What is that flavor?

Hey guys, today, my friend Emma Toki Toki traveler here on youtube has joined me.

We're gonna have some fun with you guys trying some weird japanese breakfast cereals.

How has your experience with serial been in japan?

What was your impression of the japanese cereal selection?

I feel like it's only recently that it's become a thing.

Yeah.

Yeah, for ages.

It's just been sugar granola.

Like corn flakes, roasted corn flakes, sometimes grand flake.

That was all they had for years.

And just recently they're coming out with some creative flavors.

But I feel like they kind of skipped the step of good cereals and went to like crazy cereals.

We have seven cereals to try today that Emma and I have collected from our supermarkets and I'm really excited because some of them are pretty strange.

Some of them I think are going to be good.

Let's get started.

What flavor should we start with?

That's so hot.

You've got bread cereal.

I've tried this one before.

This is donut mark.

I'm so excited for this match to chocolate in my flake flavor.

This is vanilla ice cream flavored corn flakes frozen on it.

It has another toasted bread cereal this time.

It's apple cinnamon flavor and then this is nuts.

This is curry granola.

So I don't know what they were thinking.

I'm very intrigued by this roasted again.

My, so it's brown rice flakes.

They smell so good, freshly brewed.

Actually think I'm most excited for these ones.

They look really nice, like shiny and so this is what the flakes look like.

Nice and crispy of the sound.

They're not sweet.

I was really hoping they'd be sweet.

Really good.

Mm Oh wow.

I really love how strong the tea flavor is.

They really just taste like a cup of cold man.

I love these.

My family is at her supermarket.

Mine doesn't have them.

They're pretty rare.

I think I've only seen them a couple of times.

I would give that a nine out of 10.

I love those eight out of 10.

Just because I really like sweet cereal and it was like a little sweeter sweeter.

I'm actually thinking they're like very sweet.

Yeah, I think because I was expecting them to be unsweetened.

I don't know how you're going to do with it and what a cool souvenir that would be if you came to Japan and brought your friends like roasted green tea cereal next.

I want you to try the bread cereal.

Okay, you've tried this one before.

I tried it.

It was just horrendous.

It sounds good though.

Like french toast, a little sweet pieces of bread there, stretching it by calling it french toast flavor.

It just tasted like a toasted baguette.

Okay, I'm going to try and keep an open mind.

It smells amazing.

I'll give it that it smells smells very good.

It smells like maple syrup.

It's got pieces of strawberry and mango in it, which were the good part myself too much.

Yeah, definitely.

You won't want to eat that.

We got our toasted bread pieces are strawberries and there's a little mango there.

I'm worried that I'm actually gonna like this one.

I hope you do because I want you to keep the bag because I don't want to bring it.

Yeah.

Okay.

I hate it.

A lot.

A lot of the flavor is lost.

You smell it and it smells so strong.

It's like, oh, bread tastes like toast with milk.

Oh, and the strawberries are so intense.

They're huge.

They're huge.

And they're so like sour.

I know you're like fruit.

Maybe it'll be good if I eat it with the fruit.

Alright, I'm good.

Um I give this honestly a one.

It's not like repulsive.

So I'll give it a two out of 10.

I give it a four or five.

Okay, that's generous.

What we've got next.

We got the ice cream flavored corn flakes from frozen.

Feel like you can't mess that up.

Oh, it smells like an ice cream cone.

Oh, it's gonna be so good.

So it just looks like frosted cornflakes.

And imagine it smells like a soft serve ice cream from Mcdonald's mm hmm.

Kinda tastes like like lucky charms.

So sweet.

That's very sweet.

It's like a mixture of the flavor of the charm cereal coming down my nose when you breathe out.

Is that weird to you.

It is a very different taste like normal frosted cereal.

Mm I really like her.

I give this one an eight.

The flavor is very nice.

It's a little too sweet for me.

Like I wouldn't, probably wouldn't buy it to eat as a breakfast food.

But would you like a 7, 7.5?

It's yeah, it's not as good as the, I really like the whole idea and everything with the whole, So this one is like, it's a sweet, nice cereal.

Okay, next, we're going to try donut mart because this is the one I'm most intrigued by.

Its the flavor of glazed doughnuts.

Apparently it also says sugar taste.

Oh no, yes.

A she so sugar taste light sweetness.

So they're not too sweet.

And then there's lots going on in this package.

So it's got like a crunchy uh texture but also fun wadi, which means soft, so crunchy and soft.

They're really hyping it up.

