Japanese Guys Trying Food and Snacks of ARKANSAS USA 

I'm so glad that everything made it to you guys intact and that you seemed to enjoy most of it! Thanks for sharing my drawings with everyone! 😄

very impressed someone from Arkansas would do all this. im asian, lived in AR for half of my life and I never met a single non asian person cultured enough to care about asian food vlogging to put in the time to send a care package. good looking out Emilee.

You two have the cutest reactions!🥺💖

Emilee did such a great job of curating those snacks--I had no idea some of those brands originated in Arkansas! And her drawings are wonderful and add so much to the package. Also, sending Satoshi maps was so thoughtful.--I'm a map fanatic too and I understand his fascination with them. All the snacks look yummy.

I was born in Arkansas and you guys made Arkansas actually sound interesting. Bravo, gentleman!

Emilee put her heart in making the artwork or selecting the snacks👏👏 and also justin is soo cute i really want to pet him🥰

I grew up in Arkansas, and now live in Japan, so it was really fun to see their reactions to food from home! Next time a friend or family member from back home comes for a visit we should make a companion video for this, Arkansans eating Japanese food, especially since I live in the Osaka area, famous as the kitchen of Japan!

I was very excited to see this. I live in Memphis Tennessee, but I lived in a small town called Helena in Arkansas for three years. I love that Greek seasoning. I cook with it almost every day. Shinichi and Satoshi I am happy that you really like it. I love your tasting videos 😄

In the southern US people use muscadines to make homemade wine.

In a pinch, I make buttermilk from regular milk by adding one tablespoon of distilled white vinegar to one cup of milk. A very good substitute.

Thank you Emily for sharing you different foods! I’ve never been to Arkansas either. Great job trying the different foods Tabieats! 👍😎

Never in my life have I heard of cornbread with mustard. I like it crumbled with milk or buttermilk or used to sop up sauces, gravies or pot liquor from greens. Great video guys!

Omg shout out Little Rock!! This is my hometown and all of these treats sent in were top notch 🤠 fun fact - try the cavenders seasoning on fresh cherry tomatoes or any robust tomato and thank me later !! We love watching 🧡🧡

I absolutely love how you guys put in the time and effort into trying these foods to their intended extent. I know it takes money and resources to make all this food and buy foods to compliment it. I bet the people who send these food boxes are over the moon that you put so much of your time into these reviews.

The matcha honey is super yummy in hot tea. 😋 Up north (rural Pennsylvania) we eat cornbread and chili w/beans. We put the cornbread in the bowl (some ppl crumble it up a bit) and we ladle the chili w/beans over the cornbread. It’s very delicious, especially with a spicy chili. 🥰

@15:00 The Dutch breakfast is *_hagelslag_* which is buttered toast covered with sprinkles, usually chocolate. I've been to Amsterdam a few times but had hagelslag only once for brekky. The hotel provided chocolate sprinkles in tiny individual packets so I decided to give it a try. Sprinkles on toast! Who knew? 😂 *_Emily is awesome for sending all the interesting food_* and I really loved her artwork as well. 👍

Arkansas native living in Nagano here, this video made me nostalgic for home! Of course I've got my trusty can of Cavender's to make me feel better.

As a native Arkansan, I can tell you Muscadines are definitely a fruit you can eat on its own - you have to suck the pulp out of the very thick Muscadine skin and beware of the seeds! There is nothing else quite like it - particularly the type called scuppernongs! They are great.

I am living in Arkansas right now and didn't know many of these brands. Good job sharing what products are made here.

My family is from Southern Kentucky and I've lived here all my life. My grandma made chocolate and biscuits for all the time for breakfast--but the Ozarks version is more well known and has flour in it (which makes it chocolate GRAVY and biscuits) while my grandma's does not.

I live 35 miles from Heber Springs. Nice town in the lower part of the Ozark Mountains. Think you would enjoy a trip to Arkansas especially if you went to Eureka Springs, Mountain View or the Fayetteville area. Many small towns in the Ozarks. Try a canoe trip down the Buffalo River, the caves at Blanchard Springs or any of the music festivals in Eureka Springs.

That's awesome! 💖 Arkansas is where I'm currently living😊

I lived in Arkansas for five years and now I've been home here in California and I never heard of these items from Arkansas, makes me wonder next time I ever go back to visit Arkansas just to try these items.

I'm from Arkansas! We really do have some of the best snacks and honey. Theres a local bee keeper in the river valley who's bees tend to go for lemon grass and lemon balm so the honey has a natural lemon taste. Emilee really did pick out some really good items!

