  • (light music)

  • - So we've been living in Japan for almost four years now

  • but most of our videos are around the Tokyo area

  • and we don't really get to explore Kyoto enough.

  • - So when we got an email from The Mimaru Hotel being like,

  • "Do you guys wanna come out to Kyoto and stay in our hotel

  • "and explore our neighborhood?" we were like

  • (funky violin music)

  • - Of course! - Heck yes!

  • - So today we're gonna show you a little video

  • about what we like to do in 48 hours in Kyoto.

  • (jazzy bass music)

  • - So we're at Takagi Coffee and this isn't one of those

  • places that we normally recommend, where we're like,

  • it's modern, it's new, it's got this, it's got that.

  • No, it just feels like a kind of local, comfortable, diner.

  • The kind of place that I go to on like Saturdays and

  • Sundays with my best friend Jackie.

  • And it was like a little greasy spoon where they would make

  • just like eggs and things that you could make at home.

  • - This isn't a modern cafe, I think the aesthetic stopped

  • at like 1978.

  • - They opened in 1976, so--

  • - Really, that's it, they kept the same vibe

  • It has an awesome vibe.

  • - Lovely.

  • - There's a lot of smoking in here

  • a lot of salary men here also but it's got a good

  • kind of home diner feel to it.

  • - And I also love the fact that it feels extremely polite.

  • When you go to visit diners in North America

  • there's almost like a joke feeling of people being like,

  • "What do you want," and there's like cigarettes falling

  • into your food and you're like "It's gonna taste great."

  • Here's the opposite, everyone's polite and lovely

  • and wearing really beautiful uniforms and bow ties.

  • It's just like going back to a polite time period.

  • - Nobody's been rude to me yet, like where's the sass?

  • Where's the attitude?

  • I ordered, you're not allowed to have any of this.

  • - Okay.

  • - I ordered the hot dog set because I know when you see it

  • you're gonna be like damn I wanna try some.

  • - I ordered omurice and a comforting omurice.

  • This sounds like it's gonna be amazing.

  • - This place seems like the perfect place to get an omurice.

  • - Yeah, I know.

  • (sensual music)

  • - Martina got the omurice set, I thought I'd be adventurous

  • and try the hot dog set.

  • - Yes, what did you get?

  • - I mean, I got a hot dog bun with four different wieners

  • in here and some gravy put on it and some iceberg lettuce

  • and a fork.

  • How do I eat a hot dog with a fork?

  • Mmmmm.

  • - Is it a sausage, is it a hot dog?

  • The world needs to know Simon.

  • - It's not bad.

  • (laughing)

  • I'm actually disappointed that it's not bad,

  • I was expecting this to be a lot worse.

  • - And you're European so you're quite picky.

  • - [Simon] So one of the reasons we're recommending

  • this place is because we found a lot of coffee shops

  • don't really open that early.

  • A lot of them open around 10 a.m.,

  • and if you're coming here and your jet lagged and your awake

  • at seven, come here, get some decent coffee.

  • It's got toast and it's got sausage. (laughing)

  • - Everything you want from a diner in Japan.

  • - It is pretty smokey here.

  • - All right tally-ho snuffmuffler, we're leaving.

  • - Stop trying to make snuffmuffler happen,

  • it's not going to happen

  • - Could be snuffmuffler.

  • (enchanted music)

  • Now this is gonna be, you know, high level of hipster

  • Martina coming out here, but one of the things that we

  • really love to do in Kyoto is to just get lost in very

  • noisy intersections because that's real life and for real.

  • You just wander around and it's very different than being in

  • Tokyo because the buildings don't go extremely high

  • which means you can't see past all the streets.

  • So you'll be walking

  • and then you just turn a corner and you go,

  • "Oh my god, there's like a little temple here."

  • And it's like this little tiny bit of ancient Japan nestled

  • in between an apartment building lump a modern motorcycle.

  • So I really have to say just get lost in Kyoto between

  • destinations when you're walking.

  • If it's raining, if it's snowy,

  • you're gonna find something amazing.

  • (lofi music)

  • Well this place was extremely difficult to find.

  • - [Simon] It's not on the main street, it's hidden behind a

  • parking lot.

  • But this place right here, Weekenders,

  • is a gem of a coffee shop.

  • - Also, I'd like you to notice Exhibit A,

  • Dan if you could just pan around here to, yup

  • - When we recommend places for you,

  • these aren't easy to find, these are hidden special gems.

  • And this coffee here is really damn good.

  • - [Martina] I know it's great.

