in this video I'm gonna show you my top
ten sweets in Japanese department stores
[Music]
so what a lot of people don't know is
that in Japanese department stores they
have a really really cool and unique
sweets that you won't get in a lot of
places today we're gonna go into Hikari
and I'm gonna show you all the cool and
interesting sweets that they have let's
go and try it all out one thing I want
to say is that the department store
sweets are quite fancy and it's not kind
of like an everyday thing you have maybe
they'll get it as a gift or they'll give
it to someone like on their birthday or
just like for special occasions or when
someone just wants like a special treat
because it's not the cheapest in the
world but it's pretty freakin creative
and unique and this is why we wanted to
do this video all right let's get
started
number 10 Ichigo daifuku from muta Comi
mood economy has been providing Japanese
sweets since 1911 this fluffy Ichigo
daifuku strawberry soft mochi is made
one by one by hand
we got Ichigo dive good look at that the
strawberry is right there outside layer
this white layer it's a very very soft
and sticky but it's more like a play-doh
almost in-between the mochi and the
strawberry it has a red bean paste which
is called uncle and Japanese
[Music]
mmm that's delicious strawberries
delicious the strawberry is like
overpowering you how it's like almost
tart sweet taste of the strawberry but
then you have the red bean paste and
then you have the mochi which is like a
sticky and it all comes together well
I'm really impressed with this very very
good combination but the strawberry is
like the star here it's kind of like
oranges of the new black and Piper is a
strawberry uncle and the mochi the
supporting cast it's also good like
Piper's great but the supporting cast
just brings it all together it's a good
music mrs. you could bear I think you're
very sweet I know it to me you see the
star she is a star I still taste of my
fresh sour face a little bit I wish you
all mmm number 9 eggs benedict keys from
quiche your dough is dukkha
super-psyched that a celebrity patissier
Toshio doy suka created this quiche
specialized store with a full spectrum
of colorful deli quiches they are
irresistible now I don't know if this is
like classified as a sweet per se
that's eggs benedict but it smells so
good you can definitely smell the
hollandaise sauce and you can see the
egg I'm just gonna put this crumb
catcher underneath one big bite
[Music]
mMmmm oh my God look at that and you
look it's coming out of the top I took a
bite in the front and an egg yolk came
out the back like a scared burglar
definitely taste the hollandaise sauce
is amazing and when the first bite
I was surprised they actually have some
ham in here it's a delicious it's like
your own freakin meal definitely freshly
made it's just so good I can have like
three of these for breakfast I'm so
happy the pie crust it's really flaky so
it's not that thick is very very thin it
just crumbles when you take a bite I'm
amazed how precise this is man like an
egg and everything is just it's cooked
perfectly so that there's still that egg
yolk and it just melts in your mouth
York York York yo yo yo you wouldn't
leave New York this is good also I guess
this I think you have like a little
scramble down on the bottom and then you
have ham poached egg lundi soaps on the
top it's good idea
I make hollandaise sauce myself
sometimes you turn us really like to
sour or like to salty or like to oily
but this is little bit sour mood mayo
kind of taste but like everything else
is like a really solid say you're like
oh this is that really well we go in for
that all right so I'm just gonna finish
this huh what's this there's like onions
in there do that brown layer that's
onions it's like the gift that keeps on
giving
number eight matcha cake and Mont Blanc
from Giotto Giotto is known for
delightful cakes with Japanese
ingredients and I got their top sellers
to is always better than one right
Wow look at this we have much it's
actually called Koya Koya means rich
much
it's so heavy I'm afraid it's gonna fall
