Hey guys! I'm here in Inokashira Koen with a group of my friends!
And we're doing hanami!
We tried this last week actually in this exact same park
But barely any of the flowers were blooming
So we're trying again this week, and it's not bad!
We got some flowers
They're not amazing, but at least there are some
So I'm thinking the peak will probably be next week
So if you guys are heading to Japan sometime during the first week of April
I can pretty much assure you that there will still be some sakura around, so yay!
They're blooming a lot later than they expected them to
We got lots of food and we're just gonna chill here!
We have the most epic selection of sakura snacks and drinks
And yay Holly found the sake kitkats!
They don't have them in Tokyo, they're all sold out everywhere
But if you go outside of Tokyo you can still find them
These are rice crackers with like a sweet icing on top
There's a regular milk version but these sakura ones are so good
I'm gonna be so sad when they're gone
And this is the most beautiful alcohol ever
I'll show you it later on
And the Sakura Pepsi which I haven't tried yet
I've heard bad things about it so we'll see
Apparently it's just a repackage of another pepsi they came out with
Kim brought some really cute sakura cookies
And I think these ones are dango
Eeeee so exciting!
I found this new coffee
I don't know if it's actually sakura flavoured
It says "Cafe Au Lait that Smells Like Spring"
And then there's sakura on it
But if you look at the ingredients it just says coffee, milk and sugar sooo... we'll see
I got an onigiri to start off with
Look it's an omurice onigiri!
It's got ketchup rice and then fried egg on top
I've never tried one of these before but it looks pretty good
Mmm this is good
Holly's trying Orange Coke
I think it kind of just tastes like coke
Really? You can't even taste the orange?
No way, whaaat
Like It's a little sweeter...
Oh you know what it tastes like! Mandarin oranges
It tastes like Mandarin oranges, it says oranges but
It tastes a lot more like mandarin oranges than regular navel oranges
I'm gonna try my maybe sakura coffee
Nope it's just coffee
That's so lame
What the hell
Just the package
That's so lame
Cute!
Hope they're sakura flavoured
Looks like it because it's pink
Rosie's licking them
Ooo yah they're pink
Mmmm yum
Mmm they're so good
They've got sakura leaves in them
Focus camera you can do it
There we go, see the little sakura leaf?
These rice crackers are my favourite sakura snack that I found this year
They're so so good
They're got the saltiness of a regular rice cracker
And then this pink icing is sweet and it tastes like sakura
SO GOOD.
Ta-daaaaa
Can you see the sakura inside?
It's got a real flower inside
I saw this on instagram and I just needed to get it
It's so beautiful!
It's really good! It tastes like apples!
Wow that's really good
For 11% that's amazing, it tastes like apple juice!
But a little taste of alcohol
Ok guys the moment you've all been waiting for
First of all I would like to say that the package is hideous
Come on, you had sakura to work with you could have made something so much more beautiful!
It's so tacky
Agghhh it's so cringy
Do you like the flavour?
Yeah I liked it, I was surprised!
People were complaining that it tasted like a previous Pepsi
And they just repackaged it as Sakura
I don't know which one it was
Hm. What does that taste like!?
It's good...?
Weird
I can't figure out what the flavour is
It's sweet, but it doesn't have a flavour
Is it like Sprite?
No, it's like maybe a really subtle cherry flavour?
Is it like the McDonald's thing?
It's similar, but like...
You'll see what I mean
I just can't figure out what flavour it is
Yeah
It's not bad
It's sakura flavour!
No way~ No it's not
It tastes like nothing, it's just salty?
It's like sweet pop
It's alright, it could have been better
It coulda tasted like Sakura, that woulda been nice!
I tried these cookies and I didn't film it
They tasted like playdoh and they felt like playdoh
It was a really weird experience, but they were good!
They're called sakura chocolate cookies, so maybe it's like a mixture of chocolate and cookie dough?
If you find them anywhere
I think these were from Donkihote, that's where we got most of our snacks actually
They're probably a spring special thing though, so if you want them go get them soon
The donkihote in Shinjuku had a really good selection of Spring stuff
These are good, I really really like these
And look at how pretty these chocolates are
The package is so nice
They've got two different kinds of chocolates inside
This one is sakura mochi flavour and this one is panacotta
It's a kinda cheese dessert I think?
This one was really good, this one was gross
But these ones are really nice
Alright guys I'm gonna say bye here we finished most of our sakura snacks
and it's starting to get dark so we're gonna head home soon
This is my 1st hanami of the year (well technically 2nd but the 1st one didn't really count)
But I'm probably gonna go again next week when the flowers are in full bloom
Thanks for watching guys, see you soon! Bye!
