There are 3 different legal classifications of Ice Cream in Japan. The classification needs to be clearly added onto the packaging. The frozen treat is required to have a minimum percentage of cream/milk depending on which of the 3 categories it falls under. The best is "アイスクリーム", literally ice cream. This is the quality ice cream that you were probably expecting. It tends to be the most expensive but highest quality. Next is "アイスミルク" literally ice milk. It has a higher content of milk in it than cream. "ラクトアイス", literally lacto ice. As you mentioned it is good for the summer heat, but it's more ice than it is dairy. You can easily check the katakana on the packaging to easily figure out the category/quality of the frozen treat.
As a Swede it hurts to say, but yes, you do have the best chocolate, probably in the whole Baltic region. The classic blue is great, but there is one that comes in a slightly smaller package that says "made with fresh milk" that's even better, do you have it in your domestic market as well?
@@StorKejsaren for normal chocolate you're definitely right, Fazer is amazing. We in Sweden go very strong with Cloetta though, some of their chocolate including products like Plopp are wonderful.
Jumankeuta, Suomi mainittu! ...anyway, love the videos, especially the editing and the weird blocking. The random Estonian always activates my neurons 'cause it sounds so much like Finnish.
@@Dragonroot95Absolutely, I think I've tried every mainstream brand in Europe and Fazer is by far the best. I didn't grow up with it, but I would rate it higher than a lot of high end chocolate brands as well.
I am an American who knows the taste you are talking about, though I have only noticed it in the taste of M&M's in levels I considered noteworthy. I don't always taste it when eating american chocolates, but it blows my mind we add a chemical from spoiled things to a food for *reasons* but don't allow unpasteurized milk.
They don’t. The flavor comes from boiling/cooking real liquid milk during the chocolate making process. Foreign/superior chocolatiers use powdered milk to avoid this flavor byproduct.
Mudan I didnt even realize your video yesterday was 40 minutes long until i got halfway through and was like hmm this is a suspicious amount of mudan im getting 😭anyways its really sweet that mudan is collabing with smaller creator groups like trash taste to give them the boost they need
Try out the local sauna culture, also known as bathing. There are at least couple of old school public sentō bath houses in Asakusa. Akebonoyu has an ok looking exterior façade for the vlog shot. Interiors look mostly the same in every old school sento. Obviously filming might be a bit tricky. You need to be there when no one else is, to even have a chance at filming some b-roll. If you go and film guerilla style, not asking permission (witch I recommend as asking for permission is a hassle and you will most likely be turned down. But it's kind of ok to film if there is no one in the bath or in the changing room. Right?) you can't really do vlog shots inside cause the cashier is close enough to hear you speaking... alone... to your self... in a bath. 🤐 But obviously filming in a bathhouse is still technically breaking the rules, even if there is no one in there. And sometimes viewers seem to be stickler for rules here on TH-cam.
Hershey's chocolate went completely down-hill in the late naughts (around '07) when they moved most of their production facilities to Mexico. The quality of water, dairy, and other ingredients went from A-tier to F-tier, and Hershey's is now just generally regarded as 'bargain-bin chocolate'. Thanks, fella~! What sorts of wacky things will Mudan get up to tomorrow?
