miyoka version variety of apples it's very nice and it's very voluptuous can you say that for apples well voluminous voluminous this one is called the hoshino kinka and it's 180 yen each one has a different taste to it and they make juice out of it as well what's this variety what's it called pale yellow it's not called pale yellow hold on a second i'm gonna say this is called golden king the

resident vegan how do i introduce it that's true uh kiara is a vegan hi for those of you that are vegan uh kiara has a a really good instagram called tokyo vegan guide right which you can check out uh some of the vegan options here in tokyo is it hard being a vegan in japan it's becoming easier that's for sure um compared to 10 years ago when i first was here it's a lot better and yeah i think especially in places like this in aomori general they've kind of gotten the idea that there are people who don't eat fish and so yeah i mean sometimes it can still be difficult but this place is amazing there are so many vegan options and so many apples is great i love it including the ice cream including the ice cream let's go pick one up they also have apple bacon here which is wait wait that's not vegan well you're not allowed to eat that it's not vegan aha apple bacon is not bacon made from apples it's apple smoked bacon oh right good for everybody else you thought it was bacon baby did you think it was a vegan-friendly bacon like bacon made from apples i don't know but yes if you're just interested this is just a small selection of the vegan fruit oh this is vegan friendly stuff so this is only a little bit like wow oh these are famous look at that these are freeze-dried apples you can find these in tokyo in some of the kombini sometimes it's so light it's like buying air yeah i'm surprised if they put helium in it would just fly away and this is super cool i've never seen this before this is kiku jam kikwaar chrysanthemums whoa chrysanthemum jam so this is coming home with me yeah yeah the rest of the stuff isn't i have a friend named kikuchi that's the same kanji as my friend kukuchi-san look kikuchi-san you have a jam after you have your name that's pretty cool wow and what you got chocolate yes it's apple chocolate and apparently it's raw it's wonderful good for people think of diabetes then as well or other health issues excellent wow we actually have a reserve table up there so we're going to go up there and eat and drink and drink introduce us to some vegan ice cream some their regular ice creams are not vegan however they have these four types right here all of these here that are made just with apples and sugar so this one has milk you can tell from the kanji down here that is good organic sugar oh god knows probably not but that's okay i don't care it's ice cream so yeah we've got three different kinds we've got the akane the fuji hoshino kinka and oring and i think i've had a lot of fuji apples because i hang out in nagano so i'm

one i have a friend named makani too akane kikuchi it's such a beautiful look at this one i want to shrink myself and jump in there it's so hot here in america mugwort whoa isn't that like a it's a japanese harry potter isn't that a mugwort was one of those harry potter yeah hogwarts oh hogwarts sorry that could be a good gelato as well i thought it was mugwort no hogwarts okay you can't you've been calling this ice cream it's not ice cream it's such a lot do you say sherbet or sorbet what's the difference i think it's the same thing isn't it i don't know i think if you're like americans say sherbet and they're trying to be fancies they survey sorbet i don't know we always try to be fancy but yes a lot of gelato is um if properly made is vegan friendly oh i'm so excited you like to try one john yeah i'll try one i'm gonna get you oh you got the triple it almost pays for itself you might as well get a triple why why get a single when you can get a triple it's only 100 yen difference i'm really intrigued with this oh all right oh look at that isn't it beautiful this is apple sorbet and it's mine you can move it away i'm just keep making sounds until you walk away [Music] how to scare people away sing at them and there she goes our resident vegan so they can't do samples here that could be interesting are you going for that i've never tried he's going corn ice cream [Music] it's kind of corny which flavor do you want to have i'm going to go with the um this local uh i'm going to go with the triple uh triple a tripod that's a tripod uh jisake this is japanese sake flavored ice cream what the heck this is awesome uh did you get the hogwarts i'm not getting the mugwort it's not hogwarts it's and sakura akane because i know i have a friend named akane yeah so i got japanese sake um cherry blossom and apple akane apples pretty cool and then we're gonna try this and and see how it is we're eating it for you because you can't make it to japan right has anybody watching ever had corn flavored gelato i can't imagine anybody's ever had that you can't imagine that people by making that japan kind of corny yeah somebody had to say it hi did you pay for yours or should i pay for i only carry hundreds uh it's a new new payment system corn in a coin you wanted a corn in a cone say that ten times okay while he's getting his corn i'm gonna go over here and sit