by the way only five minutes to the park
let's go
we've come to inokashira park and we're
ready to ride some boats so yes you're
telling us there's three different types
yeah the one it's a raw boat
looking one and a cool looking one i
want this one i'm getting this one right
it's kind of romantic maybe i'll fall in

i'm gonna fall in love with the camera
alex oh everyone's favorite
yeah let's go
[Music]
i like his
and come back as eyelashes we'll try
so guess what we got
the special swan can you guys tell the
difference there's no eyelash this is
the one only one special thing there so
this is the beginning of our
end of our end
it's a very interesting story you can
actually these boats in you know
national park and it's basically that
it's like a breakup spot
like i don't know why but i was told
this years ago that if you want to break
up with your girlfriend you take them to
this park i think this is like a private
quiet area imagine taking them out on
this boat because it's so fast so
romantic like horrible
like dump me in another way don't bring
me on a boat unless you're dumping my
body in the river dump me in a starbucks
okay so picture it it's cherry blossom
season oh this place is famous for its
cherry blossoms 500 cherry blossom trees
full bloom pedals everywhere and i look
at you and you look at me and we're like
it's not working out
i would honestly throw you in the water
maybe that's why there's a train like
get out this chain is not enough like
it's a big hole don't break up with the
world guys this is not well
tell us down below would you bring your
significant other and dump them in here
i hear shorty and people are they
finally on the river
so we got a very very manly face swan
so we can win we got the angry one
power one
they're coming look at them
[Music]
by the way our swan boat's cooler you
know why no you're the boy
yeah we don't have eyelash oh we're
gonna race then we're gonna raise him
come on we can do it
[Music]
uh
i don't think it's gonna survive no it's
rocky it's rocky so other than riding
the boats there's a bunch of stuff you
can do at this park they have a shrine
right here on our right they also have a
zoo and aquarium so lots to check out
here and a bunch of restaurants as well
i feel like kind of a place you can come
any time of year like soccer season is
good automotively good winter's good as
well if you like that cool breeze so
we've come to amanet
which is in harmonica alley right near
the station and we're going to get a bit
of you know energy snacks and so uh
taiyaki if you don't know is a
traditional japanese snack and it's
usually filled with red veins there's
three dumbbells which one should i get
one is the mitarasi the sweet
sweet soy sauce flavor
salty ones check this out so here we
have like the shape of the taiyaki um
and that's how they kind of like they
put it on this grill and they put like
the batter in and then they put the
fillings in and they kind of squeeze it
down and then cooks and then it comes
out and it's in this beautiful shape i
feel like it's also really really like
reasonably priced it's only 183 yen or
210 if you get the custard so about two
dollars so we got our snacks
it's fresh it's hot this shop has been
around for over 10 years it's super
popular with the locals uh there's a bit
of a lime forming now lucky we came and
we did half of time did yeah but my uh
tango it's so soft it looks soft yeah
what's next
well i think we all need to kind of
change our style a bit fit into the
kitchen georgina i think so let's go
make a t-shirt so we've come out here
we're now in uniqlo in kitijoji the
special type of uniqlo it's been
designed in a way to fit the uh kitty
joji's
not just come in for casual shopping
obviously we've come in for very special
reason this unicorn has a design your
own
t-shirt
[Music]
so
yeah so many variations you can
make your own t-shirts
or
foodies
or
total bikes so we've sat down here on
the sofa and we're going to start
designing using these ipads we've each
got our own and if you go to the home
menu there's four different ways you can
design it so you can either use a
picture which is what shiori is doing or
you can use text which jordan and i are
doing there's also painting so you can
just paint literally a picture of like
an umbrella or whatever or you can use
stamps and like the stamps are really
cute because they have like these little
characters like they've got collabs with
unicorn like sanrio characters
this girl has her laptop pulled out
and she has photoshop
i can do very well for this because i
used to work with publishing but it
turns out whenever you want to make the
photo
original
