Exploring One Of Tokyo’s Most Famous Street Food Markets + Coffee & Fashion In Japan
Oh y’all, it’s day three and we’re kicking things off, right? My first mission of the day, navigate the Tokyo train system like a pro by myself, might I say, and make it all the way down here to the legendary Sukiji Market. This is a popular tourist area with fresh seafood and street food galar. I’m talking sushi, sashimi, and skewers of everything you can imagine. I got to be honest, I didn’t realize how deep this place went. There are all kinds of shops and alleys to explore. I could seriously stay here all day if the market didn’t close so early. From the moment you step over here, you smell seafood grilling and you see all kinds of savory snacks. I tried all kinds of things from giant octopus crackers, Japanese omelets, tuna seared with a blowtorrch. I mean, there’s no end to this. But first, we’re going to start it off with some Wagu steak. I found a vendor selling it for a,000 yen. That’s about $7 USD. I had to give it a try and see if it was really good quality steak. I mean, in the US, the amount of steak they gave me would probably be $80, and this is $7. That’s a huge difference. Okay, I got WGO beef for a,000 yen. Look, pretty good. Let’s see. It’s a fatty piece up top there. I can’t really believe some of the best steak I ever had in my life was on a stick and it was about $7. Pretty much melty in your mouth. And that seasoning they put on there was perfect. That’s delicious. I’m pretty sure there’s better W goo out there, but this was good enough. I’m satisfied. Imagine if you injected your steak with all that butter that you used to baseaste it. That’s wag goo. 10 out of 10. All right. And then we got like this mochi. It’s white peach and strawberry on top. It’s a good strawberry. Let me get the mochi. It’s really doughy and sugary. It’s almost like a a warm gummy bear. Now, this street right here. This was pretty popular in the market. It’s basically like a seafood cracker. They pour some batter down on that griddle, slap a seafood item on it, and press it until it turns into a super thin cracker. I chose octopus because I felt like that would be the easiest seafood to cracker fry. For those who never had octopus, it kind of tastes like chicken. It’s like a octopus cracker. Let’s see how this tastes. Bird tried to get me. All right, we got our It’s like a octopus cracker. I like octopus. I never had it like this before. Let’s see what it’s looking like. The flavor kind of reminds me of those like Cajun crackers they sell by the crab dip by the seafood and like the supermarkets back home. Pretty good. I can’t lie. That’s like It’s a lot. 10 out of 10. Let’s see what else we can get into. Wait, what is that? I keep seeing them walking around with it. No, not not the camera. Sorry. Whatever you’re eating. Oh, it’s like a a octopus cracker. Only in Japan. Yes. Only. Have you tried a tapyaki yet? Yes. That’s my favorite. Really? My favorite is okonamiyaki. Okonamiyaki. What is that? It’s like a savory pancake. You get like pork, chicken, shrimp, you know, whatever you really want in it and then throw it all together and they serve it on a massive hot plate. Bro, I’m telling you. That sounds wonderful. Hallelujah. Speaking of okanami yaki, I found this kind of yaki. I’m not sure what this is. I think the stuff on top is called bonito flakes. It’s like some dried fish. Pretty savory, pretty sweet. I think cabbage stood out to me. I think it was cabbage, but it was full of all kinds of vegetables and it was like a hash brown kind of texture. Look at that. Oh, I don’t know what’s in it. It looks like a hash brown, though. We going to get into it. There was a broth or some kind of bullion kind of flavor that stood out as well. And as you can tell by the look on my face, my mouth was in shambles. They warned me that it was hot. I don’t lie, it just burnt my whole mouth. And I’m kind of mad. It was so hot I couldn’t taste none of that. All right, we got to find something to drink. Yeah, I got like third degree burn in my mouth. So, I was off to find the nearest drink possible. And luckily, I ran into this omelette vendor that was also selling a Sai beer. We’ll get to the beer because it actually became one of my favorite beers. But look how much care this woman puts into making this omelette. All