in this video I'm going to show you guys
my top 10 street food in asakusa so
right now we're in Essex and right
behind me is coming a team on and beyond
that is not camisa which has lots of
street food thing is I've already done a
video here of my top 10 things to do
which I'll leave a link in the
description below so we're not gonna
cover anything and nakamise it today but
we're gonna go to the back streets and
it's another hot day in Tokyo we just
had a typhoon a few days ago and it's
starting to get really really hot again
I don't know what you guys are gonna do
when you come here for the Olympics but
everyone stay hydrated and bring a towel
like me if you guys like my sushi girl
shirts then definitely I'll leave a link
in description below and check it out
alright let's go do this and let me show
you guys the back streets of a success
oh and it's so nice because I came here
so early in the morning and there's no
one here well there's not a lot of
people here but it's just so much better
than when there's so many people here
and guess what guys
Michael's helping me out today so Nootka
me say is as touristy as you can get a
nostalgic street filled with lots of
souvenirs street food and people but I
wanted to do something a little
different in this one and take you to
some less travelled but amazing food
shops which are hidden in the back
streets of a Saxa
all right let's get our food on number
ten yakitori from yasubei so if you guys
are looking for a little yakitori spot
that's kind of out of the way then this
is your place it's so out of the way
there's not a lot of tourists here and
all you'll find is locals and the
yakitori is a pretty inexpensive miss
taffy are super friendly and even though
they might not speak in perfect English
you'll get along just fine I can smell
this Jackie do you think I can actually
smell the smoke coming from the shop
these are they give you an option of a
salt or soy sauce but I got like a
garlic a soy sauce and it smells so good
think you have some Cassetti which is
the neck meat I believe this is bone GD
liver
perhaps he maybe this justice energy mo
I'm gonna try this SAT because that's my
favorite
so I'm actually more of a fan of like
putting this red pepper on it
it's called shichimi have a bite nothing
pretty good Jackie Dodie I really like
the sauce you can taste the garlic bits
the bisetti in itself is that kind of
like a fatty piece of a chicken and it's
cuz it's like the neck part so a lot of
the juices like kind of hold really well
this one is like a little like batter as
you can see mm-hmm mommy is intense in
this arm so when you have a bite it's
still like a little tender and then you
get like a little chewy texture nice
girl that gets milk
[Music]
that is good it's nothing beauty we
don't really um taste so much for the
charcoal which is actually really good
but a lot of x30 place has like a really
strong charcoal smell
since we're doing a street food today
you're like standing up here and getting
to show me a cookie but you can actually
go inside that should have like a little
plate like Carnegie veggie dishes for
like two three hundred which is really
really reasonable thing look how big
this only Kitty is it's as big as my
head number nine think it's much a
gelato from Suzuki in Suzuki and is an
old-school much a store and they've done
a collaboration with Nana Yao and they
make the biggest green tea gelato in
this world at least that's what they say
but don't worry they also have level one
which is actually one of my favorites
let's go inside and check it out a green
tea branch zucchini and has been in the
game since 1848 and cola partner Nana is
a matcha sweet factory in she's oka to
create the thickest matcha gelato they
use a premium green tea from North
Shizuka because using low-grade green
tea creates a taste too bitter and
strong
all right guys check it out we have two
different flavors just so you have
number one which is like not wrong and
this is supposed to be the strongest one
which is like level seven all right so
we're gonna start with the lightest
version it looks so good
[Music]
they can taste some matcha flavor it's
actually not as strong as just do
regular matcha it's not so strong it's
really light and you know I don't really
like strong matcha flavors for me this
is kind of like what I prefer as opposed
to happening something really really
strong and I can't be there much of but
let's check out the strong number seven
look at the crazy texture and then it's
like they just pack as much much and as
they can't in this little gelato look
how green that is amazing that is a much
a shot super strong and bitter
[Music]
you know like the venue drink the 20 and
it's like the very last drip of tea the
big Peter Peter Peter
trip it's like this Oh God premium
version of that but I would definitely
just try this one
like when I order the cup like you or
initially think that is this is like
some sort of pottery but it's actually
plastic and then look around at all of
these shops they're all clothes and it's
crazy because I didn't realize it's
Tuesday and on Tuesday this shoten guy
is all closed well like not everything
is closed but most of the stores just
like look look at that it's all closed
behind me I really hope the place we're
going through is open right now and it's
open
number eight fruit parfait from fruit
parlor godo despite the modern interior
