because me and Kelsey are in the subway

But we are headed to do some hanami! (Cherry blossom viewing)

Our first hanami of the year!

Well my first, you too?

My first too!

So I'm super excited because I love hanami!

And I thought I would show you guys the subway

I don't usually include my train ride in my videos

So I thought maybe you guys would find that interesting

So we are going to take the train just for 1 stop actually

It's super close

Asano-san!

is in the stationnnn

So that's always awesome

The train should be here soon

And it's only gonna be a 3 minute ride I think

We made it on the train

I'm gonna try hard not to get other people in my video

except for me and Kelsey, because that's rude

We're gonna take the train for 3 minutes to Nakameguro Station

I'm not sure where the sakura are exactly

So hopefully we can find them easily when we get off the train

But yeah! Excitingggg

Luckily there's a map right outside the station

So we are here and we want to find this river

Because there's lots of sakura on either side of the river

and it's so beautiful!

There are so many people here!

The sakura in Japan only last for about a week or two

Unlike Canada where they'll be around for months

So, once the sakura start to bloom

everyone rushes to go see them as soon as possible

so that they don't miss them

Sakura spotted in the distance!

Check it out!

They're almost in full bloom

We came at a really good time

This river is located a 20 second walk from the station

So if you come out of Nakameguro station and just keep walking straight

you will find this place!

If you guys can see the petals in the water...

when the sakura start to fall off after a couple weeks

this river becomes filled with petals and it's so beautiful

So I hope I'll have a chance to come back and see them again

Are you ready to see the delicious food that we picked up at the convenience store on the way here?

We found these really yummy looking bentos

So me and Kelsey each got one

They have lots of veggies in them

Which is awesome! Because I love veggies!

I also love egg and there's a tamago-maki

and this rice has some egg on it too

These look like shrimp croquette

And a potato, some pasta

some rice with different grains in it

and we also found some sakura desserts!

So I've shown you guys sakura mochi before

But this is "spoon de taberu sakura mochi"

So, this is a sakura mochi that you can eat with a spoon

That's nice! So we won't get our hands dirty

So that is gonna be super yummy, I can tell already

And we got some drinks of course!

Because you can't do hanami without getting drunk

We got "shiroi sawa- momo aji"

These are like a light cider kinda drink

Peach flavour!

and Kelsey got a beer

and we got our chopsticks and wet tissues and we're ready to go!

Mmmm!

WHY IS THIS SO GOOD

It doesn't taste like peach it tastes like candy!!

Oh my god

It tastes like a mixture of ramune and peach

Better!

Cotton candy and peach?

Yeah yeah yeah

It kinda tastes like cream soda!

THIS IS SO GOOD

I don't drink very often, I don't really like alcohol

But this is so yummy!

Tatsuru... what's going on with your hair?

Are you a beautiful princess?

Yes yes. Let it go~ let it go~

This is what happens when Japanese people drink beer

Be careful

We just found the most delicious thing ever

so we had to buy it!

Because that's what we needed right, was more sweets

It's a sakura-an filled taiyaki!

But it's not just a regular taiyaki

It's made with a pie crust instead of the regular doughy kind

Holy crap♡

That's good huh?

It's like a pie crust, a hot pie crust

It's filled with the same filling as in sakura mochi

Two thumbs up!

If I could show my other thumb, I would!

Two!!!

This is my first time coming to Meguro River for hanami

I love it here! It's really nice!

And it's not super crowded, it's a lot less people than I was expecting

So I think I'll be coming here next year!

And probably again this year as well!

I hope you guys enjoyed my hanami video

and happy sakura viewing to all you people in Japan!

Thanks for watching! Bye!