Not good enough argument Hershey just taste horrible just accept it, with their horrible american options I don't think is good enough reason, you prolly just grew up of the flavor and didn't realize how shitty it isIf you want to complain of countries like mexico not really Always watched here on yt of americans and how Mexico coke taste better and I thought it was some magic they did there, much to my surprise once I actually google it, it was just USA using HFCS instead of just sugar which all countries already use😅 I remember going in some kind of fancy market of imported products and bought an american peanut butter, that shit stayed in my mouth like I gluped some oil car that couldn't get rid of it, much to my surprise, it had hcfs it couldn't be anything else
As a fellow lover of cheese, weird cheese combinations AND mint&choc.. my Latvian-self respects you even more now. o7 When I visited a few months back there was that DARS choco with a muscat flavour, was goooood. Also I really recommend this one ice cream bar, I had to google translate a pic of it and it said "Kikyo Shingen mochi" flavour, it has a pic of that said mochi on a plate and the packaging is red with small white flowers (I think I found it either in FamilyMart or Lawson). There's so many layers to it. The Lipton milky earl grey tea ice cream was surprisingly good too, if you love tea! : D
Day 16 of asking Mudan to start in a random area of tokyo and compete with babysitter and foxie to see who can find the most small hidden shrines in the backalleys and rooftops of tokyo in a day! :)
Whenever I visit Japan, I always get the Super Cup ice cream. You can't go wrong with the basic vanilla flavor but my favorite by far was the banana cookie flavor. Think oreo cookies with banana flavored icecream.👌However, I don't know if it's still available because they seem to have seasonal specials too and I couldn't find it anymore last time I visited.😢 (They also had choco mint at some point which I found pretty good.) I really like the mochi ice too! I absolutely adore the Haichuu/Hi-Chew candies! We have maoam over here but they're so shit in comparison. lmao Best Hi-Chew (imo) are the sour suppaichuu, green apple and grape ones. They must be soft tho! If they're kinda hard, they're old or maybe were badly stored. One of my favorite chocolate snacks are the coffee chocolate tubes that you can see in upper right corner at 3:02, the small choco caramel balls with the bird on the package and the chocolate covered macadamia (one can be seen on the left side at 3:07 but I think there was another version in a dark brown packaging that I liked more - it's been a while). Obviously, they're not as great as fazer chocolate, but I feel it's pretty difficult to even get close to that.😆I'm also from Europe so I might have similar tastebuds. lol
You should pick a random train station off the map (maybe select a line like chuo line) and go there! The areas directly surrounding most train stations are usually really fun/interesting. I do this when I’m bored 🤣
I love the Japanese dried seafood stuff they drink with beer. Please do a tier list of traditional Japanese dried food snacks you know like dried anchovies, cuttlefish, vinegared talk etc
When i was there last year i went nuts on the snacks. I had the tuna-mayo onigiri for breakfast everyday and a Coolish every evening, along with a different flavour of crisps every day. I absolutely loved their melon, grape and peach flavoured softdrinks (C.C Lemon Peach Mix being the best one) 😄
Thanks for the daily upload. Quality is great for the quantity we're getting. As someone staying in the US, I didn't know that they added that artificial putrid smell to chocolate. To me, they smell the same as European imported chocolates (maybe my nose got used to it)
They don’t. The flavor comes from boiling/cooking real liquid milk during the chocolate making process. Foreign/superior chocolatiers use powdered milk to avoid this flavor byproduct.
Truly I don't understand why people are in love with the chocobabies. They're not good chocolate, and I enjoy those bad chocolate coins. Also American here: most self respecting people don't like Hershey's. It's just the cheapest option.
Thanks for the Fibe Mini tip! We're going again next summer, but last time my wife and daughter were clogged up so bad from all the bread and rice. Me, not so much.. dont know why, maybe because I really like the red bean filling..those contain fibers right? Anyway, great vid! :)
Video suggestion as you will be in Japan for a year how about visiting the Tokyo Earthquake Simulator it's called The Tokyo Rinkai Disaster Prevention Park.
Mint would be blue because green ice cream etc in Japan means matcha. Will definitely be trying that mint ice cream when next in Japan. Most Australians agree regarding American chocolate tasting crud as we are used to Cadbury (and Nestlé) milk chocolate as being the "normal" chocolate taste.
Since you like snacks so much, you should try going to Ameyoko (candy store alley) in Ueno. They have more than just candy, but I remember seeing a store dedicated to importing (expired) foreign snacks
Just wanted to add: Japanese chocolate is kind of meh but I recommend going to お菓子のまちおか, its a chain store that sells snacks often with heavy discounts. You can find pretty good deals there. Donki also you can often find foreign brands like milka which is an European brand. Pretty decent and not so expensive as well.
As for sweets, I don't know if they have Meiji Coffee Beat in convenience stores there but that's my go to candy of meiji's from where i am. They're small coffee bean shaped choco-coffee sweets in this yellow cylinder packaging. It looks cute and is nice when you want something caffeinated.
