Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello!
So, this one.
Chandelier-san.
Okay. Thank you.
Hello, Kevin-san and Yama-san.
Hello.
For the past year, I have been listening to your podcast in the bath and enjoying studying it.
I am a fourth-year university student.
The other day, you were doing a project where you collected blue sweets.
Yes.
I thought of something after watching that video, so let me make a suggestion.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh.
I have never eaten a blueberry flavor before, so I watched the video while imagining it.
I look forward to your suggestions for the project.
I look forward to your future activities.
Yeah.
Did you think it was 梅?
Not really.
No, I mean, I understand it.
I understand that opinion, though.
I didn't, like, fully, like, thought, fully felt that's 梅味.
Yeah, I understand it. It's sour. It's true. Yeah.
It's like, it's citrusy.
Yeah, yeah.
Right? It's fruity.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that's why.
Yeah. I agree. I mean, I understand it. I can understand it.
But, yeah.
Did you?
Well...
Do you know the 梅味?
Yeah, I, um...
I used to love to drink the, like, 梅のなんかジュースあるよね。
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, in vending machines.
Oh, yes.
I like that.
Oh, I remember that.
I used to drink that.
Little cup ones, right?
Yeah, I think so.
I used to buy that.
Let's say I go to Onsen or something.
That's, like, one of the top ones that I buy.
Like, 梅ドリンク.
Yeah, they were good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I liked that.
So, I know what it tastes like.
Do I think it's similar to Blue Raspberry?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Huh.
True.
So, it's like, to me, the whole taste of Blue Raspberry.
Yeah, Blue Raspberry.
Blue Raspberry.
In that, you can find 梅 similar kind of taste in the whole big, you know, Blue Raspberry taste.
You can find it.
Yeah.
That's my image.
I see.
So, Blue Raspberry is a little bit bigger.
Yeah.
Well, like, 梅 is like this.
Blue Raspberry is like this, I guess.
Also, kind of, like, there's a spot that overlaps.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see.
But Blue Raspberry is more, like, first of all, sweet.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
It's more...
Absolutely.
03:00
It's difficult, but American to me.
Okay.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
So, even to me, like, even I taste that 梅味.
I don't think that's really similar to Blue Raspberry 味.
Ah.
So...
Yeah.
I think I'll be able to tell the difference.
Like, if I were given a candy, this is 梅, this is Blue Raspberry.
I think I can tell the difference, though.
Yeah.
I think so.
But to you, is that same?
I can.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, you mean, like, because I said, I think?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To me, it's, like, too obvious.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, yeah.
I think it's in the obvious stage.
Like, when I...
It's in my mouth.
It's like, yeah, this is 梅.
This is Blue Raspberry.
I think I can, like, spot it really fast.
I see.
So, to you, it's, like, two different tastes.
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, I don't...
I can't remember the last time I've had an 梅 flavored anything.
So, I don't know.
I don't...
Maybe my memory isn't as crystal clear.
But, you know, I think I can tell the difference, though.
Right.
You know?
Yeah, I agree with that.
Yeah.
So, like, watching that video and imagining the taste,
how everything, Blue Raspberry taste, like, replacing the 梅 taste,
to me, like, that's kind of not the same exactly.
Yeah.
So...
Yeah, right, right.
What would you...
How can 梅 taste be more close to Raspberry taste?
I would say something like...
I would add a little bit of a sweetness to it.
Yeah, obviously, yes.
Yeah, it's got...
It's a sweet and sour type of flavor, right?
Blue Raspberry.
And let me go grab a sweet...
Let me go grab a Raspberry candy.
Yeah.
Because, to me, that...
Like, it wasn't that sour.
It's, like, mainly that was sweet.
There we go.
So, got myself a Jolly Rancher here.
Yeah.
And a Trident, because I remember this being a very pure form of Blue Raspberry.
Okay, okay.
Let's go for this one.
Can I try that, too?
Yes.
Thank you.
You want to try?
Yeah.
I'm starting to lose confidence in whether if I can tell the difference between an Ume and a Blue Raspberry.
Really?
Yes.
I'm starting to lose...
I think it's quite similar.
Similar?
Yeah.
Than I had in my mind.
We need...
We need a Ume snack.
Like, to me...
Yeah, true.
I've been...
I've been...
06:00
I love those, like...
You know, Ume...
Umeboshi.
The Ume itself, not the Ume-tasted chewing candies or those.
Many experiences on Ume snacks.
You like the Ume.
Yeah.
The pure Ume.
So, from those, to me, that's really, like, different, far away.
I think about that, I don't have clear memory of me trying the Ume-tasted candy like that.
Have you ever tried the Ume gum? The Japanese Ume gum?
No.
What other Ume candies are out there in the market?
Ume Yoroshi.
Ume Yoroshi?
What's that?
Ume Yoroshi?
I think it's...
Isn't that, like, a drink or something?
No.
And also, Noshiume.
Noshiume?
Noshiume is like a sheet.
It's the one you...
It's, like, more like a pure...
Yeah, like, the upper...
Like, this kind of...
Umeboshi sheet.
Yeah.
That's Noshiume.
I see Umeneri a lot.
Umeneri.
Is it?
Yeah.
I've never seen that.
Very common.
Is that?
The candy, you know?
Yeah.
Karikari Ume.
Karikari Ume.
That's what I like.
But I think Karikari was different from the Blue Raspberry.
That's Ume, right?
Yeah.
It's, like, the very sour-y Ume.
I feel like if you chew something like...
Ume no gum.
You have Ume gum?
Kore.
I've never seen that.
Ume gum.
Ume gum.
Is it similar?
I feel like it's similar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would love to try this one.
Yeah.
To compare.
To see if it's similar.
Right?
Yeah.
Can we buy this at, like, anywhere?
Like, those supermarkets?
Yeah, I think so.
Like, I...
Or konbini?
Yeah, like...
Yeah, konbini, super.
I think they sell it.
Yeah.
Right.
It'll be interesting.
Yeah, it'll be interesting.
It'll be fun to do.
Yeah.
It'll be fun.
Maybe not for YouTube, but maybe we can do it here.
Yeah.
Just try it out.
Right.
Yeah.
All right.
We'll give it a try.
Yeah.
All right.
Good.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Excuse me.
