So the next week I'm living on the best 20 vending machines in Tokyo, Japan, starting
with number 20 of the 7-Eleven vending machine.
With having different types of sandwiches and even hot meal bento boxes, literally gourmet
food from a vending machine.
But if you found this cool, just wait until later in the video.
As with each machine, the experience and offering of the machines would get cooler and more
epic.
So for example, next we have the incredibly innovative shaved ice vending machine, where
after putting money in, a cup drops down, and then ice is freshly shaved, and then whatever
flavoring you want goes on top.
A strawberry snow cone has never tasted so fresh.
Or taking it up a level, we have the freshly made popcorn vending machine, where first
this robot arm type thing puts it into this box, and just like that, only one minute later,
the popcorn comes out.
Oh, caramel popcorn is the best.
And for number 17, we have a ramen noodle vending machine, and look at all of these
options here.
So we're going to get the classic.
Here it comes, oh my gosh.
Damn, I'm not going to lie to you guys, looking at this ramen right here, it's blowing my
mind.
So beyond delicious, and it's crazy because we have 16 more to go.
And you know, if I tried to live on vending machines for a week in any other country,
the options would be limited.
But here in Japan, it's the exact opposite, with for example, having a caviar vending
machine.
Like how is this possible?
Literally anything can be in a vending machine in Japan.
Now this machine also doubles as a mystery box machine, where with every order, you have
the chance to win a caviar tub worth up to 35,000 yen.
So crossing my fingers.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, so the moment of truth.
We have received 10 gram, we did not win this time.
So I got a nice little bellini here, making literally the best bite ever come in from
a vending machine.
And you know, you'd think the caviar machine would be the most luxurious one we could find.
But next we have an even crazier machine, the jewelry slash wedding ring vending machine.
Like there's necklaces here, wedding rings, what looks like gold bracelets, and just being
absolutely absurdly expensive.
With prices ranging from 9,900 yen all the way up to 1.4 million yen.
For wait for it, a completely solid gold, fashionable safety pin.
Like how is this machine here?
And also being open 24 hours a day.
I'm telling you, if this machine was in any other country but Japan, it might not be here
in a couple days.
And coming in at number 14, we have a cake UFO claw machine, where you can win any cakes
from a massive cheesecake, to chocolate cake, to strawberry cream cake, to so much more.
We are going for a cheesecake.
All right, down, down, down.
Not gonna lie, that wasn't even close.
Second try.
Down, oh, oh, oh, it's on it, it's on it, it's on it, it's on it, ow!
All right, ladies and gentlemen, this is our last try.
Come on, baby, this is the one.
Oh my gosh, oh, oh, ah.
Man, I really wanted to eat cake, ah.
Okay, next machine.
And it's not cake, but for number 13, we have a Baskin-Robbins vending machine, having all
these different types of flavors here.
And I've never had popping shower before, and I'm not really sure what that is, so we're
gonna go with that.
Which looks something like pistachio ice cream with some sort of like cereal in there.
Oh my gosh, wait a minute, those are Pop Rocks.
That is one crazy ice cream.
Now, in most countries, vending machines will look like this, having just your basic amount
of drinks inside.
But here in Japan, people get creative with, for example, at this small burger shop, having
a manual self-ran burger machine.
And just opening it up here, I gotta say, I am impressed by this burger.
Like coming at just $1, this burger is a beast.
And with the taste tasting similar to like a fast food, definitely maybe vending machine
burger.
But for $1?
Come on, this burger is absolutely unreal.
Now ladies and gentlemen, during this week, I thought I saw it all.
But coming down this alleyway, there's possibly the weirdest vending machine I've ever seen
of a freaking bug vending machine.
So I think, I mean, I gotta go with the scorpion.
Oh my gosh, what?
So we got our bottle of bug here.
Let's see how this thing looks inside.
Scorpion.
Scorpion, from a vending machine.
Who are you?
You wanna do the honors?
Yes.
Okay.
You got it.
Open it up.
I hope it's not alive, man.
You got it.
One, two, three.
Ah!
Oh my God.
Oh, that is so freaky.
They look like they're alive, like they were like jumping in there.
All right.
It's not bad.
It's surprisingly good.
Yeah.
The stinger didn't sting, you know?
Now, number 10 is when we take things up to an entirely new level, having an artisan pizza
vending machine.
You see, every day, a local pizzeria puts pizzas in this vending machine that are made
in a wood-fired method and with the goal of serving the best pizza from a vending machine
in the world.
And just like magic, there's my pizza.
And holy crap, would you just take a look at this pizza?
Like this pizza looks like it just came from a pizzeria itself, with having a beautiful
amount of cheese, sauce, but also having fresh basil on top and a crust that confirms
that this is a wood-fired pizza.
Oh my God.
I know I should find each machine cooler as we go, but I got to say this pizza, this,
this is truly insane.
