Best & Worst Japanese Snacks (protein bar edition)

[@user-xh5sg6wk5g]

14:53 I'm Japanese. Thank you for reviewing a Japanese snack again! And thank you for the generous rating! “一本満足バー　シリアル”="Ippon Manzoku Bar Cereal" is health bar, it's a product for dieters. The same series “一本満足バー　ギガプロテイン”="Ippon Manzoku Bar Giga Protein" contains 27g of protein ….and over 300 kcal. Giga Protein is a late-comer product, and it's not very popular, so there are very few stores that sell it.

We need lean beef patty to create her own line of cheese flavored protein bars

I had a friend who was a Japanese pro figure skater. She hated the protein powder in the states, and would always bring back a Japanese banana-flavored powder. She also introduced me to the chocolate Calorie Mate, which tastes like a regular chocolate cookie, but without as strong of a flavor. They cross-promoted with the TV show 24, featuring print ads with Kiefer Sutherland eating them.

[@wat8554]

15:30 This bar is treated as a snack that one would eat when hungry.

[@orexgabriel2448]

yeah, it is a cereal "healthy" bar. They package it to look like a protein bar just for marketing - I got fooled by it once but I realized it is too sweet for a protein bar. Many consumers do not pay attention to details.

that’s why in japan we never pour out those series of jelly drinks out of the packet 😂😂

[@JimmersPlays]

Calorie Mate is for when your in the field, the perfect tactical advantage for taking down Metal Gear.

[@nagasako7]

I occasionally buy Calorie Mate. And then gets me ready to confront any Russian revolver welding KGB agent.

[@blackkatt2288]

Your energy is insane. it's like cheerfully intimidating, and I love it.

[@JK-wl6dx]

Never seen that particular product, but Japanese labels do usually have fat listed (脂肪). The name of the one with only 1 gram of protein basically translates to "satisfied with just one bar." It's supposed to be a satisfying snack that keeps you between meals I think. The クリーム玄米ブラン cookie type ones are supposed to be an easy, healthy breakfast, essentially like a substitute for a bowl of cereal.

[@iLoveGhostfac3]

“Straight from the nipple” is crazy lmao😭😭 edit:HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT QUEST CHIPS, THEYRE REALLY GOOD STOP😭

[@pewpewbbqs]

Quest chips are the bomb

[@theleanbeefpatty]

whatre the top flavors?!?! maybe im having weird ones lol

[@Katdash11]

The only good flavor is the taco one

[@iLoveGhostfac3]

NO WAY THE, LEANBEEFPATTY FRICKING COMMENTED ON MY COMMENT, NO WAY

[@kennedyjoco]

The sweet and spicy chili are my favs!! Tastes so much like the Doritos to me.

[@goobinator_]

Your comment about Quest chips reminded me. My go to snack/meal when I want to get in a good chunk of protein at relatively low calorie is the following -1 Tuna Can with Light Mayo, Lemon Pepper and a small bit of sweet relish -Dave's Killer thin sliced 21 whole grain bread or other low carb bread -Quest BBQ Chips (put the chips in/on the sandwich)

[@graema96]

protein bars in order of appearance (+ some comments) 1. Don Quijote Protein bar 2. Soy Joy Fig and Raisin 3. Asahi Ippon Manzoku Giga Protein bar (Caramel flavor) - i usually eat this one 4. Morinaga in Protein Jelly 5. Asahi Creamy Brown Rice Bran (Matcha Flavor) 6. Morinaga in Protein bar (Baked Choco) 7. Morinaga in Biscuit 8. Meiji Boost Bites Gummies 9. Morinaga In Low Carbohydrate Protein Bar (Matcha Flavor) 10. Asahi Ippon Manzoku Cereal Strawberry Bar - not a protein bar actually 11. Calorie Mate - technically designed as a meal replacement, not a protein bar either 12. Asahi Creamy Brown Rice Bran Crispy (Strawberry Flavor) 13. Asahi Creamy Brown Rice Bran (Cream Cheese Flavor) 14. Morinaga in Protein Bar (Crunchy Choco)

3:41 Patty, have you ever tried gjetost? It’s a Norwegian cheese that has a caramel flavor. Strangely good. Cheese AND caramel! It’s sometimes sold under the brand Ski Queen.

[@peege9000]

Might be an acquired taste tho

[@theleanbeefpatty]

i have not but now that i know it exists i would like to!

