Alright good afternoon guys.
It is time for another street food video.
Today we're going to be taking you guys to Yokohama (横浜).
It is 30 minutes south from Shibuya station (渋谷駅).
So yeah a bit of an excursion for food.
Yeah, first time leaving Tokyo and we've brought our appetites.
We barely ate anything today.
You also brought a pretty awesome shirt.
I know I did.
What do you think man?
I love it.
I just got it yesterday.
An all-time favorite already.
All I can say is hello kitty.
Alright guys so I didn't really explain why we're going to Yokohama but this is basically
home to the largest Chinatown (横浜中華街) in all of Japan and also one of the largest
Chinatown's in all of Asia.
So perfect place for street food.
We're going to have a mix of Japanese street food and Chinese street food.
So it should be really tasty.
Right now we are walking to the metro station and we're going to be taking it to Shibuya
station and then transferring to a different line and traveling south with about 30 minutes
or so.
So it should be pretty straightforward but we'll show you how to get there in case you
also want to do this journey.
There is Sam.
So we made it to Shibuya and now we are looking for the Toyoko line and at first it can be
a little overwhelming trying to navigate the system here in Tokyo just because you have
so many different lines but everything is really well marked so if you just stop and
read the signs it is possible to figure it out on your own and if not they do have info
points as well where you can ask for assistance.
So yeah, we're on our way we're transferring right now to the second line and we should
be in Yokohama (横浜) in just 30 minutes.
So we have made it to
Yokohama Chinatown (横浜中華街).
It took us a while to get here.
It was not 30 minutes.
I have a feeling there has to be an express train and we were just on the really really
slow one because we've been traveling for a while.
We are here.
We are starving.
Like hangry stage.
And we're ready to eat.
And it is super windy here as well.
Super windy.
Start of the rainy season and there is just wind blowing but anyways we're going to roll
with it.
Let's go find some food.
So many options this all looks so good.
Wow look at this.
Okay so let me show you what I got.
They had a sweet and savory selection and man this is burning in my hands.
Yeah, they had a great selection.
Woah.
Freshly steamed.
Yep.
I went for the one that has meat and an egg inside.
So I went savory and yeah let's dig in.
Here we go.
I've let this cool down for a few moments so I think it is safe to finally bite into
it.
Let's see.
Not going to burn your lips too badly?
Not too too bad.
Mmmm.
Oh check that out.
Wow.
So we've got some beef, onions, some egg in there.
There is a lot going on.
Yeah.
Tasty?
Mmmmhmm.
Yeah.
Really good and the bread does look quite thick.
Yep.
But it is very spongy.
Okay.
It is very fluffy airy bread.
How much was it?
This was 500 Yen.
Oh not bad.
So like four something US dollars.
Mmmhmm.
A good start.
You've taken a pretty good gnaw into that already.
Yes I have.
There is a little bit left.
Feeding the cat right here.
Mmmm.
Oh yeah.
Especially like the sauce.
It is just so savory and good.
So which one did you get Rob?
I got the one with the shrimps.
It is like a little seafood kind of stir-fry sauce.
Wow, man.
It is nice.
It is just really really hot.
Yeah yeah.
So you need to be like careful with it or else you will for sure burn your mouth.
So what does it taste like man?
It just tastes good.
It tastes good.
It kind of has a tangy salsa taste to it but notice look it is basically just bread.
Yeah yeah.
The filling looks like it fills most of it.
Hahaha.
But it doesn't.
The filling is definitely small.
It is basically hey I'll tell you what the filling is it is just going to fill your stomach
up with a lot of bread.
Hahaha.
Is it nice.
Yeah.
Am I glad I bought it.
Yeah.
Would I go back and buy another one.
Probably not.
We found our next little food stop.
We have ordered a little try of shui mei this was 380 Yen and you get three.
This is basically pork and shrimp.
Just little steamed dumplings.
It looks really good.
And then we also got another treat right underneath.