That's the perfect way to chill like the one milk snack you showed in the video. The cool part about this series is: In like 2-3 months you can make a big update video with all the stuff like how your training goes or the vessis. Also I am kinda curious how you survive the Tokyo summer 💀
Mudan, video ideas: 1. Make a video but the order of events is done in reverse--like Memento 2. Make a vlog but have no cuts in it--it's all one long shot. 3. Make a vlog but have no dialogue in it. The purpose of the vlog is done entirely through cinematography.
For favorite snack candy in the USA, Riesen by Storck (chocolate-covered chocolate caramel bites) are good and ginger chews by Prince of Peace that has a big kick of ginger and chewy sweetness that can also soothe an upset stomach. Buy these individually wrapped candies by the pound, but it takes a long time to eat if you limit yourself to a few a day (requires more discipline for the Riesens).
The Storck Riesen originate from Germany, so of course they should be at least decent, haha. Be careful if you have any tooth fillings though, we lovingly call those chewy candies "Plombenzieher". xD (Plombe is filling, Zieher is the noun version of "to pull sth. out")
@@HolyDoomfish You aren't kidding! Such chewy & sticky candy can really get in your teeth to make cavities and also pull fillings out. Brush & floss, folks!
I think the best japanese mid chocolate would be the chocolate almonds or chocolate macadamias from meiji. Cheeza is god tier, but you have to try the camambert flavor as well. Also try to toast them, especially the smoked cheese flavor one. Also on cheese: natori fluffy cheese is excellent and the Oyatsu Home Bar camembert and bacon flavor
Royce is the brand you should look for if you want good chocolate in Japan. Japanese chocolate follows the American (USA) school of chocolate craftsmanship more closely and is therefore quite mediocre. Good chocolate in Japan can be found in two types: "European chocolate" and Hokkaido chocolate.
アポロ is quite good. キノコのやま is alright. Not supermarket but I love Royce, they sometimes have popups at shopping malls. Always available at airports like Haneda and Narita as well.
11:30 Lotte is a Korean company, but I've never seen that ice cream here, so I'm assuming it's a Japanese exclusive. Lotte is a fuzzy ground, but basically the company is tailored in seperate markets between Korean and Japan, so I'm not quite sure if it is truly a "Japanese snack" but I don't really know. Thought it was relevant though.
There's other variants of mochi ice cream with fruit, I used to get same brand you showed but with a strawberry in the middle, it's was pretty nice. There's also ice cream with different wafers, but the one you should really try is the frozen ice cream from glico called "ice no mi" they are small frozen balls with fruit flavours, cost like 140 yen or something like that. They are awesome, even more so on hot days.
Slightly outdated since my last trip but chocolate wise I would say look for the brands( ) flavour: (Seiki) Prime Chocolate, (Bourbon) Alfort, Bitte (I believe from Glico), (Horn)Cream/Dark chocolate or (Morinaga) Muscat
Day 19 of recommending Mudan to go to Eigakan, a Jazz / Japanese Film bar run by a former 60s Japanese film director. Seeing it included in your bar speedrun would be a piece of history. The current owner is going to retire within the year. Though the new owner(s) are cool as well, they kickstarted the take-over for the bar to preserve it.
Hell yeah yukimi daifuku gang. You should also try different flavored ones (I live by the countryside so not much variety, I liked the mitarashi dango one but I don't see it anymore).
I think you should try Poifull. I'm American and always thought Jelly Belly was okay at best, but Poifull made me enjoy jelly beans again. I eat them regularly here in San Francisco.
The Japanese fruit & whipped cream sandwich uses a soft & sweet bread, so it's more like a cheap unfrosted cake in convenient sandwich form than a regular sandwich.
thanks for the amazing Videos. My friends and I are planing to come to japan in October to Japan and your Videos help really a bunch. Question: What is the best way to get internet in Japan? Again thanks a bunch and keep it up
I recommend high cacao parcerntage chocolate (高カカオ). Mostly on packege it says something like "Cacao 72%". I like Meiji's one cos it's not sweet. Some Japaneses eats this sort of chocolate a lil everyday for health.
