Thank you to Bokksu
for sponsoring this video. More on them later. I'm not 100% sold on this. This is easily my favourite. That is a hard pass. I've been to Universal Studios
Japan a few times, so I have my favourite food
and my not-so-favourite food, and I want to share that with you, so you know what to eat
and what to potentially skip. And today we're going to start in
Super Nintendo World, so let's get to it! This never gets old!
Ever! I get chills every time I hear that! Right in the childhood. Alright, let's get some food! In the back of Super Nintendo World
is Yoshi's Snack Island, and this is where they have the
Yakisoba Turtle Calzone with the cheese and the noodles inside. It is really good and very
aesthetically pleasing. And then there's also the
different Yoshi's Lassi drinks. Those you have to try. They are refreshing,
and the packaging is really adorable. I always get them when they come here. By the way,
beside the Yoshi's Snack Island, this is the entrance
where Donkey Kong is going. There's a Donkey Kong
roller coaster being built, right here. Kinopio's Cafe, here is the restaurant
inside Super Nintendo World, and I've tried almost
everything on the menu. My favourites include the Mushroom Pizza
that comes in a mushroom cup. It is adorable. There's also the Caprese salad
with the piranha plant on it, and also Peach's cake.
It looks exactly like the game. As for the two burgers,
there's a Mario burger and a Luigi burger. They're okay.
If you want a burger, sure... But for the most part, they're just okay. I recommend getting
the other things instead. Also, the Yoshi Carbonara is pretty
decent, along with the Fire Flower Pasta. In Jurassic Park,
they have the turkey leg. And you know what? Skip it. It's ¥1000, which is like, $9 - 10. It's not worth it.
Sorry. There's better things. Skip the Turkey Leg.
No, thank you. Bye bye. Although I won't lie,
the mitten of the dinosaur head to hold the turkey leg,
that's kind of clever. So you don't get your hands all dirty. I'll give them credit for that.
That's actually pretty good. I have a pro tip for you Explorers. If you want unlimited drinks, they have
them here at Universal Studios Japan. So it's ¥1500 for the day,
and you have unlimited drinks. There's select restaurants that do this. So there's one in Jurassic Park, there's also one in New York,
one near the front... Super Nintendo World and the Wizarding
World of Harry Potter is not included, but there's enough restaurants here
that you can easily walk around the park and get a drink every 10 - 15 minutes,
or whatever. You get a bracelet, and also you
get a discount on "set meals" that come with a main, a side,
like fries, and then the drink. You get a little discount on that. So I think it's really worth it if
you're spending the full day here, and you just want
to keep yourself hydrated. So it includes soft drinks, and it also includes stuff like
iced coffee, which is fantastic. I have Coke Zero myself,
because you know what? Diet Coke does not exist in Japan;
they just have Coke Zero. There's a meal here at
The Dragon's Pearl that I really enjoy, so we're going to have that today. This is one of my go to meals, is the Fried Chicken with
Sweet & Sour Sauce, Mapo Tofu and fried rice. And there's also some corn soup. It is delicious. Whenever I can, I always have to get this. You can never go wrong with fried chicken,
especially with sweet & sour sauce. It's nice and crispy, and the
sweet & sour sauce is not overbearing and just gives it a nice little sweetness. You can't go wrong with it! And the tofu has a
little bit of a kick to it, because Mapo Tofu is spicy
and this has a nice kick. And fried rice...is fried rice. I enjoy the corn soup, but really,
it's all about this chicken. It really is. Before we have more delicious food, I want to tell you about
our friends over at Bokksu. Bokksu is a monthly subscription service that delivers premium
Japanese snacks and tea pairings, straight from Japan to your door. Each box features a new theme providing a gourmet journey through
Japan every single month. This month's theme is Otsukimi,
which is the Moon Viewing Festival, and some of my favourites include
this Hojicha Crunch Chocolate, which is made out of roasted
green tea and crunchy chocolate. It is divine. These fried potato snacks flavoured to
Sapporo's Miso Ramen is delicious. I ate the entire bag in one sitting. I wanted to get more.
