I'm your host, Emma and today I'm here with, we are in Kyoto best place, Sarah's favorite place.

It is indeed.

It's a beautiful place.

You know what Kyoto is famous for sweets and you know what we're sweet girls.

So we're gonna go grab some sweets from three really unique spots that you can find around kyoto.

We're gonna eat some traditional sweets, agasshi, why meaning japanese gasoline and sweets right now we're at, which is the Imperial Palace and did you know you can eat sweets here?

Yeah, I didn't, did you know you can eat sweets.

Hell no, I didn't.

And now I do.

So let's go eat some sweets at the Imperial Palace in the middle of the Imperial Palace with some very loud piano.

So hopefully this place is super zen.

You can see outside and see all these gardens around and it's super beautiful.

And I think if we weren't filming the music would be very calming and relaxing.

I just love the design, Very japanese temple, you might have all those windows.

It's very modern.

It's clearly very fresh style and we have ordered a bunch of different tea sweets.

You know kyoto very, very famous for green tea, roasted green tea comes in so many different forms.

So we have here a tamagotchi which is raw.

It's freshly made sweet and they change depending on the season.

So right now we have one that is summer and I asked the stuff and we're not sure what it is but it looks like she's like, sorry we haven't got the instruction manual yet and I'm like, okay, so I'm assuming this is a green mommy g leaf, let's go with that.

And then a freshly whisk much, you've got to have the match to pair with the sweet and there's no sugar usually in the tees here so you can have a better kind of tea and a spy sweet sweet.

We got some other things as well.

So I got this thing called a hockey.

Usually Noriaki is like two little pancakes with red bean in the middle, but this one they put ice cream and paste, red bean whipped cream and some mochi balls.

It looks really, really good.

I got a half a, we've got a combination of some beautiful ice cream cream jelly and then also some balls, red theme and then away for, so I guess we should dig in.

The flavor is so strong but it's sweet and creamy.

Creamy is a great way to describe this exquisite.

This is actually like super good.

I was worried it was going to be too much because they put so much in this hockey but they're completely knocked it out of this is like insanely good.

I think this is a super unique experience because you get to have these awesome sweet but also be in the palace grounds to think like thousands of years ago, the royal japanese family was living here.

One of the interesting things, which is the name of the imperial house in japanese is that people are commuting.

You see people riding their bikes walking through carrying shopping bags.

I actually did that when I was a radical.

So that's really cool.

Honestly I don't know how many kilometers it is but it's a big one and I just love how peaceful it is.

Especially we came right at 10 a.m. So there's not a lot of people I could imagine a week weekend, it could be a bit more and it's free to come in the imperial ground.

That's only a three minute walk from the station which is super easy to access from Kyoto station.

Just like one train line.

Each building in the grounds of the Imperial Palace has a lot of history to it.

This building itself also has a lot of history to it but it's complicated.

You know this was a different families and guests of the imperial family right now.

We're at the Con Oy residence which is very detailed.

So if you do want to learn more about it, come here and we've got a lot of signage in english, we are drinking latte roasted green tea and this is honestly Emma and I have discussed this, this is our favorite, it's the best if you guys like green tea, you have to try roasted green tea.

There's something about it, it doesn't really taste so much like green tea completely different flavor but it's still a bit earthy, still got but it's got this like roasted element to it that just lightens it up a little bit really good.

It comes in snack form as well but I think it's one of the lesser known ones.

You have to, you have to try this much, you've made it before.

I have actually made by using white beans usually and mixing it with.

That's how it gets that kind of almost chewy texture.

They always give you this wooden fork to cut it with which I always struggle with this one.

So a nice kind of texture to it.

This one's got much on the outside and inside we have the white bean chewy on the outside.

But also some maybe it's like broken up rice paper very slightly sweet on the outside and then the bean has a lot of sugar, that's the sweetest bit.

So now I'm going to balance the sugar with the butter frothy because they whisk it so nicely.

Yeah, this has been a wonderful start to the day.

I think this is a super unique spot.

Honestly some of the best green tea sweets I've ever had.

100% beautiful atmosphere.

Beautiful views.

Love it.

10 out of town.

Come back.

I'm gonna come back All right I guess from here on, let's go to our next call will spot.

Let's go get it to Kyoto station and we are going to be going to get some, I have a couple that I always buy when I come here.

So shall we explore and see what I can find.

Let's do it.

Alright, let's go.

There's a particular one that I love so so much and it's these bad boys.

They are so I might get multiple parts.

What?

That's so cute, that stuff.

Let's go.

That's good.

Yeah, let's snack on him.

Hello, we are at Starbucks.

Oh, what is this?

This is supposed to be a unique sports.

Well, don't worry about it.

Originally we were thinking, you know, unique spot.

You could grab some really cool.

I mean I get and go and just like sit in a beautiful park or find somewhere nice to sit and like do your own thing which is unique to you, but it's just so hard guys, we're gonna do it at Starbucks, so we're gonna be having a Starbucks drinks but I also recommend getting this and having them on the screen content if that's an option for you to hear some of our favorite, This is my favorite that Sarah introduced me to.

This is uh yeah, so this is from which is one of the famous like sushi makers here.

