Emmy Eats Okinawa, Japan Part 2: tasting more Okinawan snacks & sweets

[@MarissaRachel]

Emmy seems like such a fantastic mother.....I don't want any children but if I ever did have kids I'd hope to be a mom like Emmy, intelligent, caring, funny, and loving! I can't think of any other mom i'd want to emulate other then Emmy

[@emmymade]

Thanks for the kind words. Being a mama is the best.

[@anori7285]

I love love love your videos Emmy! My daughter 10 yr old daughter Sasha and I enjoy watching your videos and learning so much ;) Your videos have made our trips to our local asian grocers a lot more fun and we look forward to trying a lot of new treats and exciting flavors. She was so excited to find the banana puffs and shrimp chips and we even found a totally new one, a crab one that was delicious! Keep up the good work Emmy! much love from Tampa Florida!!

[@hannahr8270]

i never knew that i would enjoy watching someone else eat food as much as i do

[@lalaland9429]

I would listen to you and go sleeping right away as the relaxation that your voice makes each time I watch ur videos - love you Emmy my God bless you

[@applepingua3974]

Aww on the lil map of Okinawa, the circle around it makes it looks like a smiley face!

[@JOREAPER]

I like her vocabulary

[@marighilenewirtz9179]

I think is lovely

[@emmymade]

Oh, thank you & welcome to Emmymade in Japan.

[@danam.5127]

Shisa are EVERYWHERE when you go to Okinawa! Most people have them standing guard outside their houses. My cousin and I tried to see how many we could find while we were there. Now I shall try to see if I can find some Shisa ga Ippai candy at any of my local Japanese stores. And the Beni Imo Tarts are really lovely, aren't they? My family gifted me with a package of those the last night I was in Okinawa so I could bring them back to my family. I have never been to Hawaii myself, but I have heard there is a significant Okinawan population there. The climate of Okinawa is very similar to Hawaii, and some of the same plants grow in both places (hibiscus is the one that initially comes to mind). So it doesn't surprise me that some of the foods are similar or that the flavors are similar. It makes me want to visit Hawaii even more. These videos have brought back so many pleasant memories of my childhood and my trip to Okinawa. Thank you for these lovely videos! It was so great watching you learn about Okinawa through their foods. I also really appreciated the sanshin music at the beginning of these videos. I had the pleasure of having sanshin players at my relatives' house two separate times! It was the time I most associate with everyone laughing and dancing and singing together. These were such a delight, and now I'm curious to see more of your other videos! (I apologize for the length of my comments- I'm just so passionate about Okinawan culture, and it's so great to see people learning about it since the culture and language are dying).

[@Oregonbabymmx]

I loved reading your comment. I spent a good portion on my childhood in Okinawa so this was also like a piece of my childhood for me and the music with both videos brought a sense of nostalgia for me. I love seeing someone so passionate about the culture of the Ryukyu Islands cause it is becoming so scarce. I tried to learn all that I could while I was there.

[@illogicalmethod]

I know this is years later, but you are right about Hawaii and Uchinanchu. Many uchinanchu came to Hawaii, due to poverty Okinawa, in the early 1900's and worked the sugar plantations. My great grandfather was amongst those uchinanchu and my great grandmother came over as a picture bride. I have a lot of Uchinanchu cousins still in Hawaii to this day :).

[@Queenjacq231]

My sister is stationed there and she brought all of that stuff when she was on leave. So good!

[@illfayted]

I love watching your videos while I eat breakfast, that way I don't get so hungry watching you eat all the delicious treats.

[@emmymade]

My pleasure. :)

[@kimchisamlice999]

msg stands for monosodium glutamate. it basically adds a meaty or savoury taste to things. it's used a lot in cup noodle soup powders.

[@thomas3775]

9:02 was hilarious 😂😂

[@PinkELFz]

+marisina Shikiko I like how she kept it in the video :D

[@teteyscott123]

I have never laughed so hard in my life 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ashinspace9052]

When she showed the picture of Okinawa, it looked like a cute kawiai face

[@tacmedic9039]

I actually have a bag of blue seal candy in the pantry. Going to have to open it now. Lol. Thanks again for sharing!!

[@DVSins904]

the dry plums that have a jarring flavor, mexico has a similar snack to that where its dusted with salt, the best way i have found to eat those is by cutting a sweet orange in half then sticking one of those dry plums in the center eating it together with the orange is mighty tasty.

[@Flastew]

Another super cool and fun video. It is so fun to watch how you either love, or dislike what you are tasting. And the wild Emmy Endings are always a great laugh and pick me up. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@JakkieTea]

Anything Beni Imo is delicious! It was my favorite when I visited Okinawa. The Blue Seal Beni Imo ice cream, to die for!

[@Hellchen317]

Those sweet potatoe tarts look divine! I so want one so badly. Would it taste good with normal sweet potatoe? You can't find those lovely blue sweet potatoes here in Germany.

