well good morning from the shaky market here in Kyoto today we're going to be
sharing with you a Japanese Street food video so yeah we have come to the most
popular market in the whole city (Nishiki Market - 錦市場) we have come hungry we have come thirsty
we are sweaty it is so hot so let's go in get some cover and points
so first impressions it is nice and air-conditioned in here thank God
because we really need is some cold air right now
oh so this Nishiki market has a pretty cool feeling
look it's all glass and it's red green and yellow
see I'm pretty cool you seem lots seafood smells a little bit fishy in the
air yeah we're just gonna keep walking through here and see what we can find
I feel like you should probably Scout the area first before we settle on
something so yeah soy milk doughnuts we may have to start with those
so first off of the day the soy mouth doughnuts
we were planning to walk the full length through the market then we saw doughnuts
and that's like that's a very logical stop so you have 10 doughnuts we paid
300 yen it seems like a good value so let's just try it all them in there I
saw that you could pay an extra 100 yen if you wanted like cream or chocolate
sauce red beans on top yeah but I feel like you've gotten enough red beans for
a while you know just don't fluffy on their own
yeah and already a little bit sweet you don't really need anything else he's
gonna do this enjoy the natural flavor pretty good deal 10 per 302 thanks
bargain to start off with I'm trying one of the doughnuts as well they're nice
and light in the hand yeah mmm you're so fluffy yeah I was worried 10 doughnuts
would be too much but no problems are no prob we can finish these oh yeah we're
gonna eat you 5 honestly I feel like if I had you I could eat em and I can still
have more appetite for other things so they're really good they start
okay so we are switching from donuts to sashimi I know quite the transition so
we found a place that had so many different options we just chose three of
them fewer so we got tuna it's tuna octopus octopus salmon salmon it's got a
bit of green happy cilantro oh and how much were they oh so they were 250 young
each and then also the guy squeezed a bit of lemon juice over top here this
looks Maggie it's delectable all right yeah I'm gonna try these so I'm gonna go
with the octopus first oh that's delectably chewy I love the
lemon on it oh my gosh that's so good it makes it taste so fresh it's just so
juicy these pieces are a lot more plump than I
was expecting yes I would agree like be very nice little pieces of him very
positively tuned it looks even bigger but you know it was actually my favorite
oh it's just melts in your mouth mm-hmm not lemon that makes it if you
get these for sure ask the guy to squeeze the lemon yes that's that's a
key part and of course salmon Sam with the salmon
the whole we keep getting better than were you doing it do you have a thinner
y3 you tried these already and said you like the tuna the most yeah I have to
agree with you but they're all really good like I honestly thought that I
probably wouldn't like the octopus the most but that's right up there it makes
me want to try even more about they're so good they did have sea urchin if you
want to go back yeah let's go find a garbage bin for this
yeah it's keep eating more food look keep the good times roll in it so it's
not just about the street food here at Nishiki market you can also pick up some pretty cool
souvenirs like they have a cute little coin purses and like mulch trinkets yeah
in between all the feasting you can pick up a souvenir or two for family back
home
yeah all right guys next sheep I believe this is called yeah or something like
that and I thought this is made with bamboo but I'm sure I ordered it they
explained no this is actually shaped like human shapes like basically a
bamboo sheep fishcake right with cheese in the middle it is a fish cake and you
could get it with different fillings they had cheese or cows tongue yes like
I also had clean - yeah and we paid 350 yen for this which I will say now that I
think about it it's not the cheapest considering the size no it's pretty
small here we have it bamboo shaped
what do you think I'm biting into it surprisingly chewing on the cheese
itself reminds me of those like you know the pre-sliced yeah cheese that comes
like individually wrapped in plastic oh yeah yeah the prepackaged white cheddar
yeah that's what this cheese tastes like okay it's like Princess tooth okay
we'll see what's them things are this bamboo shaped fish cake and she goes do
you find it runs okay but I mean I don't love it either yeah I would recommend
this one for sure definitely not it's got a bit of a weird spongy texture to
I've gotten bill I'm chewing on this fun I just feel like there are better things
to try out this March like you have so much variety yeah why waste no it on the
fish cake yeah okay so now that lunch time is approaching this market is
starting to get a little bit here just a little bit more crowded it's a covered
market it's like a covered street but it's not very wide it's actually quite
narrow and there's just a lot of people walking around Nishiki Market trying yeah I'm so hungry
I've had a few little nibbles something as we enjoyed the worse them so I see
what up what else is on the menu for today this is a suit
in Kosovo mustard on the butter yeah oh yeah thank you
that's all your dreams next up gallops we walk past this little stand and they
were steaming scallops and smell good
and these are giant fella they're pretty big so we paid 500 yen
yeah we got two pieces yeah she put two different sauces one was a soy sauce the
other I believe he called the Kyoto sauce then you can have bought her on it
right yes he took some butter mixed it with mustard and spread it on the
scallop itself it smells good selecting the juice after drink the juice so I
guess it's like the the water from the steaming yes with the sauce and the
melted butter so yeah this should be and pumped about it I have to say it
normally I'm used to eating like the middle parts of the scallop I've never
had it like all this stuff around it yeah to be honest that part does that
