These are my top sweet spots in Harajuku!

今回は原宿スウィーツスポットを紹介すっぞ

[intro]

今日は原宿に来てるぞ

So I'm back in Harajuku, I've actually done a sweets video a long long time ago

すっげー前に原宿のスウィーツの動画を作ったけど

But I haven't done one recently and a lot has changed in this area

So I wanted to take you around in this video and show you all of my new sweet spots

All right, let's do this!

よっしゃ！始めようぜ

Oh Harajuku. It used to be the capital of kawaii fashion and crepes but times are a-changing and this is the new

あぁ、原宿！ 昔はKAWAIIファッションとクレープの街だったけど

Harajuku, a popular destination area for the trendiest sweet shops from all over Japan

時を経て、今こんな感じ

and even the world. So pack your toothbrushes for this one, because we're going deep into the streets of

日本中、世界中から最新のスウィーツスポットが 集まる場所なんだ

Harajuku and you just might get a cavity

今回は歯ブラシを準備しとけよ

Hey Wolfy

原宿中のスウィーツを食い尽くすからな！

So today is take your son to work day!

虫歯になっちまうかも

This actually won't be his first time going out with me

ウルフィー！

But it's not too much of an extension because we take this walk every morning so he's kind of used to it

今日は職場に子供を連れてくる日

The only thing a little bit different is we're going to be eating today!

ウルフィーがオラの撮影についてくるのは 今日が初めてなんだ

I usually eat all of this in one day, but I don't know if we'll be able to actually handle that

ま、でも普段とそんなに変わらなねぇか

So yeah, we'll just see how it goes! So when you first come to Harajuku

毎朝、散歩に行くから 慣れてるっちゃ慣れてるな

Many people head up to Takeshitadori, but as a local I prefer to hit up cat street as it has more of a chill street vibe

一個違うとしたら 今日はいっぱい食べるってこと

So let's start here. Quick tip, closest station is meiji jingu maya station

普段だったら一日で全部食うんだけど

Alright, let's start with the Harajuku basics, big fluffy puffy pancakes!

ウルフィーが一日耐えられるか わからねぇから

Number one. Mikasa deco in cafe hidden in the backside of castrate this spot attracts Patreons of all ages for its clumpy jiggly pancakes.

様子を見ながらやってくぞ

Usually it has a long line outside, especially on the weekends

原宿に観光に来る人は 大体竹下通りに向かうんじゃねーかな

But you know how it is these days. So I ordered their signature Ricotta cheese infused pancakes

オラは個人的にキャットストリートが好き

It comes with three fluffy style pancakes piled up with classic toppings butter whipped cream and a flavorful maple syrup

もっと落ち着いてるし ストリートっぽい雰囲気があるから

Look at these nice fluffy three layered pancakes. Oh, let me just

だからここから始めようぜ 最寄りの駅は明治神宮前駅だぞ

Take some of this

よっしゃ、まずは原宿の基本のキ

Dip it in look at that

フワフワのパンケーキからだ

That's like biting into a cloud it's amazing

この店はキャットストリートの裏道にあるぞ

So what sets this pancake apart is not only is it fluffy?

ここのフワフワぷるぷるのパンケーキは あらゆる年代の人を惹きつけて人気なんだ

But it's actually made with Ricottata cheese inside. So it has kind of like a nice cheesy

いつもは外に長い列ができてんだけど

Pancake flavor you can see the Ricotta cheese

特に週末はな

Right there

でも最近はコロナの影響で そうでもねぇかな

That's a very strong maple syrup makes it super sweet but the pancake itself just nice and fluffy

オラがオーダーしたのは、看板メニューの リコッタチーズパンケーキ

But it has kind of like a nice density to it as well because of the Ricotta cheese. I also ordered a puffin

フワフワのパンケーキが三つ重なってて

It's a perfect mix of fluffy pancakes and muffin tasting texture-wise. I would say it's most like a fluffy pancake shaped into a muffin

トッピングはクラシックに、バター、 ホイップクリームに香り高いメープルシロップだ

Would want a muffin when you can get a puffin you can see that it's a fluffier than a normal

フワッフワのパンケーキが三つも

Muffin and look at that. I just dolloped everything there dripping

フォークに刺して、、

Oh!

ソースをつけてっと

What an explosion of flavors in my mouth?

まるで雲を食ってるみてぇだ サイコー

So I had to get Wolfie out. It looks like he's just as hungry as me right now

ここのパンケーキの他店との違いはさ

I really enjoy that nice sourness of the raspberry

中にリコッタチーズが入ってるんだ

Then you have the cream on top of it and some of this powdered sugar

チーズの風味がなんとも言えねぇ

Number two Snowy Village. Snowy Village is a Korean style shaved ice shop that uses fresh rich milk and tops their treats with an

ほら、リコッタチーズが見えるだろ？

Overwhelming portion of fresh fruits and sides cookie so cute

メープルシロップの味が濃くて甘くてうまい

So I ordered their luscious fresh mango shaved ice on top

パンケーキ自体はフワフワなだけじゃなくて

There's whipped cream and an absurd amount of fresh mangoes and a mango sauce poured over it

しっかりした感じもするんだ

Look at this mountain of joy

リコッタチーズのおかげかな

It is literally as big as my head look at that. You have the mangoes and then there you have the shaved ice.