down all right there's loads of different restaurants here we're actually gonna go upstairs and eat this is this gonna take some time okay i'm gonna go upstairs and eat this um peter's gonna bring his corn ice cream and we're gonna come back down and do some more shopping but i thought i thought we'd need a table and they actually reserved a special table for us check this out on the second floor they have um like barrels of apple juice what and you can try all these different kinds look at this machine here so they have all these different kinds of cider so you can you can imbibe uh on some of these ciders and it's a hundred yen 200 yen and 300 and based on the size this is pretty interesting so you got to buy a card for it so this whole section is reserved for only in japan because it's pretty insane i want to sit in that tall chair but this is cool ah it's been a pretty long day i don't know if you saw the other live streams but we left uh off of uh the tokyo station platform about four and a half hours ago destination shin aomori on a special ceremonial shinkansen train um they're about 150 people that that signed up to join in i want to say thank you especially to my friend mike mike connolly who who who uh was one of the people who who volunteered so much of his time in the tohoku uh after the tsunami and and earthquake um one of the most uh generous and kind people that i and best friends that i have here in japan i haven't seen him in ages so i'm hoping to get to ishinomaki with him and kind of retrace our tracks from 10 10 years ago when we were up there and see if we can find some of the people that we met and relive uh some of the stories that might be something we kind of want to put it behind us because we have we were very traumatized of what we saw and the stories that we heard this is just now a part of who we are and yeah mike is a good friend and i hope to introduce him in on the series sometime we didn't get a chance to really see him because we were trying to film an echiban episode before this melts here let's try this now this is sake sake um apple almoddy apple and cherry blossom and i thought this would be fun to try together let's go for the apple first this is akane and there's little pieces of apple in there wow that's really good it just tastes fresh like they made it this morning very good i didn't even know that there was an akane apple there are so many varieties of apples in aomori that you just don't know andreas thank you i saw that i'm doing good andreas i appreciate you chiming in here it's nice to hear from you this here is cherry oh cherry blossom have you ever had cherry blossom ice cream before there's little pieces of cherry blossom in it i don't know if you can see that but we're gonna see how it is cherry blossom tastes salty cherry blossom is a very unique flavor it tastes there's a saltiness to it but there's a floral floral taste as well so it's kind of a floral sweet floral semi-sweet fresh saltiness that's the only way i can can describe cherry blossom but it tastes like the the cherry blossoms and the confections oh there's a piece a pink piece of cherry blossom in here it is salty um i don't know if it goes well with the apple but i i guess the two of them are mixing together now they also have um a lot of the reason why i like the a factory and i wanted to really introduce this to you the a stands for apple or aomori or amazing and this is a like a place where all of the local businesses can sell some of their goods so if they package some some good and that's made here in alanwoody they sell it here and i really like this especially for small business owners there's no there's a couple of big manufacturers here but not many most of them are really small vendors that are apple growers that have some product that they want to bring to market they sell it here and i'm somebody who really likes to support local businesses because as a youtube creator i'm i'm one of them too i like i think of myself as that and having places like this is really good and it makes me happy to introduce them to you so you know if you do come up to aomori you gotta check out this a factory just for like even if it's just for ice cream we're gonna take you down and check out they have nitro coffee but a local coffee chain here so you can step away from from the uh start the starbucks inside the station and come out here and get a coffee and support the local businesses this is gonna take forever because i have sensitive teeth [Music] oh that is really good so inside here the cherry blossom saltiness mixed in with with another part of the tongue that um that i would say is sake if you ever had the sake pbg is downstairs let's call him peter bring your corn ice cream up here where's your corn ice cream oh sorry it's my fault actually it's my fault i'm sorry i didn't couldn't find his backpack somebody hit it it wasn't me he has it now um he's not no peter wouldn't do that so um after we finish this ice cream i'm going to take you and show you some of the other shops inside of here and then i want to take you outside and show you what they're doing on the beach this is they're making a little for the summer there's a construction zone and they're putting in a sand beach which is going to be amazing so i'm hoping that right now we have a fourth