I was waiting for Tokyo Banana and I wasn’t disappointed. In my last Tokyo trip, half of my luggage were all Tokyo Banana Omiyage as that’s the most requested take home gift from my co-workers. 😝
That last one is adorable, it looks like a cross between a peep and a pear!!😍😂 They actually all look amazing. Thank you as always for sharing such unusual and unique experiences with us, Emmy. Cheers
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...
It's funny that you would say that the banana cake is what a Twinkie dreams of being. The original Twinkies were banana creme filled! They had to swap away from banana flavoring due to rationing in WWII.
Just realized I’ve been watching your channel for 7 years.. that means I’ve been watching you since I was 17 🥲 The first video I watched of yours what the spaghetti o jello mold recipe ❤ Also I’m craving a video filmed from inside your house again like a few years ago. Love your channel so much!! Thank you for all you do ❤
I loved your reaction to each treat as much as the treats themselves 💖 Each treat was so well presented; I'd be incredibly happy gifting these and getting these. I think the otter was my favourite, but then I Iove coffee!
All that candy: SUGAR RUSH!! You're right, Emmy. The sheer, almost anally-retentive attention to detail sets just about anything Japanese apart from its counterparts in other countries. The sticker holding that "egg" didn't need to be painted like a cut hardboiled egg, but making it so just adds so much to it.
Fun fact.. the "artificial" banana was the flavor of the previous dominant species of banana, the Gran Michel. But it became blighted and effectively wiped out. Some do still exist but not in an y commercial capacity. The seedling I had died immediately.
Honestly, I'm not glad a whole cultivar of bananas was wiped out, but I am glad that we have Cavendish now. I love Cavendish, I hate the taste of gros michel.
i saw a japanese cookie factory tour that made these sorts of sweets. the care that goes into the process is really admirable. great part of japanese culture
Hi Emmymade. I really love your homemade videos! Although it’s just you and your camera in your house, it feels very welcoming and warm! Keep making these amazing homemade videos in your kitchen! I feel like a guest.
I read that Laffy Taffy was first made when Gros Michel instead of the Cavendish was the banana du jour so that was the banana flavour they used to flavour their banana sweets back then.
The flavor used for banana in the US , is the same chemical used for pear flavor in the UK. Generic sweet fruit flavor, I can't remember the name though.
I had two of these omiyage. The corn one and the Tokyo banana. When we went to Tokyo banana, they were celebrating the birth of the panda around christmas 2016 or was it 2017? So yummy! I love seeing all the omiyage when traveling around in the train stations! Thank you for sharing these cute treats!
Hey lovely- that yolk was incredible! I once had a hot fudge burger at a restaurant and it was pretty phenomenal!! You should try a Cap’n Crunch burger. Those are the most precious chicks- perfect Easter treat. 100 years wow!!! Thursdays and Saturdays are always my favorite days- thanks to you!!! ❤❤❤
I looooove Hiyoko! I think Hakata Torimon also from Fukuoka is also really good! One more thing I recently discovered was Mitsuemon from Oita when I went to Yufuin a week ago. Its a sweet potato-shaped tiny cake that is mind-blowingly good, it really tastes like sweet potato, even more so than a real sweet potato.
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.
Hello from Texas ! I love all things Japanese! Where did you find these treats at that price. Amazon only has half and is very expensive ! Thank you for sharing this info with us ! Always looking forward to your next video !!
Oh I have tried the cheese chocolate burger in Sydney Australia where I live. This Cafe place called Hong Kong Cafe they have something similar they call it pineapple bun with butter. You can have it sweet or savoury I had mine like hamburger it is full size
If you are listening, going to Tokyo, and gluten-free, there are gluten-free Tokyo Bananas at Haneda airport (possibly other places) but you have to ask. Not all places will have them.
I had the chance of trying Tokyo Banana a few times. they are really tasty and i need to go to Japan and try the special flavours too. Have a great week everyone
This whole video is just precious. Not only the individual omiyage but Emmy's excitement about each one is even more precious. 😂
“It’s just myself getting stuff for myself “ I really felt that 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤
I love how Emmy gushed about how cute the little otter was and then she ate him 😂😂😂!