These are sesame balls which Sam just could not resist so we're going to be having some
of those later.
But let's start with savory.
Alright time to try it.
Alright I just had the shrimp one which was delicious.
Yeah.
Let's move on to the next.
I think that is pork.
Mmmm.
What do you think of that?
Wow.
That is really flavorful.
I'm usually not a fan of the pork.
The shrimp is still my favorite but the pork one is pretty good.
It is so nice to be having dim sum on a skewer here.
I know.
It is so tasty.
We haven't had any since Hong Kong.
It has been a long time since we had some.
Mmmhmm.
Maybe I'll leave you one.
And what was the price of that?
This was 380 Yen for three of them.
Wow.
So this is one of your favorites right here.
All time favorite dim sum so basically it is a ball coated in sesame seeds and inside
there is usually something sweet.
Either sesame paste or red bean paste.
Alright.
So I'll find out what it is.
Wow.
These looks so good.
Oh yeah.
Mmmm.
It is crunchy on the outside and then look at this look at how much filling you've got
in there.
That is just outstanding.
This is just so good.
It is like it is incredible that I'm already having dessert already this early into the
street food taste test.
So the price of these bad boys you get three of them they're pretty big it is 310 Yen so
under three US bucks.
A pretty good deal.
We are just on a roll with the sweets.
We came across a place that has egg tarts.
And I mean I feel like we've had these all over the world.
Macau.
Portugal.
Brazil.
There is always a variation of these egg tarts.
We haven't had them in Japan so exciting times.
Let's have them here.
And these were 180 Yen per egg tart.
Those look so good.
Oh my gosh.
Mmmm.
It is almost like pudding.
That is so creamy and sweet in there.
Give that a little squeeze for us.
A little squeeze.
There you go.
Woah!
Look at that.
And it has got a layer of caramelized sugar on top so yeah this is pretty tasty.
I have to say I think it is a bit pricey.
A 180 Yen for a little bite but it is good.
The quality is outstanding and I'm glad can you leave me a little bit.
Hahaha.
I can leave you a little bit yes.
Thank you.
What is leftover.
Well this is what is left.
Let's try it.
Oh that is so good.
That is so creamy and smooth and pudding like.
And I love the flakiness of the tart.
That is delicious.
Absolutely delicious.
So there are lots of different shops serving up these egg tarts.
The shop we went to is by no means the only one.
Check this out.
This one is just right across the street.
Alright guys so Yokohama street Chinatown (横浜中華街) is a great place for street
food but if street food is not your thing you also have a whole bunch of Chinese restaurants
to choose from and a lot of them are buffets so you pay a set fee and then you can eat
as much as you want so definitely lots of food options here in Yokohama.
This has been great so far.
I mean we've only eaten at a couple of places and I'm already loving it.
So let's see what else we can find.
So we have now turned down one of the little side streets here in Chinatown (横浜中華街)
and what I find really interesting is that it is not just all street food and restaurants.
Down the little side streets we're also seeing like Chinese supermarkets.
You have like massage parlors focusing on Chinese medicine and reflexology and you've
got souvenir shops.
I mean places to buy decorations for your home.
And it is just so pretty to walk down these side streets as well because you have the
red paper lanterns and the lights are starting to come on because it is late in the afternoon.
So yeah it is pretty cool.
I'm enjoying it so far.
But we are still on the hunt for food.
That is the plan.
Finding more food.
Are you snacking on stuff?
Yeah.
More food.
Woah.
Ginger.
It is so strong.
Like I'm literally almost coughing when I eat it.
That is when you know it is good.
Gent over here has been dying for a bowl of soup.
I know.
I just like the street food is nice but a lot of them are repetitive.
I think we've had a lot of the options that they've had here.
I'm sure there is more we can always fit more in here but there is just endless restaurants
row upon row upon row and I feel like almost not going into them is kind of missing out
on part of the experience.
Yeah.
And I'm really dying for a bowl of soup.
