now that I'm doing it in front of people.

I'm usually alone when I eat this.

- Hi I'm Rie.

- And I'm Andrew.

- And today we are swapping snacks.

(jazzy music)

I'm a little worried.

(laughs)

- Why're you worried?

- I dunno.

- I have very good taste in food.

- Okay so I don't need to worry about it.

- No you should be very worried.

(laughing)

- Three, two, one.

(classical music)

I brought (speaking in foreign language).

Which is a cookie, this is super old school snack.

I dunno when they started,

like as long as I remember.

Usually grandma has it in her house.

- What's the flavor like?

- So it's like thin crepe, and it's crunchy.

But covered with chocolate.

And it said excellento crepe, excellent crepe.

- Looks good.

- Thank you.

What I see it's a baking chocolate chips?

- Semisweet chocolate morsels.

Usually used for baking.

And I think it's a great snack,

because it's a smaller bite.

You know it's basically like a mini chocolate kiss.

You can eat a lot of them, or just a couple.

It's usually really good chocolate.

Like I think this is very good chocolate.

It's just like a nice taste of chocolate

whenever you want it.

- Okay, so let's swap.

- Sure.

(jingle)

- I know exactly what this tastes like.

(giggles)

Well I know this is good, I have had it before.

(laughing)

Good.

Does it has to be semisweet?

- I think semisweet is a good balance.

Oh this one's actually kind of coated

in like a chocolate cream.

I didn't really realize that from the outside.

(chewing)

Mmm.

- It's good right?

- I dunno if you can see that

but it's almost like a Kit Kat, but even lighter.

This is good.

- I wanna try mine.

- Yeah, I wanna try mine.

(laughing)

- Mmm.

- Is it bringing you back to childhood?

- Yeah.

- To grandma's house?

- Yeah, memory of grandma.

I think I like mine better.

- That's okay, I think I like mine better.

(laughing)

- Mine's more complicated though.

- What are you talking about more complicated?

(laughing)

- Like this is straight up chocolate.

- Yeah.

- Will you swap my snack and your snack?

'Cause I won't.

(laughing)

- I won't swap, no. - I like mine.

- I would rather have this.

Are you sure you don't want some more?

- Well I want some but--

- Oh, you already swapped snacks.

(laughing)

- [Both] Next snack.

- To swap, or not swap.

- Okay, three, two, one.

(upbeat music)

I feel like your snack there is no surprise.

- I was showing somebody else my snacks

and they said that it was old man snacks.

- I was gonna say, I feel like you are old man

trapped in young man's body.

- It'll be an easy transition to the old man body then.

(laughing)

Do you know what kind of orange it is?

- Isn't it dekopon?

In Japanese I think it's called dekopon.

- They call it sumo in the grocery store.

- Is it because look like a sumo wrestler?

- I think so.

It's kind of like a bloated orange.

And it always has this little mound up there

so if that was like the sumo wrestler's head,

this is his body.

And in general I tend to buy fruit every Saturday.

And then that's a common snack I have.

And right now, this is the hot fruit to have.

(laughing)

What's your snack?

- Can you guess just looking at this picture?

- [Andrew] Honey pretzels, or garlic hot dogs.

(laughing)

- Neither.

(laughing)

So this called (speaking in foreign language).

I'm also like old lady.

This is kind of like grandma's favorite food.

So we both like old folks.

- Yeah, refined taste you know.

- Yeah, this is like fried dough,

and it's soaked with syrup.

- And is this like nuts?

- Yeah, it's peanut.

- Nut chunks, oh okay peanut.

So it's like a sweet Cheez Doodle.

- Let's swap then.

- Okay, sure.

(jingle)

Oh this one has easy open.

- [Rie] Yeah, this doesn't have easy open.

(laughing)

- What are you talking about?

Fruit is the only pre packaged food made in nature.

- That's true, it's like eco friendly.

- That orange smells good.

(laughing)

It smells like honey roasted nuts.

Like a can of beer nuts.

What do I call this?

(speaking in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Yeah.

(chewing)

(speaking in foreign language)

- Mmm. - Mmm.

This is really very much like a honey roasted nut Doodle.

