Alright guys today we are taking you to an American institution.
Shake Shack.
And thankfully Shake Shack has become so popular that you can find them all over the world
yes where you can enjoy their delicious hamburgers.
So today we are going to be eating Shake Shack in Tokyo.
I'm beyond excited when I saw there was one in the city.
It was like we need to go because seriously these are the best hamburgers in the whole
world.
And you are going to see why soon.
One SmokeShack single.
Alright here we are at Shake Shack.
We just placed our order.
Oh my gosh I was getting a little grumpy walking here.
Like we took the wrong route and we were like out in the rain.
But now that I'm here now that I've got this little buzzer waiting for my order I am so
pumped.
And we were just sitting here talking and we've realized this is our 5th Shake Shack
that we've been to in five different cities around the world.
Oh tell us.
So I will tell you.
So we started off in Las Vegas.
Uh huh.
That was like two or three years ago.
And then we had it in New York at the original location.
We've had it in London.
We had it in Seoul when we were visiting Korea about a year and a half ago.
And now we are having it in Tokyo.
So this is a very international affair for us.
I'd have to say.
And you know what?
I actually have had Shake Shack in Washington D.C. by myself before you ever tried it.
Before you ever tried it?
You never told me that.
I know but because I had it in D.C.
What???
Then I knew it was so good.
Dude, which is why we had it in Vegas.
I feel jealous now.
I feel like I have to one up you now.
Maybe I'll try it in Chicago if they have it someday.
(buzzing sound)
That is the sound of happiness.
It is ready.
Our Shake Shack burger is calling us.
Dun Da la doo.
Dun dun dun.
This is so wonderful let me turn it around.
So you can see.
The goodness.
That is Shake Shack.
So I'm going to read the menu so you know exactly what we got if you want to recreate
this order.
And you probably will.
For the hamburgers we got the SmokeShack which is a cheeseburger with all natural smoked
bacon, chopped cherry pepper and Shack sauce.
I got the single.
Yeah.
Sam got the double which has two hamburgers.
Yeah.
Then the fries we got the cheese fries in the regular size.
Yep.
And moving on to the drinks we got the black sesame shake.
Which is Japanese.
Yes, it is the one menu item that is unique to Tokyo.
Yeah.
To Japan.
Black sesame yes.
We've been eating a lot of that.
I can't wait to try that.
Yeah.
I bet it is going to be rich.
I bet it will be.
And then for the dessert this is called the chocolate peanut butter crunch crate.
Like concrete.
Hahaha.
Yeah.
With chocolate custard.
Yep.
Valnerona chocolate chunks.
Chocolate toffee and peanut butter sauce.
Yeah.
And if I need an excuse to eat peanut butter and chocolate we'd love that.
This is going to be amazing.
The hardest thing is filming it and not eating it right now.
We're doing this for you right now.
For you the audience.
Yes.
The moment.
Look at this thing of beauty.
We've been waiting for it.
A behemoth in the hands.
Two patties, loaded with cheese, bacon.
If I peel it off here look at all of that red pepper paste.
Oh my gosh.
It looks just beautiful and I need to get in there for that first bite.
Oh!
As good as you remembered?
That is the real deal.
That is as juicy and as good as I've had it at any Shake Shack.
I'm just going to zoom into your mouth so we can see the grease.
Yeah, I had a big greasy bite.
I'm so hungry I only ate fruit this morning so like I feel like my taste buds are heightened
at the moment.
And this is just too wonderfully delicious almost to describe.
It is like the juiciest meat with all of that cheese with the crunchiness of the bacon.
With the spiciness of the peppers.
It is just wonderful.
Like this is as good as it gets guys.
I'm loving it.
Audrey is going in for the big bite of hers.
Mmmmm.
Which is just like mine except one less patty.
This is so good guys.
I've just got to say something.
I feel fortunate that we don't live nearby a Shake Shack.
Because I don't think we could control ourselves.
I feel like we would be there every week.
Yeah.
At least every week.
At least.
I'd say like every time there was a low moment in the week I'd be like wandering over here.
Solve it with a hamburger.
But right now I'm just trying to remember like when is the last time we ate at Shake
Shack?
Like two years ago?
Yeah, it was a couple of years ago.
It has been a while.
It has been a long time.
I think it was late 2016 in Seoul.
It has been a year and a half.
Almost over a year now.
And can we just talk about how juicy the hamburger is like.
The bread has just soaked all of the grease and juiciness from the burger.
Yeah.
And the bacon is crispy like not fatty.
Yeah.
We have so much ooegy gooey melted cheese.
Yep.
And the peppers it just gives it a really nice kick.
And then you have that mystery Shake Shack sauce.
I don't really know what is in it but a bit of mayo for sure.
It is so good.
It is just so good.
And you know what?
The patty the burger is not like round and even.
It is a not a perfect shape.
