Such a pleasure to be able to embark on this entertaining exploration with Shizuka! They’re keeping the speakeasy tradition alive japanese style

Whoever did the description and even added Google Map links is da real mvp.

[@JapanbyFood]

[@raymondcenteno5835]

For real, I don't know if I could wander around trying to look for these places unlike Shizuka.

[@roselightmoon]

This was such a fun tour of all those hidden gems! I love how each one was so thematic. Also glad to see Shizuka appears to have recovered from losing her voice

[@JapanbyFood]

yay! It was fun for us too!

[@calnative4904]

This was fantastic, what a blast. I would really enjoy this even at my age. Shizuka you are incredible, thanks so much for sharing these unique fun places.

[@JapanbyFood]

It really is fun!

[@BoyAditya]

Best way to start your monday; watching shizuka's food and beverages adventure

This is a very great episode! The iguana resto takes its vibe/design to another level! Kudos!!!

[@JapanbyFood]

Magical world!

[@benhizzle]

I love all three restaurants, it’s too hard to decide. I really like the entrance to Igu & Peace and the way you pushed that iguana to open the bookshelf door 🦎

[@JapanbyFood]

It was sooo fun!

[@hawaiioahu2800]

Great content as usual and Shizuka is always fun to embark on the journey with! Thanks for all the tips, I'm always looking for new things to do in Tokyo! :)

Hey, thanks for the fun episode! Very creative and inventive! I hope to be able to visit these bars or similar. So cool!!

Please visit! It is worth it!

[@deletedwaffles]

These videos are such vibes. The way it's shot and the music that accompanies it and with Shizuka's cheery demeanor. It's all good.

[@JapanbyFood]

Glad to hear that!

[@jessie6236]

I am so glad I found this channel, it's awesome! So hard to find good authentic content without it being clickbait-y or over the top. P.S. does anyone know the rooftop where Shizuka was in the intro? I'd love to go there :)

[@stevend9527]

Love these kind of little hidden spot. GREAT job Shizuka. 👏👏

[@Bad_Karma1968]

As always another great Shizuka vlog liked the skeleton in the bath 😊 Gotta love it Shizuka “ I’m having a party but on my own “ has camera crew with her lol 😂

[@JapanbyFood]

We can't really participate until the very end TT It is still fun tho!

[@craign7995]

Wow! So cool! Thanks Shizuka!

This video was a lot of fun. Keep up the good work

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MrKept1]

I went to Igu&Peace last year and had such a great time. Staff was the best and we only went for cocktails but they even gave us a free dessert. I'll be going back again next month! Great video. Definitely wanna try the first location MichinaKimichi.

[@JapanbyFood]

Oh how fun! Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

What a cool episode!

[@jojosmith1097]

The places are amazing. I can hardly wait to try and "Find" these hidden gems

[@JapanbyFood]

Have fun!

[@cafesteve7356]

These are always great to watch. The first place was my favorite because of the refrigerator door but really enjoyed the overall theme.

[@JapanbyFood]

Glad you like them!

[@slide7132]

Thank you Shizuka, great video, I thought the third restaurant was best.

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching!

Very very cool! Greetings from Aruba.

Heard about your channel on my flight with ANA. They have a video of your scallop journey in their travel directory. Glad to have the algorithm bring me back in.

[@zakkwylde72]

Shizuka keeps the good vibe always, going to Japan again in May and we will eat and drink in some of her recommended places... 😋

[@JapanbyFood]

Let us know how you like it!

[@deebzeal8204]

OMGGG loving all these hidden cafes!! Esp the last one 😍😍 It's definitely the kind of place I would never get bored going to with all the different seating areas... I wish my country has hidden cafes too ☹️

[@goldenlion105]

Love this channel and her personality.

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for your support!

[@davidinouye2606]

All the three Izakaya restaurants were so cool Shizuka! It was amazing how you were able to find the entrance to the restaurants. Kanpai to you but I've always wondered how you stay sober. I would have been plastered!

[@JapanbyFood]

For real! Shizuka is strong!

[@xylitol0524]

Great and informative video as always, coming from Shizuka's #1 fan :)

[@JapanbyFood]

Glad to hear! ^^

[@paulocoelho558]

Awesome episode on hidden Tokyo bars! For added intrigue and mystery, consider hiding the video cleverly to match the theme. I would suggest that Shizuka hides the video in her backpack inside a Pokemon USB stick (I know for sure she has one of those)! Keep it up! 🤪😉😄😽

[@mnmaddict37532]

You're a trooper Shizuka! Tequila shot and over powering uni at Moss. I can see myself hanging out at Igu & Peace.

[@JapanbyFood]

These places are a lot of fun!

[@DjWarp79]

Thank you for this videos. I have something new to visit when we go back to Japan. By the way I love your jacket. As always you are so pretty.

[@drewcorry5056]

Absolutely Loved that you had to open a refrigerator door to get into this bar, even loved more seeing your 1ST reaction. The Cheese quesadilla looks so yummy and delicious. Welcome to your magical world open the vending machine go in and close it. Cheers on a double shot of tequila to start your meal. Yum meatballs. Insert for the next hidden bar.Where could it be??I also would have tried the soda machine. Welcome to the entrance of Hogwarts. Love the dining room with the skeleton. Awesome glowing drink in the treasure box. Yum coconut. I was extremely surprised when the waiter said Chicago. Extra cheese pizza looks so delicious and yummy. Absolutely Loved Every Second // Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish

[@JapanbyFood]

So happy to hear that!

