Hey guys! Good morning! I'm hanging out with Taylor again

First we are gonna go... I hope the first thing we are doing is the lunch!

I only ate those little oranges, that's it

We were editing our vlogs this morning so we didn't have time to get ready

So we rushed to get here, it's like 3pm now

So yeah we're going to have some Japanese kaiseki lunch

It's kind of a fancy Japanese lunch, so I'm excited for that. Never done that before!

And then we are going to do some sword fighting!

They're gonna teach us how to sword fight

and we're actually gonna cut some stuff, with real swords

So grab a cup of tea and some cookies, and I hope you guys enjoy this!

Yay! We found the person that we were here to meet!

We met her and we're gonna head to sword fighting

We're gonna get some food from the convenience store

Because I'm so hungry and I think if I try to do any form of exercise right now

Oh this one has English on it, but they call it "sea chicken"

Yeah weird eh? It's like a lasagna onigiri

I got some tea so I guess I don't need a drink

They bring it back every winter, it's really really yummy

So we just got changed, this is what we're wearing

It looks like there's lots of other people practicing here

This is so much cooler than my dojo in Canada

It's some kind of calligraphy towel, so I'll take a look at that later

Rolling up these bamboo mats and we're going to cut them!

with the swords later! Hopefully! If we do it properly

We're actually gonna cut this in a minute

First we need to imagine how we're going to cut it

First bring the sword to the point you will cut

In through your nose and out through your mouth

The angle isn't the same as your kimono right?

You want it to match your kimono, so about there

They wear this when they're going to fight

They wear this during preparations before battle

It's really detailed with gold and super pretty

It's the real version of what we wore when we did the samurai photoshoot

So I'd like to present you with this certificate

I haven't done martial arts in a while so it was really cool to get back into it

I'm really really happy that I actually cut the tatami

Because that would have been really sad if I couldn't have cut it for my video

I was able to do it! It was pretty difficult

The sword was really heavy and my arms started to get really tired

I was really scared I was gonna drop the sword so I held on really tight

We're gonna take the train to a close by station and go have some dinner!

You guys often ask me if there's English in the stations

For the most part (if not always) there's English directions

We just arrive at the restaurant and this is what the table setting looks like

It's super fancy and the chefs are right behind the counter here

And there's one more room in the back with two tables

That's it, it's really small and private, it's nice

We serve kaiseki cuisine, which is a Japanese traditional food

It was born out of the tea ceremony in the 16th century
