I Only Ate Clear Foods For 24 Hours

hey everyone this is Inka today I'm filming a very very special episode for you guys for this video I will be eating only clear foods for 24 hours alright so here we go this is the episode I'm actually in Tokyo Japan right now that's the beautiful Tokyo Tower so I know after having done some research that Japan actually has a lot of clear and translucent food so I am going to sort of include that under the umbrella of clear foods today I don't want to just be eating and drinking water all day I am actually currently walking to the supermarket I have a list of items that I want but I'm also just going to check out what they have at the store so really hoping this works out candy I think you can eat it just think this never seen this before but this is like almost like it's like clear sesame oil I don't know what it is but this is clear if you leave this daikon [Music] I'm at this place but I promise Oh kuzumochi there's this kuzumochi that is very clear I know they become translucent uses salt candy I'm on my way to the soy sauce specialty store that my friends at tasty Japan told me about I am super excited because apparently they have over a hundred types of soy sauce so can't wait to find this amazing clear soy sauce [Music] so you get to sample it and I just tried serving it tastes exactly like normal soy sauce so I am shook morning everyone so it is now day time here in Tokyo I am definitely still jet-lagged you guys know how normally I would eat foods for breakfast there's a couple of fruits that are kind of like clear and translucent but apparently these types of fruits are not that common here in Tokyo I was not able to find any of them so I'm afraid I won't be able to eat fruit this time around I know it's not the best way to start the challenge but I am also a little bit sick so one cup of water was what I was going to drink anyways not my proudest moment I'm really sorry breakfast today is a little bit disappointing but we do have a lot of really cool interesting things lined up for the rest of the day now I'm going to go back to packing some things up I've got a bunch of videos to shoot at the tasty studio space today so I'll see you guys there I am ready and on my way to work thought I would treat myself because I only have water this morning so I wanted to try that usually salt candy I bought here it is it's super clear I guess I'm just curious because it says there's salt in here too so oh yeah that's really good you do actually taste the specks of salt in there too I just got like a pocket of one and I really like it the salt probably helps bring the sweetness out I don't think you can ever really go wrong with handmade candy this is exactly what I needed so I made it to the office I got lost a couple times I actually took the wrong train this morning but I'm here at tasty Japan getting ready to make a clear lunch I don't really know how this is going to go down at the supermarkets there was a lot of things a lot more things than you probably expected because I wasn't expecting to find half as many things as I did I think the biggest challenge here is to make it into not just an edible meal but like a tasty meal or a meal that is really good let's just see what we have to work with you have a lot of stuff here we have rice wrappers we probably see this the most when we're eating I think these cuisine leer soy sauce I'm super excited to play with this some form of substitute for sugar rice vinegar I was trying to find white vinegar but this is what they had in the tasty kitchen white sesame oil that I've never seen usually sesame oil is a dark brown I would say pickled daikon because they've been pickled they are much more translucent mung bean vermicelli I think I grew up eating this a quite a bit two types of sashimi I don't know what kind of fish they are so we're gonna ask a red to help ma die there isn't like a specific way to eat it with soy sauce and wasabi I can work with that maybe thank you I don't think I've even ever seen this before super translucent you can almost see through it I'm not gonna be able to use the tuna in the middle because it's not clear I think what I'm gonna do is kind of cook the noodles cut up the daikon marinate the sashimi a little bit and wrap them up with this we have a bunch of sauces so I think I can play around with that a little bit and we can take it from there sweet savory sour umami maybe try to make a sauce using these different condiments starting with this clear soy sauce I feel like if you covered this up and I didn't know what color it was I would have totally thought it was just normal soy sauce because it's clear I think I like forget that it's actually really salty vinegar this doesn't smell like anything right now but oh it tastes just like simple syrup so I think we're on the right track sugar sesame oil this is just a clear sauce and tasted a little bit feel like it's a little on the sweeter side so I'm gonna add a little bit more soy and a little more sesame oil yeah I think that works now that I have this marinade I can try to marinate them