We experienced yet another rainy day in Takayama, so we decided to try some Japanese desserts at a traditional tea house. We stumbled upon this place by chance and what better way to stay dry?
In this video, we try matcha green tea, roasted tea, warabimochi with ice cream (jelly-like mochi with toasted soybean powder), and a sampler plate with 4 Japanese sweet cakes. The setting was perfect; low tables, cushions, tatami floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows where we could watch the rainy day go by.
If you happen to visit Takayama when during a bad stretch of weather, this is the perfect rainy day activity.

Trying Japanese Desserts at a Traditional Tea House in Takayama, Japan:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world. Our most recent trip was to Japan where we spent 2 months traveling around the country and visiting the following destinations: Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Nikko, Takayama, Yokohama, Odaiba, Shirakawa-gō and Takao.
During our stay, we visited a mixture of big cities and small rural towns, where we enjoyed eating Japanese street food, trying traditional Japanese cuisine, visiting local attractions and staying in unique accommodations (such as capsule hotels and ryokans) that we are now going to share with you on this channel. The combination and contrast of visiting futuristic cities and traditional countryside areas is what makes travel to Japan so fascinating. Ultra modern versus traditional. This is the essence of Japan.
Our trip to Japan was unforgettable and until now it is one of our favorite countries that we have come to know. However, we only feel as though we just scratched the surface on this trip to Japan. If you want to see more videos from Japan in the future, let us know in the comments that places you’d like us to travel to and food experiences you would like to see on this travel channel.
Have you traveled to Japan before? What was your experience like? Please share your Japan travel tips, advice and experiences in the comments below.
Thanks again for watching our Japan series! Until next time!

Jajaj yo dije dulce de zapallo o batata,que ricos postres
I love dorayaki <3
Samuel ,what does the ring in nose mean ?
It's raining cats and dogs……https://youtu.be/GI8KKp_gToI
Poor girl he never stops interrupting her🤦🏻♀️
Does matcha really taste like bitter (lawn) grass ?
That's how someone explained the taste to me. Doesn't sound very good. I like green tea but I've never had matcha green tea

Everything looked delicious!
Till now all the places in takayama look amazing. The food looks yummy too.
Warabi mochi is what you ate in asakusa
That “baby-skin-jiggling-yellow-mochi” XD
First tea: Kukicha? Hojicha? Yummmmmmmmmm
Take me to that place, please!! It looks so nice. That pancake .. isn't that Dorayaki … the snack that Doraemon likes to eat? 🙂 This is definitely a place I would like to visit at least once a week.
Oh boy ,
I so enjoyed your food videos .
Thanks for making this wet day a sunny day with happiness of good food.
Thanks for yet another ASMR food video; I so enjoy tagging along on your journeys and experiences. You're both so sophisticated, yet charming and kind. I appreciate you so much! ❤
That's weed ice cream with hints of X and H
The pancake like sandwich is called dorayaki. It’s also a trend now in Paris. There are different kind of dorayaki,sometimes they eat it with whipped cream for a change 😊
By the way the best time to go to Japan is late Spring late March or first week of April and in autumn where it’s mostly dry🥰Anyway I’m glad you are enjoying even it’s raining 👍☺️I’ve been watching your vlogs since I saw your Vienna vlog and you are one of my favorite vloggers💖
Finding places like that and enjoying experiences are what make travel worthwhile.
Not guns lie… I clicked to watch cause there was a plate of dessert with a marijuana leaf on the side…
What a nice place to spend a rainy day. Not to mention, sipping Japanese Tea 🍵 and eating Japanese Sweets. What could be better? How about being the only people in the place. Peace and quiet, hot (warm?) tea, tasty treats, out of the rain and in a beautiful setting. Winner! Thanks 🙏🏻 for sharing a rainy day in Japan.
By the way I really love your channel. I'm 00% disabled and a huge foodie and I love travel. I can't travel currently and unless my health changes a lot in a positive direction I will not be able to travel so I get to travel and imagine the taste of foods by watching your channel.
I watch quite a few food and travel Vloggers and you two are my favorites You Tube food and travel couple.
I really miss Audrey on the colabs Samuel makes without Audrey and with other food/travel Vloggers. I still like those colabs but it's definitely missing Audreys sparkle and upbeat cheerfulness. Well, that's all for now. I just wanted you two know I love y'all and I miss Audrey when Samuel colabs without Audrey. Thanks for sharing.

I love that sort of food … and the marijuana leaf didn't go unmissed …. thought you looked a little too content as you left to now "feel" the rain … enjoy !
Those desserts look awesome! The one with jelly would be my favorite!
As always a very well done video. This is a very excellent food channel. Sam & Audrey are very great ambassadors for travel & all the great foods out there. This is a very outgoing viewer friendly channel as well. Thanks Sam & Audrey for all the great videos you have given us over the years.Keep them coming.
Thank you and you make food look so delicious, I enjoy watching.
I have been there before, fabulous place, in takayama there still remains traditional japanese! thank you so much for your sharing this.My youtube channel name is Japan lucky 7 I am japanese
Such a "high tea" experience! So jaw-dropping, "it kind of reset my palate a bit" Or maybe, "it was just dominated by the beans!" I haven't enjoyed this kind of inspired language since "Fish juice in my socks!" Loved it! tc,, guys! Your Fellow Former English Teacher, Colin
It's raining…what a surprise. But delicious food makes rain not so horrible!
Es una hoja de marihuana!
Lovely tea house guys and so delicious desserts wow 🙂 paradise 🙂
yummy japanese food like for japan the city of the anime
Japan is very beautiful and you are the best doing videos
Ahah all that rain have told you to stop exploring and eat eat eat 😅
Japanese sweets are so unique! So many interesting flavors (beans, matcha flavor, rice..) with low sugar!
小豆（あずき）のアンコがはさまったパンケーキのようなものは「どら焼き（どらやき）」と言い、日本のどこにでもあるスイーツです。スーパーマーケットやコンビニでも買えます。やや高級なものは東京の虎屋（とらや）というスイーツ店や京都などでも買えます。最近は色々な「どら焼き」が出てきており、抹茶クリームや栗がはさまったものなどもあります。奈良の「三笠焼き（みかさやき）」も「どら焼き」の仲間です。
器に描かれているウサギやカエルの絵は京都の高山寺（こうざんじ）というお寺に伝わる12世紀から13世紀頃の絵巻物の絵で「鳥獣人物戯画（ちょうじゅうじんぶつぎが）」という日本最古の漫画で、国宝に指定されています。