Thanks for doing this. I'm absolutely fascinated by gift giving traditions across cultures, and these are some I'd never experience otherwise.
19:12 this is the cutest paaart 😍 loved how these aren't just tasting, its experiencing ❤

those are soooo good
White milk chocolate of Rokka-tei is best of all.
The manju somehow managed to surpass peeps in cuteness🤯🥰

do you think they got the original idea from a Japanese sweet?
@@therealJamieJoy The one featured here didn't come around until 1991, so it may be the other way around.
I love the banana Twinkies. Unfortunately you can't really find them in the stores anymore. Wish they would put them back in the stores.
@@Aperson156 ahhh, I see
@@shannondore they bring them back from time to time promotionally
Hope you had some nice Japanese green tea as a palate cleanser in this episode. Wonderful episode, thank you Emmy!

I do miss the kitchen.
my day always gets better when i see that emmy video notification!!!
I love your tasting videos like this! Very old school, will always be my favorite. :)
I loved your reaction to each treat as much as the treats themselves 💖

Omiyage has similar concept in the Philippines called Pasalubong, I always found souvenir a loose translation 🤭 learned something new today ❤️
OH the little Otters are so dang cute!! thank you for sharing
I love learning little cultural traditions involving food gifts!
People the egg pudding is really good! you can’t take it home but do have it while you’re here❤
All that candy: SUGAR RUSH!!

In my family (Irish) we very much expect food from someone’s travels to be presented when they get back, doesn’t go down well if they forget 😂
🤣
I love all you videos about treats from around the world ♥️😊
I love Emmy and her videos so much!! Instant mood enhancer!! 💕
Loved watching this and I really did learn something!! Emmy you rock!!
I love watching you try new treats and such it’s so entertaining thank you ❤
I love watching your channel because I learn different things 💙 thank you Emmy !!!
So glad you got your sense of taste back so you can enjoy these.
These were all so darn cute! The packaging/presentation would definitely make them special gifts and those cakes were all adorable!
Fun fact.. the "artificial" banana was the flavor of the previous dominant species of banana, the Gran Michel. But it became blighted and effectively wiped out. Some do still exist but not in an y commercial capacity. The seedling I had died immediately.

Great watching your pure enjoyment of tasting those treats. Thanks for your your fun and enjoyable videos!

