Jujutsu Kaisen. Kimetsu no Yaiba. Shingeki no Kyojin. Naruto, bro. Come on now. Dragon Ball Z. Then, Naruto. Are you ranking them? Yes. Wow. There's no way you just put Goku in that story over Naruto. Hey, listen. Can Naruto do this? He can do this. I know a lot of people who can do that game. Anime is life. Also, I want to know what brought you here. Why you came here? Fuji Rock Festival. Hi. So, you went there for? I'm letting you know a little secret. Yeah. I performed at Fuji Rock Festival. Really? Yes. He did as well. He's that guy. How do I search Fuji Rock? So, my name is a little complicated. But, it's D4VD. Yeah. We played the Red Marquee. 5,000 people. It was so good. Yeah. Fuji Rock Festival is one of the best. Yeah. It was packed. So many people. Intense. Camped out in the mountains. Yes, it is. Crazy. So, you are our friends? Yeah. We lit. I don't know who this guy is. Arigato gozaimasu. Cheers. Only me, beer? Kanpai. Cheers. Kanpai. Arigato gozaimasu. Oh. Subarashii. Sugoi da ne. Kakkoi. Itadakimasu. Housoku tomato. Ichiban migi gawa na yatsu ga. Ichiban temae no ongeki desu ne. Yes. This like orange ball is tomato. Oh. Okay. All right. And like this like the one in the left from tomato is seaweed. Oh. It's like some vinegar. And this like a tofu. Tofu. Some small sardine on top. Okay. And this is like a cream cheese with some, I don't know how to call it, but like snapper organs. Oh. Organs. Raw? Is it raw? It's raw. Oh. Let's do the tomato first because that's what we heard. Tomato. Yeah. We started with tomato. Since that's what we heard about. How about the chopsticks skill? Oh. Oh, I suck. I am not. Yeah. I'm not at all. Mine is the best at the table. Very good. Watch this masterful. See, they're struggling. They're struggling. I can't do it. You don't have to use chopsticks for this. Oh. It's like sweet. Yeah. Like sweet tomato. Oh, yeah. That's right. I like that. Sugoi. It has a little aftertaste. Yeah, yeah. It's coming back to bite me. And also, for more seaweed. Seaweed. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Is this your first time to try seaweed? Yes. First time. Here we go. Oh, my goodness. I suck at chopsticks, bro. Is it good? The texture is a bit strange. A bit slimy. But besides the texture, it's fine. Their flavor. It's not that bad. Okay. But I'm enjoying that, gang. The best thing I can compare the texture to is okras. If you've ever had okras. Yeah. If you've ever had okras. Okay. But how does it taste? It's good. Yeah. Okay. It's like eating green. Okay. Yeah. Seaweed, okay. It's very healthy for your body. Oh, really? I finished it already, gang. What? It's gone. I'm a healthy man. My channel, the name is Tokyo Food Adventures. Okay. So you have to try something new. Absolutely. Adventures for you. Me and David used to watch all these like day in the life of yada yada in Tokyo. It's so surreal actually being here. Like, nah, it's crazy. It's crazy. Tofu. Tofu? Yeah, yeah. This is more like a tofu skin. Okay. Yeah. And some fried sardines. Sardines. With some sardines on top. Okay. And we can just scoop it with chopsticks like this. Okay. Here we go. I'm waiting for y'all. You waiting for us? Not exactly what I was expecting. It's good. Like, I don't know what to compare the flavor to. It's like the tofu is not, you can't really taste it, but I feel like the flavor is coming from the sardines. Okay. Let's go. It's good though. Alright, so the next. This is more like a fish jelly. Like this? Okay. It's kind of hard to scoop. Don't worry. You have to hold the bowl. Hold the bowl. Oh, man. That's actually fine. It's good. That's hard. If y'all moms ever make corned beef, I feel like it kind of has like a corned beef-esque flavor. The texture. Tummies are being rubbed. The texture is like different. Like, you know, it's a little different than what I usually go for, but the flavor is good. It's great. It's fine. It's good. Yeah. Okay. Alright, let's keep going. The last one. It's cream cheese with some fish intestines with like raw organ. It's pretty soggy. Okay, what do we have with the beer? Okay. We have fake beer. Who's trying this first? You. I don't know, man. You're the youngest. Oh, it's not bad. Okay. It's not bad. No, that's actually pretty good. You're second youngest. Alright. Can we move it up? Yeah. It's a bit salty. Yeah. But it's really actually. Oh, my goodness. Ten out of ten. For that. I think it's my favorite so far. I will teach you how to use it. Okay, okay, okay. Pencil, pencil. Yeah, pencil. Like a pencil. Okay. Yes, yes. This