"Sausage in Bakery "my absolute favorite oh my God I love this this was so much fun how would
you have explained this item or did you maybe figure out while listening to it what kind of
item it is I love our kind of surprising challenges because sometimes because this item is
so or the name of it is so Japan specific that it really makes people rethink "wait a second how do I describe this again?"
how would I describe this I think we found a good item for that one
and they say that American dog is wase ego meaning it is actually a term that is English
but it is a very Japanese way of using that English word
I mean if you think of hot dog I guess it makes sense that's where it comes from
but these ones are actually called corn dogs generally maybe some in some other parts of the world so it might also be called American dog
but it's very very just specific apparently so I have been told
so how would you have described this little item here
let us know and I hope you enjoyed this video guys
don't forget we are doing a lot of cool other stuff here so Ask Japanese is also having two Instagrams
one is for the director masato-san over there and one is for me
really cool stuff we're doing I also have a Twitter and I'm actually live streaming from time to time on Twitch as well
also I am on Japan Railway Journal which is a program at nhk world
so we do a lot of cool stuff so if you haven't found out about that one yet please check out our socials
social socials down below would be lovely to see a little bit more of you thanks for hanging out and I'll catch you soon on Ask Japanese bye
