Unique Snacks People Used to Eat in Hawaii

[@aimee6214]

Great video! Satoshi’s reaction to the sour items was priceless; what a good sport.

[@Takenjayyy]

I love how joyful shinichi is in this video 😄 Childhood snackies do that to you ✨

[@hollish196]

The pickled green mango had me LOL! But great idea about sushi rice.

[@bonzolvr]

I was SO shocked 😳 that Satoshi ate the rest of the cinnamon toast! And his reaction to the sour was so funny 😄 I loooove sour but not with any sweetness.

[@rachelolvera9435]

Me too

[@luckyguy71]

Arare and Nibb-its are really good with beer. You are correct about Yick Lung making cracked seed - they used to make the best Li Hing Mui. I thought YL went out of business - nice to hear it was revived. We made a tea from that lemon peel if we had a stomach ache. I also remember that one of my aunts would cook a meat dish with the lemon peel - I can't remember what it was called. Nice video guys! Thanks!

[@spang9782]

Great selections! We dip Royal Creems in coffee. One Ton chips are, in fact, used as a topping for Chinese Chicken Salad. It even comes in a smaller strip form just for salads, about 1/4" wide. Nibbits used to come in mild and spicy forms so Shinichi, you probably had the spicy one back in the day. Lemon peel was also a "medicine" when we had a cough or sore throat. Better than cough syrup!

[@jengm3419]

LOL Satoshi was like "WHY" when you were explaining the lemon peel ingredients. I love you guys so much 🥰 Even though I lived in Hawaii my entire life, I can't get myself to like pickled mango. Every other snack, 100% agree

[@luckyguy71]

I still get regular shipments of Diamond Bakery items from Hawaii. They are the ultimate comfort food to me. We used to put avocado on the saloon pilot bread way before avocado toast was a thing! My aunts always had the "One-Ton" chips at their Mahjong nights - My cousins and I would steal them for snacks while we watched TV in a different room while my Mom and her sisters lost all their money to each other.

[@TheLadyLuck523]

I love li hing mui and crack seed. Probably part of the problem for Satoshi with li hing mui is that sometimes they add licorice to the flavoring. Maybe if you find some without the licorice he'd like it better LOL! But I have to admit that the friends I've introduced it to didn't like it. I think you have to grow up with it as it's an acquired taste.

[@alanhyt79]

I can tell that Satoshi knows it's not his subject, since it's about what Shinichi ate as a child, but he really loves tasting the snacks that Shinichi knows so well.

[@shannondore]

That's what true love looks like.❤😊

[@VerhoevenSimon]

These nostalgia trips are always fun, and Satoshi handled some of the more special ones so well!

[@Scriptor13]

_Super_ nostalgic! I love sharing these childhood memories with you. We didn't have snacks in my home as a usual thing. At school, though, I often had Royal Creem crackers with milk. Yum! My parents gave lots of cocktail parties, and there were always bowls of Arare around for the party-goers, so I sometimes got a handful when the party was over. Crack seed was a special treat for my mom, and she'd share when she bought some. When I got candy, I loved White Rabbits and Tomoe Ame. Happy memories!

[@pozzo6828]

It was fun seeing sour foodstuff. We have similar pickles like that green mango and lime. Love green mango, once can also use it to make aam panna or burnt green mango sherbet. I prefer my vitamin c from sour stuff, rather than chilli stuff!

[@TabiEatsReviews]

Thanks so much. So good to see you again!

[@angelamapa2529]

Childhood snacks are so comforting :D When I was a kid, my dad would often go on business trips and he was usually too busy to buy us any souvenirs. No problem, we enjoyed the things that airlines gave him haha. I loved it when he took JAL home because we'd put on his plane socks & kimono and we'd eat his plane snacks. I remember trying senbei for the first time when I was 5. My absolute favorite was the rice cracker wrapped in nori

[@ripleylv426.]

