Salmiakki + Japanese people = Hilarity ensues

[VorpalDrake]

I still remember the 1st time I tried this. I was slightly tipsy at that time, and my Finnish friend offered me a piece that was pharmaceutical grade. I sobered up at once. LOL. Took a liking to it (I'm Asian btw), but never had the... ah... fortitude to consume more than just a tiny mouthful in one sitting XD

[VorpalDrake]

@VorpalDrake Just yesterday, 2 of my friends were drinking, and one them convinced the other guy to pour out a quarter glass of Salmiakki alcohol, and the latter kept trying to pour it into to the former's glass of moscato whenever they toasted, after the first sip, LOL! XD

[Emjuso]

@mvpsfin Salmiakki on semmonen karkki et vaatii totutteluu, suomalaiset ei huomaa siinä mitään outoa kun on pennuista syöneet sitä. Ei kaikki tietenkään, mut kuiteski.

[VaitiOlo]

I just love Japanese people :) and I just love Salmiakki as well :)

Except that Japanese whalers and dolphin killers should drown and be castrated - and I do hope everyone eating those will get somekind of bad illness.

Peace & out

[piraan2]

This was fun. Salmiakki(liquorice)and ruisleipä(rye bread)was two things i missed abroad.

[MrAnonize]

En kyllä tajuu miks ihmiset ei tykkää salmiakista, jopa turistioppaat kehottaa välttää ne. Salmiakki on just hyvää! / I dont get it why people dont like salty liquorice, even tourist guides says not to taste it. Salty liquorice is just delicious!

[0Kajja0]

@MesiveloniFin I know right! I'm Swedish and can eat buckets of salty liquorice. If I ever go to Japan I will probably get depressed because of the lack of it lol

poor non-scandinavians don't know what they are missing ^^

[AdriannaBrielle]

[TheKreatori]

[Ziikuje]

Salmiakki jäätelö on aivan vitun hyvää

[Hetaliaonparas]

Salmiakki <3

[XplosivCookie]

What's wrong with Salmiakki? You should see how we react to Japanese candy, my friend once brought some to Finland from his trip. HORRIBLE.

[NinnuOmena]

I love Salmiakki but I love Japanese too!!! :D

[KuinKuu]

We had a Japanese, Chinese and Thai exchange student at our school and they didn't like salmiakki. :D But the Austrian girl liked it.

I'm from Finland and I don't remember what salmiakki tastes like but I have a feeling that I don't like it. Hmm, I think I have to go and buy it tomorrow just to make sure.

Once we actually made salmiakki in the chemistry class. It was like white powder and tasted just like salmiakki. In shops salmiakki is black and they are like candies.

[pautzikawauwau]

I love salmiakki !

[Elves4me2]

It's not that bad you just have to get used to it :D

[SKRONQVIST]

SALMIAKKI NAM NAM

[ownedzaros]

a 4 years old finnish girl would handle salmiakki much better than these guys

[Iltahopea]

hoksasin vasta loppupuolella videota, että koko sen ajan olin imeskellyt ihan hyvillä mielin salmiakkia itse :D

[TheBazooka120]

[Scandinavian92]

[zekk0ut]

[2DeathComesSlowly1]

0:02 tuli vesi kielelle... O_O

[mikila94]

Salmiakki tastes BAD! Believe me I know, I threw up last time my sister accidentally gave some to me.

[tonzatube]

@mikila94 I don't believe cause i eat it regularly, i buy back almost everytime i visit the store. I <3 Salmiakki

[mikila94]

@tonzatube

Then don´t but it´s the truth. Everyone can´t like everything :)

[HenzQh]

Se, joka ei tykkää salmiakista, suolakurkuista ja graavilohesta ei ole kunnon suomalainen...

[Padam91]

@HenzQh Salmiakki ja graavilohi on herkkua, mutta suolakurkut? Mitähän suomalaista niissä muka on...

[HeLLoWeGGa]

I'M FINNISH AND I LOVE SALMIAKKI!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3

[JackSparrowILU]

Hey, I'm Finnish and I don't like salmiakki either, but it's not THAT bad..? :D

[funwithgoats01]

[Ameagari25]

[Rusher4444]

@Ameagari25 Ur a cool guy

[MGSoldier]

Poor Japanese people can't handle it :D

[BlizBob]

Ja seuraavaksi tarjolla salmaria.

Enjoy...

[ilmanmuutajamuutilma]

Man i would be rich in there,i would gamble about that which can eat more of them,me or japanese people...

[LordVili]

Salmiakki is a chemical mix.

