I'm King-chan.

An-chan here.

We have a special guest.

Who do we have King?

We have Gin-chan here today, here in Togoshi Ginza Shopping Street.

Gin-chan is the official mascot.

He represents a lot of things: health, love, romance

and he normally gives you a hint of what's inside the store.

So here he has a fish.

You can guess what's inside here.

So we're outside UOKEI.

They sell sashimi!

They do Uber Eats.

This is where we're starting today.

Time to hit the streets!

Let's go!

So we've seen a bakery called HOSHINO.

I'm about to break bread with my brother, man!

Let's do it!

First thing I'm trying is curry stuffed buns.

I love my curry.

I love my buns.

So we're getting this little bacon and egg pizza looking thing.

Looks delicious!

Yakisoba?!?!

So I got melon pan.

I even found my friend on this!

What's up Gin-chan?!

First up we have our curry-stuffed bun.

Smells delicious.

Cheers!

I like that buddy!

Me too, it's got the crunchy outside, rich curry

and ooey gooey inside!

You can taste all the vegetables inside.

Loving that crunchy part though.

I'm liking that, man!

So this is bacon and egg, almost like a pizza!

Very doughy looking.

Mm..

Cheers!

Giving me a sausage egg McMuffin vibe.

Sausage egg biscuit.

And the bun tastes more like a croissant.

Very doughy of course.

It would've been perfect if it had the Yakitate sign.

Which means freshly baked.

Fresh and warm.

I got my guy Gin-chan with us and he's presenting a nice little smile for us.

I got this melon bread!

Very popular in the Japanese culture.

Sweet dessert, sweet treat.

Mmm.

Tastes like a cake!

It's soft in the middle.

Crunchy on the outside, nice soft flakes on the inside.

Tastes like I'm biting into a cloud.

No stay in Japan is complete without a melon bun!

So we have a lot more to explore.

This is a street you just go down, and check the spots out.

Just explore Japan.

Ya'll know what that is!

True definition of streetfood.

Japanese streetfood at that.

Looks like a cool little spot right here.

Alright guys, we're here at the second location.

It's a Hokkaido speciality shop.

Ya'll remember the video we did on that.

I see caviar!

Fish eggs!

What else do they have?

Gyoza!

They have ice cream and they also have Kakuni buns!

Which we're about to give a try right now.

These are the delicious flavors of the gyoza.

We're going to try NIRA (garlic chive), the dark green one.

Let's give this a try I'm pretty excited.

So we have a our Kakuni Bun!

This one is soft all over!

Really creamy in the middle.

It's a little doughy and its a sweet kind of taste.

Sweet and salty a little bit.

I think it is cheese!

Definitely a win with this one!

Do you like gyoza?

Yes!

This gyoza doesn't need sauce.

Thank you!

Next up we have gyoza.

I think their favorite flavors were veggie, corn, mushroom

and GARLIC CHIVE.

Let's dive in here...

Oh, hot!!

This definitely is the garlic chive one.

It's not your normal sized gyoza.

See how stuffed that is?!

That's TEXAS size right there!

Mouth-watering!

Speechless.

What's your favorite An-chan?

I don't know that's a tough decision.

The gyoza was pretty good.

I definitely like that kakuni bun.

Definitely savory, definitely tasty!

Let's see what our next spot is.

Let's ride!

What a sweet lady!

Would you believe I'm over 85?!

What do you sell here?

Jonamagashi, mostly!

This is jonamagashi.

These were presented as tribute to the imperial family.

Wow, this is nice!

So we'e here getting wagashi.

What's wagashi?

Traditional Japanese sweets.

All of these wagashi are themed for the season.

Chrysanthymum, dried persimmon, bamboo I see an egg yolk.

Different, beautiful, perfect little bites!

Guys, this is a special sweets shop.

The treats have been sold to the imperial family as a tribute.

Shout out to the Reiwa.

This one is catching my eye right here.

The bamboo.

Let's try this, give it a taste.

Oh man, that's good!

Has that sweet bean taste inside.

Ooey gooey outside, ooey gooey inside!

Delicious!

Go ahead, give one a taste, An-chan!

Dun-dunnn.

What have we here?!

Mm.

It's pretty good.

The red bean middle is dancing on my tastebuds.

This is dried persimmon.

Let's give it a taste.

This one is ALL red bean!

Very tasty.

Gotta catch 'em all!

Mmm that's not red beans at all!

Definitely thinner.

That last treat was shiro-an.

Which is made of a white bean, which is a little thinner and more delicate

than a red bean.

I think this one is gonna be red bean.

Chestnut!

There's chestnut inside...on an open fire!

This one's thick!

Red bean middle, chestnut top!

Just like it sounds.

My personal favorite was the bamboo.

My favorite was the shiro-an, the white beans it was my favorite because it caught me off guard.

So she gave us a nice little treat.

So nice of her!

It has a breaded outside.

Umai!

So she actually gave us some treats to go.

So nice of her.

Thank you!

Thank YOU!

So we're ending today, we had a great time today here in Togoshi Ginza.

I'm An-chan, and I'm King-chan and we're here with Yummy Japan.

We definitely found something good to eat on these Japanese streets!

What do we have next?...