this just looks like as much as I want there to be wasabi we can't use it because it's green you guys see that this is the fish oh wow they these are all safe to eat raw and that's why we're doing this put these in there are to believe that this is in water I'm gonna set that aside this is what the vermicelli looks like it's actually translucent and not white gonna go ahead and toss that in can't even really see the noodles in there because it's so clear but are the noodles just going in to rinse the noodles really quick I think I've got most of the things prepped it's time to do some wrapping this is what they look like it's literally just a clear sheet if you wanted to pixelate your face this is one way to do it right now it's kind of hard so all you have to do is put it in warm water just a few seconds so you see how it goes in I think that's good and now it's even clearer than before a lot floppier too so I'm gonna set that down here it's also a lot stickier now I'm going to sauce this a little bit I think just with some soy sauce and sesame oil [Music] now to put some of these adds a little bit of daikon just for extra flavor and texture oh hey this is our first rap it looks really cool I don't like the cocoon of sorts gonna make a couple more of these and then let's serve it up this is it these are our clear spring rolls you can see the vermicelli the fish I will say that it's a little more opaque now there's a lot of things here that aren't completely like transparent they clear in a more translucent type of way and when you put all those elements together I think I guess they do appear a little more white on camera I just have some soda water this is our clear meal I'm just gonna go right in for it really don't know what it expects mm-hmm there's a lot of flavors going on I have to say I think the marinade actually worked out pretty well and because the daikon is pickled the sweetness really adds a lot to it but I'm really confused so I'm gonna try that again now you can see the inside probably just looks like really bland food in a way I almost say it would be a very healthy way to have a meal considering what it looks like and what it tastes like I think you would be pleasantly surprised this is gonna be pretty quick for me to finish but I actually also have a dessert for this meal I know usually it comes after dinner but I think I actually found enough things so I am going to bring in dessert after I finish this up really quickly I was really looking forward to this this is called the kuzumochi so this is actually a super popular traditional snack in Japan like you know how mochi is typically made of rice this one's made out of Kazuko which is another type of starch mochi is usually white this one is actually more of a translucent color this is served with soybean powder and the type of sweet syrup but in my case today you will not be using these for obvious reasons in its place I have actually bought this syrup I'm gonna scoop a bite out so you guys can see satisfying who's kind of the texture we're looking at it's very jiggly you can see the spoon through this I'm gonna take a bite without putting syrup first mmm it's already a little bit sweet oh it almost looks like a raindrop cake it's so jelly like I feel like I might have had it before because I've never actually eaten it as is so this is super cool really treating myself here today I have a lot to wear my mom here so I'm going to wrap this up really quickly and then get back to work so I am taking a small break from work to actually work on the raindrop cake that I want to have for dinner I think it takes some time to set in the fridge so gonna prepare it now and then hopefully be able to bring it home oh but before that I wanted to try a candy this is Mel toast candy don't have you guys too seen this before last time I saw it actually was when I was doing um dragon beards candy I'll be eating it as is just like this little guy here think I need a toothpick maybe this trouble is real oh it's so sticky it's not always this clear this is super clear I've seen as being served on streets before whoa the perfect glove she grew up I'm just playing with my food again oh there you go look at that you want this so sweet yeah my show you this is like what kids eat miss Deveau over something it's so good but it's also so much sugar now that snack time is over and now that I have sugar in my hair and can take it back to the rain drop cake I'm just using the recipe from tasty Japan I'm gonna link you guys to the recipe I'm using in the description box below this is actually the same pot that used in the video so I can't go wrong that's done you know work a little bit more now alright guys so change of plans I know I said I was gonna go home but it's already dark out it gets dark really early here it's like already past dinner time and I'm really hungry so I'm just gonna make dinner here since I have all the ingredients with me anyways I was thinking of making something fairly quick I also consulted with read beforehand to make sure I wasn't doing anything too bizarre with the ingredients here