Old Popcorn Vending Machine in Old Town Kitasenju Tokyo, Is it Working? #281

well this place is kind of  noisy so let's go out first hey guys welcome to Rion's tv i'm Rion "Seeeno Gaoooo"   today i'm at Kitasenju station well the  last time when i came here i found a popcorn   vending machine back in the day we could find  a lot of popcorn vending machine on the street   however recently we don't see much so i  thought interesting and i tweet about it   but on that day i didn't tried it so maybe today i  can try it and let's check if the taste is good or   not oh by the way i'm at the north part of tokyo  the town's atmosphere is a little bit different   so let's take a walk and let me show you  guys a little bit here so let's keep watching that's the marui department store  and that's Lumine Kitasenju   is really interesting city i think  it's because there is a huge department   stores but at the same time in front of the  department stores there is a nice local arcades  well i think the popcorn vending machine was  this way so let's keep walking there are many old   people on the street compared to shinjuku and  shibuya also i found a nice mochi store too we don't see many mochi stores in a big city  so if you like mochi maybe you like this town so the first corner you see you have to  turn right and you will find another arcade   anyway so let's keep walking look at that it seems like that's  a local one hundred japanese yen story   the Daiso and the Cando is really popular but  still there are local 100 japanese yen store too   and next to the 100 japanese store that's  the vegetable selling store we call it yaoya   in japanese recently there are many  supermarkets replaced yaoya   but if you go to the countryside of japan you  can find a lot of yaoya too oh this is the   apple pie restaurant the last time when i came  here i saw many people making a line for that   No, No, No, today we are going for the pop  corn vending machine, so let's keep walking this hair salon and clothes store looks really old style i'm  wondering this story how long has been here   cute kids future athlete oh look at this  curry shop this cheese curry looks pretty good when you see this gate turn left  popcorn vending machine is almost there wait this hair salon names lion hair? wow  maybe they can do my hair there is local   coffee shop and the greengrocer again and here  we go we arrive to the popcorn vending machine this is the vending machine i was  talking about yes oh interesting   seems like this flag is american flag so i believe  this popcorn vending machine is from america   i'm not sure people are from america  have you guys seen this before so, don't shake it, don't climb it So there is a picture machine also,, there is a hidden vending machine behind  this vending machine so let me check it we don't see any anyways what else we see hello  kitty no mizuhan baichu they are selling the hello   kitty waters as well but i don't see any vending  machines it's working for 24 hours so let's get   one let me see they have butter taste caramel  taste and salt taste which one should i try   the price is 220 japanese yen which is almost  two us dollars well i like butter taste and the   salt taste however let me try the caramel paste  because i have a really good memory with the   caramel popcorn. you know when i was a kid i go  to the disneyland i smell this caramel flavored   popcorn and it reminds me a good child memory so  i like it anyway let's try this caramel popcorn hopefully it's working though oh yeah  it's working oh by the way you can't use   the 1000 japanese bill here so make sure  bring the coin if you want to use this   can you guys hear that the popcorn is popping  and already i can smell the really good smell and it seems like it's ready let's get it  okay oh actually it's pretty warm let me see well let me place the cam somewhere and then let's  try this actually it's pretty hard so let me use   the hand side guys sir yeah okay and here we  go yes so this is the popcorn from the vending   machine well it says "Chui Atsui" be careful it is hot  so let me place it here let me try the popcorn   well it doesn't look like a caramel flavored taste  but it smells like a little bit caramel let me see i see well actually this is the popcorn definitely but definitely it is different from the popcorn  what you have in the disneyland the caramel   flavor is also a little bit different  it's more like a vanilla flavor for me well but i think 220 japanese yen are acceptable well i'm wondering if the  different popcorns taste different   by the way popcorn in japanese is  "Poppukoon" yes the word is coming from the english so  that's why we have a pretty similar pronunciation   speaking of the popcorn it is really popular in  japan when i was a kid my mom used to make it for   my brothers and me, we liked popcorn in the  supermarket there is a small pan and then you   can just hit it on the oven and you can make the  popcorn somehow my family don't use the microwave   one but i think the microwave one is really  popular too oh the price is about 200 japanese   yen i think so it's pretty similar with this one  but i don't think they had the caramel taste so   maybe if you want to eat the caramel  version you can try that or maybe not   because this one doesn't taste like a  caramel much it's more like vanilla flavor   well taste is not bad though speaking of the  recent situation finally state of emergency   has been lifted for kansai region but  not in tokyo though as of march 1st   since the situation is getting better so i'm  thinking of going back to osaka but still i'm   thinking whether i should go back by shinkansen  or by plane or by bus how do you guys think   i don't know by bus it's much cheaper compared to  shinkansen however you have to stay in the bus over eight hours from tokyo to osaka well so  maybe it's not really a good option for now   let me see first thing i want to do after  go back to osaka is cutting my hair yes my   hair is getting super long but whenever  i cut my hair i usually ask my family   so i'm thinking of cutting my  hair in osaka i think it's better actually i'm talking in the parking lot and  i thought someone would park there however   he just wanted to u-turn here anyway after go  back to osaka i will cut my hair and i try to   introduce how the japanese beauty salon works  if it's possible if not i will just cut my hair   anyway the popcorn is good the vending version  was interesting after this i will try to take   a photo of this town kita senju and i will  try to post it on my instagram so if you   haven't checked my instagram please check my  instagram account too i know today's content   is much shorter than regular content but i want  to try shorter contents too so hope you enjoyed   the video thank you so much for watching  my video see you in the next video bye-bye
