  • Hey guys!
    Spring is here and that means the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and its time for HANAMI season - in Japan people LOVE gathering under the sakura blossoms to enjoy drinking with family, friends, and even co-workers!
    The Hanami Cherry Blossom Festival in Nakameguro has some of the best street food available too - so I thought I'd grab a few bites to eat before meeting up with the wife at the park to enjoy spring the Japanese way! ITADAKIMASU!

    Seemed like a shorter video 🤔 Cannot blame you considering all the off camera live action FUN to be enjoyed at such festivals! 😅 Do they also have live music as we have in Sakura festivals in America? We have the 2 largest Sakura tree parks in America in Newark, NJ and Washington DC, with one located a 2.5 mile Jog from my home! 🤩👍 Did you enjoy listening to local bands playing traditional Japanese music or were there traditional dances? How about taiko drums?

    Karaage beats any fried chicken I've had. Did Angela get any takoyaki or was it consumed before you got to her? You eat takoyaki much more wisely than Dr. Broad, btw. Has this been the most photo bombed video you've made or what? It's good to see Japanese adults acting like kids, lol. Again, you two are an adorable couple! Someday, I hope to see the cherry blossoms in person. I'm looking forward to seeing Ladybeard in the next video.

    I love this festival atmosphere! The busy stalls add so much life to the area. Street food festivals aren't really a thing here in the UK outside of big cities, unfortunately. Also, I guess festivals are an exception, but doesn't Japan have some really weird rules about eating outside or something?

      @@JunkFoodJapan not really sure what they are called in japan, but it wasn't about sports i believe. In the show i watched it was like more like they built displays(such as art exhibits for clubs) and stalls (sometimes food stalls). It seemed like the school is open to the public, because they had visitors who were outsiders to the school. Sorry if I'm not being helpful.