[MeanchildIiGoodchild]

Jesus...eaven litle kids eat those here

[jullis101]

OMG. D: I crying now. I LOVE SAMIAKKI ♥♥♥ I'm Finnish.

[VzR69]

Salmiakki is just awesome. I can't wait to go to California next year - I'll stockpile some salmiakki that I can take with me :3

[riadtel22]

can someone explain what is it salmiaki and wasabi and natto ?? please!

[soylentgreenb]

@riadtel22 Salmiakki is salty liquorice in some form(it can be hard like a lolipop, it can be so chewy its almost like a raw leather chew-toy for dogs or soft like fudge or jelly). It is usually made with ammonium chloride rather than regular table salt. Sometimes a tinge of smoke-flavour is added.

Wasabi is a green paste that tastes like horseradish or a strong mustard without the salt, sugar and vinegar.

[spadehatesscrewtube]

@riadtel22 well, as others have said, wasabi is like a hot mustard .. sort of, most like horseradish, but a bit stronger. personally i love hot/spicy foods but good lord, salty licorice? i dont like black licorice to begin with, thats .. ewww. no, just no. i've never tried natto, but i've had some raw/fermented soybean drinks .. theyre an acquired taste for sure, but i like them. usually the sushi i eat always has at least some wasabi in it. i draw the line at thai chilies though.

[EneriGiilaan]

I'm a Salmiakki addict myself - but this specific brand they use here (probably on purpose) tastes just awful.

[Epijacke]

Karkista en oikein välitä, mut salmiakkia ostan lähes joka kauppareissulla...

[FireSath]

Ymmärrän mistä tää salmiakkivitsi on päätäny Hetaliaan. 8D

[Teqo7]

Salmiakki is not bad. It just sticks to your teeth :D

[Dyrri94]

I don't like Salmiakki either, but I can still "handle" it without making faces. O_o I guess it really is an acquired taste.

[HannaFinland]

It's not a chili.

[oosajee]

yep, I made the mistake of bringing my host family Salmiakki when I went to Japan few years back.... They thought I tried to poison them :D

[enizbib]

There are so many kind of salmiakki, hottest ones does same kind of reactions you can see in this video even to most of Finns.

[pitkajousi]

Too Much Fish..

[NikuKadosh]

Interesting, now i feel pretty curious about the taste. Is it spicy or only salty, does it "burns" like some liquor or its a different feeling. In México we have lots of spicy and salty sweets and desserts "Saladitos" are what came to my mind after watching this video, after reading that Samiakki means Salty liquorice (Regaliz in spanish) i'm thinking in "Borrachitos" liquor flavored sweets and "Licor de Nanche" something like umeshu but made of Nanches

[MultiJerkku]

@NikuKadosh Yeah its pretty salty and burns like some liquor.

[Miqimus]

I want salmiac now! FFS, gonna get one tomorrow!

[Zestaru]

I'm Finnish and I hate both salmiakki AND wasabi. :D

[MrThudley]

Salmiakki on parasta. xD

You crazy people, it's so good!

[TheAmazinganime]

It seem they don't like it... Even tought it's so good. But maybe it 's something you need time get used to. I myself didn't like it when I was child (even tought I'm finnish), but now I love it.

[ryuuto69cat]

ahah my reaction was the same at first.. but now i love salmiakki!

[Ansuliz]

ei oikein salmiakkii kestäny:D

[Ansku1997]

Mie en kylläkään tykkää yhtään salmiakista, vaikka olen ihan suomalainen XDD

[BrightNight03]

Salmiac is really bad. Don't know why people eat it.

[BollyWoodia]

@BrightNight03 no it's not! >:D It's delicious~ ICould buy some after school, mabey tomorrow...?

Wanna come with me?

[BrightNight03]

@BollyWoodia sure. maybe i will buy something delicious. you know like chocolate. i love chocolate.

[BollyWoodia]

@BrightNight03 yeah, it's ok, but not so good ;)

Well see you tomorrow then! Good night!

[DpbProductionz]

come on, it can't be THAT bad, I mean it may taste weird but seriously? :D It's like they're eating acid or something.

[BrightNight03]

@DpbProductionz have you ever tasted it? 'cause it is bad.

[DpbProductionz]

@BrightNight03 I love it (I'm Finnish though but still). Maybe you just have to get used to it as a kid or something. But for me and basically anyone here it's just like any other candy.

[BrightNight03]

@DpbProductionz mä olen suomalainen myös, mutta silti en tykkää siitä. :)

[LenTheKagamine]

8DD Hyvä tyypit! Mäkin vihaan salmiakkia!

