Spudgy's got kidney stones! Ah, this sucks
Wait, that's no what this video is about is it? What this video is about is us emotional eating. Yeah!
We're gonna be taking you for two different kinds of Japanese parfait. Classy parfaits and trashy parfaits
None of these oversized parfaits that you always see on like Instagram and whatnot
Most people don't usually eat those and oftentimes those parfaits suck. They suck! They suck!
They Suck! We're gonna show you some good stuff today come emotionally eat with us
This is Woodberry's. Now, it is actually an awesome little tiny natural yogurt shop. We first discovered this near Inokashira Park
It's the smallest!
Fits three human beings or one Simon, and they make you fresh yogurt with whatever toppings you want and we recently discovered that they also
Have this store here, which does epic parfaits.
The reason we want to show you this place is because they do a really good job of highlighting the
Seasonality of fruits here a lot of parfait sometimes have tons of toppings that just don't really go well together. Like cereal? Like cereal?
No, I'm sorry. Trashy parfaits will be like how much stuff can we dump on it? They put on pocky sticks?
They dump like cookies. They put like cereal this place is using real local fruit
They even have like entire baskets fruit baskets to show you like what's in season. So let's have some good fruit with out parfait.
It's a *healthy* parfait, if you will. Keep telling myself that. It IS a healthy parfait! It is!
It's real, fermented, nicely made yogurt. This is good for us! That's right, both body and soul.
And hip.
You know, a lot of people don't know that song.
You can't be making references to songs that are over a decade old now.
I always try to gauge how well this works based on Dan's reaction
as the cameraman behind there.
Is he smiling or is he frowning? I think
Dan has lied to his mom about his job.
Wow. Oh my gosh. Look at this. These are beautiful. Oh my gosh.
Holy smokes. And here's Dan's... corn one.
That's corn. Right there.
So I went for the traditional parfait, which is absolutely beautiful
Now what makes us different than most parfaits is it's actually made with yogurt instead of ice cream.
I'm just stunned with the presentation of this because. It's beautiful right?
It's not just a matter of how much stuff you could get in there.
But the layering-- they're taking all the seasonal fruit at the moment and then presenting it in tremendous ways. So this has a nectarine
It's got fresh grapes and pears, and it looks like I see a bit of a compote. They make a homemade
frozen yogurt here, and there's some surprises waiting for me underneath this.
While I have the fig special-- tons of figs everywhere and delicious yogurt
This is gonna be a lot better than I actually planned on this video being. You know what I like about this place as well?
They actually have a map up on the wall of Japan, talking about the seasonality of the fruit of what they use
So you may not be able to get this big parfait when you come here, and you may not be able to get this one,
but you'll be able to enjoy whatever seasonal fruit they have. Okay. How do I even start here?
I'm gonna try a bit of a nectarine first
Gonna eat some cream.
Don't know why as a kid
I never liked figs. I always thought figs were like old people fruits-
Cuz they look like alien creatures from another planet
Cuz they look all sad and wrinkled, like only sad wrinkly people can eat FIGS
NO when you cut them open and they're filled with like little tiny eggs
and you're like uUgh, and then you get older and you realize they're
Bombastic.
But now that I too am sad and wrinkly, I can eat a fig.
Oh my god, I went for the original yogurt. It's tart, it's not overly sweet, and they make it themselves
So it has like a really good old-school kind of feeling. Does that makes sense.. everybody? Mmm
This is just a really great seasonal fruit with the tart yogurt to cut the sweetness of the fruit.
A fruit salad with some nice yogurt to balance it out. Go ahead. Try some of mine. I'mma try some of yours.
Wow, the fig is so sweet. Are you ready for this raspberry compote? Okay, you're not even ready for this time. I'm not?
I'm starting to feel better about Spudgy having kidney stones. Yes
Somehow I'm starting to feel better about that. Spudgy's sitting at home going
Aw, this sucks. I want yogurt too.
But you can't. You're on special dietary food now.
Look at how huge these grapes are. Look at the size of these grapes.
Those
Delicious Japanese grapes! The skin of the grape tastes like what you think grapes should taste like, and then the inside tastes like grape candy
Have you ever noticed that delicious things tend to make you fat? Hmm. That's not really fair.
I feel kind of confused about this because this is just figs with some nice yogurt. Home made yogurt.
I think it should be healthy for me, shouldn't it? I think it might be good for us. I think it might be good for us!
Because we only got the plain yogurt, right? So there was no caramel, no chocolate, no sugar, no honey. No, nothing
Then they put on fresh nectarines, fresh grapes. This feels like something that I would eat for breakfast
I feel good after eating this. Look at us justifying. I know ....and now for the junkie stuff!
My god that is so good.
