- There's probably chocolate on my face. (laughs)

00:04

Are you zooming in

00:04

on the chocolate on my face? - Yeah.

00:06

I'll zoom out, I'll zoom out. (Safiya laughing)

00:07

(upbeat music)

00:12

- Hello, friends, and welcome to another video.

00:15

This week, we're gonna be trying

00:17

the most viral Japanese desserts we could find.

00:20

It's the Instagram versus reality final boss.

00:23

Because if these things aren't good,

00:25

I will be very sad. (chuckles)

00:26

Now, recently, I've noticed a serious renaissance

00:29

of viral aesthetic dessert content all over my feeds,

00:32

on Instagram, of course, but also TikTok.

00:35

And yes,

00:36

let's acknowledge YouTube shorts' existence as well,

00:38

all over my YouTube shorts tab.

00:40

And though I think viral desserts

00:41

have always been popular on the internet,

00:43

now that virtually every platform

00:45

is a short-form video platform, these things are everywhere.

00:49

I think it just resonates

00:50

with some natural human instinct like,

00:52

hey, that's really pretty.

00:54

Now, let me put it in my mouth.

00:55

And though there are other strong contenders out there,

00:57

NYC, Vegas, France, Korea,

01:01

it does seem that Japan has emerged

01:03

as the king of viral aesthetic dessert content.

01:06

From floating mochi sculptures

01:07

to jelly flower water droplets,

01:09

showers of green noodles, edible crochet pillows,

01:12

two-dimensional cakes, and gravity-defying soft serve,

01:15

I do want to put them in my mouth.

01:17

But I have noticed that a lot of these videos,

01:19

however visually mesmerizing, do tend to finish

01:22

before they tell us what these things actually taste like.

01:25

I mean, it's short-form, it's gotta be short.

01:28

But that does leave a lot of questions unanswered,

01:30

like what is this made out of?

01:32

What is the texture of these green noodles?

01:34

And is it possible that something

01:36

that looks this cute could also taste good at all?

01:39

And cherry on top of the proverbial cake,

01:42

since they're all the way across the world,

01:44

these questions are even harder to answer.

01:46

But when planning our content trip to Japan,

01:49

I realized this could be the perfect opportunity

01:51

to investigate some of these viral desserts

01:54

that have been autoplaying in my mind.

01:56

To try them IRL and see if they're actually any good.

01:59

My hopes are delusively high.

02:01

Also, because there are so many viral Japanese desserts

02:04

out there, we did have to narrow down our list a lot.

02:07

So, if you wanna see a part two,

02:08

let us know in the comments below.

02:10

Now, when you're wandering around the streets of Kyoto

02:12

looking for your fifth viral dessert of the day,

02:15

you're probably gonna want some data

02:16

because heaven forbid, something comes between you

02:18

and your flour ice cream

02:20

that you traveled 7,000 miles to get.

02:22

In which case, you might wanna check out the sponsor

02:24

of today's video, Saily,

02:26

brought to you by the same people who made NordVPN.

02:29

Now, some of you guys might know, I'm a big fan of Saily,

02:32

which is an eSIM provider

02:33

that lets you easily purchase data plans

02:35

whenever you travel internationally.

02:36

And as we have traveled to a variety

02:38

of different places on this channel, I can tell you

02:40

that there's really no better feeling

02:42

than arriving to a new place,

02:43

being able to turn on your phone,

02:45

and knowing that you immediately have data.

02:47

No longer do you have to wait at the airport

02:49

to buy a SIM card

02:50

or pay expensive roaming fees from your domestic phone plan.

02:53

Saily's got your back

02:54

in over 200 destinations around the world.

02:57

And new to the party is Saily Ultra,

02:59

which is weirdly awesome.

03:01

For a monthly fee,

03:02

not only do you get access to an unlimited global data plan,

03:05

you also get access to NordVPN, NordPass, and NordLocker,

03:09

to keep your internet activity

03:10

and information safe and secure while traveling.

03:13

And you also get real life perks while traveling,

03:16

like priority access at check-in and airport security

03:19

and access to select airport lounges.

03:21

This is actually crazy.

03:23

I need to go to the airport right now

03:24

and go somewhere to try this out.

03:26

So, don't let your viral dessert dreams be memes.

03:29

Get an eSIM with Saily.

03:30

And you can get $3 off your next Saily data plan,

03:33

including Saily Ultra

03:35

by using the code safiya3 at checkout

03:37

on the Saily app or at saily.com/safiya3.

03:40

And with that, let's eat.

03:42

And though our quest

03:43

is gonna take us all over the country, actually,

03:46

our first stop is gonna be in Tokyo

03:48

to get some viral matcha noodles

03:50

in the Asakusa neighborhood,

03:51

which is kinda like a touristy historic district.

03:54

Framed by the large Senso-ji temple,

03:56

there's an outdoor market,

03:57

and lots of street vendors

03:58

selling other tasty-looking desserts

04:00

that could be upcoming viral sensations nearby.

04:03

Now, I've seen a bunch of videos

04:05

about these viral matcha noodles.

04:06

The dish itself seems to be a kind of ice cream cone,

04:09

on top of which, they dispense a waterfall

04:12

of stretchy looking green noodles.

04:14

And besides raising a few questions, namely, what are they,

04:17

they are super eye-catching

04:19

and I've always wanted to try them.

04:20

Now, the place that sells them is called Chacha Futatsume,

04:23

which is a cozy little storefront down a quiet side street.

04:26

And though at this point,

04:27

there are a few other places that make this dessert,

04:29

I think this is the shop

04:31

that invented this dish back in 2022.

04:33

The noodling process itself is pretty quick.

04:36

They have the cones pre-constructed in the back,

04:38

and then they come out

04:39

to squeeze the noodles live in front of you.

04:41

I'm sure they know

04:42

this is the money shot that everyone wants to see.

04:45

- Whoa. - And then,

04:46

they dollop on a little bit of edible gold at the end.

04:49

Fancy.

04:50

- [Tyler] Dude, it went super fast.

04:51

- [Safiya] Yes, I think I got the shot.

04:52

- Okay. - Did you?

04:53

- [Tyler] I don't know. (Safiya and Tyler laughing)

04:55

- We'll do it again.

04:56

The cone does look just like the videos in person,

04:59

but based on a diagram inside the store,

05:01

there does seem to be multiple layers

05:03

of other stuff underneath the ice cream and noodles

05:05

that we didn't previously know about.

05:07

- [Tyler] A lot.

05:08

- [Safiya] I might have to eat through the noodles

05:09

to get there. - Okay.

05:11

- Cheers. Do I just go, ah?

05:13

- [Tyler] Go right

05:14

for the gold, baby. - Okay.

05:15

I guess the only way

05:15

to eat a matcha noodle ice cream is one bite at a time.

05:19

Now, first impressions, it's not cold. It's very pasty.

05:24

These noodles

05:24

aren't like "Lady and the Tramp's spaghetti noodles

05:26

that you can pull and stretch.

05:28

My teeth, when they chomped the noodles,

05:32

turned them back into paste.

05:33

You can see

05:34

there's a block of paste - Oh yeah.
