I have loved eating food from all over the world ever since I was a kid, so when I got the chance to visit Japan in January of 2019, I knew I would have an incredible time diving into all of the unique dishes this amazing country has to offer. I started my Japanese adventure in Tokyo and explored several other cities and areas around the island of Honshu on an unforgettable, 12-day excursion. Come with me as I explore the gorgeous island nation of Japan!
I love Asian sweets. They’re so different from Western sweets, and Japan has some of the most unique ones on the planet. My friend Shinichi from TabiEats was kind enough to take me on a phenomenal street food tour in Asakusa, Tokyo, where we explored the sugary world of Japanese sweets in the culinary capital of the world!
The Asakusa area of Tokyo is known for its beautiful temples and delectable street food, so I knew I’d have a blast there! We started on the longest and oldest shopping street in Tokyo, Nakamise Dori, where you can find the oldest temple in the city, Sensoji Temple, as well as lots of shops. There’s a lot of history there!
At our first shop, Azuma, Shinichi and I tried kibi dango, which is a traditional Japanese sweet that consists of mochi balls covered in millet flour on a stick! It was gooey and was almost exactly like mochi, but with nothing inside it, and covered in a nutty flour that tastes similar to peanut butter. I loved it! Then I also tried a fantastic, hot, fermented rice drink called amazake. It was very rice-y and kind of slimy, but amazing! I’m glad I got to try it; it’s only available in the winter.
Next, I tried ichigo daifuku, a type of mochi that is stuffed with red bean paste and a fresh strawberry. We got two different varieties: one with red bean paste and one with custard. The one with the red bean paste was incredibly juicy and fresh, as it was strawberry season in Japan. One of my favorite mochis of all-time!
Next was the custard ichigo daifuku, which was very different. I didn’t love it at first, but then the custard inside blew me away!
Up next were freshly deep-fried rice crackers. They were hot, crunchy, and salty, and had a flavor almost like popcorn. I didn’t love them, but they were still pretty tasty.
We followed that with Japanese pancakes called ningyoyaki that date back to the Edo period. They come in shapes like pagodas and birds and contained red bean paste, which is standard for most traditional Japanese sweets. It was almost all gooey red bean paste with the savory pancake around it and is so good! Six cost 550 Yen, or roughly $4.97 U.S.
After visiting a mask shop with a cool selection, we moved on to menchi katsu, which is a deep-fried patty made of beef, pork, and onion. It was very moist and juicy and had a great mix of flavors and a nice, flaky crunch on the outside. It was amazing!
Afterward, I met an owl from an owl café and grabbed another coffee from a vending machine, before grabbing two savory, deep-fried pancakes called monja: a regular one and a curry one. Both were hot and moist, with lots of herbs, but the curry one had a crunchy, delicious curry on the outside. I loved it!
After passing through the second gate of the temple and warming my hands by a massive incense burner, we prepared to enter the temple by rinsing out hands and mouths in the water of the nearby fountain. Inside, I prayed, made a wish, and bowed. Afterward, you can get your fortune, but mine was bad, so Shinichi showed me what to do with fortunes you don’t like and want to change!
We finished our sweets tour with some melon pan, which is a Japanese sweet bread with matcha (a type of green tea) soft serve ice cream inside! The bread was amazing, like a biscuit with a little sugar on top, and an icy dose of intense matcha flavor in the middle. My number one dish of the day, even though it gave me brain freeze!
Wow, what a fantastic sweets tour! I hope you liked watching me and Shinichi sampling some of the best Japanese sweets in Tokyo! If you did, please give this video a thumbs up and leave me a comment below. And please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already. I will see you in the next travel food adventure!

Check out his channel! He and his partner are constantly releasing videos about food in Japan (as well as elsewhere occasionally). Shinichi's partner, Satoshi, is even more knowledgeable because he lived his whole life there whereas Shinichi moved to Hawaii when he was child. He mentioned that he's also a bit limited by the fact that he can't really read Japanese well; he sometimes ask Satoshi to explain some of the words/expressions the latter uses because Shinichi doesn't always recognise them lol. They're a cute couple!