t-shirt you need to be careful because
you need to get the permission from the
each person in the
picture and also the background you
cannot have like a logos even cars or
the locations can tell like for example
oh this is the shibuya crossing you
cannot do that your pictures
can be printed it's quite limited i feel
lucky i have this goal i'm
not sure whether or not to put my thing
in the corner on the side now or
in the middle yeah i'm doubling up like
this
i tried to shake it so i'm just checking
the size
and i'm thinking elle i like my shirts
roomy
i feel like i want a prize
[Music]
it looks sick i'm going to add
our idol unit name nature we love and
yahoo
so i got the
uh t-shirt for kanako so she's saying
i'm kanako 29 years old
there's so many uniqlos in japan but
only like four branches in tokyo you can
make your original t-shirt so please
come to kitijoji and make something
special like this but anyway let's go to
the next book
where are we going next
it's yakitori time
we're going to attend
so we're just ordering our drinks i'm
going to get something like a dark beer
i'll take it
so this place is famous for its yakitori
so i think we should sample a fair few
i really like momo which is the five you
have to try
it
[Music]
that's very good that's a good old beer
right there i know why you're a beer
lover so we just ordered the next
location we are going to do the hachiko
so we are going to do the baahuba
is the perfect place for hopping right
it is i do it a lot it's very fun the
day time is it's chilled cafes it's
walks in the park it's relaxing it's
hanging out night time hits
it's making friends in bars a little bit
of bar hopping so we've got our first
dish here
um
it's hard it's very hot i'm gonna try
so the secret to hacking any is a
calories you get the nikki and you
sprinkle it with the spices
healthfully dusted with this spicy spicy
pepper sauce then uh
give it a go and that is so good i'm
gonna try schoonette because goodnight
is life i think the best thing about
yakitori is it's really affordable
you can spend a lot but you can kind of
like get one thing at a time and it's
only a dollar fifty a hundred dm per
stick so you can try a variety
[Music]
we've come to a store of 48 different
styles of karaoke so of course we're
going to start with the normal karage
the futsu then we're going to hit up the
niku then of course we have to get the
this one salty mayonnaise
i like wasabi
i think this would be really really good
then of course
the one that i definitely do not want to
try
never never
which is like sticky i am excited i love
natto i i don't like okura i don't like
natto like this is well maybe you should
try one and your life will be changed
for the better no
yeah
[Music]
surprisingly daikon works well with high
ball this is very good but again it is
yuzu and everything you use it was
delicious
oh my god your face it was like
it's not fitting
it's for looking it's meant to be eating
the karaoke have arrived we ordered five
different types of carage however in
this store there are 48 different types
of karage and also a variety of weird
sours to choose from if you also want to
try these krages and sours come to the
store it's called
[Music]
it's sweet juicy
it's really easy to eat i feel like
every store has a different spice mix
mm-hmm
when they make their karage this is very
different i've not had a cargo similar
to this it's like um an interesting base
for different flavors which is why they
have all the different sort of flavors
they put on it time for the moment of
truth
that's good
it tastes a lot like natalie i don't
trust her words should we do we should
get this okay we should put it
over here oh my god
oh oh it's doing the sticky thing
go jordan go jordan
it's all by itself fantastic beautiful
karage why would i ruin this of naphthal
so i think we have one favorite here and
jordan and i are thinking the same thing
are we i believe so i believe so of
course we're right here
was out of this world i think it was
just that balance of flavors like it was
yes the sour the sweet the salty and i'm
going to eat now
give me your ah chef kiss compliments to
the chef
it's so soft
as i mentioned before there are 48
different types of karage in the store
of course if you eat all of them get
your photo on the wall now of course you
don't have to come here and devour all
40 different types of karaoke in one
sitting a little stamp card and every
flavor you devour get a little stump on
the card once you've eaten the 48 photo
tape gets on the wall maybe there's a
prize who knows it's a challenge i'm
definitely up for so we're gonna end
things here for today eat a bit more
karage then go home but thanks so much
