We did a Blind Taste Test involving a series of unfamiliar, or downright bizarre foodstuffs – and we got it all on camera.
The cynical and sarcastic commentator/comedian Ryota Yamasato has married actress Yu Aoi. We at Yeat wish nothing but the best for the happy couple and would like to remind you that true love exists off the set of a reality show. Their relationship will last a long time, especially since Yama-chan has seen all the worst things one can do in a relationship in his four seasons of Terrace House.
It’s been reported that Yama-chan may have started his advances with a first date under the guise of offering up the promise of Terrace House gossip. The second date was offering even more Terrace House gossip. We expected nothing less of Yama-chan to play to his strengths.

This innovative foodstuff has been called the “fourth kind of chocolate.” (It also cost 400 yen per stick, about $3.60 USD at the time.)
A year later, in 2019, Nestlé Canada released the Ruby Kit Kat. The rose-tinted packaging boasts these special beans and having ‘no added colour’ which is important when talking about a pink-coloured chocolate bar. Canada is already host to a bevy of different chocolates, even beyond Kit Kat’s impressive domestic portfolio, but this was the first pink chocolate bar to be commercially-available. To understand the difference, one should look at the origin of the cocoa bean itself.