is correct. Okay. Whole upper side of chopsticks is better. I didn't know how to do this. I came prepared. Came prepared. Nice. Oh, interesting. Okay. It is the best one. It's good. That was good. So these are like more appetizer before we eat like sushi. Okay. And from now, sushi is keep coming. I'm ready. When we eat sushi, we don't need to use chopsticks. We also use like a hands. A hands, okay. Yeah, yeah. Because it's easier to pick up. I love it. I can't wait for this. I'm so excited. Also, I want to know if you are okay with wasabi. Okay. So, I'm okay with it. But like, I don't know. I think if I ate wasabi, I'd die. I'm not the biggest fan of it. I feel like it's a bit overpowering sometimes. Like it can like take over the flavor. So put a little bit. It's okay. A little bit. It's kind of good to sit here. Because we are in front of a chef. Okay. So he's making like, you know, how to cook sushi. How do you say respect in Japanese? Respect. So. First sushi. So grab with our hands. Sushi time. Ready? Oh my god. Oh yeah. Yeah. That was good. Oh my goodness. Yeah, I need more of that. It's a lot. Yeah, there was no wasabi on that one. No. No? It's mild. Very nice. No? When do we eat the ginger? We eat like a sushi. And we eat like a ginger. So we set the bar. Not a bit. A little bit. Oh Jesus. You are here for the first time. And what are the things you are so surprised since you came here? The culture? Everybody is just so respectful. It's not really like that in the States. It's like, I don't know. It's nice. I watched so many YouTube videos before I came here. I read books. I knew what I was expecting when I came here. And it was above and beyond. It was so much better. Everybody is like ten times more nice. Everybody is respectful. Everybody looks good. Everybody dresses very well. I've seen people with the craziest fists on. They are dripped out. I'm pretty sure they don't know what that means. The outfits and the fashion and the style. It's amazing. Absolutely. It's very respectful. One of the things I saw when we first got here was a fire truck came. It came around on the street. And you could hear them on the megaphone saying, Excuse me. Asking people to move out of the way. In America, that doesn't happen. It's super respectful. Everybody is very respectful. The culture is amazing. We love Japan. Thank you. It's a flounder. Flounder. I like flounder. It's a little chewy compared to the one we just ate. But still, good flavor. Ready? Let's go. I like this one. Definitely a little bit more chewy. Is there wasabi in this one? Yeah. They use salt instead of soy sauce. You know what? Now that you say that, I noticed the difference. That was good. We've been talking since we've been here. Japanese food has not missed one time. It's been great every single time. Everywhere we've gone, it's been perfect. The best thing I've had was the 7-Eleven curry bread. The curry pan. So good. I've never had it before here. The 7-Elevens here are amazing. If you go to 7-Eleven in America, it's like there's nothing there. The 7-Elevens here are heaven. If there's 7-Elevens in America, I'm scared. I'm scared to go in there. I heard some rumors. Like I went to 7-Eleven in the States. Is it really true that some people actually do some drug trade? I will say it depends on what part of town you're in. Like in the city. Scary place. Japan is very safe. Another reason why we love Japan. I will move here. I'm moving here too. He's going to sleep in your place. You're not going to let him in your crib? That's blood. I'm going to Kyoto. You already went to Kyoto? Not yet. How about this time? You don't have any time? I don't think so. But I will be back soon. In the winter time, I'm coming back and I want to go to Kyoto. And I want to do the go-kart tour too. I saw that. We were walking around. And we saw the cute little people in go-karts. I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I don't know. We'll give you a VR headset. You can play Mario Kart. That's where you're going to be at. Ridiculous. This is salmon for sure, right? No. This is sardine. This is good. But some people feel a bit fishy. Is that wasabi? It's not wasabi. It's green onion. We like green onion. I love green onion. Wasabi is not as green. This is more saturated green. It looks beautiful. It's so delicate. How do you say beautiful in Japanese? Utsukushii. Say it one more time. Utsukushii. Or Kirei. Kirei. You can say that to the girls. Kirei. Is this a soy sauce? Yes, that's soy sauce. Soy sauce? Sardine. Arigatou