what could be better than visiting Japan visiting Japan during cherry
blossom season this is why we came to Japan everything is even more beautiful
and today while hitting up some of the best cherry blossom spots in Tokyo it was
actually called Sakura Street we're going to eat every single Sakura flavored thing
that we come across there's loads of places that do Sakura flavored edible things I feel
like there's going to be a lot of cakes today there's not going to be any like Sakura Ramen
nothing Savory no it's just gonna be cake I'm happy with that yeah I'm happy with that and we
start with the biggest Starbucks in the world this Starbucks is huge it's got four floors
and they even do cocktails and pizzas aside from all the coffee of course the inside of
this building is inspired by you guessed it the cherry blossom trees we're obviously here for
their Sakura flavored drinks and cakes of which they do plenty and I have this one okay one cold
pretty now I love Sakura flavored things I kind of like rose and floral flavored
things Dylan a little bit less oh I like that that's not a good sign
it tastes like a fruity coffee I actually don't dislike it
it's actually very nice yeah so low then we go two cakes um Sakura flavors
[Music]
oh this one's beautiful
that's really good
subtle hints of Sakura in that yeah from a person that doesn't love Sakura
flavored stuff these cakes are good oh the cake is so good cake for breakfast
full day still the sky is not blue
Sakura is the Japanese word for cherry blossom and these are the trees that we see all around
us right now there is a word in Japanese called Sakura Hanami and essentially that
just translates to flower watching and it's a big celebration of spring and the sakura trees
now normally I think people gather under the trees have a nice little picnic the sun is shining today
it's raining there's not so many people Gathering under the trees as such but it still feels
like quite the celebration May the hunt continue 7-eleven here we come don't look for anything pink
we're polish raw cheese cream puffs that sounds good right cream puffs
oh wow that is so pretty whoa [Music] whoa
what it seems to be with all these secure things is they're so like mild feels like a steam bun
I think I like Sakura treats more than coffee let's go yeah we're coming up
to a place that's actually called Sakura Street look at all those trees behind us
oh so nice I can only imagine with blue skies and sunshine that this would be even more absolutely
fantabulous but I have to say this just feels so Japanese this is like the experience that
we came here for that's so pretty everything's so quiet so it feels like Christmas it feels
like Christmas maybe because they're white and some of them are like the petals are
falling out of the trees I don't know if that's because the rain's hitting them or that's just
how they sort of Bloom they kind of start falling off immediately but [Music]
next up something a bit more fancy than your average convenience store
it's so smart they live in the future here cheesecake fondue there's so much here that I
want to eat but we're on the hunt for something Sakura now there's a lot of pink stuff but most
of it seems to be strawberry that one looks like Sakura but it's strawberries but that's
strawberry this has Sakura Blossom salt over it and something cute and small where do I buy it
oh it's so cute look how cute it is oh so soft yes like it's like soft like like a
it's gonna sound super weird like a baby's bottom you know like it's soft not squishy
no it's not squishy it's like soft I can see something pink coming out of it let's try it yeah
it's like a really sort of light fluffy cake sweet cake round and inside it's like
creamy really light this looks like it would be heavy it's not I like it
sponge yeah okay a very mild flavor this feels like something a very fancy lady
would eat with her tea or us stood next to the Pachinko place in the
rain that was good but that's when things started to go wrong first the rain [ __ ]
on this Crossing and it's raining again I'm trying then the failure this Sakura [Music]
and then again
the pink things but it could be strawberries wait so strawberry strawberry
strawberry and I am bummed out it's not fantastic
but thank God we're in Tokyo where they have the perfect cure for my condition
oh [Music] wow delicious you want some
oh hello this is the best thing ever just a quick intermission from all the Sakura puppies
[Music]
that was so nice it's like we entered another world I forgot what day it was there was just
puppies and love and it was warm and just like that our luck was back one Sakura please [Music]
oh it's very earthy like red bean inside and the outside is very Sakura so all I'm tasting is just
like the Earth can you eat the leaf I don't know to try quick train too I do like that
I'm not supposed to eat on the train put it back in the plastic
whilst we were on the train I actually took the liberty of Googling this so the leaf on
the outside is edible it's a pickled Sakura leaf and these are commonly eaten on the 3rd
of March which is Japanese and girls day yeah and celebrating the start of spring
the leaf is like vinegary
milk pudding matcha huh
this looks super interesting it's like a moose I think that is what it is right um
this one it's got loads of layers I don't really know where to start with it but it's
like mochi balls on top this is good good time no thanks he doesn't like it very much I like it
oh my goodness in Japan convenience store food is pretty decent but I think we
ought to sit down and eat in at least once today they have
a big sign that says Sakura special there's like candy coming out of my ears right now
right here
it's like a warm cracked strawberries and then a Sakura cream
smells amazing
one thing Japan do well whipped cream that's very true [Music]
we've uncovered a tiny Alleyway which is just I don't think tourists usually come here but it's
full of Sakura trees super pretty it's
it's pretty much no one here a couple of people jogging some people coming home
from school it's so peaceful it's so clean I have never seen anything like this no country
that I've ever been to compares to how orderly and clean and peaceful it feels here [Music]
foreign what an incredible day but it's not over just yet we grab a Sakura beer
then head back to where we started to have the most romantic evening ever
that's definitely it that's definitely it oh it does look really nice and it reflects
[Music]
wow this is why we came to Japan
it looks just like a movie
[Music]
this has been everything I expected and more I don't even care about the
rain it's been the best day we've got our uh Rose let's
call it Sakura champagne yeah let's call it something yes love you I love you yes