  • - [Simon] I'm really enjoying this latte.

  • - [Martina] The espresso is beautiful.

  • - It's built out of this old looking house and they have

  • really modern style espresso drinks.

  • You know, with like the clean glass looks and...

  • - I know what you're trying to say.

  • - Well what's that aesthetic called, is there a name for it?

  • (upbeat music)

  • - We went for one coffee shop which was like old-school

  • diner feel and now we're going to a place that is updated

  • and modern, doing hand drip coffee.

  • I'm sure you're looking a sexy food porn shots of this

  • as we speak.

  • (lofi music)

  • (bubbly music)

  • Tanuki.

  • I think I like swings so much because I don't feel my body

  • on a swing.

  • Tanukis.

  • (light music)

  • - I'm very excited for this place here, this is

  • Gontaro Okazaki.

  • My friend who's a super otaku for udon,

  • he loves udon more than anything else, said that we have to

  • eat at this place here in Kyoto because

  • not all udon is the same.

  • Tokyo udon and Kyoto udon

  • have very different tastes. - Different beasts.

  • - I think one of the things about Japan that's no neat

  • is that you feel like you might know one area really well.

  • Perhaps you've been here a couple times and you're like,

  • "Oh I know Japan I don't need to have udon again."

  • But you do because every region just has something so

  • lightly different.

  • - Kind of like how Texas mexican food and L.A. mexican

  • food is very different Mexican food.

  • The udon here is gonna taste much different than what we're

  • used to, gonna call it you-don.

  • - You might've called it you-don

  • - The you-don, here comes our beer.

  • - Cold beer.

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • - Hai.

  • - Isn't this lovely?

  • - They just got such a nice outfit on.

  • - Yeah.

  • - Simon's like I didn't notice because I'm a boy.

  • - No, I noticed!

  • - Did you see her shoes?

  • - That I didn't notice, I have never noticed a woman's

  • shoes, that's not just because I'm a man, it's because I'm

  • so tall that from the distance you can't see peoples feet.

  • - From a distance, you guys can't see this but we keep

  • distracting and looking over because the sun is setting.

  • And it's cutting through these clouds behind us

  • and we just had a sun shower where we heard the rain

  • glittering down upon the trees beside us,

  • I'm like this is nonsense. - Right above us.

  • We got the mosquitoes nibbling our ankles below us.

  • - Nibbling gently at our ankles

  • - We got this beautiful house here.

  • - What a nice balmy, 33 degree, October 1st.

  • Kampai!

  • (funky music)

  • Itadakimasu - Itadakimasu

  • - I'm going in for my shrimp

  • - Oh look at that.

  • Beautiful, steamy noodles. (slurps)

  • So this here is a tentoji udon, this is a Kyoto specialty.

  • It's tempura udon with scrambled egg on top.

  • The egg is super soft and silky and it just has a very home

  • cooking kind of feel to it, yum!

  • This is so different.

  • - [Martina] So good.

  • - Wow, so much sweeter, the noodles when it comes

  • to Kyoto udon are a lot softer.

  • From what I've been told

  • you're not supposed to chew them as much as it's supposed to

  • have a good throat feel.

  • There's a Japanese word for it that I don't know.

  • Also the broth is super sweet compared to what Tokyo

  • broth is like.

  • It's not like candy but it just tastes a lot sweeter.

  • - They do like mirin or when they do miso soup it always

  • seems to fall a little bit on the just sweeter side.

  • - [Simon] Yeah.

  • - But the throat feel thing, it's a real thing.

  • You just put it in your mouth and then you swallow the

  • noodles whole and it's supposed to be soft enough that you

  • can do that, one shot, no chewing.

  • - How'd that feel?

  • - Felt very warm.

  • - It's very warm.

  • - I still feel a whole warm mass of udon noodles making--

  • - You feel the warm as it works it's way down your throat.

  • - I feel it warming, yes I do.

  • - There you go. - Yes.

  • - This house to me feels almost kind of like a smaller

  • version of that Kyoto Kitcho house we went to.

  • This feels like we're part of a different land right now.

  • This doesn't feel like Tokyo whatsoever.

  • - Can't hear you over the sound of the truck.

  • - I said it feels like we're part of a different land.

  • - Oh I see.

  • - It's very

  • - Tranquil

  • - Very historic.

  • (low funky beat)

  • Never really knew that you could dance like this

  • She makes a man wants to speak Spanish

  • Como se llama, bonita, mi casa, su casa

  • Shakira Shakira

  • - You see how it looks?