gozaimasu. Everybody take the ginger? Yeah, I'll take the ginger. Here we go. Let's go. It's not bad. I like that one. There's a saltiness to it. Okay, that might take the cake right now. That might be the best one. I like that one the most. You like the saltiness the most. Beautiful. Utsukushii. Have a good memory. What kind of fish is in it? On top, salmon eggs. And also crab meat. Alright. Cucumber, crab, and you said salmon eggs? Salmon eggs. This one has a very different flavor. I've never tasted anything like this before in my life. It's very, very unique. It's like a cold soup. I was about to say apple sauce. Apple sauce? Yeah. Salmon eggs are popping in my mouth. Yeah, they're like pop rocks. You're not even halfway on this course. That's good because I'm still hungry. I'm not full yet. Maybe take more? Let's see who can make it. Overall, everything has been delicious. Everything has been delicious. It exceeded my expectations. Because I've never had it before, so I didn't know what to expect. What is the difference between the sushi in the States and here? The sushi in the States is very much like a burger. It's not fresh. This is a fresh fish. This is real. It's packaged. It's been there. Salmon eggs. Caviar. I'm guessing this is crab. Oh, and rice. Yeah, and rice. Eat it together. Okay. I like it a lot, actually. I love it. Daisuke. Y'all are just tossing banger after banger. I wasn't expecting the salmon eggs to be like this. Can you feel the pop in your mouth? Yeah. Do you sometimes go to Japanese restaurants in the States? Yes. There's a restaurant that I go to in a mall in Houston called Shogun. Shogun. A hibachi restaurant. Oh, a hibachi restaurant. We used to go like every Friday. You got the teriyaki chicken. Extra chicken with rice and vegetables. Oh, that hit. It's nothing like out here, though. The food out here is so much better. I live in L.A. Yeah. And in L.A. they have what they call a California roll, which is not even, you know. It's also good, but... It is good. But yeah, this is good. Oh, ginger. I keep forgetting the ginger, man. And the thing about the States, too. Like, I would not be feeling comfortable eating raw fish in the States. Like, I feel like it's not as safe eating raw fish in the States as it is over here. Because you get food poisoning. Yeah, yeah. You said you were coming back to Japan in the wintertime. December 6th. Yeah. I'm excited to come back. I'm not ready to leave. We leave... Yeah, we leave on Friday. So, next time you have to make sure that you have enough time to travel around Japan. Exactly. I'm thinking about doing a longer trip, too. Maybe a month. Oh, yeah. Like, get in the culture. Just live here for a little bit. Yeah, especially, like, music-wise, there's so much inspiration out here. The scenery, the people, the food. There's so much, like, stuff you can pull from. So, definitely some studio trips. So, you also, like, make some songs? I do. I make music, but I mainly produce. Oh, produce. Wow. That looks good. What is this fish? It's tuna. Oh, tuna. Yeah. But different parts. Okay. The first one we ate is more like a fatty part. Okay. And this one is, like, more lean. Lean. Lean, okay. The meaty part. Okay, okay. So, it's not as soft as the first one, but still you can feel more flavor. Okay. We eat everything from the head to the tail. Oh, wow. Even, like... Oh, wow. You know what? There's a dish that's famous in the southern part of the states called chitlin. Chitlin, right. What? Chitlin. And it's pig intestine. Pig. Pig, yeah. Pig intestine. I've never had that. Yeah, I've never had that. I've heard a lot of stories from, like, my family where when they're cooking it, it smells, like, really bad. Really? But a lot of people like it. Like, they clean it, season it, and fry it. Of course, like, it sounds great. Yeah. Because we eat a lot of intestines, like liver. Oh, wow. Oh, really? Okay. And stomach. And the heart. The heart? Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's called yakitori. Tuna part two? Tuna part two. All right. Ready? Okay, go ahead. Whoa. The lime. Yeah, I really love the lime. The lime on top. Definitely different than the first tuna that we did, too. Yeah, I'm glad that you already know this. Yeah. Much different. Oh, yeah. It's good. Which city are you from? Houston, Texas. Houston, Texas, right? Yes. It's in the south. Yes. It's really hot. It's actually, the weather is just like this. Yeah. Really? Yeah. It gets about, like, 100 degrees. Oh, okay. 38 Celsius. