[Victor] Hey guys, it's Victor and Charlie from "Yummy Japan."
[Charles] And today we are over here in Harajuku,
to go try out some amazing delicious sweets, recommended to us by our friends over at
"Tokyo Cheapo"
[Victor] So today is like my special day, because I absolutely
love sweets! And today we're going to be getting totally not reading from a list here...
We're going to be getting some,
Rainbow cotton candy! some
gourmet Popcorn!
We're going to be trying some,
Crepes! And they have this one new shop over here.
It's called like "Zakuzaku" from like Hokkaido.
[Charles] Sounds interesting!
[Victor] It sounds really good. We have some like cute cake pops to another little treat,
and we finally have some Kalbee fries which are freshly made from one of the stores right inside!
[Charles] Awesome reading from the script there Victor 10 out of 10!
[Charles] I can't wait to go try them out, let's go! [Victor] Let's do it!
So first we're going to stop at the shop called "Sweet XO"
They're popular for making multicolored frozen popcorn and cotton candy, gigantic cotton candy.
We're going to take the biggest one and see what it's all about.
Just look at this thing is huge! It's bigger than my face and its melting.
[Charles] So I'm going to have to try this as fast as possible. [Victor] It's melting because of the humidity.
My God! How are you even supposed eat this?
This is really delicious there's all those different layers here, of flavors. My hands are covered
with cotton candy, because it's so humid. It's melting, so probably not the best treat to have in summer.
Look at that!
[Victor] That's huge! How was your cotton candy experience?
[Charles] It was a trauma. But it was really delicious. [Victor] It was traumatic?
[Charles] I expected it to be sweeter, but actually it was really easy to eat even though it was huge!
It was bigger than me, but yeah I would definitely try it again maybe with some gloves next time,
because I didn't have gloves this time and I turned into
"The Incredible Hulk!" lol
[Victor] So what would you rate this out of 10?
[Charles] Maybe a good 8 out of 10! I expected it to be sweeter but actually it had some really nice flavors,
you could taste the watermelon, the strawberry, you could taste lemon so it was perfect.
Next up is "Marion Crepes" which is a staple of Harajuku in terms of crepes.
Right now they're having two summer limited edition crepes.
"Mint De Mint" and "Colorful Summer" So we're going to try those out.
[Victor] So what I got here is the limited summer special this is the "Mint De Mint"
And it comes with some... I guess this is like mint cream?
Ah! That's mint cream. It's pretty good.
These little like chocolate cookies.
Okay, that's pretty good.
And, right in the center, you get some ice cream.
[Charles] How would you rate that?
[Victor]10 out of 10! Delicious!
[Charles] I got the "Colorful Summer" so I think it's like tops with lots of fruits,
and there's some ice cream at the bottom.
There's like a super colorful marble ice cream I call it.
Hmm! Wow OK. Almost tastes like chewing gum has like a fun taste to it.
The fruit is super fresh!
It's funny how they call it Crepe, but I've actually never seen crepe like this in France.
But really delicious! They know how to do it!
[Charles] Probably a 10 out of 10 for me! [Victor] 10 out of 10, that's really nice!
[Victor] After that delicious crepe, we had to stop by "Zaku Zaku"
Popular for their cream puffs filled with custard made from Hokkaido.
[Charles] It's a "Croquantchou Zaku Zaku"
Apparently it expires today so you need to eat it fresh, when it's made fresh.
[Victor] Eat it immediately! [Charles] Yes! Let's open it.
[Charles] So I can't, I don't even know how to describe this...
[Victor] What do you call it? Like a chou puff cream? I think? [Charles] Cream puff, filled with a actually a homemade custard.
Anyways I'll just dig in!
Here it goes!
Mmmm, oh wow
The custard is so creamy so rich.
[Victor] How would you rate this on a sugar level?
[Charles] Probably a six out of ten! Like the coating is very sweet but inside the custard is not that sweet.
It's very tasty!
[Victor] It does taste slightly a bit like peanuts.
Let me get a bite of the ah the custard here.
Not bad! It's a little bit liquidy than what I would have imagined a normal custard would be.
Normal custard is more kind of like pudding.
I get some I sense, I was expecting it to be a little bit more thick;
however, this is a little bit creamy. Aside from that, yeah, highly recommend it!