  • Just testing out the camera angles, this is the kind of

  • difficult thing, you have to figure out when filming.

  • - Especially with me because I'm a big boy, I shake

  • everything when I move.

  • - Oh my god Simon, how are you doing that?

  • When I walk around I'm just like

  • din-din-din-din-din-din

  • and you're like nein-nein-nein.

  • See look at this.

  • - I'm a big boy.

  • - We've been through this before,

  • look at my eye level, nips.

  • - Stop staring at the nips, you pervert.

  • - You're so pervert I can pick you up and squeeze--

  • - [Martina] Bork bork, bork bork.

  • Oh no, snuffmuffler's angry

  • - [Simon] Bork bork.

  • - Come here big snuffmuffler.

  • Good job, snuffmuffle.

  • Little muffler of snuffs.

  • Oh yeah, get on top, hi-yah!

  • So we're going to be sticking in today and just making

  • like a nabe hot-pot miso because there's a kitchen in our

  • hotel room and you know that we're really into cooking.

  • So there's like tons of stuff you have to do after vlogging

  • and unloading and dumping and everything sounds like

  • a washroom joke but since I'm in Kyoto I'm gonna kind of

  • indulge in the local miso.

  • It's so easy to make a hot-pot

  • so unfortunately there's a lot of stuff that's sold out

  • already, boredom.

  • So I'm gonna grab this one and anything I

  • don't finish I can really just bring back with me because

  • I live a couple hours away by Shinkansen.

  • So let's get the ingredients for hot-pot

  • and let's get back to the hotel

  • and cook, I might even put on a face mask, who knows.

  • Just gonna look crazy and getting a bottle of wine, mhm.

  • I think this five dollar wine will suffice for my recipe

  • of putting wine in my mouth. (laughing)

  • So we're gonna use these little Blendy hand drips so I can

  • snobishly hand pour coffee over the world's tiniest filter.

  • (happy music)

  • This is shredded ginger,

  • I think it makes everything taste great

  • and I'm also gonna get...

  • And we need to get eggs for breakfast

  • What, huh, how did I end up inside of the

  • instant cup ramen aisle.

  • I think we've got everything let's get going, Simon's

  • uploading all the footage.

  • I'm hungry as heck.

  • To the hotel room.

  • (light music)

  • Okay, you ready?

  • Hey, I'm Martina and welcome to Martina's midnight munchies

  • for real because it's really late.

  • That's it, that was done very properly.

  • We are pretty hungry but we had an intense day.

  • We're too tired to leave anymore

  • and we love places that have

  • kitchens, as you know, you've seen a lot of our videos where

  • we cook.

  • So I'm gonna make a miso hot pot as I mentioned

  • earlier in the grocery store.

  • Simon is doing tons of stuff.

  • Come on over and see this area.

  • This is our little Japanese tatami mat area.

  • Simon is working very hard we have

  • so much to import and because we shoot in 4K, it takes a

  • long time.

  • And there's even these awesome

  • I want this place to look like "Kill Bill" doors.

  • Ready for this, it just feels immediately like...

  • What the, what the heck.

  • Ducky, do you want wine?

  • - [Simon] I would love some wine.

  • - They actually have a wine opener but no need because

  • it's a twist off cap.

  • Dan do you want a glass of wine?

  • - [Dan] How am I going to hold this glass of wine?

  • - Well, you should see the video that I did when Simon made

  • pierogies with his parents.

  • I was both a camera woman and wine drinking connoisseur.

  • Seriously, you guys know what I'm

  • talking about, that's right.

  • The whole video you see my hand

  • come out and Mr. Stawski will pour me more wine and I

  • would bring it behind the camera.

  • It just got better and better as the video went on.

  • The five dollar, I mean, $50 wine is very expentual.

  • - I have finally imported everything and I finally

  • synchronized the audio and now I just gotta do some

  • color correction.

  • - Boo.

  • Boring.

  • Basically a nabe is super simple, you're building a dashi

  • base, which I've made a lot of videos on explaining how to

  • make that soup base.

  • Conveniently Japan often sells a lot of

  • these pre made packs, I'm gonna add this into the pot.

  • You guys can see it's just like granules.

  • This is instant dashi.

  • If you smell it, you smell it Dan?

  • Oh, he went in for a deep smell, yeah that's...

  • - [Dan] It smells like the sea.

  • - It smells like the sea.

  • Don't worry if you're not super precise its not gonna be the

  • end of the world for your soup.

