This whole video is just precious. Not only the individual omiyage but Emmy's excitement about each one is even more precious. 😂

[@talbiislam4639]

“It’s just myself getting stuff for myself “ I really felt that 😂😂😂 ❤❤❤

[@scarletfierce4209]

I love how Emmy gushed about how cute the little otter was and then she ate him 😂😂😂!

[@poyzngrey]

It's funny that you would say that the banana cake is what a Twinkie dreams of being. The original Twinkies were banana creme filled! They had to swap away from banana flavoring due to rationing in WWII.

[@therealJamieJoy]

do you think they got the original idea from a Japanese sweet?

[@Aperson156]

​@@therealJamieJoy The one featured here didn't come around until 1991, so it may be the other way around.

[@shannondore]

I love the banana Twinkies. Unfortunately you can't really find them in the stores anymore. Wish they would put them back in the stores.

[@therealJamieJoy]

@@Aperson156 ahhh, I see

[@Margar02]

​@@shannondore they bring them back from time to time promotionally

[@KenKobayashiRasmussen]

My mother is from Sapporo Hokkaido and the Omiyage (gift) to get in that region is 100% "Shiroi Koibito", It's a thick white or milk chocolate slice in between two crunchy thin sweet wafers, and honestly it's one of my absolute favorite snacks in the world, especially the white chocolate one...if you ever do a video like this again, you must include them, you will love them...fun fact, we have a house right next to the factory, well almost...

[@Aya-ho2cw]

those are soooo good

[@lemoncake3824]

White milk chocolate of Rokka-tei is best of all.

[@aprillou]

I was waiting for Tokyo Banana and I wasn’t disappointed. In my last Tokyo trip, half of my luggage were all Tokyo Banana Omiyage as that’s the most requested take home gift from my co-workers. 😝

[@Tonilynne1122]

Just realized I’ve been watching your channel for 7 years.. that means I’ve been watching you since I was 17 🥲 The first video I watched of yours what the spaghetti o jello mold recipe ❤ Also I’m craving a video filmed from inside your house again like a few years ago. Love your channel so much!! Thank you for all you do ❤

[@Graciesmom-gp5ng]

I do miss the kitchen.

[@_guillermo]

The manju somehow managed to surpass peeps in cuteness🤯🥰

[@heather2493]

That last one is adorable, it looks like a cross between a peep and a pear!!😍😂 They actually all look amazing. Thank you as always for sharing such unusual and unique experiences with us, Emmy. Cheers

[@frodoshaggins]

In my family (Irish) we very much expect food from someone’s travels to be presented when they get back, doesn’t go down well if they forget 😂

[@beadladee]

🤣

[@alderpotz]

Omiyage has similar concept in the Philippines called Pasalubong, I always found souvenir a loose translation 🤭 learned something new today ❤️

[@applesandoranges9916]

People the egg pudding is really good! you can’t take it home but do have it while you’re here❤

[@Jiuhuashan]

Hope you had some nice Japanese green tea as a palate cleanser in this episode. Wonderful episode, thank you Emmy!

[@KrystyneY]

I love learning little cultural traditions involving food gifts!

[@shanidar]

Fun fact.. the "artificial" banana was the flavor of the previous dominant species of banana, the Gran Michel. But it became blighted and effectively wiped out. Some do still exist but not in an y commercial capacity. The seedling I had died immediately.

[@AngryAlfonse]

Honestly, I'm not glad a whole cultivar of bananas was wiped out, but I am glad that we have Cavendish now. I love Cavendish, I hate the taste of gros michel.

[@HylianTwunk]

[@bjdefilippo447]

Thanks for doing this. I'm absolutely fascinated by gift giving traditions across cultures, and these are some I'd never experience otherwise.

I love your tasting videos like this! Very old school, will always be my favorite. :)

19:12 this is the cutest paaart 😍 loved how these aren't just tasting, its experiencing ❤

[@HazelHammond1505]

OH the little Otters are so dang cute!! thank you for sharing

[@TheCecewlalala]

my day always gets better when i see that emmy video notification!!!

[@Your.Uncle.AngMoh]

All that candy: SUGAR RUSH!! You're right, Emmy. The sheer, almost anally-retentive attention to detail sets just about anything Japanese apart from its counterparts in other countries. The sticker holding that "egg" didn't need to be painted like a cut hardboiled egg, but making it so just adds so much to it.

[@ErinChamberlain]

I absolutely love the way the Japanese people are so committed to beauty and workmanship. They really should take pride in their lovely creations! I am definitely going to try some of these!!!! Thanks for sharing with us Emmy!

[@gablison]

I read that Laffy Taffy was first made when Gros Michel instead of the Cavendish was the banana du jour so that was the banana flavour they used to flavour their banana sweets back then.

[@puggirl415]

I think that's why banana flavored candies really don't taste like fresh bananas we eat today.

[@hellomjb]

The flavor used for banana in the US , is the same chemical used for pear flavor in the UK. Generic sweet fruit flavor, I can't remember the name though.

[@Margar02]

That is a myth that has been debunked. It's just synthetic flavor that kinda tasted banana-like

[@gablison]

@@Margar02 okay good to know.