but I just wanted to show you guys how
decadent this thing is look at that oh
it's gonna fall it's gonna fall I'm
putting it back down so this is Mumbai
look at this it comes in a little light
it's so elegant so you can see right
here it has the cream it's like a
whipped cream and then there's a cake
inside and then right in the middle it
looks like a creamy cake part wonder
where that's gonna taste like more like
a custard I think no surprise it's very
like a nutty creamy taste which is
almost like Teddy masseur it almost
tastes like a rum this is a cake itself
it looks very moist mm-hmm so this
almost sits like a pudding taste
all right Chester the chestnut as
sweden's like a glazed chestnut so if
you like chestnuts and you like rum and
you like pudding this is the thing for
you to be honest this is not my favorite
I look really cool because they look
like a mountain with a little chestnut
on top first of all I'm gonna tell you
that I hate mumble okay just not so I
hope this one doesn't tastes like just
me
[Music]
hmm so it's also pretty good I think
I've got a big bite of pudding part if
balance out really well with this
chestnut cream and this outer layer it's
just not alright let's try the Koichi
alright let's take a bite mmm this is
really good I like it very elegant taste
it's almost like the little princess had
a little tea party and may put it into a
cake whatever that is
I really enjoying this like really green
matcha cream very satisfying it has six
layers three sponges layer white frost
matcha frost in the toppings like take
much a cream or something
so I'm just gonna have all of it mmm
fluffy the cream is like so most like a
frost like the one on the topping of
like birthday cake or something it's
really light and fluffy really good much
a cream so it has a black bean and
instead of white cross there number
seven MILF we from burn a Bearnaise milk
we is one of the most popular and loved
sweets gifts in Japan comes in five
different packet sizes and I got the
smallest a set of seven the this is
milfy you I don't even know how to
pronounce it but it looked so frickin
good that I had to get it there's three
different flavors here and I'm gonna
start off with the milk chocolate
because milk chocolate is just so good
let's taste this milk chocolate goodness
hmm they have like these layers of pie
crust if I don't know if you guys can
see that and has some cream in there pie
crust cream pie crust it just has all of
us like goodness and then it has it's
coated with milk chocolate if you look
at the box itself and the sweet
chocolate actually has three but I think
this one is like the main one of the
original one
let's try this one ended in cia's I mean
sweet chocolate and milk chocolate it
sounds almost the same it's really
really dirty if you compare the two this
one is a lot darker let's try this it is
definitely a lot darker than the milk
chocolate milk chocolate is definitely
like a lot smoother but the pie crust
inside is really nice it's like crumble
fication in there it's like making love
to my mouth alright so I just gonna try
we're gonna try to gaze on that as well
and it looks like in terms of the color
of the chocolate you can see that the
sweet chocolate is a darkest milk
chocolate a lightest and the hazelnut is
kind of in the middle hmmm decided this
one is my favorite I love his honor this
guy is the most loved child in this
family
okay I'm gonna eat the leftover of
Paolo's because I want to eat this later
because it's my favorite snack I used to
get this at work
my favorite is hazelnut Dedic ma I know
it's good yeah we always say it has like
a whipped cream on the side no maybe
that it's like a hazelnut flame for me
to feel you like PI layers is so light
and like it's not too buttery you know
like sometimes me defeat you could be
like really really buttery and a heavy
and I make sure if it affects if this is
just like it's so good
so it is dark chocolate dark chocolate I
don't see much of cream some bitter
heads on that I taste more like tiny
crossbar it likes more coal but see I'm
gonna watch it yeah it was just good
like mmm a lot of cream that's my food