wave of uh of the pandemic in 2021 it's a tough time but um maybe by the end of summer uh things will open up i've got my fingers crossed and i'm sure a lot of you do too about traveling to japan there's gonna be a sandy beach that they're putting here and it's gonna make it feel more i don't know fun and i've been coming to elmwoody for 20 20 some years now i love it up here yeah the sake ice cream is really good let me see if i can get you let me dig into the bottom and get get some of it for you here so here is the sake ice cream it kind of looks kind of looks the same as the cherry blossom i'm sorry i didn't know you you missed your bag i did not hide it look at that this is the corn flavored you're saying you're saying duty oh did i that was a mistake corn corn people corn flavored gelato can you actually see little kernels in there no it's corn baby is it good it's corn there's i can taste them it's not smooth it's chunky oh it's chunky is it like a sweet corn or is it more like a popcorn tasty hello tasta kron nice to you um typically gelato has the flavors are very very rich yeah more so than ice cream this one is not it's good it's not as rich as i would expect from gelato but there's certainly a corn flavor and i and there's there's bits of corn in it which my sister would hate she hates stuff that the corn kernels really yeah the thing with corn in japan is it's really sweet there's a variety of corn um in tohoku i forget what it's called um all i know is this you can eat it raw it's like a fruit corn i know you can eat this corn i i i had it in nagano but i've also had it in tohoku um it's a special variety of corn you husk it and you can eat it right away usually you have to boil the corn this has a very sweet taste like a fruity corn taste to it i've never had anything like it only in japan um but this corn yeah that would be a great name for your channel corn what where you going with this corny in japan corny in japan all right do the title call can you do it corny in japan that's pretty good actually yeah it works what do you think should i change the title to this show go around and i'll just investigate all the corn in japan yeah if they don't have corn i'm not going there well i wonder how many different prefectures have corn you can grow corn anywhere you are you really want to do i'm going to do this chicken are you really wondering wait hold on i want to you really wondering are you just saying that like i wonder how many prefectures have corn no actually i can grow corn oh can grow corn and you can grow corn anywhere basically so yeah so but i'm gonna do this even in hokkaido up in the video about that channel idea i'm doing it no i'm gonna die first corny in japan just take that sound bit that he said right there and you can put it in to your new channel i guess somebody's gonna claim it look what you've done it's ruined i don't have any chance to go and register this online you've totally destroyed it don't make that channel do not make corny in japan please that's my idea and i'm sticking with it and i'm trademarking it when i get home one of these days it's just tomorrow i'm getting home tomorrow do you have sensitive teeth i have someone buying the domain right now grant knock it off no moderators block that guy stop him from doing his his evil deeds baylor writes in here pick up something for rio and something for george ah thank you joji yeah i do actually the baskets down they haven't paid for yet oh really they're guarding our stuff wait when you named joji joji did you do it because it also can translate as george in in america yeah yeah so george is my father's name and jo joji is the is the katakana pronunciation of george um but also joji has kanji so we uh we went we chose that name i guess the kanji right here if you can see it you put your son's name on the ring you bet that's it's daijoubu no joe and bushi give it the justice it deserves so i designed this ring and it's it's uh native american northwest america uh indian symbols that's where i'm from and uh yeah last night we went out to dinner at the palace hotel i bought him dinner and trust me

building which is shaped like a triangle or i like to think onigiri for the people that are hungry and you can see in the mountains aomori is not that far away from mountains and there's some snow up there which is crazy we've had really warm weather for the last few weeks but there's still some snow in the area so that's kind of uh kind of neat to know this bridge is also something you can see

aomori station and it's about a five-minute local train ride to get here but i like what they've done with the city of aomori they have they've been making so many different changes to to this place to make it i don't know it's just become more vibrant it's just become more vibrant over the last uh 15 years when i first came here 23 years ago it was a different owl woody it was kind of rough around the edges but over the last 10 years when they built the a factory and actually the shinkansen did not come to aomori until about 10 years ago and when it did that opened up aomori to to a lot of tourism and they took advantage of it by opening really amazing places like this all right we're 50 likes away i know we can get there i know we can get there oh yeah good burger they got some good

