Exciting news for all my fellow travellers and foodies! 🎉 I've just launched Shun Tours, offering unique and personal guided tours across Tokyo. Check out the details and book your adventure at www.shuntours.com. Can't wait to explore with you! ✈🍣
Please do more videos on food souvenirs. These are so helpful on what I should buy on my trip and I trust your palate way more than a non local doing a tasting video. I spent way too much on high-end kitkats (good but too sweet) on my last trip and the traditional japanese food souvenirs where a lot more memorable. Will add these to my shopping list for next time.
Thank you so much for the comment! I’m glad you found this video useful ☺️
Goooood morning/day/evening wherever you are! Thank you so much for watching this video ☺️
The important question today is… which of the 10 souvenirs would you like to try?!?!
Sugar Butter Sand Tree would be for me🙂
The Honey Gorgonzola cookie was the most interesting item for me. Helps that it has a long shelf life compared to the other snacks
I would try the egg
You did Tokyo Banana dirty! But I would also try the gorgonzola honey and caramel cookies. Also adore your omiyage reinactment!
Omg, i want it all !!
Love this video! Please do more ❤
📣Can I get these souvenirs in places other than Tokyo Station?
Thoroughly enjoyed your vid, can’t wait to visit Japan this November…omg the snacks😜
🤤
A super helpful and informative video. Thank you 🙂
Those are some beautiful souvenirs from Tokyo. Also the Japanese Kitkats are very delicious. Sarah you always do such a wonderful review on all the items yiu have in your videos.
Thank you!! 🥹
The tamago one definitely catches my interest! Great video.
Thank you! 🙌
I’m in Tokyo for another day souvenir shopping and this is exactly what I was looking for!!! I’d much rather take home a bunch of delicious snacks than little trinkets for my loved ones, so thank you sooo much for this!
Hi Sarah. Your newest subscriber from Singapore. Really enjoyed your reviews of the souvenirs. Good camera work and great content. Thank you very much.
Thank you for subbing!! Welcome to the channel 🙌 (I love Singapore)
LOL at the omiage gifting at the office 😂 I love it
Thanks for sharing. They are so helpful… my family is travelling to Japan this Nov/Dec… will buy some of the snacks & eat them while in Tokyo. 😊😊
Glad the video helped!
Hiya! Good to see you! I would like to try them all as I really, really like snacks. The honey and gorganzola looks outstanding. Until next video, be well and enjoy!
The honey and gorgonzola cookies were sooooo goooood 🤤
I don't usually buy snacks or souvenirs when I travel, but after watching this video, I want to try them ALL!!! I'd say the black sesame egg would be at the top of my list, because I love black sesame. Oishisou!!
Yessss if you’re a fan of black sesame, the Goma Tamago will be a win 🤤
Ooohh! The B.T.B. Sablé sounds good and the fact that you loved it, that will have be #1 on my list... or maybe the castella. 🤣
Both super good 🤤
I bought so many snack items from the Tokyo airport! What I love is how fresh everything is. In Canada expiry dates are a whole year later for snack products sometimes more. Ill be back Japan!
Love this video idea on reviewing food souvenirs and hearing your commentary on each one. I think I'd buy the castella and the cheese cookie to bring back!
Btw my guess is the "wich" is the same as the "wich" in "sandwich" so you had a berry sandwich and a caramel sandwich. 😀
Glad you found the video useful! ☺️
And thank you! It must be short for sandwich 🥪
My Tokyo Banana boxes survived my trip home. I had them years ago but I still had to buy them again. Because of the expiration date, I only bought two 8-count boxes. They’re pretty good and the banana custard has a very natural flavor and not overly sweet. I ate them all in two days, haha.
You finished two 8-count boxes in two days!? 😱 You must really like it!! 😂
The culture of the travel gift for colleagues is an interesting custom. In Europe we don't necessarily do it after a trip, we usually bring something to eat for birthdays or special occasions. I usually bring around 150 croissants to share with the people on the open office floor...
These treats look delicious, but now I'll have to try the Tokyo banana with Doraemon flavor :D
Oh wow 150 croissants is a lot 🥐😂
I think the tree from Sugar Butter Sand Tree is Skytree. Also want to note that there is a gluten free version of Tokyo Banana made with rice flour.
Heyyy 😄😁
I swear, your videos are getting rarer than Mini Tokyo Cacao KitKats 😂
A pretty delectable selection of Omiyage snacks, but sentimental old me says I'm a sucker for Tokyo Banana 🥹🍌
However, I'd be remiss if I didn't give BTB Sable major points as well. So sublime 🤤
Anyway, I'll stop here before I get too homesick lol
Take care 😁
Hahaha great 😂 Thanks for the comment as always!
Because Japanese Omiyage packaging - is a gift in itself.