[@jellojello6859]

love how she says the first item is 'not good' and still gives it a 6/10 lolll shes too nice

[@dartvid]

And the second one she's like "I liked it. 5/10"

[@DoffyDogg]

Probably nutrition value, 2nd only had like 4g of prot

[@justinjapan1664]

As someone living in Japan I really enjoyed this video. Just a couple things 1. If I'm going to eat a protein bar I usually go for the chocolate version of the caramel protein bar she tried at 3:41. It has the most protein of all the bars you can get in Japan. 2. I have tried a cheese flavored protein bar in Japan from the company Asahi. I wouldn't recommend it though, it tasted like stale cheese. Might be why I haven't seen it in a while 3. What she called a cheese sandwich at 19:19 I also eat quite a bit. Not a ton of protein I just really like the taste, especially the maple flavor.

[@gabsterthegagster]

Absolutely love how your personality shines in this video Patty! You definitely are a lot more expressing and social here, keep it up! ❤

[@NTomlin575]

That protein gel was a roller coaster of emotions. lol Love your videos, keep up the good work!

[@SunnyBee33]

Omg the review I've been waiting for!!! I will say, as time wore on the crispy bars really grew on me, my favourite is the black chocolate protein bar because the macros are 187kcal and 20g of protein. It is the Sahara desert texture wise but it makes it super filling lol. The jelly ones are kind of a ride or die for me, fun fact people use them when they're sick to get nutrients in on a delicate stomach because they're super easy to digest. I also HATE the inprotein bars, they taste awful! The good thing is that you can get all of these products in pretty much any convenience store so you can always get your protein in a pinch! The pink one is actually not a protein bar, it's advertised as like a vitamin bar basically, it's meant to be a health bar or sorts

[@amatamolnar673]

I'm pretty sure Soy Joy bars used to be pretty commonly available in the US? Because I remember eating them and the weird texture but they were also strangely good!

[@thatonerussiangirl6405]

i honestly love that you describe the texture of these items. i HATE certain textures so this was actually a huge help, thank you!!

[@Soft_.7]

Oh no, imagine being reincarnated into a protein bar and not pleasing Patty's palate, one more fear🥲💔

[@theleanbeefpatty]

i think youd have bigger concerns if you reincarnated as a protein bar looool oh my

[@BurittoSandwich]

12:50 A lot of the gummies I got while in Japan to bring back home were pretty tough to chew, maybe that's just their usual gummy texture? I personally like it though.

[@quinnmcdonald3763]

Thanks for doing these. Going to Japan in a couple of weeks and this is helpful!

[@anniemation823]

The strawberry yogurt bar is for vitamins and iron, but that brand does have protein bars with 15g of protein. So happy you got to try a variety of protein bars in Japan! If you like gummies Tough gummy has about 8g!

[@AccusedBlue]

Patty is really risking it all whenever she does food content lol. We appreciate your service! 🫡

[@aarong-s4954]

I am not a gym person but I very much enjoy watching these kinds of videos of yours because you are so fun and silly :-)

[@Feliciayumm]

I’m currently living in Okinawa, Japan and I’ve tried most of the ones you’re reviewing, I’m not impressed with any of them. It’s like no matter where you go in the world, you are guaranteed to find some ass flavored protein bars. They either compromise in flavor or in texture. If you’re looking for a high protein shake with good flavor and easily dissolvable, try a brand called Zavas 10/10

[@monicaislasquinonez3947]

The "what a frick" just make me laugh too much 😂

[@Meow3431]

yay 🎉 thanks paddy ❤ going to japan for a year soon, was already wondering if they have some protein snacks... well I guess doesn't seem too promising 😅

Can’t believe she didn’t include Base Bread. I used to eat one of those every day when I studied abroad in Osaka. Best protein bread ever

[@clarissa43221]

I love all your food content Patty! Can’t wait to get back into working out again! Since my Japan trip I wasn’t able to do as much since they don’t have as many gyms there (kinda an excuse but it was expensive for a one time workout 🥲). But I’ll be starting again this week! Thank you for always motivating me!

Keep the list 1. Brigadeiro 2. Coxinha 3. Feijoada etc. I know we will watch that video some day! Have a nice week!

