Today we’ll be trying Japanese Burger King including the 1B Yeti Burger going on a magical whiskey tour and exploring the most beautiful canal in the north of Japan I’m really excited today because we’re at the Nika yoichi whiskey Distillery this is one of the most beautiful buildings I’ve ever seen in my

Life maybe it’s because we don’t see snow back in Australia but the snow covered trees and old style European architecture made it feel like we were in a Christmas movie this is one of the best experiences we’ve had so far and cost nothing they give you a whiskey

Tasting you get to try three whiskies they recommended we drink this one twice Up or On the Rocks I had mine twice up I’m Scared actually SC much more drink of sted it’s quite good I chose to have my single Mal Yi with ice so on the Rocks so this is the super niker as a high ball so about 13 carbonated water and three blocks of ice according to their instructions I think I like it in

Highball form I like the buiness this tastes like a high does that mean I can’t tell the difference between the two types of whiskey so this is the Apple One smells kind of Sweet kind of tastes like apple syrup really this one’s good it’s like it’s sweet it doesn’t taste like whiskey this sounds really nice we should buy one of these okay let’s do it I am thoroughly Tipsy the tour is in Japanese but that doesn’t distract from

The enjoyment at all you get to watch part of the whiskey distilling process up close we learned about the epic history of the founder of niika whiskey who was the father of Japanese whiskey he wanted to bring authentic whiskey to Japan so he embarked on a pilgrimage to Scotland studying chemistry at

University and eventually making his way back to Japan with his Scottish wife U it’s a bit sunny at the moment so I can’t really see properly but this has been such an enjoyable experience if you enjoyed this video so far consider subscribing for more Japan content so we’ve just finished going through the

Museum and I was really surprised that I enjoyed it it was really interesting so some interesting fact the founder came back to Japan help sori develop yamazaki eventually went out on his own and started Nika because took 5 years minimum for the whiskey to mature they started off selling apple juice for the

First few years and then apple wine and apple Brandy I’m hungry luckily they have a restaurant here so let’s go try some lunch it’s supposed to be a mix of Scottish and Japanese dis this is a nice way to spend your morning I didn’t realize that you could spend so many

Hours at a whiskey Distillery cuz the museum is actually quite interesting and the tour is quite interesting too and then you get to just sit here in a nice quiet restaurant and enjoy like a coffee and some food and dessert so I like it we decided to get their

Assortments this is the assortment of seven dishes and I have the five item tasting dish some of them overlap with what dip has so I’ll just try the different on let’s give it a taste they’ve given us tons but I’m just going to use chopsticks let’s start off with this one

This one’s very interesting looking it looks like a mix of meats H it’s quite good it’s got some texture to it it’s sweet it’s seafoody this is it looks like a kich that good I’m pleasantly surprised I think this is this cream cheese on a cron M very interesting I don’t know how

I feel about this one but it’s like gingerbread bread like soft bread or like a slice ofin salty cream cheese I have no idea what it is but let’s give it a try try it’s meaty and it tastes good but I’m not sure what it is don’t know what this Is this tastes like something we’ve had before just like deep fried pun chees with some meat and onion and juices on the inside quite delicious so again looks like some mixture of meat just toast our cold cured meat so we’re going to try this one next T like dry fish pretty

Good this one’s like seven with some pickled onions I think yeah pretty good we have a shepherd’s pie a mini one o that looks pretty good but it’s good that is good chefer P bit of dried fish this one tastes like smoked salmon cream cheese all in a bit of fish it’s really

Interesting I crunch this One this is just some kind of deep fried porn again it’s kind of Sweet look all in all it’s actually quite a good Tas in dis the only thing is my eyes are bigger than my stomach so it doesn’t look like a lot but it’s actually what is it we’ve got vanilla sausa ice cream with a side of karoo 17year pure M

