Cute Deer and Top Speed Mochi in Nara!

Subscribe to our channel: kzbin.info...
This week, Shizuka visits the beautiful city of Nara, famous for the deer that roam freely around the city and live in harmony with the human inhabitants. But Nara isn’t just a city full of these cute deer; it also boasts a long history, impressive temples and shrines, and a wonderful collection of delicious food- including the fastest mochi in the world!
While exploring the city, Shizuka enjoys a variety of sweet and savory treats. From local fruits and vegetables to the traditional pickled sushi wrapped in persimmon leaves, tasty bites can be found around every corner. And as a special bonus, she gets a chance to talk with Nakatani Mitsuo, the fastest mochi maker in the world!

What do you think is the best Japanese type of dessert?

[@emersonviana6539]

imo japanese cheesecake ❤

[@calnative4904]

They all looked great, I’ve only had mochi and I liked it.

[@lamourdujourr]

YUKI ICHIGO MUSUME

[@chrissonnenschein6634]

Hard to say, so many unique Wagashi with tea (mainly the yokan with nuts) . However, so far my overall fave are the Yukimi Daifuku 『雪見だいふく』- especially with friends, and try making from scratch with nuts, fruit, etc. to the ice cream..

[@prkchoptv8663]

Okinawas Beniimo tart, chilli ice cream and the pineapple farm candy 😍

[@JohnHausser]

Most underrated 🇯🇵 tourism channel 😊 Cheers from San Diego California 🇺🇸

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for your support! We appreciate it!

[@MSGOOI1]

[@masa-fu4pk]

I wanted to see more Shizuka interacting with deer 😁

[@gundamboy1138]

Those deer really want those crackers. I was nipped like crazy after a bought a pack when I visited in 2019. Cute little guys tho!

[@JapanbyFood]

They were intense!!! Cute...but intense :D

[@bengtal]

Shizuka is like a forest spirit pricess anyway so of course she speaks to deer 👺🦌

[@JapanbyFood]

She is a deer whisperer! :P

[@ginnpenn]

I visited Nara more than twenty years ago. One of the happiest times of my life. I highly recommend it for tourists who are looking for a peaceful trip. The mochi is the best too!

[@JapanbyFood]

Yay! So happy to hear you had fun!

[@calnative4904]

This was a very fun video Shizuka! All the places you visited looked fantastic and the deer 🦌 were so neat to see.

[@JapanbyFood]

Oh yaaay! We are glad to hear you got to see the mochi pounding!

[@raghavi203]

[@rachelb7387]

[@JapanbyFood]

We were obsessed with the deer! Thank you for watching!

[@vanderley3]

I think it's so endearing to see you appear still enjoying yourself even in the rain :)

[@alexandercmann]

My favorite food vlogger

[@bearcat5038]

The Kotoka strawberry parfait looks incredible ❤😋🤤👍

[@JapanbyFood]

It was amazing! Kotoka strawberry was so juicy and refreshing!

[@paulryanmiranda1029]

[@JessicaIcyTang]

The Mochi looks so good. Can't wait to try it out the next time I get a chance to go to Nara.

[@JapanbyFood]

Oh we loved it! It is a must try!

[@asunachan9999]

Shizuka + Deer = Cozy ❤️🇵🇭😊

[@JapanbyFood]

Yesss!

[@gilghost]

such a magical place.... wish to go there before time runs out....

[@JapanbyFood]

There is still time! We are waiting for you!

[@drewcorry5056]

Absolutely would love to feed the deers. Absolutely love strawberries. Yummy sweet potatoes. WOW super fast making Mochi. Outstanding from start to finish.

[@JapanbyFood]

So nice of you! So happy that you liked the vid!

[@kimberlydeverell2863]

LOVE Nara. It was one of my favorite cities I visited in 2015 while studying abroad in Kyoto. The deer are literally everywhere, and they're so cute, though overly friendly and demanding of treats. One ate the map my group had... Nara has a lot of neat shops and food to explore, and is definitely a must visit place.

[@JapanbyFood]

They really were demanding! Glad you enjoyed your time in Nara!

[@benjmin1542]

Splendid 🤗

[@charlie5tanley]

i miss out this great mochi when i visited nara. hope i can travel to japan soon!

[@JapanbyFood]

We hope you can! This mochi is life-changing!

[@xxCablexx]

looks like a lot of fun and wow, Japan has such an abundance of sweets, I know I will have a food coma after indulging in all those wonderful desserts

[@JapanbyFood]

Gotta try them all!

[@Black_Sun_Dark_Star]

best mochi I've ever had

[@JapanbyFood]

We feel the same!

[@dahamisilva]

We can learn a lot about Japan through this channel. You are running this channel very well. Your speaking style is very attractive. I wish you all the best to continue running this channel.💗

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for your support!

[@jomangeee9180]

wow that was amazing thank you guys

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching!

[@boba9253]

Great video, the mochi looked so good, and the creme brule sweet potato - wow!

[@JapanbyFood]

Sweet potato really surprised us!