  • The veggies, you're add a lot more water as well.

  • So I don't wanna like over water things.

  • (upbeat music)

  • If you guys are cooking fans name it, ready?

  • Now I'm going to whip the butter.

  • (crickets chirping)

  • Eh, Simon?

  • Eh?

  • - [Simon] Oh, that's Gordon Ramsey.

  • (sad music) (gun shooting)

  • (lofi music)

  • - Hey, thanks for making this great dinner,

  • Ducky this looks so amazing.

  • - No problem.

  • Mmm. - Mmm.

  • This is so much of a creamier, milkier--

  • - Yeah, it's creamy right.

  • - It almost tastes like a tonkotsu.

  • - Yeah, I was really tempted to add a little of the soy

  • milk because that's what makes it creamier.

  • - Wow.

  • - And this is just like a couple of ingredients,

  • this would be better with more things in it.

  • Like little hot pepper flakes on top.

  • - I think when you're coming to Kyoto you can definitely

  • think about all the restaurants you can go to, but Kyoto

  • also has really good produce that's unique to Kyoto.

  • Like this Kyoto miso and if you have a kitchen

  • that you can cook in then you can try some of it out.

  • I highly recommend it because this is so different

  • than what you usually make and I'm really happy.

  • - I don't wanna sound like a TV commercial but it was so

  • easy all I did was just toss it all in the pot.

  • Tomorrow morning let's have a good solid breakfast,

  • I saved a little bit of the stuff so that we can maybe do

  • some scrambled chicken meatball eggs and stuff like that.

  • And we got your pickles, call it a night

  • and see what kind of adventures we can go on later.

  • - Mmmm.

  • (drums beating)

  • (sizzling)

  • Finally, I get to try the pickles that

  • I've been so excited about.

  • - [Martina] You want like a pickle bowl or like a...

  • - Nah, I'm just gonna unceremoniously dunk them on top of my

  • beautiful TKG.

  • - [Martina] Really?

  • - Oh yeah.

  • (slurping)

  • Oh.

  • (percussive music)

  • I'm not sure if you can hear me over the roaring of your

  • stomachs or the roaring of this water but we're about to go

  • to an amazing chocolate shop, for real.

  • This place is really good.

  • - I know that this is not something you'd think of when you

  • come to Kyoto.

  • Two years ago, on one of our trips, we found

  • this place by accident in the winter time and we had the

  • warmest cup of delicious hot chocolate.

  • And then we wandered down this area which is like

  • a really beautiful area to take

  • photos so were gonna get some chocolate, were gonna recreate

  • that whole thing.

  • (light music) (children laughing)

  • - Looks at these beautiful, old, Chinese tins.

  • These are great gifts for you to give to yourself.

  • Forget about friends and family.

  • You deserve this.

  • You've been a good boy or a good girl.

  • You deserve the chocolate.

  • Okay, this seems like the most adult thing.

  • Adult, I don't know.

  • I just feel like so wrong for doing this

  • but I'm gonna do it anyways.

  • You get these beautiful little tins right here

  • and then you can fill them up with

  • the chocolates around here.

  • Look at this, are you ready?

  • Let's get a shot of this.

  • How does this even work?

  • - Shit.

  • - [Simon] You got it? - [Dan] I got it , I got it.

  • Oh yeah, triple chocolate toffee, are you kidding me?

  • Oh my god, look at how retro this is.

  • Steampunk chocolate.

  • - Are we gonna be broke after this?

  • - No.

  • - This is like what you do when you get bulk candy and then

  • it's like that'll be $80 and your soul.

  • Did you get the chip malt balls?

  • I definitely want some mint chip malt balls.

  • - Oh, so first you're like don't do this and now you want

  • some of these.

  • Double chocolate bacon pretzel.

  • Lots of great words on their own

  • together, they sound a lot better.

  • - [Martina] That's enough sir

  • - Should this be enough?

  • - Think about your diet.

  • - I'm doing this for the video.

  • There you go.

  • - We've done a terrible thing.

  • It's okay this is good omiyage.

  • - Right, we had to get some gifts for our neighbors.

  • - Yes, we're not going to eat this later on in the

  • hotel room at nighttime.

  • - Right.

  • (whimsical music)

  • - Now not only is this a chocolate shop, which is like,

  • I think, reason enough to come visit it.

  • It's located near Gion Shijo Ecchi

  • which is like a really popular area that kinda bridges over

  • the Kyoto River and if you turn the corner

  • you're so close by really beautiful old school Kyoto.