Sarahさんこんにちは！
東京駅、１日あっても時間足りないくらいですよね笑笑
ジャガビーの東京curry食べてみたいです😆
暑い日、じめじめな日が続いてますので体調気を付けてくださいね🥵
こんにちは！
まさに東京駅で丸1日過ごした時の動画を今度あげるのでそちらも是非観てください！😂
じめじめですね🥲色々と風邪とかも流行してるみたいなので、虹虹さんもお気をつけて🥹
I quite like “Omiyage” culture in Japan. It fosters some nice interactions with your co-workers and can show off where you visited. I assume it’s usually an edible snack? Have you received or given other types of souvenirs?
Yesss you can definitely show off where you visited! It’s a great way to start a conversation as well! It’s usually edible snack, but I give the girls other souvenirs (e.g. face masks, soaps, etc.).
Love to get some food souvenirs. So curious about what their food looks and tastes like. I am from Colorado USA 🇺🇸 👋😃👋
The BTB Sable was so good that I decided to use a proxy service to buy and ship another box of 9 pieces after coming back from my trip. I'd also recommend the Bon Napoleon from Almond (sorry Tokyo Foodie Mama) and Tako Patie from Osaka Takoyaki Sweets. There's just so many souvenir snacks and not enough suitcase space!
Oh I’m glad you also liked the BTB Sable! I’d love to try your recommendations! 🤤
Can i buy the BTB Sable in osaka .
First time watching ur channel…. Can I find these yummy snacks anywhere else besides Tokyo station?? I’ll be in Yokohama late September!!
Sarah try killer adobo,menudo,dinuguan and kaldereta
just because of your reaction i would choose BTB Sable
Yes!! 🙌
Hokkaido butter from Hokkaido Foodist there in Tokyo station
@15:13
It's just taking the second half of the English word sandwhich...which in that context means nothing by itself....think of it as ekiben, they took Ben from bento and another word, same with which, they took the back half of sandwich and added the item it was made with in front
Is Tokyo station the only place to buy Tokyo Banana souvenirs? My mom asked me to buy some and when I checked the main website, it didn’t provide much info on where to get them. I’ll be arriving to Japan this weekend for a couple weeks. If you’re interested in hanging out or doing a collab, let me know Sarah. 😊
KONNICHIWA
Sugoi!
How does a Salary Woman find time to post videos!? My cousin Tatchan works as a Salaryman for Rakuten..and when we visit, he's never around! lol It's like 50, 60 hour work weeks. His dad, Miki-sama, Also worked as a Salaryman and he had to get an aparto in Tokyo while living in Saitima...
My wife and I we were driving through Tokyo about 8 pm on a Tuesday, from Fuji to Tsukubamira, and I was stunned how many people we would could still see, from our car on the highway, hard at work in the offices. Signs on the Highway said "please drive quietly don't honk". Anyway, ga ba n ta ne! Find a good life balance, don't get burnt out like Miki-sama, ne?
May i suggest trying another 10 for variety and choice for us viewers, coz i know there are a lot and all are in Japanese, people get confused on what to try next. I, for one, am a chocolate lover, would love to try anything that's chocolate. I remember going to one souvenir shop in Akihabara years ago and didn't buy anything, coz i didn't know what they were, what they taste like and they are not cheap either.
Thanks.
Thanks for the comment! I’m also a chocolate lover 🤤 I’ll try to make more videos on souvenirs!
You can expand ur selection to include supermarket/7-11 snacks that are all written in Japanese. That would be in another vlog. 😊
I bought that BTB sable from Tokyo! It's not working for me 😅 I like truffle I like sable, but somehow this combo doesn't taste nice to me at all. When you have a salty and sweet combo, it's always more salty or more sweet. But this sable is equally salty and sweet! I just cannot accept it 😂
Oh noooo! But thanks for letting me know! It shows how different people have different preferences! 🥹
Nice video. My nephew is in Tokyo for vacay now. The 🤨🤨🤨 know.
The 🤨🤨🤨 hahaha 😂
Where in tokyo you bought this snack?
At a store called Gift Kiosk in Tokyo station! However you can get these in a lot of other stations in Tokyo.
👍🏻👍🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇯🇵🇯🇵
it would be better if you could rank them at the end, thanks
I miss the beauty of miss Sarah.
😊😊

Wich is the second half of sandwich
I seeee! Thanks for letting me know!!
@@TokyoFoodieSarah It is an American style of conjunction. So a caramelwich is a sandwich made with caramel, yet a cheesewich is a sandwich that uses sliced cheese as the “bread” with sliced deli meat in the middle.
@@patricktroester8855 Oh I didn’t know that! Thanks!!
What you do if you have 50 coworkers? You need to buy like 10 of these boxes to feed them all.
It’s very rare that you will have to buy souvenirs for all 50 people. Usually when you are away for a few days you would just give them to your department/group/team which would be 10-20 people usually. There are boxes of 20-30 packs depending on the snack, so you can get those bigger boxes!
Hi, great video i.m planing a vacation to Tokyo for 5 days .Its my first time. Hope to find someone to show me around .Hope you can help me? I.m from the United States Mark
Marry me !!!
Sarah gained 5 pounds during the filming of this video😉
I probably did 😱
