Shibamata is located just outside the city center

but we're going to be focussing on one street in particular.

Now, I could've chosen other more popular neighborhoods

like Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza or Ikebukuro,

Angela An from the YouTube channel internationally ME

(ANGELA) Hi John!                          (JOHN) How are you today?

(ANGELA) I’m good. How are you? (JOHN) Very well.

So what do you think of this neighborhood?

(ANGELA) It’s really quiet and it has this traditional

(JOHN) Yeah! That’s the one thing I love about Shibamata.

(JOHN) Shibamata is a quiet town located 20 to 30 minutes away

It's like taking a trip back 50 years to Japan's Showa period.

Most shops are still mom & pop run businesses.

(JOHN) Wow! What an incredible street, isn’t it?

(JOHN) Hungry?       (ANGELA) Really hungry!

(JOHN) Let’s get some street food! (ANGELA) Let’s go!

(JOHN) Angela and I split up for a bit with Angela striking first.

(ANGELA) One Dora Ice Cream Sandwich, please. (SHOPKEEPER) Sure!

(JOHN) This is the “Aisu no Dora" or Dora Ice Cream Sandwich.

The shop makes the pankcake ends to the sandwich

Two pancakes, red bean paste and green tea ice cream.

It’s really just traditional dorayaki — with ice cream.

it tones down the sweetness so it’s really nice.

And it’s great with the ice cream inside for a hot day.

(JOHN) Angela seems quite happy with her first choice.

A fresh roll cake filled with delicious cream.

All it takes is one bite, and I'm off to cloud nine.

Here’s the full sized roll cake at this shop.

The cake is only slightly buttery with a little powdered sugar

Here’s a local senbei, or rice cracker maker, across the street.

Angela approaches like a hungry lion on the hunt.

and the price is certainly not going to bankrupt you.

Senbei are coated with soy sauce for saltiness,

sometimes with an ingredient inside, like sesame.

(ANGELA) I’ll take one of these, please.

go straight for the one coated in sugar for ¥50.

So it’s got shoyu base (it's a soy sauce base),

(JOHN) …and that never ending senbei crunch!

It’s not too sweet, even though it’s covered with sugar,

because it’s got the shoyu undercoating.

You’ve got to try them all to find out.

Here’s the normal soy sauce-coated senbei, hot from the grill.

So, it’s harder than the last one … it’s a lot… um...
