🍺 Beer Foam Is A BIG DEAL In Japan | Here's Why!

[@Kojimochi]

Learned so much by being a part of this, thank you Shizuka for having me back! 🍻

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Thanks for drinking with me, Kai!! 😆🙌🏼

[@edwardgonzalez6732]

I’m at Dry Dock because of this video. They mentioned that I’m the first customer that mentioned the video. First beer is absolutely delicious!

[@evenmoreevil]

You know Shizuka is feeling good when she says “It’s so freaking good”. Being able to host and not skip a beat on these drinking episodes is example of a true professional.

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Aww thank you!! It is tough to keep together toward the end of these drinking videos though for sure! 😂🤣

[@antonpuno2605]

LOVE your beer content! The visuals on this were stunning.

[@JapanbyFood]

Much appreciated!

[@adonisssss2197]

The Czech milk pour is actually meant to be drunk bottoms up in one go! Loved watching this video. I wanna see more beer education trips in Japan

[@dirtcreature3d]

Love you guys! Shizuka you’re a master at being a host!! I know it’s not the focus of the channel but man a mini series on things to do in Tokyo would be sooo awesome! Could call it Japan by Foot 😉

[@jordanmarcus]

well shizuka is a bonafide beer connoisseur at this point. I now have FOAMO, time to hit the bar and get faded. You are a bad influence shizzy 😝

[@JapanbyFood]

Please join next time!

[@RickvandeS]

I've added some beer spots to my saved Maps locations, thanks! The last bar definitely has the best and most authentic pour in my opinion. Fast and naturally foamed straight on the beer dripping mat, that's how I like it! Depending on your preference I'd say use thin edged glass for a crisp experience and thicker round edged glass for the smoother entry.

[@steffietee740]

Gosh, I really, really enjoyed this segment of Japan by Food, love to know the unique beer culture in Japan. Gosh, I hope one day soon I get to discover and enjoy the unique beer culture of Japan!! Thank you and great work, Shizuka and Kai.

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching!

[@yongyotangchuan8812]

My bucket list of beer for next trip!, thanks Shizuka....amazing episode......keep doing more about beer in Japan...love it and cheers from Thailand!🍻

[@alexanderdavis7749]

it's funny watching this girl get more and more drunk haha

[@ShizukaAnderson]

These drinking videos are always a struggle by the end 😂😂😂

[@astroboy3507]

Loved seeing the beer going in the ice bucket!!!! That was a FOAM vid guys!!!! 🍺🍻👍🏻

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you! We had a lot of foam!

[@TheBradylands]

I'm learning something new watching this channel, Thank you 😊

[@JapanbyFood]

We are glad to hear that!

[@metavanguard]

Best episode ever! They totally over did it and passed out just after the outro lol.

[@JapanbyFood]

You got us!

[@sonic1957]

They never had a beer before and they downed three sips that day. Subarashi Sukoi!, neh, neh, neh....Barrrrffff!!!!

[@JohnHausser]

🇩🇪 & 🇯🇵: ultimate 🍻 destinations 😊

[@richardcooper]

so much foam ;) always great to see Shizuka enjoy describe her experiences. Good to see a new face in Kai as well.

[@JapanbyFood]

He was in our Anime Your Name Video! Check it out to see more of him:)

[@davidinouye2606]

Wow, this segment about Japanese beer was really cool and interesting Shizuka! I've never ever heard about the bartender dunking the beer glass into a ice cold water. Man, I want to have a Japanese beer now! Kanpai!🍻

[@potatostarch-h3i]

i drink beer out of the bottle, i didn't know there was so much more into the pour. impressive

[@Flaschenteufel]

There isn't it's just made up fancy bs to sell foam instead of actual beer.

[@s1nb4d59]

Shizuka was right in her element at the dry dock 🍻and i noticed she had a great navy themed dress worn as well 👗💝💗🍺 awesome episode japan by food team.

[@JapanbyFood]

On point!

[@jtuck682]

Another example of Japanese excellence! They all looked like great places to eat and have a cold one.😋

[@JapanbyFood]

Please visit!

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

The right glass is their biggest glass

[@JapanbyFood]

True.

[@xxCablexx]

reminds me of one of the first videos I saw of Shizuka at a street food area when they poured her cup to the top and I guess the preferred method was to bend down to sip it, gonna go look for that one, these locations look like so much fun though, I do love smooth beer and cutlets

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for being here since the beginning!