Let’s try the ice cream best this is what I now associate with Cado ice cream it tastes like milk do I just have a super Whiskey okay so whiskey F followed by ice cream is a great Chaser strong yeah I feel toy Already it’s interesting cheesecake it’s kind of a mixture between like custard and cheesecake now we go check out the merch store and see what they have there’s actually quite a lot of interesting things it’s quite a big shop that surprised me not only do they have alcohol but they have souvenirs

Chocolates jams and other nice little gifts as well oh and the coolest thing is they sell Distillery exclusives there are literally limited edition whiskies you can only buy from this one shop in the whole world so like always we went a bit crazy now we have to log this around

Can I see a lot of alcohol two coasters and some uh chocolate covered coffee beans in a whiskey barrel yeah it’s um a very heavy bag yes and we still have to go to otaru I hope this bag holds how sad would it be if the bag broke yeah if

Feels like it w we dropped by otaro this beautiful city is also another popular day trip from Sao and is a good trip to pair with a whiskey Distillery we’re just walking along Oto Canal now and it is so beautiful I’ve never been to Europe but it somehow gives St Europe

Vibes maybe because of the canal um maybe feels like Venice and I’ve never been to Venice either but it it’s just so beautiful and once again it feels like Christmas there are trees over there with snow on the branches it’s really nice you guys should really come

Me to it looks like you can even get a boat ride around Here looks like someone dug love hearts into the snow I like a giant Saturn we are looking for a place of dinner tonight and we came across this cool looking alley with some lanterns so we’re going to go down and explore let’s Go nearly fell interesting this area seems to have little restaurants but some of them don’t seem to is open this place is beautiful he looks like Harry Potter this is kind of cool yeah it’s like a little maze or something I just wish the um ground was less s Fre it’s an icle coming out of a lantern it’s really quite solid that’s crazy that was a cool little find yeah it’s a cute little Alleyway it looks so much better in real life and it does on the camera though shame that not many shops that open yeah it’s like half

Closed wonder why it’s definitely a cool photo spot though there are a lot of people taking photos as well that’s TR pad real this might get a little bit weird but I saw on the map that there was the sea at the edge of town so I

Made a be line for it I’m not sure what I expected but it got really dark and eerily quiet staring into the abyss really made me realize my mortality you know if I fell in that’s it every fiber of my being was telling me to get away

From the dark calm Waters that’s why I we at Burger King Japan has all the American food chains but somehow they do it better like Donald is better Starbucks is better not sure about PC we haven’t tried Burger King yet and I wasn’t planning to but I walked past and

There was this huge poster of something called the yeti burger and it was 1 lb as in instead of A4 pounder it weighs 1 lb so I really wanted to see if I could eat it all and actually it looks delicious and I’m really hungry I also

Got chili cheese fries chocolate pie as well so I made it a sip look at this absolute unit there’s four patties cheese and the patties are bigger than the bun I just had jaw surgery so I don’t think I can open my mouth big enough to eat this so let’s try

That is actually pretty good that’s a very satisfying B they feel crispy these are good onion rings Hungry Jacks in Australia have changed the onion rings and they’re not as good these are the original onion rings so you sp that is a big bit of chicken it’s just sticking out got double the protein with chicken and beef I might regret

This it’s really good it tastes like a Whopper bger but then you’ve got the crunch of the chicken tender in there it’s actually really good I can’t remember the last I had hungry DS or B so after missing out on Mac’s limited edition chocolate pie who thought we’d give this one a Go now it’s definitely not as dark in color as the McDonald’s One it’s also not as crispy and the chocolate feelings not as good either I don’t know what it is it’s just not the Same yeah bit disappointing L time for the chili cheese FR let’s give it a go it’s actually pretty good chili cheese fries got a bit of spice bit of Cheese chips are quite well done too I kind of regret not getting just normal chips at all delicious well I’m actually not that full it’s just right so all right we managed to finish the one pounder chili cheese fries onion rings two chocolate pies two drinks what else think we have is
