24hrs in Fukuoka: DON'T Miss Out On These Foods! 🍜

Book now on byFood.com: bit.ly/4a6mVRO
Fukuoka, located on the island of Kyushu, is arguably one of Japan’s best cities for food lovers! Join Shizuka as she continues her tasty tour of Fukuoka by checking out a selection of the best food stops in town.
The journey begins as our hungry host meets Mason, a Fukuoka-based food tour guide. Shizuka and Mason join forces and head to their first food stop of the day, 72-hour chicken skin skewers at Torikawa Daijin. This restaurant sells a whopping 800,000 skewers per month! Next, our fearless duo follow their baked-good cravings to Mentaiko France Bakery, where they try mentaiko (cod roe) bread. After this, Shizuka and Mason take a brief cultural detour and visit the sacred Kushida Shrine.
Having walked off some of the day’s meals, Shizuka and Mason reward themselves with Hakata-style ramen at Hakataya Ramen! Serving mouthwatering ramen for just 290 yen per bowl, this restaurant defines bang-for-buck dining. Hakata-style ramen is characterized by its rich, creamy pork bone broth, thin straight noodles, and simple toppings, making it a beloved regional dish. The final stop on this food tour is Mitsuya Seikaen, a renowned tea house established over 300 years ago. They enjoy various Fukuoka-style teas (hon gyokuro) and wagashi (Japanese sweets).

the 300 year old substance hostage situation in the united states has us rapidly running out of topsoil and fossil water resources. there has got to be some other socially acceptable way to over through the government; besides african heroin injection prior to, or shortly following, inauguration.

[@MADEINKYUSHU]

Hi, it's Mason. Thank you, Shizuka, and the team for having me. Thanks to everyone's kind guidance, I was able to get through the shoot despite being nervous during my first filming🥶 The fantastic filming and editing techniques truly captured the charm of Fukuoka, and I'm thrilled with the result. I look forward to meeting many guests here in Fukuoka. Arigato~~~😭

[@hitachicordoba]

Good Job!

[@rocketreindeer]

You did a great job. Didn't seem nervous at all and I think people will like you. You're interesting and shared the fun of the experiences with Shizuka in a considerate way.

[@MADEINKYUSHU]

Arigatou gozaimasu 🙇🏻‍♂@@hitachicordoba

[@MADEINKYUSHU]

@@rocketreindeer Thank you for the warm comments☺ I'm glad it seemed like I wasn't nervous. LOL It's all thanks to the byFood team!

[@happy_camper]

Nice work Mason!! Fukuoka is a foodie's dream! I can't wait to be there.

[@samanthawauthier-paspuleti1992]

Your co-host for this episode has enthusiasm at all the right moments. Food culture is such a gift. 😊

[@traceypotter7669]

The gentleman serving the tea has my heart. Even if I can't understand him without subtitles, his narrative is mesmerising and draws you in. I could listen to gim for hours!

[@JapanbyFood]

It is the voice!!!!

[@coty9184]

Shizuka & Mason make great hosts! They compliment each other so well on this tour! Shizuka & Mason both analyze the many tastes of Fukuoka's different foods and drinks so well! Mason makes an excellent co-host in this video - you can tell he enjoys sharing Fukuoka cuisine! Great video I can not wait to try some of these foods!

[@_ti0n]

Oooooh Fukuoka sounds wicked! The cohost also looks like a studdddddddddd

[@JapanbyFood]

It was a lot of fun!

[@paulocoelho558]

Thrilled to have Shizuka back! Her presence adds so much positivity and good vibes!🐈😉👋🏻

[@happy_camper]

Shizzy is such an easygoing and natural presenter!

[@Lawrencedimayuga]

Shizuka’s back!! Yayyyyyy we love it🎉🎉🎉

[@calnative4904]

So good to see Shizuka. All three locations were interesting but my pick would be the fresh baked bread with the roe. I've never heard of anything like it, but it looked delicious.

[@davidinouye2606]

The torikawa looked so delicious and mouthwatering Shizuka! I definitely will try the chicken skewer when I go to Fukuoka next year. Arigatou Shizuka and please thank Mason for me. Mason was a cool tour guide!

[@JapanbyFood]

Torikawa was amazing! please try it when you go!

[@rocketreindeer]

That.. was amazing. I definitely need to try that chicken skin. The story of the 300 year old tea place and the fire was amazing. Where I live, it's a miracle if a restaurant lasts more than ten years. Mason was great, and like others have said, Shizuka looks super cool in her dress. I know an artist guy in Fukuoka who is super talented.

[@dyrim3492]

That chicken skin and Tea, I want to visit them!

[@gilly5599]

I love Fukuoka, and I miss it a lot. 😊😊

[@AVan-xg9vy]

The chicken skin skewers are definitely my favorite. Actually just returned from my Japan trip (25 days in Japan)!!!🥰

[@jordanmarcus]

Yay! It’s the return of the gangsta Shizuka 🥰 What a fabulous tour, the highlight for me was the green tea finale. Fascinating how each pour brings out different unique qualities of the tea leaf. An exquisite experience to be sure!

[@jimmyhedrick807]

This tour was very interesting. The food looks delicious. I really enjoyed the green tea segment. Thanks for sharing!

[@SuicidaL10dencY]

Love Fukuoka. The food is so good. Definitely going back again!

[@JapanbyFood]

You should!

[@juliusdelacruz7549]

Pls. More fukuoka pls. My fave city in all Japan!!❤❤

[@JapanbyFood]

We love it too!

