in this video I'm gonna show you guys my
top 10 favorite new Japanese chocolates
from the convenience store
[Music]
so I love chocolate but recently they've
been coming out with a lot of new
chocolate and I think I just needed to
spend some time today to introduce you
to some of my favorites
seems like this last year there's been a
trend of introducing new types and
chocolate different properties and
effects aside from just being good and
this is the video where I'm gonna share
it all with you oh and if you like my
Tokyo shirt check out my merch all right
let's begin number one Meiji not
chocolate so this is May G's the
chocolate it's one of the more popular
chocolates at the moment and it won a
lot of awards actually within the line
of chocolates they have from 51% all the
way up to 70% I don't think it goes
higher than that but they have different
flavors but for me I've tried a few of
them this one is my favorite because I'm
not bad of dark chocolate so much this
is the velvet milk flavor and it's 51
percent cacao pictograph here saying
like how bitter it is how sweet how
milky how nutty the flavor is and
whatnot which is actually pretty cool
it's kind of nice to get like these
individually wrapped packages they feel
premium type of chocolate look at all
the individual pieces all the different
squares it's really like almost like a
retro design look how easily it breaks
true velvet surprise you still get the
hints of bitter but you can definitely
also taste the milk chocolate in it it's
almost as if an artisan made this it's
simply a delightful piece of chocolate
number two Gouda co gaba gaba stress
relieving chocolate I don't know if it
actually really works cuz I've had this
before I actually liked it so I think
it's like a pretty cool concept but
apparently this chocolate itself it has
the ingredient gaba
it's supposed to relieve stress for
those people that are doing like very
monotonous clerical jobs like I think in
general chocolate is good because it
helps me relieve my stress like when I'm
stressed out but this one is supposed to
SuperDuper relieve your stress at least
that's what it says alright let's just
open this up the Box goes like
oh now these look like gold bars look at
that seven pieces of blissful joy oh oh
I'm so stressed by all the hate on the
YouTube comments please please melt my
stress away that just melted my stress
away well I think it's good I just
blocked all of the haters on my youtube
channel that too but what I like about
this one you can definitely chase the
milk chocolate it's really like
pronounced and it's just very smooth
it's actually really really sweet and
then the Fox it also says mental balance
chocolates so I guess if you are
mentally unbalanced this is the
chocolate for you
number three Lord a new song keen
chocolate bring on the next one I'm
getting jittery today so new son Kim
means a lactic acid so apparently
they've infused it with living lactic
acid ingredients help you digest was
like really good for your stomach it's
kind of interesting like you know think
this is one of the things that they've
just started adding like infusing and
different ingredients in the chocolate
I'm recommending this one because one
it's good for your stomach but it also
tastes good poor little pieces is like
mini pieces feel like they didn't
actually have to break it up into these
four little pieces but it's just really
nice it's just the details in the
chocolate I love it just gonna put it
all mmm
what I like about this is this like a
thick chocolate and just it melts really
quickly but then it just like today is
like really sticky and just coats your
entire mouth like a light piece of
chocolate itself but it feels almost
heavy yeah it's a super milky but it
only comes in the aftertaste it's a it's
an interesting chocolate it's really
good
number four good eco pokey double white
choco and white peach alright pokey
pokey poke me poke you poke us pokey and
really have a sugar rush so this is a
new pokey flavor and I had to introduce
it to you guys
it is delish so here it says Kingdom
which means forbidden and what's
forbidden is a double dipping of the
chocolate if you guys have ever had
pokey but has a really thin
layer of chocolate on the actual
breadstick whereas this they're like oh
we never do this but this time we're
going to double dip this and make it a
thick piece of chocolate layer it's
almost similar to Fran but they've
actually layered it a little bit more
than friend why are we waiting let's
just open it oh yeah I almost forgot
it's beach flavor in fact I've seen a
lot of strawberry flavors in pokey but I
haven't seen a lot of peach flavors all
right let's like I'd be leaving in the
wicked oh look how thick these freaking
pokey are they almost look like
cigarettes
so this biscuit part is actually keeps
flavored look at that the first thing is
you can definitely taste the chocolate
it's really creamy it almost tastes like
a yogurt flavor then once you bite into
the biscuit you can definitely taste the
peach one of the things I like about
this is that peach the actual biscuit
itself the peach flavor is really strong
so that when you take a bite into the
chocolate it's almost like peaches
infused in the chocolate it's like a
great combination between the two yo
what y'all doing after school number
five bourbon dies ooh Co Co Co to meet
Sookie Nicole this is soybeans covered
with black sugar and Enoch oh it is a
very Japanese and delicious treat this
is like one of Michael's favorites she
loves this one no you guys love the well
gushy stuff so here it is look at all
those lovely beans what I love about
this it's a crunchy nut on the outside
you can see the soybean nut in the
