food

art

bento

s, particularly those that were inspired by tik tok and are fun and cute, but we wanted to pay tribute to the inventors of

food

art

bento

the kaizeki, so today we're going to try something real, so expensive, in fact, I bought this and Terry is eating a vector with fruit. Look how beautiful this restaurant is where we only order. seats three tables per seat there are three tables in this restaurant that's how seriously they take this gastronomic art now this is the top layer what's so cool so we've grilled a5 miyazaki wagyu with ponzu sauce now the wagyu beef is one of the most expensive beef you can buy, these cows get really good treatment and they are extremely marbled, like there is so much fat in the wagyu it just melts in your mouth and I am so excited to try that, look how juicy and brilliant it is.

Does that look like beef to you? It's a rare steak, Janelle, oh, it's in ponzu sauce. Daikon soaked in spring Japanese plum and turnip. Now I wanted to have a drink for this. The sake brand was founded in 1688 and was unavailable. for the public at first it was only available to the lords I don't even know what the lords are this is like something from feudal Japan see how that goes like a little bit just you know wet my beak just wet your beak with a 2019 international Award winner sake Yes, it's really good, it reminds me of all the sakes I've

tried

, but it's a little less thick.

This dumpling here is homemade sesame tofu with a, oh, try it, sesame wasabi. They go very very well together, this is the softest tofu I have ever

tried

, it melts in your mouth like butter, imagine the taste of wasabi but not spicy, that's what it is and I know it probably sounds weird but it really works, You know, that thing they shave to make wasabi. I just ate that thing. We have Japanese pompano fish here, which I don't know. It is apparently described as the most edible fish in the world because it is sweet and soft and you can eat it.

All this boiled tomaya hotaru iga, which are firefly squid. I don't know what a firefly squid is, but it looks interesting and a sweet miso on top. There are also palette cleansers here. That's just a pure squid. Yes, I don't know. Alright. really weird, that makes me nervous, this is literally like anime food, it's crazy to me how the presentation is as important as the taste of this type of bento box and I'm living for it, I've never tried Japanese food at this

level

before , so that's the fish, yeah, I don't know how this fish keeps up with the most expensive meat in the world.

What is this? I'm eating it. Mountain potato flower look at the little star. Okay, I'm scared. It's time to eat the squid. I don't know about this I have to do it I can't I'm doing it I can't it's the best squid I've ever had in my life I just don't like the way it all is If I grew up eating this then what a delight what is this this looks like a broom a piece of fish it is sweet I think it's a Japanese ginger stuffed with egg yolk with sweet vinegar no, that's it this this is Japanese ginger stuffed with egg yolk with sweet vinegar what a fun thing it's so fruity, floral and citrusy and the yolk is so delicious that It's like all of this transcends time so this

level

was the best I've ever had in my life and it's also supposed to be an eight course meal that was really filling so I can't imagine how it gets any better let's take it away and move on to the next, oh, that's great, oh, slow-cooked arrowroot potato, taro root potato, plum flavor, Kyoto red carrot, burdock root with fuki, also known as Japanese spring stem vegetable, like this that this there are many Japanese vegetables there is a white turnip dome with sweet rice a meat simmered for four days oh, here there are soba noodles and shrimp wrapped with seaweed, baked bamboo shoots there are shrimp inside fried rice crackers, okay , what is this like a prawn with soba noodles wrapped? seaweed and I eat a tempura batter and it's really good, I know this is corn, it looks like zucchini, yeah, I guess I'll eat this corn, the dog is also trying to eat your vegetables in Asia, corn is a very important thing, never I really appreciate it. the way we make corn here, but every time I eat it there or as part of an Asian meal, I can really appreciate it a lot better, a little bit of peas, it gives me that pretty good, eh, I know it's high quality cuisine , I know.

I'd be crying too, I don't know what this is all about, but it's really like everything is so good, this looks like a witch's broom, oh, everything about this, they really thought about it, oh, this is eel, I've never had it before liked the eel. but that's really enough for me. I don't know what this is, but I'm sure this will be it for me too. It's Peter Pumpkin Head. It's just that potatoes are supposed to taste so good. Yes, I need to know what it is. The thing is because this thing is crazy, oh it's a white turnip dome with sweet rice, well I'm going to try this thing, look at this, it's your birthday, this is okra with stuffed shrimp inside and rice cracker on top .

Who does that for a bite? Who? does this for a bite I hope they make it again I would go vegetarian for these vegetables they are so good some of them are stuffed with meat yes but here we have box number two wow it's a fresh pair of chopsticks oh wow you got it than to get them. a picture of this this is crazy so this is a trapped sea breeze surrounded by some palette cleansers how cute is this mini soy sauce there are radishes there are carrots there is daikon there is a garagar i have never had a gargaar in a way that wasn't like a meme, you know what I mean, like gargling like jellies or jellies or whatever, I've never tried it, like I've never tried this seriously, but first I'll eat the fish, it's very tender, it'll be light . dip it so you can taste it I usually only buy salmon sashimi because I find the others have a strange texture, it's hard or too fishy, ​​this has everything I like about sashimi, it's very nice and the soy sauce is actually a sauce light and sweet soy with nuts that complements the fish very well.

Okay, I'm going to try one of these. A daikon with vinegar wrapped in radish. Oh, it's like a light and very mild pickled vegetable, it goes very well with fish. temperature gargaar little dots on it the agar gar tastes like the whole experience like wrapped in one it's like it's like an umami bomb I thought it was going to be a little sweeter like radish and stuff, but it's not. Eat the bird, it's carved from a vegetable, oh, it's a daikon radish crane, it's the best crane I've ever tasted. All of these are like the best version of the vegetable or meat you've ever had, because of the way they're folded. it's really pretty, so now we move on to my favorite dessert of the day, so this is just fruit, this is just shizuoka melon, i don't know how to pronounce that, but shizuoka musk melon, now these melons are going for up to 22,000 melons, I personally don't think this is a 22,000 melon, but I think this sold for about 300 if you look at the net overseas, this melon to be able to grow was a full time job and it took me like a hundred days to grow this melon.

