So today we've come to Kyoto station And it is our goal to have a food challenge where my opponent myself, we will assign to each other to different types of food that we have to in a matter of 30 minutes find in and around the station, joe knows the place a lot better than I do.

But I have an incredible killer instinct.

So I anticipate a great victory at the end of this.

And as I say, to level the playing field, we're going to choose for each other, whatever it is that the other has to find.

So what shall I get today?

What have, what have I got to find?

A few days?

It's either going to be a choice of sushi tacos or karate or Gyoza.

Okay.

You're allowing your, allowing me for Yeah.

Okay, that's cool.

So I got to get two of those things.

I've been given four options.

That's kind of cool.

We have some flexibility there.

Alright, so for yourself, he's gotta find, let's do sweets for joe.

So he has to find donuts cookies, cupcakes or what's one more sweet than you enjoy.

Hi chew!

Those are delicious.

So we're going to embark on, this may be the most well versed in the area.

Win and find their items the quickest and enjoy them the most.

Let's go do it.

You go that way.

I'll go this way.

Let's go.

Okay, so he gave me a challenge to find some donuts here at Kyoto stations.

But actually I've been here for many years and I do know a place.

So let's go.

Mm hmm, mm hmm.

Alright guys, we're almost there just around the corner.

Mm hmm.

Yeah, Yeah.

Mm hmm.

It wasn't majority though.

So I've been coming here for many, many years, but I didn't expect today is actually quite busy.

Come with these donuts.

Our guys have given the challenge to find the closest don't store within Kyoto station vicinity.

I've been here many years, I remember at all.

Mr donors just around the corner.

So, um, we're on a bit of a time challenge going in here.

Big Q managed to grab the last custard cream.

I'm gonna scuff this down mm And then get on to the next challenge.

But if you're into pastries and sweet things are all around kyoto, there's many, many great homemade bakeries and stuff like this.

And onto the next challenge.

All right.

He gave me the challenge to find these four things.

I think it's actually, it's not going to be so bad.

He knows the place better than I do.

But I have a secret weapon which is Sando food hall here at Kyoto station.

So they have a wide variety and I think I might be able to get down here and nail both of them in one place, which will make our trip exceedingly efficient and I will take the gold ribbon metal.

Let's go.

Mm hmm.

We've gotten downstairs now and I've managed to find the food board for this particular, what would you call this?

This would be like a food court right now.

I was given the four that I was supposed to get and luckily we could discover here on this food board that they have Gyoza as well as conveyor belt.

Sushi!

The one problem is for the conveyor belt, I'm probably gonna have to sit down.

We'll scope it out inside there.

But as much as that may dig into our time a little bit, I don't think it's going to prevent me from again taking the gold ribbon, also known as the gold medal.

Let's get in here.

Follow me.

Follow me.

Follow me.

Thank you.

It is much, much nicer in here.

Okay, we're gonna do a little look around now.

We found our guilds in place.

Let's go make an order.

Okay, we got the order made, it was only 450 and so very affordable.

And they've given us one of these little timers here that as soon as the gyoza is ready, this school bus will go pick it up and we can continue with our adventure.

We're definitely in a good state because you don't take that long to prepare.

So I think they'll come out of the kitchen really fast.

But for now wait lovingly prepared.

In the base building, tilted towers.

I would expect this quality of Gyoza in a restaurant that would go and sit down and out on the streets.

They've done very well here and I think we're ready to move on to the next.

So I will not be defeated by my fellow compatriot today in our search for the fastest most delicious food around Kyoto tower.

Yeah, so long.

Alright guys, I thought the challenge was gonna be a lot harder.

Not because this cafe we're going to next best cookies in town.

So here it is guys.

Okay, once again, we're here on the time challenge.

We're we're in Kyoto station.

But I immediately thought about this place because it's less than a five minute walk.

They serve up delicious sweets and pastries.

But in actual fact, it's one of my favorite cafes in kyoto because they serve amazing, especially elder copy.

And if you're here in Kyoto definitely recommend the visitor.

Okay, so the beauty of us having chosen here is that he's going to be running around everywhere.

Whereas my Kyoto is right here, Sushi is right there.

So let's go get follow me.

I got it.

I think we have to eat it.

That's part of the challenge.

Actually, I've already eaten lunch and after that Kyoto, I'm so full.

But for this video, we're going all the way we want to beat this time.

So how quickly can I get this in me?

Let's see.

Okay, one.

Mhm.

All right before it's finished, we got to get back to where we started.

I'll see if I'm there before him.

We'll see if I beat him were the first ones here Challenge one.

Soon as Joe shows up, we'll have a few remarks.

I'm sure he'll gracefully accept defeat and we can wrap this one up.

Mm hmm.

Time.

Welcome back My friends.

All right.

Have a seat.

Have a seat.

Welcome to the end of the video where I have managed to come out the other side of it, triumphant.

Now we did a challenge today where we're supposed to run around and find this food and I think something is lost and just how good it is and how much you can enjoy coming to Kyoto station.

Finding a really, really nice lunch or treats and all that cuisine that you find around Kyoto that should be enjoyed with time.

Well taken patients and appreciation for all the flavors that they have on offer here.

But it was fun going today.

What do I get?

What's my reward for defeating you sir?

Do you have one?

You beat me?

I'll give you a handshake.

Alright, That's good enough.

You know better than I do respect and admiration And I've only lived here for a short period of time.

So this means a great deal to me.

Thank you very much for coming on today.

I really hope you enjoyed this and we really hope that it inspires you to come and check out around Kyoto station.

Even if you only have a little bit of time because I hope we've shown today that you can actually get around and see a lot that they have on offer for food in a very, very, very short window.

If that's all that you have, this was a blast to make.

Not much else to say, other than that.

Take care, have a great new year.

Have a great 2022.

Take care, hug the ones you love.

Bye for now.