Parfaits are wildly popular all over Japan. You've got traditional parfaits. You've got once the Cheesecake in them, ice cream
You've got fruit. You've got brownies. There are a lot to choose from
And now for a more junky parfaits. We're at a very generic cafe
There are lots of them all over Japan. This one offers over 12 different parfait flavors. Yep. It's nothing gourmet.
It's just kind of something to satiate your parfait feelings and we're gonna ask you guys to pick a number between one to twelve
Tenth answer is gonna be my parfait. Twentieth is Simon's. All right. Okay. You ready ready?
Post. Okay, here we go. 1 1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8 9...
The next one is mine. Lucky number 7 for Martina! Ok you're number 7. I am...
and Simon is... 11 12
13 14 15 16
17 18 19...
Twenty. Number three. Alright, to the ordering mobile. Seven to three, let's do this
Warabi mochi.. choco strawberry
There it is in all its sexiness
Ughh! ...oh my. Um. L-look at that it um...
Oh my god it looks like- like a ghost!
AHHH
It's all.. dripping! and falling apart!
A-are those FROZEN?
leT iT GoOoo
How much did this cost per person?
So the other one that we had was one thousand four hundred yen per person. This one was three hundred ninety
So we're looking at four bucks versus like 14 bucks. This is very different. You could see your fruit is frozen
leT iT G- *smack*
Rather than fresh. This is ice cream and lots of corn flakes
Let's give it a taste. I mean, the ice cream in Japan is always great. Like look at how thick that is
ohh sh-
When did they clean this counter last, I don't know.
I'll be honest. This is some bombastic icecream.
Mean, it's super creamy. It's still wonderful. Wow. It's really good. It's a really nice sweet ice cream. Yeah have some of your
frozen
have some of your
FROZEN
-- berries in there. How am I supposed to
get into this, do you think? In North America. We're suckers. We usually eat our cereal with milk. Not here
Eat your cereal with ice cream like a true winner
The frozen strawberries are extremely tart which makes me believe that they're not Japanese strawberries because I've never had a tart Japanese strawberry
These are some kind of frosted corn flakes which add a nice texture. This is great because if it's just ice cream by itself
It can become too soft and too mushy. Like my figs with my yogurt, it was very soft
Here having a good different texture is great
We're being super critical of this junkie one, but it still tastes pretty darn g ood.
Look. We're pretending as if this is the first time we tried this. We've had it many times
We've had these parfaits many times before all right.
We will not have any errors in this video. This stuff is still great. It's not as good as the other one
That doesn't mean that we don't love this still
Are you crushing my cereal? Trying to get the ice cream to seep down. That's a good point. Let's crush our cereal
This is also the kind of thing I always see high school kids sharing.
They'll have like one parfait and like four of them all eating it together.
I think it probably has a really good... like a warm memory
Like when you were younger, what did you eat? Did you ever share like a Tim Horton's donut? I've done that
I've shared a doughnut with my friend before.
There's a lot of syrup down there. Yuuup. Thanks for warning me.
Well, way to wrap up this video in this way Simon.
And then he spat ice cream all over his body
I'm embarrassed now. Get the man a napkin
When you come to Japan
Whether you want a classy parfait or a junky parfait?
You're gonna have a great time. And there's definitely between as well, so you can have an in between one.
We're gonna leave links in the infobox to the awesome yogurt shop that we went to and we'll have a blog post about it too because it's really great
I recommend coming out to enjoy it. Don't get the corn topping unless you're feeling excited. Come to Japan try different parfaits
All different kinds you're gonna have a great time.
I forget how to make videos. Don't be embarrassed
We've been having a hard time guys. Spudgy has kidney stones, and he's been peeing everywhere wildly
and he has a diaper, and he's in pain, and he cries all night
and it's like having a new born baby. And I'm like, "Sweet Boy, what can I do to make you feel better?"
And I just pet him and hug him - and it's like 4:00 a.m
And I'm really tired and I'm sick and I herniated a disk in my nec k so... we're gonna sign out from there.
Well, we're not through with you yet, oh nooo. Would you like to try a new limited edition, special
BUN? it is some kind of a curry bun but I'm not gonna tell you what it is
But come with me! Click on MY video and enjoy the benefits of a delicious bun!
You could do that or I could show you a little bit of my new tattoo and explain what that's about
Are you ready for another tear-jerking story? Neither am I. *sniff* Damn that smells good
Oh

Click on my video. Come with me. Let me show you some new tattoos I got. Come with me
I'm always gonna sing the puff daddy song come with me Bam Bam Bam
That's a terrible song. It isn't it's a great video
He turns into an angel and flies into the sky and then Godzilla kicks him and he lands in white
