Good morning guys from Tokyo.
I'm just about to film a house tour at this really cool Airbnb
I'm staying at it
It looks like a giant egg
and I will see you guys right after that.
With Sharla guys
We just did a little photo shoot for main video
the makeup artist gave us these chocolates apparently
Help you burn fat as you eat them
It like blocks your body from absorbing fat
But I'm looking at ingredients
And I didn't see anything execpt from fiber
Oh?
Yeah it says just ingredient dextrin
Includes fiber which helps it block fat
But like you can't eat chocolate to lose weight
It seems kinda productive
It's so rediculous
Fiber, that means you shit right?
For the time before you absorb it maybe
Straight in straight out
I don't know
Libera
So take it to zen's, what
We're on the way back to my Airbnb
I'm gonna show Sharla the egg the spaceship
Wow the stairs are kinda like sketchy
Like I feel like kinda sinking into them
That's why preferred slippers they hurt a bit
It don't feel sturdy
What is this house
This is so stupid
Why is there a toliet there
What
What's going on
Cute though, I see that there
Why the fuck is that for
right by the fridge
That's new yeah
Is all gocha
That's smart, they have a company for it
Oh etude see, a etude house, stylenanda
Lot of Korean brands now
Figuratively use
when you need to pour soup down or something
because you don't want to pour it down the drain
Yeah, I think it's useful that purpose
It's like our compost
That's makes sense
nice and smooth
Perfect
All right, we just did a little bit of cooking for Sharla's channel
and now we're going to take off our makeup and do
I need to focus here
Focus
And do a face mask from lush
We just filmed the live on Sharla's patreon channel
and now we're going for an oden run
Oden is probably the ugliest Japanese food out of all food
but it's one of the tastiest
It's it's definitely my favorite.
It's super comfort comforting
you can dip it in different sauces.
It's so delicious and
That just exactly what I want right now.
It's raining. It's cold
And I need some
And that's all my plan for today
I'm gonna eat oden
and stay inside in the warmth and edit
This is a radish
This is
a formed... is this like a formed shirataki or is it called something else
Konnyaku konnyaku
this is shirataki
but it's kind of made of the same thing right similar
noodles
They're like a fibrous plant
so they're super high in fiber, but super low in calories and
zero calorie yeah zero
they're really delicious. I got some tofu
I broke it though. I had a really I didn't really put it... it's all pieces
an egg
and a deep-fried burdock root
Oh cool, I never got that one
That's good
so what you want to do this is the proper way to eat oden
so after you've chosen your things
You can add as much soup as you want
Some people like to drink it some people don't
I actually like to like break everything up and eat it like a soup
So that's not really the way everyone eats it
But they also have different sauces on the side that you can choose from
I personally like the mustard
the mustard in Japan is a little bit like a mix between wasabi and mustard like it's quite spicy
Compared to the Western mustard
and then they have this little ledge right here
Japanese packaging is always so convenient
I know
Always so thoughtful
so they have a little ledge for your spices. I like the mustard and I like this
It's like a mixture of spices.
Is it called ten spice or five? I don't know which one that is
seven, this is seven right seven spice
sesame seeds and spices
and then you can just dip what you want in there and eat it
We just ordered Starbucks for breakfast and look at the packaging details
In this little bag
all rolled up with a cute drawing
this really nice clip like I'm gonna keep this
And then inside you have your milk and sugar and stir sticks
they are the same as yesterday how no matter what you do
What you eat what you buy
It will always be perfect and really good quality
You will always get your money's worth and it's so amazing
Just knowing that if you're gonna spend the money,
you're gonna get where you want
It's gonna be good
very rare places that have that
sometimes when you're you're getting a service
You don't know like if it's going to be good or not.
it's hit or miss but here it's always good
We're currently at the biggest Starbucks in the world right now
So in the past three years actually pretty much since we've left Japan
we left almost three years ago
Starbucks is quietly been working on this project
here in nakameguro is actually the area we used to live in
and it is massive
there's four differentiated floors selling merchandise
there's a bakery there is all different kinds of foods
There's a bar
There's a lounge its outdoor seating indoor seating.
You can see the manufacturing process of packaging there beans
It's just such a cool experience
It's been compared to Disneyland for coffee
and it definitely holds up to that reputation. It is crazy in here
There's all these little details around to those bonsai trees.
There's these coppers sakura
Elegantly staying lean from the ceiling and that sort of represents the area that it's in
because just below it is nakameguro river
where you can see all the beautiful sakura
it's one of the most beautiful places to view the sakura during the season
So it kind of pays homage to that
right now I'm seated outside
The sun is just going down and we're taking in this amazing view with some great coffee
It's called Barrel Cold Brew
Berrel Cold Brew is it fermented or something
I don't know
Oh my god, it's sweet. What the...
The weather is so nice tonight.
It was 18 degrees today
so that's why we don't have jackets on
but we're gonna walk.. walk around the river and
Check out some shops along the way
and we're heading to nakameguro station where they have amazing oden
Tokyo has the cutest pads
all my mascara
Sold out everywhere in Hong Kong
And they got no more forever
They are so cute they have the little bags and the packages
Oh yeah
It's like one serving bag
Yes, then you can get a whole bunch of different ones
that's such a cute thing to bring back for friends
And if you buy coffee you can get a free coffee ice cream
We're sat right at the counter
they have these little blankets for you because outside is right there
and I have an English menu
Wow look at this
I just uploaded my weekly vlog
and now
We bought we went to the bookstore in nakameguro
we got some magazines
These are Tom's choices
I got this one for the first time
it's called tank and it looks so cool and I love the little stickers here
and I got
spur which is a Japanese fashion magazine and I got
Japan Vogue
So I'm gonna go run myself a hot bath
get in there and start reading these and call it a night
So I'll see you guys tomorrow
No one wants to walk up the stairs, so we just stay here all day
It's really starting to feel like we're in a dungeon or well
like the only source of sunlight is coming from that window
And we're just like staying down here
because we're too lazy to go up the stairs
we've just been working
Order uber?
no we need to leave home
oh my god, the views are so nice too
You can light up the lights here
Oh look how nice this is
the couch is so nice I can just sitting... Wow
Oh my gosh
Look
oh my goodness
There's tons babe
I bet they even have good record shops nearby
We have just moved Airbnbs we are now staying in Shimokitazawa
Which is an area that I love
full of great cafes boutique shops vintage shops restaurants
I love this area so much, but look at this Airbnb
Click and grind your coffee
And then do a hand brew
that is my style
Yeah, it's really your style look at these lights
supercool the ceilings are all unfinished
Oh they have art book
It's so nice
microwave little fridge
This is so nice
shower, I guess this is the toilet
This is like a hotel but betters because you have more space
and you can cook
the polaroid
UNO
So cute
My grandma always soaks her bread when toasting
and that's the secret to make it tasting really fresh
like just for 2 seconds under the water
And so Tom found this it's a ceramic toast steam
So you add water to it and it steams inside your toaster
So bread becomes really fresh tasting.
It's like you just baked it
that's so cool
