  • hey guys!!

  • welcome back to Tokyo

  • I'm down here for a couple days to do my monthly

  • packing for my stationery business with

  • my business partner Ushka!

  • Or I would be

  • if she hadn't tested positive for COVID yesterday,

  • but luckily Ushka's house is divided into two

  • there's the airbnb area down here where I always stay,

  • and her house is separate

  • so Ushka is currently quarantining in her house at the moment

  • and I won't get to see her this trip at all,

  • which is a bummer but luckily

  • because her house is separated I could

  • still come here and get our work done for our business

  • so here in Japan when you test positive for COVID

  • the government actually sends you a free

  • care package so that you can stay inside

  • your home and you don't need to go out

  • for groceries so that's what these

  • three giant boxes behind me are this is

  • her care package that just arrived

  • I got the delivery for her and she's kindly

  • enough allowed me to open it for you

  • guys and show you what's inside what you

  • get here so there were some posts going

  • around on twitter and instagram that

  • went kind of viral and everyone was kind

  • of confused as to how the Japanese

  • government free care package system worked

  • these aren't for anybody that's just quarantining so when

  • I came back from my trip overseas and I

  • had to quarantine in my house for two weeks

  • I wasn't eligible for one of these

  • but if you've tested positive you are

  • eligible for one of these you just need

  • to contact your local health center and

  • apply for it and they will have somebody

  • come deliver it to your house

  • supposedly there is one week's worth of food inside here

  • I'm very curious to see what kind

  • of things they have sent the packages

  • are quite large so let's open them up

  • and see what's inside

  • *music and rustling*

  • oh wow

  • all right so the first thing we have is

  • two packs of caramel corn these are

  • a really sweet treat with roasted peanuts

  • in them I do like these

  • these caught my eye these are really

  • yummy they're kind of like

  • an energy bar like a quick snack to take

  • on the go you can get these at the

  • conbini they're made from soy this is

  • strawberry and this is the chocolate and

  • almond version ooh next we have some

  • tarako spaghetti sauce tarako is a cod

  • roe I believe

  • and some pasta to go with it this is

  • like the most popular brand of pasta at

  • the supermarket so they haven't cheaped

  • out here they've given us the good stuff

  • green tea with

  • some matcha powder in it

  • 50 bags very generous

  • oh i've never seen these before these

  • are

  • liquid

  • calorie mate so calorie mate is like an

  • energy bar it's kind of like a meal

  • replacement bar they have quite a few

  • calories in them and they're supposed to

  • just be something you can quickly eat on

  • the go that has some vitamins and

  • minerals in it and I guess these are the

  • liquid version we've got

  • café au lait and fruit mix flavor don't

  • know what those taste like the bars

  • themselves are pretty good though so

  • probably pretty yummy five six of those

  • six cans of those next we've got some

  • tanuki

  • tempura soba

  • another famous brand lots of fruit

  • jellies

  • five fruit jellies jelly with chunks of

  • fruit inside

  • beans

  • mixed beans I think these are cooked you

  • can just eat them as is

  • two packages of those

  • chicken daikon chicken and radish this

  • is like a

  • pre-cooked meal dish that you just need

  • to microwave or boil in hot water

  • little packages of salad dressing

  • don't know

  • what they expect you to eat those with

  • I don't think they give you any fresh

  • produce in these packs we will see in

  • the next box

  • oh another fruit jelly that makes six

  • and a can of mixed fruit

  • four harusame soup noodles this one is

  • egg flavor and this one is seaweed and

  • vegetable

  • oh green dakara this stuff is really

  • good this is kind of like a sports drink

  • to replace any minerals you've lost from

  • sweating a lot very common to drink this

  • when you're sick so it's nice that they

  • give you a bottle of this another can of

  • mixed fruit two bottles of vegetable

  • juice that looks very tomatoe-y

  • not my favorite hopefully Ushka likes

  • tomatoes more than I do and some more

  • ready meals this is oyakodon

  • it's a traditional japanese dish with

  • eggs and chicken and you put this over

  • top of rice and this is chukadon which

  • means like chinese rice bowl so it's

  • kind of like a chinese style dish

  • these are ready to eat you just need to

  • heat them up you could eat them cold if

  • you wanted to but highly recommend

  • microwaving them and that is it for the

  • first box let's see what's in the second

  • one

  • oh this one comes with some

  • pamphlets so this is a guide for

  • quarantining while you have the

  • coronavirus it's quite extensive

  • wow

  • the Japanese Government also offers to

  • send you a pulse oximeter if you want to

  • measure your oxygen levels Ushka was

  • feeling not too bad so she didn't opt

  • for that but if you would like one they

  • will send one with your food box for

  • free this is amazing so this is a list

  • of every single item that's included in

  • these boxes and all the allergens that

  • are included in each product

  • that is very kind of them all right

  • let's see what's inside wow again lots

  • of very interesting stuff

  • starting off with some kanten kaisou sarada

  • so this is seaweed salad I think you

  • just need to add some water to this and

  • it rehydrates I've never had this before

  • actually but it looks kind of good this

  • looks like something that would be great

  • for when you're not feeling too good a

  • ginger vegetable soup with barley and

  • soybean meat might be vegetarian

  • actually

  • two more soups this one's minestrone

  • okayu I thought I would see some of

  • this in there so

  • back home our traditional

  • when you have a cold get better food is

  • chicken soup here in Japan it is okayu or

  • rice porridge so

  • they have sent six packages of okayu