[@jill9356]

Hellchen317 answering this for you four years later, yes sweet potato should work fine. We have sweet potato pies here in America, so you should be fine.

[@rockerhoney22]

Japanese has a lot of homonyms which is what makes kanji so important to the language. Ame with the kanji [雨] means rain and ame with the kanji [飴] means candy.

[@myleg]

"it's like a little potato." 😍

[@emmymade]

Every Saturday in October. :) Last week I ate eyeball ice cubes.

[@marciwhitman3513]

I love rice cakes. They are a staple in my diet because I have to eat gluten free and I haven't been able to find a bread that I really like so I use rice cakes instead. I actually like the plain unsalted ones when I want to top it with egg salad. I like the chocolate chip ones for breakfast with peanut butter

[@Pt0wN973b0iI]

I LOVE HOW EXCITED SHE GET! 😛😛😛 We should all have great intentions while eating.

[@BlackenedNightShade]

Oh the snacks in these two videos remind me of when my grandma comes home from a reunion back in Okinawa and bring home snacks for me and my brother.

[@kierafrancisco6099]

Omg Emmy this is my favorite episode of Emmy eats..you are so entertaining..I love your videos..I subscribe to others but I watch your videos the most..I just love them:))

[@roarmaus]

There needs to be a supermix/compilation of all the teeny end skits. Pleeeeaaaasee.

[@lilyh8895]

oneroarmouse Yes! That'd be so awesome!

[@catherinejustcatherine1778]

I agree. That sounds like such fun! Maybe Emmy would let someone help her make it? It's probably a huge amount of editing, after 9 years, of an average of 2 or 3 videos per week . That feels like maybe around 1,000 videos to sift through & copy bits from. Maybe do it as a 3 million subscriber bonus?

[@emmymade]

The door to my boy's room doesn't latch & on breezy days it pops open. :)

[@windstorm1000]

emmy how do you stay so thin eating the world's candies--lucky girl! love your show--its very educating and enjoyable. hours go by--oh, ya, housework! but how do we get some of these candies you enjoy?

[@emmymade]

Miso is really different. It's very salty and has more of a wine smell/taste. :)

[@clairechoo]

The dried sour plums are a fairly common thing in SE Asia. You should try the powdered version with fruits like green mango, guava...even Granny Smith apples. It adds sweetness which contrasts against the tartness. I also like the sour plum candy. Infinitely more palatable than the actual. I'm adverse to the actual. Traumatized as a child when someone told me how it was made.

[@shinew7185]

Hi Emmy, I subbed not too long ago... starting with your century egg video which I thoroughly enjoyed because it wasn't being featured as some "gross" food product to be eaten on a dare. I'm sitting here on this lovely Sat. morning catching up on the videos I haven't seen yet. This Okinawa vid has been my fave thus far, you really seem to be enjoying the package sent to you by Michael which in turn your audience enjoys as well via your expression. I never thought I'd enjoy watching someone taste test food... but I'm hooked! LoL

[@360Tastes]

I wish I got to try the miso cookies and the brown sugar pretz when I was in Okinawa! The beniimo chips look delicious!

[@rajashreepillai5217]

people who dont like the video i have a solutiin for you all. DO NOT WATCH THE VIDEO AND KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND DO NOT COMMENT BAD ABOUT HER. she gives everyone an idea of the products which actually helps.

[@gyqz]

Congratulations to the winners. I hope y'all will send Emmy a thank-you note or comment! Thank you Emmy for making me smile again...your videos always help to make my day!

[@katzehart]

in Perú a sweet potato says camote hahahah :)!!! i love your videos... please more videos of recipes of bentos or japanese dishes ♥

[@alwiansawlyysson186]

10:35 is polkagrisar!!!!! In swedish!!! They are so good! We use to make them at home!

[@9333mahi]

Emmyさん沖縄のお菓子を紹介していただきありがとうございます。 とても嬉しいですね、これからも頑張ってください。沖縄からでした。

[@lisadawson9455]

Ur door made me Jump haha scared the crap out of me! Lol

[@lovepuppy359]

I heard a door close after her door opened, that's why it opened. The air flow in the house was different. It happens all the time at my house. :)

[@heliodronus]

Emmy, you have to come eat the fresh food and fresh pastries from Okinawa. Bring your family and I will show you around.

[@Natashakiable18]

I love that I watch these at like 2am...when I'm starving and wished I could eat some of those snacks you get. lol

[@hannabradley9980]

At 9:02 I laughed so hard, that I fell off my bed! 😂🤣

[@thelifemage7721]

Hanna Bradley cc

[@askingalexia]

I love your voice, it's so pleasant hahah

[@AmyChou]

I love Okinawa and that beni imo tart!! Actually visited the tart factory while I was there :D

[@RandomCheapTricks]

I love your tutorial videos! Maybe you can show us how to make that stuffed frog that you made for your son. It was adorable!