[@kkostyniuk]

Great job, Mason! All the food recommendations looked amazing 👏

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you!! 😁

[@sakuratelevision]

Oh..great video clip. We will be in Kyushu May-June 2024. Certainly, we will visit some of your recommended places. Thank you always!

[@JapanbyFood]

Please check out these places!

[@Chuck8541]

I want some of that chicken skin that was grilled! lol And that ramen pricing is insane! Deffo on my list to check out with By Food when I get there!

[@Chris-xj4kk]

Love ❤️ your program!!! Always interesting and entertaining!!!

[@TheBradylands]

Can't believe I'm first looking forward to another great video

[@wynnekalish561]

Glad to see Shizuka is back!

[@perdomot]

This video gave me some good ideas for my next trip to Japan as I've always wanted to visit Fukuoka and plan on doing so next year.

[@xxCablexx]

oh some more Fukuoka spots I want to try, I'm definitely supporting the Ramen joint, the city looks great I love the walks

[@JapanbyFood]

Please do!

[@Tom_tran1]

love your channel ❤

[@YourMajestyTheKing]

$2 is like 300 yen i think. 300 yen in Japan can buy lots of food. I so so so so miss Japan. I love!!!! The buffet breakfast at the Tokyo Dome Hotel. I wish to work remotely and live there. In terms of the Shrine. I suspect that they do something. But not the actual thing u ask for. Could be someone else in my family asked for Romance for me. But as soon as i am back. I got "Romance curse" two times in two days. Anyway love Japan!!

[@joyyonba4853]

I love you Shizuka!

[@PeachyAenne]

I'm a recent sub, but I've been really enjoying your videos and I had to pop in a comment because THAT DRESS! It's so cute! Also i love putting your playlists on while I'm getting ready for my trip to Japan. Thank you so much for all the great content!

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you so much!!

[@mbymariahjenae]

Sitting in KITTE right now wondering where I should go next - I’m gonna walk to Hakataya Ramen next! ^.^ Fantastic video~

[@stevend9527]

What a priceless insights. Definitely learned few more intresting things about Fukuoka's food. We have been there a few times but didn't know much about the chicken skin and the story behind Mentaiko. 🙌 That hakata ramen shop prices are ridiculously cheap, it's insane considering the raising cost of the products worldwide. JAPAN always stand out about this price aspect. 💕

[@emdotudot]

I love you, Shizuka !

[@01seiyer74]

いいお店選んでますね、どこも外国の方にいってもらいたいですね。さすがに福岡はいいお店が多すぎて迷ったでしょうね、 あと数回は福岡でひっぱってもらいたいです。いつもながら撮影編集素晴らしいです。今回はさわやかな装いのSHIZUKAさんでしたね。映像ともよく合ってます。🤩

[@Ricochet622]

I was patiently waiting for the Sunday drop on yet another amazing episode and of course, you guys do not disappoint! Good job everyone! As tea has such an important culture in Japan, I was surprised Tetsubin isn't mentioned, and a Kyusu was used for the Yame tea, so interesting! :)

[@JapanbyFood]

More to come!

[@shetravelssolo6738]

See you in Fukuoka next week! Great information arigatou!

[@JapanbyFood]

Have fun!

[@ChineseKitchen-ox5nc]

It looks very appetizing, and the preparation method is clear. I can also make delicious food at home.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

I paid $28.00 dollars ( 2800 yen ) AUSTRALIA in Melbourne for a bowl of Hakata ramen and Ippudo but not as good as an average ramen in Fukuoka . 😅

*gasp* its not often ive seen a show were shizuka missed out having a cold beer 🍺 great show as always team japan by food.

[@jeemoon1626]

Idk if occupying Korea and mentaiko being brought back from there is a “cool” part of history, but yes.

[@DelphiAmnestied]

I'm definitively born in wrong place.

[@nepaliunderratedmusic]

Who actually pays for all food and drinks? The rest of the food are thrown or eaten by crew?

[@JapanbyFood]

byFood has us covered! And we usually eat the food together!

[@nepaliunderratedmusic]

@@JapanbyFood Lucky! Reminds me of a song Lucky by Japanese band Supercar.

Very cool history? What history? Japanese colonial era???

[@TheOriginalGabberjaw]

*It'S LiKE tHe cRisPy sKIn oN fRiED cHiCKeN* Girl, that's literally fried chicken... but only the skin... Also, you said it tastes smoky. But then you said you can't beleive it's not deep fried. Since when does deep fried food taste smoky?

[@jeffreychongsathien]

72 hours to cook chicken skin is stupid. It can be cooked to a crisp in 7.2 minutes.

[@mikeunconfirmed1489]

5:33 Please don’t think that any part of the Japanese occupation of Korea is “Cool” history. It is incredibly insensitive.

[@yeumee]

Relax, she just mentioned the history piece of it and its origin, that's it.

[@mikeunconfirmed1489]

@@yeumee describing it as “interesting” would be one thing but “cool”? Nothing about murder, rape and theft is “cool”, even if it lead to the Japanese adopting a Korean food item.

[@yeumee]

@@mikeunconfirmed1489 I know nothing I say will make this conversation any better, but you're blowing this way out of proportion. We all know the horrible crimes committed during war time, but this is just how a food came about. What do you want her to say "oh this food came about after Japan went about mass pillaging and raping/killing poor innocent people, so we should be ashamed when even trying to talk about food"? Nothing she talked about implied that the crimes committed were cool.

[@Ricktards]

occupation of korean -- very cool history!

[@SiKedek]

Lived in Fukuoka for four years - really miss the food scene there!