I'd probably give this like a 7 out of 10!? You come on out here and try it.
cheap easy to get to, there's not a huge line for anymore so It's definitely worth it.
Thumbs up!
[Charles] Okay now we're going to have something a little bit more salty,
So we're going to try some Calbee fries. They're actually made on the spot here at this shop.
They have two different flavors, they have cheese and a salad flavor. I think we're definitely going for the cheese flavor one.
[Victor] Oh yeah!
[Charles] So these are made on the spot Calbee fries, they're still like warm.
There's actually some smoke coming out of them, wow! And it's coated with cheese.
Fromage, fromage la France. Oh why do I have an accent when I speak French.
Anyways
Hot!!
The potatoes are really good.
They're like very fluffy and coated in nice cheese. The cheese flavor is not too intense,
so it's a very good balance. And it's crunchy but fluffy on the inside. Perfect!
[Victor] Alright guys I've been waiting for this pretty much all day, we've had nothing but sweet stuff the entire day,
and this is probably going to be like the only salty thing that we have on the menu.
We literally saw them create these fries. Create, is that a thing? Bake? Deep fry these fries?
Is that why they call them
fries
Super nice and warm and hot.
OK, this is good. That was very good. The cheese is amazing, has nice like salty flavor to it.
I'm definitely going to savor these. These I would say are about like an
8 out of 10. And I say that because, the majority of like oil is still kind of in the fry.
I know that's a very small thing to complain about, but it does have this kind of like little oily after taste.
Right, if that's your thing. All for you!
Either way these are good. Let's go to the next one.
For our next treat we're trying a newly open shop, "Coisof"
A soft cream shop that sells super intense flavored sesame seed soft creams.
We tried out two of their most popular items, white and black sesame soft creams.
Both are topped with Oiro a traditional snack that is crispy and sweet.
Overall it was delicious, very creamy, cute and totally deserves a
9 out of 10!
[Charles] We're still hungry for some more . So now it's time to try out "Totti Candy"
A shop so popular they have a ticket service, which tells you the time you can come.
They are popular for sweets, cotton candy and cake pops.
We chose three super cute ones to try.
[Charles] OK let's try it out! [Victor] OK, give it a shot!
[Charles] It comes in ice cold by the way.
So Cuuuuuuute!!!
*Laughing Out Loud*
[Charles] Well let's end this fast.
[Charles] So let's give this a try. OK. [Victor] You first!
[Victor] God you ripped it's head off. You ripped it straight in half!
[Charles] Pretty dense... [Victor] This is not... This is not a cake everybody...
[Victor] It is like a ball chocolate.
It's like a very very very like super dense browny.
If you have a really, really strong sweet tooth, I'd recommend it. However I think I've been...
Been sweetened out today. I would grade this bar like a
7 out of 10
I mean I really like the... the coating. The candy kind of coating on the outside.
[Victor]It's really really cute! It's definitely like super Instagram material. [Charles] It's very cute!
[Victor] Make sure to follow me on "@frameoftravel"
[Charles] Kind of bit it's head off though...
It's not Instagram material any more...
Another Harajuku street staple, "Garrett's Premium Popcorn"
They have a ton of different popcorn flavors, it's very high in quality.
This shop usually has over two hour-long lines and today we're going to see if it's worth the wait.
[Victor] Alright so one of the last things that we got today is "Garrett's Popcorn"
Now this thing used to be super popular out here in Harajuku,
and their lines used to go for like what two, three hours?
People just to get, "this"
Is the worth it? Let's find out.
Let's get a, let's get a look inside here
This is very vibrant in cheesy cornish goodness.
All right so moment of truth, is this worth it?
*Satisfactory nodding*
Oh yeah, this is legitly good. I mean usually when you get like something that's like cheddar,
but the cheese it is like sprinkled on... This is more kind of like a, like a sauce...
That's just dribbled on every single popcorn.
The flavor's delicious.
I mean it's really kind of an intense cheesy flavor that's the best way I could describe it.
If I were to rate this today, this will definitely be a
10 out of 10!
[Charles] As you see on the bag it's super cute on this side it says, "To : Me" "From : Me"
[Victor] Because it's going to be for me, and not for Charles. *wink* Sorry buddy [Charles] Awe.....