Hey guys! The cornbread and milk option is usually done with cornbread the day after you make it. It needs to be a little stale. (For lack of a better word.) You get a tall glass break the corn bread up in chunks (usually it will just fall apart at this point) drop them in the glass and pour milk over then eat with a spoon. Like cold cereal. I suppose you could put it in a bowl but my 91 year old Papaw always eats his in a glass! I’m not sure if you can do it with fresh cornbread or not Papaw always told me that that is what he’d do with cornbread the next day after his momma made it and before she’d feed the leftovers to the chickens he’d steal some to eat.

Hi from Jonesoro, Arkansas. We use many of these as staples in our house. I have to try the honey. Thanks for introducing me to it.😁

That was interesting and fun to see you two try so many foods from Arkansas. Thank you, Emilee for sending it to them! I loved Emilee's artwork. I have never tried mustard on corn bread either. And was surprised to see matcha honey from Arkansas. 🌻

Puppy in the middle like "Yall gonna feed me too??" haha

Cornbread with homemade vegetable soup or potato soup is also nice.

I am glad u guys respect all culture foods !! I love you guys

Gosh, every time I tell somebody about chocolate gravy, they give me funny looks. My mom's family is from Oklahoma, not Arkansas (her dad was, though). Chocolate gravy was made on New Year's day. I guess because they were so poor it was used a special treat.

Born and raised in Arkansas. Totally made me homesick.

De puppys was begging for some snackadoos!😆😍💜💚 Love how much y'all enjoyed everything,and of course a big thanks to Emiliee! What an AMAZING gift to send! Love it! You're so great at art!💚💜

If y'all ever do come to Arkansas you have got to visit the Ozark mountains in northwest Arkansas. The fog laying on the mountains in early morning is breathtaking. I may be biased though as I was born and raised in the Ozarks. With all my love from Garfield Arkansas.

One more thing! Arkansas is known for having one of the best coffee makers in the world. If you find Onyx Coffee, make sure to try it - it’s delicious!

Great video. My husband is from a town called Pocahontas, Arkansas. There is one for you to find Satoshi, it's west of Little Rock. Arkansas is a beautiful state. The Ozarks are beautiful too.

Whomever gifted the maps to Satoshi, you are the real VIP!

The drawings on the envelope are amazing!

Found a new favorite channel. You two are so informative and respectful. That combination is a RU-vid rarity..

That Greek seasoning is the BEST!!! We use it all the time. Makes the absolute best greek chicken and potatoes

Hi You 2 fab guys! What Emily did for you was so thoughtful and kind and you seem to enjoy it so much! Cornbread is usually served as an accompaniment to Black Eyed Peas stewed okra and all kinds of vegetables or like rolls to complete a meal. Cornbread originated because it was cheap easy to make and it's easier to grow corn in the South than wheat. It's usually crumbled up when it's left over and put in milk or buttermilk my dad used to love to chop up onions & put them in his milk and cornbread. First time I've ever heard of using mustard! Muscadines make yummy jelly but they really make great wine! Google them because they are an interesting little fruit! I am from Louisiana-- Jambalaya originated in Louisiana by way of the slaves that came over from Africa via the Bahamas. Jambon is the French word for ham one of the first ingredients used to make the dish. One of the best places to eat on the planet is New Orleans and I would love to take you on a tour it's become soul food diverse and lots of modern Innovations on traditional southern food.

Woo Pig Sooie, y'all! 😄 We always liked to halve a loaf of french bread, spread a think layer of butter on each half, generously sprinkle on some Cavenders, pile on some mozzarella, bake 'em til the cheese is melted through, then cut into strips. 🤤

That Greek seasoning is really good on a simple tomato and cucumber salad. You can add a little feta if you want. Or just sprinkle it on cut veggies. Perfect for summer when it’s too hot to cook.

MuscaDINE, with the last syllable pronounced as dine, rhymes with wine, are the only grape native to North America. We had them in the deep south, too, and they are my favorite fruit. We called them 'scuppnins, which is short for scuppernong, a type of muscadine. They have a thicker skin than supermarket grapes and seeds, but are very flavorful, far more so than other grapes. They are a little bit tart, but deliciously so. You probably didn't taste any tartness because they added a lot of sugar when making the jelly. One of the things I miss most about the south. Most people, including me, prefer to just eat them raw, but my grandmother used to make muscadine wine and jelly, too, occasionally.

I live in Fort Smith, Arkansas and I love that you finally got a food haul from the area.

Thanks gentleman for your interest in our state! I hope you guys can come visit once everyone's vaccinated, I'd highly recommend our capital or the NWA region tons of food and nice museums to see!

Yay arkansas! I've lived here in arkansas my whole life. We live close to little rock. My husband and I have actually talked about moving to another country, like japan, but we would miss our family too much. They have good beer breweries in arkansas too! There's a lot to explore in little rock. I had no idea the greek seasoning was from Arkansas. I've had that quite a bit in the passed. It's very unique. Unfortunately I havent tried a lot of the items in this video, but now I definitely want to!

