when like it's not mud city season
festival season matsuri means festival
wow
thank you emma let's go yeah let's go
fun fact there's a big festival held
here every year well not recently
because of uh the world situation but uh
it's called sanja matsuri and this place
is packed with people and they actually
get this lantern and lift it all the way
up yeah yeah this is like collapsible
really i've never seen it taken down
yeah right well it's still there but
it's just like pushed up against the
ceiling and then they bring like the
mikoshi like through here oh wow yeah
wait what season is that summer summer
but it's hot and it's crazy and like
people have actually passed away during
the festival because it's so intense
yeah wow i've been to it once and i was
like this is insane and it's what are
you just like a tourist like i'm a
tourist i was like were you carrying it
no
oh what's this

i've never had uh kitty danko let's get
some i only know about it because of a
song because pizza
here
you know you know that's my life
[Applause]
i'm so excited and there's a little
bunny on it it's so cute
so there's something i want to mention
about like eating in japan especially in
asakusa you may have heard this fact
about japan you can't eat while walking
and that's super like i feel like real
here really enforced and it's like so
yeah every store that you get something
out you have to eat it at the store
otherwise they get very upset spaghetti
so it's got kinako i think yeah yeah
kinako powder and it is millet dumplings
are you going to put the whole thing in
your mouth i wasn't thinking of doing
that was that your plan what was my plan
okay let's just go itadakimasu
that's so fresh
chewy
and they're so like light
really easy to eat
oh man
i didn't realize they were going to be
warm so they made them right there fresh
for us so we're really lucky alex you
got to try one of these we got to feed
the cameraman here you go
how's that dango
it's that dango is dang good damn
right
high five i'm actually really looking
forward to our next food i hope it's
next
i want to take you to the melon pond
place right now but there's a line over
there there's a lot of marketplaces
we're going past i don't know can we
wait it's toriyaki but they put random
things in it wait a potato butter
i feel like we have to get it and look
at they even have some cool drinks like
some blue butter oh this is really poppy
in japan right now butterfly pea tea you
see it everywhere like the conbini has a
little bottle so maybe we can try a
little beverage as well sorry i'm just
overwhelmed i've never even thought of
having any of this but butter and potato
in a dorayaki i'm losing my mind she's
losing her mind i want to try the imo
butter dorayaki oh you need to do credit
card and everything this is great okay
so there's imobata which i want to get
there's also a lemon cream cheese
dorayaki and then there's a red bean and
i can't read the kanji something moon
and then ah a matcha oh my ice cream oh
i want to go this guy
i would like the
fly pea
soda or soda not the calpers butterflies
we just did a scratchy and we won some
tissues so today is full of surprises
i hope you don't get a runny nose
because that wouldn't be great no but if
you do we got you covered fun fact the
word for potato in japanese is uh emo so
if you liked my chemical romance back in
2008 this is for you baby we got our
little treats uh by the way a dorayaki
is usually this kind of pancake with red
bean inside uh so that's why this is
interesting they've got a bunch of
different options of
interiors
fillings fillings yeah
this is not a house
this one does have red bean in it with
matcha
[Applause]
sweet potato
whenever i eat dorayaki it reminds me of
that
and i don't know why does he after you
or maybe does he i mean it wouldn't be
weird if he does because he's shaped
like a dodayaki his face
aren't all of our faces shaped look at
maybe you should try your drink
the butterfly butterfly butterfly
butterfly
okay let me mix this up
the color is beautiful i just feel like
just for the aesthetically pleasing
vibes i would go for this drink but no
um the flavor i don't know how to
describe it sorry that's not great for
anyone that's not good i would drink it
though can you describe this
lemony
because
the lemon juice makes it change color so
i think butterfly tea doesn't taste like
too much
uh but then they add the lemon juice and
changes colors so i think that that adds
flavor i like the meat in it the
mandarin really gives it that citrusy
flavor i'm gonna keep eating this but i
gotta keep my stomach ready for that
melon bun yeah i don't know if we're
gonna make it dude i mean there's so
many shops
no bug touches my lady let's go to the
next place more
more so i feel like there's a lot of
sweet stuff happening i need to get the
savory eat the salty salt but we go get
melonpan then that's i'm ready to wait i
will sacrifice not sacrifice but put a
bit of time because character
development thank you same day time
sunbae time or
time or anything time it's something
salty something savory they have the
strawberries are they other candies
yes are they yeah
little candies yeah they're like hot
candy
i i really love the hot candy
strawberries oh but i'm so full of sweet
stuff
maybe we come back to it should we come
back we just need something salty okay
we're on a mission i really love those
i've never tried them before so they're
really good yeah oh shoot look that's i
get manju yeah i'll get it's like a
manju is like mochi with a filling but
agai means to deep fried frying it they
have some savory options which is really
rare i've never seen that so they have
like uh
curry flavor and monger mongia monjayaki
is like
tokyo's version of like
but it's not really it's really
difficult it's hard to describe but it's
a lot of liquid on a
squishy
and you get this little like shovel
thing and you just eat it
we're not selling it but i'm gonna get
it in argentina i think i'm going to go
with the classic one we got them
mine smell yours yeah mine smells like
uh seaweed yeah wow it's beautiful it's
the laundry right this is the manjar
freshly make them whenever you order
them so this is this is some hot stuff
monster time manju time that's really
good also i messed up before i think i
called the mochi i was very incorrect i
don't know why i said mochi there was
steamed bun they're like the chewy bun
kind of thing
i like the coating around it yeah really
crispy yeah yeah yeah i think this is my
first time having an again lunges so
many flavors going on
this is just red vein but still great
i also love where we're standing this is
at the end of the uh asakusa kind of
like strip like the street and then
there's the what's that main temple
towards that sanctuary yeah
so yeah it's a really nice view
and these are only about 130 yen so one
one two three

