It's the first hot carbonated beverage in the world
and they only sell this in Japan.
Hey guys! It's Chika.
I am at the Yurakucho Station in Tokyo.
And as you can see, it's snowing!
Look at all this snow!
It is actually the first time in 13 years
that we've gotten this much snow.
We're supposed to be getting about 20 cm
in some parts of Tokyo.
So it's crazy.
It barely ever gets this cold here,
it barely ever snows like this.
But for some reasons,
Japanese people get really cold easily.
So we got words like "hiesho"
which describes someone having bad circulation.
So their fingers and, you know, toes are always cold.
We've also got a word called "samugari"
which describes someone
that's just really sensitive to the cold
and always shivering, and is like
"Oh, I'm always so cold."
So we've got words like that.
And so there's obviously lots of products
that come out during the winter time
to prevent people from being cold.
And I thought I would take this opportunity
to find this drink that I have been curious about.
And it's a hot ginger ale.
It's the first hot carbonated beverage in the world
and they only sell this in Japan.
Ginger drinks are very popular,
but it's the first time they actually came up with
a ginger ale that's hot.
They started selling this in October
and because it was supposed to be spring
I think they might have stopped selling it.
Let's go see if I can find it!
I found some vending machines.
No, no hot ginger ale.
We've got like hot coffees and hot teas.
There's the red beans stuff.
I'm sure you guys have seen it
in some YouTuber's videos.
I forgot my gloves today.
Look at all this snow!
It's a lot.
It's like as deep as my finger.
It's like a blizzard!
Jesus! Ah!
Don't you have it when this happens?
Look at my umbrella.
Oh my gosh.
I was going to stay home,
and enjoy the snow from the comfort of my house, but
I thought what kind of vloger would I be
if I didn't come out here and vlog about this.
It's too cold. So I'm going to take a break.
Okay, let's try and see if we can ge to the cafe.
Look at this bench!
It is completely covered in snow!
When you look at the side,
you can see just how much it's snowing!
I am sitting on a snow bench!
That's my butt print!
Chika sat here!
My butt is really cold now.
I have not played in snow for,
I don't even know!
It's so much fun!
I wish I brought my gloves,
but I am having a very good time.
And I'm glad I left my house!
It's so cold out, I had to get a drink. Look at this.
It's a raspberry chocolate latte.
You can see the espresso art.
I think it's a tulip.
Camera lenses are fogged up.
This is kind of romantic feel to it.
But this is not a filter.
I'm gonna drink this, do a little work,
and then I'm going to head out
and try and find that fizzy hot ginger ale.
Any ginger ale?
No. rows and rows of hot drinks,
but no ginger ale here.
We'll try another convenience store.
I look like Rudolph. So cold.
I want my damn hot ginger ale!
Alright, I found a seven eleven.
So let's check them out (and) see if,
Wow! Snow falling from the roofs.
Oh, there is a hot drink section.
Coffees, hot chocolate, teas, no ginger ale.
No ginger ale. Next we go.
I'm still on my hunt for the hot ginger ale
with my Rudolph like red nose.
I'm about to enter a small supermarket.
Let's see if they've got one here.
And this is the only selection of hot drinks they have,
so no luck here either.
Here is a Sankus.
No! Dang it!
This is my last stop.
And they don't have it.
So instead, I'm going to get
the next best thing.
I cound't find hot ginger ale,
But I found hot ginger water.
Mission failed.
