and I'm here in for breakfast and if you look I'm looking at it right now

I'm going to turn it around here it is in Tenmonkan, central Kagoshima, the crêpe vending machine

Now, there's a lot of interesting things about this including the owner giving his cell phone number in case there's a problem.

There's also the date to show that it's fresh; it was made yesterday on the twenty seventh

And there's like about 30 different varieties of crêpes to choose from

this one here says custard banana

this one here yeah also custard banana

Oh, they're all custard banana. But

anyways this one here says

chocolate "Nama" cream with a cake inside

this one is "Nama" caramel special

and one is a custard banana so this one has a potato in it

how weird is that

Whoa, all of them are 200 Yen, so

in this live stream from Kagoshima I'm going to unbox one of them

Which one do you think I should eat?

This one says Hershey's chocolate is inside of it I'm American, I'm sort of impartial to Hershey's

But I think maybe for breakfast, um, chocolate might be a little bit too much, huh?

The potato one huh? Maybe the caramel?

Custard looks pretty good

I think I'm going to go with the caramel with a cake inside

Well everyone's saying potato now I'm lost

I think it's going to be a big disappointment.

I think if you go with the potato it's not going to live up to expectations.

Here is the potato

And here is the "Nama" caramel.

For full disclosure I've already eaten them

And I'm going to throw that way later

But I made a vlog this morning with it and I've already eaten it

So I know which ones are the good ones.

For full disclosure.

So what do you think?

Custard sounds real good too so is that caramel

The potato I got money for two of them

I have enough money for two of them

But I really don't want to eat two crêpes

Before I start hitchhiking!

it's going to be pretty sad for the next person (who) picks me up.

Alright

they were pretty smart they put this vending machine

right where all the buses come

All the buses come, this is central entertainment area

All the buses come here going to the airport

So people are aften waiting for 30 minutes

And if you're going to be waiting for that amount of time

You're going to put a lot of vending machines

And of course you're going to put a crêpe vending machine right there

Alright; let's go for it, I'm going to put in the 200 Yen

Hahaha, the moment of truth! What's it gonna be, what's it gonna be?

I'm going to go with the caramel

You know why?

Because I know it's going to look really awesome

here we go

I'm pushing the button and then we're going to watch it come down here

Here we go; ready?

three, two, one

Oh, that's such a good sound, alright; here we are

Is that not the coolest thing?

They were so ingenious with this

They took a regular coke machine with a can

And they put it glasses in at the same shape as a can

And they put the crêpe inside of the glass jar

It's refrigerated the jar is cool

And the expiration date is on the crêpe as well

And it says here "don't throw this glass away, recycle it."

There's a recycling bin which everbody of course does it this being Japan

When you're finished with it you put the glass jar back there

but this is not the most amazing thing?

I'm just very very, just stunned with the ingenuity on

how you take something that we use abroad every day, The Coke vending machine or Pepsi vending machine

and they find a way to put a crêpe in it and sell it on the street for 200 Yen

which is more than a cola would be.

Okay, now it's time to un-box this thing while I'm holding the camera how am I supposed to do this?

I'm going, I'm going rogue, here we go

boom! Alright; recycle the glass. Here we go

It's pretty light

It's not very heavy

"Nama" caramel special

It tells the ingredients on the back; I kind of like that so you know what you're eating

alright, here we go

If I can put this camera down.

I'm using the DJI OSMO right now on this will work just fine, okay

Crêpe vending machine great 200 Yen

Looks like a crêpe

Smells like a crêpe alright

Are you ready for this? alright stay with me DJI Ozmo, hey Ozmo, hey now love and peace

I'm turning it off, here we go

Now it's time for the moment of truth we're going to bust this baby open and see

what the "Nama" caramel and cake look like

Ready?