I really did. When it comes to anything
tea flavoured, I am all for it. This Earl Gray cake hit the spot,
and the black tea in it is just so good. Start your Japanese snack journey

Bokksu for sponsoring this video. So the Happiness Cafe is where you
want to go for all the Minions food, and this plate is just okay.
I mean, it's a burger with fries. It looks cool, but it's very...
you get what you get, right? And the chicken, which is
pretty decent as well. But the chicken from the
Dragon Pearl is much better. But you want to get the cream puff,
this is the Halloween version, but they have a regular cream puff,
and it is delicious. It's banana cream puff inside. Yeah, it is really good. I highly recommend that.
Delicious! Here in Minion Park, there is
Delicious Me! if you want some snacks. So the Minion Frappe…it's nothing special. It's shaved ice with some toppings on it,
but what you want are the cookies! So the Banana Ice Cream & Fruits
is really good. I'm not the biggest fan
of the Chestnut. Meh. Chocolate Marshmallow is okay. This one, this one is good. So we got the cookie,
the apple and the caramel cookie, and it looks delicious. And I'm under a banana,
although this is not banana. It's Tim, Bob's favourite bear.
The apple and the caramel is delicious. It's just like the right amount of cream. And the apple is nice and sweet. It's great. And…the cookie is great. It is like a chocolate cookie. I really, I really like this. Louie's is the best place to get pizza. The Halloween pizza is really good,
but their normal pizza is also delicious. So we're going to go inside and have
some pizza because I want some! I want some pizza! This place is quite popular,
so it's usually pretty busy. But my favourite pizzas they get are
the Margherita and the Spicy Pepperoni. Those are kind of my "go to". It's a little expensive…¥1450, but that
comes with fries and drink as well. And they have some fried
chicken with basil mayonnaise. I haven't had that, it sounds good. A full size pizza is quite expensive,
starting at ¥4200...so it is not cheap. The parks don't have
a lot of vegetarian options, but the Quatro Cheese (Formaggi) and
the Margherita pizza would be vegetarian. And they also have these
Rice Croquettes as well. The salad here has shrimp in it... This is what the Fried Chicken
looks like, and the Rice Croquettes. I really like the pizza here. I mean, it's not the best
pizza in the entire world, but for a theme park,
it's actually pretty decent pizza. Now I got this by itself,
so I didn't get the set meals. So by itself it is ¥850,
as opposed to the ¥1400... ¥1450 that it is with
the fries and the drink. So if you don't want fries, just get this. And the word to say that
you want something just by itself... like you don't want the set, you just
say the word [tan-pin]...[tan-pin]. And that just means I want the item
by itself and you don't get the set. And we're still doing
the all-you-can-drink, so that's why we didn't get the set... and I don't need to fill up on fries. It's Pepperoni Pizza with
little bits of sausage on the top; Spicy Italian Sausage. You've probably noticed there's
not a lot of vegetarian options... That's because there is not... But, they do have here Margherita pizza
and a four cheese (Quatro Formaggi) pizza. So if you're looking for some
vegetarian options, that's one option. Throughout the park,
there's not too much unfortunately. And as for vegan…the same thing. Just to give you a heads up on that. If you have any questions about the menu
and items in some of the food, just ask a team member and they'll be able to help you figure out
what's inside the food. If you have an allergy
or anything like that. The classic Mel's Drive-In. This is where they have burgers and fries. I'll be honest,
the burgers here are just okay. And they're quite expensive. I'm talking like ¥1800~¥1700 and they have
like a double cheeseburger, cheeseburger. And you know, for most theme parks,
burgers are just kind of always whatever. If I'm going to pay
that much for a burger, I might as well do it at Super Nintendo
World where at least it's themed fun. So yeah, if you're going to get a burger,
just go to Super Nintendo World. I'm in front of Space Fantasy here
and this is an indoor coaster. And usually it is overlaid
with some sort of VR coaster. So in the past, they've
done [Attack on Titan], [Demon Slayer], [Final Fantasy],
[Doremon]… and actually here is where they
would have a special food. Now it's closed right now,
but if you want special food when they do these special events,
this is where you go. And also behind over...where am I? Back here, there's a restaurant there, the (Studio) Stars Restaurant
that also has special food, for whatever they're having here. So, like I've mentioned,
they've done [Attack on Titan], they've done [Demon Slayer]
and I have videos on that too, where I've done a lot of the
special food that they do there. I wish I could ride this right now,
but it's closed for maintenance. We still have the Jaws attraction
here in Amity Village, and it's actually home to
some of my favourite foods! In Amity Village there's Boardwalk Snacks, which...they have pizza
that we're going to be trying. They also have this
Blue Hawaiian Jaws Splash and the No Swimming Jaws Frappe. This one is good. This is the one you want to get. This one, it has a little blue fin. Yeah, and it comes with really
adorable packaging. That one's fine. I mean it's clever, like with the blue, but I don't like that
it has peaches in it. Peaches and salted cream... If it was mango, I'd be all for it,
but it's peaches, so eh….whatever. Get this one.