This was so fun to watch! Grew up in honolulu (around the time Shinichi did), lived on the mainland for a while, now back living in honolulu. I haven’t had these goodies in a while, some since small kid time, as i “try” to eat healthy (although admittedly been addicted to li hing mui powder on everything lately🤦‍♀️ 🤷‍♀️). These were all my childhood. When nibb-its came on i was like “Yes Nibb-its!!”, totally so expensive though. You guys are so funny and have not lost a child’s purity to have fun, sometimes i see you guys as just big kids 😊. Gotta say, your interaction is so entertaining when something daring/experimental is on the table (like in spicy reviews). Through the anguish, Shinichi tries to remain articulate and focused with staying on point with the review while Satoshi goes into full body reactions: clenched fists, shaky voice, eyes pained. Yet as focused as Shinichi is, he checks in on Satoshi to see if he’s ok and tries to subtly bring him back to baseline by asking relevant questions. During a live spicy review: “Hey, someone said it’s St. Patrick’s Day! Is it?” Satoshi tries but can barely respond with “Maybe 🥵...”. Or: “Mmmmm pickled mango 😃!” “Ugh, so sour 😰!!”. “But it’s like umeboshi 😄!”. Lemon peel: “What’s your impression?” “Why😟??!....Sour 🥴.” “Ok but how’s the flavor?” “Like medicine 🤢.” 😂 Oh gosh, thanks guys 💛👍!

[@hollish196]

I recently ordered Bokksu, and was so impressed that I just ordered 4 products from them directly. Thanks for the selling moment!

[@mericksonw1]

OMG!! Nibbits!! I thought that went the same way as the Dodo bird. Glad it is still around. Will be on the look out for it when I am back in Hawaii soon. Thanks for sharing!!

[@Will-jm2cc]

Creem crackers with butter and COFFEE!!! Maebo is a local Japanese family own business in Hilo. One-Ton chips on Asian chicken salad - YUM! Yuck Lung did distribute li hung mui. Shinichi, do you remember they had shrimp chips and taco tubes?

[@ladymurasaki370]

I do remember all of those snacks and still eat them!

[@shadowvamp17]

His response tot he sourness was hilarious.

[@lauramiyashiro5202]

I love all these snacks! I didn't know Nibbits is a Hawaii thing. Creem crackers was more creamy before. Pickle mango and Tomoe ame are so expensive now.

[@debracantrell1058]

Aloha Shinichi and Satoshi good to see you y'all enjoying snack from Hawaii love theses kinds of video thanks ❤️😘🤩🥰😘👍

[@Apeles96707]

Holy crap thank you so much! Me and my uncle were at Longs the other day and I brought up Nibb-Its and how we never see them anymore!!! Then I clicked on your video today and saw it. So happy to know it’s still out there!!! 🤙🏼 Mahalo

[@louisetregomorgan4907]

Nitbits quite pricey, but ok for a treat and very nice indeed 👍 But the crackers would have to be my favorite.

[@veronicamokunui1372]

One ton chips! I've been addicted to these since small kid times. Only thing, they're EXPENSIVE! Lol... nibb-its are still sold all over the place , at least on the leeward side. Enjoyed the video guys, especially the reactions! Lol

[@gailsiangco5599]

Onolicious !!! When I go home to visit ...I will look out for the goodies and we will go to Foodland Market !!! Sharing with you two awesome foodies from San Diego, California !! !Mahalo !

[@TabiEatsReviews]

Mahalo!!!

[@peterjake9621]

Would love to try the pickled Mango 🥭 and the dried lemon peel. Sour snacks up my street 🤤😋

[@CC-gv3bo]

Thank you for a natsukashii video of snacks! Did you ever eat "Tomoe Ame" (bontan ame)? I loved the little plastic toy that came with each box. 5 cents when I used to buy it so you can imagine how long ago that was! (BTW I love lemon peel and miss it since I now live in Japan!)

[@lauramiyashiro5202]

Used to have really good toys before!

[@Scriptor13]

I thought Tomoe Ame was magic the first time I had it as a little girl! Yup, 5 cents and wonderful tiny toys.