condiments aside we really only have three things these cooked bean sprouts bean sprouts normally aren't that translucent but after you cook them they become pretty see-through over here we have what they call toque little tin I really hope I am saying that right this is again one of those things that is very common here in Japan it is actually made from seaweed or LG and then we have these little baby fishies called cheetah soup it actually says right here that it's meant to be consumed raw so that is also super interesting I actually think I have this yesterday at a restaurant you guys recognize the sugar substitute from earlier and the clear soy sauce sake and meeting they're both just like pretty common cooking line I'm probably gonna combine all this to make a sauce let's make this work you have the clear soy sauce first meeting sake sure normally I can kind of see how much I want based on like the color of the mixture because everything is clear is kind of trippy just add a little bit of a taste it's really hard to know how much that of anything when it just look at how clear that looks it's like I'm just boiling water hanging this to the stovetop reduce it a little bit you know I'm gonna chop this up there's a lot of water in this so I'm gonna pour that out oh it's so clear actually already a noodle forum I couldn't even tell from the packaging whoa this is so interesting Wow hmm I don't really think it smells like anything but the texture of its like a little softer than gelatin doesn't taste like gelatin though it's a clear fish not insane seafood they actually start help translucent it's just that after we cook it it comes okay this is what we have this might look a little bit terrifying cuz you can actually see the little fishies but I also grew up eating like little fishies like this with rice usually it's cooked I've never had them raw like this I'm excited to try it the last thing to do really is just to drizzle on the sauce that I made I'm just gonna cool it and then pour it over this I am now ready for dinner I haven't added a sauce yet this is it let the sauce end up looking like it's still very much clear can you guys still see me through it there you have it it's a clear full of noodles and fish vegetables it turned out pretty clear I bet when this video first started you guys had no idea what to expect this is probably the last thing you had in mind this is wild oh also here it is I've heard of clear Cola here but I didn't actually expect to find it I really want to start this meal off by drinking this yeah it even smells like coca-cola it kind of tastes a little bit more like Cola candy cool a tasting products it tastes like that this is crazy alright so now for the main course apparently there are many ways to enjoy this the packaging actually came with a sweet sauce but you can eat a sweet or savory let's try this the sauce turned out really good and the little fishies are like little pockets of umami sprinkled through I actually really liked the fish well people who are not a fan of like a more slimy air texture you probably wouldn't like it but it's like sashimi and then the bean sprouts are nice crunch I think the sauce I made was a variation of teriyaki you wouldn't expect to see teriyaki in this color this is still the coolest thing ever so I'm gonna slowly work on this and then we can finally get to dessert this is it this is the moment of truth I was able to do it shall we you just I wasn't even able to slowly do it but here it is oh my god I did it it's so beautiful Wow I have never made a raindrop cake before I know it's just water and sugar and there's no reason to freak out but so excited to eat it I have my syrup from earlier [Music] super excited I'm gonna dig right in you guys Wow the flavor really is just over sugar and water but the texture is so pleasing I know this sounds crazy but you can feel how jiggly it is as you're eating it mmm this is so great this was the best thing to end on it's super refreshing I feel like I'm getting at least two cups of my eight cups of water per day so I actually made to arrange our cakes for safety and this one turned out even more amazing this challenge honestly I thought it would be pretty much impossible I thought I'd be drinking water that's it I can't stop eating this I'm sorry I should stop I think as I was shopping around here I found so many more things than I thought there would be I kind of blew my mind a little bit it's always so amazing to see the different kinds of food from different cultures and like how when you're in different places there's just so many more things to discover this challenge was actually pretty insightful it gave me this opportunity to try out different things like things maybe outside of my comfort zone maybe things that I've never even thought of trying before and felt like I learnt a lot from it I hope you guys did too now that I finally done clear foods let me know what else I should be doing whether it's a different color maybe a different challenge I'm open to any ideas you might have so let me know until then see you guys by [Music]
