good morning
so today I am on a different camera so
it's a little heavier day I decided to
go out and try something new
I'm making oatmeal right now and then
I'm gonna head out the door kay I'm
bracing myself for the cold because it's
so freakin windy outside no warning
yesterday was a bit of a flop I headed
to an abandoned train station that was
open only for a short time and tickets
ended up being sold out she's so into it
so we're anyway no park right now and
we're headed to a abandoned train
station that was open in 1920
I think they closed it in 1970s and then
they reopened it for some odd reason so
people could go and see it I think
there's art inside and that's what they
open it for because I guess a famous
artist drew on the walls I think
I'm sorry so we came all the way here to
see if we can get into this old train
station and we're too late so this sucks
so we headed to capo Bushido D which is
a Street full of shops that sell
kitchenware but most of the shops were
closed so today I wanted to refresh
myself and connect with Japan on a
different level to make the week a
little bit more worth while walking down
Shinjuku streets I was reminded of what
I had seen yesterday and it's the crazy
amount of plastic foods on display kappa
boshy street had a small Museum of these
plastic foods and I can only say it one
thing what you see is what you get for
like fake food and you see this in shops
like everywhere and it is insane how
real they look like
video USB drives - hungry you guys look
at the KFC so what does Japan do that
keeps me wanting more it's a
presentation of the food served that
makes me drool before setting foot into
a new restaurant or shop out of all the
fancy food in Japan its seafood is what
Japan specializes in when it comes to
presentation and taste Japan is an
island surrounded by water
therefore the access to fresh fish is
easy and so when you come to an
authentic Japanese restaurant trying the
fish is a must I was invited to a venue
to try out some fish from several
different prefectures of Japan each fish
is from a different region of Japan so
get ready to be hungry while watching
this okay so we got the first dish so I
got Kyle azúcar from USA Prefecture so
inside there's like fish eggs they said
that all of the fish here are from
different prefectures and that's why
they gave me this map a lot of
professors that I visited before so this
is very like nostalgic for me I'm going
to take a bite see what it tastes like
oh it's sticky here I go
it's it's a little sticky when it comes
out of the bowl but when you eat it like
it doesn't see it doesn't taste sticky a
little bit slimy huh it's not bad I've
never had a dish like this before so
though this dish has all the fish from
like almost all of these prefecture oh
my gosh feel good like legitimately like
the freshest fish I've ever I'm not even
kidding I'm like so happy right now but
it's very smooth it's not fishy at all
Japan has the most beautiful display of
food like ever I've been told that fish
in Japan taste so different compared to
the US it's much more affordable as well
and it's much better and so refreshing
okay for the next dish that they gave us
was keema Budi it's from Eva ducky
Prefecture so this dish is actually
eaten on kena mop city which is girls
day in Japan so in Japan you'll see all
these dolls like everywhere and so you
would eat this delicious soup on that
specific day doesn't have too much of a
taste very subtle taste
okay so Saba is my favorite fish I'm so
excited and it looks like it has some
kind of miso sauce on it and this is
from let's check our maps from yachak
prefecture and suppli is my favorite
fish so I'm so excited to eat this and
it looks like it has some kind of miso
sauce on it look how tender this fish is
[Music]
like I order this kind of fish whenever
I go to a sushi restaurant that is so
good guys I'm so full right now for the
next thing that I got is from it's hot
top group which is from Hokkaido so this
is okay and then this is hot hot group
so we have two different ones on the
plate this is a daikon radish so we have
ginger here and daikon and so you just
take a little bit of this
I love daikon that has a very butter but
early but early but early is that work
that's a very buttery texture I've never
tasted a fish quite like that
what's coming okay so so far really
really enjoying this and I ate the whole
plate of sushi getting kind of work but
I have a second stomach for like
Japanese food like I can eat a lot the
sake we tried is from Yamaguchi Japan
and with smoothest we've ever tasted
Saki is not like any other alcoholic
drink you've ever had so be sure to give
it a try while you're here you guys have
never tried sake you have to that's like
a must when you come to Tokyo if you
drink there's so many different types of
sake there's like Alma's okay which is
like a sweet sake come by it's really
good it has a very smooth the taste
I'm so excited inside right now guys I
just can't can't tame myself in love
sake
[Music]
next on the course menu was crowd and
since I suck at trying to open the crab
shell I needed to ask the restaurant
staff for help oh my god
this crab comes all the way from the
Pilger prefecture I've never been to
Kyoto prefecture but I think it has to
go now I was so full of amazing seafood
goodness at this point but our next dish
comes all the way from Aomori and
Hokkaido so it's a mix on this plate and
the theme is tempura yes so if you guys
have ever had calamari like it's kind of
similar to that it's just fried squid
that's a really fresh squid how many of
you like trying new foods this plate
also came with this fish cake I never
tried before it's kind of like a garlic
bread roll fused with like fish it's
really good I didn't obviously eat all
of this as much as I wanted to but since
it's the new year they gave us a hamachi
sushi which is for wishing for the
year's good fortune you eat this roll in
a specific direction silently wishing
for the thing you want to happen the
most this year until you finish it
tamati sushi so it's like made with
hands and they make it into little round
balls so this one is full monkey like
look how big this is like the biggest
rolled-up sushi that I've ever seen
little do you know you can eat sushi
with your hands look at this is really
heavy it's really good click on the
other side we also have a student that
came with it
there is salmon in it I think a lot of
Japanese can taste very natural like
this fish just came from the ocean
straight from the ocean the vegetables
just came came straight from the earth
like that's what it tastes like to me
and I love that about you can't
I swear I'm not drunk on sake we're
finishing off this meal with some ice
cream so this is katsu little best
shoots the dashi that you put into like
soup base in Japan so it's very very
Japanese it's great I'm really excited
to try this I'm not a big fan of katsu
and this is from she's old up smells
like fish this is an experience to be
had you've ever had okonomiyaki who's
ever seen it they have these fish flakes
that go on top of it kind of like what
this tastes like
is fish flakes that you would put on
yakisoba or takoyaki or something like
that I haven't had a proper Japanese
meal in a very long time I'm usually
going to a lot of American type
restaurants and things like that as I
miss that kind of stuff but I've started
to crave a lot of Japanese style meals
and today we are having a lot of fish
and a lot of very beautifully presented
foods I feel like a lot of people don't
understand how much work this goes into
Japan is surrounded by water so there's
a lot of fresh delicious fish to try so
if you haven't tried any of it and
you're coming to Japan this is a must
try just try it give it a chance yeah
I'm gonna finish this ice cream and
thank you we spent like two hours in
that place eating so much food was
absolutely delicious I loved everything
and they asked me what my favorite dish
was and I was like I cannot decide and I
loved the sashimi plate I eat that whole
thing and the soup was so good so we're
gonna walk down oh boy they yolk Joe
because it's a really cool place to walk
down I can barely breathe right so which
one would you try and which one did you
do you think that you would like the
most if you were to to taste test it if
