Must-Eat Snacks at Tokyo Disney Resort | 325

[00:00:00] Speaker A: 325 of the TDR now podcast. We're the first English speaking podcast about Asian theme parks like Tokyo Disneyland and Disneysea and Universal Studios and all those other super duper fun places. I'm one of your hosts, Trish. I help, I work with the city tourism and one of the projects we're working on now is called Discover Urayasu. So if you're on Instagram, check that out. My personal account is Ream Sweets Love on Instagram and on threads, I guess. And oh my gosh, so you can find pictures of food and we're going to be talking about lots of yummy, yummy food today. Here is the delightful. Chris. Chris. Hello. [00:00:47] Speaker B: Hello. [00:00:48] Speaker A: I'm so excited about the topic today. [00:00:50] Speaker B: It's a good one. Yeah. I mean, I think I always mention when I do my little intro here is I'm the one that you see on camera all the time stuffing my face. And I think this is right up my alley. [00:01:03] Speaker A: So, yes. [00:01:04] Speaker B: I mean food is a quintessential part of the theme park experience. Right? [00:01:11] Speaker A: For sure. [00:01:12] Speaker B: You're there all day, you need to eat. So you do make it fun, make it weird colors, make it weird shapes, make it weird flavors. Or not make it, I don't know, just make it good. I suppose. [00:01:27] Speaker A: Themed. I want a themed. [00:01:29] Speaker B: Themed, yes. Oh, themed, Yes. I will take theme. Like theme and then flavor. Flavor. Theme. [00:01:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Because if it's like, okay, we've talked about this before. We've been to these collaboration cafes and just because it's themed doesn't mean it tastes good. But usually Disney does have good flavors. So I mean, they're at worst inoffensive, at best delightful. So you can't go wrong at the Disney theme parks. [00:02:03] Speaker B: I honestly cannot think of something that I've had that is, was like ever like disgusting. There's things that I didn't enjoy, like churros, like, you know, like it's a personal preference, Right. I just don't care for them. No, for sure. [00:02:19] Speaker A: I get it. [00:02:19] Speaker B: You know, like they're not disgusting, right? No, they're not. [00:02:23] Speaker A: It's just I like personally, I like them. [00:02:26] Speaker B: But I've been to some cafes, collaboration cafes, where I'm like, oh, this is not like I'm paying how much for you? [00:02:35] Speaker A: Literally? [00:02:37] Speaker B: Yeah, like you literally like, okay, I'm just going to, I'm just going to call them out. [00:02:41] Speaker A: Listen, you get a coaster. [00:02:43] Speaker B: Okay, fine, sure. Yes. But I remember going to the Kingdom Hearts Cafe, the popup cafe. This was like 2020, I think I went, I like, we paid a premium for the food and it was just like the Mickey. Like the mashed potatoes were scooped. Mashed potatoes that looked like Mickey Mouse. Right. Like, you know, circular with like the wafer things. You know, they put in food here to give it shape or whatever. It was just bland potatoes that were colored black. I'm like, really? You couldn't have done something else with this to give it something like, I can make mashed. I can make black mashed potatoes at home, for crying out loud. [00:03:26] Speaker A: You know, I do like black colored food, though. It's really fun. [00:03:30] Speaker B: It is fine. Yeah, it is. [00:03:32] Speaker A: But we can make it at home, so don't judge that much for it unless you're doing something really spectacular. [00:03:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Which Disney does a good job at. [00:03:42] Speaker A: They do. [00:03:43] Speaker B: They do a good job at. [00:03:44] Speaker A: And the packaging is always super cute too. It's like the whole, like the whole thing. [00:03:49] Speaker B: The whole thing is always really lovely. [00:03:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:03:52] Speaker B: So today we're going to be talking about what we think are some of our must eat snacks at Tokyo Disney. So the stuff that's at both parks and whatnot. But before we get into that, I want to tell you wonderful explorers about a brand new series of guidebooks. And this is the first one that we have launched. By the time this episode comes out, I think it should be out. So as you know, we have our full guidebooks for Universal Studios Japan and also Tokyo Disney Resort. That helps you plan your trip from start to finish. Like saying when to visit, what hotels to stay at, how to buy tickets, how everything in the park works, all that stuff. Like, they're. They're pretty hefty guides. Right. They're pretty dense. Not gonna lie, there's a lot of information in those things. We wanted to make something that is a little more. A little lighter, a little more easily consumable, pun intended. And just a little more like playful. So we are doing a. Well, we released the first one. It's a food guide and this is the snack edition. And it's all about snacks at Tokyo Disney. That's all we talk about in this guidebook. So it's a smaller little companion guidebook to our bigger guidebooks and we have illustrations of all the different types of snacks that you can find at the resort. It's all stuff that I've personally handpicked that I think people need to know about. So you get an idea of like what kind of snacks you can find at the park when you're on the go, where to find them. You know, if Things are hot or cold, sweet or salty, where to find them, what restaurants are available at and if they have mobile ordering, the prices of it all and also the names in English and Japanese. So then if you're having troubles finding something because you know things do change, that just how things work, you can show the picture to the cast member and the Japanese is also on there. So then there's, there should be, you know, no miscommunication happening there. We want to make it very easy for you to find stuff that people will like. And we've also included, included information on what some of the snacks could potentially be wheat free, could potentially be vegetarian, or could be potentially plant based. And we got that information from the Tokyo Disney Resort Allergen website because they do provide some of that information. So it's available on our website. Just head over to our website. I'll put a link in the show notes as well. If you go to trxplorer.com books, it'll be there. The link will be there. So go and check it out. We put a lot of work into it. We've been working on it for half a year at this point. The illustrations are so good. Gio was the one that did the illustrations in the, in the book. She's, she did such a wonderful job. She's been doing illustrations for stuff on the website and also the other guide books. But also you've probably seen stuff like on our YouTube channel as well. Like the little rating system that I have for the food. There's a, there's a little illustration of me eating. That was her. So, yeah, very playful guidebook and I think everyone's really going to enjoy it and if things go well, we'll make more of them. [00:07:24] Speaker A: Wait, I want to know what are the other ones going to be like about? [00:07:29] Speaker B: I'll have to. [00:07:30] Speaker A: Give us a hint. Give us a hint. [00:07:33] Speaker B: Well, they're, you know, we did one Tokyo Disney. There might be in one about a different resort in a different part of the country. [00:07:39] Speaker A: Oh my goodness. [00:07:40] Speaker B: We'll see. [00:07:42] Speaker A: Okay. Okay. Thank you for that. [00:07:44] Speaker B: Yeah. So, yeah, make sure you go check it out. [00:07:48] Speaker A: It sounds so fun. [00:07:49] Speaker B: So let's get into the snacks. [00:07:52] Speaker A: Let's do it. [00:07:53] Speaker B: We could talk forever on this. So this is, this is not going to be a comprehensive list, but it's. [00:08:00] Speaker A: Gonna be the whole podcast series on snacks. [00:08:03] Speaker B: Right? We can do one. It's just like, we can do one just popcorn. One that's just ice cream. [00:08:08] Speaker A: One is just like around Japan or something. [00:08:10] Speaker B: Character shaped. One that is Just seasonal stuff. I think we do. We talk about seasonal stuff all the time because it's just. It's never ending. [00:08:19] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:08:19] Speaker B: But yeah, man, where do we even start? Do we start with. Let's start with popcorn? Let's just get the popcorn out of the way now. Popcorn. Popcorn does change. Oh, recently they. Thank goodness they did this. So the. I think we mentioned this before too. All the menus online, the food menus are all in English now, thank goodness. Also, like in the app and also on the website, which is wonderful. It wasn't like that six months ago, so I'm glad that they did that. But also included in that is the popcorn website that Tokyo Disney has is also in English now. [00:09:01] Speaker A: Nice. [00:09:02] Speaker B: Because before it was only in Japanese and it was kind of a pain if you didn't read or speak Japanese. Kind of hard to figure it out. But yeah, if you go to tdl Popcorn jp, that's the popcorn website. I don't actually know how to navigate to it in English, but when it loads the website, if you look at the URL, if you type in en, like slash en in the URL, I think, like, I can't remember where exactly, but you can change it into English and it's all in English. There's. There's probably a way to navigate to it, but I don't know off the top of my hand. So maybe just play around on the English website. You should be able to find it. But it lists all the current popcorn flavors and current popcorn buckets and where to find them. [00:09:49] Speaker A: What's your favorite popcorn flavor right now? [00:09:55] Speaker B: If you were to say, say like, if you said, Chris, what's Your favorite savory one? Black pepper. 