[@danielsalem7624]

Glas full of foam? In germany you will be arrreted by police instant 😂 Great video, thx beerlover ❤❤❤ from Germany ❤❤❤

[@KyleDalia1311]

Awesome video friend!! I alwas love them after a long day at work.

[@Tangerined]

Why did I only discover this channel immediately after I returned from Japan?! I want to try the smooth AF beer too!! 😩

[@1deadhead]

I hope you at least drank a bunch of Saki ? How did you not drink the beer ?

[@Tangerined]

@@1deadhead Oh, believe me, I drank the beer. But now I want to try the specific ones/pour methods featured in this video!

[@1deadhead]

@@Tangerined Good, me to. I’m in the North of Japan now and will be in Tokyo beginning of December. So, you know I’ll be getting some foam 🙃

[@lbabe1996]

Where do you find bars like this?

[@jayroi1814]

"Saki" lmao what the fuck, how American of you@@1deadhead

[@JimmyGunawanX]

Today I learned a lot of foaming techniques! Seriously foams!

[@franciscawrites8972]

This was so interesting to watch (and learn about Japanese Beer Foam?? Who knew?)....also, Girl Friend, at about 21.30 I realized you are properly buzzed! Kanpai!

[@pangkaji]

The "shot" glass you mentioned is a typical beer glass for Kölsch beer. They call it ein Stage (a pole or a rod). All the glasses have a 0.2l mark to make sure the foam does not start below that mark, making sure the customer gets 0.2 liters of beer and not too much foam. You mentioned it looks like a beaker. Other parts of germany deride this type of glass as test tubes. They say Kölners can only drink small amount off beer at a time

[@BoyAditya]

It ain't Monday yet, if I haven't seen shizuka chan smile 😊

[@slugtothechest]

As a beer enjoyer thanks for this episode also 11:14 that has to be the best head I’ve seen on a beer!! And Matsuo’s story was amazing.

[@jayroi1814]

You're not much of a beer enjoyer if you enjoy seeing a glass served 60% full with a bunch of fucking bubbles on top

[@alanbumbai]

I heard a theory once that the fluffy head may be due to the CO2/Nitro mix theyre using and so that's probably why you'll almost never see a head like that in the US where CO2 % used is likely higher. Also the real Matsuo pour looked nothing like that one.

[@jamesbarclay8430]

If I ever make it to Tokyo, I’ll give these bars a try. Looks great.

[@JapanbyFood]

Please do!

[@johnwong9719]

Shizuka got really high and happy from the beer!

[@jiggs8073]

Shizuka's great beauty knowns no bounds

[@robertgulfshores4463]

I loved this! Someday ... I can't wait to be there and to try a few of these.

[@JapanbyFood]

Please do!

[@aRVeesBlog]

wow very interesting experience friend

[@JapanbyFood]

Yes, thank you!

[@MrWordcat]

Great video Shizuka and Kai! Did you know menchi was introduced by the Portuguese many many years ago when Japan first opened its borders? The name just means "mince" haha!

[@JapanbyFood]

We had NO IDEA! Thanks for letting us know!

[@-DirtyShoes]

Great to see Kai again! I'm, unfortunately, allergic to beer so I'd be ordering other cocktails and really enjoying the small plates. What fun beer hop!

[@tometiger47]

Its interesting the different pouring methods in Japan with plenty of foam. If you poured a beer in Australia with that much foam the drinkers would be yelling and screaming. Australian like our beer glass to be quite full with only about a quarter of an inch of foam on top, we like to get our moneys worth…lol.

[@JapanbyFood]

They enjoy their foam here:P

[@tometiger47]

@@JapanbyFood I will be in Japan in October this year and look forward to having a few beers during my travels.

[@onhel1679]

Gonna try them all this week

[@JapanbyFood]

Let us know how you like it!

[@pongkornprasopsukchokmanee9211]

definitely a place to go when i travel to Japan

[@wingyung976]

Shizuka was getting so hyper by the end of the vid lol 😂

[@Jack-r7f4c]

Someone I know recently combined Maple Syrup & buttered Popcorn thinking it would taste like caramel popcorn. It didn’t and they don’t recommend anyone else do it either.

[@calnative4904]

It would be a blast to get a buzz 🐝 with Shizuka. 🍺🍺🍺

[@R0gue0ne]

We all know Shizzy loves a beer!

[@OmgWtfTsuji]

Thank you for posting this. I needed something to cheer me up since I got food poisoning last night and I've been spending my birthday today in bed because I feel like garbage

[@JapanbyFood]

Hope you recovered!!!

[@JapanbyFood]

and also happy birthday!!!

