wonderful crispy crunchy kind of texture and to make caramelized - I believe they put something kind of sweet on top mmm premium soft doughy bread on the inside but really the best part is how crispy

and eating guys [Music] here right next to the market hello sir can you talk I need to right here we just saw him make this awesome dessert and they make it into a Katonah it's called katana Akashi have you ever had a katana as a serving size one katana please we have this dessert he just made this is basically a puffed rice and then he just dumped a bunch of molasses I believe on top mixed it all up he flattened it out into a perfect rectangle he cut piece by piece perfectly measuring each one so they're all the same length fake density let's try it out mmm was she wonderful texture little sweet but not over sweet by one a katana hmm one katana [Music] we have a whole katana of food right here with a handle made out of a box the katana goes inside I think I saw him lose respect for me when I was like I must have it in katana form he was like dude you too and [Music] all right we have a whole katana of food let's try it out Oh jubler punching but st. yummy kind of toasted caramelized flavor on there sweet not too sweet but men this is the type of sort I could fall on any day of the week don't walk we've come here I'm excited to meet you ah I'm really good on a little skewer see since it has soy sauce and sugar on it yeah can I have five [Music] we are here right now with our rice cracker with two authentically dressed people where are you from right now it's the time we're just gonna go for it I guess mmm I think it's like um something to do with mochi and me it's like baked on a stick it's really good a little bit trust me you're authentic something authentic human I'm not Japanese why would anyone assume they are authentic Japanese it cause of all your dress that's right it is super crispy on the outside inside it's a little gummy and it's like they've soaked the mochi this little rice cake in soy sauce I think before even grilling it so as a strong kind of sweet sticky salty soy sauce flavor to it would you agree with all of them great if you guys are doing great one more bite huh it hurts the weather's never put on a corset and then go on a food binge it just does not work at all guys what a day it's been a day full of sweet snacks and plenty of street food here in this one particular area of Tokyo I learned a lot today one Tokyo at least in this particular area doesn't have a huge robust diversity of street food everything we found today was kind of snacky deserting like little one bite or two biter things secondly we went from something sour almost like 10 bucks to some things that were like almost $1 so good price range there a lot of stuff you can try out if you want your food to be a little cheaper don't put gold on it for you guys if you are planning to go to Vietnam I highly recommend a company called one trip one trip is the highest rated tour company in Vietnam doing tours from north to south in all major cities including hanoi 'no chang Danang ym and Saigon you can experience food tours adventure tours