100%. [00:10:01] Speaker A: Oh, for sure. [00:10:03] Speaker B: That is a classic that has been around since the dawn of time. And I want them to never get rid of it because it's so good. [00:10:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:10] Speaker B: And if you asked me sweet, I would have to say honey. [00:10:12] Speaker A: Yes. Oh, my God. Twins. Okay. Yes. [00:10:16] Speaker B: It's a classic. I. It was touch and go there for a while. Do you remember when they got rid of it? It was gone for a while. [00:10:21] Speaker A: I was so sad. I was very sad. [00:10:23] Speaker B: I was distraught. I was like, what? [00:10:25] Speaker A: I was like, what do you mean there's no honey? [00:10:27] Speaker B: You do not sell anything about honey at the popcorn stand across from Pooh's Honey Hunt. [00:10:33] Speaker A: Yes. [00:10:33] Speaker B: Nothing else will suffice. You cannot, cannot, oh, cry, do anything else at that location. Like, it is just not. It's no. That it should be illegal to sell any kind of other Popcorn flavor there. You just don't do that. But thankfully they brought it back. So it's gone for a while. I don't know why. Will never know why. Probably a supplier issue for if you want to be boring. That's why. What it was. [00:10:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:00] Speaker B: But yeah, it's back. Thank goodness. Honey. Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. [00:11:04] Speaker A: Best. Yeah. [00:11:07] Speaker B: What about you? What other flavors do you like? [00:11:09] Speaker A: I'm the same as you. Black pepper and honey are my go tos. And then whatever is like new or seasonal. I want to. [00:11:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:18] Speaker A: You know what? I like the jalapeno one. [00:11:20] Speaker B: I missed the jalapeno one. [00:11:22] Speaker A: It was really good. [00:11:23] Speaker B: The jalapeno, cheddar, jalapeno cheese, whatever it was. [00:11:26] Speaker A: And the strawberry tasted like frankenberry cereal. [00:11:30] Speaker B: Yes, it did. It did. [00:11:31] Speaker A: It was so good. Do they still have strawberry? [00:11:36] Speaker B: A strawberry milk or something? Let me pull it up. [00:11:39] Speaker A: Is it the same? [00:11:40] Speaker B: Actually. Okay. When you go to the. Oh no, that's wrong. Never mind. Hold on. Okay. When you go to TDL popcorn jp, you can also type in TDS Popcorn jp. [00:11:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:11:54] Speaker B: And then it's, it's, it's a. It's a vanity URL. So it's going to redirect you to a different URL. [00:12:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:12:01] Speaker B: You're going to see it's going to be in Japanese. If you go after ever says Tokyo DisneyResort JP, type in EN and then slash again and then it should be TDL slash and blah blah, blah, blah. Or that should. That'll change it to English. [00:12:16] Speaker A: You can check the snack book. [00:12:19] Speaker B: Yeah, also our snack book. Yeah, we have that in there too. But the snack book, we don't put the locations in just because they change so often. [00:12:26] Speaker A: Oh, true. Yeah. [00:12:27] Speaker B: That's the only thing. It changes too much. [00:12:30] Speaker A: That's true. [00:12:31] Speaker B: We can't update it that much. Okay. Popcorn flavors. It always throws me off when like Japan uses the American spelling things. It's like flavor. In Canada we spell it with a. [00:12:46] Speaker A: U. Oh, with a U. You know what? I prefer that spelling actually. [00:12:50] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:12:51] Speaker A: It always made more sense to me. [00:12:53] Speaker B: When I see it spelled this way, the American way. It just like. I'm like, that's wrong. Yeah, that is wrong. Yeah. So there's caramel, soy sauce and butter. Soy sauce and butter is a good one. [00:13:03] Speaker A: It is. That's another classic. [00:13:08] Speaker B: Milk chocolate one's okay. It tastes like Cocoa Pebbles in my opinion. [00:13:12] Speaker A: It does. [00:13:13] Speaker B: Curry flavor is also very good. They have the classic salt flavor. I mean, you can't go wrong with it. [00:13:21] Speaker A: You know, it's like, basic, but sometimes you feel basic. Yeah, it's good. [00:13:25] Speaker B: Then they have the honey, the black pepper, the white chocolate. It's not my favorite. It's fine. [00:13:30] Speaker A: I don't like the white chocolate either. [00:13:31] Speaker B: Corn Portage. That one's new. [00:13:34] Speaker A: You know what I want? I want, like, a matcha milk. [00:13:37] Speaker B: Yeah. It's always weird. It's like corn. Here's corn flavored popcorn. [00:13:42] Speaker A: Like corn. [00:13:44] Speaker B: I know. Like corn. Frittage is different. Like, it's. [00:13:46] Speaker A: I had issues with the corn potage. I was like. I didn't like it. [00:13:51] Speaker B: It's. I haven't had that yet. The Big Pop has three unique flavors. That's only at the Big Pop at Disneyland. The strawberry Napoleon flavor, is it Napoleon or Nepal Napoleon? Because that's one of my middle names. Neo. Neopol. I want to read as Neapolitan. Strawberry Neapolitan would make more sense, but strawberry Napoleon. [00:14:13] Speaker A: Okay. [00:14:14] Speaker B: Is that a typo? I don't know if it feels like it should be Neapolitan. I don't know. A strawberry Napoleon. Napoleon. Yeah, it says Napoleon. That's also my father's name. Salted caramel flavor. Actually, that might be. I don't think I've had that one either. Salted caramel. [00:14:36] Speaker A: I do love salted caramel. [00:14:37] Speaker B: Yeah. The cheddar cheese flavor is not good. I was disappointed with that. [00:14:42] Speaker A: Yeah. I was. I was giving that one the side. I was like. I was. [00:14:47] Speaker B: I wanted it to be good, but it wasn't. [00:14:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:51] Speaker B: Because what they had the. The Chicago mix. [00:14:57] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:14:58] Speaker B: Before it. Was the caramel and cheddar flavor together good. [00:15:01] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:01] Speaker B: Which was like. That was probably the best flavor at. [00:15:04] Speaker A: The park for sure. [00:15:06] Speaker B: And they got rid of it. Oh, maybe because no one got it. I don't know. [00:15:11] Speaker A: Maybe. And maybe people were afraid to try it because it was good. [00:15:15] Speaker B: It's a staple at Garrett's Popcorn that we have here in Japan that you can. [00:15:19] Speaker A: That's. That's also probably the other thing that you can go to, like, the famous Garrett's popcorn stores. [00:15:25] Speaker B: I'm gonna go to Gar. Popcorn tomorrow and get some. [00:15:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:15:31] Speaker B: Oh, that's so good. And then there's milk tea flavor. [00:15:35] Speaker A: Oh, that one's good. [00:15:36] Speaker B: I think that one's relatively new too. I was in the Disneyland. Disneyland list. Sometimes the parks have, like, their own unique flavors. Disney Sea looks like it has all the same ones, except. Oh, they have garlic shrimp, which I don't like. [00:15:52] Speaker A: Garlic shrimp is really good. [00:15:53] Speaker B: I don't like it. No, keep it. You can keep it. [00:15:56] Speaker A: Okay, I will keep it. I'll eat all of it. [00:15:59] Speaker B: It tastes like, like the shells of the shrimp. That's what the flavor. I get. [00:16:04] Speaker A: It tastes like the shrimp Simba. [00:16:07] Speaker B: I don't like it. [00:16:08] Speaker A: Absolutely not. [00:16:09] Speaker B: No. No. Thank you. And then they have the roast beef flavor. The, the roast beef flavor seems to be very, like, it splits people. It's controversial. [00:16:21] Speaker A: I, I don't know. I don't know how I feel. I haven't tried it. I don't know how I feel about it. [00:16:24] Speaker B: I like it. I'm in the camp that likes it. It's very salty. It's incredibly salty. [00:16:31] Speaker A: Okay. [00:16:31] Speaker B: But I do like it. It's a good, it's a good flavor. [00:16:34] Speaker A: Interesting. I, I, I would definitely try it. Like, if I was in the parks today and I saw that flavor, I would be concerned, but I would try it 100%. [00:16:44] Speaker B: No. Yeah. Give it a try. And it's not. It's a flavor that was, I guess, first only in Disney at Fantasy Springs, but it's also outside of it now. It's in front of the Liberty Landing Diner. [00:16:59] Speaker A: Okay. [00:17:00] Speaker B: So you don't have to be in Fantasy Springs if you want to try it. [00:17:03] Speaker A: All right. [00:17:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. So there you go. That's popcorn. [00:17:08] Speaker A: Like, popcorn is a thing. Like, a lot of the snacks, we tend to, like, do the seasonal stuff, but popcorn is one of those things that 100% we will buy no matter what. Whether it's like a classic flavor like black pepper or honey, or, you know, something like roast beef, which is new. So it's like easy to eat and easy to carry, and it's really, really yummy. [00:17:35] Speaker B: No, I agree 100%. And a box of popcorn is only 400 yen. True. [00:17:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Weren't they 310 for long? [00:17:43] Speaker B: I feel