One Cup Ozeki is fine. I had a lot of sake at similar price points and some were much better, others were worse. There was one I got from an ekiben store for about Y700 that was better than some expensive ones, but it's worth giving some of the two litre cartons a chance. Out of everything I tried though, the best was about Y1000 for 350mL from a liquor store in Kyushu. Could be worth commenting on liquor stores btw, as it's something most tourists probably never end up seeing, as alcohol is so readily available elsewhere.
i know that its a bit hard to get a ticket online and you need to plan a month in advance or something but you should definitely try to go to the kirby cafe, Its probably the best themed cafe in tokyo. If you cant wait you can get take out at the new location in character street that is take out only with no sit down part. the food is genuinely good but expensive.
Gaba chocolate is pretty good imo. I've only ever ate the sleep chocolate , not sure how the non sleep chocolate tastes. Also, you gotta try MOW vanilla ice cream as it is quality.
Chocolates in japan were mostly influenced from America, so if you’re fellow European it’s harder to fulfill the chocolate satisfaction here🤷🏻♀️ Unless, you really pay for the quality. Like Lindt or Godiva tier. My recommendation to seek quality chocolates would be "Depa-chika" aka department store basement food market.
Please try some of the good French Bakeries. Some do excellent baguettes and croissants. Also try some of the good Napoli pizza places: Seirinkan, PST, Savoy, etc.
Talking about sweets, has someone had a chance trying something from Roshen company? I know it is exported to Europe at least, interesting to hear what people think about our sweets
I'd seen people diss the One cup sake countless times, and I had the chance to try it myself. I actually enjoy it as well. It's not the best sake by any means, however I think it's a pretty okay one.
Nice videos, I have been watching everyday :) I actually really like the Ghana and Meiji chocolate because it is not too sweet, and the cocoa taste is more strong.
Look out for the UCC Cafe au Lait in the vending machines. It is relatively rare but imo so much better than the other can coffees. Basic UCC is also a bit better, but more comparable to the other brands
Hersheys cooks the milk in a way that makes it taste different or something like that I watched a video on it. But yeah it’s interesting when you sit down and try to taste puke flavors in your chocolate

Ah yes, Coolish. Pete Donaldson's favourite thing to bring up in the Abroad in Japan podcast.
Hell yeah, Fazer chocolate is the best, especially the classic blue (full Finnish bias)
I've had Kalev as well, and its pretty good too!
As a Swede it hurts to say, but yes, you do have the best chocolate, probably in the whole Baltic region. The classic blue is great, but there is one that comes in a slightly smaller package that says "made with fresh milk" that's even better, do you have it in your domestic market as well?

Hands down the best grocery store chocolate in the Nordics
Kind of unbeatable tbh; Fazer is legit the best standard-issue chocolate brand I've encountered
@@Dragonroot95Absolutely, I think I've tried every mainstream brand in Europe and Fazer is by far the best. I didn't grow up with it, but I would rate it higher than a lot of high end chocolate brands as well.

I was addicted to both the vanilla coolish & the mochi ice cream you showed. Both are so amazing
I tried everything he show it that he like it but not the pie looking thing or the marble nor the drinks lol

Not good enough argument
Hershey just taste horrible just accept it, with their horrible american options
I don't think is good enough reason, you prolly just grew up of the flavor and didn't realize how shitty it isIf you want to complain of countries like mexico not really
Always watched here on yt of americans and how Mexico coke taste better and I thought it was some magic they did there, much to my surprise once I actually google it, it was just USA using HFCS instead of just sugar which all countries already use😅
I remember going in some kind of fancy market of imported products and bought an american peanut butter, that shit stayed in my mouth like I gluped some oil car that couldn't get rid of it, much to my surprise, it had hcfs it couldn't be anything else
It was garbage before that. Grainy, dusty, awful.
It still tastes the same to me

They don’t. The flavor comes from boiling/cooking real liquid milk during the chocolate making process. Foreign/superior chocolatiers use powdered milk to avoid this flavor byproduct.
Love to see this so i know what to get when visiting Japan
Truly I don't understand why people are in love with the chocobabies. They're not good chocolate, and I enjoy those bad chocolate coins.
Also American here: most self respecting people don't like Hershey's. It's just the cheapest option.
I don't know if it even calls itself chocolate or if it's like a "chocolate-flavored" snack.
Thanks for the Fibe Mini tip! We're going again next summer, but last time my wife and daughter were clogged up so bad from all the bread and rice. Me, not so much.. dont know why, maybe because I really like the red bean filling..those contain fibers right? Anyway, great vid! :)

I think the best japanese mid chocolate
would be the chocolate almonds or chocolate macadamias from meiji.
