Let’s taste some speciality Japanese food snacks that are often given a omiyage, or regional souvenirs (often edible) gifted as a token of appreciation. Some of the treats from today’s taste test include, Tokyo Banana, the most popular souvenir treat from Tokyo and Hiyoko Manju, a cake made for over a hundred years in Fukuoka.

Thanks for doing this. I'm absolutely fascinated by gift giving traditions across cultures, and these are some I'd never experience otherwise.
Tokyo banana is my favorite…
I'm surprised you got that egg sent to the US since it's similar to a kinder egg.
Beautifully shared!
This whole video is just precious. Not only the individual omiyage but Emmy's excitement about each one is even more precious. ????
Hearing you chew makes my skin crawl
I loved learning about “omiyage”. I did some more reading about it, too, and found it fascinating.
I love learning little cultural traditions involving food gifts!
I love you so much. Thank you for doing this <3
I love watching you try new treats and such it’s so entertaining thank you ❤
3 millions subscribers can't be wrong.
Thank you, Emmy!
Thank you for sharing sweets from Tokyo Japan.
I love how Emmy gushed about how cute the little otter was and then she ate him ????????????!
My mother is from Sapporo Hokkaido and the Omiyage (gift) to get in that region is 100% "Shiroi Koibito", It's a thick white or milk chocolate slice in between two crunchy thin sweet wafers, and honestly it's one of my absolute favorite snacks in the world, especially the white chocolate one…if you ever do a video like this again, you must include them, you will love them…fun fact, we have a house right next to the factory, well almost…
Banana is one of my favorites with coffee
Absolutely delightful video!
When you opened the chick one, I heard birds! (I think in my environment, but, it could have been the video,)
So that's where the look of peeps came from, they must have traveled to Japan. Thanks for the his history of bringing back treats from your travels,. Japanese knows the art of packaging and presentation.
Interesting
I've had chocolate cheese it's amazing, looks and tastes very similar to fudge
Omiyage has similar concept in the Philippines called Pasalubong, I always found souvenir a loose translation ???? learned something new today ❤️
Big fan of banana snacks ❤????
My family lived in Japan for a few years when I was a kid, when my dad was stationed at one of the air force bases there. Even today, we get omiyagis for family, mostly my dad bc he still travels the most for his air force job. It's fun
I wish the USA had souvenir shops.
Maybe in airports or hotels or tourist sites. Great idea ????????????
