Hey guys hello from Tokyo, it's such a nice day today, so I figured I'd take my eating outside Super please - it looks pretty good I'm on my way to a street market called ameyoko And this is a recommendation from my buddy John from only in Japan in this market if you break the name down I may also Stands for America and that's because right after the World War two a lot of American goods were sold here So this used to be the site of a black market also, ameyoko is short for a maiya Yokocho which means candy alley because apparently candy was was also sold here Today this market is home to over a hundred and eighty store selling everything from bags to clothing to groceries Of course, of course, there's food here that's why I'm here and I'm here on the weekend which might not be the best place to be there because it is Crowded but I'm starving. So I'm just gonna walk around and see what they're seeing eat It's really a mix of different types of who's here you got kebabs Chinese food, why should I Chinese food looks really really good here There's actually a ton of Chinese food places and they all look really really good. That's the prompt Okay, I gotta walk around and see what does she eat. This is the scouting part of the food adventure This is really interesting the mushrooms there's they sell a lot of these mushrooms here and the price goes up from 3,000 yen all the way to 30000 yen on the top. Basically that's a $300 mushroom. These are called matsutake mushrooms They're basically Japan's truffle and there's still so $4,000 a pound. I've never had one I'm sure it's guys swish out a kitchen I cook so much So start out with some takoyaki haven't had talked to here since I came to Japan We got to fix that this place meaning a toy a huge line for their takoyaki And this might look a lot different than the ones you've had in Japan or anywhere else because these don't really have anything on them No saws, no bonito flakes. And that's because they have all the sauces and condiments. Here you out of yourself Okay, my god don't make the same mistake I did for holding my mouth not smashing to do no push me on the outside Nice and gooey who loved the octopus this is ultimate Japanese comfort food right here Whenever I add in my own colonies before so I might have messed up a little bit But I like the fact you can add as much communal place as you want Not if you flush this hot dog place in the next door, and they sell some crazy-looking hot dogs Oh, no, I mean I kind of feel like I want that thing right there. Here it is This is my corn dog with the potatoes all stuck on the outside like a body armor and am I supposed to coconut powder sugar? soy bean coconut Okay This one better, okay, so they recommended the coconut powder sugar I'm just gonna add some ketchup And maybe some honey mustard So here it is My freakin dog with with potatoes. I have one of these in Korea. There's a pretty good number one, which is pure cheese Whoa, I was gonna shave That's actually really delicious that's the modular cheese in there though It's nice and slightly sweet potatoes are basically french fries. If you're gonna get Dutch to definitely recommend the ketchup I really do like the sugary element as well. It's basically a really substantial Potato we mozzarella stick. I Know for a fact that My life span has decreased after you English. I got no regrets this I mean, it looks crazy, but you should definitely get one way in come here. Oh I love tea shops Oh YUM, I Love good matcha green tea perfect doctor some food a lot of fruits here and look at this. Great 3000. Yeah. Yeah. Hi I'm getting myself some great I think I gotta try some of this Chinese food and all the Chinese stalls here. They essentially sell the same thing It's really weird. They sell down P, which is a Seon thing then they sell Doesn't sell shim Geum ball or camp fried dumplings and that's a Shanghai thing So all sorts of different Chinese food items but each stall pretty much sells the same stuff I got some fried buns and I got some lamb stores. There's some pig's feet. Why not go ham fried buns sesame on the outside Let's see here. This is very important. Okay? It's nice nice and crispy on the bottom. That's really really important. Oh, that's funny So the top of the bun you see the spiral the top of the bun is the part that's fried here I've never seen that so this is the bottom of the bun and then got some pigs feet This a lot of collagen is great for your skin Ladies love them and guys if you want a fair complexion you lead them to pleasure you mean I Was larger than I thought this is good, this is a juicy little oh wow So that's super filling inside the outside nice and crispy dough ways in white it's Chewy is not too heavy pretty light and it sucked up the nice fat from the pork so s actually really tasty and no team Really shocked about this I kitchen.
