our friendship is in jeopardy right now
we're standing outside a could I know
machi now Cunha is the kind of buildings
along the streets they used to be used
to storage and now they're transformed
into shops or housing so we can go down
the street and enjoy the buildings as
they were almost a hundred years ago so
we're gonna see what kind of snacks we
can find along the way but I guess we'll
see let's go check it out alright so why
are we left oh yeah why are we lined up
I've been here before this is yaki
onigiri you okay it's all money Guinea
but it's grilled it's really crispy on
the outside this place always has a huge
line I've never seen it without a lot so
it's really good
it's a little fun fact just like the
comparisons right so here they have the
yaki onigiri
when I go to Almaty every year for
shamisen stuff every time we walk into a
convenience store and buy annoying needy
that's if we want them to warm it up
yeah I've heard of that happening I've
never experienced it and it's actually
really good like a warm w but every now
and then like we tested it in Tokyo to
be like oh can you order that and they
do it without it like oh really
little convenient
[Music]
one with kudzu which is what either
shakes in one would see which is our
fish flakes are flying away in the wind
oh god it's still delicious nice salty
yeah really salty I've got sardine
flakes on line the crispiness of the
outside is really nice as an onigiri and
it's nice and warm so it's good for this
kind of wintery cold day except for the
flakes are really going going full all
right so let's finish these up and then
go find some more food because I'm still
hungry
well you had like two bites I know right
now we're in Kashia yokocho also known
as penny candy lane so this is basically
a candy Street there's so many candy
stores that have heaps of sweets
traditional or also some modern candies
as well so we're gonna go through find
some snacks but mainly there's gonna be
a big video about it on North Channel so
it will be linked if I wanted to get out
are there any particular snacks you're
interested in dutchy all the way yeah I
guess she are like the penny candies and
those are my favorite thing in the world
so I'm probably just gonna go buy a
whole bunch of it sounds good let's go
eat sugar
oh I love these these are the best ever
power paper it's like a ribbon of
sourness
this one's Cola flavored doughnuts
doughnuts for dota I'm gonna be getting
new tianmen which is like it's just
glucose syrup and you just get it on a
stick and eat have you so good literally
I just bought the store okay so we're
here in a restaurant and we have our
whole of candy from candy stream I may
have overdone it so much we're gonna
show you guys a few bits of the candy
that we bought and explain them how
about we start with this little guy
these ones here are like a new flavor
that neither of us have ever tried
before there's like a cider flavor a
Cola flavor melon and white soda so
these are really great they come with a
little too thick and there's soft
candies so you just give him up give him
a little stat Cheers
[Music]
you're like a little bit sour yeah and
got a punched room I love the classic
cherry flavors so good I'm gonna try and
weight to them a little bit sour these
are dangerous
that's so good all right so these are
penny candies they are little I call
these rock candies and their foot little
patents in them and these ones are
really cute they've got like the
Japanese flag have you ever seen how
these are made so they make these giant
rolls yeah like this design you journey
like this baby yeah it's like this big
stretch this yeah
you don't if you go underground Tokyo
Station there's the ice underground and
there's actually a shop where you can
watch them make these from scratch just
smooth sweetened it
okay so we're gonna be having some many
on it I actually love this stuff so it's
basically just always very syrup with
flavoring and you get it on the stick
and you eat it I got the strawberry
flavor so I like tell you mix it up like
this this fun
so for the last ones I think we should
do like the absolute like base of candy
in Japan or snacks in Japan which is a
big dog and Kevin's title he snacks that
like every Japanese person is like oh I
had those when I was a kid you might
have seen konpeito before is it in
Studio Ghibli with the creatures are
always carrying compete dogs yeah yeah
little star candies these tend to be
like my editing snack or just my
drinking snack or Monday mornings they
actually still see ya nice probably
shouldn't fill up on these that's true
anyways I'm afraid to try and cover go
ahead so let's go and see what else we
can find
okay so I just got a sweet potato Manju
on the inside that's gonna be red bean
and sweet potatoes and it's warm it's
just being steaming kind of like it's
steamed fun
I like the red bean pot about third base
really grabbed sweet potatoes an
interesting addition Oh like it's good
it's just it's layered with surprises
okay so now we're nice and warm in a
restaurant and we're gonna be having
some emo food on emo is a sweet potato
so the noodles themselves are made out
of sweet potato as you can probably tell
have you ever had purple noodles before
first time first time
[Music]
that's really good it is it does taste
like sweet potater they're really chewy
they're really chewy I'm expected to be
that chewy this is like the only thing
on my mind right now it's down below
there's this great dango shop here that
sells different kinds we're gonna get a
sweet potato one a strawberry one and
just plain do you like I love them while
I live in a sucker right dango shops in
the back side I'm looking forward to the
email one because I've never had yeah
let's see how this compares to a sex out
we have a little seed outside the store
so we can sit down we'll meet at dango
and I'm just gonna become parent it my
goodness so I have strawberry and with a
normal red bean Dunga what's yours I got
anymore dongle or Iman it looks banana
all right I'm gonna start with the
strawberry Drescher
really good yeah looks surprisingly good
I thought I was gonna be like tired of
sweet potato but like even if you've
eaten other sweet potato stuff this
feels like something that you can eat
again nice
I guess so that they change it up each
store so even though it's the same sweet
potato this still tastes a little bit
different so how does this compare to a
zaxxar so in a sec sell one of my
favorite dango places that they have
they have like Dan go with geneco and
they're like really small with a kippah
dango style
do I feel bad while taking that away
there you go it's not that good know the
jungle but this one oh my god well to be
honest this Dan was pretty cold and I'm
cold and cold the cold don't mix I need
something warm yeah let's go find
something warm to eat to warm us up in
this cold weather
alright so now we're at the final stuff
and we're gonna be having some zenzai
specifically emo zenzai and cover the
with fashion so it's sweet potato zenzai
things I use a red bean soup by the way
they usually put some little mochi balls
in there for a next don't you and it's
really delicious I love it but I don't
know what makes emo zenzai emo there
there's evil maybe looking at you can't
see anymore I guess it's all hiding
devil butter let's give it a little
taste
it's so nice reward
it's really sweet Rashmi
[Music]
your matches really well like you've got
the sweetness and then it adds like a
slightly savory aspect inside of that
great time in college what was your
favorite snack

really loved it I didn't expect the leg
at that much a chair I was like it's
really good