[@lopsickles]

A network really needs to pick you up as a host. You have the best narrative voice, and describe things in such a great sensory-involving way. Plus, you're beautiful! I would have you in my tv all day long(like I don't on KZbin already......)

[@AmyDuan]

quick question. did a ghost open the door? behind you? while u were about to eat the chips?

[@angelprice1657]

the air conditioner cut on and the pressure from it closed the door.

[@AmyDuan]

Ouh.. lol

[@Yogirliej4dee]

Amy Duan I can imagine she films in silence so it means shutting out husband and child,but considering her child is a toddler now he can open doors on his own.

[@kaiwilder4701]

BellRain Chan she said he was taking a nap man

[@kaiwilder4701]

BellRain Chan it's probably the AC

[@KP-zb1tr]

You can tell she's intelligent by the way she articulates her thoughts.

[@ainoaguy]

Emmy I love your videos sooosososo much! It's like a journey around the world.

[@learningapple]

13:48 That was priceless Emmy. "Hey, hey [did you know] we're the monkees!"

[@guerradan]

Part 3 please!

[@jimmydejesus5380]

emmy the first tart looks like the kraice popin cookin sundae but that is more bigger and different colour

[@Tny.1]

Can anyone direct me to the follow-up video for the Microwaveable Rice and the noodles she said she would post? I can't seem to find it =( Thank you!

[@craigloucao]

What do you do with all this food once your done trying it? Do you put it in bags or containers and label it? Also can your baby eat solid food? If so has he/she tried any of the Eat Okinawa Food? What is his/her favourites?

[@udui1o173]

Hey Emmy if you haven't been to Okinawa hopefully you can get there. It was an Independent Kingdom of the Ryukyus before Japan illegally overthrew it. I love traveling to that island to visit friends & relatives.

[@kellyquintero1066]

emo tart.... sounds like early Gerard Way

[@wcrt8239]

I love the way she laughed after saying banana

[@sherridene]

Love your videos! Sorry I had to laugh when the door opened and scared the "crap" out of you. Too,funny

[@gardengalsu]

A bit of history: You mentioned Hawai'i & that is 'atarimae'; after WWII, several people (my husband's uncle was 1 of them) from Hawai'i shipped plants and food stock [goats & pigs] to replenish the land & feed the people.

[@thedragoonknight]

4:02 Oh my god, that's the snack of my childhood. That same exact brand. I haven't seen that bright yellow bag in over a decade.

[@emilyschaffer4400]

Those beni imo tarts look AMAZING

[@marinomandagan544]

I traveled across the land of videos you have just to see your first video I deserved an award,!!!!

[@emmymade]

He tried the miso cookies and liked them. He'll have a taste of the candies when he gets a little older.

[@oliviachann]

The dried plums are amazing when you feel nauseous !

[@emmymade]

I do. Hi, Pam!

[@vogealishis]

how did you get your start on getting packages of food from other countries cause me and my mom want to do it but we dont know how

[@MissSilk]

Hakka Ame is quite similar to the Korean equivalent called PakHa Satang (박하사탕) they look awfully the same but I think the Korean version is a little harder ^^

[@ultradeepfieldstars]

I love your voice! I really want to live in Japan and especialy now with all these tasty foods!

[@crybabymoon]

Love the way you describe all the food, I can almost taste it!

[@cherrycordiaI]

Your baby has one of those street play rugs! Oh my goodness I had one of those too.

[@emmymade]

[@Mi8573]

[@sirbuggy56]

+Isaiah Finley いも食って屁をこく。

[@nairukatsuji93]

the shio senbei kind of reminds me of the rice cakes that we have here in the states owo But it looks a bit different

[@angelika_munkastrap4634]

Is there a part three of you eating the noodles?

[@samanthaevans4231]

can someone explain to me what the first things were she ate? how is that a potato? im a little confused. maybe its just something we dont have in the states

[@sevenatenine2011]

Yellow package supaiman is one of my favorites!

[@MsDreamcakes]

I almost jumped out of my chair when the door opened....our house is 106 years old and makes creepy noises too but the doors only open like that when someone shuts or opens another door somewhere in the house....you were so calm and carried on....I woulda had to edit the part where I screamed out! lol =}

[@aunabarnes5960]

9:30 omg that was hilarious omg who opened the door

[@Babythaiiz]

Im from tucson close to the mexico border very mexican infused place we call the salted plums saladitos we have different flavord ones as well often eatin with a lemon or and ornge or a in a fruit cocktail . My favorite is with a raspado :)

[@xxx789ist]

[@daiseeduong8161]

I love your endings

[@sarahbuttell6367]

The doors in my house do that too. It's usually because of air pressure change, and the doors not wanting to close properly

[@VanquishedJelly]

I've watched a couple of your vids...and I have to say... I LOVE THEM!!!

[@mindychan4537]

Your awsome Emmy I watched all of your vids

[@adriannaj1711]
