I agree! Japanese food is always so thoughtfully put together

[@hinapuhaalele528]

#5 is Isomaru Suisan. Kanimiso is awesome. Go to place anywhere in Japan, they are open 24 hours a day.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Nice! Thank you for the name! Good to know that it's open 24 hours!

[@itsadanetpitip2887]

[@alicesplayground_]

[@HiMikeAndJules]

[@abc90031]

Great time to go!

[@nancylu387]

[@ciwanechris1428]

Good video and good food 😁👍

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thank you for watching! What is your favorite japanese dish?

[@kylybeach6298]

The fact that Japan can add butter to traditional Italian food with their own Japanese noodles 🍜 makes me so happy.

[@gin.and.j]

butter is the secret to life !

[@casquette1450]

The seafood izakaya is called Isomaru suisan. (磯丸水産). It's a big chain they have restaurant all across Japan. It's a fun place though.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thanks for letting us know! It was a fun place !

[@user-ms7zw4xv6w]

I Love Food 🙏

[@HiMikeAndJules]

We love food too!

[@CNEpornstar]

Thanks for the list, I will try to goto all of these when I am there next week. The only thing is Ichiran which I would suggest people avoid as locals avoid it too as the ramen is not bad but not great either. I have been to one in Taiwan and was not impressed, but the experience was nice.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thanks for watching Stephen! Yes Ichiran can seem overatted. I would recommend going to a local ramen place before Ichiran but It is still worth a try you have never been for the the experience.

[@alicesplayground_]

Yummmmmmmmmm

[@gin.and.j]

you're yummy 😋

[@drewcorry5056]

There’s always flashing lights in Tokyo [ you los t me there ] #1 wins for me. Very yummy all of them. Excellent from start to finish. PS if I could not get anything to drink, I would never go.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thank you so much. We miss it. we are going back next week. So we will update you with more food!

[@tacchanoshima4569]

Thank you for coming to Japan!! How is Japan and Japanese food? I did comment on USA youtuber a few! ;) Yen is super cheap now. USA guys coming to Japan now! I have been to LA in 5 times. I have great friends in there. I love USA and LA too. Let’s enjoy in Japan! Shopping too! ;)

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Japan is one of our favorite places to visit. The food is always amazing! It is much better than the Japanese food in LA. We are going back next month to shop and eat!. The exchange rate is great!

[@Dakshmarwah]

Enjoying your videos. I wanted your advice regarding the number of days you suggest for Tokyo and Kyoto for a first time visitor who is a foodie.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Depends on how many days you can go. You can do Tokyo in 3 days but it will be a super packed schedule. I would recommend 5 days. Kyoto you can do in 3 days pretty easily. Make sure you make reservations for restaurants a week before you arrive. You don't have to with ramen joints but for good sushi, shabu and yakiniku. Tablelog is a good place to start. When are you planning on going?

[@Dakshmarwah]

@@HiMikeAndJules Planning a week in Tokyo, 5 days in kyoto and 3 in Osaka . Going for the cherry blossom (end of March) would you suggest reducing the days in kyoto and adding them to Tokyo?

[@Akanishisan]

Omg ❤

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Hehehe never ending places to eat and things to do! Lmk if you have any suggestions bc we're going back again in November!

[@davemei83]

The no name izakaya looks like Isomaru Suisan! They have all-you-drink options as well.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

That's awesome. We have to check out that option next time!

[@alittlebelowaverage]

that izakaya omg

[@HiMikeAndJules]

The crab roe

[@judytran7368]

I miss Japan!!!! :(

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Hi Judy! Have you been to Hokkaido?! We really want to go there next!

[@kristyles]

iv eaten like 6 egg salad sandwiches in 4 days lol

[@HiMikeAndJules]

LOL they are so good. We were doing the same.

[@nancylu387]

Can't believe you waited 1.5 hours for gyu tho! That's crazy!!

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Yeah, it was worth!

[@victoriadavenport7332]

Hello. Going to Japan in two years and love the food places you went to. What did you do while waiting 1.5hours??

[@HiMikeAndJules]

@@victoriadavenport7332 talking and using our phones. You should get a pocket wifi so that you can share wifi as you walk around Tokyo.

[@bruceyung70]

It’s all worth it.

[@magnuslilja2906]

Great video but the video clips are not from Nonbei alley (Drunkards alley) in Shibuya, they are instead from Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thanks for letting us. We get confused sometimes.

[@victoriadavenport7332]

Hello. For us non Japanese speaking ppl. Is it easy or difficult to order food at restaurants???

