AISubs v3.5
Tonight's theme is tapioca!
We'll explain the charm of tapioca, which is currently in a big boom of coincidence!
- Seriously, it's tapioca! - Oh no, oh no! The pointy part is weird!
- It's melting! - It's melting!
And not only drinking it, you can eat it too!
I'll swallow it!
Salute! Bow!
Salute!
Tonight's special teacher is a sweets prince, Tsuneyasu Takeda sensei!
Sensei, you're here for the fifth time!
Sensei, you've eaten sweets four out of five times!
- Sensei, you said you eat a lot of sweets, right? - Yes, I do.
- I eat about 500 kinds of sweets a year. - Wow!
- You eat more than your boss, don't you? - That's why I don't eat sweets I don't eat when I go to a department store.
Wow!
The charm of the tapioca, which is currently in a big boom of coincidence!
- Of course, everyone loves it! - I love it!
- Sensei, do you also drink the tapioca drink? - Yes, I like it, but...
Everytime I go to Taiwan, I drink the tapioca milk tea.
I thought it would be nice if they had it in Japan, and when I drank it, I was like "Wow!"
Before it became popular in Japan, it was already popular in Taiwan!
I was looking forward to it when I went to Taiwan!
The tapioca milk tea that is evolving recently is not over yet!
- That's right! - That's right!
It has also become popular in Namba, where everyone's theater is located,
but I would like you to watch the VTR of the shop with the tapioca drink in Namba!
The first store is Moccham, a raw tapioca specialty store that opened in December last year!
Most of the time, you have to wait for three hours to get in.
It's one of the most crowded stores in Osaka.
The secret of its popularity is raw tapioca.
No preservatives are used at all and it's 100% handmade.
It's the only ball-shaped tapioca machine in Japan.
Warm tapioca has a chewy texture like freshly made mochi.
And the most popular tapioca in this store is Okinawa black sugar milk.
It's a simple combination of black sugar and milk.
You can feel the flavor and aroma of raw tapioca directly and it's also popular with tapioca lovers.
There are also various flavors like black tea milk and cassis raspberry milk.
Handmade chewy tapioca is worth a try.
The second store is a tapioca cheese tea specialty store that attracts people's attention on Instagram.
It's Tapichi Tea Stand.
This is the most popular one.
It's a tapichi-assam giraffe tea with homemade assam jelly and chewy tapioca.
The tapioca is made in Taiwan and it's made with homemade syrup.
It's topped with selected milk and salt.
Then, it's topped with cheese milk foam with fine and rich flavor on top of the tapioca drink.
It's not too sweet and it's recommended for men.
It's said that strawberry milk is the most popular for women.
I love it.
Everyone at NMB, why don't you give it a try during your lessons?
So this is a shop in NMB, have you been there before?
Chihi and Kojirin only?
Which one have you been to?
I've been to both of them.
You've been to both of them?
You're a girl, aren't you?
NMB is like a garden.
It's like a garden.
Was it good?
Yes, it was good.
Kojirin, what about you?
I went to Tapichi and drank strawberry milk.
That's the most popular one, isn't it?
Yes, I don't like the strawberry milk sold in convenience stores and I don't drink it much,
but it's not too sweet and the sourness of the strawberry is very delicious and I like it very much.
It's perfect.
As expected of your mother.
Sensei, recently you haven't finished drinking tapioca, have you?
Not at all. I only know about the old ones.
I see.
I've prepared the tapioca drink you've introduced.
Sensei, please try it.
Yes.
Sensei is going to drink it now, right?
That's right.
They're lined up.
They're lined up a lot.
I think it's been three hours.
Yes, it looks like it's been three hours.
The soft ice of the black sugar spreads.
And one more thing.
Yes.
It's amazing.
The water is strong.
It's scary.
It's scary, isn't it?
It goes well with the cheese.
Sensei, you're holding it until it gets powdery.
It's getting sticky.
NMB.
Would anyone like to try it?
Me!
We've prepared strawberry milk that's popular with girls.
Would you like to drink it?
Why don't you give it to her?
She said NMB, so...
She's a female member.
Is it okay?
Okay, Yamauchi.
Okay...
Inada!
Thank you, Yamauchi.
Inada.
Okay, Inada, let's drink it.
[Laughter]
I like it.
[Laughter and applause]
What is that?
It's good.
Hey!
What is that way of drinking?
What is that?
Taste it.
What?
How is it?
I like it.
[Laughter and applause]
It's good.
[Laughter and applause]
Everyone says they like tapioca, but do you know what it's made of?
Do you know, Nagisa?
Can I really answer?
Can you really answer?
Love.
[Laughter and applause]
You've gotten good.
I thought you really knew.
Right?
Kate.
Morning.
Correct!
[Applause and cheers]
What do you know?
I like tapioca so much that I looked it up.
You want it like this, don't you?
I want it like this.
Cassava is originally from South America, and Brazil is the main producer.
Cassava itself has a toxic component when it is raw, and it cannot be eaten directly.