right, I got my Japanese omelette. Oh, just a regular omelette. This thick and I think it has a dashi in it. It’s like a fish sauce. See that? You know, it’s a good quality egg cuz it got that that real orangey yolk. But first, I got to get some of this beer cuz remember I burnt my mouth earlier. I couldn’t even give y’all a proper score because my mouth was just scorched. I never had this kind of beer. Super Dry. I know it’s a clothing brand. It’s called Super Dry. So, let’s see how this beer is. Man, I swear this might be the most refreshing beer of all time. I really wish we sold these back home. Yes. Great. Super dry. Yeah. 10 out of 10. I promise I’m not biased just because I love Japan. That beer is delicious. She made this with care. [Music] It’s sweet. I wasn’t expecting that. It tastes like a breakfast corn dog. I like it. I got no complaints. I give it a 10. There was no way I was going to leave this market without getting some more of that Wagu steak. And you see that tuna right beside it? Fire. It’s something about food on the stick here. The omelette, the steak, the tuna. It all was a 10 out of 10. I mean, I love this so much. I tried to tell them how good it was in Japanese. Just listen closely at the end. Oreato go some desta. I had to get some more of that wagu before we left. And I got some grilled tuna, too. Get that. See what that’s about. All right. This might be the last bite of the day. I got a tuna. The ton yakur. Good. say pretty much anything on a stick here is pretty good. And I had to get some more goo. 10 out of 10 all day. Beyond all the vibrant chaos of the crowds, observing how everyone moves with respect for each other and their environment, it’s all a part of this incredible underlying appreciation for detail and harmony that defines Japanese culture. It’s what makes moments like these much more than just a walk through the market from an outsider looking in, of course. Got another bag of coffee. It’s their special blend. I think it’s like two different blends. This is like a Brazilian and I think a Jamaican blend. They pride theirself on John Lennon once coming to their um you know to their coffee shop. And that makes sense cuz I think his wife was Japanese. You know, they probably came here plenty of times to be honest. I got a vanilla latte because I already know this is going to be a long day. Let’s see. That’s good. Tastes like it got some alcohol in it. I ain’t going to lie. I know they ain’t spiked me though. That’s a good cup of coffee. That’s one of the better cup of coffees I ever had. I would give it more than a 10 out of 10 if I could. All right, y’all. Let’s get out of the sush. I don’t know how to pronounce it. Sui Sukiji market. We’re leaving the Sukiji market. What the heck was that? Anyway, to get back to the train station, I needed to get back to Scottree town. I had to take a route through the Genza shopping district. I got these handmade ADSR sunglasses on and my only sukas on I got in Harajuku yesterday. What a good cup of coffee. I think I’m spiffy enough to hit the streets again. I told y’all it’s a fashion show out here. Chadora becomes a stylish pedestrian prominade at times. Seriously, I saw like a 70year-old man rocking a purple holographic Tom Ford suit. Straight put my outfit to shame, boy. But anyway, I went to Uniqlo and got a couple graphic TE’s, but ended up finding a coffee shop upstairs. All right, I stopped at uh Uniqlo. Hope I’m not butchering that. And I bought a couple graphic TE’s and they had a coffee shop upstairs. So, I bought a bag of their geisha blend. It’s supposed to have some floral notes and a lemon twist. And apparently it’s supposed to be a pretty expensive coffee, but they sell it here for pretty cheap. So, we’re going to try it out. Even with the lemon zest kind of notes, this was the most unacidic coffee I ever had. It’s like lemon zest. I like it. If you got a ridden roasted date on your bag, that’s how you know it’s fresh. That’s three bags of beans so far. See how many I have about before my trip in Japan is over. [Music] Yo, these waffles smelled so good, man. I floated over there like a cartoon. Got strawberry. It’s warm. Smells great. I like the strawberry aroma coming off this waffle was intoxicating. That’s good. should have got two. They say every success has an origin story, right?