little oh oh look looks like a foot and
i really love how this is all packaged

yolk using eggs and these eggs come from
Kyoto chickens supposed to melt in your
mouth and we're ready for it to melt and
3 2 1
mm-hmm it's very spongy and when you
take a bite it just all kind of crumbles
in your mouth and then when you have
bites it's kind of nice because you have
this like soft crumbly bread kind of
cake and then you have like these little
crunchy bits and the crunchy bits are
the sugar that they sprinkled on top
very delicious

excited to hold on Borana is like if you
stupid start breaking usually custard is

tasting that sweetness it's nothing like
American birthday cake like big chuckle

it again number five melon bread from
Nemo bakery
Nemo bakery is a local bakery from
Sachiko Yama and this is their second
store their baguette and croissants are
the most popular but that's not what I'm

encrusted with sugar on top and then
below it you have a really really fresh
fluffy bread underneath the most
impatient part is the top the top layer

one number four saya from patisserie
Sadaharu al key Paris this is a popular
participants owned by a Japanese but to
see a so it's kind of like a re-import
they have stylish cakes and macaroons
that entertain customers eyes and tastes
look at this strawberry sensation the
top of it looks like almost a freakin of
painting as you can see it has one two
three four five six different layers so
the first and the fourth layer looks
like they're the same as you can see
there's like some red parts and in this
like white part so maybe that's all like
one layer in it in itself at the bottom
you have this white cake thing and then
you have this crumbly cake strawberry
freakin that's a good strawberry very
tasty mm-hmm so velvety
that's delicious I was expecting to have
a cake sensation it's all just silky
smooth velvety creams and then at the
end you get there like the crumbly bits
of the bottom crust mmm this thing is
infused with that strawberry goodness
freaking amazing
I'm like drooling it's so good for my
lips are just so big oh you see the
surface of the top is like powdery the
color of this cake is so pretty it's
really Japanese color combination more
like a mousse like a layers of mousse
and then I think it's this red part and
it's really sour like me a good sour
like strawberries are this fluffy pink
loose or like wrapping that hanging it's
really good it's a freshen I feel like
eating old is like a sweet stuff you
enough for another it was gonna be like
really tiring this one is really like
fruity and a bit sour it's nice I like
it

rusk
from isaku Benia binya is known for its
unique Japanese flavor trust like yuzu
matcha and Japanese sugar they also make
a cute Eclair Rusk and that's a were
throwing down on today this is the
Eclair Rusk now the store actually had
several different flavors this is a
cherry blossom and strawberry flavored
Eclair it came in like this box with
this tray that like came out and wrapped
in plastics amazing how much detail is
put into each and every single sweets it
looks like a breadstick at the bottom
don't know if it's gonna taste like a
breadstick and then it has kind of like
a frosted strawberry or maybe the Sakura
flavor on top and then in the middle you
have actually looks like the show cream
like you know in the cream puffs has
little like crunchy flakes
maybe bread crumbs of some sort and then
it has another layer of maybe Sakura or
strawberry flavor alright let's take a
bite it's actually it's pretty light in
itself there's not gonna be a heavy
thing like a little snack let's try it
out
that was very crumbly when I hated
everything just like broken crumble in
my mouth when I took a bite definitely
can taste the strawberry I didn't use a
cream so much but the strawberry at the
end is like a really really strong taste
if I had to like compare it to anything
for the u.s. it almost says like a pop
tart you know when you get like the
strawberry pop-tarts and you don't
actually put it in the toaster it almost
is like that it's definitely a lot
better than a pop tart it's interesting
though I didn't really taste the cream
so much and you would think that the
cream would be creamy but it's really
soft and almost like powder you can see
like it's very thin and very light and
he's like crumbles to the touch you can
see ya like Paulo said it's not so moist
and creamy more like light powdery cream
sourness and number 1 oh hello from the
limo the limo is directed by a
chocolatier so every cake has chocolate
in it and I love how every cake has its
own bling bling and Othello
making those money moves let me show you
my little chocolate friend look how
shiny that is I can see the reflection
of my face at the shop I saw so many
different cakes I wanted to try those
pistachio it was always like raspberry
like looking things but I decided to go
with a chocolate this little gold piece

piece it just kind of
oh that bottom layer is super hard I
don't know why let me show you this
delightful surprise
so you have this um chocolate layer and
on the inside you have a chocolate cake
and then this middle thing I don't
really know what it is because a custard

and then this is like a chocolate mousse
I'm assuming and then at the bottom like
a crust at the bottom right there let's
take a little taste of this piece of
chocolate just like it's so thin that it
just melted in my mouth holy freaking
damn that is a creamiest sensation I've
had in a long time Wow hello you might
be my best friend from now on there's
like so many different flavors in this
cake you have the house wrap it wasn't
cheese it was a custard the mousse is
