hey guys today we are doing Japanese
snacks yes my voice is a little funky
and since we're in Canada I'm not gonna
do this alone I'm gonna bring in my
brothers Alexander and Jessie who are
gonna join me both of them have been to
Japan my friends from Bocuse who were
like what while you're in Canada can we
send you a box of Japanese snacks and I
was like can you send me too and they
did so thank you guys for that and I've
never unboxed a box of snacks before
like ever so I'm gonna put one back here
all right it's got a book alright as we
open it up it says autumn in Kyoto did I
say that weird I feel like I said that
weird autumn in Kyoto there we go it's
got it talks about the classic box the
tasting box and the vegetarian box a
hole that's for me yeah yeah so Jessie
has a lot of shoes he he can't eat
anything he's allergic to the world
Crohn's celiac and about every food
allergy into the Sun so but there was a
lot of stuff that you could eat in Japan
yeah I feel like this is actually a
walkthrough of everything that's in the
boss was a little like story behind it
so I'm just gonna start peeking into the
box a little courtesy card here I will
so inside this is what it gives us here
let's do a quick walkthrough of them
okay first and foremost my Chuck about
to ticket or much afford it it comes
with three packs of much whole day we
can definitely drink these so we'll get
these going on later sorry Jessie I feel
like this is just gonna be a big ol box
of sadness for Jessie but Alexander and
I are gonna have a great time
I personally like to add milk also in
Canada milk comes in babbles Japan has a
lot of seasonal foods let's find out
what they are in the book that is what
the book is for darn it right here
what's all hi goose him bit and it is
it's got common allergens of milk eggs
fish crustacean shellfish peanuts wheat
soy I'm sorry but I'm I'm trying to
hosannah Alexander's just going for it
this little salmon bait here has no tea
wrapped around it mmm I have an idea
here's what we're gonna do you look
through the book at the allergens and
see if there's anything that won't kill
you as Alexander and I just kind of all
right if this book is to believe this is
a snack called kaki no honey idiot sushi
flavor night that's it huh we definitely
had these when we went to Kyoto but that
was like a billion years ago long time
they're like little folded things of
mochi
and they have red bean paste and whatnot
inside of it
yeah japanese regional souvenir suite of
kyoto go again oh that's sweet no hmm
okay
these win me over same and made seven
okay handmade persimmon candy bus
fighting so these are what Jesse's
talking about right here the persimmon
candies I'm just gonna give you the bag
so we don't contaminate it and you can
just give them to us all right
oh my god very good those are good huh
how's yours yeah I'm glad that those
ones worked out for you oh okay
I'm actually kind of interested in
Oh phoo smoked crackers and peanuts
lemon and salt now we are you still
chewing the candy I guess that's mmm Oh
My I've never seen these in Japan I've
never had these in Japan oh my lord
without fear I'm doing a beer snack yeah
oh mylanta right fantastic
absolutely omeone hmm tell me some more
I feel like I'm you know how am I gonna
set this aside and save it for later
that looks really good
cakes in here too I don't really do dry
sweets so I don't feel like being
accurate accurate representative of the
flavor of the cake this one seems to be
much I'm gonna hand this off to
Alexander now he's a quick eater so I've
really gotta find this and fast he's
taking it in pieces okay so this one is
a much chocolate stick k kept in it's a
little exactly what it looks like it
looks like it much a chocolate stick
cake I'm on little ki loving that
there's something in this box suggests
you could enjoy okay the next one we're
gonna go with another kaki no tane and
this one's gonna be oh no no no I
there's shiso in this and I'm not I'm
not a huge fan of shiso so I'm just
gonna go ahead and give this to
Alexander people who loves Cinque so
absolutely love it
I'm not one of those people
all right okay who locks fo the lighting
keeps changing so I have to keep
adjusting we were just using beautiful
natural lighting right now
by the way we were passing a sofa
through this window this morning so
that's a thing
they have just normal Yatsuhashi as well
these ones are from not us so I'm gonna
open this what's killing me is it
there's like three of everything in here
so you wanna try yet so Hasina these
have soy in them
sorry wow those are really crunchy yeah
really good and that is like cinnamon
flavored you'll smell it yeah I like I
thought it tasted cinnamon oh oh that is
so nice it really is never really um I'm
actually kind of interested in this
music come ten jelly
this one's from Kyoto it's also kind of
a sweet snack yuzu if you don't know is
kind of like a it's a Japanese citrus it
has a very unique taste sometimes during
New Year's they put yuzu in the
bathwater like users shavings so you get
the yuzu smell in the bath which is
really nice I really use it right oh it
just keeps getting better and better the
next one's from Osaka and this is kugel
name was golden sweet potato cake it's
actually a mouthful to say sweet
potatoes are really popular food in
Japan especially around the fall you can
actually just walk into shops and
they'll have sweet potatoes baking on
top of stones anyway
I look here me too this one has a much
more gentle flavor yeah
our box is almost empty you know the
funniest part of this entire thing is
Japan is such a wide variety of snacks
that I wouldn't be able to name or know
all of them if I cry I remember the one
snack shop that you enter I was just
like haha this is too much sugar this is
called me echo Momiji
this is them right there no no this is a
very familiar taste this is something
that you'll definitely taste an
experience in Japan cinnamon and fresh
Yatsuhashi daifuku mochi really is like
one of the best things that Japan has
ever created mochi is like rice cake by
the way mm-hmm we have two Hoshi always
been one of my favorite snacks from
Kyoto so this this is a treat yeah mochi
is I think one of my favorite snacks
from Japan it says cannot go uzuki
crunch tena koe is also commonly eaten
with mochi and kina Co is like a like a
powder and to the untrained taste it
tastes a bit like peanut butter yeah
what do you taste the peanut butter is
it like a little bit more bitter than
peanut butter is it just like
reminiscent open no it's very soft it's
solving less aggressive roasted soybean
flour we had a lot of sweet I think it's
time to take a trip over to savoury town
with these go bowl no mama burdock root
chip it's Jimmy flavor so do you like
spicy stuff yeah good Jimmy is like
Japanese like seven spices so in case
you've never seen a bird up chip
that's nice
you're like it it's not it's not super
spicy but there's some kind of Tang in
there that I'm not a fan of glad I saved
the best for last
chocolate uzuki guess we're gonna give
him a shot okay and I've saved the best
for last this is a much of waffle
sandwich from Nara there we go
you can see the chocolate inside of it
oh I'm looking forward to it thank you
mmm I just I'm really glad I saved that
one for last I'm really glad I say that
one polite Oh mmm I feel absolutely
terrible for Jessie does Jessie really
hasn't what I don't know if you noticed
all the crinkling and crunching but he's
still going on these cut key or
persimmon snacks but actually Jessie I I
I have something for you
see I thought I thought this might be
the case so before leaving Japan for
Canada I picked up something literally
no clue where I put seriously does
anyone have any idea where I put that
this entire bag which just it just looks
like a white bag is filled and I mean
filled with snacks from Japan some of
which I think Jesse and eat
oh my god like this one right here um
but I think there's so much stuff in
this bag that we're gonna have to do
this a separate day it'll be a separate
day on YouTube but really be right now
for us yeah there we go okay so that
being said a huge thanks to my friends