[coloreel]

salmiakki ja laku on parhaita karkkeja.

[tangbein]

Don't get what's so wrong about salmiakki?:P I love salmiakki /lakris!

[JapanBandit]

♥ Salmiakki

[Jennyksi]

I love Salmiakki ♥

[pekir18]

I can't understand why so many people hates Salmiakki. I think it's best eatable thing in the world :) maybe it is cultural differences, like i don't understand all what comes from Japan tho O.o Love & Peace -Salmiakkihullu

[DeathRow200]

i love salmiakki :D

[AleKaiLin]

HAHAH laughed my ass off, i´m half finnish and i hate it too!! XD

[VillNessPSN]

Pigs urine was used in salmiakki some time ago. It gave it the unique taste ;) :D I guess they don't use it nowadays?

[Bggromance]

this happens with Americans, Koreans, Germans etc. i tried to give it to my friends once, and well.. they don't appreciate it as much as i do as a native Finn :D

[az192033]

salmiakki on hyväääääääääää

[ImperfectApplePie]

i love salmiakki but the one they gave to them is horrible :DD

[MelanesianChinese]

Japanese people do not have salmiakki but I think it will taste nice

[xamuli]

I have lived my whole life in Finland and I have eaten lot's of salmiakki but I don't like the taste anyway, I can eat it but I don't enjoy it.

[misa795]

If u come to Finland, DO NOT buy or taste salmiakki-chocolade!!! im from finland and i hate it. -i love salmiakki :D

[95silvermoon]

@misa795 What? Salmiakki-chocolade is good too! Just like normal salmiakki :D

[NekoGirl1122]

Damn, now I want to eat salmiakki too >.< ....salmiakki-chocolate.... *drool*

[xptrinity]

Hahaha, this is mean!

[KPCcovers]

toi on pahaa XD

[Jusuuw]

vois kokeilla kaikemaailma muitaki salmiaiikei ja lakritseita.. Lakritsijäde o hyvää :33♥

[Runkuz]

You can't really compare salmiakki and wasabi. If you've ever eaten mustard (which I know all of you Finns have), you can handle wasabi. If you really want to grasp the concept of an acquired taste I recommend you to taste some fremented soy beans, aka natto. Most Japanese people have been eating natto since they were children and really enjoy the taste... Most westerners on the other hand want to throw up from the smell alone. Natto for them is just like salmiakki for us.

[SuomiRS]

@Runkuz Ive eaten few times Natto, but I havent enjoyed it. :/

[SuomiRS]

@Runkuz Well I do love beans in my chocolate bar, but otherwise.. :D

[mamarieeeh]

Toihan on super salmiakkii, oisvat nyt ees syöttäny oikeeta !

[SuomiBroadcast]

I`m Finnish and wasabi does this to me :D

[FrogFreag]

salmiakkiiii jipiii

[xXJennyRulezXx]

Dude I wanna try it XD

No no... Nevermind... No I don't o_o

[jerseydevs2000]

It's funny, I happen to be in Japan at the moment, and just saw a Japanese actor/comedian gag on some salmiakki on TV. So I googled it to find out what it was... and a link to this video came up.

[escamillion]

wat. I visited Japan when i was 12years old and tried their candies. I can tell you. It was the weirdest thing. I couldn't believe they would actually like it or consider as a candy. So i'm actually surprised they dont like it.

[softgogamer]

I could eat hole box of salmiak and doesn' feel it

[AndroidiNro17]

Give them mämmi, and then I understand their ensues :D 

[YamiSatoshi]

Salmiakki's awesome! (It's also a lot of fun telling people my favourite snack is "salty liquorice" and seeing their reaction.) Come on, you guys; they're not exactly feeding you poison here!

[kiri241]

I want to try this candy!

[MrBurgeri]

I like both salmiakki and wasabi. I guess that makes me abnormal.

[DerpDerpDerification]

1:18 -1:21: My God, that has to be the cutest reaction ever. THE SOUND SHE MAKES :'D Oh god, laughing so hard.

[zarahiann]

(I'm from finland) We did salmiakki on our chemistry class... It didn't taste so good, but you could still eat it

BTW Salmiakki rules! ♥

[FinlandFlubber]

Miten ei voi tykätä salmiakiasta?

How Can you not like it?!?

[SonikkuMarsu]

Maailma vihaa Suomalaiset rakastaa XD onhan se ainaski parempaa kuin wasabi : D Yea greetings from Finland :))))