Let's get in.
Let's go.
The food has arrived.
And first of all let's just talk about the size of my bowl.
Bigger than my head I would say.
It is a behemoth bowl.
This could easily feed two people.
Um so yeah well luckily there is three of us.
Yeah there you go I'll share.
So you've got some thin noodles.
It looks like some ground beef.
Some baby bok choy.
This orange stuff looks like spicy sesame oil.
And yeah let's try the broth first.
How is it?
Wow.
That is spicy.
Spicy?
Yeah.
That is good.
It looks spicy oh wow.
It is spicy.
You're coughing.
So yeah let's try.
Oh, even mint leaves.
That is going to be interesting.
Wow.
Initially you had ordered soup but they didn't have it available.
They didn't have that.
And that is an okay thing because I got one of my favorite dishes here which is Mapo Tofu.
It is tofu in like a very savory sauce.
So let's try that out.
But it in some bowl of rice.
It came with rice.
Mmmm.
That sauce is just divine.
So savory and woah delayed onset with that spice.
Really really good though.
Super flavorful.
Oh my gosh we are stuffed.
Feeling stuffed.
We are stuffed.
I don't think we needed that much food because we had already been eating a bit of street
food and we're still planning to eat some more.
So that was just like a food bomb.
And in all fairness the portions were massive, the food quality was excellent though.
And my Mapo Tofu was 1200 Yen and your soup was 800 Yen so 2000 Yen total.
Decent value.
Under 20 bucks for the two of us to eat.
And yeah let's see what else we can find here.
More food.
What have you got in that cute looking face.
Oh my!
So they had a whole bunch of sweet and savory options.
Kind of like the first place we went to except these are cuter.
And for the sweet ones they had chocolate custard, strawberry custard and this one is
matcha custard.
So green tea flavor and I don't know if you can really see because it is starting to get
dark but this is a green panda.
It is like a light soft, green.
So yeah we're going to be digging into this.
Oh my gosh you just bit into the panda.
This is mostly bread.
But you've got to bite deeper.
This is disappointing.
You've got to bite deeper to get into that.
That was a big bite.
Oh was it?
Look at how thick the bread is.
Okay.
It is just a lot of dough.
So it looks cuter a lot better than it tastes.
I'm chewing on green tea flavored bread.
I'll try a bite.
Sam your turn.
Alright.
The name of the game is to get to the middle stuff.
Look Audrey that is where it is.
That is good.
Do you like it?
I do.
I do.
Better than the savory one?
No, not better but just different.
Okay.
Last street food item of the day.
We're going to be getting some bubble tea before we go back to that station.
We've had this on our mind for a while.
Woah.
We are beyond stuffed.
My belly is protruding at the moment.
I'm counting my little coins over here.
Oh my gosh.
It is going to be 350 Yen.
Get one.
We don't need our own.
Yes.
Well last but not least.
Bubble tea.
It says this is my favorite mmmm so delicious.
So delicious.
What is your favorite drink?
You know what is next?
You've got to pop that straw in there hard.
Pop it hard.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
That is how we do it.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Mmm.
Is it good?
That is pretty good.
It is not quite as thick and syrupy as the ones we were having in Hong Kong and Taiwan
but it'll do.
It is refreshing.
Mmmm.
There is a tapioca.
That is my favorite part.
That is the best part.
Little tapioca balls.
So I hope you enjoyed our little street food tour of Chinatown (横浜中華街) here in
Yokohama (横浜).
We had a really fun time just eating so much food.
It was delicious.
Yeah.
I'm leaving here stuffed and I don't feel like we spent that much money.
No.
So yeah that was cool.
So yeah if you're planning to travel to Japan and you're going to be in Tokyo it is super
easy to get to Yokohama (横浜).
It may not take 30 minutes like we thought but an hour isn't so bad.
No, so yeah come check it out.
And highly highly recommended.
So we'll see you guys in the next video.
Bye for now.
Tata.