Cheeza is god tier, but you have to try the camambert flavor as well. Also try to toast them, especially the smoked cheese flavor one.

Out of everything I tried though, the best was about Y1000 for 350mL from a liquor store in Kyushu.
Could be worth commenting on liquor stores btw, as it's something most tourists probably never end up seeing, as alcohol is so readily available elsewhere.
That food content hits hard
Always nice to see mudan upload
meiji’s coffee beat is really good. i’ve seen pewdiepie liked it too when he was trying japanese snacks/candies.
I've been curious for a while now.. What do you do when you run of ideas on what to vlog for the day?
Used to eat that mochi ice cream every day when i was in japan, theres also 9 packs of them but each individual mochi is a little smaller
Dude is wearing a jouhikko shirt? cool!
That sonic unleashed background soundtrack is bringing back childhood memories fr
If you like sweets with cheese, there is a shop in the mall underneath tokyo skytree that has an array of cheesecakes made with real cheese
Cheeza are amazing. I found a wasabi version here in Australia 👌🏼 and coolish 🤤🤤
i know that its a bit hard to get a ticket online and you need to plan a month in advance or something but you should definitely try to go to the kirby cafe, Its probably the best themed cafe in tokyo. If you cant wait you can get take out at the new location in character street that is take out only with no sit down part. the food is genuinely good but expensive.
Gaba chocolate is pretty good imo. I've only ever ate the sleep chocolate , not sure how the non sleep chocolate tastes. Also, you gotta try MOW vanilla ice cream as it is quality.
if i'm not mistaken butyric acid is one of the main chemicals that make vomit smell the way it does so comparing hersheys to it is very accurate lol
Quite an enjoyable video, keep up the good work!
cadbury had a collab with vegemite in australia some time ago. that was literally THE unholy union
Hell heah Fazer!! I feel the same about those standard tier Japanese chocolates for the most part...but Coffee Beat by Meiji absolutely slaps though!
Melonpan was one of my favorite snake when I was traveling Japan.
Kalev Mustika is my favorite chocolate! Unfortunately we dont have it in lot in stores in Finland :/
Chocolates in japan were mostly influenced from America, so if you’re fellow European it’s harder to fulfill the chocolate satisfaction here🤷🏻♀️
Unless, you really pay for the quality. Like Lindt or Godiva tier.
My recommendation to seek quality chocolates would be "Depa-chika" aka department store basement food market.
Please try some of the good French Bakeries. Some do excellent baguettes and croissants. Also try some of the good Napoli pizza places: Seirinkan, PST, Savoy, etc.
Talking about sweets, has someone had a chance trying something from Roshen company? I know it is exported to Europe at least, interesting to hear what people think about our sweets
8:49 “Pop one of those bad boys’” where⁉️
My aunt is from Talinn and she brought some some Estonian chocolate once, it was heavenly!
I'd seen people diss the One cup sake countless times, and I had the chance to try it myself. I actually enjoy it as well. It's not the best sake by any means, however I think it's a pretty okay one.
I'm going to miss your series on JP when you're done.
Wow, can only agree with everything Mudan said. About bread and chocolate.
And normally taste is very subjective.
Keke animation !
Torile! I love one cup sake too. Love from Finland.
The strawberry and cream bread has been my favorite to eat during my stay in Japan
Dem grippers!
Nice videos, I have been watching everyday :)
I actually really like the Ghana and Meiji chocolate because it is not too sweet, and the cocoa taste is more strong.
I love the Rummy Rum & Raisin Chocolates in Japan
1:43 its the same as a concha from mexico. so good with coffee lol
its pretty cool to see how similar some snacks from other cultures are lol.
Look out for the UCC Cafe au Lait in the vending machines. It is relatively rare but imo so much better than the other can coffees. Basic UCC is also a bit better, but more comparable to the other brands
Hersheys cooks the milk in a way that makes it taste different or something like that I watched a video on it. But yeah it’s interesting when you sit down and try to taste puke flavors in your chocolate
Japanese bread has a light "sponge" like texture to it. I feel like it leans more towards cake than bread
Early night for Mudan
