Diving into Flavor of Hokkaido Scallops & 3 Places Where to Eat them in Tokyo!

Thank you to Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries for the support!
Join Shizuka for a journey into the world of Hokkaido Hotate (Scallops) in Tokyo!
biz.jibtv.com/programs/journe...
Hokkaido Hotate (Scallops) are a culinary delight celebrated for their exceptional quality and rich flavor. Harvested from the pristine waters surrounding Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, these plump and succulent mollusks are highly sought after in the world of seafood. Hokkaido's cold and nutrient-rich environment contributes to the scallops' remarkable sweetness and tender texture, making them a delicacy in Japanese and international cuisine.
First stop, Noan in Shibuya! This barbecue joint is known (and loved) for its generously sized platters, outdoor seating, and ‘tebura’ dining sets. Shizuka cools down with a refreshing lemonade before hitting the grill and tucking into a feast. On the menu? Hokkaido Hotate grilled in butter and soy sauce, grilled vegetables, and pulled pork tortillas.
Next stop, Two Rooms Grill Bar in Aoyama. Located on the 5th floor of the AO Building, this restaurant prides itself on high-end dining, premium ingredients, and quality service. Shizuka takes a seat and picks her poison (Chardonnay), then decides on the Teppan Grilled Hokkaido Scallops for lunch. As the dish is being prepared, we’re introduced to Matthew Crabbe, chef extraordinaire and founder of Two Rooms Grill Bar. Before she knows it, the dish is served, and Shizuka finds herself marveling at the beautiful presentation before tucking in.
Final stop, Sake Bar Le Pere in Nakameguro. This cool and cozy spot has a lengthy menu, but what will Shizuka choose? Hokkaido Scallops, deep fried and sashimi (raw), please!
Whether served raw as sashimi, lightly seared, or prepared in various other gourmet dishes, Hokkaido Hotate embodies the essence of the sea, delighting taste buds with its briny, buttery notes and earning its place as a true treasure of the ocean.

My Sunday is not complete without an episode of Japan by Food with Shizuka Anderson.

[@victorlui5955]

Shizuka Anderson is the host, she says that in the begining of the video. 😊

[@h.o.j2375]

You can really tell the Australian chef does not understand where his scallops come from and why they come from there, he only knows the region’s name, basically he’s saying cause it’s famous/ well known that why I chose Hokkaido. Where as the Japanese chef really understands his ingredient, he gave thorough explanation.

[@joereyna614]

Me eating spaghetti O's while watching this pretending I'm eating scallops lol... I do have a roll. Great vid!

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Love scallops especially in seafood pasta with white wine sauce...carries the scallop flavours well

[@LewisLeePhotography]

Hokkaido scallops are the best! I just got back from Japan, from my honeymoon. Hokkaido was our journey and Otaru was our first stop. I tried a grilled soy sauce and butter scallop for dinner, then another for breakfast; both were exactly as described in this video! Their scallops are large, springy, meaty and sweet. Definitely try it out! 🤤👍

[@crystalcai6314]

Where? Name of restaurant pls

[@KeithTKO]

I’ve said it before but I envy you so much Shizuka. You have the best job in the world.

[@calnative4904]

Shizuka I wanted to make sure I watched the NHK video also. You are a perfect host for Japanese food and culture. Thanks again for another video. Yes I do love scallops 😊

[@jiggy1992]

Japanese ingredients are delicious because they are excellent at maintaining freshness, quality control, and food preparation.

[@JapanbyFood]

Yes, you are right!

[@nao0624y]

今日本の飲食業は外国人にも人気ですね 日本の食材に惚れる外国人も多いけどいろんなスタイルのミシュランの店が多い事も外国人にも人気なんでしょう 日本は面白い国でいろんなスタイルの飲食店で働いたり独立して自分の店出したりできるのも魅力なんでしょう でも美味しくない店やおもてなしがない店にはやはり客が寄り付かなくなるのでかなり厳しいところもあります そんな日本の飲食店文化はまだまだ楽しいところがたくさんありますよ もっともっと楽しんでくださいね❤

[@shorty61978]

[@JapanbyFood]

Thanks for watching

[@typerightseesight]

So jealous of the episode. The Zealandians would be proud of that teppan grilled hokkaido hotate.

[@SOAR-OF-AVEM]

Nice grilling, nice tacos, excellent drinks & nice scallops! Noan in Shibuya seems like a must-eat place in the night lights. Thank you, Shizuka and the production team; you are the best!

[@Celeste77789]

Today's video was wonderful! Thank you so much for today's video 😊 Such spectacular sceneries and love it ❤ Shizuka-san is amazing as always 🥰 God bless 🙏🏻

[@panathenaea]

So much variety! I love scallops!

[@Julie701000]

Another great video, they all look so delicious! I'd be very interested to have a deep fried scallop. That would be something new for me, and they looked so crispy and good!

[@zakkwylde72]

Great video! amazing and oishii scallops!

[@darrenchan4594]

i love scallops. yummy.

[@picknick21]

I miss it a little bit when you say: "I'm your host, Shizuka Andersoooon!"

