Okay, here we are travelers are finally coming back to Tokyo, coming back to Japan and they've been asking me what my favorite convenience store snacks are.

So in this video I wanted to share with you all the favorite snacks I've been eating this season and believe me, I've tried a lot and I've narrowed it down and put it all in this video so that when you come to Japan you go to the convenient, you can go straight down the aisle, find that perfect snack, grab it and you'll be on your way.

So yeah, this video is for you, the traveler coming back to Japan.

Let's get our food on number one.

Salmon and cream cheese on a giddy by family mark.

Today we have this little beauty.

I think this is the only only giddy that I'll be showing today.

It is the salmon cream cheese on a bagel with the salmon cream cheese, golden golden pair.

I've seen some golden pears in my life.

What I like about it is that it has quite a lot of filling.

Someone get at the convenient and there's just not a lot of insides too, it's kind of empty.

Whereas this one has quite a bit and you can see just from the top how much it has, but usually they put a lot on top and then not, not so much inside, but this one that's quite a bit and we kind of break this open in front of the camera.

Yeah, it's quite a bit, it's a little bit misleading because it has everything.

But you can even see the cheese just right there.

This is not like a regular sliced salmon.

It's like the tiki where they've kind of minced it up.

Try my voice just cracked.

Right?

Yeah, it's not like, so, so you would think of salmon doesn't have that strong salmon taste because I think it's been minced a little bit.

So it's probably lost a lot of that fishy taste.

Nonetheless, it is a good snack for, you know, if you're getting on the train you're traveling, you put it into your pocket is made to be put inside of like, well, not if you have your tight jeans on.

You see a lot of travelers with cargo pants on and put them in the, oh, this is a perfect travel on a giddy number two thin potato, anchovy and mayonnaise by Kalbe.

So, Michael, this is another one of my favorites for this season.

It is the anchovy, mayonnaise potato chip from Kelby.

So this Kalbe, thin potato is actually one of their newer product lines and you know, usually have like a thin chip, flat or like little crinkly, but they've actually taken the chips and the kind of like folded them over and then added these interesting flavors to it.

And this is anchovy, mayonnaise.

It smells so good.

Take a bite.

All right.

I'm trying to make it look good for the camera.

Mm I just love the mixture of anchovy and mayonnaise.

It's such a cool combination.

I don't think I've ever had it before.

Maybe other people have, but it's a first for me.

Have you ever had anchovy mayonnaise?

I feel like I have a classy restaurant going to you don't, you're not going to like Mcdonald's or KFC or even like a nice steak restaurant, a steakhouse.

So, crunchy here.

This it even says vitamin E top means like it has a lot of vitamin E.

So this is like my favorite and their series and then there's actually something a little bit newer that is Michael's favorite.

This one is there honey butter flavor.

So if you don't like anchovy mayonnaise and you want something a little bit sweeter, then this is probably where you want to go.

Mm hmm.

This almost could be like a chip that you get like a Disneyland.

You know, in the little popcorn places, this could be like one of the flavors, honey butter mixed together.

What would you call it?

Michael?

A golden pear.

Why are you laughing number three strawberry fruits.

So, this one is like another kind of a smaller brand.

Like kind of been enjoying finding like, you know, not the big name brands, but to show you guys stuff that's not really out there.

Hopefully Hoshi fruits doesn't get were a major brand.

We have 100 and 50 stores all throughout japan.

So, this one is, it is a ichigo dive coup.

And whether they're small or large, they are super, super delicious.

It is a frozen treat.

This is basically what it is.

It's so white.

You can kind of see right there.

It's frozen.

But yeah, it is.

But yeah, even if it's been frozen, you can feel like it's a little bit of texture.

I'm trying to like get it so it looks like I'm gonna try.

I'm gonna try to like, so it's like sliced wow has like an outer mochi layer and it has a real strawberry in the middle cream in the center.

It is so good.

I can't say enough about this real strawberry is straight from the convening mochi itself is pretty sweet frosting for like two hours.

Oh, I've been eating it straight.

I don't know.

I've never tried.

If you guys want to try it, you can defrost it for an hour and a half, two hours.

Or you can just be like me and eat it straight out of the bag.

Number four stamina mon by family mart.

Okay, Michael, I am bringing the heater with this one.

When I say bringing the heater.

What do you think?

I mean this is the heater because it is a steamed bun.

It is their stamina, steamed bun.

Let me just take a bite and show you what all this loveliness is all about because I've been in love with this thing, I put all of my, my heater's in my pocket.

This meat bun was supervised by suit Adonia, which is a fast food chain in japan that sells meaty pork bowls, just like their bowls.

It's filled with a garlicky pork with a runny egg yolk sauce.

Yeah, I love the egg yolk sauce as it creates a sticky texture and that's kind of like a garlic soy sauce flavor.

It is quite meaty compared to your regular meat.