It's very sweet though. I'm trying something new
for the first time, so we're going to find out if it's part of
the best food or part of the worst food. I got this pizza danish. Pizza Danish? It's a Macaroni & Cheese Pizza Danish
and I don't know what to think of it. I really don't know. And I forgot to mention... so for the unlimited drink refills,
I got one here. This is in Amity Village. The drink refills, you have to get
five of them at least to break even, and so far I think I've had six? I've been getting them as much as
I can just to get my money's worth and it's just good to stay hydrated. And I got oolong tea, so iced oolong tea. Not every place has Coke Zero,
just keep that in mind. There's Coke at everything,
but there's not always Coke Zero. So I like to get oolong tea,
something that has no sugar, and
I just find it really refreshing. I love the clever design on here. I don't know if you can see it... It's perforated at the top
so you can like fold it down. That is clever. There's bacon on this, too. Big slices of bacon. This is kind of expensive, though.
It was ¥900. I'm not 100% sold on this. The danish is…I dunno…. You can kind of see,
like it's layered like a danish. The macaroni...you can taste the cheese. The macaroni is just macaroni. You know what? Nah. You're better off getting
the pizza at Louie's. That is vastly better. Good idea, but not for me,
as I continue eating it. Well, I paid for it,
so I'm going to eat it. After contemplating
life a little bit more, because that's what I do
when I eat theme park food, specifically Danish pizza. Sitting here contemplating things... So the macaroni...sorry, as I put
my used napkin in front of your face. Whatever, we're all friends here. The macaroni, it tasted like they cooked
it and then just put it on the pizza, then put the cheese on top of it,
whereas it would have been… Like obviously I don't really
know how they did it, but I think it would have been better
if it was like super cheesy macaroni. I would have loved that. That would have been perfect. But it tasted like the macaroni
was just cooked, boiled, whatever. Boil it, mash it, stick it in the stew. Wait, those are potatoes. Lord of the Rings fans, anyone? I'm derailing here. Putting on top of it and then
putting the cheese on it...yeah. The big restaurant in Amity village
is Amity Landing Restaurant. It's gorgeous inside, but also there is
the Jaws roll cake, which is fantastic, and the Shark Meat Nuggets,
which I have not tried. So we're going to try this today.
This is going to be another new one. I've had this before and
I know it's fantastic, but we're going to have it again. So let's head inside. The other item I like to get here
is the chicken sandwich, which is "C", and it has some tartar sauce on it
that's actually really good. I've had that before. And the fried chicken is pretty okay, too. I mean, it's fried chicken. You can't go wrong with that. And there's a kids menu, too. It has a pancake. I've never had that, but that's fun. Here are the shark nuggets. I've never tried them before. I've always been meaning
to and I just never have. So I'm going to tell you if
they're worth getting or not. It comes with tartar sauce. Yeah, they've had these for a while. There's mosquitoes around... Let's try out the Jaws nuggets! You know what?
That is a hard pass. I don't like fish nuggets, apparently.