like, no. [00:17:45] Speaker A: When you said 400 yen, I'm like, oh, that's still a good price because I don't know, in my imagination, it's much more expensive because everything has gone up so much. So that's a really, really decent price. [00:17:56] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it used, like, a few years ago, it was 310. [00:18:00] Speaker A: Oh, it was? Yeah, it was way cheaper, but it was way cheaper. But 400 is not bad. [00:18:04] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:05] Speaker A: I mean, especially for a theme park. [00:18:07] Speaker B: Also, 310 was just a weird number, especially when, like, when everything was cash only. Remember? It was like, oh, here's 300 yen, three 100 yen coins and then a 10 yen coin. Yeah. Weird denomination for whatever reason. [00:18:22] Speaker A: True. [00:18:25] Speaker B: The gyoza dog. I love the gyoza dog. [00:18:27] Speaker A: The gizzard dog is good. I don't usually buy it unless we are drinking a beer or something. You know what I miss? Speaking of, like, like, snack stuff. The frozen beer that they used to have. [00:18:41] Speaker B: Oh, yes. [00:18:43] Speaker A: That was so good. [00:18:44] Speaker B: Was it Keating? It was Keating. [00:18:46] Speaker A: I think so. [00:18:47] Speaker B: Yeah. They don't do that anymore. That was really. [00:18:49] Speaker A: Not for years, right? [00:18:50] Speaker B: Summer. Yeah. In summer. [00:18:52] Speaker A: Yeah. That. With a gyoza dog or a black pepper popcorn. Chef's kiss. [00:18:58] Speaker B: So good. [00:18:58] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:18:59] Speaker B: But the. The current Yoza dog is the same, but they've had it for years. It's really good. It's. It's basically a small meal, so I don't have it all the time because I'm usually eating other things. [00:19:10] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. [00:19:11] Speaker B: It's not. It's kind of a heavy snack. Like, you can easily have it as a meal, like a small meal, because it's very bread heavy. [00:19:19] Speaker A: You know, we were talking about pricing, and I feel like this one, the price has gone up a little bit more than it's worth. [00:19:27] Speaker B: What is it cost? Let me look. I'm gonna look it up right now. I don't know what it costs now. [00:19:32] Speaker A: Because I think it significantly went up because last time we were there, I was like, that's how much it goes to cost. I'm like, are you serious? [00:19:39] Speaker B: Is that Nautilus galley, right? [00:19:41] Speaker A: For sure. [00:19:42] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. 600 yen. Oh, yeah. Like 400. [00:19:49] Speaker A: It used to be, like, cheaper. Yeah, like 600 yen. I'm like, oh, that's a lot. Yeah, that's a lot. [00:19:57] Speaker B: For those that don't know. So gyoza is a dumpling. Usually they're very small, little. [00:20:04] Speaker A: But this is not gyoza, though. This is like more of like a Nikoman. That's long. [00:20:09] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So like. So gyoza typically is like a small little dumpling, or I guess. What do they call the U.S. they call them pot stickers, I think. [00:20:17] Speaker A: Pot stickers or dumplings. [00:20:20] Speaker B: Yeah, so, like, little dumplings. And they'll have, like, vegetables and pork inside. So the gyoza sausage bun is what it's kind of, I guess, what it's officially called in English now, since they translate into English now we have English names before. I was just like, whatever you want to call it. Gyoza sausage bun. So they took a steam. It's basically a steam bun. Like you said, Steam buns are very popular in, like, not just Japan, but Asia. Steamed bun. And it's long. Like, it's long and cylindrical. And the Filling is typical gyoza filling. So vegetables and pork very heavy on the breading. So that's why it's very filling. I miss when they did the Halloween variations. Remember when they do that? [00:21:08] Speaker A: That was 100% worth it. It was so good. [00:21:12] Speaker B: Cause they would add like, they would add something spicy to it. Like they would add chili oil or something into it, which was always really nice. [00:21:17] Speaker A: I would happily pay the whatever price for that one. Cause it was really yummy. And I think it was black colored, which I love black colored food. [00:21:25] Speaker B: Like they had one one year it was like Ursula themed, I think. And it was just completely black. Yes, there was one that one year it was completely black, but they had like a little pumpkin on it. And the pumpkin. The pumpkin, I think had the sweet chili inside of it or something. [00:21:39] Speaker A: For sure. So cute. [00:21:41] Speaker B: And then they did something else with it was. It was part of me. It was meant to look like Cruella deville's hair. So one side was black, one side was white. Yeah, I remember that too. Yeah. It was just fun. They haven't done that in a few years. Hopefully they bring that back at some point because I would love that. [00:21:58] Speaker A: Me too. [00:21:59] Speaker B: Yeah. That's only at Disney Sea and it's only at the Nautilus Galley. It's the only place you can get it. It's. Yeah. It's one of those quintessential. You need to get it. You may. You may not like it. You may like it. You know, I've talked to people that love it. I talked to people that hated it. Never gonna know unless you try. [00:22:17] Speaker A: And you know, like, the atmosphere of where they sell it is just really good. Eating it there at that location is really nice. [00:22:25] Speaker B: You get to see the Nautilus and you're in the Cirrus island going up. Yeah. And you're like, you're at water level. Because when you walk into Mysterious island, you're above water level. And then like the restaurant with like outdoor seating area. Yeah, it's at water level. And it's, it's. The ambiance is good. The vibes are good. As the kids would say goodbyes. Green alien mochi. I know we've talked about this to death. [00:22:56] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:22:57] Speaker B: It's worth mentioning because like, I, I would argue, like, this is probably one of. Or the most iconic snack we have. [00:23:07] Speaker A: 100%. [00:23:08] Speaker B: Like, it's instantly recognizable people. Like, if you spent any time on the Internet, you would have seen this. Like, there's no way you would not have seen this little Green alien mochi. It's at both parks. They're little dumplings, sweet dumplings that are made out of pounded mochi, which is like a pounded rice cake. So the outside is mochi and they're colored green and they have little faces on them. They look like little green aliens. And there's three of them that come in the. When you buy it. And one is strawberry flavor cream inside, one is chocolate cream, and the other one is custard. Please do not say vanilla, because it is. It is not vanilla. It's custard. Yes, I know there is vanilla custard, but it is not that. It is just custard. [00:23:55] Speaker A: I feel like you have to buy this if you come here because not only is it good, and not only is it very visually appealing, but it's also like a Japanese style sweet, you know, which is really cool. [00:24:09] Speaker B: It hits all the notes like it's. It like, I can't think of a more perfect snack that just like sums up Tokyo Disney. [00:24:19] Speaker A: But you want to know something funny? We never buy it, actually. We only buy it when, like, it's new. Like if it's like a new flavor or like a new flavor. [00:24:29] Speaker B: No, that's fair. [00:24:29] Speaker A: I get that. And it's really good. I don't know why we don't buy it more. Maybe. I don't know, maybe it's a location or something. Because it is really good. [00:24:37] Speaker B: Here's what you do. [00:24:38] Speaker A: Okay. [00:24:39] Speaker B: Because this is what I do. You buy them through the online store frozen and just have them in your freezer whenever you want. I bought. Oh my God. I bought. I bought the box of them. It's 4,500 yen. I bought a box of them and they're sitting in my freezer. So I have, like, I've been having, I think twice a week, I've been eating them. [00:25:02] Speaker A: No, there's. [00:25:04] Speaker B: I love them so much. [00:25:06] Speaker A: They would bring joy to your week. I can definitely see that it's for sure. [00:25:11] Speaker B: And when you buy them from the online store, like, they come in frozen pack. Like it's a frozen package, of course. And there's three in each package. I think I got 10 packages or something. I don't know. There was eight, 10. I don't remember. It was 4,500, 100 yen. It wasn't cheap, but it also comes with little paper cups that look exactly like the. [00:25:33] Speaker A: The design. Oh, that's a nice touch. Yeah. [00:25:36] Speaker B: So it's like, oh, like I'll. I'll unthaw them and then I'll Put them in the little cup, and I'm like, oh, it's like, I'm at the park. It's fun. [00:25:43] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:25:44] Speaker B: Yeah. I do miss when they would do. I hope they start doing these again when they start having the special flavored ones. [00:25:50] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:25:51] Speaker B: Because they've done. Over the years, they've done so many, like, I think during the Pixar play time that. Oh, goodness of game flashbacks, that event that they never should have had a Disney sea. [00:26:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:08] Speaker B: Never should have been a Disney seat. But. But the little Pixar ball mochi was really good because