Okay, this is another bread cereal disaster is the only one that I've actually had before.

I think I had him for christmas.

A little treat thing that shocked me was the size of the doughnut.

Oh, currently tell from the outside.

Oh God yeah, I was expecting a little cheerios.

They're really big, big one on the screen and I'm like, they're really big, wow.

Let me just smell nice.

But at this time.

The last packet I had smelled really weird.

Oh no, I knew it.

It's done by the same company as the bread one.

They're both by Nisshin Wait what?

Oh, I see what they mean by like crunchy but but fluffy.

It's like a very delicate texture.

That kind of dissolves when you bite it.

I wouldn't say that.

It tastes like glazed donuts.

This is kind of sweet.

But like, I don't know.

I couldn't place the flavor.

No, me neither.

What is what are they made out of?

Just flour and they're not bad.

Yeah, it's like a nice sweet cereal.

It's fun and the texture is nice.

But yeah.

Okay.

Well they're not bad.

Like the bread one definitely wouldn't buy them again.

They're not good enough to want to eat again.

They're not horrible.

I'd give them a five out of 10.

I really like the texture.

Mm I go seven.

I wish they were smaller.

I feel like if they were smaller I might want them again, you can only fit three on a spoon.

That's so weird.

Bread serial number two.

Okay.

This one sounds like it has more potential for flavor though, definitely apple cinnamon apples with the peel on.

They have emphasized that apples with peel and raisins in it.

All right.

It looks just like the other one smells like it too.

Oh, I don't like that smell.

Wait, I have an apple with the peel on it.

Like there's so much of its appeal.

What was the other thing raisins?

I didn't even see a raisin in there.

They're probably all at the bottom.

Oh, there's one going in the bag.

That is the hottest.

Oh my God, it's so tiny.

Oh no man, this is worse than the other one.

What is that flavor?

Who made these?

No, I really don't like that.

Like I don't even I really don't want to finish it.

My little bit of apple.

Mm So gross.

I'm giving this to mm Yeah.

I like the texture of the one reason that I okay, we need to treat ourselves.

Yeah.

That mess.

We got the Hershey's chocolate bits to white chocolate.

White chocolate.

This is the first time I've seen the macho one they always have like, this was kind of like a special one And it says that you can also eat it by itself.

You don't need to put it with milk.

You can use it as a topping for pudding or hot chocolate.

Oh no.

Oh, it smells like dog food.

Maybe the chocolate is all within so we can't smell it yet.

Okay, so it looks like this.

I thought it would look darker.

I don't like the appearance.

Let's say that it doesn't look overly because you're supposed to be the good one.

Yeah, this one looks great.

The package makes it look delicious.

No.

Oh there it is.

I was like, where's the flavor?

I really don't like it Again.

The outside is more like bread inside is so dry.

They're very dry.

They're not.

No, they're very hard and like it's very underwhelming.

It's definitely way too dry and the inside the chocolate part isn't like a like a runny chocolate.

It's just like hard, wow.

I really was going to be good.

Just like Kellogg's her, she's like really big names.

I thought they would have done a good job.

I'm really surprised that the plain version of this one has lasted so long.

Is it selling enough?

It must be good because they're everywhere.

Like I used to have rabbits and sometimes I would try their treats.

That's what it tastes like.

Again, I'd give that like a two.

Honestly.

As bad as the bread cereal.

Alright, are you mentally prepared for this?

I don't know if I ever will.

Let's read the package.

Like why did they come up with this?

So no mama granola.

So this one tells you not to put milk on it to just eat it as is so Alright, that makes a little more sense.

It's more like a snack.

Like a savory snack.

Oh, it's got chicken in it, dried chicken.

Didn't notice that I'll be sharing my chicken pieces.

Wait a ziploc bag.

That's kind of cool.

They've made it a ziploc bag so you can just have a little bit and then close it back up, throw it away.

It smells very good.

It smells like curry cup noodles.

I'm just hoping.

I'm wondering if it's gonna be good actually.

Well they're big chunks go for it.

Okay.

I don't like how sweet it is.

It's like it has the sweetness of a regular granola, but with a very curry flavor.

I thought, okay, maybe it'll be good because it'll be like a salty curry little dry snack.

Why is it sweet?

It's a shame because I feel like it's close, it's close to being edible.

I'm really glad we didn't eat that with milk.

Glad we read the package.

It would have been horrible.

But honestly, I prefer it to the bread cereal that chocolate match.

I think that was horrible.

I would give this a three Japan tried.