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But is it this humid? Humidity? Oh, yeah. Even worse. More humid. It might be worse. Yes, worse. My English. My Texas is dry. Well, here's the thing about Texas. Texas has every climate. So, like, the southeast is very humid, very swampy. The west is very dry. Really? A lot of mountains. The north is a lot of trees, a lot of hills, and stuff like that. So, it has, like, every climate. Texas is a huge state. Huge state. Oh, I see. Because, like, I met so many foreigners recently. Yeah. In summertime, always they say, like, they are surprised by how hot it is in Japan. Every year, it keeps getting hotter and hotter. I mean, yeah, you know, I'm used to it, but it's still hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm still hot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bought an umbrella. Have a good day. To help me for the... You use umbrella? For the sun? Hey. I gotta get some more sunscreen, too. This is interesting. The way it's cut, it looks just like grated. Oh, yeah. It looks fine. That's a pickled sardine. It's like a sour. Oh, pickled. Don't do me like that. I like it. Best one. It's good. I think the other sardine, I like the other sardine. Really? That one's good. That one's good, but I like the other sardine. Cheers. Seaweed. Wow. Sorry, I don't even know what it is. I haven't asked. See that? That looks... It looks different. Yeah, that's different. Yeah, you go first. Medium tuna, Japanese pig roe. Pig roe? Pig roe. Thank you. This? Whoa. This one's very, very different. I've never had anything like this in my life. That is very interesting. Okay, that's one of my favorites. That's one of my favorites. I don't know how to describe it. I can't either. That was... I liked that one. It's up there. I still think sardine is still up there. Yeah, sardine for sure. This is my new favorite. That's your favorite? Yeah, it keeps getting better and better and better. Oh, whoa. This looks interesting. Thank you. Is that grilled fish? Grilled fish. Can I try it? No. Let me try it. What is kazuki? I'm pretty sure kazuki doesn't eat everything. Do we eat this at the same time? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or do we eat this first? Together. Oh, wow. Wow. I ate that one a lot. Amazing. I think this was my favorite one. Yeah? Oh, great. Amazing. That is really good. Swordfish. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, there's another thing. I've noticed, too, the portions of food is different. Oh, yeah. In America, the food portions are big, very big. Especially in Texas, it's huge. Is that okra? Okra. Oh, this is okra. Okra. Is that how you say it in Japanese? Yeah, okra. Is it cucumber again? And this is like a corn. Corn. Like an egg pudding. But it's like a salty egg pudding. Oh, yeah. Salty egg pudding. Okay. This okra is going to be chipping me out. Oh, corn. Oh! That's actually really good. Like, I really like that, actually. Okay. This one is fatty tuna. Okay. But the first one you ate is like a medium fatty tuna. So, it's very fatty. And this is like a more fatty. It's fattier, yeah. Fattier than the first one. Fattiest. Yeah, that's the phrase. There you go, man. Fattiest tuna. Let's go! Cheers! No. You only tried, like, three types of tuna? Which one? Fatty. First one. I think I like the second one. The first or the second one for me. I like the last one. I like the fatty one. I like the second fatty. Like the... Medium fatty. The first one. Yeah. Is it like rice paper? Onions, bro. That's onions. Onions? Rice paper. I don't know. It's squid. Oh! It's sea urchin. Okay. Squid is usually chewy. Because it's sure. Okay. But sea urchin is very creamy. Okay. It's a counterbalance. You've never tried sea urchin, right? No. Never. Sea urchin is very unique flavor. Oh. People love it. People sometimes hate it. Oh! Okay. I'm ready. Call me. All right. Arigato gozaimasu. Let's go! Huh? I really like the squid. But, yeah, the sea urchin is really creamy. It has a really unique flavor. Yeah, unique flavor. I'm scared. Yeah. Perfect. Okay. Squid is definitely chewy. I like the sea urchin. Oh, you like the sea urchin. I like the sea urchin. Yeah, I'm a fan. But I've never had squid. Never? Never had squid. Is it salmon? I'm going to say eel. He said eel. He's correct. Whoa! Eel. In English, conger eel. That's what it says. Conger eel. Okay. Only conger eel cannot be raw. It can't be raw. Yeah. He just cooked it. That's why I'm cooking it. And puffer fish, right? You have to be a special chef to make puffer fish. Yes.