I think it was lemon flavored. Like, lemon cream. [00:26:18] Speaker A: Yeah, that's a good flavor. [00:26:20] Speaker B: It was really good. Then they had the Stormtrooper ones for a while. Then they had the Darth Vader one as well. [00:26:29] Speaker A: Yes. [00:26:31] Speaker B: Probably my favorite was Scrump. [00:26:33] Speaker A: Remember the Scrumptious Grump was so cute. [00:26:36] Speaker B: They kept those for so long, and then they just disappeared. [00:26:40] Speaker A: You know what they should do? Like. Like a country bears. You know, like the three bears that sing. [00:26:46] Speaker B: That would be really, like a savory one. Because they did savory ones. Remember those? [00:26:50] Speaker A: Oh, that would be so. Yes, yes, yes. Like the Beauty and the Beast or something. Right? [00:26:54] Speaker B: Yeah. They're being. It was Beauty and the Beast. I never had them. [00:26:58] Speaker A: We did have them. [00:26:59] Speaker B: I never. [00:27:00] Speaker A: Okay. [00:27:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:03] Speaker A: The hotel room, and we're like, huh. Okay. [00:27:06] Speaker B: Well, yeah, it was during COVID and it was just one of those things where it's like, it was hard to get tickets, and it's just, you know, one of those things I just never really thought to do. I kind of regret not trying because I would have loved to have tried them. [00:27:20] Speaker A: They're good. [00:27:22] Speaker B: Yeah. The Scrump ones, if I remember. It's on our website because I know we talked about it. I think it was like, coconut, maybe banana. I'm gonna Google this right now. Scrumptious. [00:27:35] Speaker A: But they were real. Those are, I think, my favorite. Like. Like, the design was all right, but, like, the flavors were my favorite flavors. [00:27:42] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Okay. Yeah. So this article is on our website, is from August 2015. [00:27:49] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. It's so long ago. [00:27:51] Speaker B: Yeah. The scrumplings. Oh, my goodness. And they had a little pick. That was Scrump's hair. [00:27:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:59] Speaker B: Okay. 1. It was sweet potato. Purple sweet potato. I remember purple sweet potato. Mango and banana. [00:28:06] Speaker A: And banana. [00:28:08] Speaker B: I miss. I miss those so much. I wish I would bring those back. I'm looking at these photos and I'm. [00:28:17] Speaker A: Thinking I'm like, oh, man, that'd be really good. [00:28:22] Speaker B: Yeah. If you're listening to this, if you Google TDR Explorer. Scrumptious. That'll. It'll come up. Oh, I want them. But the green mochi, it's a staple. They've been around for a very long time. I don't think. I don't think, knock on wood, they're not going to get rid of them anytime soon. [00:28:42] Speaker A: No, they're way too popular. [00:28:45] Speaker B: It's just. Yeah, it's one of those things. It's just. I don't think, at this point, I don't think you can get rid of them. [00:28:50] Speaker A: And they're iconic, you know, they're. [00:28:52] Speaker B: They're very iconic. Yeah. [00:28:54] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. [00:28:58] Speaker B: Mike. Melon bread. I like it. Do you like it? [00:29:03] Speaker A: I feel like there's so many good, like, really good melon bread shops in the city. Yeah, it's definitely not amazing. [00:29:11] Speaker B: It's not amazing. If you want to compare to other, like, melon bread from other places. Definitely not. It's very fun. And I like that what they did because they changed it probably last year or two, they added melon cream inside of it, which was a nice touch, I think. [00:29:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:29] Speaker B: It needed something. [00:29:31] Speaker A: The design is adorable. And if you're visiting the parks again just for the design and it is melon bread, you can't go wrong with melon bread. It's real, it's good. But there's so much good melon bread in the city that for me, I usually don't get it. [00:29:48] Speaker B: I mean, if you like melon bread, give it like. Or if you're curious as to what it tastes like, try it. [00:29:53] Speaker A: It's really good. It's Disney melon bread, you know. [00:29:55] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, it's, it's. And it's green on the outside and Mike Wazowski's green. It just, it just works so well together. [00:30:02] Speaker A: Right. [00:30:03] Speaker B: It's just so good. [00:30:04] Speaker A: And the funny thing is, like, the one thing we do get in the bakery if we're like there in the morning is it's really boring looking, but I really like it. The Mickey shaped. It's kind of like a thin, shaped, like muffin. [00:30:19] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:30:21] Speaker A: Like, I really like those. Even though they're not like super cute or anything. [00:30:26] Speaker B: Yeah, they're kind of. They're just kind of there. [00:30:28] Speaker A: They're kind of there. Exactly. But that's kind of always getting that. [00:30:32] Speaker B: Which is not bad. Like, there's nothing wrong with that. [00:30:34] Speaker A: Like, with a black coffee, it's like really good. [00:30:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Sometimes you know, something understated is fine. Not everything needs to be like over the top kind of thing. [00:30:43] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:30:44] Speaker B: Mike. Melon bread. Both parks have it. I think it's a sweet Sweetheart cafe and Mama Biscotti's at Disney for sure. Yeah. So give it a try. It's good. Melon bread is a popular type of bread in Japan. Kids eat it. A lot of kids eat it. [00:31:02] Speaker A: Oh, for sure. [00:31:03] Speaker B: Just like you said, Patricia. You can find it. You can find it anywhere. Go to the convenience store. It's there. Go to a bakery. [00:31:09] Speaker A: But like, don't get it at the convenience store. Go to a bakery, get like really good melon bread. [00:31:14] Speaker B: Where would you go? [00:31:16] Speaker A: I would go. So I like the melon bread at Little by Little. Oh my God. It's on Symbol Road in Shinurayasu. And they had like this cherry blossom one which was so freaking good. And theirs is like very fluffy. But then if you go to Tokyo, what is the place that's famous for Monja? What is it called? [00:31:37] Speaker B: Oh, I don't know. [00:31:39] Speaker A: There's an area of Tokyo that's like famous for Monja and they have like this freaking fantastic melon bread. It's like a stall and it's fresh and it is amazing. It's like to die for. It's so, so good. I'll try to remember what the name of the area is, but freaking amazing. [00:32:02] Speaker B: Whenever you remember, let me know. [00:32:04] Speaker A: Yeah. Sorry. [00:32:05] Speaker B: It's okay. It's fine. Say it again. [00:32:10] Speaker A: Sukishima. [00:32:11] Speaker B: Sukushima. [00:32:13] Speaker A: Like Suki. Like. [00:32:15] Speaker B: Oh, Suki. Suki. Yeah. [00:32:17] Speaker A: Where they make all. It's like the Monja district. [00:32:20] Speaker B: Ah, okay, okay, okay. [00:32:22] Speaker A: And there's like a really good melon bread shop there. [00:32:26] Speaker B: Sukishima. [00:32:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:32:30] Speaker B: Okay, you're probably gonna laugh at me for this one. The Mickey chicken nuggets are fun. Okay. [00:32:37] Speaker A: They're. [00:32:38] Speaker B: They're not good. [00:32:39] Speaker A: I'll tell you what. [00:32:40] Speaker B: But they're fine. [00:32:41] Speaker A: I'll tell you what. We have bought it more times than I can count because children freaking love it and they will eat it and they will eat it on the go and that's why we have bought it. I would not buy it for myself, but for like if the kids gotta eat and we're in a hurry and we're go, go, go, and they love it. [00:33:04] Speaker B: So yes, they're nothing special. They're chicken nuggets. There's nothing special, but they are Mickey shaped and I think that's fun. I like that. It's fun. But yeah, they're chicken nuggets. There's not much else to say about them. [00:33:19] Speaker A: And they're kind of bland. Chicken nuggets. [00:33:21] Speaker B: Yeah. You can ask for ketchup. [00:33:22] Speaker A: There's not a lot of flavor there. [00:33:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, how come, like, out of all the things, like, I feel like almost everything on this list, they've done, like some sort of variation of it, like for a special time. Like, why don't, like, why not something special for the chicken nuggets? [00:33:36] Speaker A: Are you thinking they would sell it, like a special sauce or something? [00:33:39] Speaker B: Yeah, you know. Oh, my goodness. They would make a killing if they just, like, had specialty sauces. [00:33:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:33:45] Speaker B: Could you imagine? [00:33:46] Speaker A: Like, I feel like people would pay extra for that. For sure. I would, I would. [00:33:50] Speaker B: Like, I, I, I go out of my way to go to McDonald's here when they have a new, when they have a new chicken nugget dipping sauce. [00:33:58] Speaker A: Yeah, that's true. [00:34:00] Speaker B: I know the market. [00:34:01] Speaker A: I'll tell you what, their dipping sauces are fun. [00:34:04] Speaker B: My recent favorite one at not Disney, at McDonald's here, it's gone now. It was Shichimi. Shichimi tartar sauce or something like the seven spicy. Oh, seven spices, yuzu, mayonnaise, dipping sauce. [00:34:21] Speaker A: What? So it was like a, that