you want to get a little tipsy because it's pretty strong why not man all right go ahead do it i'm not driving all right here we go kids this is an apple party here comes we'll keep going whoa oh you better don't waste one drop don't waste like going with the big one it wouldn't fit that's true it's super fizzy isn't it all right let's see here i'm gonna try the um this is the one that you had so i'm gonna try the kimori apple cider sweet apple and wine do not mix no they don't mix the cider's way better let's give it some distance so we can see the color drop here oh keep it here for a second i've already drank from it so i'm not gonna touch the glass to the top okay one drop is gonna come i know that there's one drop that's my drop i'll just rub the rub the cup on the no i don't want to do because i already took a sip that's not not that's kind of unhygienic just one drop i'm waiting oh let me shake the machine here it doesn't work like a oh it's working okay do it again i don't know okay that's not that's not polite yeah the wine not big on this this apple wine really it's strong right it's strong yeah it's it's very strong um but the ciders is like head and tails above oh this cider is good which one is that one this is the komori this one it you can taste the freshness of the apple peels right they kind of use that there's a like there's a little flowery taste of the peels right a natural taste to it and often you sort of remove it but this one has that in there the rinds which gives it a very unique flavor apple whisperer here it's a deep flavor it's like when you take a bite of the apple you have that tarty sweetness to it but it curls up into my palate like this i don't know i've never had this sensation before what do you what does that mean i'm just thinking the same thing what does that mean it curls up what are you talking about like it goes i curl up when i'm camping and like i think it's sleeping it's like coming out of the nostrils like like this okay it's very well maybe i should try that one so i can get on the same page um what's the name of that one cool money it's the sweet one i'm gonna try a dry one now has anyone ever had that flavor no oh john this is your card oh yeah that's my card nice one i'm gonna charge your card and i'm gonna go with the kumori dry now let's try a different cup here put your give me your cup get a fresh one so you are not oh okay stick that's how real alcohol tasters drink this is the 200 of the cider this is the dry one skip it how far can you can you go all the way down here peter let's try it i'm not bashful i felt that apple wine it's hitting you huh yeah yeah i've got a sniper let's get your card before if we get it how much you got left on that i don't know it doesn't tell me you're gonna do it a deep dive okay i got five 400 left so let me do the i'm gonna try this kimono uh sweet do a deep dive put it down just make sure where the spout is coming out i'm sure you estimated it no more more down no but i'm gonna bring it here we go no take a risk ah i think that's was that 200 or 300 that was the 200 200 you should have gone three there wasn't a three i guess it's running low that's why based on my card amount oh yeah because we don't have a lot of money left on it eric eric rates we have to tap the keg we might we might have to do the keg oh cheers guys cheers to all of you welcome to aomori to the uh a factory this is for awesome a is for apple that's nice way better than the wine one the cider is fantastic i like the sweet better the dry one has it it's it's more bitter it hits a different it hits the sides of my tongue compared to the sweet one which curled up yeah the sweet is much much better i might get a bottle of this to take home and you can work on your your uh descriptions for the next live stream it's got a taste that curls up this isn't that this was good the yeah so we've got 400 left um we're gonna have two i've got 200 left so we got one more round what are you gonna get i haven't tried one from the other machine yet let's try i only got the wine from the other machine yeah let's try that other machine let's try the other machine [Music] standard and dry i'm going to go with the standard based on whatever i have left i like these cards have a little icy chip in there um let's go with uh i i got 200 should i go 100 100 or just go 200. yeah go 100 100 you can work on your no i'm just going 200. he's going deep it's gonna splash everywhere dude let's do it mine splashed on the glass [Music] all right i'll be responsible there you go now there you go get that head going look at that always is uh the head in japanese yeah oh it's good good awa yeah all right go ahead peter this is your last last call what's your name in that bond movie good luck all right get yo go for it all right tdsdr extra bubbles uh it's done you can put it in the used card um definitely zero yeah 100 yen left lipstick oh sorry i don't know right you did two you want to do 200 hammers well how come i couldn't do a 300 yenner i'm gonna go with the drive oh that's why look i told you it's an empty bottle well you got 100 so you can get one of these ones right yeah all right here we go i've got 200 so i can get two of these hundred young guys i think all right here we go that is a weak poor ladies and gentlemen come on it's almost