パフィンもオーダーしたぞ

And these pieces of mangoes are nice that you have almost like some mango syrup on it as well I just love how

フワフワパンケーキとマフィンが ちょうどよく合体したやつ

Flaky the ice is you just get it so nice and fine almost looks like little pieces of shaved coconut just melts

味とテクスチャーはパンケーキに近くて

In your mouth you can taste a little bit like sweetened milk in the ice as well. Just below it. You have some more mango

形がマフィンって感じかな

Number three. Mizuho just a few minutes from Mikasa Deco and cafe

パフィンがあるのに マフィンが欲しがる奴なんているんか？

this Japanese confectionery shop specializes in mame daifu

普通のマフィンより断然柔らかい

In fact, it's been crowned by locals as part of the Tokyo big three for mommy daifu

口の中で味が広がる！

Alright, we got it

ウルフィーが限界だったみてぇだ

Look at that right there, look at all of that powder coming off my fingers. Oh!

オラと同じくらい腹減ってたのかな

Powder all over my lips. The mochi itself is just so soft and the anko inside is just super silky

ラズベリーの酸味がすげぇいい

It has the sweetness to it

上にはホイップクリームがのってる

but it also has kind of like a saltiness at the same time kind of like a blend of

パウダーシュガーも降ってある

different like flavors a very well put together sweet you can see it has the mochi outer shell you can see inside that has a

SNOWY VILLAGEは韓国式かき氷のお店

Cochin has these little beans that are inside of the mochi

新鮮で濃厚な牛乳を使ってて

Skin itself. This is a pure like old school traditional Japanese sweets

フレッシュフルーツがたっぷり乗ってるのが特徴だ

So if you don't have a flavor for Japanese sweets, then it might be a little bit too

こいつ可愛いぞ

How do you say elegant or too old school for you?

オラがオーダーしたのはマンゴーのかき氷

It's not like sweet sugary junky kind of taste but it's kind of like a nice refined elegant taste

上にはホイップクリーム

Number four milk, milk, milk. So this spot in Harajuku has some of the freshest Hokkaido milk around. Let me show you

それにスッゲーたくさんのマンゴーだ

Milk, milk, milk not to be confused with closets closets closets just opened up in La Fore on the second floor this last July it offers

マンゴーソースもたっぷりかかってる

milk sweets using 100%

この幸せの山を見るのだ！

real deal, Hokkaido

これは本当にオラの頭と同じくらいの大きさだ

Rich milk which has a high rate of milk bath the shop regularly collaborates with characters and when I visited this time

ほら、マンゴーに

They were doing a sanyo my melody collaboration

かき氷

So I got the strawberry pudding which is a soft milk pudding topped with strawberry sauce. I love this place

このマンゴーすげぇうまい

You have a milk a straight from Hokkaido too that I've mixed it around a little bit already

マンゴーシロップみてぇなのもかかってる

That milk tastes so fresh and if you really want you can get a soft cream on top of this but I

氷がパラパラなのもいい

Just wanted to get this nice milky pudding

食うと滑らかだ

Oh that freshness is unbelievable this one because it is like a milk pudding

見た目は細かく削ったココナッツみたい

It's more kind of like drippity drippity dew but it just makes it all so much better. In fact, it's so good

口に入れると溶けちまう

まさに計算し尽くされたスウィーツだ

You can find one of my favorite cafes Matcha house a Matcha specialty cafe shop

Originally from Kyoto Matcha's house. Number one menu is without a doubt their Uji Matcha Tiramisu

中に入ってるのはこしあん

それに、この豆がもちの中に入ってんだ

180 years of history. So a lot of you guys might already know that we featured at this spot in my Kyoto video

これは伝統的な日本の和菓子だから

But since we're doing a whole new Harajuku video and they're finally here in Tokyo. I wanted to show you this spot

和菓子のうまさを理解してないと

So this is the Matcha tiramisu that you saw in my Kyoto video and it's just so delicious

なんつーか

You can see the green tea at the top of it and then it has the mascarpone

エレガントすぎるっつーか、 古臭いって感じちまうかも

And then you can see the sponge cake right there

激甘でジャンキーなスウィーツとはかけ離れてるから

That is heaven and the sponge cake itself, it's like soaking up all of the Matcha flavor

上品で洗練された味って感じだ

And so you get kind of like this moist almost delicate kind of dessert and then the Matcha itself has a nice bitterness

この原宿のスポットは北海道産の牛乳を使った うまいもんが食えるぞ

But it's not too strong

行こうぜ

In fact, I can almost see myself in like a full bath of this tiramisu and just dunking my entire body

ミルクミルクミルク！クローゼットクローゼット クローゼットと間違えるなよ

Not to put pictures inside of your head

この店はラフォーレの二階に 今年の七月オープンしたばっかりで

What's kind of cool is that if you eat more of the sponge cake

北海道産の乳脂肪率の高く濃厚な牛乳を使用した 「ミルク」スイーツ専門店なんだ

You get kind of more of the Matcha flavor taste to it

キャラクターとのコラボもよくしてて

And then if you stick to the mascarpone the white stuff, then you have a heavier thicker creamy dessert. It's kind of cool

今回オラが行った時はサンリオのマイメロディとの コラボをしてたぞ

How you can kind of like balance what kind of flavors you want look at?

これはストロベリープリン

that you can see the

ストロベリーソースがかかった ソフトミルクプリンだ

Hojicha all in there. You have the ice cream right? there. It even has some kuromitsu in there, which is like a brown sugar

ここは北海道牛乳を使ってて好きなんだ

Ah that Hojicha is good. For those of you that don't know Hojichae is still a green tea unlike a green tea

かき混ぜてあるぞ

It's not that bitter but it almost has like a burnt flavor kind of like goes through your senses and your nose

フレッシュな牛乳の味がする

you can see the

ソフトクリームを上にトッピングすることもできるぞ

Kuromitsu right there

オラはミルキーなプリンを楽しみたかったんだ

Wow, it tastes a little bit less than like a very like strong cow milk

フレッシュさがたまらねぇ！

But it's just so super silky and goes really really well together

これはミルクプリンだから

So, how are you doing Wolfie feeling good? Yeah, let's go to another spot

どろっどろなんだよな