sounds interesting. [00:34:26] Speaker B: It was so good. I'm like, oh, please never go away. But it did. [00:34:32] Speaker A: Because of course, of course, of course they do. But they come out with really good sauces and then it's gone like before, you know? [00:34:38] Speaker B: Yeah, they did like a spicy cheese at some point. Yeah. Disney. What are you like, hello, Tokyo Disney? Please do that. I would. People would love that. [00:34:46] Speaker A: They would. People would buy. I bet you people, I pay you, the chicken nugget sales would go up. [00:34:51] Speaker B: Partners. I don't know, partner with McDonald's or something. Figure it out. Or like, because, like, Burger King here, we're, we're getting into deep fast food in Japan here at Burger King here, they do these, like, cheese nuggets. So it's like there's cheese inside the nuggets. I don't know. Do something like that. Something. [00:35:12] Speaker A: Yeah, they could. That's true. [00:35:14] Speaker B: Come on, give us something for the. [00:35:16] Speaker A: Nuggets and also have it Mickey shaped. [00:35:18] Speaker B: Yeah, do that. [00:35:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:22] Speaker B: I'm just kind of, I'm just rattling through the list here. [00:35:25] Speaker A: Okay, okay. [00:35:26] Speaker B: We mentioned this last episode. I'm gonna mention again the Donald Duck ice dessert that looks like his bill. It's new. It's a new dessert. It's really good. It's very simple. It's mango. It's an ice bar that looks like his bill. It tastes like mango. It's not super sweet. It is quite good. I think it's only at Disneyland, I think. [00:35:47] Speaker A: Yeah, maybe. [00:35:49] Speaker B: But it's new, and I think it's going to be around for a while. So give it a try next time because it's really good. [00:35:56] Speaker A: Should we go through all, like, the ice cream, like, the Mickey and Minnie while we're on? [00:36:01] Speaker B: The Mickey Minnie ice bars. Those are iconic. [00:36:05] Speaker A: Yeah, Those have been around since a long time. They're so cute. [00:36:09] Speaker B: And they look. [00:36:10] Speaker A: You can't go wrong with it. [00:36:12] Speaker B: And it looks like them. It's not just, like, the shape. Like, it's not just the outline. It's like. No, it's the mold of their face. [00:36:17] Speaker A: It's like the full face. And it looks really cute. And the colors are cute and the flavor is good. [00:36:24] Speaker B: I love it. Mickey's Tropical Fruits. And then Minnie is what? Raspberry. Ed. Raspberry is something peach. I want to say raspberry and peach. [00:36:36] Speaker A: Some kind of berry flavor. I don't even care because it just tastes like icicle. [00:36:41] Speaker B: My only issue with those things is in the middle of summer, you have to eat them quick. [00:36:48] Speaker A: Yeah. They'll melt so fast. So I. [00:36:51] Speaker B: And they're sticky. They're. They're the stickiest ice cream known to man. Once they get on your hands, like, you're done. [00:36:59] Speaker A: Forget it. [00:37:00] Speaker B: Yeah, you're done. Like, do not get it on your clothes. I tell you from experience, it's not great. [00:37:06] Speaker A: I miss. There's two ice creams that I miss. One is the Mickey ice cream sandwich. [00:37:15] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, that's gone. We found that out the hard way because we're doing research for the book. Like, wait, is this gone? [00:37:22] Speaker A: I'm so sad. RIP. [00:37:26] Speaker B: Well, they add, there's a tiramisu. [00:37:29] Speaker A: It's not the same. It's not the same. They always, like, they always send you towards the tiramisu. And I'm like, I don't want the tiramisu. [00:37:34] Speaker B: I know why. [00:37:35] Speaker A: If I want tiramisu, I'll eat real tiramisu. I don't want a tiramisu ice cream bar. I don't care about that. [00:37:40] Speaker B: What is Japan's obsession with tiramisu? I don't get. [00:37:42] Speaker A: It is really good. I mean, like, to be fair, but, like, I want real tiramisu. I don't want, like, not. [00:37:49] Speaker B: Not on the sandwich. [00:37:50] Speaker A: No. Well, the other thing I miss was when they, you know, I used to come and I guess this is not friendly for the environment. But like, they used to have like in a little seashell case, the sea salt ice cream. And I really like that. [00:38:02] Speaker B: Oh, those are good too. [00:38:03] Speaker A: It was really good. I was gonna say I see salt ice cream, though. So it's like, not a big lost, I guess. [00:38:09] Speaker B: Well, like, the selling point is it like, it's in monaka, the wafer, and it's in a shell. [00:38:13] Speaker A: It was before the monaka. It was like in a case. [00:38:17] Speaker B: That's cute. [00:38:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:38:20] Speaker B: Yeah. The monaka is really nice. For those that don't know, monoka is like a wafer. It's a solid ice cream in Japan. Like, you can find it anywhere. Like, go to the convenience store. They're. They're pretty, like, common. But the one at Disneysea is shaped like a seashell, pink seashell. And it's sea salt ice cream on the inside with raspberry jam or sauce inside of it. [00:38:41] Speaker A: It's really good. [00:38:42] Speaker B: It's really good. Yeah. It's one of those that's been around forever. [00:38:45] Speaker A: And again, it's a very like, Japan type of sweet. So if you want like a Japanese take on ice cream. It's really nice. [00:38:50] Speaker B: I was gonna say, going back to the ice cream sandwich, did you grow up eating them? [00:38:55] Speaker A: Which one? [00:38:56] Speaker B: As a kid? Yes, the ice cream sandwiches. Okay. Me too. [00:38:59] Speaker A: I did. [00:38:59] Speaker B: I remember like, like whenever we go to like grandma's house or something. [00:39:03] Speaker A: Yes. [00:39:03] Speaker B: She'd always say, like, yeah, you can go get ice cream from the freezer. And it's like, can we have an ice cream sandwich? Like, yeah, you can. But like, it was always the same. I don't know if it was the same for you, but for us it was like in Canada you'd like peel like peel it out of the, like the waxy paper. [00:39:21] Speaker A: It's like an ordeal. You have to. Very carefully. [00:39:24] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. Otherwise, like half of it is like stuck to the paper. [00:39:28] Speaker A: And then you had to eat it quick because it'll stick to your fingers. [00:39:30] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm glad we had the same experience. [00:39:33] Speaker A: Yes. And like our friend, the ice cream man. And it was really cheap from the ice cream man. Okay. I guess, like, this is. My elderliness is going to come out. Like, what was it? Like a few, like, like What? Like, like 30 cents or 40 cents or something? [00:39:48] Speaker B: Yeah, they were cheap, I remember. Yeah. [00:39:49] Speaker A: Super cheap. Yeah. [00:39:53] Speaker B: Yeah. That's kind of what the. The ice. The former ice cream sandwich we had here kind of reminded me of. [00:39:58] Speaker A: It did. Yeah. Like more cookie ish. But it was, you know. [00:40:01] Speaker B: Yeah. The cookies. It was. It was good. I'm glad. [00:40:03] Speaker A: It was really good. [00:40:03] Speaker B: I'm sad it's gone. Yeah. [00:40:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:05] Speaker B: What other ice creams are there? [00:40:07] Speaker A: Oh, my God. The Critter Country Sunday. [00:40:10] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. That's. Oh, that's so good. You gotta have so good. [00:40:14] Speaker A: I love it. That's like the best in Critter country, you know? [00:40:18] Speaker B: That's the best. Out of all. Out of everything. It's so good. Love it. Critter Sunday. And I love that they change it out every season, too. Yes or no? I think it's only Halloween, actually. [00:40:32] Speaker A: Is it? [00:40:32] Speaker B: I think it's only Halloween. They change it out. [00:40:34] Speaker A: Okay. [00:40:35] Speaker B: With the pumpkin soft serve. True pumpkin soft serve. Like, mess up with that. [00:40:42] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:40:44] Speaker B: Do you remember? I think, yeah, they stopped doing this. Remember when they did the cheese sundae? The cheese ice cream sundae? [00:40:51] Speaker A: Yes, I do. [00:40:52] Speaker B: That was. I think it was a Korean trend. Was that from Korea? I think. Yeah, I think it was. I think it was during the 40th anniversary they did that. That was so good. Yeah, it's gone. [00:41:05] Speaker A: Like, I feel like you can, you know, like, I feel like we're both very passionate about this and I feel like you can't go wrong with ice cream at Disney. [00:41:12] Speaker B: No, there is a. I opened it up twice. The cookies. Oh, I guess this is not ice cream. The cookie sandwich. The. The Duffy cookie sandwich with caramel cream. [00:41:27] Speaker A: Oh, I haven't tried that. [00:41:29] Speaker B: It's new. It's relatively new. It's not brand new. It's been out for a little bit. It's not. It's not ice cream, but it's, you know, it's a. It's a cookie sandwich with caramel cream in it. It's very creamy. It's. It's. It's nice. It's a nice. [00:41:43] Speaker A: I like caramel. [00:41:43] Speaker B: Inoffensive flavor. But also you can buy a souvenir case that looks exactly like the cookie, which I think is funny. [00:41:52] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Can we have a moment of silence for the gelato place at disneysea? [00:41:57] Speaker B: Yes. [00:42:03] Speaker A: Always. Always go. Always. It was. [00:42:06] Speaker