So you can't import it raw in Japan.
I see.
You can only import it when it is raw, or when it is powdery.
When did it become popular in Japan?
At first, there was a first wave of tapioca around 2004.
The tapioca at the time didn't look like the tapioca today.
That's difficult!
Our tapioca looks like this!
Right?
There's tapioca in coconut milk.
Right.
This is what you eat with a spoon.
This is the first wave of tapioca.
After that, the first wave of tapioca is a little smaller, but from the second wave of tapioca, it's a big one.
I see.
Then, the Taiwanese tapioca milk tea landed in Japan and became popular all of a sudden.
This is in 2008 and 2020.
Usually, when a wave of tapioca ends, it disappears.
But now, the third wave of tapioca is coming.
This is from last year.
The two types of tapioca I just ate have quite a lot of arrangements.
Japanese people like that kind of thing.
It's evolving more and more.
There are about 300 stores in Tokyo and 100 stores in Osaka.
That's amazing!
I have the impression that most of the third wave of tapioca is coming to an end.
That's amazing!
Japanese people like mochi, don't they?
I think this mochi-like food was a big element that made a hit.
Now, recently, tapioca drink is also sold in places like this.
Yes, even in kaitenzushi, it comes around.
Somehow, now it's like a kaitenzushi and tapioca war zone, and it comes with sushi.
Then you can drink it even if you don't line up, so I think it's easy for men to reach out.
I see.
Last year, it was also chosen as a popular language for girls' high school students.
"Tapiru", "tapikatsu" were popular.
Do you use this?
Yes, we do.
We use this on our social media hashtags.
You use this kind of thing?
Yes.
"Maji-tapioca"!
We don't use it.
You don't use it?
We're trying to make it popular, right?
We're trying to make it popular.
We're trying our best to make it popular on social media, but we can't make it popular at all.
There's no chance of it becoming popular.
You haven't heard from people who have?
Not at all.
Even when your emotions have moved even a little, you activate it right away.
"Maji-tapioca"!
"De"!
"De"?!
Don't keep saying "de"!
We heard that there might be no movement, so we've decided on a movement for "Maji-tapioka", and everyone's using it.
So you can pose for me.
Yes, let's go.
"Maji-tapioka"!
What's wrong with you?
Hisamoto-san, would you like to make this an official one?
Let's take an insert later.
I don't need such an insert.
The age of drinking is over and Reiwa is eating tapioca.
Until now, there was a form of tapioca in milk tea that came in from Taiwan.
There are various ways of using it.
Since then, various sweets shops have used the tapioca to make new sweets.
Let's take a look at Kansai's recommended tapioca.
The first one is Jipang Curry Cafe in Nakazaki- cho. It's a Japanese-style curry with a mustache.
A curry shop famous for its strong soup stock.
The popular tapioca sweets in this shop are this tapioca mango parfait.
Parfait!
A colorful and cute parfait with fresh cream, ice cream, granola and fruits.
It's a must-have.
By adding granola to tapioca, which sticks together when it's cold, it's solved.
They say it was a success to put it in a parfait.
Other than mango, berry flavors are also popular.
After eating curry, you want to eat something special.
The second shop is a Chinese restaurant in Nankin- machi, Kobe.
Nankin-machi is fun, isn't it?
It's fun!
A shop famous for its popular grilled pork rolls with a long line of customers, Yunyun.
The tapioca sweets in this shop are this tapioca jasmine milk tea mochi.
It's fun!
A unique product of Yunyun, which mixed tapioca with popular Chinese sweets, golden mochi.
You can enjoy both the flavor of jasmine tea and the texture of the tapioca.
When you eat it, you can feel the flavor of jasmine milk tea spreading in your mouth.
It's a new texture of the tapioca sweets.
It's fun!
The third shop of the tapioca sweets is a cafe called "belleville" near Kobe-city Hankyu-okamoto station.
This shop has a history of 60 years of operation, and fluffy pancakes are popular in this shop.
When you stack eight pancakes on top of each other,
Eight pancakes !
They are so fluffy !
The pancakes are swaying in front of the camera.
Great !
And the tapioca sweets of this shop are
these tapioca milk pancakes.
Great !
Four pancakes stacked on top of each other,
and whipped cream with black tea flavor,
and soft and chewy tapioca on top of pancakes.
Originally, it was a hidden menu, but since it was popular, it became an official menu.
Fluffy pancakes and chewy tapioca.
It's worth a try.
Here we have three. You want to eat them, don't you?
We have prepared them for you in the studio.
Only those who answer the tapioca quiz correctly will eat them.
Let's start with the first question.
Tapioca was eaten as a snack a hundred years ago.
What is it?
Electricity.
I see.
What did you say just now?
It's "mecha delushe".
Tapioca was eaten as a snack?
Did you hear about it?
I said it clearly.
Did you say "certainly" when you heard about it?
Hey, stop it!
Mildred and Akarin said "tapioca" and pooped a lot.