And I've never had shark before. It just tastes very fishy. That's a no…that's a no for me. No, thanks. The fries are good though. You're welcome to help yourself to that
because [inaudible discontent]... It is really starting to rain. This is one thing that I know
that is good, is the Jaws cake. It's a soda (flavoured) roll cake, and there's a fun that play
on words with Jaws. So in Japanese, you pronounce it [Joe-zu], which is the same word for [Jouzu],
which means, like, that's really good. So when we were ordering, the team member
said [Joe-zu wa jouzu desu yo.], which is like, Jaws is great,
basically, is what he said. Joe-zu…jouzu. It's just a fun play on words. Obviously, it doesn't work in English,
but I just thought that was pretty funny. I never thought of that before
until the team member said that to me when we were ordering. But I'm having this cake again
because it is good. They've had this for forever...for years. And it's a blue…blue cake.
Blue roll cake…blue soda roll cake. It tastes like blue soda
and it's nice and spongy. It doesn't taste like fish at all. It doesn't taste like shark, thankfully. And there's a blue fin
jub jub (candy) thing on top, just like the drink that
I showed you earlier. The tables have turned.
Get this, uh huh. There is a Jaws hot dog
here in Amity Village. And yeah, it's Jaws and a hot dog. There was a choice. Here we go.
But the packaging is really cute here, and it comes with some
mustard and ketchup. So before, they used to put the...
ketchup used to be right in it, but I guess they took it out
because it would make this soggy. So you got ketchup and mustard, which you always need ketchup
and mustard with a hot dog. Ketchup on there looks
like, I guess, blood? The sausage itself is quite nice.
It's very juicy. And there's a little bit
of spice to it, too. A small little kick. It's actually quite good. They have regular hot
dogs in the park as well. No, don't get that.
Get this. It's pretty much the same thing,
but it's a little more fun. As for the bread, the breading,
it's more like a corn dog. Not just a bun, but
it's quite sweet, which is nice. Not only does this look great and it's
fun, it tastes really good, too. Unlike that danish pizza we had... That was hard no,
this is a hard yes. And you get your revenge on Jaws, I guess. Some mustard action on there. Beside the Hollywood Dream
is the Mario Cafe. So this is outside of
Super Nintendo World, and they have some pancake desserts and
drinks here, which are quite delicious. They have pancake sandwiches. So we have Mario there
with the Strawberry Shortcake, and Luigi with the
Grape No-Bake Cheesecake. This one is my favourite. We're going to be eating that
again today because it's so good. This one's fine, but if you want to get
one or the other, get the Mario one. And then we have the drinks down here. Luigi's Green Apple, Mario's Strawberry
Soda, and Princess Peach's Peach Soda. This one I prefer. The décor in here is
spectacular and adorable. I love the coins above the registers. They also have the
drink bottles here, too. So they have the one-up mushroom... or sorry, the Super Mushroom
and the Fire Flower. The one-up mushroom is
inside Super Nintendo World. This is easily my favourite
out of all of them. I did another video where
I tried everything on the menu. Yeah, that was a lot...to do. I think it did over two days...
I can't quite remember. That was two years ago;
this thing opened two years ago. I can't believe that. Anyway, there's the
candied strawberries on the top, there's some...I think this is mint. And there's a little chocolate
that says "Okey-dokey". The presentation on this is adorable. And I wonder if they're going to have this
in Hollywood when it opens, or even in Florida when
Super Nintendo World opens. At either of those parks…
we'll have to wait and see. What do you think? Do you want this to come
to the US parks as well? You can never go wrong with
strawberries and cream, ever. I'm trying to get to the shortcake part... The shortcake and the strawberry
is kind of in the bottom here. It's perfect.
It is pretty sweet. But the strawberry jam and the…
this almost looks like custard. Yeah, it's like a custard
and the strawberry jam. There's a lot of food options here
at Universal Studios Japan, and I've tried a lot of it. I'll put another video up on the screen
here for you Explorers, so you can continue watching to see
what else they have here at the park. Alright Explorers,
I'll see you in the next video. Bye! So I have my favourite food
and not-so-favourite food here…. so I wanna blahhdsrfiuysdfjkh ha ha ha!
