Good morning and welcome to a very snowy Iwate Prefecture.

Transition words & phrases

I'm joined by my friend norm today because norm wanted to come out here to the middle of nowhere in the countryside to experience some snow because it's pretty rare down in Southern Japan, you don't see snow very much in Tokyo.

But up here in the north we get it every day for months in the winter.

We're going to go on a little snowy adventure today.

I've brought us out to hit me which is a very historically important area of, there was lots of power here.

So because the city is so important, it's been really well preserved and it's just beautiful.

It's quite a small area, but it's gorgeous.

Today's snowy Adventure is very nicely sponsored by glasses usa dot com.

If you guys are in the market for a new pair of frames, you know, I love them and I highly recommend them.

They have so, so many different styles of glasses.

There's something for everybody and you can get a full pair of prescription lenses and frames for a very affordable price.

They also have a full money back guarantee on all the frames.

So if for some reason you're not happy with the frames you chose, you can get your money back.

So do check those out but onto the exciting temple, which we have figured out it's a temple.

It's not a shrine flashback right now we're looking up, this is a buddhist temple, but there's a shrine gate, right there, a torii gate and we're trying to figure out why That is really cool.

I had no idea, just learned something new.

I was trying to catch snowflakes norms way too excited, we get snow maybe once a year in Tokyo and this year we kind of didn't stated and at night and this is beautiful, it is very nice, I have to say it has been snowing nonstop for months up here in but this is really beautiful, like the temples look extra pretty in the snow.

I'm not gonna lie so I'm happy I could bring you guys out here and show it to you but this is to cocoa note it's a very cool buddhist temple that's built into the side of a cliff, how awesome is that?

I was last year in the summer pond, small lake usually fishing here.

I have always wondered what happens to all the koi that are out in these ponds in the winter.

Are they just frozen in time until it melts maybe on the way out.

I can ask the guy that too, that's a good idea.

Probably one of my favorite things about coming up to Northern Japan is that you can come out to places like this is almost always no one.

Even in the summer when it was like really nice weather, there was nobody here.

There's no hornets when I came here in this summer.

I'm just excited about the snow more than.

It's actually a really nice contrast of you've got the open field, got the houses here, the forest, the mountain.

This probably changes a lot season by season.

It does, it's so pretty in the fall with the golden rice fields that looks like it's probably a Sakura tree definitely is.

This town is actually famous for mochi, mochi is fantastic and they have this style of serving it that I've never seen anywhere else in Japan.

But yeah, I'll just say that, leave it as a surprise, but I hope you like it.

They're alive and they dig their way into the dirt.

They're just waiting there learning new things every day.

This is my lucky day, I think is the name of it.

It's just a little roadside station, but they do serve the special.

I think I can't read the kanji, but I'm pretty sure this is it.

$10 You can spit it out on us, then you take your ticket and you give it to them at the counter here.

I'm starting to wonder if there are actually wasps.

You're just imagining these non existent wasps, wow, it's different flavors than last time.

Okay, so last time I got it there was a NATO one.

But this time I don't see, I think charlotte has this like really malicious plan that she was gonna have me eat like natto mochi and like that wasn't the only bad one though.

The last time I gave there was a NATO one, there was a shrimp one, it was all over the place, but this time it actually looks really good.

So I think you might like it, which is good.

This is Zenda which is soybean but it's usually sweet, this is red bean paste, also sweet, black sesame, which should be delicious.

We've got she packet, deep fried tofu pocket.

This one looks like some kind of citrusy peanut and this one might be chicken.

I don't know but let's dig in, enjoy coming in here.

There was this atmosphere of like, I'm gonna get you with Smokey, I'm gonna get you and I feel like we ended up with really good Maki and charlotte's plan has backfired.

No, I'm very happy that it's good flavors.

I recommend starting with the savory ones and working your way to the sweet ones.

I thought they forgot to put the mochi in mind because last time it was like three mochi on each road.

So it's an energy tofu pocket with mochi inside.
