Experts Guide to Drinking in Japan / Drink like a Local feat. NATSUKI from

[@eric1800es]

You guys are single handedly going to make Sendai have a massive tourist boom. And from the look of it, it deserves it.

[@Domspun]

For real, I wasn't even thinking going to Sendai on my next trip, but now I'm thinking about it.

[@JunkFoodJapan]

That Lillie Yokocho is worth going to for sure. Don’t forget to bring a rice cake guide

[@JunkFoodJapan]

If you get a chance to go do it. It’s fun little city

because he is so confident, and i love it

[@FullyCharged22]

Natsuki needs his own channel. He's an absolute treasure of a human being.

[@JunkFoodJapan]

Marcus ?

[@BansaiiBerserker]

Natsuki had a good point there, bringing shy people together to have them eat and drink together within a friendly little establishment, does seem like a great idea to bring them out of their shell, and like you said it seems like a great place to meet new people, and if you don't hit it off with anyone, you can just move on to the next little place. I wish more guides were as friendly and likeable as "Ricecake" he has definitely picked the right line of work. Thanks for the video! It was interesting to see that side of Japan, and the amount of work and care this channel puts into each video is amazing.

Rice cake is a real cool dude ! If you are in Japan hit him up for a guided beer tour

[@scoutwilliams5875]

@@JunkFoodJapan that dude is a fraud! he stole my mothers bicycle and is now on my list... if i see rice cake im gonna tell him a thing or 2 its over for that guy and his career in bike theft! my lawyer tried to come to his house but he got punched by rice cake in his face so now he cant work as a stripper anymore cause he had to have ass to face surgery. hes in deep water and i wont throw him a life jacket!

The iconic Natsuki! A perfect fit for Junk Food Japan. Please have him as a guest again, one can never have enough Natsuki. Ngl, you cracked me up when you thought you were eating beef; I was wondering why it looked so pale. Are your taste buds on a vacation? 😂 Thanks for showing us these wonderful spots. Hopefully I can visit next year. 🤞

Natsuki from "Aboard in Japan"! He's the absolute best guide.

[@thevectorchef]

This is awesome ! Yellow Ricecake should get to know Chris, Ryotaro, Natsuki, and the others as well. Natsuki has a really great vibe and would be awesome to hang out with. I felt sorry for Chris arriving late. Hopefully, you guys got to hang out for a bit.

How Natsuki doesn't have his own channel yet, still blows my mind. He has millions of fans and would coin it in. I know he appears on so many other channels, but Chris and others should have helped set his own channel up years ago

[@overthewebb]

Oh and I realise he will get appearance fees, but that won't cover the amount of money he has brought in for Chris or Tokyo Creative. Channels get constant income from videos. Appearance fees are one off. Just think the guy is getting robbed a bit

[@davenann]

How to choose a good izakaya? A foodie in Japan over 25 years, living in Fukuoka. I’d avoid chain izakaya, try and head to a small one owner place, the owner prepares and cooks everything. Almost like home cooking. Chain places, serve a lot of frozen, made in a factory, delivered to the place foods. Small places, made fresh, usually local style. Enjoy!!

[@rowbearly6128]

Anyone here remember SALA or "the Tent", in Tsudanuma .Chiba ? What a bar!!! Illegal, in an old circus tent, portable pump toilets, full of Japanese nutcases and the few foreigners around in the 1990s and 2000s. I lived in that bar for about 10 years, what I remember of it is gold.