Emmy, this was SOOOOO charming!! I always love your videos and learn so many new things. This was delightful. A wonderful custom,
So many treats, I think the first batch, the “banana” cakes were my favorite. Thank you Emmy!
I loved learning about “omiyage”. I did some more reading about it, too, and found it fascinating.
Well these were just beautiful, little tastes to bring back from a trip. However I would have to order them for myself.
So very interesting Emmy. 🤗
Loved your excitement and reactions it was so fun to watch. ❤
13:09 you know it's good when Emmy starts singing!
Emmy have you ever heard of pinecone jam? Never heard of it until today. It literally had mini pinecones in jam. Thoughts?
Hi Emmymade. I really love your homemade videos! Although it’s just you and your camera in your house, it feels very welcoming and warm! Keep making these amazing homemade videos in your kitchen! I feel like a guest.
this look so dekicious thank you for sharing the recipe
Just what I needed today!! Yay!
Super cute and fun!! wish i could try some of those!
my favorite local coffee place has a blended coffee drink with a banana in it, love it!
YES!!! I've purchased Tokyo Banana and other Japanese desserts online for a few years! 😚😚 Love all of these and the Butter Raisin sandwich cookies!
Finally a youtuber who treats April 1st like a NORMAL DAY. Thank you 🏆
Oh c'mon april fools jokes and fake-outs are great
@@bnemel5 😂😂😂😂😂
@@bnemel5 IKR! I was thinking that they are one of those people who are really fun to be around.
April fools is fun. You're clearly just heartless
@@FuriosasWarRig Fun is fine but most people jump into stupidity.
I thought the otter cake was the cutest then you opened the little chick at the end. Oh my goodness!! That little guy was way too cute to eat.😊
One of the few youtubers with zero drama
I read that Laffy Taffy was first made when Gros Michel instead of the Cavendish was the banana du jour so that was the banana flavour they used to flavour their banana sweets back then.
I think that's why banana flavored candies really don't taste like fresh bananas we eat today.
The flavor used for banana in the US , is the same chemical used for pear flavor in the UK. Generic sweet fruit flavor, I can't remember the name though.
That is a myth that has been debunked. It's just synthetic flavor that kinda tasted banana-like
@@Margar02 okay good to know.
When I was in Tokyo I had some of the Tokyo banana and they were absolutely delicious!! I remember bringing some home and sharing them with friends 🥹
Oh the memories! I remember getting the hyokos as omiyage a long time ago.
Thank you for sharing sweets from Tokyo Japan.
I loved this video! My favourite part was the baby chick cakes. :) Thank you Emmy!
Ha awesome! I’m so glad this channel popped back up in my feed, she is great! 👍
I had two of these omiyage. The corn one and the Tokyo banana. When we went to Tokyo banana, they were celebrating the birth of the panda around christmas 2016 or was it 2017? So yummy!

Aweeegh! - Hiyoko manju !! I grew up eating those all the time near Fukuoka. Natsukashii !! So nostalgic！
Beautifully shared!
omiyage is such a lovely idea
I love you so much. Thank you for doing this

I love the little spoon in the custard. I wish more foods would include a little spoon like that, like yogurt.

Ooh the banana cakes looked so tasty.
An Emmy eats style video love it ❤
I looove black sesame. I’m from Taiwan and remember a dessert soup made of black sesame. ❤
I wish the USA had souvenir shops.
Maybe in airports or hotels or tourist sites. Great idea 💡💡💡

Oh my goodness I wanna try all of them!!!
those banana cakes are super intriguing 👀

Did Miss Emmy say, "Cone" for "corn"! LOVE THAT!!!!
They say that you learn something new every day
Business card😂 imagine walking around with that jn your pocket!

In Argentina we have the same thing! When we travel we have to bring back souvenirs to the people that we care ♥
Absolutely delightful video!
When you opened the chick one, I heard birds! (I think in my environment, but, it could have been the video,)
Thank you Emmy, we love you
I LOVE your hoodie!! Can you please share where you got it?
🍞🍞🍞 Thanks Emmy ❣️
Coffee milk filling? It's like a little bit of Rhode Island in Japan!
I had the chance of trying Tokyo Banana a few times. they are really tasty and i need to go to Japan and try the special flavours too. Have a great week everyone
I believe the hiyoko interior is a white bean anko with egg yolk in it.
EMMAAAAAYYYYY🎉
Banana is one of my favorites with coffee
Omiyage... now i know better. Thank you Emmy!!❤
Japanese packaging is the world's best!
it's... EmmyMadeInJapan once again! 😁
warmest hello from Manila, Philippines!
I've had chocolate cheese it's amazing, looks and tastes very similar to fudge
Thank goodness this was not affected by the date... :P
You are the best with your descriptions :●}
your *buffering* face is amazing 🤣
Is that Aldi drip that you are wearing? I love it!
The little chick Hiyoko Manju is filled with white bean jam ❤
Oh and Racco ラッコ is Japanese for Sea Otter 🥰
Yes, I was going to say a white bean anko.
@@gomaandnorismom5374 when it's made with white beans it's called shiro-an
She keeps getting quirkier, funnier and cuter. 😂❤️