(laughing)

- I like this, this is juicy.

Sometime it's like citrus is hit or miss,

but this it's like has a nice kick.

Sweet and sour, and this is what exactly

you want for orange.

- This would be an excellent pairing with beer.

I like it a lot.

- Nice. - I might swap you for this.

- Yeah, me too. - Really?

- Mhm, ready?

- One, two, three.

(upbeat music)

- I like how yours is, what you see is what you gonna eat.

(laughing)

- Yeah this is probably the most regular

of all of my snacks.

But this one also has a slight modification

which is this hot sauce.

- [Rie] Oh is it special?

- This is actually very accurate

to what I do in my regular snacking practice at home.

Where I often have tortilla chips but no salsa.

And so I end up just sitting and eating

single chips where I like, drop hot sauce

on each one and eat it.

(laughing)

Now this is the most lazy my snacking gets.

I think I eat this one,

not when I'm hungry but when I'm bored

and I want something taste exciting in my mouth.

- Kuchi Sabishii, is your mouth is lonely.

So even you're not hungry but you want to eat something.

- That is amazing.

(laughing)

I got lonely mouth often.

(laughing)

But these particular tortillas

are very thick which I like.

What's your snack?

- This style of cookie it's my favorite.

So it's kinda like buttery cookie, and rum raisin.

- Do you like raisins?

- I do. - I do too.

- Yeah, okay. - Old people like raisins.

(laughing)

Okay, you ready?

- Yeah.

(jingle)

- The cookie does look very buttery.

I like that kind of, like shortbread.

- Do you have any instructions?

- I would just do like, one drop of hot sauce per chip.

I usually like start with a drop and then

I'll ramp up until it's just unbearably spicy.

It's this particular hot sauce too that's habanero.

- Yeah.

So just like, drop.

Like that.

- Yeah.

I guess I usually do it where the hot sauce

hits my tongue first, like I'll flip it over.

- Okay.

- I dunno why.

(chewing)

Whole chip.

Everything in Japan is packaged

to the maximum number of layers.

Oh interesting.

(chewing)

(shaking cookie)

- Why do you shake it?

- Why is it rattling?

(laughing)

The raisins are miniature and dried inside.

Smells good though.

(chewing)

- Oh my god.

You're losing all the raisins.

- I'm tasting the butter part.

It's close to what an Oreo filling is like,

but a little more buttery.

And it's got the kind of dried raisins

that raisin cereal has, which I kind of like.

I bet this would be great dipped into milk maybe.

You don't see a lot of raisin desserts in America.

- Why do you think people don't like raisins?

- I think it's usually when it's in something

and they think it's gonna be chocolate,

but it turns out to be a raisin.

- Oh yeah, that happens to cookies a lot.

- I get the disappointment, but I think raisins are good.

They do an important job.

- You wanna try yours?

- Yeah, let's try mine.

(laughing)

- Ohh.

(chewing)

- It is a little weird,

now that I'm doing it in front of people.

I'm usually alone when I eat this.

- So we are not gonna swap?

- Nope, I'm keeping mine, I like it.

- Okay, me too. - I like it too.

- Okay, final snack. - Final snack.

It seems like both of us got something big.

Ready?

Three, two, one.

It's a bread, and peanut butter and pickles?

- Exactly.

I'm gonna make for you a peanut butter and pickle sandwich.

- With pickle?

I cannot imagine the flavor.

- How do you feel about pickles in general?

- I like pickles. - Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Together they make something even more wonderful.

- Okay, I don't say I'm excited.

(laughing)

I'm interested.

So this is mochi.

When I say mochi maybe like you guys think

it's mochi ice cream it's the most popular.

When I hear mochi I immediately think this kind of mochi.

We made mochi from scratch, was very soft.

But we air dry it, and it's become very hard.

It's like a soap.

- Oh my god, it is like soap.

Like you could just put this in the shower of a hotel.

(laughing)

I'd probably be in there like okay.

(laughing)

- When you heat it up again it will become softer.

And since it's dried outside is a little bit crunchy.

And most common way I think to eat mochi

it's wrapped with seaweed, sugar, and soy sauce.