[@just_danyy2743]

1:20 You can easily derive the fat intake as the remaining calories after subtracting the carbs and proteins, which means Fats = (480 - (43.4 + 26) * 4) / 9 = 22.5 g. Hope this helps :)

[@Ali-fd6lr]

GREAT video! Sadly this got posted right after I returned from Japan for vacation. 😂 It is a needed video. This is not necessarily food but there are several really solid (and flavorless) collagen protein powders in Japan as well, mostly sold in beauty/drug stores.

MetRx is my bar of choice. I love it and refer to them as 'candy bars' I assume the protein balls in those Japanese bars are soy protein. I have always wanted to visit Japan but don't want to fly for that long (and particularly not over open water) : Phobia reveal. I enjoyed the chance to interact with your pretty blue eyes, so this was kinda "Japanese Protein Bar and Patti's Pretty blue eyes" video for me. I gave the eyes a 10/10, now going to go eat a 'candy bar'.

[@DetectiveTHJ]

Omg yes a while back someone got me that first item you reviewed, and I was also disappointed when I tried it. It's so... unsatisfying and it left me feeling all weird in my tummy afterwards.

[@x0kashii]

The one before the last one isn't a protein bar! You should 100% get the in protein bars that have 20g of proteins, the white chocolate & berries one is so good!

[@kanameishikawa1703]

Strawberry yogurt bar is like a bar made up of multiple grains, including cereals, so it's more of a snack that's an easy way to get vitamins and fibre than protein. People who train (including myself) in Japan would rather eat steam chicken breast from conbini store than a protein bar:) It's simply high in protein, low in fat and tastes better than a protein bar in Japan

I'd love to try more matcha flavored snacks, but I do enjoy making matcha lattes at home with the Ito En brand sweetened matcha since it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Did you get a chance to try some of their fun flavored Kit Kats? A coworker once brought some in for us to try, and I loved their Halloween themed apple pie one (they were purple). Also, I don't mind Quest bars either. Especially the chocolate chip cookie dough one. Not sure why there's so much hate on them lol. Thanks for sharing these cool items! If only they were that cheap in the states. 😭

[@jonmolina948]

Happy Sunday Patty ❤️👍 Awesome you can tell which supplements are legit and which have fillers. That’s next level. I did the flatulence test myself. If I’m not breaking wind 💨 then it’s just a glorified expensive candy bar. Japanese versions probably contain more fillers and sugar maybe because the fitness market is not as big there and so the product can sell.

[@theleanbeefpatty]

happy monday jon!

[@bizzlecrafts]

Choclate Calorie Mate is really good. I picked some up the last two times I was in Japan. I didn't get them for the protein but I can "forget to eat" and nose dive my energy to the point of nearly passing out. When I would do the "I'm sitting and I can't get up" a bar of Calorie Mate sorted me out. It was great of maintaining weight too during times of illness. It's a very bland chocolate but it's sort of comforting in a white bread sort of way.

5:42, Problem is, most of the times these yello-protein things are made out of collagen protein, so it doesn't help with muscle protein synthesis.

Interesting patty keep up the good work I loved the video. It was amazing. As previously u suggested me to buy tretinoin so I bought the one with 0.025 percentage tretin (with the lowest amount of tretin as my skin is sensitive). Thank you so much for the advice mam and I am going to the gym everyday, whenever I feel demotivated I watch your videos to stay motivated. Thank u so much mam.

Great vid always fun to watch Patty, although most of these are not "protein" bars, but instead "healthy" snack type. My favorite is the In wafer but the chocolate type and the In cookie but chocolate flavor. By the way the jelly drinks don't have to be refrigerated, they can be kept at room temperature.

日本からこんにちは。外からの視点で日本のプロテイン製品のレビューをしていただける動画は貴重なのでとても嬉しいです。 日本はソイプロテインが安いのでメーカー品には多用され、どうしても独特の匂いや食感がありますね。 The fitness situation and protein products in Japan still have room for growth and development. In particular, I feel that protein products are more oriented toward runners and other aerobic exercise enthusiasts and diet-conscious people. And snacks at convenience stores are often bought by women as a substitute for lunch to lose weight. In Japan, many people still go to the gym for the purpose of losing weight rather than working out. Local gyms also have more treadmills than all machines,More and more gyms do not. People like me, who prefer squats to running, buy protein snacks online. Delicious protein chips are also available. Expensive, though.(^ω^)

I have matcha flavored protein powder(by Truvani, in case someone wants to know.) and it’s probably my favorite. It breaks up the monotony of protein products which are primarily chocolate.
