Ryosuke totally made me a tourist today.
Yep!
[ ASAKUSA ]
...with Ryosuke
Good morning guys
We are in Asakusa today
and I'm meeting a friend. No idea what we're doing
but he said to bring my camera
Once he gets here we're going to go somewhere...
I've never been early like this for something before. Strange.
Found him!
Hey guys, I found my friend Ryosuke!
(R: Hello!) So from here on out
it's all in Japanese. Good luck!
Let's go
from the middle
Alright guys we're going inside... the middle.
The middle?
What's it called?
The gate
The main gate.
Literally, the "Correct" Gate
The gate.
The real, front gate.
Those Kibidango are from the Tale of Momotaro
He gives them to a monkey, dog and a bird
so that they become his friends.
I've never tasted them before...
so let's try some!
We got it!
Kibidango dumplings and hot sweet sake.
I seem to be chasing the sake...
It's completely covered in soy flour.
My mouth is so dry and dusty now!
But it's good!
You gonna eat it?
See, it's easier to eat all at once!
Oh yeah... the Rooster
This year's zodiac...
it's the chicken!
Kentucky Fried Chicken
is gonna make BANK this year!
Looking for something to eat
How about this?
Ice Cream Wafer Sandwiches!
It's in the shape of a paper lantern.
I'll have "StandarAd flavor."
Yep, StandarAd sounds good.
Senkou?
Take this senkou (incense stick)
light the end on fire, take it over there
and then use the smoke that comes out
to wave over the parts of your body that need healing.
I like to think it'll help my brain.
Me too, I want to be smarter!
I do this every year but never get any smarter...
There's so much smoke on you!
Keep it coming!
So hopefully we'll have a good year!
We want either Daimon or Higashi-Ginza
We can take Hibiya or Oedo line...
Where are you taking me?!
to HERE?!
to TSUKIJI???
I've never been to Tsukiji before, actually.
So, we'll start by getting some sushi!
Here?
SUSHIZANMAI Flagship store.
It looks so good, Loretta!
It looks so good!
It's hot!
This was really good.
Plus it was so cheap!
You'd come back?
Yeah, every day! :)
Plus, it's cool to see the Flagship store.
I don't really eat sushi, even though I live here.
I'm pretty sure I gave up because all the sushi I tried
was kind of average but
this place was so tasty!
The actual Tsukiji market is probably closed
the auction definitely only happens in the morning
but we'll see what we can find in Tsukiji area!
Nothing?
It's all closed up!
This video is suddenly over!
It was closed so we're heading back to Ginza.
to end this lovely, Fish-ful day!
We made it to Ginza!
the Main Street!
We're heading out for the day but
somehow Ryosuke completely made me into a tourist!
Yep!
But, I'd never been before so it's good.
Today was mainly Asakusa, right?
So much fun!