B: They changed it, didn't they? [00:42:08] Speaker A: Yeah, they took it out. [00:42:10] Speaker B: Now it's just. What is it now? [00:42:12] Speaker A: I don't know, like random stuff. Snacks or something. [00:42:15] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah, you're right. [00:42:17] Speaker A: It was so, so good. [00:42:19] Speaker B: It was really good. Yeah, I do. I do like going to ice cream cones at Disneyland. The ice cream, they have, like, just regular ice cream stuff, which is always really nice. Yeah. I'm more like if I was to choose an ice Cream. I would always go with something with soft serve. I'm all. I'm a soft serve person. Like, give me soft serve. [00:42:41] Speaker A: Soft serve is really good. [00:42:43] Speaker B: Actually, I had soft serve at IKEA today. [00:42:47] Speaker A: But you know what's better is gelato Disney. [00:42:51] Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, Yeah. [00:42:54] Speaker A: A soft serve is amazing. And I love how, like, it's. I know this, like, maybe outside of the Disney topic, but I love how, like, you go around Japan and there's so many different flavors of soft syrup. The most insanity flavors. Yeah. [00:43:10] Speaker B: There was a corn flavor. I saw. There's corn flavor. Corn, corn potage, I suppose. Sweet potato. [00:43:19] Speaker A: Sweet potato. Classic Matcha's also classic Matcha's classic. It's kind of cliche. The worst one I've had. And I was like, well, I'll try it. Was shirasu, like the little fishes. [00:43:33] Speaker B: Oh, no. Oh, absolutely. What is wrong with you? [00:43:35] Speaker A: I was like, at some kind of aquarium and they had it. I'm like, well, why not? I've never tried that before. It was not good. [00:43:43] Speaker B: I don't imagine it would be. [00:43:46] Speaker A: I'm okay with it. Fresh, but not on ice cream, apparently. So that was not great. [00:43:52] Speaker B: Absolutely not. Absolutely not. No. [00:43:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:59] Speaker B: No, absolutely. [00:44:01] Speaker A: But you won't find that at Disney. Disney has really yummy sauce. [00:44:06] Speaker B: Yeah, don't worry about that. Pumpkin is good. Yeah, the pumpkin's good. Pumpkin I like. Disney doesn't have this. And I wish they did, because if they did, I'd have it every time I go. But anytime I pass any other place in Japan and I see that they have black sesame soft serve, I have to stop and have it. [00:44:25] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:25] Speaker B: Because I love black sesame soft serve. It is so good. Because it's not sweet. No, it's kind of like it's a nutty. Has like a nutty flavor and it's a little gritty. [00:44:36] Speaker A: Yeah. And you know what's kind of like, adjacent to that would be, like, kinako sausage. [00:44:40] Speaker B: I love kinako as well. [00:44:42] Speaker A: Yes. [00:44:43] Speaker B: So good. [00:44:44] Speaker A: Oh, my God. They could do, like. They could double it. Like half sesame, half kinako. [00:44:48] Speaker B: Yo. How can we have, like, have we had black ice cream at Disneyland? [00:44:52] Speaker A: I feel like we. Oh, no, I don't. I want to say, like, they have a lot of black colored food for, like, Halloween, but I don't think we have ice cream. [00:45:01] Speaker B: Like, they could do a black sesame something like. I don't make it Ursula themed. [00:45:05] Speaker A: Yes. [00:45:06] Speaker B: Or give us, like a sweet purple. Like, sweet purple potato ice cream. You know, give us, like, something like that. Christmas, I guess, could be green Like a pistachio. [00:45:17] Speaker A: Wait, do we have pistachios popular right now? [00:45:20] Speaker B: Do we have pistachio ice cream? I feel like that would be a flavor, a flavor they would have liked. [00:45:26] Speaker A: I feel like they might not soft serve, but, like, in the. You can scoop it. [00:45:29] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's a scoop. I think they have pistachio because that's kind of common here. [00:45:33] Speaker A: Yeah, they used to have it in the gelato section. [00:45:37] Speaker B: Yeah, they did. You're right. Oh, man. [00:45:41] Speaker A: But, yeah, like, Matcha's good. There's so many good flavors. Oh, you know, what is the one? Is it Zunda? The one that's, like the kind of, like, beans? [00:45:54] Speaker B: Oh, I don't know. [00:45:55] Speaker A: It's really good, but it's not super sweet. It's like a kind of unique flavor. [00:46:03] Speaker B: Do you remember? I think. I think places still do this. This is not Disney, but I remember when the Gold Flake ice cream was, like, a big trend. [00:46:12] Speaker A: Yes. [00:46:14] Speaker B: I think some places still do it. [00:46:16] Speaker A: I think so. But, like, there was, like, one year in particular where it was like, gold ice cream. [00:46:23] Speaker B: Get gold ice cream. And they literally had, like, gold paper, whatever, editable paper. [00:46:29] Speaker A: You can buy it at, like, the department store and you can make it. [00:46:32] Speaker B: Just make it home. You know what I should do? I should go buy some and then wrap my green alien mochi in them. [00:46:39] Speaker A: Oh, my God. You should. You should do it. Yes. [00:46:44] Speaker B: That'd be fun. [00:46:45] Speaker A: That's a project for this week. [00:46:46] Speaker B: I should do. Oh, I'm gonna do that. I am so gonna do that. [00:46:50] Speaker A: Yes. [00:46:52] Speaker B: I love food in this country. [00:46:54] Speaker A: It's really good. Like, that's one of the best parts of living here is the food. [00:46:57] Speaker B: I know. The food is so good. Like, just Japan and food, like, come on. Like, the. I guess, like, for Tokyo Disney, the. The food culture of Japan is very evident in how they prepare, like, how they decide what to serve at the parks here. Like, it's very evident as to what happens with all this stuff. Drinks. Well, I guess you already know what I'm gonna say. [00:47:22] Speaker A: Wait, No, I don't. Wait, wait, everyone. Oh, okay. No, I do know. [00:47:27] Speaker B: Okay, okay. Well, let's just get out of the way. Apple tea soda. I'm an apple tea soda. I like. I. It's been around forever, and I've talked about it forever, but for whatever reason, the last maybe year. Everyone, though, I guess, you know, there's a lot more people coming to Toky Disney now, which is great. Everyone is trying apple tea soda because I tell them to, and people keep Tagging me on Instagram, which I love, by the way. If you have it, please take a picture, like, take a selfie, whatever. Tag me on Instagram. [00:48:00] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:48:01] Speaker B: Hopefully I will see it and I will try and repost it. I love it. Like, every day I wake up and there's like five people have tried it and they're posting like, they're sharing it and stuff. I love it. So if someone from Tokyo Disney is wondering, like, oh, we're selling record numbers of apple cheese soda, you're welcome. That was me. I could drink that stuff every day, actually. [00:48:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:48:28] Speaker B: So the closest thing outside the parks with apple tea soda, because apple tea soda is unique to Tokyo Disney, you can't buy it anywhere else. [00:48:36] Speaker A: Could you just make it, like, if you buy like apple tea and like sparkling water or something, you could try. [00:48:42] Speaker B: But I'm not about to do that. But the closest thing that I have found that from, like, for me personally, is the apple soda from Muji. Oh, it's just, it's just missing the, the. The tea flavor. But the, the carbonation and the, the slight sweetness from the apple is there. So it tastes very close to it. Just minus the tea. Because there's a lot of apple flavored sodas out there. Like, there's apple squash and apple this, apple that. But I feel like it's too sweet or too forward with the apple. Doesn't taste quite the same. So the Muji, the one from Muji. Muji's all over Japan. You can find them any, pretty much anywhere in the food section. They will have apple soda in the little tin can. It's really good. It's the closest thing outside the parks. Do you remember when they sold apple tea soda for a limited time outside the parks? It was a Christmas special thing. [00:49:40] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:49:41] Speaker B: It was sold in bottles and it was sold at grocery stores everywhere. You could buy it. Like, I kid you not. I bought them by the palette because I could. I would go to like, I think a Gyomu Super. The cheap grocery store, I think they had like, you can buy cases of them. And I was doing that because I'm. [00:49:59] Speaker A: Like, oh, my gosh. [00:50:01] Speaker B: But it was from like 2014 to 2016 or something. They did that and then they just stopped. But like, it was promoted. Like, this is a drink from Tokyo Disney and we're selling it for a limited time. So it had like special packaging that said Tokyo Disney Resort. And it had like different characters and stuff on it. Like they made a big deal out of it and then it went Away. Back into the parks. [00:50:23] Speaker A: Aw. [00:50:25] Speaker B: Are there any drinks that you like? [00:50:27] Speaker A: I'm really boring with my drinks, so I always get oolong tea or black coffee. Black iced coffee. Or if it's winter, I'll get a hot chocolate and that's it. Like the hot cocoa, which I do like their hot cocoa. And it's hard to find a similar formulation outside the park because there was a while where I tried. But, yeah, their cocoa is really good. [00:50:51] Speaker