of the shop it's been in business since
1946 it started as a fruit store and the
later became a fruit parlor in the 60s
you can still purchase fruits here if
you want but the main attraction is a
perfectly designed parfaits that are
more than instagram-worthy
check it out I got the strawberry
parfait and it even comes with a
raspberry on top you can see the
strawberries right
they're ice cream and then it has a
strawberry ice cream and then you have
whipped cream on top with fresh
strawberries strawberries itself they're
from Yamagata brand is called summer
tiara
with a little bit of whipped cream so
the strawberry itself is really nice
because it's sweet but it also has like
this nice tardy appeal wakes up your
mouth like right here it's really just
like a sweet like the other thing but
there's like a hint of tartness let's
dig into this
[Music]
I just love how fresh the fruit is and
it goes so well with the strawberry and
vanilla ice cream oh there's like the
strawberry sauce there's jelly on the
bottom you see it's not just reach like
a perfect sweetness it's like a sauce
that Massa strawberry and like the
minuses meekness a little bit but only
like has strawberries good taste or
flavor inside oh yeah what is that
Michael looks like a hotel number seven
dango from Momotaro Momotaro is an uncie
mean dango shop that most hers pass by
but they're simple but refine menu
speaks for itself
[Music]
I know what you want Superman
sure you ask are we sending Santa yeah
look at that I got ya key down go this
shop has actually been around since 1871
there's actually a picture of the shop
from 1871 right at the front display and
you feel like you're having like a bite
of history right now what's really
popular just keep it down go and you've
probably seen it in my other socks a
video but I wanted to show you guys
something a little bit different
something savory instead of sweet you
can smell that it's been grilled you can
definitely taste like the barbecue
grilled flavor it's actually still
really really chewy but the texture
itself is very much alike it's very like
sticky like I feel like I'm just like
it's all grabbing to the inside of my
mouth so it's actually a lot more salty
than I was anticipating
I like a sweeter mochi that just like
really really melts and they do have a
lot of like sweeter stuff here so
definitely worth trying that but if you
want to try something different with
then try the Academical oh it smells so
good it's like if you guys know what
meat that uh she done Lewis it's gonna
like the similar smell but like it's
like a little try your version right
like mass
oh cool bocce oh hey yeah if you really
like salty
Sango this is definitely it's kind of
like a chewer version of like show you
press record number six cut up from you
Cuddy oh yeah you Cuddy is my fried
chicken spot in the socks up it's juicy
it's savory and you can't get it
anywhere else well maybe it's somewhere
else but it's just as so good and I
wanted to share with you guys and they
just introduced a spicy karaage and it's
super spicy and delicious look I got
some hide shake it I just love fried
chicken
sorry I know some of you guys are vegan
or don't really like fried chicken but I
have to share my top ten and I love
fried chicken so this is the juicy Momo
look I can just like feel the crunch
I'm so delicious the meat juices right
in there look at how good that looks
pan is just so buttery soft but still
the outer shell is so super crunchy and
then look at that you can see like the
red chili bits in there a lot better
than normal and you can see the salt
crystals that are on it too
ready for this
it has a nice kick to it I love it it's
like someone just turned up the level
like turn up the volume and just
Atlantis party and Paulo has a mouth
this has so much flavor the chili pepper
is just like kick in and look I'm sorry
this wet maybe that's just because it's
hot outside but definitely if you're
looking for some spicy fried chicken
this is a spot sorry it's so good I'm
just got a second one
number five onigiri from yeah dodoka
when you go inside it looks so old
school and I just love it and the owner
is super friendly and helpful and what's
nice about the shop is they actually
have seating inside let's enjoy some
funny kitty in the air-conditioning did
you know the oldest onigiri shop in
Tokyo was hidden
just behind Sensoji their onigiri are
made with selected rice from across
Japan best suited for each season
wrapped with Edo my serie famous for its
rich flavor Wow look how fresh that
looks he could smell the naughty look
how nicely it's been presented oh my god
oh and the rice is still warm
you can like reveal it I'm like how like
that when he get is it's like been
naughty is still like stinging on just I
could not wrap them fully and you could
even see inside look the salmon roe
[Music]
hmm myself fluffy it's like eating a
heaven right now it's like one of the
freshest on you kiddies I've ever had
you can still see the juice is right
there the rice is good and I just love
how it's been marinated this so nicely
and Sun brings out all of the flavors
it's all good
oh and my co got her shiso pickles damn
I still can't get it right and just
around the corner from yo Roku you'll
find this cute little pile shop number
410 entire key from shut up dude they
got here before we did tenant needs
natural yeah you might be thinking what
the hell does that mean