Oh this is going to be awesome ready here we go 3, 2,1 oh yeah

Look at that, man they put in a lot of cream

You can see that caramel oozing out, look at that, whoa

Vending machine crêpe all right here we go

That's so sweet This is so darn sweet

I think the caramel's a little bit too much

They put a piece of cake in it I don't know if you can see that

So there's a piece of, I think it's Kasutera cake with bit caramel

Visually it looks really awesome but the taste is a little bit too sweet

Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to put this to the side

That's enough of that and

Should we try another one? Hmm let's see here

Gosh I could go for a coffee too

See these coffees they're all heated

And these are cold

I'll go with the coffee

Oh, they have Tully's coffee here I'm going to get that

Alright, back to the crêpe vending machine.

Alright you know what everyone was asking to go for the potato one

it says "Imo" so I'm going to go for that one, that's this one here.

Kagoshima is famous for the "Satsuma Imo"

So I'm sure it's going to be okay.

All right here we go, potato

We're going potato this time.

This is for science people and my breakfast

Alright, potato crêpe

Let's go the one in the middle

Oh; wait it's flashing! They're all sold out!

What! No! Nooo!

It's hard to see but this light here that's flashing "URIKIRE" which is sold out

Darn

Oh man, I'm sorry you're not going to get a chance to see, um, the potato one

Alright, plan C.

Alright what've we got here?

We have "Rare cheese cake" this is a "Rare cheese cake" with strawberry

Ok wait; now I'm changing my mind "Rare cheese cake with strawberry"

"Chocolate and custard"

And that's about all that's left.

And another "Nama" caramel I'm not eating that, chocolate and banana

So those are your choice custard or cheese cake we got one custard

We get some cheese cakes here

We got some chocolate cheese, they're all flashing, flashing custard strawberry

Alright looks like we're going to go for the rare cheese cake

God; now the cheese cake are really coming in

Cheesecake is gonna be like this Japanese cheese cake that's really light not heavy like the New York style

But just gonna go for it OK rare cheese with strawberry here we go

Nice! I love that sound, it's like you won something. Boom!

Looks just like the last one

Please recycle in the bin

the expiration date and here's a label telling you the ingredients on the crêpe again

This is really nice I like

I'll put the camera down again

Another unboxing

Ok

Recycle

and it says here "Rare cheese."

"Rare cheese." I don't know what that means in itself. "Rare cheese."

It's cheese I guess you can't find anywhere except for this vending machine right

Breakfast, OK

This one looks a little bit less like a crêpe

It's very light

Here we go

Busting open a rare cheese cake crêpe

Oh, there's not a lot of strawberrys in here

But it's mostly cream and that rare cheese looks pretty good

Oh wow, that cheese is in there real good

Ok, here we go!

Sweet

Needs more strawberry

That one had some strawberry in it

It's good

I think the cheese you really have to be a fan of cheese cake to like this rare cheese because it's too rich

because there's already a bunch of cream

It's like just rich cream with um

Regular cream and then there's not enough strawberry, so

It's a bit of a letdown

I like the caramel one better

I'm going to put this down too

Alright

So, all in all

A crêpe vending machine's a pretty cool idea

I like the fact that they put it right in the middle of the city

A high traffic, a high trafficked area

I like how you can recycle it right there

I like how they took a regular normal Cola vending machine, drink vending machine, and they found a way to put

cheesecake in it

not cheese cake but crêpes in it

of so many different flavors like cheese cake and custard and banana

And that's just "Cool Japan" right there.

Alright folks so; that was my breakfast it was nice to share that with you

I'm going to get a coffee try to find where the highway connects up to go up to Kumamoto

And start hitchhiking and today I'm going to make it to Kumamoto

Take a look at the castle

I'm really interested to see how Kumamoto's been doing since the earthquake happened last year

And they've reopened the castle to the cherry blossoms this year which is

sort of a really good thing

So I'm looking forward to that;

and hopefully I get there before it gets dark, so

Follow me on Instagram

Follow me here

and on YouTube I'll post some live videos

Go to the "Only in Japan go" channel

It's a new channel

That when I have enough subscribers there I'm going to be more live videos like this

Live on the spot unboxing

where I can interact with you

and then maybe make a better show that way

And also if you can't support on patron and Kickstarter

There you are

Now I got to clean up that mess

Alright John and Kagoshima over and out! Back to the road!