empty but for a hundred yen i expect more than that insufficient credit so i've got a hundred left i could do all right let's we got to quickly finish this looks like the audience is getting a little tired of us drinking and getting a little bit tipsy here okay i prefer the sweet over the dry you do yeah yeah this meat is better it's way better you get a lot more of the the flavor out of the apple the dry it's a much it's a much more subtle apple flavor i i prefer the komodi this this is the aomoni suite this is good but the komori suite had that it this one doesn't curl it curled and i'm serious try it before you make fun of me try it you'll experience a curl i'm telling you and if you have many more of these you'll experience do you have a hundred yen can you try the curl one the comboy sweet yeah i'll try it i got 100 [Music] well they didn't have the kanji there i don't know uh i'm gonna go with it this one curls this is uh left-centered in kids use it or lose it here we go you're watching cider tv with peter van gaal that's right another really weak four but for 100 you can't complain cannot complain i'm going to go with this again church oh stop it i'm going to go with this kimori suite what if you mix it i wonder i wonder if you can mix it can you mix and match is that i guess it's not matching it's just mixing it's the kimori it's really good here's the label all right there's the label that's so good i told you isn't it a bottle of that one i'm getting this the kimono cider it curls did do you feel the curl oh yeah okay see don't make fun of me my descriptions are quite accurate okay that is a really nice one that's definitely that's the best there's some uh some gas or taste that's going up and curling gases there's something in there that's going around i'm definitely gonna put my mask on now um i did notice that that the um the weather in aomori is about 10 degrees cooler fahrenheit so it's like four degrees celsius cooler here than it is in tokyo so you do you definitely have to make sure you check the weather when you get on the shinkansen if you're up here yeah for sure but this pass that we have is pure gold man this is the jr jr east pass uh tohoku area we came up here on this 20 000 yen five days of a limited shinkansen travel it's so awesome um you can be a foreign resident you don't need to be a tourist to use this and this is sort of unprecedented because we had to use uh you had to be a foreign tourist to get one of these rail passes but now you don't have to be that's fantastic it is i'm gonna i guess that's yeah for japanese japanese lesson so hodai hodai you add to a what i guess to the verb right so for example hodai all you can eat no di hodai all you can ride what else do you have uh yomi hodai what you can read all you can read curl hodai all you can curl all right let's go is this return your cups here all right this has been a lot of fun uh do you have any questions about the a factory i kind of i kind of really you coming i kind of really wanted to to take you in here a long time ago i i first came here in november when i was doing the kakunodate which is a beautiful town in iwate live streams we

end this live stream over here to the cider um yeah let's go take a look at the cider i want to see how much that costs now that we've gotten a chance to we do have permission to film which is also really awesome you'll be confused by our badges yeah we have badges we're staffed yeah this is one of the world's biggest apples for those that weren't here in the beginning there will be an edited video of the uh we ate four ekibens each on the shinkansen so we're making a video i'm making a edited video on this we have the bellies to prove it actually we should shouldn't we get some for the ryokan we're staying in there it is how much is it it's uh 16 bucks yep 16 bucks all right that's pretty good about 15 actually u.s um this is the holy grail of ciders this is the best of the best that we had it's sweet and it curls i'm starting to uh get on the same page you john i felt that you felt the curl right i told you i told you it just takes a moment feel the curl [Music] so just to some more of the local products that i was telling you about all of this um made here in aomori it's kind of it's kind of nice to come and see local foods this one is the most popular is this it let me see if i can find the most popular um gift i sent this to our daimyo supporters these are the apple pies these are so good you can put them in the toaster oven but i sent these to our daimyo

into an apple pie check that out that's so cool on the outside is like pie crust but i don't think they i don't think i sent it because the expiration date is uh pretty close uh may 5th so it's about a month i could send these out could send them out they also have these um um apple sponge cakes which look pretty good actually could i send the daimyo one of these these are really pretty oh expiration date's pretty close [Music] look like bookends but it's actually a cookie um some of the other confections here are really nice some senbei some crackers dried squid different kinds of fish there's some ham roast roast jackie pork jerky jackie oh these are so good this is a staple of of uh tohoku these um special senbei are so good it's from hachi is that i like to eat these with peanut