[@SeansMusicVault]

These snacks are adorable! 😍 11:07 Owen Wilson's soul invaded Em for a second here.

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

Woooew

[@nailinthefashion]

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

So true ❤❤❤

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst]

I loved your reaction to each treat as much as the treats themselves 💖 Each treat was so well presented; I'd be incredibly happy gifting these and getting these. I think the otter was my favourite, but then I Iove coffee!

[@annadickens9245]

I love Emmy and her videos so much!! Instant mood enhancer!! 💕

[@cak8132]

I loved learning about “omiyage”. I did some more reading about it, too, and found it fascinating.

[@angelmarie2005]

Emmy have you ever heard of pinecone jam? Never heard of it until today. It literally had mini pinecones in jam. Thoughts?

[@HarpyMilk]

I love watching you try new treats and such it’s so entertaining thank you ❤

[@elisabrienza8848]

Loved watching this and I really did learn something!! Emmy you rock!!

[@JimsKitschKitchen]

Hey lovely- that yolk was incredible! I once had a hot fudge burger at a restaurant and it was pretty phenomenal!! You should try a Cap’n Crunch burger. Those are the most precious chicks- perfect Easter treat. 100 years wow!!! Thursdays and Saturdays are always my favorite days- thanks to you!!! ❤❤❤

[@lauramaldonado5591]

I love all you videos about treats from around the world ♥️😊

Emmy, this was SOOOOO charming!! I always love your videos and learn so many new things. This was delightful. A wonderful custom,

[@gomaandnorismom5374]

Great watching your pure enjoyment of tasting those treats. Thanks for your your fun and enjoyable videos!

[@annbrookens945]

These were all so darn cute! The packaging/presentation would definitely make them special gifts and those cakes were all adorable!

[@MsJai_1]

YES!!! I've purchased Tokyo Banana and other Japanese desserts online for a few years! 😚😚 Love all of these and the Butter Raisin sandwich cookies!

[@momothebug]

The little chick Hiyoko Manju is filled with white bean jam ❤ Oh and Racco ラッコ is Japanese for Sea Otter 🥰

[@gomaandnorismom5374]

Yes, I was going to say a white bean anko.

[@momothebug]

@@gomaandnorismom5374 when it's made with white beans it's called shiro-an

[@rizahawks99]

Super cute and fun!! wish i could try some of those!

[@susanparrott5175]

Love this, more please ❤

[@shannondore]

I thought the otter cake was the cutest then you opened the little chick at the end. Oh my goodness!! That little guy was way too cute to eat.😊

[@karenjarrett8904]

Well these were just beautiful, little tastes to bring back from a trip. However I would have to order them for myself. So very interesting Emmy. 🤗

[@dezinechic]

this looked like so much fun!!!!!

[@Cymricus]

i saw a japanese cookie factory tour that made these sorts of sweets. the care that goes into the process is really admirable. great part of japanese culture

[@StephenHutchison]

So glad you got your sense of taste back so you can enjoy these.

[@ClanImprobable]

So many treats, I think the first batch, the “banana” cakes were my favorite. Thank you Emmy!

[@matticonroy3884]

I love you so much. Thank you for doing this

[@marcelleflower8410]

I loved this video! My favourite part was the baby chick cakes. :) Thank you Emmy!

[@xotai]

When I was in Tokyo I had some of the Tokyo banana and they were absolutely delicious!! I remember bringing some home and sharing them with friends 🥹

[@paprikamerah]

this look so dekicious thank you for sharing the recipe

[@SecretWars98]

Ha awesome! I’m so glad this channel popped back up in my feed, she is great! 👍

my favorite local coffee place has a blended coffee drink with a banana in it, love it!

[@michaelbannister1056]

Thank you for sharing sweets from Tokyo Japan.

[@kayokolindenberger3754]

Oh the memories! I remember getting the hyokos as omiyage a long time ago.

[@avantgauche]

omiyage is such a lovely idea

[@heathersayhey]

Oh my goodness I wanna try all of them!!!

[@RaphCocson]

I looooove Hiyoko! I think Hakata Torimon also from Fukuoka is also really good! One more thing I recently discovered was Mitsuemon from Oita when I went to Yufuin a week ago. Its a sweet potato-shaped tiny cake that is mind-blowingly good, it really tastes like sweet potato, even more so than a real sweet potato.

[@trinajohnson1857]

Hi Emmymade. I really love your homemade videos! Although it’s just you and your camera in your house, it feels very welcoming and warm! Keep making these amazing homemade videos in your kitchen! I feel like a guest.

I had two of these omiyage. The corn one and the Tokyo banana. When we went to Tokyo banana, they were celebrating the birth of the panda around christmas 2016 or was it 2017? So yummy! I love seeing all the omiyage when traveling around in the train stations! Thank you for sharing these cute treats!

[@tippib2222]

I looove black sesame. I’m from Taiwan and remember a dessert soup made of black sesame. ❤

[@volcanerd36]

If you are listening, going to Tokyo, and gluten-free, there are gluten-free Tokyo Bananas at Haneda airport (possibly other places) but you have to ask. Not all places will have them.