[@kuroneko23hikari81]

Awww, I miss the mochi there at Yomogi mochi! Definitely the softest, squishiest mochi I've ever had 🥰Went there a few years back, and the queue up to buy it was looooong, watching the mochi pounding in person was amazing too, I'd love to go back there again ❤

[@JapanbyFood]

We were lucky because there was almost no line when we got there, probably due to the rain!

[@DLIX2DCLI]

I love mochi.

[@astroboy3507]

That’s good no more competitions less flooded in the comments!!!!😬 Yes them guys are mochi KINGS!!! There so amazing!!! 💚👍🏻 Yummy foods guys!!!!👅

[@JapanbyFood]

:D We enjoyed trying all the yummy stuff in Nara!

[@b9brutality]

Best part of this as always, was Shizuka-sama! Want in on the mochi and sweet potato places so bad. Sugoi! Oiishiso!

[@JapanbyFood]

Oishiiyooo!

[@lifespursuithawaii8619]

I will have to try that Yomogi Mochi at Nakatanidou! Totally enjoyed this episode! Aloha!

[@JapanbyFood]

You will love it!

[@SOAR-OF-AVEM]

Each place is more important because of the variety of places to eat that you offer. In fact, I wouldn't have considered visiting a Japanese city before because of what special eating places there are. Now I am more interested as I know!

[@JapanbyFood]

Please visit, we are sure you will love it!

[@ieatbum7770]

I don’t care about the food you eat I only watch it to see you shaaaaaazzzzuuuuuukkkkaaaaaa lol

[@ancientk100]

Most amazing food channel.

[@JapanbyFood]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@ShaneNixonFamily]

We went to Nara about a dozen year ago and saw the deer and the temples but after this we have to go back for the sweet potato, the sushi and the mochi. Oh my goodness they looked sensational.

[@JapanbyFood]

You gotta! Sweet potato was too so nice!

[@nathanielmills4678]

Amazing his hands don't get wacked! That speed was insane.

[@JapanbyFood]

We could not believe!

[@chanzo7950]

That so over the top cool and the food makes me wanna have what you are having!😛

[@JapanbyFood]

You should tryyy!

[@michaelsasano8622]

Aloha Shizuka! I visited Nara in 2019 and also got to see and experience the taste of the best mochi I've ever had in my life. The mochi master was fun to watch but most of all that mochi.... to die for! I ate two right at his shop! Lol. Thank you for sharing this adventure! 🥰

[@JapanbyFood]

We bought an extra box right after!

[@michaelsasano8622]

@@JapanbyFood I would've done the same thing too. :)

[@Guderian2]

The sweet potato strings on ice cream looked weird to me, doesn't really help that the one time i had sweet potatoes i didn't like them at all. But the rest looked really good. And the deer were way to adorable, is that much adorableness actually legal?

[@JapanbyFood]

The sweet potato was actually super super good, but yeah, if it is not your thing then you probably should avoid it :D

[@victorlui5955]

Hi Shizzy. Hi Japan by food!!!

[@JapanbyFood]

Hello Victor!

[@thejessta]

Shizukaaaaaaa

[@mikesaysoh6593]

❤️

[@JapanbyFood]

😍😍😍

[@paulocoelho558]

The deers there are very educated but they aren't like Bambi they are being themselves and I bet they don't smell like perfume too. We have the tendency to anthropomorphize everything and that wasn't aggression at all that deer just wanted to have a snack... 🦌🦌🤣😂😁

[@jameslund2658]

Good evening ma lady. I bid you Farwell and good night.

[@wagnerwei]

👍🍻

[@toualee1430]

Oh deer

[@kiramutoujaeger]

Oh deer hahahaha

[@roynobody]

i wish someone would do this to my lower back 7:14 lol

[@JapanbyFood]

:DDD

[@ricolongoria1304]

New channel suggestion , Japan by Animal

[@youtuberannie115]

ショーだよ😂餅つき機で作って臼に入れ替えただけ😂

[@panathenaea]

Nara Park is beautiful but it's also Deer Poop Park... don't wear your best shoes. I've always wanted to find good place to eat in Nara

[@JapanbyFood]

:D good tip!

[@jiggy1992]

The act of a deer bowing over and over again is an act of intimidation, so please be careful.

[@JapanbyFood]

Really? Good to know.

[@cgigammez5749]

All of the deer seem kinda mean

[@JapanbyFood]

They could be a bit intense!:D

[@jadeitewu]

Had the mochi - unfortunately it's all theatrics - the taste isn't anything significantly different from freshly made mochi.

[@Mnguyen92]

Those deers are spoiled as fuck..

[@jasonreviews]

I would get so bored eating japanese food all the time. You should try thai, chinese, korean, or vietnamnese. Then again nobody knows what real chinese food is. haha! they think it's panda express. HAHA.

[@JapanbyFood]

There are many options of foreign cuisines in Japan. We get quite a variety in our daily lives but on this channel we want to concentrate on Japanese cuisine :)

[@ngesubyutub4326]

What's up with the color grading🤮🤮 completely does not represent Japan
