Korean town in Japan. Let's eat around in Shin-Okubo. Samurai Junjiro channel. Hi, I'm Akane Maru, born and raised in Japan. Today, we are taking an eating tour to Shin-Okubo. Shin-Okubo is a popular Korean town in Japan. We'll introduce 6 stores, such as a store which has a waiting line and the newest store. Now, let's get started! Here we are at Shin-Okubo station. Shin-Okubo station is right next to Shinjuku station. It only takes about 2 minutes. It is also close to the biggest downtown in Japan, Kabukicho. Starting with the street around the station, Shin-Okubo has many many Korean stores. Shin-Okubo Korean Yokocho, which has been launched recently, is crowded with people. Before we eat around, let's go to the popular store in the back alley. Here! This is the most popular restaurant in Shin-Okubo, Delica Ondoru. It's so popular that there's always a waiting line during the weekends. We were lucky. There were seats available today, so we didn't have to wait. Before we eat, let's drink! We chose beer and an alcoholic drink of muscat grapes. Look at the glass! Characters of the restaurant! Cute! Cheers! Alright, let's order food! Let's have this one! In this restaurant, they serve 6 kinds of appetizers for free! You can even ask for more! It's fun we get to enjoy many kinds of flavors! Here comes the meal! We ordered sundubu, a spicy tofu stew. Looks hot and delicious! The smell of seafood and sesame oil is awesome! The soup is not too spicy. It's perfect! The broth of seafood is blended in with soup. As for the seafood, there are shrimps, squids, and asari clams. Tofu is fluffy and I'm addicted to it! As I go on, it's getting more and more spicy! There's an egg in it, so let's mix it and eat! It got creamy and more delicious! The flavor is so authentic! I feel like I'm in Korea! Okay, let's go on an eating tour! We are starting with bukkadan. In this store, you can eat tunkaran, which means fat macaron. They are all so cute! I can't choose! I chose cookie monster tunkaran. It looks exactly like him! In the Oreo flavored cream, there's a biscuit in between. The shell is moist and the cream is sweet. This is very delicious! It also has strawberry jam in it. The sweetness makes me so happy! Okay, let's go to the next store! The next store we'll take you is Snowy Village. It's a store where you can have a dessert that's popular now in Korea, in which ice cream is topped with chocolate flavored churros. Let's order the most popular dessert in this store! Here it comes! Soft serve ice cream is topped with freshly fried chocolate churros. The soft serve ice cream has a cocoa powder sprinkled. The ice cream has a rich flavor of milk. The cocoa powder is slightly bitter and is a good accent. It also has Oreo on. Cool! It goes perfectly with the cold ice cream. The chocolate churros are sweet and crispy. Hot chocolate churros have ice cream soaked in and are even more delicious. Delicious! It's a great dessert for a hot day in summer! The third store we'll show you is Gamaro Ganjang. It's a store where you can eat many kinds of popular Korean food. They have many items, but we'll have this Korean cheese corn dog. Let's put some ketchup on it. And the mustard as well. There! Ta-da! They cover cheese with potato batter and fry. The batter is covered with sugar and tastes sweet. The ketchup and mustard match with the potato batter so much. Let's eat it! Look at how long this cheese melts! There's plenty of mozzarella cheese in it. The crispy batter and creamy cheese is the best combination. Okay, let's head to the next store. The fourth store is this one, Jannong Yatai Mura. This store also has a cheese corn dog we had earlier, so we chose another popular item. There! This is Cheese Takajan. Fried chickens are seasoned with salty sweet sauce and topped with lots of cheese. The sauce smells sweet. The melting cheese makes the fried chickens more delicious. The chicken is tender and juicy. It has a strong taste, so it makes me want to drink. Let's go to the next store. The last one we'll show you is Happy Egg. It's a specialty store of egg sandwiches. It was opened three years ago and is so popular that it's often on TV and in magazines. Let's see how they cook. They're toasting the bread and frying the egg. So fluffy! Put some sauce on the bread and put the egg in. Then put the freshly grilled meat and egg in. Sprinkle some parsley and done! Let's eat! This is Bulgogi Egg, a sandwich with egg and beef seasoned with salty sweet flavor. The egg has lots of butter in it and is sweet. So fluffy! The sourness of sour cream sauce adds a nice accent to it. And the cheese matches with the egg. The salty sweet meat is so juicy. This is so filling. This single item would make me satisfied. There were so many fancy and delicious foods in Shin-Okubo. I felt like we actually took a trip to Korea. If there's any restaurant you'd like us to introduce, let us know in the comments.