It's so, it's so good.

I wish that's definitely use it.

Yeah, no, it's amazing.

It's delicious.

They're not that expensive either.

It's about 3, 400 yen for a little packed and the packaging is so cute.

I feel like you're gonna put this in your house.

I think this is probably my favorite of me again from any in japan.

It's just a really good flavor.

It's really cute and it's so easy to eat.

I feel like if you aren't like a big fan of this is a great introduction because they're light easy and they're fun texture and it's definitely japanese.

So next we have a very traditional what is?

Yeah, because the thing is, is different things and I get so confused cause some of it is like maci with a little filling and it's all like, and some of it is super crispy, crunchy.

I feel like she is just like a macho kind of like for the soft ones, they're like texture and inside there's a lot of like feelings like uncle or like bean paste so it looks like she is just flour or rice flour and sugar combined in different forms.

Yeah, this is going to be a black sesame as you can see.

Yeah, these are honestly the most famous killed or souvenirs.

So if you have like a Japanese friend who comes out and killed or they're gonna give you this.

So I'm gonna try the crunchy one.

It's got a good SML crunch, I'm having a traditional cinnamon flavor.

This is the most popular one called Nicky.

These ones have a really nice texture inside because you've got the pace with the black sesame and then also some whole beans in there.

So it's like, it's a nice little mouth adventure.

This brand is a couple that sell it.

The show going, She is one of the most famous ones and you can see there from 16 89.

That's a lot of tradition for Okay, so next up we have some hard candy or just japanese handmade candy.

You guys probably have this in your own country.

You have it in Australia and the UK as well.

They're just so cute.

These ones have little faces on them.

They're so adorable and the heat is getting to us.

Some of them also have really nice packaging.

So like look out when you go to the shops because there's so much variety.

There's another face.

Alright, you beat that.

I love the texture.

I like to suck it a little bit then by the because it's kind of aerated.

So it's not just like a super hard candy.

It's just, it's kind of a nice french to it.

Very, I've just got a lemon one.

They are different flavors.

All right.

We have one more snack to review in this section.

Okay, what is the snack?

It is.

What's up?

Beautiful packaging.

Very beautiful.

There's lots of other snacks from this beautifully packaged series.

So I recommend trying that.

But today we're gonna have the Wasabi peanuts schemas.

Usually I don't like peanuts so I will just try it if I don't like it because I don't like peanuts.

I don't feel like the peanut flavor is strong.

Oh, it's so spicy.

Really.

I could eat the whole packet.

I don't find them spicy.

My immune to Wasabi.

It's like the like pins and needles, head of Wasabi and then it fades away immediately.

I actually quite like that, right?

I don't like peanuts but there's got this crispy kind of outer layer and I love that.

It's just so satisfying.

You can see there's one plain peanut, one plain peanut.

But it's fun.

I feel like this way, especially if it's nice weather out.

You can just get whatever you want from the army.

I guess stores and then go and eat it with your friends in the park or something.

Oh, we'll give them a gift.

Yeah.

So all of the souvenirs we bought today actually keep really well and if you're worried about, will it make it by the time I get back to my home country after traveling.

Yeah.

Almost all of these except for like the, they're like a month or like like a month.

Whereas like the other, the ones they're like good for even longer.

Usually a lot of japanese traditional sweets don't hold that long, like three days if they're really fresh ones.

Keep in mind when you buy your souvenirs.

Okay.

I don't know about you but I have had enough sweets for one day.

I have reached my peak as well.

Yeah.

And we also have some stuff to do now for another video.

So we'll see you tomorrow for our final spot in Kyoto.

So sleep well, Sleep well see you tomorrow.

Hello, everybody welcome back to day two in Kyoto and we're just on our way to a little cafe in John, it's so hot.

Oh my gosh, the heat never stops.

But neither does the party.

Hello?

We made it inside the cafe.

We are at a cafe called.

It's a cute quiet little place located in the middle of john and it's down one of the side streets so actually we couldn't film on the way in here because they're very, very strict about filming in because of all of the Michael and you've got to be really careful.

I think it's because a lot of tourism and people just putting cameras in their faces.

So when you come here just respect the laws and then or you'll get fined a lot of money.

So yeah, don't film and cheon but were allowed to film inside here and it's really great.

We've ordered some things off the menu and we had a little chat to one of the cafe owners and we found out that her family were actually Michael and also we have this beautiful little garden behind us which is super nice and the geisha come here in the evening.

I don't know like normal customers can come in.

Yeah, because the cafe closes at five p.m. I'm excited.

It feels very traditional, authentic and I've never been to a cafe or restaurant in.

I felt like when I first came and visit again.

I thought it was very hard and maybe expensive but there's actually affordable places.

Yeah.

I feel just very intimidated when I come to you because it's like a lot of time.

It looks so fancy.

I am I allowed to come in So let's see what kind of stuff we get.

Okay our order has arrived.

We have the nominee and then I have the colorful shoes which are made from tofu which I feel like is famous for its for the silk screen.

So it's definitely something you've got to like if you haven't tried it before.

We have, we also have like, I think that's some red bean paste cream I believe whipped cream and then what do you call the salty seaweed and mysterious blue.
