BEER & SASHIMI Candy Making Set CRAYON SHIN CHAN _ Whatcha Eating

Greetings my beautiful lovelies. Hello, it's Emmy. Welcome back to another Whatcha Eating. Today I'm gonna be fixing up this little kit, and this is our little friend Crayon Shin-chan. He's very very popular in Japan and all around the world. He has a manga and a cartoon that's translated into many many different languages.

This is a little sashimi set that includes a kid's beer and some tuna or maguro and squid which is called ika. I've done a few Crayon Shin-chan kits including color-changing drinks, some candy beers and a butt pudding. Yes, a butt pudding that jiggles and shakes and looks like a very round butt. Yeah, here's the back with the instructions. I'm going to need some microwaves and some chilling power. We have the mold we have the little water and soy sauce tray, a very cute pair of chopsticks, kid-sized chopsticks. This is to make the maguro and this to make the ika.

This is the soy sauce and this is going to be the tray that we're going to serve our sashimi in. First things first, we're gonna make the maguro, oh, it smells like strawberry jell-o. We'll use the instructions on the back of the package to mix together the contents of the packet with a small amount of water to create a paste. Then, we'll add this paste to our maguro and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes until it's fully dissolved.

After that, we'll need to cook the maguro according to the instructions on the package. Some kits may require boiling or steaming, while others might need just a short amount of time in the microwave. Once cooked, we'll chill our maguro in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving. It's worth noting that the texture and taste of the magruo can vary depending on the specific kit and brand.

Now, let's move on to making the ika. This one is a bit more complicated than the maguro, as we need to create our own agar agar gel. Agar agar is a type of vegan gelatin that's commonly used in Japanese cuisine. We'll mix together the contents of the agar agar packet with hot water according to the instructions on the package. Once the mixture has cooled and thickened, we can shape it into small cubes or slices.

To make our ika, we'll need to flavor the agar agar gel with a bit of salt and some added flavorings such as soy sauce or sake. This will give our ika its signature taste and aroma. After that, we'll add the flavored agar agar gel to our ika and mix well. Finally, we'll serve our ika on top of a bed of shredded daikon radish for garnish.

Next up is the kid's beer. This one's actually pretty fun to make. We'll need to combine the contents of the packet with a small amount of water in a microwave-safe bowl. Then, we'll heat the mixture for about 30-45 seconds until it's fully dissolved and hot. After that, we can pour our beer into glasses or cups and add ice cubes as desired.

One of the coolest things about this kit is the chemical reaction that occurs when you mix the ingredients together. It creates a lot of CO2 bubbles, which makes for a fun and fizzy drink. We'll also need to add a sauce packet to our beer to give it an authentic Japanese flavor. This sauce is made from a combination of soy sauce, sake, and sugar, and it's what really makes this kit stand out.

As we take our first sips of the kid's beer, I have to say that it's actually pretty good. The flavors are tangy and slightly sweet, with just the right amount of fizz. It's definitely a unique taste experience, but one that's well worth trying. Of course, it's not for everyone - some might find it too concentrated or overpowering.

After trying the kid's beer, we'll move on to tasting our ika and maguro. Unfortunately, both of these dishes didn't quite live up to my expectations. The magruo was too soft and jello-y, with a strong sweet flavor that overpowered any real umami taste. And the ika was just plain unpleasant - it had a crunchy texture that I wasn't expecting, combined with a fake vanilla flavor that was just too much.

But don't worry - we'll get to the bottom of this in just a minute! Let's try dipping our magruo in soy sauce and see if that improves the flavor. Hmm, not so bad, actually. It's still a bit sweet, but at least the salty flavor of the soy sauce is coming through now.

Next, let's taste the ika by itself to see how it compares. Uh-oh - it's just as disappointing as I thought it would be! But wait, what's this? The sauce packet has an amazing vanilla flavor that's basically just pure vanilla syrup. It's like someone took all the good parts of vanilla extract and concentrated them into one delicious liquid.

Well, there you have it - our little Crayon Shin-chan sashimi set plus a kid's beer. While not every dish was a complete success, I did manage to learn a thing or two about how to make these kits work together. And hey - even if the flavors and textures aren't exactly what we'd expect, they're still fun to try!

Super fun to make, I hope you guys enjoy that one! Hope you guys learned something. Check out the playlist so you can see lots more of these Japanese candy making kits. And yeah, be sure to share this video with your friends follow me on social media so you can see which videos are coming up next and I shall see you in my next one tooloo, take care, bye!

