Hey guys! It's kind of noisy in here
because me and Kelsey are in the subway
But we are headed to do some hanami! (Cherry blossom viewing)
Our first hanami of the year!
Well my first, you too?
My first too!
So I'm super excited because I love hanami!
And I thought I would show you guys the subway
I don't usually include my train ride in my videos
So I thought maybe you guys would find that interesting
So we are going to take the train just for 1 stop actually
It's super close
Asano-san! <3
is in the stationnnn
So that's always awesome <3
The train should be here soon
And it's only gonna be a 3 minute ride I think
We made it on the train
I'm gonna try hard not to get other people in my video
except for me and Kelsey, because that's rude
We're gonna take the train for 3 minutes to Nakameguro Station
I'm not sure where the sakura are exactly
So hopefully we can find them easily when we get off the train
But yeah! Excitingggg
Luckily there's a map right outside the station
So we are here and we want to find this river
Because there's lots of sakura on either side of the river
and it's so beautiful!
There are so many people here!
The sakura in Japan only last for about a week or two
Unlike Canada where they'll be around for months
So, once the sakura start to bloom
everyone rushes to go see them as soon as possible
so that they don't miss them
Sakura spotted in the distance!
Check it out!
They're almost in full bloom
We came at a really good time
This river is located a 20 second walk from the station
So if you come out of Nakameguro station and just keep walking straight
you will find this place!
If you guys can see the petals in the water...
when the sakura start to fall off after a couple weeks
this river becomes filled with petals and it's so beautiful
So I hope I'll have a chance to come back and see them again
Are you ready to see the delicious food that we picked up at the convenience store on the way here?
We found these really yummy looking bentos
So me and Kelsey each got one
They have lots of veggies in them
Which is awesome! Because I love veggies!
I also love egg and there's a tamago-maki
and this rice has some egg on it too
These look like shrimp croquette
And a potato, some pasta
some rice with different grains in it
and we also found some sakura desserts!
So I've shown you guys sakura mochi before
But this is "spoon de taberu sakura mochi"
So, this is a sakura mochi that you can eat with a spoon
That's nice! So we won't get our hands dirty
So that is gonna be super yummy, I can tell already
And we got some drinks of course!
Because you can't do hanami without getting drunk
We got "shiroi sawa- momo aji"
These are like a light cider kinda drink
Peach flavour!
and Kelsey got a beer
and we got our chopsticks and wet tissues and we're ready to go!
Mmmm!
WHY IS THIS SO GOOD
It doesn't taste like peach it tastes like candy!!
Oh my god
It tastes like a mixture of ramune and peach
Better!
Cotton candy and peach?
Yeah yeah yeah
It kinda tastes like cream soda!
THIS IS SO GOOD
I don't drink very often, I don't really like alcohol
But this is so yummy!
Tatsuru... what's going on with your hair?
Are you a beautiful princess?
Yes yes. Let it go~ let it go~
This is what happens when Japanese people drink beer
Be careful
We just found the most delicious thing ever
so we had to buy it!
Because that's what we needed right, was more sweets
It's a sakura-an filled taiyaki!
But it's not just a regular taiyaki
It's made with a pie crust instead of the regular doughy kind
Holy crap♡
That's good huh?
It's like a pie crust, a hot pie crust
It's filled with the same filling as in sakura mochi
Two thumbs up!
If I could show my other thumb, I would!
Two!!!
This is my first time coming to Meguro River for hanami
I love it here! It's really nice!
And it's not super crowded, it's a lot less people than I was expecting
So I think I'll be coming here next year!
And probably again this year as well!
I hope you guys enjoyed my hanami video
and happy sakura viewing to all you people in Japan!
Thanks for watching! Bye!
