  • everyone, Welcome to my house.

  • Welcome back.

  • I don't know if you know this about me, but I am a sucker for trying new things and love it so much.

  • And that's why Japan such a great place for me because there's so many new things to try.

  • But one thing that I love trying a lot is new foods and especially specifically new fruits.

  • I don't know if you've seen her, but I follow you to be cold and me made in Japan.

  • She is amazing.

  • I think she's great.

  • She's lovable and wonderful.

  • Now I mean, is this Siri's cold first fruits where she orders of eyes, new fruits to try occasionally and they're just the craziest, wackiest fruits I've ever seen.

  • And so I have been in Japan.

  • I've had the blessing in the opportunity to try, and you for it to be in here.

  • And I thought I would just give that kind of style ago because I want to review these fruits.

  • I want to share my experiences with you guys.

  • I don't know if you're that interested in fruit on you foods or anything, but I am, and I'm super pumped to do this so all credit for this kind of idea goes towards every made of Japan legal into a channel description down below, if you want to check it out.

  • But she is awesome, but I think she's wonderful.

  • So last night I just got back from Kyushu.

  • I was down there for Chris Broad's journey across Japan trip, so I got to be some cycling with him on, and we managed to stop off at a fruit market or a vegetable market in Kagoshima.

  • I was looking through the soles and everything, seeing what I could find, and I found this thing called and in bed.

  • I've never seen them before in my entire life, said a little bit papel little bit pink.

  • And I say that the appearance is kind of like maybe a sweet potato mixed with a mango, but they're a little bit soft to the touch.

  • Something a little bit of research into Bay and Under is only the name of their use in Kagoshima.

  • It's very specific to that area, so they also called a bunch of other things and it also known as movie talk.

  • You are our baby Coco or who you be, but There's also other things that now apparently these only grow in China, Taiwan and Japan.

  • If you've seen these before in your country, please let me know.

  • And if you tried them before because, honestly, I don't really know what I'm doing.

  • I looked up as much as I can in Japan is all.

  • They're quite rare.

  • And apparently they don't really sell for much money, but not that popular.

  • So I got the bag of these for I think it was 150 in.

  • So a dollar 50 which for Japan is, um, pretty pretty dang good.

  • Maybe there's a reason that they don't sell them too much.

  • Maybe they don't Actually, second dinner also found out when these grow in the wild, uh, using monkeys eat that one of the main things that helps him spread their seeds around because they eat the states in the hope amount.

  • So I just get to it on crack.

  • One of these bad boys I've been have a little look inside.

  • Okay?

  • I'm gonna cut vertically.

  • I think I'm just gonna cut all the way through.

  • So here you go.

  • I can feel the seeds that I'm hitting the skin's a bit tough.

  • Cut that very night spot.

  • Here we go.

  • Oh, make it a smell.

  • Smells like a custard apple.

  • If you guys had a custard apple used to go there back in Australia.

  • Very sweet.

  • Almost like, Kind of like honey.

  • Very fruity.

  • Very sweet because it's for free.

  • Although this is quite a lot of juice in here, actually.

  • Quite surprised.

  • Okay, let's just Oh, it's very easy to get out.

  • It comes out so nicely.

  • Actually, I'm gonna I'm gonna do something.

  • I want to see what it looks like.

  • Full skipped out.

  • Oh, wow.

  • Look at that.

  • So strange.

  • Look at that.

  • Very jelly.

  • Like, and apparently you can eat the skin, but it's just a bit tough.

  • I think you might need to cook it, but I'm really gonna focus on this.

  • Just sort of Look at that.

  • What is this very jelly like?

  • Okay, I might just take half of that Well, and the scenes are no edible.

  • I think so.

  • I'm just gonna just gonna try and eat them and spit it out.

  • Maybe like a pomegranate.

  • There'll be so many states, so that uh huh.

  • Okay.

  • How can I describe that it's kind of like a custard apple, but with the texture of passion.

  • Fruit is very jelly like I don't know if this one might be a little too right.

  • I got kind of like a like Do you know the taste of fruit when it's just a little bit too right?

  • Just a little bit like, But it's still really delicious.

  • I'm in a little bit the after Carter Stoeckel it of the stuff of the siege, talking about time.

  • So under actually gonna try one.

  • It's a little bit harder and see if that's a different taste, cause that one does taste a little bit like it's a bit too right.

  • Alright, let's try this one.

  • Oh, yeah, All right.

  • Some of the other one don't know.

  • Okay, the harder one was definitely a lot nice up.

  • The other one is a little bit too right.

  • It kind of felt a little bit like it was starting to ferment, but this one is just sweet.

  • It really taste like a custard apple a little bit.

  • I know slimy is not a good word.

  • It's not very attractive and tantalizing, but is a little bit you are passion fruit textures like jelly and sticky stuff, that kind of thing.

  • But this there is a lot of seen, so you don't actually get too much fruit in the fruit.

  • It's just let us see.

  • It's a little bit of juice, but the flavor is great.

  • I could kind of understand why these don't sell for too much because you don't actually get too much fruit with the fruit.

  • It doesn't really fill you up in any way, but they're still super delicious.

  • If you ever in Japan, definitely keep your eye out.

  • I mean, I have been here for three years.

  • This is the first time I've seen them.

  • But maybe if you go on a journey to a more remote location, they might be selling some of these now.

  • I don't actually want to stop there.

  • I do want to introduce for more food.

  • Teoh.

  • I've actually had this many, many times before, but I'm excited about it, and I don't want to just cook it by myself, not sharing with you guys.

  • So in Australia, we call this a choco I've looked at.

  • It's a toy Otay squash in America or wherever else hasn't so in Japanese this is called a high of 20.

  • I believe this is actually quite a large one.

  • I'm not gonna lie.

  • It's one of the big ones the next day in my life.

  • But this is the first time that I've seen them in Japan.

  • I used to get them all the time in Australia and cook them up.

  • I looked up lots of recipes and you could make really nice chutneys and you could pickle them, Which sounds super git.

  • But I've never done any of that before.

  • Always Just had it.

  • Just this part of maybe a seven vegetables Just cut it out and have it as it iss some, as you know, as salt, some pepper give a bit of flavor, but the main thing I don't know why, but the main thing I love is the seed.

  • So I'm gonna cut it open and show you guys the seed with the tiniest seed ever disappointed.

  • So this is what the inside of a choker looks like.

  • The main difficulty with these guys is you have to peel the skin off and there's so many bridges.

  • So you're just gonna be careful If you want to learn how to do?

  • Probably look up a how to.

  • Because I'm not gonna be the best guide for that.

  • The taste is quite plain.

  • I would relate.

  • It kind of like to a daikon or a big Japanese radish.

  • It's quite watery.

  • But when you add it with other flavors, it really soaks in the flavour.

  • So this is a checker.

  • Okay, so I'm frying the potato and choco together.

  • I just looked at this recipe online, so hopefully it tastes good about it.

  • Just salt.

  • Pepper may be allowed some source or something, so I forgot to mention earlier the choco.

  • That juice is actually kind of a weird feeling on your skin tends to dry you out, so just keep that in mind when you're cutting, it's gonna feel a little bit with Mm.

  • That's good.

  • It does really soak up the flavor of everything around it.

  • So kind of like potato right now.

  • Okay.

  • So this is something you fruit.

  • If you guys are interested in this kind of thing, I love it.

  • I personally love trying anything.

  • So I was wondering if you're interested.

  • I was thinking of starting a new kind of serious where I just tried something.

  • He doesn't have to be fruits and vegetables.

  • Just make a big ocean state market, grab anything and review it because there's a lot of things in Japan I've never tried before.