  • There's gorgeous rivers, there's cranes,

  • you can see people dressed up in kimonos,

  • either their renting them.

  • You can even see real life geishas walking around.

  • Get a bit artsy, find yourself a corner and a hot beverage

  • and just kinda camp out and wait for Kyoto magic to happen.

  • (door squeaking)

  • - Or you can just sit here and eat chocolate.

  • Forget about he art, eat some chocolate.

  • - Are you saving any of those for me?

  • - This is your mint one that you wanted.

  • - Are you about to eat it?

  • Don't you!

  • Spit it out!

  • - There's one more left for you.

  • - There's only two?

  • - Your one is gross.

  • - He only got two and he ate one of them.

  • This is a mint malt ball.

  • Oh my god.

  • - I am gonna get a tummy ache.

  • (mystical music)

  • Okay, so we have a bit of a story with this next place

  • that I want to recommend.

  • Two years ago,

  • when we were in Kyoto, we went to this ramen shop right by

  • Kyoto station that's supposedly really famous.

  • Well, not supposedly, it is very famous.

  • The lines are always huge.

  • Guys, I can't tell you how excited I am for this.

  • We are going for what our ramen otaku friends

  • say is the best shoyu ramen in all of Japan.

  • In all of Japan!

  • - So we're in Kyoto for this.

  • - Yes.

  • - And if you look around right now, literally,

  • there's an apartment, there's a bridge.

  • - There's nothing. - Nothing.

  • - But it's literally 11:30 at night and we are in a line.

  • - I'm scared what if we don't like it?

  • - Our friends say that they literally travel to Kyoto

  • just for this ramen.

  • - They take the bullet train, two and a half hours,

  • ate the ramen and then go home.

  • - It's that good, and I'm worried what if

  • I don't like it as much.

  • Will they still be friends with me?

  • - I mean, we're gonna like it no matter what.

  • We just may not love it.

  • I don't know what to expect.

  • - I'm so nervous.

  • We went there, we waiting in line and we shot a video.

  • And you know, we really didn't love it at the time.

  • But I thought it's been two years, I've grown

  • and I've developed, I started liking pickles.

  • Why don't I try this ramen shop one more time.

  • So I waited in line for like 40 minutes,

  • just to give this place a second chance and sweet Jesus

  • I'm so glad that I did.

  • This ramen is absolutely fucking amazing.

  • The broth is so delicious,

  • the noodles are just so lovely,

  • just the texture,

  • the bites, everything about them,

  • it's so good.

  • Amazing.

  • This is worth waiting in line half an hour for.

  • Go right by Kyoto Station, it's called Daichi Asahi Ramen.

  • You have to go.

  • That's it, over and out.

  • Thank you for listening to my TED talk.

  • Now back to the rest of the video.

  • (lofi music)

  • I had a wonderful night.

  • I had amazing ramen and then I came home and ate the rest

  • of the chocolates.

  • I even got to share one with you.

  • - [Martina] You know what, that was not fair because

  • I didn't come with you for ramen, and you smashed that

  • entire thing of chocolate.

  • I didn't have any, I had one I think.

  • - And then I had a great sleep, this is probably like our

  • fourth or fifth time in Kyoto, and this is the only time

  • I've actually really loved the bed that I have slept in.

  • - [Martina] Yeah, no, I really enjoyed the bed too

  • and that's great for me.

  • - I'm very comfortable in this place,

  • we got a kitchen, we got laundry,

  • we can just live here forever.

  • (Martina laughing)

  • Thank you Mimaru Hotel for bringing us out to Kyoto

  • and thank you for watching this video and for learning some

  • great places you can go on your trip when you come to Kyoto.

  • Ain't that right Kogi, you're my pig now too.

  • (Martina grunts)

  • Goodbye everybody.

  • Wee, I need my own travel pig.

  • - [Martina] We'll call him Bogi.

  • - You're my travel pig come here let me hug you.

  • Let me squeeze you.

  • No, the big piggy behind the camera, come on.

  • (Martina grunts)

  • Come on, you and me girl.

  • I'm gonna squeeze you.

  • I'm gonna hug you and squeeze and love you forever.

  • Thank you for watching this very long video of ours.

  • We have a lot more footage, in fact, Martina made an entire

  • midnight munchies out of that dinner.

  • That's gonna be up in a couple of days.

  • Make sure you click on the link here, otherwise,

  • if you want some extra scenes or some bloopers

  • we got those here so click on that.

  • Thank you everybody, we'll see you again soon.