I love your doggy so much. They are just like 'am I getting anything'???

The greek seasoning is a hidden gem. Get some fresh bread, butter, and toast it up and use that seasoning. Its 10/10.

Muscadine it's a type of grape mostly grows in Southern States is very heat-resistant has a thick skin on a very large seed best known for muscadine wine not overly commercially-produced in other words that are hard to find outside of the South

I live in Northwestern Arkansas, we have an eclectic mix of all kinds of cultures and cuisines here because we are the location of Walmart Home Office. Everything from Greek, Indian, Chinese, and yes even some japanese. It’s a beautiful place if you ever get the chance to visit I fully encourage. @shinichi just an FYI look up Crystal Bridges.

We use cavendar's for our steak and burgers at my place in Oklahoma.

I grew up in Cabot Arkansas. This was fantastic to see some of the foods I grew up eating

a lot of countries do the sprinkles on buttered white bread thing, it's called fairy bread. I learned that from my australian friends growing up!

“so i am confusion, why is this one kansas and this one NOT ARKANSAS... AMERICA EXPLAIN”

If you ever do visit Arkansas make sure to get some fish. Fried catfish is everywhere here but fried walleye is realy good too.

The Macha honey looked like it was carmelized. I enjoy these shows. I keep a lookout for Justin as he's so cute as he sniffs around for his treats. Have you ever thought of doing a show on doggie treats to see which ones Justin would/wouldn't like?

Lol! I so L💌ve Benton Arkansas, drove all over through Mississippi to Alabama, people or so kind, and polite, I would love to live in G-DS country one day- thank you for the vid..blessings y'all

watching in arkansas

What a super fun episode to watch, my father in law was from Heber Springs Arkansas and we would visit from time to time. would love more videos like this!

I grew up eating Cavender’s on all meats. I put it on steak, chicken, pork, etc. I don’t add it to starchy foods. Also muscadines can be eaten straight. They have a VERY thick leathery skin, and they taste so much nicer than normal table grapes. It’s native to all across the southeast US. In Florida, my dad and I would pick them wild while on bike rides and just eat them on the side of the road.

I have not had breakfast yet 10 am and my mouth is watering. I love how you film the food I can see the textures etc, now all I need is smellavision ha ha ha

Would love to see an episode of Satoshi making a Jumbalaya.

Live 30 miles from where Cavenders is made....alot great salsas made in Arkansas. Arkansalsa brand is good and a portion of each jar goes towards ALS research.

Hello from Conway, Arkansas, just north of Little Rock! Love your videos!

Fun fact about cornbread: in Arkansas folklore, it is considered bad luck to cut cornbread with a knife. You are supposed to tear it. Also, best way to cook cornbread is in cast iron to get a nice crust.

That all looks amazing, thank you for sharing!

Fantastic job Emilee! Great representation of Arkansas. Nice to see our state on TV for something good. Hahahah.

We put honey butter on our cornbread in my family (we are in North Carolina)

Honey is so good on cornbread. Never heard of it with mustard. The chocolate sauce over the biscuits held no appeal to me at all. Thanks for sharing this with us!

My grandmother use to make me chocolate gravy years ago in Clarksville, Arkansas. Then we would go muscadine picking. I miss her a lot.

What did Tennessee? Same thing Arkansas.

Enjoyed the tastings...but loved the little doggie nose peeking up.🐶🐶

Hi Shinichi and Satoshi, Thank you for again a nice start of my day! its always a joy to watch you guys try foods from different places =) like you guys and your videos very much! keep up the good spirits and stay well.

What fun! I am from Ohio, we love our cornbread with chili. We also love our Cincinnati chili on top of Spaghetti and smothered in onion & a mound of cheese.

My mom makes homemade biscuits and chocolate gravy for Christmas every year for us. It's been a tradition for over three decades now. It's nice seeing y'all trying it out. Not enough people know how good it is.

Cavenders is great on burgers, chicken, steak, tuna salad, pork chops, .....the list goes on! Muscadine is pronounced with the emphasis on the dine. And yes you can eat the fruit raw, my dr is part of the Post family of post familie winery, and sometimes he gives out cups of muscadines to some of his favorite people.

think you can have Muscadine jelly for meat. Here in Scandinavia, we use blackcurrant jelly, redcurrant jelly, rowanberry jelly, etc. as accessories for a steak.

Texas here, the north east part close to Arkansas. Muscadine grapes are not pleasant to eat raw as a fruit. They become delicious when processed into juice, jelly, or wine. :) edit: at least, that's the case for the ones growing on my fence.