B: I don't remember. I think I'll have to give it a try next time. Well, when it's colder, it's still. It's still a little too warm, in my opinion, for it. Even though it's cooled down, it's still too warm for hot drinks like that. What was I gonna say? I was talking about. But we're talking about apple tea, so. Oh. If a restaurant doesn't have apple tea, soda. Because not all restaurants have them. I will just go with oolong tea. [00:51:19] Speaker A: Oolong tea is so good. [00:51:20] Speaker B: Like, I will get the iced tea same. Or if I'm like. If I want. I want a cold drink where I don't want just water, but I don't want soda. I get oolong tea because there's no sugar or anything. It's just. It's. It's refreshing. I like it. It is. [00:51:36] Speaker A: It's really good. Especially, like, in the summer. It's, like, really delicious. [00:51:40] Speaker B: Other drinks in the park that are, like, noteworthy, I guess they're kind of in the vending machines. Like the lemon soda, the Keating lemon. [00:51:48] Speaker A: Of course, a classic. [00:51:50] Speaker B: It's like a. It's like a kids love. It's like a. It's like a Sprite that is only lemon. [00:51:56] Speaker A: It's more lemony. [00:51:57] Speaker B: Yeah, it's. It's just lemon. Like, Sprite is lemon and lime. [00:52:00] Speaker A: Yeah. I think. [00:52:01] Speaker B: But this is just like. It's just straight up. It's just lemon. Like, it's. It's a very sweet drink, too. [00:52:05] Speaker A: And it's got tartness. Like, a really nice tartness. [00:52:08] Speaker B: Yeah. So if you want something like that, that's a good, good option. A less sweeter option that's not as carbonated is the lychee. Salty lychee. [00:52:16] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah, it's really yummy. [00:52:21] Speaker B: And. Well, and those you can find outside the parks, like, they're common everywhere. You can find them at any convenience store, any grocery store. Like, they're. It's there. [00:52:29] Speaker A: But in the parks, they have Disney characters, which is really cute. [00:52:32] Speaker B: The fun Disney characters on them. [00:52:34] Speaker A: Like an extra 100 yen or whatever. You're paying the lemon. [00:52:38] Speaker B: The Keating lemon has a Donald Duck on it. [00:52:40] Speaker A: I think it does. And then the lychee is Ariel. [00:52:44] Speaker B: Yeah, it's still Ariel. [00:52:45] Speaker A: What is a green tea is Mickey. [00:52:48] Speaker B: Yeah, it's Mickey. Yeah, I think. Yeah, I think that's the only one. [00:52:54] Speaker A: And the water bottles, I think are Donald. [00:52:58] Speaker B: I think they're all themed. I think all of them are themed. [00:53:01] Speaker A: I think so. And they're really cute. It's, like, worth it. [00:53:04] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, you know, all the other standard drinks that they have. The only thing is, like, there's no real diet drinks per se. Like, but you don't need to because. [00:53:15] Speaker A: You have oolong tea. [00:53:17] Speaker B: No. Yeah, but like, I guess compared to, like, Western countries, like, there's no Diet Coke. [00:53:23] Speaker A: Is there, like, Mets or something in the vending machines or. [00:53:26] Speaker B: No, no, there's no Mets. [00:53:28] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Then there probably not, right? Yeah, that's actually a good. [00:53:34] Speaker B: There's Coke Zero. [00:53:35] Speaker A: Good point. Yeah. There's not a lot of diet sodas here, is there? I mean, there is, but, like, not in the theme park, I guess. [00:53:43] Speaker B: And it's never called diet here. [00:53:45] Speaker A: No, it's not. [00:53:46] Speaker B: It's usually zero. [00:53:47] Speaker A: Something zero. [00:53:48] Speaker B: So we do have Coke Zero, but we don't have Diet Coke. But. [00:53:51] Speaker A: And like, the Mets line has zero sugar. [00:53:53] Speaker B: Yeah, Mets line. They'll say zero sugar in it. Yeah. [00:53:56] Speaker A: Like, they have, like, a nice lemon drink. [00:53:58] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness. I. I live for that. I like. That's like my apple tea soda. Outside the parks. [00:54:05] Speaker A: If I see it, I have to have really good. [00:54:07] Speaker B: It's really good. Yeah. It's Met zero Lemon. Lemon Carbonated drink. Yeah. Really good. Oh, my goodness. Oh, I see something in your list. The spicy chicken leg. [00:54:23] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah. The line is really long, though. [00:54:26] Speaker B: I know. They need to watch that thing. [00:54:28] Speaker A: We'll wait in line for it, for sure. [00:54:30] Speaker B: Oh, that's one I will definitely wait in line for. I do not care. I will wait. And that's only Disneysea. The chicken leg thing, right? Outside of Raging Spirits, between Raging Spirits and Indiana Jones. It's so good. It's better. The turkey leg. Don't bother with the turkey leg. No, no, don't bother. It's spicy chicken. Nothing special about the turkey leg. It's a turkey leg, which is weird because turkey isn't a thing here. So where are these turkeys coming from? Right? Are they chicken? No, I think they're turkey. [00:55:03] Speaker A: No, they're turkeys. I don't know. [00:55:05] Speaker B: I don't know, not my thing. The spicy chicken leg is perfect. It's. It's not tiny, but it's not large. Like. [00:55:12] Speaker A: Yeah, it's not too big, which is nice. [00:55:15] Speaker B: And it has some spice to it, which I'm not mad at. [00:55:17] Speaker A: True. [00:55:18] Speaker B: It's a little greasy, though. I'll. I'll. [00:55:20] Speaker A: That's my only thing. Like, I do think twice about it because I don't like messy foods, which is, like, the only reason I don't get the popsicles more often is because I don't like messy. [00:55:31] Speaker B: It is messy. [00:55:32] Speaker A: Yeah, it is. [00:55:32] Speaker B: Yeah. It's a little greasy, but it's really yummy. It's delicious. Yeah. 100%. You have to get that. [00:55:38] Speaker A: Mm. [00:55:41] Speaker B: I know you feel differently about the churros. [00:55:44] Speaker A: I like the churros. I know. I'm ashamed, but I do. Like, fine. You're. [00:55:50] Speaker B: You're left a lot. [00:55:50] Speaker A: And I should be more ashamed because I'm like, Hispanic, so I know what real churros taste like. [00:55:56] Speaker B: Like real churros. Yeah, like real proper churros. [00:56:00] Speaker A: And like, then there's like the Disney churros, which are not really. I don't classify them in the same category, to be honest. [00:56:06] Speaker B: No, that's fair. [00:56:08] Speaker A: But I like them. [00:56:10] Speaker B: I will say, like, if I had to have a churro, like, if I was forced to, I would get the cinnamon one because it's shaped like Mickey. It's the only one that's shaped like Mickey. [00:56:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:56:22] Speaker B: And it's like, I can have a couple bites. I'm like, okay, that's good enough. [00:56:25] Speaker A: You know what was the green one that they used to have? Like, it was like a bright green and it tasted like cereal. I like America. I know. This is really terrible. I know American cereal is like all sugar, but I like the American cereal flavor and it reminded me of that flavor. [00:56:42] Speaker B: Oh, I remember what you're talking about, but I don't remember what flavor it tasted like. [00:56:46] Speaker A: Like kind of like Apple Jacks or something. I think it was melon flavor. [00:56:50] Speaker B: I think you're right. Yeah. Melon flavor sounds right. [00:56:52] Speaker A: I want to say probably was, you know, or melon soda or something like that. It was really good. [00:56:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. No, I. I vaguely remember that. It was very short lived, I think. [00:57:03] Speaker A: And I like the one that they had for Christmas one year that was like chocolate that you can dip in, like the. I think it was a berry sauce. [00:57:10] Speaker B: That I didn't mind because the sauce. [00:57:13] Speaker A: Kind of like made it a little. [00:57:14] Speaker B: Softer, made it more tolerable. [00:57:17] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:57:18] Speaker B: Like, I Love like, I like the churros at Disneyland in California, especially with the different sauces. I love that. I think they're delicious. If we had that kind of level of quality here, then I would. [00:57:28] Speaker A: It would be a different story. [00:57:30] Speaker B: Yeah. Singing a different tune. But ours here, like me, for me, personally, I know some people like the creme brulee one. [00:57:38] Speaker A: I think it's still around, you know, it's kind of controversial. Like, I know a lot of people hate it. The potato churro, I really like it. [00:57:48] Speaker B: Well, it's like just like a mashed potato with demi glaze sauce, isn't it? [00:57:51] Speaker A: It is, it is. And I really like mashed potato in a stick. [00:57:55] Speaker B: I think I've had it like once or twice. I need to have it again. [00:57:58] Speaker A: But I know a lot of people really hate it. I'm sorry if I'm offending you, but I really liked it. [00:58:05] Speaker B: You're allowed to have your opinion, I think. Oh, you want another really good snack? Is. I didn't put in my list. Here is the turnover. The pizza turnover. [00:58:16] Speaker A: Oh, that's really good. Yeah. [00:58:17] Speaker B: It's only at Disney scene. It's at the. That weird walkway. It's kind of. It's easy to miss. You kind of have to walk from Mysterious Island. [00:58:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:58:29] Speaker