I lived in Tokyo for 3 years. And by far the most popular snack it's called Pocky. It's a baked biscuit stick that's very thin and the original was then coated in chocolate. So about 4/5 of the stick is coated. They come in a variety of flavors now but the chocolate ones are the best. Too bad you didn't order those. Plus it's one of the bigger Japanese snacks there's I believe 16 sticks in a pack.
I love Japanese ghana chocolate, the golden box of almond chocolates, the pizza chips, everything ume (plum) flavored, senbei (rice crackers) the uni ones, triol chocolate with the coffee. Yum!!
about the dear diardre thing, we used to have something here in the states called dear Abby which was an advice column, so given that context some might just automatically assume that dear diardre, is the same as dear Abby, so even if they don't know who she is, they'll know what she is.
"corn pottage" is something often eaten in Japan. "pottage" is a Middle English word, the older version "potage" means "soup or stew" (something cooked in a pot (potage). "Corn pottage" is a cream of corn soup. People will warm it and drink a cup of (corn pottage/creamy corn soup) out of a coffee mug on a cold day. You can even get a warm small can of it out of a vending machine on a cold day ( also get hot coffee, or hot cocoa out of a vending machine during the cold months). People like the flavor, a small comfort food on a cold day while you are waiting for the train to go to (or get home after) work/school. It has the image of something you can drink slowly while warming your hands up and keep your stomach warm until it is time for a proper meal. So they have used this flavoring on a few other things (trying to use its "comfort food" image).
Because "New England Clam Chowder" and "Manhattan Clam Chowder" are exceptionally well-known names of foods, and most "chowders" contain celery, potatoes, seasonings, and other vegetables like green pepper, carrots, garlic, bay leaf, as well as salt pork, bacon, crackers, and other commonly used ingredients that "corn potage" does not use, I intentionally mentioned "cream of corn soup" to make an easily understandable distinction. You are welcome to make "corn chowder" however you enjoy it most. (When at home, I personally prefer the chowder style too.) However, "corn potage" sold in thousands of vending machines and convenience stores throughout Japan is made from: super creamy corn soup made with fresh/canned/frozen corn, onion, milk, and heavy cream. (In Japan) the creamy corn soup is called “potage” where the corn kernels and soup are blended till smooth and strained through a fine mesh sieve. If the soup is not blended and still has chunky bits of corn, we usually refer to it as corn soup. However, some people might refer to "corn potage" as "corn soup" because it might be confusing as they are so similar (partially crushed corn kernels vs finely crushed corn kernels).
Japanese snacks are the best! I do agree that they should have more in their packages, but they're pretty serious about their food which is sad, since in American. However those corn puffs are the best snacks ever.
I imagine if you had done as the packet suggests and it wasn't split into 3 that "Beer for kids" might have tasted better.. but because you guys split it, it probably didn't taste anything like it should.
I made a suggestion a while back for Mexican food and liquor. I think they may be doing something for Cinco de Mayo. They have mentioned it briefly in several video intro’s recently. Keeping my fingers crossed. I want to see what Mexican food looks like in England. lol.
Strangely enough, Japanese people live to be the oldest people, as well as Americans and British people; 100, 110, 114 years old. Intereresgingly enough, the Americans are the country that primarily drinks coffee instead of tea.
sorry, tried and failed again as soon as you have put the kitkat in. mic is too close to your throats. use different mics or move them further away from your mouths please. seriously.
@@dentyph5169 "they" can say what they want but its not the eating is it smart arse its the close up of the noise and fact that my ear is basically in their mouths. i have no issues with sounds usually but that is just too much.
I'm sure this channel would be more physical activities if it wasn't during lockdown and certain rules so might start changing over the next few months

Sounds a lot like a corn chowder

Should have tried Pocky. Botan Rice candy, and fruit jelly cups. Super popular with my American grandkids. The rice candy is quite nice.
Love your shirt Dave!
Gotta see these blokes try to throw a football 🏈
Mike stop sniffing everything! 😂
I live in the USA In Billings Montana
Japanese like the small servings so you can enjoy different flavors & it doesn’t make you feel guilty.
Hey where I live, weed isn't an illegal drug anymore. ;)
if you want more umaibo, theyre cheep as dirt. 10 pence a stick, just about, in JP. so its hard to complain they dont give you enough for the price.
Finally a new try!
YESS been waiting on more try content

Office Blokes Try "Soccer Tennis Challenge".
(See Team Edge video of same name)
I honestly think you guys would have a blast with it! 😂

There’s not enough chocolate to make these sweets worth eating, IMO.
Office blokes try tacos 🌮🌮🌮

Haha! Corn pottage=porn cottage! Clever!

That's your problem, they say people who can't handle someone else's eating has a mental problem 🤣

I tried. I like your primary channel and the whiskey try was fine, but the collar mics and chewing is just off-putting.
I'm sure this channel would be more physical activities if it wasn't during lockdown and certain rules so might start changing over the next few months
@@leebryden8322 I couldn't care less about the amount of physical activity. Mic stands would be a big help though.
i didn't notice it so bad but wasn't watching with headphones.
mentioned this on a previous vid, knocks me sick.
You sound like a whiny little somthing or another Mark get over it yourself bud
Awesome