everywhere oh gosh this is so so good
the pigeons know what's up they're like

the crispiness of the outside the fact
that it's freshly fried you can get
curry bread a lot of places but usually

it's pretty it's cold you know this is
this is hot i want to i want to get my
melon bun let's get you your melon it's
time
let's get it i'm so excited
so i got distracted again but i love soy
sauce dango

think it's really it's gonna be dairy
but i'm going to ask oh so they have a
lot of different flavors they also have
coffee uh and i really love dango so i
don't i don't know there's too much it's
just a cool sign like it's in the shape
of a dango like
that's really cute that's cute i'm gonna
add dango danga we haven't been able to
eat it yet because you know we're
shooting and sarah's been so craving to
stop that she's just licking it like
like a lollipop
it's really hard to talk because it's so
chewy so chewy but excellent this is one
of my favorite japanese snacks
[Music]
they're both excellent but i'm more of a
savory person i'm a kibby dungal kind of
girl
it's time to feed the camera yeah
thank you
good so much
oh emma
you have beverage i sure do let me pop
it open on the street what have you got
tell everyone i got a ramune a classic
japanese
drink which is a soda but with a very
particular flavor
and in the fun popping of
marble in the top and you gotta pop it
you guys done it before i used to do it
in australia and they'd have it in a
restaurant but it's always so messy and
just like a struggle especially if
you're not putting it down on the table
and you just have to
do it i'm doing it on in the street near
the gutter
you're ready oh this is a beautiful side
are we good to go
oh
it didn't even overflow cheers everybody
dink
oh my god that's so good ramen has like
a flavor that's not in a lot of any
western sodas and i can't describe it
it's just like a different flavor of
soda tastes more
blue
so uh the melon bread place is closed
and sarah's not not doing well sarah
you okay
no
she's not okay folks she's still trying
to find one but i think they're all
closed and everything closes really
early so
let's catch up to her
[Music]
oh
i came here for the prawns she did
[Music]
it's okay
just taking it in
you know i went to bed last night
thinking about the bridge oh no
is there anything else you want it's
okay i have you and alex okay
we've come to a shop called saika in
asakusa and uh you know everything's
kind of closing down outside so we
thought we'd just come in and have a
nice final meal together and although it
looks a little bit cold we've just come
out of summer so kakigori is still on
the menu so uh we got some big old ice
mountains yes and i i wanted to get it
because even though it's a little bit
chilly today i want to pull off this one
last one
yeah let's dig in this is mango if this
is
is literally like falling off but uh i
guess it's an avalanche italians
probably a 9.5 wow that's high
i'm so full i would normally rate it
higher on a summer's day
okay
you're okay pickle is kind of like um
what's that powder that people do that
game with
and the cinnamon cinnamon cinnamon
challenge but um okay here's my white
texture of the ice is really nice
because sometimes
you know it could be a little chunky but
this is very soft very nice very funny i
also want to mention that i've been
a month ago during the peak of summer
and this place was like popping there
was so many people in the line
uh it probably would have been like an
hour plus wait the time i would happen
to walk past so today we just walked in
and the place is off easy
lucky
so i usually get sensai when i go to
japanese dessert shops like that
but today
i thought i was feeling a little
unhealthy i need some fruits so i went
for anitsu which has a lot of fruits as
you can see there's pineapple oranges
peach and a cherry and a lot of jelly
look it's so healthy
oh sarah's gripping me so tightly
because we are cold after eating just
ice i guess that's why it is a summer
treat we cracked the code everybody it's
summer treat because it's made of ice