[@meim1555]

Thank you for giving me idea to look for my childhood snacks here in my country (Philippines). Hope i do find some, now time to make a list😊.. Hope to watch Satoshi's turn to review his fave childhood snacks someday😊

[@kristihanson]

Satoshi, I giggled so hard. You are such a sport!

[@momonakokeshi6325]

I like all of them but my favorite is pickled mango. Sometimes, I spread egg salad or tuna salad on the crackers. Yum!

[@hollyh127HY]

懐かしくて何度もみています。Mahalo...thank you...ありがとうございました！ Love all of these foods and still eat most of them; by the way Yick Lung made (makes) a lot of seeds; love sweet li hing mui (and lemon peel) and it does make ocha taste so good and is a good 口直し!😄

[@score2high]

I called it kaki mochi and so did most of my friends. The other thing a lot kids called it was mochi crunch. My mouth automatically watered when you showed the lemon peel. For some reason, I remember the One Ton chips being called Won Ton Pi Chips. I'm sort of surprised at Satoshi's dislike for so many things.

[@perdomot]

We have to find a very sour snack with lots of cinnamon for Satoshi to try. Should be an epic reaction.

[@thedogmother2105]

When I was little, mom would give me Royal Creem Crackers…the original, with a bit of butter and we’d dip the buttered crackers into hot chocolate. Just the other day, my husband ate some with peanut butter. That was not bad either. LOL

[@luonajgarroutte212]

Mahalo for the video. Going to 4 different islands next month and will look for these to try.

[@SpencerAGuitar]

the Nibb-Its sound like a great snack! we have something similar in NA called Andy Capp's Fries which are like a crunchy puffed corn snack

[@katherineyanagihara2909]

Aloha 🌺 I thought Nibbits came in a can. Shibaraku desu ne! I love creem crackers dipped in coffee. Haven't had One Ton chips in a long time. Oishi! Thank you! That was fun!!!! 🥰

[@ymn202]

I would love to see Satoshi make a sushi recipe using the pickled green mango!

[@tamara4557]

Fun to see your childhood favourites. Would love to try the one-ton chips. They look like the casave chips Chinese restaurants have here. We have a similar toast here but with herbs. And the lemon peel looks interesting. I love sour things (I can eat lemon slices as it is. As a kid I always ate them after finishing drinks) and in Japan I always buy the yuzu peel.

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Oh wow Shinichi and Satoshi, I really loved this video, I love a good snack and those really looked so tasty, I would have had a great time trying all of these. I really love all of your food review videos they are just so much fun to see, and it is so great that Satoshi enjoyed them as well, and also was fun when he had a hard time with a few of them and you both were laughing. I hope that you have a great day and a great weekend coming up. Sending love and hugs, bye for now.🤗🤣💜

[@mauison]

This video could also be called Unique Snacks People Still Eat in Hawaii. Ha, ha! I also wonder why it's Creem and not Cream! When Aloha Airlines was still in existence, I was lucky enough to fly first class between islands and as a snack, they gave us the Cinnamon Toast, yum! When I eat lemon peel, my face looks just like Satoshi. I prefer li hing mui to lemon peel. Nibb-its still has a spicy kick to me, not very spicy but just enough to take notice. I think the best brand of arare is Tomoe Brand, but it's getting harder to find. I think the Enjoy brand is cheaper, so stores like Longs stock them instead of Tomoe. Great video!

[@titasmom678]

Creem crackers are supposed to have a creamy texture according to Google. But who knows why they spelled it that way 🤷🏻‍♀️. Loved nibbits as a kid. I don't think they taste the same as before. Different shape and I agree, not as spicy, but still would eat them if someone offered them to me. Ate fresh green mangoes with a shoyu, pepper, sugar dipping sauce...sometimes vinegar was added... don't tell Satoshi, he might runaway if you served him that dish! Thanks for bringing back memories to me. I look forward to Satoshi sharing his childhood snacks too!

[@ph43drus]

I'm late to the party but the Nibb-its look and texture remind me of "Andy Capp's hot fries" so that is a nostalgic teenage snack you have me looking for now.