But who cares when it tastes like this.
It is overflowing.
Hahaha.
Mmmm.
So good huh?
So good so so good.
The bun this has been created by like a master chef in my mind.
Yep.
To create a burger like this.
That tastes this good.
Mmmmm.
I know.
It was like it was custom designed for us.
And everyone else in the world who likes burgers.
Hahaha.
Seriously.
Hahaha.
Okay moving on to the fries.
Check these babies out.
We've already been sneaking a few bites in between.
You have been!
I have been definitely.
More than one.
I've only taken one.
So these are crinkle fries.
Yeah.
With like ooey gooey cheese.
Yeah.
Get in there with the cheese.
It kind of reminds me of cheese-whiz but creamier.
Oh yeah it is way better than cheese whiz but it is like that.
It is so good.
It is like that but way better.
Advanced cheese whiz.
Mmmm.
And the only thing that could make this better what?
Is some chilli on top.
Throw some chili.
You know what?
They may have some extra dressings around here.
I might be able to throw some things on those fries.
Nom nom nom.
So now time to try the milkshake.
Yes.
Before it starts melting.
I'm very interested to try this because this is the unique menu here in Japan.
I've already mentioned that.
Yeah.
But I just can't wait to try it.
Black sesame.
And you can kind of see the black dots from the sesame there.
Oh my gosh.
That is so good.
That is the best.
Not the bast.
That is the best black sesame anything I've ever had.
Really?
Anything with black sesame.
Yeah.
And I do like it.
What does it taste like?
It has such a rich black sesame taste.
It has like a rich ice cream taste.
It is just like the ultimate milk shake really.
Oh my gosh you've got to try it.
Let's see what this is all about.
Yeah, I can't wait to see if you like it or not.
I love it.
I don't know if you'll like it.
Hmmm.
Wow.
Interesting?
That is interesting.
Like I'm usually not a huge fan of black sesame.
Yeah.
Because I've had it in mochi and I've had it in dumplings.
Yeah.
And I find that it is very overwhelming when you just bite right into black sesame.
But here it is very light, very palatable.
It is just a hint of black sesame.
It is not like a strong overpowering flavor.
Yeah.
You can still taste the vanilla ice cream which I really like.
Yep.
So yeah this has been a pleasant surprise.
I mean I think I still prefer like the peanut butter milk shake.
Right.
And like a salted caramel or chocolate.
Yeah.
But this isn't bad.
I'm glad we tried it because we are in Japan so it makes sense to try like one of the Japanese
options that you can't get anywhere else.
Anywhere else.
Yeah, exactly.
Exclusive.
And I'm trying to remember when we were in Korea it was something with red bean paste.
Yes, yes.
That was the unique item.
There was a unique shake that we ended up getting.
I forget what it was but yeah it had red bean paste in it and something.
Mmmmm.
Black sesame is like a little bit nutty.
A little bit nutty and smokey in the back of your throat.
Yep.
It has been good.
Okay now time for chocolate peanut butter crunchy crate.
And we've been taking so long filming the rest of the food.
Everything is melting.
Is starting to melt.
Yeah.
But let's dig in now.
Let's get in there anyways.
Mmmm.
Is it good?
Oh wow.
Do you taste the peanut butter?
It is like a rich chocolate soft-serve ice cream.
Wow.
With chunks of chocolate.
Yep.
And bits of peanut butter in there as well.
Wow.
I'm going to love that.
Hahaha.
Mmmm.
That is everything I like in life.
Wow.
That chocolate and peanut butter is the perfect combo.
Yeah.
And I was just saying about the milkshake like oh I prefer peanut butter or chocolate
like this was okay.
But you're getting that for dessert.
But now I'm eating the flavors in the dessert.
Exactly.
So there you go.
Amaze-balls.
Amazeballs.
Verdict.
Amazeballs.
So that meal has come to an end and we sure took care of every last bite.
Yeah.
Every last drop.
Boom!
Do you want to know a really weird confession is I could probably eat three of those burgers
and just not do anything else the rest of the week.
That is how good they are.
But I'm not going to obviously.
I don't want to die.
Your belly would not thank you.
I don't want to explode but yeah let's move on to price point.
So we demolished all of this.
So this came to 4,212 Yen which at current exchange is $38 US dollars so basically 19
per person.
We had a lot of food.
We got the premium burgers.
We had the fries.
We had the shake.
We had the concrete.
Yeah, it was just a lot of food.
Everything was delicious.
It was as authentic as any Shake Shack we've been to anywhere in the world.
And it terms of price point it kind of fits in the middle.
It is a little bit more expensive than the Shake Shack's in the US but considerably less
expensive than the one in London for example.
So yeah if you are in Tokyo and you're craving a delicious burger you've got to come here.
We highly recommend it.
So thanks for watching guys and we'll see you with more Japan food and travel videos
soon.
Bye for now!