Really meaty, but it's meat because it's meat taste like No, but by quantity, I don't think, I think the quantity was just actually pretty volume number five pokey.

Salted caramel flavor by Glick.

Oh, this is my winter special pokey because it is limited edition.

It's a salted caramel, pokey, flavorful, delicious.

And it comes in a pack of two.

Okay, always comes up with different flavors for the summer spring.

This is the one for the winter.

This is this is a salted flavor nous that I've come to love this season.

Mm It is so thick, basically, pokey is the cracker biscuit center and then you have whatever flavor that they put around the pokey, like dipped in this caramel just seems thicker than if you were to have like chocolate or something.

Hey, don't drop my, okay, there's the broken, it's okay.

I didn't like the end part Anyway, just go straight for the chocolate caramel.

What do you think I like?

Salted caramel myself.

I feel like it's quite salty whenever it's salty, it brings up more sweetness and burn smells nice, butter caramel and salt.

Can't go wrong there.

Right.

This one's addictive, addictive, addictive addictive.

You said it right the first.

Number six goes to two and this is a bowl of Robin sent from the heavens.

Okay.

Tori dot ooh look at that creamy chicken soup man, I was so excited when I saw this on the shelf because you know you and I actually went to this place in kyoto.

Do you remember?

It's amazing.

Are you pumped?

You sound deflated Anyways.

That place was so good.

It has the thickest creamiest soup ever.

It was really really good.

We actually did a video like 23 years ago I think.

Just looking at the like when you put all the sauce ingredients, it's not as thick as the actual ramen shop but still thick enough And it is so let me just have a taste of this right now.

Kind of see the thickness, you can see the onions inside.

Green onions, there's some pork and I'm getting some bamboo as well.

Mm Oh that is so thick and creamy.

There's just so much umami in this, what I like about this soup is so good.

You just want to drink it interesting because it's like a chicken soup but then there's pork here as well.

I don't know I've had a lot of romans.

This one has so much flavor is so much money in this.

Yeah there is like a sweetness to it.

You can see kind of like how thick it is as well, actual soup is still clinging onto the noodles.

This one makes me smile if you can't go all the way to kyoto, you can actually get this here.

Number seven mini asparagus biscuit white chocolate.

Apparently asparagus is an old time japanese snack from about 50 years ago.

During that time Asparagus started to be imported as a high end vegetable.

They thought to be cold.

And in the biscuit after that this one just looks like a regular biscuit just looking at it kind of looks like it's kind of dipped in milk.

But in fact it's a chocolate infused.

Is it really infused?

I didn't know it was infused.

I thought it was just like a light layer on the outside.

Like sucked up the chocolate.

So here are the biscuits right here.

It's very deceptive because just like a regular biscuit, right?

Michael is a little bit mad because the other day I actually gave Wolfy, we don't give him chocolate ever.

He's still too young.

And I gave him one of these like it looked like one of those animal crackers.

And I had like cow or owl.

And apparently it had the same chocolate dipping technology.

It was infused with chocolate.

I didn't know it's a long story short, I made a mistake but these are quite good.

Let's take a bite.

Mm It is really chocolatey.

So I mean it's your regular biscuit but it is infused with chocolate.

I don't know if they have this in the U.

S.

I think this is new.

I wonder how they do that.

But you can see that it is like a little bit of like a white layer.

It looks like it came out if you guys have this or something like this in your country.

Let me know and again.

Yeah, they put it into kids snacks nowadays to number eight.

Maybe flavored pistachio by Kagura.

This one is a little bit different.

We are going a little green on this one with pistachios.

But what's interesting about these is they are Wasabi flavor.

This doesn't even have a brand.

I wonder how these small companies get into the company.

Just look inside the bag, smells more like pistachios.

Here are the little little seeds, little beans, no beans about it.

These are good.

Alright, just take a bite that'll kick your beans into the dirt.

Yeah, the Wasabi is quite strong and obviously it's a real pistachio in here but kind of like a salted Wasabi.

It's not like the one chip challenge or anything like that but it has that Wasabi kind of open up your lungs and pathways like whoa, that's perfect.

If you're on the train you're on the go drinking well you're on the go and drinking but then you want some nuts.

Number nine do do big cheesecake by Morinaga.

So these are tried and true frozen snack.

These are like little baked cheesecake ice balls.

These are fun and delicious.

These little funny guys right?

But that's not actually how they look like they look more like this little balls.

Oh I guess you let me just let me redo that Yeah, there you go.

You know just me, I like to do things.

I just there you go.

Is that better.

Is that more presentable.

Mm So basically you have kind of like a white chocolate coating and then you have these cheesecake visit crumbs and then you have inside the ice cream.

That's also kind of like a cheesecake flavor.

All in all, it's like a perfect pop in your mouth tree.

Like, you know, do you even say it it's called Paquito And like just Paquito, paco is like to eat in japan.

Like pacman and number 10 family ma the crepe cheese from family mart.

This one is a local dessert.

Local dessert.