look the most appetizing so I'm gonna start with the middle okay
there's such a big scale how is it honestly it just breaks apart it's so
tender and soft and juicy how are those losses the most dominant
flavor is the mustard okay it's almost like it has a little kick of wasabi mmm
so it makes me think maybe it's like a Dijon mustard you know like a little bit
of spice yeah yeah I'm gonna try the juice except to drink the juice so drink
that you use good stuff yeah 3-minute 500 going in with Matt gallop yes
some Gallup Oh what you just put the whole thing in your mouth
mm-hmm mm-hmm weird crates and everything mm-hmm oh my gosh that's
probably the best tasting scallop I've ever have ever all those different
sauces I can taste the butter ma right now - yeah like you said it's got a bit
of a mustard wasabi kick a little bit of that water without dropping what's left
of a scallop Oh the juice is good too I'm gonna have even more I love it I
would get that again for sure yeah yeah
so next step we're going for something sweet we are having a mochi and this is
a cold mochi it was refrigerated because it has fruit inside yeah so we got one
that's filled with blueberries Sam's gonna be trying that he's never tried
this kind of mochi before hopefully we've had it with strawberry another
yeah that's right and this is one it's that it had an orange but I have a
feeling it's gonna be like a Mandarin or a tangerine yes yeah 200 yen each they
feel great heavy on the hand and they look looking very plump so yeah I'll go
for orange you'll go for blueberry let's figure again
what do you think
Heys I'm having a moment here with my Moultrie good and it's just so juicy
like you bite into that it's such a sweet tangerine and like we've had this
with strawberry before like I mentioned yeah at another food market but this is
just so refreshing like honestly the perfect thing to be eating on a hot day
like today I feel like I should save you some okay so Sam is going to try mine
before he goes into the blueberries nice of you yes you need to experience it
this is like Japanese Street food at its finest
oh my gosh such a beautiful creation the mochi is so delicate on the outside it
is mmm the food is so juicy in the middle yeah it's like the perfect speed
food for summer in Japan yeah way too hot anyway blueberry time let's see what
this is all about guys I can see that blueberries are trying to poke out here
yeah
oh yeah the other one with the orange was a bit more juicy but I loved the
various and you know they had other fruits we saw a pineapple and
strawberries well pick the one you want yeah forget all four that's an even
better idea okay this was Sam's pick fried calamari
I know so we paid four hundred and ten yen for a small little cup and yeah this
looks golden crispy let's see how it tastes
right calamari right calamari oh that's nice it has a really nice batter that's
kind of a it's it's savory and slightly spicy mmm mmm I like the sound of that's
right hmm carpet cooked away you like it I really like them
okay oh yeah it's really chewy dude yeah super chill I like the batter look at
the batter like the batter more than I like it cute so I I like I like being
able to buy into it so yeah this is not your style I also feel like it could use
a dip mmm no a sauce would be nice yeah yeah either lime or lemon juice Oh dip
that's why see a spicy meal that could go so nice with that don't they have
grapefruit juice over here here 500 yen straight from the source and once you
exit the market like at the very end of the market there appears to be a temple
it's kind of cool kind of unexpected Sam has already run ahead a camera in tow oh
yeah we're almost there and reassure me that they have lots of
paper lanterns so it looks really cool
check out this you can get cucumbers on a skewer that have been tapped in
basically with giant blocks of ice in there did that cucumbers on a skewer
with giant blocks of ice fancy kitchen knives coming up so as you can see it's
not just food here we've seen like pots and pans and fancy knives chopsticks and
fridge magnets so all sorts of things for the kitchen not just food you can
get something called tackle of tomorrow which is a quail egg and the head of an
octopus that is right here
and we're finishing off a desert oh we found another place inside the market
where you can actually sit down and rest for a few moments and we have crepes and
milk tea bubble milk tea so Sam chose this one so it's a crepe with caramel
and cookie I promise yes and vanilla yeah and I got a regular yeah you got a
coconut milk coconut no problem see but we're gonna eat this first of all I'm
sorry
chocolatey cookie crumbs are they crunchy kawin scream crunchy cookie bits
oh yeah like I need to bite into this it's got a lot of good stuff going on
caramel cookies that dough the crepe is just so light good stuff good stuff oh
this is just a really really yummy way to finish things and you know what I
find the crisis here really reasonable like I remember when we were in Tokyo we
walked through Harajuku where they slowly seen crepes yeah and the place
was like triple I know what we paid here I know alright let's move on to the last
bubble tea the final I an ice-cold drink yep
refreshing yeah I got the regular milk tea this was actually Sam's I've never
had bubble tea we cook it up I bet it's gonna taste so good anything with
coconut milk is always a win oh wow I feel like that it's coconut cream oh
my god that is so sweet and really love that it's almost a little bit frothy Wow
so that concludes our tour of the shaky market here in Kyoto I hope you guys
enjoyed seeing some of the Japanese Street food you can find here I have to
say most of it was really really tasty there were a few strange items I'm
looking at you fish piece in the shape of bamboo we did
actually enjoy it so I would say it's worth a visit if you're here in Kyoto
it's a cool park it because you can also buy like knives and chopsticks yeah and
ceramics and when you walk through they also hand out free samples yeah
you can try some I feel I feel it's a very friendly market for tourists if you
vote a lot of samples there they're very okay with you taking photos and dance
