The oldest of 8? Wow! I’ve never heard of families with so many children in Asia. That’s great! 😊 I love hearing Hatsue talk. She is very humble and gentle and it’s really nice to see ❤

[@JapanbyFood]

She was so amazing and such a professional!!!

What a wholesome video.

[@JapanbyFood]

Glad you liked it!

[@carloenix]

I’d love to visit this shop! The Google Maps link in the description doesn’t seem to be working, though?

[@JapanbyFood]

It should work now! Please check it out! If the link does not work, try pasting the address into google maps.

[@leslier302]

Although as many Japanese, she is good at what she does, I can't help but think maybe she dreams somedays of doing something else.

[@JapanbyFood]

Don't we all? O:)

[@HallOfFantasy]

Not really a fan of dango but I do remember when that song "Dango San-kyo-dai" was popular.

[@M_a_k_u_14]

Really nice video 🫡

[@animaniax2479]

Does anyone know where exactly is this place? We're visiting tokyo and would love to visit this store

[@otogigamer]

She needs a cat making the dango like monster hunter rise

[@hourbee5535]

Where is shizuka and is she okay?

[@Ehawkjj2]

Shizuka isn’t in every video lol as much as we want her to be

[@astroboy3507]

She would be definitely on a break over the holiday season that’s all ✌🏻

[@Fleshlight_Reviewer]

She's pregnant

[@ShizukaAnderson]

@@Fleshlight_Reviewerlol what 🤣

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Thank you for the concern!! We are just trying out an additional documentary-style series on the channel that focuses on the Japanese business-owners/craftspeople, especially the obaachans! (Grandmas!) ❤️

[@grey5626]

美味しいそうですよ。

[@littlsuprstr]

She talks about her childhood hardships with a smile and a laugh, but I wish it was different for her.

[@JapanbyFood]

Bittersweet

[@alvinkoeswanto8622]

Watching this makes me craving for mitarashi dango. But there's no one that sells these in my city 😢

[@JapanbyFood]

Oh what a shame! You can however easily make them at home!!!

[@ismaelhall3990]

How does it taste like?

[@JapanbyFood]

Unlike other Mitarashi dango that have a sweet, almost honey like taste, this traditional soy sauce dango is savory! Very nostalgic!

[@nathanielmills4678]

​@@JapanbyFoodIs it like chewy rice cakes with a smokey soy sauce flavour? I'm struggling to imagine but it looks delicious...

[@yeineralarcon2280]

❤

[@ropro9817]

Where is Shizuka? 😢

[@Melodiii10]

I’m curious, does she have somebody to continue making dango after her? Or history can stop at some point…(

[@JapanbyFood]

She does not as of now, let's hope for the best!

[@Macrodee]

I know she can afford it, but I hope someone gives this sweet auntie a smart phone.

[@JapanbyFood]

She deserves one!

[@xLiquidFire]

We want Shizuka!!! Only reason I watch this channel

[@densh1993]

I think she's sick

[@nelsonhu3926]

Or on a Xmas break when this was filmed

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Haha don’t worry, I’m fine! We just started an additional series on the channel that focuses on the craftspeople/business-owners! Like the charming obaachans (grandmas)! ❤️❤️

[@alexanderdavis7749]

Where the hell is the drunk girl?💔

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Is that me? 🤣🤣

[@alexanderdavis7749]

@@ShizukaAnderson yes!😂

[@oesoy]

The narrator sounds like a robot.

[@MrPootzen]

edit: it's NOT actually an AI voice; Shizuka lost her voice in the last episode.

[@ShizukaAnderson]

@@MrPootzenNo, it’s a real narrator lol 😆. My voice is all better! ❤️

[@MrPootzen]

@@ShizukaAnderson My mistake, glad to hear you're doing better!