B: To the left and then it go. Spits you out to the top of Port Discovery. Breezeway. Breezeway bites. So there's a turnover. Deep fried turnover as a chicken and mozzarella. [00:58:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:58:43] Speaker B: And it's delicious. It's very simple, but it's really good. [00:58:47] Speaker A: You know, it's like a really dumb snack, but I like it with like in the summertime with like a beer. Is the sausage on the bone? [00:58:56] Speaker B: Oh, that's really good too. [00:58:58] Speaker A: But you know, they sell it at the supermarket now. [00:59:01] Speaker B: Do they? [00:59:02] Speaker A: Yeah. So you can buy it with the bone. [00:59:06] Speaker B: Everyone always asks, like, what? Where's the bone come from? Like, I don't know, man. [00:59:11] Speaker A: I don't know why there's a bone actually. [00:59:13] Speaker B: And the bones are all like the same shape. [00:59:16] Speaker A: It's kind of creepy if you think about it. [00:59:18] Speaker B: I think it is real bone. It has to be. [00:59:21] Speaker A: I don't want to think that it's a real bone. [00:59:25] Speaker B: I don't know. There's a bone in it. It's literally a bone. That's what you hold it with. The sausage is really good. It's very tasty. [00:59:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I like the sausage. [00:59:33] Speaker B: The spices they put in it are really good for the. It's gone now, but the. For the food and wine festival they did. They had a really good version of the bone on sausage. So they had a bone and sausage in it, like, just the regular one that they have always. And it was with two meatballs, and they had. They put cheese, like. I think it was parmesan cheese on top of it and, like, a bunch of oil and spices, like, seasoning. Yeah, it was really good. It was really oily and really messy, but it was delicious. [01:00:08] Speaker A: That's, like, one that they should give you those, like, plastic gloves to eat it with. [01:00:12] Speaker B: Right? [01:00:13] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Okay. I don't think they have this anymore either, but do you remember, like, the rice ball? But it wasn't a ball. It was, like a stick. And it was wrapped with the pork. [01:00:24] Speaker B: They still have it. [01:00:26] Speaker A: Okay, that's. I love it. Add that to my list. [01:00:29] Speaker B: That's also really good, too. Yeah. [01:00:30] Speaker A: Yeah, it's so good. It is so freaking good. [01:00:33] Speaker B: Pork, rice roll. Yeah. They also did a variation, I think was. I can't remember if it was the. The. If it was the Food and Wine festival here at DisneySea or if it was like a different event. I don't remember. But they. They put some sort of sauce on it. [01:00:49] Speaker A: It doesn't need sauce. [01:00:51] Speaker B: Yeah, they put sauce on it, which. Why not? [01:00:54] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:00:54] Speaker B: But you know what? [01:00:55] Speaker A: Put a sauce on anything you. You know. Yeah, I'm gonna love it. [01:01:02] Speaker B: Oh, the other thing. I think it's gone now. The cheesy potatoes that they had at Hudson River Harvest. [01:01:10] Speaker A: Oh, that sounds like it would be good. I don't think I've tried those. [01:01:13] Speaker B: I think it's gone. [01:01:15] Speaker A: Rip those. And rip the gobo sticks at the Italian restaurant, which I'm obsessed with, and I love them. You can buy them at other places in the city, and you could probably make them yourself at home. It's probably not too difficult, but I freaking love them. Okay. When you're in a bar in the city, see if you can find it. It's so good. [01:01:40] Speaker B: Yeah, the Hudson River Harvest got rid of it. I'm so sad. Oh. Oh, hello. What? This is news to me. Completely aside. So you know how we always say, oh, this looks really good too. Sorry, I'm getting really distracted here. [01:02:02] Speaker A: This is a dangerous episode. [01:02:03] Speaker B: How we say, toky, Disney never really has anything for breakfast, which is true. [01:02:08] Speaker A: I mean, it's like the bread shop is the breakfast. And they used to have. They used to have pancakes, like, at the. [01:02:15] Speaker B: Yeah, they did. [01:02:16] Speaker A: At the restaurant World Bazaar. Yeah. And it was really good. And then they stopped doing that. [01:02:23] Speaker B: So, like, yeah, breakfast, like, Breakfast foods that we think of in the west is really not that common in the parks, but at Hudson River Harvest. This is new. I didn't realize this. [01:02:33] Speaker A: Wow. What is it? [01:02:34] Speaker B: Only. It's only available from opening time until 10:30am yeah, it's a baked Danish sandwich with bacon, egg and cheese. [01:02:43] Speaker A: Oh, wow. What? [01:02:44] Speaker B: That? Yeah, it just start. Yeah, this is new. It started in October. [01:02:49] Speaker A: Okay. I want to try that. [01:02:50] Speaker B: It's only going until December. There we go. [01:02:52] Speaker A: Shut up. It sounds really good. [01:02:55] Speaker B: I want to try that. [01:02:56] Speaker A: I want to try that, too. [01:02:57] Speaker B: I want to. I'm writing this down. I got my pen out. I am writing this down. Yes, please, River. See, we. We're learning things even as we're recording. [01:03:07] Speaker A: No, that sounds really yummy. [01:03:09] Speaker B: It does. Danish breakfast till 10:30. Okay, good. Okay. [01:03:17] Speaker A: Hello. We are missing, like, an iconic breakfast food, actually. [01:03:21] Speaker B: Say it. [01:03:22] Speaker A: The Mickey Waffle. [01:03:23] Speaker B: Yes. Yeah. [01:03:26] Speaker A: Like, the best. I love it so much. No, and I miss the mini ones. The mini ones were so good because it wasn't too big and you could eat it on the go. So. [01:03:36] Speaker B: So I got rid of those. Those were nice. [01:03:38] Speaker A: Bring them back. You could sell those. You could sell those. Like, you could sell it frozen and people would buy it. [01:03:46] Speaker B: Yeah. And going. Going back to the pancakes that you mentioned. Like, they were Minnie Mouse pancakes. [01:03:53] Speaker A: Yes. [01:03:54] Speaker B: So there's Mickey waffle. [01:03:55] Speaker A: They were super cute. [01:03:56] Speaker B: Yeah, Mickey waffle and the Minnie Mouse pancakes. Like that. So fun. [01:04:00] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:04:01] Speaker B: But, yeah, the Mickey Waffle. Iconic. It's weird. That's only at Disneyland and at the one spot. [01:04:09] Speaker A: I know. [01:04:09] Speaker B: And you can't get it anywhere else. [01:04:10] Speaker A: And the line is massive. And it's like. [01:04:13] Speaker B: Yeah, the demand for it is huge. [01:04:16] Speaker A: Yeah. It's because of social media and, like, everybody wants, like, a picture of it. Like, I'm like, make a photo spot, you know, and then, like, because it was never, like, such a long line, like, it's not worth waiting in, like, a massive line for, which is the issue. But it's half an hour cute. [01:04:33] Speaker B: Like, half an hour short. No, way more than that. [01:04:36] Speaker A: Not even, like, it's good. [01:04:38] Speaker B: It gets up. It gets up to 90 minutes. [01:04:41] Speaker A: It's insane. [01:04:42] Speaker B: Yeah, but it is good. They don't have as many flavors as they used to. It's usually. No, well, it's just one now. [01:04:51] Speaker A: Before, I feel like there's a lot less fresh fruit on it as well. [01:04:55] Speaker B: Yeah, well, they don't do any because before there was, like, three or four variants to choose. Something like, you can get, like, the classic one. There's Just the Mickey waffle. [01:05:04] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:04] Speaker B: With some syrup and that's it. Nothing wrong with that. Then they would have, like, other ones. Like, oh, you can get, like, one with a mango sauce. [01:05:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:12] Speaker B: And like, ice cream. And then you get a strawberry one with chocolate. And, like, they used to do that, but they don't anymore. Well, since COVID they stopped doing that. But the waffle they have now is the same waffle. So it's still good. It's still really nice. [01:05:29] Speaker A: You can't go wrong with a waffle. [01:05:31] Speaker B: Crunchy on the outside. [01:05:33] Speaker A: It's freshly made. It's really yummy. [01:05:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, you can watch them make it, see them make it. So, like, they're not sitting there getting stale. Like, they're nice and fresh. [01:05:43] Speaker A: Exactly. [01:05:45] Speaker B: Delicious. Absolutely delicious. Well, I think we made good time now. I'm hungry. [01:05:53] Speaker A: I know. No, I don't make you waffles. [01:05:56] Speaker B: And I'm seriously going to go and buy some gold flakes. You should wrap my green alien emoji around. And the next time I go to disneysea, I want to try that breakfast Danish. Yeah, I'm going to try that out. [01:06:13] Speaker A: You should. Didn't we have an idea, like, years and years and years ago on one of the podcasts to buy the gold Flakes at the department store and put it on the food at Disney? [01:06:26] Speaker B: Did you? Did we? [01:06:27] Speaker A: To make, like, a fancy version. [01:06:30] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness. [01:06:31] Speaker A: I think it was back when it was like, the gold ice cream trend. And I'm like, we could do this with other Disney food. [01:06:37] Speaker B: We probably did talk about that. Oh, goodness. All right, explorers. Thank you so much.