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Many of the restaurants have English menus or an electronic tablet or even a vending machine that all have pictures of most of the food that you can order from. If there is only a Japanese menu, you can use Google Translate app to take a picture. The translate app can transcribe the menu. Then you can just point and choose!

[@benhuerta7536]

if i ever go to japan i am going to have to check some of these places Japan is one of the places i would love to visit

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Japan is one of our favorites too! You should go soon. The exchange rate is awesome. Everything is on discount.

[@ymiya2]

#5 The name of this Izakaya is ISOMARU Suisan (ISOMARU Seafood products manufactures). My favorite chain Izakaya restaurant. pronunciation: [jisomaru], not [aisomaru]

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Omg thanks I was looking everywhere.

[@gin.and.j]

Thank you for providing the name of the restaurant!

[@jackychan4216]

Yokocho is not near Shibuya Station. It's at Shinjuku Station.....

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thanks for the correction. When is Rush hour 3 coming out?

[@TooHotGaming]

Awesome video, music a bit loud

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thank you for watching! Yeah we noticed afterward that the music might have been a bit loud

[@user-xb7gh3zz9u]

The restaurant you mentioned 3rd as Ootoya is actually called Torikizoku. Ootoya is not yakitori place. They are totally different.😂

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thanks for letting us know! We get confused some times lol.

[@michaelono7335]

What’s your favorite restaurants in tokyo that’s not Japanese?

[@HiMikeAndJules]

McDonald's and KFC for their location specific menu items lol. We mostly went to Japanese restaurants, but we've actually heard that Chinese food is on another level in Japan!

[@robinanavallo1200]

beautiful videos uve got 🥰 ive just subscribed myself. we do have the same niche ☺

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thank you so much!

[@AnasAnas-bz2cy]

Beautiful voice, you're doing asmr you know that?😅

[@gin.and.j]

no I didn't know! but I'm so happy that you think so! thank you. I appreciate your comment 😊

[@mclovin2217]

Foreigners should Don Accino Shibuya restaurant. Bad service, rude, and they made us pay extra because we were foreigners. I asked my Japanese friend who was the only local with us, and she said that's what the manager told her why we paid extra just to be there. All the staff were very rude when we complained. Food was ok, though

[@HiMikeAndJules]

It happens sometimes :( We felt the same treatment, but we try not to take it personally

[@bazedwards6729]

I never see and children at these places to eat in the evening?

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Children are welcomed at all these restaurants. There is not any age restrictions. You should bring them so they can enjoy too!

[@skydweller7815]

sorry, it's probably Torikizoku, not Otoya.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Opps, thanks for the correction! We are new to this. Any feedback helps!

[@breadcrumbs2598]

4:42 beautiful

[@gin.and.j]

hahaha that mochi cheese pull 🧀

[@xavierduclos2417]

Slow down or leave names up longer tks

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Noted! We were wondering if it was too short. Thanks for confirmation.

[@user-ms7zw4xv6w]

How about all you can eat

[@HiMikeAndJules]

We have a video on an AYCE shabu shabu in Shinjuku! Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/op-Tm3SwYtuohdU

[@Alex-mh4pg]

Treestump!

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Lofugee!! lol

[@TheMultisportGeek]

Egg sandwich… Isn’t it bad to eat your food outside on the sidewalk?

[@HiMikeAndJules]

People usually eat outside the convenience stores but frowned upon If you walk around while eating.

[@towada1066]

I wonder,... it seems not even most Japanese can eat 100% authentic Japanese food,... shiokara, dojou-nabe ... ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ ... @11:28 ... the sign says Isomaru Suisan,... it's a chain restaurant ,... I haven't been here.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Shiokara and dojou-nabe looks so interesting! Must try next time we're in Japan!

[@towada1066]

@@HiMikeAndJules I would go all the way then and try kusaya ...

[@deliciousvegans4505]

Ichiran noodles? That's a chain. How about you make a video titled "7 must try foods in NYC" and list Denny's as number 3??? YOUR VIDEO GETS TWO THUMBS DOWN.

[@HiMikeAndJules]

Thanks for the feedback! They actually have Denny's in Tokyo. Theyre menu is pretty different. They serve japanese western food. I would probably rank it 4 out of 7.

[@deliciousvegans4505]

@@HiMikeAndJules No need to get all butt hurt about my comment. I'm just saying that your video feels RATHER PEDESTRIAN. You're literally able to access Michelin star ramen for $14 in Tokyo, not saying the Michelin rating is the end all be all, but at least try and do some research before you barf out another USELESS video.

[@benhuerta7536]

what was your guys favorite place you visited

Team lab was one of the coolest things!