I examined it as if it were a very expensive fruit. It's very interesting to me. Ahem, Kampai tangerines. I don't know much about that though. It seems to me that it is simply. Japanese Orange I've tried a lot of mochi like from the Asian supermarket and stuff, but I've never tried a really authentic one, we're not playing around, this is how we make mochi. I've never tried things as intense as that. I'm really here, look, I've never tried that first. We are going to try the melon, so the Japanese really like to give each other very pretty fruits and I think that is the nicest thing, since there is no garbage.

You are like giving someone a very well cared for fruit. I have eaten many melons in my life. I took the first bite. The juice ran down my pants. Well, I see what you did there. I thought, "Oh, she's fine, she's a juicer." so I tried to take a second bite to make up for the amount of juice that got on my pants and more juice got on my pants. My pants are covered in melon juice. Normally I hate melon but if there was a perfect melon this would be it it tastes like melon but it's also quite sweet but not too sweet it's like taking a drink and taking a bite at the same time it just makes a big mess it gets everywhere look how cute is that they wrap them they like water these polish them like they have special polishing gloves, it's quite a test to get these melons to work, that's what she said: you want some melon, eat some melon, well, this is a very expensive melon, I mean, that's one way to not leave the juice everywhere when you take a bite, go to the tangerine, tangerine dream, this tangerine seems to have little bubbles inside, like it knows that regular tangerines have that, but you can really see the bubbles in this, it's like there are more chambers to hold the juice, if all tangerines tasted like that I'm starting to feel like I don't like the fruit because I'm eating our junk fruit, yeah , like our American junk fruit, like we don't even have mangosteen, to hell with these expensive things, I just want like the normal fruit they have in Asia just the normal fruit this is the best tangerine I have ever tasted in my entire life it's like the perfect, subtle and beautiful tangerine flavor not even a hint of acidity is so perfect that it almost tastes like a tangerine perfume would smell, taste like tangerine essence.

I just burped and it was the most pleasant citrus-floral burp I've ever had in my life. People who eat like this, their breath is probably good in the morning, maybe that's why they all live there. See you later, I don't know anyway, let's try this mochi. What could be innovative about this? I mean, the blade has a cool touch, but how good could it be? The leaf is salty. I do not know about that. Put my mouth around the blade. At first it was very strange because I thought: Why is this supposed to be a dessert?

That's why it's salty. I come from a world where we eat chocolate cake. It's just sweet. That's all. It's a little shocking at first the salt, but then when you bite. the inside is so sweet that it becomes the perfect mix of sweet and salty, you know, like a batch of chocolate chip cookies, it's only really good if you put enough salt in it or if you like dark chocolate with a There are little flakes of sea salt that have something like that, but I've never eaten anything like that. I have eaten a lot of mochi in my life.

I've never eaten anything like this. I feel so bad for myself. Because? Because you have never eaten. I tried it before because I had never tried it before. My stupid ass thought red bean paste was supposed to taste like he was trying it at the store. No, this is what kidney beans taste like. Do you want to buy it? Which elevates this. What I feel is that the fragrance is as strong as if it were still in my mouth right now. A lot of it probably has to do with the cherry blossom leaf like it's like an explosion of red beans and flowers in my mouth so it actually tastes like spring.

It tastes like making out with senpai under the cherry blossom tree, it actually lets me take it without the leaf because the leaf is quite strong, it's okay, the rice is actually not that tasty, it's supposed to be a carrier and it's supposed to have that glutinous feeling. so it has the feel of a dessert, the real money is the red bean leaf and paste. They are like tea, but with a little salt on top. Why are kidney beans so good? The red bean paste that you get to the store like inside the mochi it's like it's brown like a very thin paste like you can still see the skin of the bean in it there are some sweets yeah now we have a little thank you dessert that no It's part of the bento but I want to see what's in here and how do you know if they can make things simpler, good girl, I'm getting impatient, thank you, what is this?

A little matcha bean that looks great, hey, it's a lot milder than I thought it would be there's a lot of matcha in that and it's like it's real matcha, it's not like that matcha flavor you get in a lot of coffee shops, the Real matcha has a very strong flavor and whenever people say like I eat matcha without sweetener, it always makes me nervous because I don't think they know what matcha really tastes like, but yeah, that's very matcha-e, if you had ice cream of green tea, that's right, what's up with this? They are both really good, I prefer the fruit and the mochi, but they are really good.

Popular food art tiktok bentos are great because they take normal foods and make them more fun to eat in an artistic way. It's more or less the same because it's a lot. of very regular ingredients it's like taro, just radishes, just beef, but everything is made to a higher grade and all the craftsmanship in each piece of presentation makes eating more fun, I think it's worth it. I think it's worth the higher price. What I'm trying to say here is that I think it's really fun when people try to make art out of food. What I just ate was an experience like it felt really authentic. someone was sharing their culture with me similar to how I feel when I go to Singapore and eat, you know what I mean, like it's special.

I'm veryglad I was able to try it and I hope you enjoyed watching me enjoy it. I feel like it was probably hard to watch. Hey, I hope this encourages you to support. Your local cultural hot spots, these guys at this restaurant are doing food at a really high level and for the last year, like voting, they only seat three people a night and now no one's been there for a year, I hope they do well. It was nice to be able to support them and what they do, like keeping their culture alive and keeping the art of eating alive.

I hope you enjoyed this video. If you want to see me again, be sure to send notifications. See you next time, bye.
