Japan is a real wonderland when it comes to neat little toys, gadgets and fun candies — navigating the variety of Kit Kats alone could be its own article. If you're new to the country, it may be hard to tell which treats are worth your yen, and that's where YouTube helps.
YouTubers are increasingly becoming the soldiers of Cool Japan. Vloggers film their trips to tourist spots in the countryside, explore the latest anime or record verdicts on the newest snacks on sale. While the field of English YouTubers is fairly large, Priscila Kuriyama Lohmann and Tales Jonathan Lohmann — who go by Prit and Lohgann on YouTube — seem to have cornered the Portuguese-language market on Japan-themed videos with their channel Japao Nosso De Cada Dia (Japan Our Daily Bread).
The couple's videos are simple, with many of the newer ones taking place in their home in front of a bookshelf stacked with toy Pokemon dolls and Nintendo characters. In one of their latest installments, they try out pink and blue curries (surprisingly enjoying them) and recently they demonstrated kendama, a traditional Japanese toy. The curry clip racked up more than 200,000 views in a day and the kendama one stands at more than 400,000 after a week. One of the couple's most popular videos, in which they try out a plastic ball that makes ice cream, is on its way to hitting 2.5 million views.