This is to make the maguro l and this to make the ika. This is the soy sauceThis is to make the beer, and this is going to be the tray that we're going to serve our sashimi inFirst things first, we're gonna make the maguro, oohsmells like strawberry jell-oThen we're going to add threeMeasures of water. This is kind of a tricky measurerGonna dump the whole thing in thereMix this wellTo kind of initially dissolve the gelatin in thereMy son is home sick today. Poor guy woke up in the middle of night...actually was in this morning and just gagged everywhereThat's always fun as being a parent you're like asleep, and then you wake up and you're like...yak!Laundry!Great!Anyways, he seems to be feeling better this morning, but we kept him home from school. Just you know, for good measureAlright, we're really grateful to be able to do that by the way, I mean goshOtherwise you have to ask grandma if you have grandma, or take a day off at work right. NowWe're gonna pop this into the microwave30 secondsHere is the hot gelatin mixture. Now we're gonna bring our trayIt smells just like strawberry jell-o exactlySo with the tray filledWe have a tiny bit extra, you want to make sure we hold on to that. Next we're going to make the ika. I'm gonnatake our ika powder,here. It's almost kind of milky and vanilla. For this, we're gonna add two measures of waterOne,two. Again we're gonna give it a little preliminary stir and microwave for 30seconds. Here's our hot milk gelatinAnd now we're going to fill up these very very skinny narrow troughs, that's going to be trickyso I'm going to use a little syringeThey don't supply this, but I think it's gonna make my life a little bit easier than trying to use a spoonYesUsually the sets are really good about giving you the proper tools, butThis one did not offer a syringe or dropperSquirt up that bubble cuz it's annoying meOkay, great combine this with this, look it's already jellied, awesome. And we're going to make a pink jellyMelt!I'm gonna microwave this for 10 seconds to get this to melt. Alright that did it, so nowI'm going to use my syringe again and fill up these little molds with our pinkjelloSo each one of these takes about one milLittle lessAlrightso now we're gonna place this into the refrigerator and let it cool for one hour before weunmold it. So our little jelly guys are out of the refrigerator, and now we're ready to unmold themThey should come out pretty readilySo we'll do that...oh, spoke too soonThey come out perfectly, so satisfyingOkay, so we have all of our tuna slices arranged. Now this side, we're going to put all our ika bits.I love...IkaThese strips look exactly like the squid strips, it has the same color and kind of translucentquality of raw squidThere we go and now we're going to finish off with these little pink ones OhDoink those came out perfectly look at the level of detail on that. I love thatDoink, find the little sakura flower.Doink love that...see all those detailsAlright so the sashimi portion is finished nowLet us make our drink. 100 mililiters of water into our glassThen we're gonna take our little drink powder, pour that into thereIt's starting to fizz all by itself and it's creating a creamy beer like headThat all by itselfMagic. So there's a chemical reaction happening here a lot of CO2I'm assuming is being created lots of bubbles and a perfectly great creamy topTiny tiny bubbles check this out look at thatDoink. Next we're gonna add two ice cubesMake our drink chilly then take our little sauce packet and fill that upFirst let's taste our beer. Kanpai, cheersOooh boy is that ever concentrated it tastes like a combination of that cider soda you can findIn Japan with melon, the kind of midori,melony kind of flavor, it's actually pretty good. It's just very concentrated. There is a little bit of fizzThere is a bit of a creamy top, and I love that it requires an addition of ice cubesIt makes it nice and cold and just more refreshing, super fun. While this is very concentrated, it's not just concentratedly sweetThere's a good amount of acid in there, so it's kind of tangy, and it makes it seem more quenching, for a kids beer right?Alright, let's take our chopsticks and let's give everything a taste. Let's try the ika first. Itadakimasu!MmmTerrible. I just want this to be ika, which has a really great chewy kind of crunchy texture to itAnd it has a really kind of light flavor, this doesn't have that at allIt's very soft and jello-y because it's made out of jell-o and very sweet and has it kind of fakevanilla flavor don't like that at all. Let's try one of these pink ones. I like the little Sakura flowerMmm that one is not good eitherSame jello-y texture andCombination of fake sweet flavors, don't like that all right. Let's try the strawberry maybe that one will be a little bit betterMmmWhile this drink has a really nice amount of acidity the jello does not at allIt's just very very sweet this actually tastes pretty familiar. It tastes a lot like the strawberry jell-os you can find here statesideThe texture is a little bit different. I think they might have used agar agar in thisIt's a more firmer kind of jelly as opposed to a kind of a jello-y jiggly jelly alrightLet's try dipping it in ourSauce- that is not soy sauce I have to tell my mind. This is not saltyHmmI wouldn't say that's an improvement, but it's not so bad. Let's just try the sauce by itselfWell n-yeah mm-hmmThat tastes like vanilla extract a veryVery strong vanilla flavor except that it's sweetI remember as a kid once I tried been vanilla extract thinking that oh, it smells so delicious it must taste deliciousBut of course that's all alcohol and that does not taste deliciousThis is very very sweetIt's basically a vanilla syrup. AlrightSo there you have it, crayon shin-chan little sashimi set plus a beer- recommend the beer don't recommend thatBut it's fun to makemm-hmmSuper fun to make.
