(upbeat music)

- I know very little about Japanese desserts.

- I love desserts.

- Japanese culture tends to be very detailed in what they do.

- Very detailed.

- So I'm expecting these to be hella pretty.

- So pretty.

- Hella cute.

- Aww. - Oh my gosh.

- This is too frickin' cute.

- [Both] Aww.

- I want the green one.

- Oh, okay.

I wanted this one, so congratulations.

- Can we look at this detailing?

Like they have the seeds in the middle of the flower.

- The texture from the mochi, and inside you get like that red bean coming in, it's like nice and sweet.

- This is great.

- Very good.

- You know, it just had so much care and so much tradition.

- Yeah, and the color in yours.

(sighing)

- Oh shit.

- Yes.

- These look cool.

- This is the cutest thing I've ever seen.

- This smells kind of savory.

- Right, it's soy sauce-y.

- Yeah, it smells like soy sauce, it's a little bit savory.

- It tastes like pancakes.

- It does taste like pancake.

- Like a really good pancake.

- I don't care for this one as much.

- Wait, this is really good.

- I'm so into this.

It's sweet, but it's also got like this hint of saltiness, so it balances it all out.

- What's that?

(gasps)

- Oh. - Shit.

- It's flubber.

(both squealing)

- I don't want my human-ness to destroy this artistry.

- This would be a great Boomerang.

- (smacking lips) Oh, it's great.

- It's just the right amount of sweetness.

And it's light, so it's not like too overwhelming to your palette.

- Yeah, it tastes like wealth.

Like I literally just got like $2.5 million in my bank, and I'm gonna treat myself to fancy food.

- [Together] Ooh.

- They layers, the detail.

- The bones.

- It looks like a jello cake.

- Aw, it's a bird.

It's a Twitter bird.

- Do you see a bird?

I see a bird.

- I see a bird and a sun.

Woo, I don't know, I hit something and it was delicious.

- It has like a very firm gelatinous feel, unlike the gelatin.

- But then once you bite into it, it just softens immediately.

- It breaks apart, yeah.

- The agar part is definitely very gelatin-y.

- Yeah.

- Like imagine a very thick jello.

- I'm just not a jello lady.

- I feel like we're sleeping here in the U.S. on our dessert game.

- All of these candies were delicious.

- To me, every one was like a different lover.

- I think a lot of times we can get a dessert, especially with cakes fondant and stuff, where it looks really cool, but it doesn't really taste very good.

- Honestly, that dango, I think it changed my life.

- Ooh yes, same.

- It was so good.