[@moonray14]

I’m going to Hokkaido next time I’m in Japan and I’m so excited to try everything! Also Shizuka, I always love your reactions to food cause that would totally be me too ☺️😂

[@Righteous1ist]

Love scallops. They're very tasty.😋

[@yoshinot6131]

The scallops in Hokkaido are the most delicious, aren't they? They were often sent from their parents' house in Aomori across the sea a long time ago. They're really delicious, aren't they 🎉

[@jtuck682]

Shizuka, it's funny, I recently finished another video you had hosted on the same topic,but I don't mind watching this one also. Your bright cheerful disposition makes you a excellent spokesperson for Japanese travel and culture 😊😊

[@KhoiBoa]

That wine glass. Very nice. 👍🏻

[@JapanbyFood]

The best!

[@roarntito]

Talk about some delicate and tasty foods! I love the way you explain the tastes and the memories they invoke. Shizuka you’re the best….!!🌹

Thank you so much!

Awesome! Can't wait to try Hokkaido hotate next time I am in Tokyo!!!

[@JapanbyFood]

Please do!

[@nathanielmills4678]

The barbecue looked amazing. As a purist charcoal is the way to go. However as it's a self cook restaurant it's definitely impressive.

[@shuermarvin577]

Yum yum

[@ronron1388]

Amazing

[@JapanbyFood]

You are!

[@drewcorry5056]

I absolutely love love scallops and so yummy / delicious. 1 Word Outstanding

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you so much!!

[@BortonMaverickNYC]

scallops.. underrated of all the seafood dishes.... wish it was bigger and more affordable...

[@TheBradylands]

I love scallops in the new England ( USA) we have two different scallops one is bay scallops and the other is sea I enjoy bay smaller but very tender.

[@rocketreindeer]

If it's something they like to share, I would love to see a show about Ainu chefs and their foods.

[@user-mv7yw5go2y]

Hokkaido Hotate (Scallops) taste very good and nutritious. I want people all over the world to eat as much as they can and also, of course, I'd like to have as much hotate as possible to prove its safety.

[@drewdizm523]

It's SHiiiiiiizukaa Anderseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnn

[@infamous3]

would be great and educational if you could elaborate on the advanced freezing process, or any explanations that require technical knowledge in your videos.

[@billshepherd4331]

Lucky Lady! I'll do a good scallop any day! 😋

[@tonoinam7344]

Love you 😘

[@Zojirushi.2.16]

Seafood needs to be frozen at -35c for 24 hours, or -20c for 7 days to make it safe to eat raw. Whether it’s ceviche or tuna tataki you should always use sashimi grade seafood to make any raw preparation. Anthony Bourdain’s favourite sushi restaurant Yasuda used a medical grade blast freezer to prepare his fish.

[@buddkhang2183]

She's so polite she doesn't even swallow her food on camera

[@j.r.s8737]

It's my dream to eat Hokkaido Scallops! Hotate, hotate!

[@cosmonott1]

Hi Shizuka, excellent series! Just wondering, is "actually" your favourite word coz starting from 0:10 , you used it very often within seconds of each other. Keep the videos coming!

[@thejessta]

Shizukaaaaaaa

[@jeromosan]

Thank you for this video ! Love scallops ! A question regarding bbq courses in Japanese restaurants : they often offer courses from around 5 or 6,000 yens and specify it is "from 4 persons". Is it the price PER person or for a group of 4 ? Thank you !

[@WalkingMoments]

oishii

[@lutherpippen]

Does John Daub own this channel or just a coincidence that you put out a Hokkaido scallops video right after him?

[@brianjonas4654]

👍😊❤

[@InnovativeVideos956]

i wonder if they charged for the extras. its one of those places?

[@seanmueller4960]

I love your shoes. It almost makes me think you have a bit of goth in you. Is that a thing in JP??

[@prn_Melatonin]

HO TA TE TE TA HO

[@jonsf]

should have grilled the tortillas

[@wiwingmargahayu6831]

Chicken lamb cow lungs liver tripe intestines feet tasty for me

[@acatinny]

I wonder if this video was produced as China stopped importing Japanese sea food because of the release of Fukushima "Water" to the ocean. This channel liked to support or they were requested to support the scallops industry which was especially hit hard by that sanction. This is nothing but my pure assumption, but it seems to be so timely. I am not saying that this is wrong.

[@Heartsanime]

That second scallop dish was a full scam.. basically 20 AUD for 2 scallops with a bit of avocado puree and bacon "dust"... That first set was 50 and came with bulk scallops and other meats and veg plus the taco stuff... That third place was like $7 per 4 whole scallops TF? That being said the beer was 680 yen so they make their money back in other ways. Where beer is like $2 per at a bottle shop.

[@schlukenrazak3790]

You are so beautiful

[@vincentallen4563]

Like videos. Please do not say the word "actually" so many times.

[@user-pn5xu6ke7r]

wow you did the right thing promoting radioactive contaminated seafood to the western people

[@lohcheeseng3236]

WOW.....radioactive waste dumped by Japan so fast forgotten???