I like Japan’s cozy neighborhoods, they got very low crime rate, all the eateries looks like they got characters, places that I would go to eat and hang out with family and friends, great food, and the streets and places are clean.

[@HawaiiJapan808]

Good stuff. I went to find all 3 last night. Keep em coming 🤙🏽

I can eat your typical easy chopstick foods, but a quesadilla?! That’s next level. 😂👏👏👏

:D

[@bwest6275]

This is so cool! 🫶

[@srellison561]

I subscribed to your channel today. I love Japan. I had a wonderful time when I went there, and I wish I could go again. I probably don't have enough info for you to find it, but there's a bar, I think in Kabukicho, in one of those alley sized streets. The entrance looks like part of a wooden wall. If you look closely, there's a section of wall that looks kind of like a Dutch door, but only the bottom opens, and you have to duck to get in. I wish I had more info, but that's all I've got. I love the food in Japan, including the konbini food. (However, being from Chicago, I wasn't crazy about Japanese pizza). Looking forward to your next food adventure.

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you so much for subbing! We will take you on even more amazing adventures!

[@Toogoodxoxo]

Can't believe I didn't go to the Michinakimichi place when I was there last August, I'll be sure to go there when I land this year in September! I did go to igu&peace and loved their vibe and especially the food! They have an extensive menu! I didn't have time to go to MOSS last time but 200 yen happy hour is insane - I will definitely go there too.

Can you show some of the places that are more handy capable accessible.

7:34 So Dominican Rum is also popular in Japan! 🔥

[@yername31]

Oh My I love Japan And need to go back !! also that is a seedless jalapeño at that second place

Come! Come!

04:58 - Is that Wakanohana?

[@keithpalmer1843]

Secrete unique hidden bars, nice! 🍜🥂

[@JapanbyFood]

Super fun!

[@justinclancy9125]

I like the one with the vending machine. There’s literally a window that’s open that you can see into the restaurant.

[@sakuratelevision]

We love "Backstreet Culture" in big cities of Japan. We always advise travellers from Australia and New Zealand to make sure to walk on backstreet. Unlike some tourist destinations in other countries, backstreet is "off the beaten path". . Thank you Shizuka for highlighting this!

[@JapanbyFood]

There is a whole new world hiding there!

[@Flaschenteufel]

second bar & food looked awesome btw i heard of a tiny restaurant in Tokyo in just basically a living room. Mum makes food and i guess son is serving it entertaining with hand puppets. Sounded quite interesting. Maybe you guys can somehow find them.

[@JapanbyFood]

:O Wow gotta check that out!

[@mendo35]

All three bars looked cool.😄

[@JapanbyFood]

Absolutely!

[@nathanphea6388]

I wonder if there are a lot more speakeasy bars all around Tokyo and the big cities. Love their ideas and concepts. Always interesting to see a Japanese take on these speakeasy bars.

[@JapanbyFood]

They are a lot of fun!

[@stevegonzales527]

"is that a giant iguana?" 15:13 bro thats a T.rex lmao

Do they have english menus too?

Love that little roof top. You need your own Netflix show. Yea, Japan has those little hidden spots. Totally. lol

Hehe, love it too!

[@shresthaabhash]

Big fan. Would love to meet you in person. Love from Nepal.

[@JapanbyFood]

[@MASnycli]

They all look like a lot of fun, but Igu&Peace was definitely the most out-of-the-ordinary looking. Wonder what Shizuka;s favorite was.

[@JapanbyFood]

All of them were so unique!

[@IkePaz]

If you like these type of bars then you need to visit the Amazon Club in Yokohama

[@christopherpaul7588]

I'm a Scorpio too! November 10th. I need to try the Scorpio drink. It looks delicious!

[@joshschneider9766]

whoa that vending machine at the second one even had american spirit brand cigarettes which is a niche brand to the pacific northwest. thats incredibly esoteric levels of dedication to authenticity for a door LOL. massive respect to that for sure,.

[@yo2trader539]

American Spirit cigarettes are still sold in Japan. There are usually called "AME-SUPI (アメスピ)."

[@robineastman2391]

For the life of me I can’t locate any info regarding Michinakimichi anywhere on the web, You Tube, etc. is the place still around? Hate to go over there and find it’s gone under. Thx

The location is in the description:)

[@JapanbyFood]

Go for it!

[@Nebuhalanezar]

Would love to visit these places but I‘m not speaking Japanese (not to mention reading…) I wouldn’t know what and how to order 😅

Just ask for "OSUSUME" ( recommended) and go with the flow:D

[@Heyitdave]

Lmao painfully noticeable that she knows where these are…

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Haha I actually did not know in advance at all! Our producer took me to the general area where each bar would be and had me try to figure out where it was. That said, once you get close enough it gets a lot easier to guess which one is likely to be the special door to the bar. 😆

[@kurofune.uragabay]

Shizuka, I hope that when you have an assignment like this you organize a meet up with friends at the end (or from the start), otherwise it feels like a bit of a waste somehow... (archetypical arts college student hang-out vibes all around, btw)

[@JapanbyFood]

There is a team of people working on these shoots, so we usually chill at the end of the shoot while finishing all the food. No waste on byFood:)

[@pihermoso11]

[@vitovitale169]

Shizuka's horoscope should have read " you will end this night in a tub with a creature called Robbie while holding an iguana-inspired radioactive drink from Fukushima and with iguana egg all over your stricken face" warning this is a LLC.