Next, we have probably the most surprising vending machine thus far of a dating vending
machine.
And how this machine works is you have different bottles here where the pink cans represent
women and the white cans, men.
And on each of the cans here, it says the age of the person, what area of Tokyo they
live in and what their intentions are.
So for example, this person is a 58 year old man who would like to get married and lives
in the South of Tokyo in Ota city.
However, just like dating, this is only one type of person in this machine.
Like ages range in the machine from anywhere from 20 years old up into 80 years old and
with all different sorts of intentions.
And I want each person in this machine to actually go on a date with someone.
So I won't be buying one, but if I did, in the can is the number and also the picture
of the person.
Freaking unreal.
Anyway, number eight is perfect for if you connect with your date of the flower vending
machine.
And I mean, in this machine, you have literal bouquets of flowers.
Honestly, my first thought was these were maybe fake flowers, but if you look there,
there's roses in water, there's full on bouquets.
Oh my God.
So definitely the most beautiful thing I've ever gotten from a vending machine.
And next up, we have definitely the cheapest vending machine in the world of a 10 yen vending
machine.
So how this machine basically works is there's different buttons to choose from with no drink
list.
Just with each drink being 10 cents.
And the reason why it's 10 cents is because it's actually a mystery drink.
So let's put 10 cents in there and see which one we get.
Oh my gosh.
What do we have here?
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a Mr. Charcoal coffee drink, which I gotta say for 10 cents,
a drink has never tasted so good.
Now next for number six, we have a vending machine that literally says it can make your
dreams come true.
The mystery box vending machine, where you can win anything from a PS5 to an Insta 360
to Amazon gift cards to honestly, the list just seems to go on and on.
So how it works is you insert this money and then you select one of these buttons revealing
your prize.
I'm a little bit nervous here.
Just imagine we get a PS5.
Let's see what we got in this pretty large box here.
What is this thing?
A mountain range nature's multi-use product.
Honestly, of course I would have preferred getting a PS5, but this, this is awesome.
Now number five truly shows the epicness and variety of these vending machines.
Having a fried chicken, french fry, donut, fried octopus balls, and so much more vending
machines.
And honestly, everything looks so good that I'm definitely gonna have to go with a couple
of these.
Oh, that is so cool.
So ladies and gentlemen, we have one, two, and oh my gosh, no food was harmed in the
drop.
From the beautiful and delicious looking french fries, honestly look a lot better than I thought
they were going to.
Like these things are fully seasoned and look like freshly cut.
Next we have the beautiful fried chicken bites.
For a third dish we have takoyaki.
And honestly, after trying everything out here, if I was served this food and I didn't
know it was from a vending machine, honestly, I would have just thought it was from a restaurant.
But for number four, after taking a few days of searching, I found a cake vending machine
being the innovative cake in a can machine.
And there's a variety of different flavors from of course the strawberry cake, the cherry
cake, the chocolate cake, the matcha cake, the orange cake, and even cream and caramel
cake.
Oh my gosh, look at that.
Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?
That is such an efficient way of packing cake.
This right here, absolutely delicious.
But number three makes me feel like anything can come in one of these machines of having
a sushi vending machine.
Oh my gosh, if you just look in here, they have all different types of rolls.
From delicious looking eel sushi, to a conger fish roll, to an aniri roll, and all coming
at pretty affordable prices with the sushi starting at just 500 yen or $3.35.
Would you just take a look at these rolls of sushi?
Honestly, coming from the U.S. and getting sushi from a vending machine just feels straight
out weird.
But as we're in Japan, this comes at no surprise that this was both delicious but also fresh.
My mind is just being blown on these vending machines.
Now moving into number two, we have one of the most advanced machines I've ever seen.
First, you have to order your drink on this screen here.
So, for example, a matcha latte, and then you get your ticket right here, and then you
scan your QR code there, and then your order is sent to the freaking robot barista that
has a face.
Hello, Mr. Robot Dude.
What are you looking at, human?
I don't know why that freaked me out so much.
Anyway, first he grabs a cup with his robot arm, brings it all the way over to the drinks
machine, presses the button of the drink that you've selected, and then delivers the cup
over to this box, where honestly, when he's placing it in there right now, his robot arm
is starting to look a bit real here.
Thank you, Mr. Robot Dude.
The most seamless cafe experience of my life.
And now for number one, it was honestly ridiculously tough to choose, as Japan has a total of 3.97
million different vending machines.
With crazy options from a walkable Coca-Cola vending machine, to a Domino's self-driving
delivery machine, to even in the past, a Big Mac vending machine.
But for number one, I had to go with the world's largest vending machine, Food Court.
With this place having over a hundred different vending machines, spanning from anything from
food vending machines, to super cool retro vending machines, to just overall bizarre
and weird ones.
Making the experience while visiting this vending machine, Food Court slash park, like
no other experience I've ever had at a vending machine.