[@OmgWtfTsuji]

@@JapanbyFood Thank you, I'm pretty much all good now. My only problem is that I can't say I'm in my early 30's now since I turned 36 lol

[@Texxet11]

Mliko pours are divine

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Shizuka is now an expert on beer She could teach Canadian brewers a thing or two

[@sonic1957]

No she could not. Everything she tastes is Subarashhhhhiiiiiiii Oichiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

[@Lawrencedimayuga]

Awesome sauce!

[@bernardocardoso1356]

This is why I love Japanese people. They are so worldly. Mr. Sato went all the way to the Czech Republic just to learn the best beer pouring technique. You'll be lucky to be served simple cold beer, here in Canada. It's almost always warm. 🤢

[@JapanbyFood]

Sato pour was great!

[@aznzensation]

Some breweries here are semi decent lol

[@bernardocardoso1356]

@@aznzensation that's the thing. We Canadians, as a whole, are satisfied with just "semi decent". We don't demand or strive for "great" or "the best we can do it/make it", which is why our products, services, and general infrastructure are so mediocre.

[@aznzensation]

@@bernardocardoso1356 our lack of variety on almost everything is a giveaway innit? 😂 You cross the border and that’s evident lol

Thanks to Asahi for sponsoring these beer videos….

[@JapanbyFood]

We could not be more grateful:P

[@zerohuntr]

Like the dunk is going to change then temp of the beer lmfao these gaijin so happy

[@haroldgrey134]

Gotta say, as an Australian beer nerd drinking NEIPAs - in Japan, even low cost every day beers tasted great at Matsuyas because of the secondary foam tap pull that delivered the creamy head. Would love to see the technology adopted here!

[@JapanbyFood]

How great! Thanks for telling us!

[@paulk4662]

Been said before , but too much foam in UK , drinkers will not be happy 😂.

[@Ehawkjj2]

I’ve been unknowingly doing a matsuo pour at my restaurant this whole time

[@JapanbyFood]

How cool!

[@dj...channel2549]

You are my favourite youtuber food . alcoholic beer 🍺 🍻 😊🎉🎉

[@etherdog]

If you've been in Europe, you know how important the pour is. Great to see this technique radiate!

[@Flaschenteufel]

Yep in Germany you can start again if you serve foam instead of beer but what do we know about beer...

[@drunkenek]

Shizuka: foam tastes good with beer

[@JapanbyFood]

It really does, though:D

[@mendo35]

Drinking beer, this video topic must have been Shizuka idea. 😁

[@cybersmurfen]

Intresting video about beer foam. Shizuka is a great host. But he background music makes it difficult to hear what they are saying. Please turn it down. I'm always learning something new watching this channel, Thank you

[@xddesho]

will drop the name!

[@Georgia-u8l]

There is one thing you have got to learn about our movement. Three people are better than no people.

[@ayroau]

21:30 man is in heaven

[@sean1728]

There is a Japanese-style lager that’s featured at my local micro-brewery called “Gaijin Dream.” It’s terribly well-balanced, with just a hint of something citrus at the back-end. If you ever find yourself in Oregon, I’ll buy the first round. 🍻🇯🇵🙇‍♂️

happy birthday shizuka!

Aww thank you!! 🥰❤️

What a great bar crawl!

[@Sandra-t8n7e]

He was 100% into fasting with her until he understood that meant he couldn't eat.

[@HeroKeto]

What is the reason for dunking? Doesnt make sense when its already cold

[@urbanimgstudio4104]

My armchair analysis thinks it’s to sustain coldness a little or to clean the glass of all the foam that just poured out.

[@HeroKeto]

@@urbanimgstudio4104 still doesn't make sense at all

[@ShizukaAnderson]

It’s to maintain a very specific crisp temperature that affects the consistency of the foam!

He had accidentally hacked into his company's server.

Salud ...!!!!

[@JapanbyFood]

Cheers!

[@sharp-m2k]

Who else was drinking beer and watching this?

[@Flaschenteufel]

Thx but I'd rather drink beer instead of foam... that's kind of like choosing your coffee by the added type of milk instead of the roast.

[@joeJoe-pb3su]

Japanese have great passion 😊

[@maxkeppeler6134]

... Drinking beer ... that are liqor glasses

[@stephenEs3532]

no

[@TurfShifter]

Well that is normal for us here in Europe; it is vital for most lager and wheat beers; must have a decent head as it is part of the flavour when drinking. I assume Japan realises this as their brewing is heavily influenced by European traditions.
