end the day
yeah i think the total there we got saki
we bought extra rolls it was 25
under 25 usd total it was beautiful it
was a dang good price in my opinion
but i hope you guys enjoyed coming along
with us i hope you get a chance to visit
uh tokyo as well and if you have already
been to tokyo make sure you
let us know down below what are your
favorite things to do in the city
favorite places to go all that good
stuff
yeah but tomorrow we will be off to
osaka
we will be taking our first japanese
bullet train yeah and i can't wait
uh it was a bit of a fiasco getting the
ticket so i'm really hoping everything
works out tomorrow
yeah stay tuned for that all right good
night adventurers we'll see on the road