Muscatine are generally tart. My dad used to make wine with it. Little Rock is the state capital.

Oh wow, I buy Jelly Madness from my local farmer’s market all the time! Their jalapeño jelly is insanely good! I eat it on pork loin sandwiches and the sweet and spicy is just perfect! It’s my favorite brand of jelly, and I never expected to see it featured here.

Mountain Home Arkansas here >>--> Id like ta see um try some Petite Jean Summer Sausage or Squirel Dumplins made with that Cavenders. This was really awsome btw.

Cavender’s ⎌oh yes, use it grilling, marinades. Good stuff.

Great program guys! I had to raid the refrigerator after watching this today! I love jambalaya and also cornbread so this was a very enjoyable vlog. It was great that she sent maps to Satoshi. It is sad that many people today are unable to read maps as they depend upon GPS. Have a pleasant week. ❤🛫🙏🌎

Hey guy's good to see you thanks for sharing this video enjoy it be safe 👍❤️🙂

When you visit Arkansas, the village of Eureka Springs and the Buffalo National River are very special places. Particular points of interest of each location would be Thorncrown Chapel and Hawksbill Crag. Early to mid spring would be the least crowded, but still beautifully-naturalistic times for a visit.

I know very little about chocolate gravy but my wife's family is mostly from the Memphis/Arkansas Area and I've been told how to make chocolate gravy new start out with hey biscuits and gravy style pork gravy and then you add little bits of chocolate into it until you get to where it is pork flavored chocolate flavored breakfast gravy anyone in the United States has ever had homemade biscuits and gravy not the bag crap not the restaurant crap the grammar sat there for an hour and a half making gravy can appreciate the fact that there's an added step in there then it comes out perfect every time

You can definitely eat muscadine as a fruit. The skin is very tough and rubbery but the fruit inside is good. They are native to much of the southern US along with scuppernong grapes. Both are used for wine, too, but it's usually a very sweet style. Not really my thing. I love the fruit, though! My grandfather had some on his farm.

There reaction to the corn bread 🍞🥰😂😂😂

I'm from Arkansas originally, I remember seeing Cavender's (never tried it), cheese straws (but not that brand), muscadine jelly which I used to LOOOOOVE (we pronounced it 'musky-dine', with a long I sound!! :D), jambalaya of course ('me oh my oh' is a reference to the song 'Jambalaya' by Hank Williams from the early 1950s -- look it up on You Tube!), and obviously I grew up eating cornbread with nearly every meal (it was served as the bread with homecooked meals and our favourite way to eat it was topped with soup beans cooked with a ham bone, or just sliced and buttered and eaten along with a meal; I don't know of anyone who eats it with mustard), chocolate gravy is a classic country food but my mother didn't like it so she would never make it for us! ha ha. We ate LOADS of pecans in all sorts of ways all my life. My parents had a huge pecan tree and we would pick them up off the ground and shell them and put in jars for the freezer. And of course s'mores are classic all over America -- chocolate, graham cracker and marshmallow combo. Thank you for this show, it was nostalgic for me, and thanks to the nice Arkansas lady who sent it!! :D

I’ve been living in Arkansas for 12 years! Can’t believe you’re trying my snacks in Japan 😭

wow what an awesome gift!

I live in Arkansas. All I’ve seen before is the seasoning. We use it for burgers and steak. Other than, I’ve never seen any of that stuff.

Try some of the honey on the cornbread with maybe some butter. Sounds yummy.

Now you're getting real close to where my wife's family is at and where I almost moved to my wife's family lives in Pangburn let's about 15 minutes south of Heber Springs and my wife and I were looking at a plot of land in Heber Springs are actually just on the outskirts of Heber Springs

in west virginia we'd eat conrbread with basically anything lol. mostly with beans. then with the left over cornbread we crumble it into a glass and pour buttermilk over it and eat it with a spoon

Awsome I'm from and live in this state russellville

Cornbread with pinto beans or purple hull peas poured over.

Cornbread can be just buttered, covered in honey, jam, or fried into hushpuppies. Usually also in the south, we eat it with boiled greens or chili. When I was a kid, I ate muscadines straight off the vine. They are very sweet and not tarte by nature. That toffee looks delish. We often have peanut brittle here or Heath bars. Didn't know anyone was eating chocolate gravy for breakfast. That's a new one on me, but it makes sense. I'm a dark chocolate lover too. I live in an area of the south where there's a lot of international food, and it's common for us to grow up with dishes from many countries. However, there are always places I would love to go like New York or Los Angeles, where there are familiar dishes in new styles and totally new food ideas. If I could travel the country and the world trying food I would. lol

Satoshi with every food: later I will eat with beer 🍺 😂