Mildred said "tapioca" but I didn't like it.
That's how it is.
It's so vulgar.
It's vulgar.
What is it?
B-chan.
Renewed food.
I see.
Akarin.
It's like porridge when you have a cold.
Let's see the correct answer.
It was eaten as a medical food.
Akarin is correct!
It's a medical food?
That's right, teacher.
In 1903, but in 1935,
there was a newspaper called "Houchi Shimbun" and a series called "Shosetsu Shokudouraku".
Tapioca appeared there from time to time.
There were about three types of them as a medical food.
Tapioca was eaten as a meal when you were tired.
Tapioca was eaten like porridge.
Akarin is correct!

The last one is a milk pancake.
- It's like a pancake. - It's so sweet.
- Oh, no. Pancake is so sweet. It melts. - Pancake is so good.
Luxurious! The pancake is really delicious and it seems like the cream really melts and there is also tapioca milk tea.
It's like you drank the tapioca right after you ate the pancake.
I got it.
You got it?
What did you get?
The pancake is really fluffy and when you feel like the texture is not enough, the tapioca comes out at the right place and I am very satisfied.
What?
Satisfied?
What do you mean by "satisfied"?
Satisfied!
You said "siru" (drink) not "siru" (drink)
No, "siru" is also different.
We found out that the sweets made of the tapioca are spread out in various shapes.
And the next sweets that the teacher will teach us are...
The excellent matcha sweets that you want to eat now that it's winter!
Matcha!
Right now, matcha is very popular.
There are more and more foreign travelers, but there are quite a lot of people who come to Japan to eat matcha among foreigners.
I bought a matcha kit from a foreign person who came from Don Quixote.
Matcha kit!
I don't like matcha that much.
Oh, you don't like it either, do you, Yuri?
I don't like matcha that's sweeter.
Oh, I see.
I like matcha that's bitter.
You like it bitter? You don't like it, Mika?
Yes, it's bitter and I can't eat it.
Mika doesn't like it bitter, does she?
Here are the matcha sweets that the teacher will recommend for you to eat now!
Yes!
Winter Matcha
Kinugoshi
Ryokucha
Tiramisu
What is this?
What's going on?
It's a very popular matcha sweet right now.
"Winter Matcha"?
Yes.
Since it's made by hand, it can't be mass- produced.
And it looks like it's inside a pine cone,
but it looks like it's seriously made of tiramisu and matcha.
If you made tiramisu with matcha, it would look like this!
Wow!
Winter Matcha
Chocolaterino
Winter Matcha
Chocolaterino
Winter Matcha
Yes.
There is a specialty store specializing in "Winter Matcha" that opened in 1840,
and this is one of their products.
If you love matcha, you will definitely enjoy matcha.
Yes.
That's how it's made.
"Winter Matcha" is rich in character,
but it's easy to swallow.
It has a richness and a sharpness.
That's how it is.
Yes.
It has a very fluffy texture.
Heaven's Cheesecake
DQ
Yes.
Matcha goes well with cream cakes, right?
Yes.
I recommend you to eat it from the outside.
Yes.
The outside is completely matcha.
You can gradually taste the cheese.
This cheese is quite refreshing,
so it's good to eat it from the outside.
Sensei, you know a lot!
For the recommended matcha sweets,
Yuuri, Mikanyan and Inada of "Penishoga", who don't like matcha, will eat them.
First of all, "Kinugoshi Green Tea Tiramisu" which is said to be 9 months old.
The texture is different from ordinary tiramisu.
It's very smooth and easy to eat.
How is the taste of matcha?
I don't feel much matcha,
but I can taste rich and delicious cream.
I want you to feel matcha.
Next, "Heaven's Cheesecake" "DQ"
Matcha has cheese in it, too.
Yes.
It's delicious!
Is it delicious?
Yes.
Since it's mascarpone cheese, it's very refreshing and goes well with matcha.
How about you, Yuuri?
It's not too strong or too light. It's just right for me.
Even if you don't like matcha, it's delicious.
Yes, it's delicious.
How is the taste of matcha?
I don't really feel it.
Why? We want you to feel matcha.
The last one is Izumo Matcha Chocolaterine, which seems to be the most concentrated.
I like this one the most.
It's bitter.
I think people who like bitter things will like it a lot.
I see.
How is it, Ine-chan?
It might be delicious.
Is it delicious?
It's surprisingly delicious.
Now, let's announce the winner of "Kashiko is not good at all" who was also excellent this week.
The winner will receive a reward and a punishment game.

Kate, 3 years old.
She is wonderful.

If you eat tapioca, do you often go to the bathroom?
It's a mysterious comment.
Why are you making fun of me?
You are really making fun of me.
You really look like a tapioca.
If you get the correct answer, you will get a real tapioca.
We have prepared six photos of the tapioca.

In 2020 Tokyo Olympics, endangered species invaded Japan.
Dr. Goka explains it thoroughly.
What are endangered species that have made new progress?
Endangered species gourmet also appears!