I’m Japanese and I’m watching it to study English, because most Japanese cannot speak english so those who are planning to visit Japan have to be careful. But I’m happy that this guy seems enjoyed Japan a lot!

Tabi eats !!!!
NOW THIS LOOKS SO TASTY
❤ Shinichi. Want all that food.
some of the food is really interesting and look very tasty! would love to try the katsu and that melon pun sandwich and the rice based stick.
Sinichi is very kind and has patience. Very respectful of his culture. 👍
Nice that you did the video with Shinichi, such a nice guy. Nice location and your food choices were great.
I’m getting hungry …😂😂 Thank you for coming to Japan！
Good looks damn tasty. Would want to surely try it on my next year Japan visit. Love from India!
Nailed it😀😀
This makes me hungry on a full stomach. I REALLY NEED to visit Japan for almost every reason. New subbie from India!!
The music in the subway scene at the beginning is reminiscent of the Police song, and their video clip was filmed on that Subwayline!
Very good food tour
I’m Japanese and living in really countryside of Canada, so I can’t easy to get Japanese stuff. But recently Japanese food has become popular. So I can get soy sauce, Miso, wasabi...at local grocery stores but only like Sushi stuff. I love the “Kinako” which is covered the Kinako in the video. So I wish the Kinako become popular and I can get easy around my place. Kinako is very healthy food.
OMG Japanese food and desert are awesome
I like all the Japanese guides. Very descent. Japanese people are renowned all over the world because of their politeness. Loved the ice cream sandwich. Till now my favorite is the Japan series, high quality food and extremely clean. No need to think about hygiene. A big like.
David eating a matcha ice cream= happiness ☺✨

Fayu Street Food they are super good. When I tried them I thought the powder was peanuts, it taste like a mild creamy peanut powder. So nice.
Thanks for this post David. I've never been to Japan but this place will be on my "must visit" list. Also... I don't know if you noticed but the girl behind your right shoulder making the treats at 2:25 is gorgeous!!!
Shinichi, yay 😁
Last thing I expected to see was Shinichi 😂❤️
Looks so nice
Wow strawberry season in japan cool my fevorite place
I've been on holiday in Japan last year, starting with Tokyo. I also was at Asakusa. Seeing this makes me want to go back. Learned something new about the wishes. I thought they only were in Japanese and didn't know about what to do with bad fortunes. Thanks for the info! Tried the melon bread, it's so delicious! Didn't try it with matcha ice cream though, well next time then.... :)
Omg I went to these exact places when I was there and I’ve tried all the food except the curry manju. I miss Japan 😭
I too love the kinako powder on my Mochi. It does taste like peanut butter 😂 Omg Shinichi and Satoshi San is such a sweet people ❤️ Love them guys
Came here because of Shinichi, awesome video thank you ^^/
I am glad you enjoyed the street food in Asakusa. I also love the food In Japan. I am hoping to come back there soon 😊
The lady at 13:11 has the most beautiful kimono I have ever seen in my entire life. Simply stunning.
love it ...........................
Tabieats is right. Iove the mochi with fruits too. I miss that so much!!!
Strawberry season is winter in Florida too. February is peak time for picking the fruit
Haha wow the fact that just from your accent I knew right off the bat you were from Miami. Very cool video!
Ugh, I love Japanese culture and everything about it so much. I hope one day I’ll find myself in Japan having the time of my life eating that melon bread
Hey there is so much similarity between Japnies worship ritual style and Indian ritua style. Starting from cleansing & all. Wow so incredible.
I'm Japanese but I don't have ever been to '' Asakusa'' I wanna go to Asakusa! You're enviable😆
最高！🙌

That first sentence on the bad fortune about "not studying yet" clearly refers to David's onigiri technique. LOL
I love watching street food videos and saying "I've gotta try those" but knowing....just KNOWING that I will never be able to eat it
Sending love from OKLAHOMA CITY,OKLAHOMA!!!!!,...New Subscriber....love traveling with you..amazing places..travel safe friend.

Millet flower looks exactly like the powder that goes into something called horchata which is a milk drink from Central America. Very sweet and good. I'm not from Central America myself, but I have tried horchata and seen it made, it's so good.
those mochi balls with strawberry looked cool...and David misses India and its curry ...hahaha
