Transcript

Everything I ate in Tokyo as someone who's obsessed with food and trying the best spots to eat. First stop is the viral ube ice cream, which was so worth the hype. Japan's ice cream game is on another level. They also serve the creme brulee sweet potato, which was a 10 out of 10. There's matcha everywhere in Japan, but this spot had the most intense matcha flavored crepes you'll ever have. They also serve a pistachio flavored one. Henry's Better serves a Wagyu steak burger with a Wagyu patty. It is so delicious. I had the famous Japanese cheese buns. I wish I had a bit of chili, though. My favorite was the fatty tuna from the markets. They melted in your mouth. They were so good. They also serve these giant crab legs right next door. This place was not to be missed. You, of course, have to end with a strawberry daifuku.
