[Music]
good morning everybody a very sweaty
good morning from here in summary Tokyo
today with norms
yes we are how do you actually I used to
one of my very first part-time jobs I
ever had when I first came to Japan was
working at a gym you know everything
other than that I've never really
explored the area but I've heard that
there are a lot of like I've got a lot
of people who'd message me like oh I'm
staying in a hotel in a week of all you
should check out the area there's a lot
of little so I want to see if we can
find to be a lot of little I've never
been to well may I probably beam to a
gigabyte never known it it's just never
been something where people have said
hey let's go to a geek a bar hang out
really close to it is it is it's
very close to changing but as you can
tell it's very much yeah definitely so
hopefully we can find some good spots
and let you guys know all about it maybe
one or two of the air conditioning oh my
god
also we'd like to thank our sponsor for
this video which is experienced Suginami
Tokyo thank you for sponsoring us you're
great let's go and explode okay come on
[Music]
love koi that's so cool I want to hug
them but it's forbidden look at that big
guy oh this is the deco it on time
there's so many little parts hidden
throughout Tokyo just like that well
maybe not just like this this one's
actually really nice as well there's a
lot of Momiji everywhere and I think the
entrance was gingko trees so I think
this place would be super nice in autumn
I really want to come back here I was
taking a peek at my phone online they
said all those trees are like a hundred
years old
oh damn okay
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
first meal of the day it looks pretty
good healthy yeah nice and healthy big
old bowl of ramen
o'kiku was actually really well known
for ramen like shinjuku is the typical
drinking place yeah yeah and in Japan
probably already know this but Japanese
people tend to go for ramen after they
drink it's heaven closing out of the
night and I said leave the ramen zone
right beside the drinking zone yeah
Shinjuku you can go drinking but I know
there's a fun few ramen joints in
Shinjuku but a lot of them are kind of
directed towards tourists to this very
touristy area so if you want a really
authentic rum experience just head on a
little bit off to yogi Kobo and there's
lots of different kinds of ramen shops
around yeah
lucky mom
whoa what is it it's very rich I'm going
straight
mom hey good
the place we're at right now is hold
coup Botha because the owner is cooling
us down you're gonna under show up in
might as well pull it you're a name I
think I would do that have a still cool
mo you sell a month take a little good
luck you go that's my new business
all right well we're just gonna chill
and eat some ramen and then I think
we're heading to a gotten off to this
sir got to stir up some energy to go out
in the whole weather again
yeah
[Music]
it's gonna give you like a chime the
sound to be mine you guys hear that
nice meditative yeah definitely
it takes you out of the moment of all
the heat and everything going on around
you it just kind of takes you it's it's
like a peaceful water summertime yeah so
I got us a bit of a guide but I did a
terrible job of handing that to color
garden and behind us is gangee sambal so
this used to belong to a famous poet yep
they actually do like poetry or haiku
like classes and stuff here now
I personally am partly just a garden
yeah they got a nice space in the middle
of Tokyo where you can enjoy the green
and the sound of the cicadas in the
summer and it's only like what about 15
minutes yeah it's it feels like 46
degrees day yeah it's pretty hot outside
but yeah so because this place is uh you
can you can learn how to do haikus and
do poetry here so we're gonna do the
haiku challenge yeah you got a haiku
love the sound of bugs I am so very
sweaty
I would like ice cream I'll just be meme
like I'm getting thirsty yeah we should
grab some no that doesn't work so yeah
I've already I think we should grab
coffee why not head there now okay
[Music]
okay so we made it to initio geeky bar
and this place that we're at right now
was just a five-minute walk from the
station
it's called mono tikki and it's a key
sedan coffee shop and I really like how
it looks in here yeah they've got so
many antique clocks on the wall and
what's a word and it's it's a good
feeling it's a good vibe yeah it's very
quiet here it is so this area initio
gigawatt is actually known for antiques
and coffee shops it's like a really kind
of classic classic classic vibe to it I
thought I was gonna go for a cold drink
and the cinnamon tea looks really cool
so ordered 70 but it only comes in
haunts let's do it and it Tessa it's a
milk tea too so I'm gonna have
indigestion but uh he was saying that
chewing on a cinnamon stick will help
indigestion maybe I won't hold you to it
I'm gonna just try it I'm no doctor but
but I've heard that like chewing nantes
yeah I'm gonna look this up now because
it didn't happy to go on the internet
for absolutely forever yeah you know
people are gonna get angry at you if
you're not 100% correct about a benefits
of chewing on cinnamon loaded with
antioxidants and inflammatory properties
there we go oh oh
[Music]
what a vibe with this many clocks I'm
amazed it's not like all of them going
over yeah I feel like it would be insane
are they all different yeah they're all
at different times someone says it's 15
plus 700 yeah yeah it started the coffee
itself is really mild I don't really
like sour coffee like I prefer something
that's a little more bitter it has like
a soft taste to it
do you often come out like okay I
actually don't I would need to go Kisa
10 M aww that's so nice and it's such a
nice place even if you want to like do
some work during the day I want to start
doing one of the first videos that we
did together we went to it yeah yeah
yeah that was back when I was living in
a sucks it's the atmosphere right yeah
[Music]
I'm going to get some antiques I don't
know we'll buy any I'm excited that if
they have something all on my bite
I'm never actually been doing antique
shop in Japan really but I love antiques
like recycle shops yeah guys find some
really good stuff and an antique shop in
Japan is a really good way to kind of
like check out the history in like a
very different way right yeah definitely
not that is providing that they haven't
just thought the place with Western it
that's what I am thinking like is it
gonna be Japanese antiques and Western
antiques because I don't know this kind
of area is what Koenji has a lot of um
secondhand stores and a lot of them have
like American or western clothing so I'm
wondering what the antique stores like
[Music]
I like this yellow ketchup and mustard I
think there's so much cool stuff here
that I need to like have time to unpack
everything yeah this is awesome so many
beautiful lips some playing cards I just
in general love playing cards card cake
all right I don't really know any card
tricks I can do stuff like that
the sensational orange drink with the
real orange flavor in the big big bottle
bottle looks huge I actually have a like
a small collection of Gacha machines or
these gumballs style machines in my
house I have a full-sized metal like
North American one that's about like
that wide buy this buy this and it's
just filled so back in Canada I have at
least three like this and it's actually
lately tempted to actually pick this one
off get it no pressure at all it's
really close
oh man let's have a little sit-down cute
little seat
yeah it's an antique the place is
awesome there's so many things that I
want in that but
you know the truck by the way we're next
to a road there's so much stuff in that
I wanted I really want those ketchup and
mustard chairs gumball machine didn't
fit in my back oh well at least we know
where the store is so maybe if I get
like a nice big healthy paycheck I can
come back and get ketchup and mustard
this is actually like a really nice
little antique store it's been a good
day yeah yeah it's been so nice
traveling around and just like
saint-gaudens drinking lots of Pocari