middle and then you have Pinochle and
black sugar that's like it's coated
around it's like super light and crunchy
it's really easy to eat you can go
through the bag really really quickly I
feel like if you had a bowl of this on a
coffee table people would just be like
number six latte crunchy caramel and
cereal the series of chocolates that
they have all crunchy do they have like
chocolate bars everyone's in a bag they
have all different flavors but yeah and
what's cool is this is one of the new
flavors that they have and
wanted to show it to you guys it's
almost like an edamame bean what it says
on the package it says like that it
doesn't really melt in your hand
so maybe what I'll do is I'll put this
one in my palm for a little bit and see
if it melts yeah like it doesn't feel
like it's like it's gonna melt wow
that's really delicious so it has like
the cereal like washed up in little bits
and pieces caramel is quite sweet but
it's not overpowering oh look at that
notice it in my hand for I would say
like a minute it's a little bit shiny
but it didn't really even melt which is
nice I feel like I'm a distance and
what's like eating the caramel popcorn
in Disneyland number seven Bourbon
summer truffle salt vanilla flavor and
as funny was that company makes this has
actually called a bourbon the summer
truffle of the century it almost looks
like a walnut or something mm-hmm it's a
lighter chocolate it's not too heavy
what's interesting is that in Japan they
sell a lot of like salt snacks in the
summer to help you keep hydrated I don't
even know if I remember seeing salt
snacks in the States maybe it's a
popular thing over there now but the
saltiness it has like this addictive
property so it makes you want to eat
another one that's why I have another
one in my hand and I'm just gonna keep
on eating until I eat all seven okay
let's move on to the next one and I'm
going to save this for later okay number
eight Meiji Gobbo subbu Nettie
strawberry so this is gaba it's one of
my favorite series here in japan so they
usually have like these like capsule
looking pill lookin chocolates then they
have like all sorts of different flavors
this strawberry flavor is one of the
newer ones that they've just released
look at that as thick as my pinky
that strawberry is always a welcome
surprise you can see that like there's
not a lot of strawberry coating in it
but in fact it kind of overpowers the
whole entire chocolate itself the inside
is very light and airy so you don't get
a lot of luck with chocolate sensation
it's mainly strawberry taste number nine
Fujiya look with that - no mint Papa
Korriban and you guys know I love mint
chocolate but the cool thing about this
one you get two different flavors you
get mint ice cream and you get a mint
parfait my favorite is actually the mint
ice cream that because it's a little
more playful and it's a little more like
fun whereas the chocolate and mint
parfait is it kind of like a serious
chocolate and it actually matches my
shirt again check out my merch all right
let's open it up and look they all come
in different designs so based on the
design there you can tell which flavor
it is all right so let's try the mint
ice cream first match it up let me just
break this open for you guys what I like
about this one it's like an Andes thin
mint mint isn't actually that strong so
you're eating more of the chocolate with
a slight mint when you take a bite but
as he's crunchy bits almost like you're
bite into it I like kind of crackles
open what I love about this is it has a
liquid inside let me show you guys you
see that liquid oh it's falling look I
look like ah that the nectar of the gods
mmm so minty it's almost like menthol e
to a sense I could almost it's like
you're eating halls medicine like it's
that strong it's really good
mint lovers this is like the perfect
combination and number 10 latte well
condo milk chocolate whoo this one is
infused with a Japanese Chinese medicine
you have actually nine different
medicines in all in here are like herbs
I don't even know if I can pronounce
this so it has jujube citrus aren t M
kartha mysterious ginger Japanese paper
man licorice Chinese cannabis seeds
gardenia malaria reticulata
get this QB delight mmm what a wonderful
sensational little piece of chocolate in
a perfect cube well it's not actually
perfect you can see that it's a little
bit angled you guys make a perfect cube
next time
definitely could Dave Center hopes it's
very flavorful to say the least it
almost sounds like a honey and
aftertaste I've already eaten it and I'm
again still taste and I breathe the 9
freakin ingredients like coming out of
my mouth I would recommend this if you
wanted like something a little bit
different like oh wow that's such an
interesting piece of chocolate that I've
never had but if you're looking for
something that's just gonna be a home
run and try the other one and as an
honorable mention I wanted to introduce
these three they didn't make the top ten
because they're not as like new that
you've been around for a while but I
love them nonetheless this one is like
my biscuit of choice Alpert is like a
chocolate biscuit definitely worth
trying if you guys are here Thunder
which is like a really thin chocolate
bar like it's almost like a chocolate
wafer they have a smaller version as
well which is like the chocolate bar but
they're like really really light and
airy this is so this is the original one
and then this came a bit later and they
made it kind of look into like a lighter
thinner wofully paste and a macadamia
these things are the bomb
so it's macadamia pieces that are
covered in milk chocolate and they are
splendid alright so if you guys like my