[@pyamane8115]

Poor Satoshi! He's a good sport for someone who appears not to like sour foods.

[@Eduardo-us2zm]

I never thought of putting cheese on one of those cookies that is like a sweet cracker like the royal coconut royal creem crakces

[@ReinventYourself.]

Thanks for sharing an other stunning video , keep it up !

[@rachelolvera9435]

The look on Satoshi’s face on the cinnamon toast , “oh it has cinnamon “.

[@xyztia12]

We ate royal creems with butter and dunked in cocoa

[@perdomot]

Satoshi: This texture is...CINNAMON! LOL

[@carolynmcintosh8824]

Satoshi is so funny with the foods that have a ingredient he doesn't like..:)

[@janethata-yonezawa6296]

Have you tried the maebo's one ton cookies?

[@shannondore]

Your a good sport Satoshi.😆And Shinichi, you said you put rice crackers in popcorn as a kid well Trader Joe's sells a popcorn with rice crackers in it and they are so good. They're savory and taste like soy sauce and are so addictive. When I was a kid they had a gum called quick sand and it was a powder that you'd pour in your mouth and as you chewed it would become gum. It was one of my favorites but they took it off the shelves for some reason (probably choking hazard)

[@PREPFORIT]

Your nostalgic memories contain good snacks Shinichi ✔

[@markmatsuura8696]

Arare also more commonly called kakimochi

[@rachelolvera9435]

Satoshi doing the sour shudder

[@xyztia12]

We add furikake in popcorn with stare we call it hurricane popcorn

[@susansprouse1023]

Satoshi, you are so funny.

[@spiritedreviewexc]

well i never been to the isls, but my favorite treat from the ice cream truck would be a watermelon lolipop.

[@nomuramai]

lemon peel tastes better if you peel off the inside and just eat the skin part...and yes li hing tastes better!!!

[@pikakerose]

yummy yes brings memories. i liked saloon pilot from diamond bakery. i use the won ton chips on top of chinese chicken salad. enjoy brand kinda new i like tomoe ame sakura arare wow yick lung still around yes they made crack seeds. i like puff rice toong mai i used to buy in chinatown. lemon peel making my mouth water lol.jade makes great crack seeds too. next time but jade brand li hing powder great on fresh pineapple or oranges. yes we made our own homemade pickled mango. love satoshis expressions so funny

[@Eduardo-us2zm]

This is so nostalgic like trying the asian snacks people left as gifts and they taste weird and it's probably like 50 years old

[@pyamane8115]

I remember the royal creem crackers, but not coconut ones.

[@dr.corinaz7776]

Satoshi...this is torture😄😄😄

[@FieraMyst]

Apparently the Creem in those crackers has been spelt like that since day one of production, got curious and did a little looking for information, now I wonder why they did that, curious. XD

[@reginagibson3847]

Guava jelly on the crackers

[@shigemorif1066]

I’m not sure why, but instead of arare, we always called them kakimochi.

[@jujubi1050]

❤️❤️❤️

[@dbwatx931]

Doesn’t Arare mean Snow in Japanese?

[@mauison]

I had to look it up, but apparently it means "snow pellet".

[@CC-gv3bo]

Snow is "yuki" but when it's hail it's called "arare" because it resembles the Japanese snack in shape.

[@rachelolvera9435]

Snazzy dressed gentlemen

[@Eduardo-us2zm]

Inconsistent wonton chips are the worst

[@sherryillk]

I always thought those type of puffed rice snacks were Chinese actually... I definitely had them in my childhood but I was never very fond of them.

[@lbednaz]

Satoshi was a true champ! I felt so bad for him, you could tell how hard most of these foods were for him to eat!

[@terrydrown2900]

Nib its were spicier when we were kids and they were wider. Now they’re so thin.

[@RabbitsInBlack]

Those Lemon Strips have a lot of fake sugar in them. That would make them taste horrible. Then they add all those preservatives. What the hell?

[@cellesteh4510]

Yes the nibbits are not the same. The original flavor was better.