actually it's just the way Japanese
called this type of taiyaki made with an
individual cast iron press learn most
places these days use large iron
griddles it requires a skilled artisan
great tenant ioki but the results are a
crispy and addictive Japanese knack for
the winner for their own odor they
secrete Adame check out that taiyaki
there's so many different tie a key
places in a sixer but this place has a
crispiest ones if you ever had a waffle
cone it smells like that look
[Music]
last birth and the outer shell is really
crispy the beans are still like pretty
whole which is nice actually prefer this
then like having it like really really
mashed up and I enjoy that texture of
having like the actual beam itself you
know usually like I said you guys are
know I'm not a what gushy person but
this place has a pretty good tire so
girls are supposed to eat from the down
get in this side just like super crispy
on the side like can you see like a
little bit burnt I don't usually like
that yeah it was a lot of em were like
sloppy and like a bread right but this
is almost like credit they're like a
faint crusted waffle it's so good I'm
still getting key number three
menchi-katsu from a sixer manche
[Music]
man she cut fresh off the fryer no
Michael doesn't like us so much because
you think it's too early but I just love
coming to this place you can see the
juices and look how juicy that is and
it's still hot my hand is almost burning
fried to perfection
it's just so flavorful it's actually
probably just a lot sweeter than you
would expect from a Mitchie katsu
I think the onions will really really
bring out the sweetness but man look at
just how juicy this meat is number two
nikka money from second in this shop
behind me it has one of my favourite
nikumans in all of Tokyo the bread is
fantastic but that meat is even juicier
I just love like coming behind me look
at his knee come on it's so hot actually
almost burnt my hand when she gave it to
me she's like no no don't touch it at
the bottom because it's so hot and it
was she made me hold it like this
because it was so hot to touch this
finger it's kind of hot but I'm excited
open anyway well how you can just see
all the meat juices right there it's so
moist it's just coated the bread know
how that looks so good that's your piece
like this has all the meat I gave her
like that piece corn I'll share it I'll
share it's still so hot that the law
whoa that's a good knee c'mon the flavor
it just pops it's so juicy and tender
the meat is just so delicious and moist
like it's very savory but you do get a
little bit of sweetness but the meat
itself it's on point it's a good
combination of savory and sweet the bun
itself it's not too heavy it's quite
fluffy but also it's not like two areas
so you do feel like you're getting a
full meal I really love this newcomer
okay so I actually have this before and
it's really good I wouldn't know that
but right after you take a bite it's
already taste good the bread is so fake
you might think it's really heavy but
it's actually pretty light it's like one
on one shape and number one pancakes
from Bennett City
so I just got our reservation so this
shot behind me makes homemade pancakes
and they're one of a kind of fluffy
pancakes are so good so if you want to
eat at the spot you actually have to
make a reservation they only take
same-day reservations and the way to do
it is you'll have to come here and
they'll tell you which is the next
available slot in order to make that
reservation you're gonna need to deposit
two thousand yen so be prepared all
right we'll come back in a few hours and
have some fluffy pancakes
so Benny Sid who just opened last year
but they've quickly made a name for
themselves this shop used to be called
Flamingo but the former owners children
created this new shop Benny to do
which means of red creme you see the
connection a lot of the time seats are
filled from the morning reservation so I
order the bacon and eggs pancake look
how precisely the chef's tax each
feathery pancake one by one like a true
artist and to top it off with a creamy
homemade hollandaise like sauce look at
this masterpiece look at the egg on top
the two pieces of bacon it's a sandwich
with all of this love and there's
another egg inside
[Music]
that's truly amazing the person you
taste is the creamy hollandaise sauce
you can definitely taste it's homemade
and then you get like that crunch of the
bacon innocent just cook perfectly and
then you get to the pancake which is so
airy and fluffy it just melts a psycho
marshmallow but it's so much better than
that this is quite possibly the best
pancakes I've ever had in my life I can
take like the biggest bites but it's not
heavy at all I don't care if you happen
to make a reservation this place
definitely worth the way and Michael
order their most basic pancake
[Music]
unless the saltiness of the butter and
the honey it's not too heavy just look
at this a nice touch even after you pour
a lot it's I wish this place will get so
populous I didn't come back definitely
after eating here you'll understand why
they have a reservation process because
each pancake takes a finite amount of
time to make and so you can't have too
many customers coming in you have to
like make sure that you know you have
you can make the pancakes and serve them
properly
on time and fresh to each customer
definitely worth the wait
