Late-Night Fukuoka: Yatai Food Stalls and Stories Behind Them!

[@JapanbyFood]

Book the yatai experience here: www.byfood.com/experiences/yatai-street-food-experience-in-fukuoka-632?

[@MikePhoTravelVlogs]

That’s Awesome 💯💯💯💯😀😀

[@jordanmarcus]

‘Cleaning’ the city of yatai food stalls would be a tragic turn of events. I’m glad to hear that the public opinion is swaying in the direction of embracing it as a part of fukuokas idiosyncratic food culture! Thanks Shizuka and team for another stellar video.

[@challenger516]

Stop living in the past, some of these stalls have became tourist traps and their food are mediocre LOL

[@Chuck8541]

Yatai have to be the best food on a night out!

[@JapanbyFood]

It issss🎉

[@HushedHermit]

During one of my first trips to Japan we went to a yatai that was a bit out of the way, the owners were an elderly couple and the majority of the customers were chefs from restaurants around the city, sadly it seems to have gone now but there’s still plenty of amazing yatai to visit and in my experience it’s quite unique in Japan to have strangers chatting to you.

[@sean1728]

Food, beer, making friends…what could be better? I really hope I can get myself to one of these places when I finally get to Japan.

[@Michael-lo7sq]

The best English speaking host and great Eng subs!

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Thank you!! 🥹🥹

[@calnative4904]

The food and atmosphere of eating outdoors looks fantastic, Japan really has incredible food.

[@JapanbyFood]

It really does!

[@Onlybadtakes2589]

Tried one when I visited this year (at that famous French stall), its a fun experience if you are able to communicate since it feels like a social event. Spoke in broken English and very limited Japanese...had a great time

[@MechmanGetrieb]

Yatai was so much fun ! Had the chance to go there in 2008 and will not forget it!

[@MajorAddiction]

Love the little dance when Shizuka started drinking 😅😅. Great ep. Hope the traditional yatai keeps on

[@geoh7349]

I eat a ton of street food in japan. It is amazing and everyone is different!

[@toowoombacorgi6358]

Can't go wrong with a Yatai outing! ❤

[@yoshinot6131]

I'm watching a video during lunch break. I'm healed by Shizuka's tone😊

[@JapanbyFood]

Enjoy your lunch!

[@jimwoodworth9130]

Can hardly wait to visit Japan!

[@xddesho]

Will be back to Japan in June!

[@JapanbyFood]

How exciting! Which places will you be visiting?

[@xddesho]

@@JapanbyFood To be honest, I am just trying to figure it out the moment I get there, kinda like adventurous style! I visited so many places and even the lower regions like Kagawa! Very hard to one by one just so many! HAHAHA Only Left is Hiroshima and Okinawa!!! I came there last May!!! I miss it so much! It is just the best. JR pass Already expensive

[@CheeseLayong]

Shizuka is a true foodie. Beer, Sake, great food and she's really energetic. I also like the format of the show. she speaks Japanese and English fluently so she doesn't come off as clueless. I don't really like foodie shows where the host is clueless and completely foreign to the food. She has a connection with the guide and the locals!

[@danieln.716]

Can't wait to visit Japan one day. Thanks for highlighting the Yatai food stalls!

[@JapanbyFood]

Please come soon!🎉

[@mikaso30]

Arigato gozaimas for another interesting video😊 For Me its really will be interesting to immerse into very unique Japanesse culture. Therefore learning Your language in order to try get the locals, try your food and to be around Japanesse. You are very interesting person to get along togather 😊🍷🫕

[@chewymaster54]

i love it when she wears that head band is so cute!

[@Julie701000]

I really loved Fukuoka, underrated gem of a city to visit. Thanks for another great video.

[@stevend9527]

Yatai daisuki. 💓 I always try to find them since you can get something unique and yummy. Great choice for this video. 👏👏👏👏

[@W4ABN]

Adding this to my list of places to visit if i ever get to Japan. Thanks for sharing.

[@locomoco7141]

WAY TO GO BRUCE......A MAN OF FEW WORDS......

[@xxCablexx]

Fukuoka has always been on the top of my list to visit, lovin't Yatai's, pretty awesome to see some traditional and also some modern takes, can't wait to check them out

[@billshepherd4331]

I watch a bunch of channels during the week. But when Sunday gets here, I look forward to see what you're enticing me with. Keep up the great work!

Thank you so much! We are so happy to hear that!❤

I'm going to Fukuoka next week and will definitely try some Yatai. Thanks for this introduction.

[@adelbert8981]

That looks so much fun!

[@davidinouye2606]

Thank you for the video about yatai Shizuka! I've always been curious about going to a yatai. Maybe when I go back to Japan next year, I'll go eat and drink at a yatai. Thanks again!

[@Ricochet622]

Every Sunday I look for the Japan by Food new uploads, it reminds me of my trip to Japan and also my future trips about where I wanna go next time! Thank you,Japan by Food for the consistently great contents! Shizuka is a great host, love her energy! You can also tell she really loves her beer since she's drinking a draft and Bruce is only having a pint :D

[@JapanbyFood]

We appreciate you so much!!❤

[@roarntito]

Another great video by Shizuka and a great introduction to Japanese yatais! Good food and great folks that own them…. Thank you!!!🌹

Hoping Yatai will never end in Japan. 😊

Awesome!! Have a great week🤍

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you! You too!

[@MelissaGameDev]

We are flying to Fukuoka at the end of the month, so this video is really helpful! Sadly we'll be there too late at night for the tour, but hopefully we can find a late night yatai! :)

[@IkePaz]

you'll have plenty of options when u get here, enjoy.

[@edcmt247]

When I come visit Japan again, I'll make sure to hit up the yatai and izakaya scene. 🍻

[@jtuck682]

Interesting! They must be very hard working people since it appears that not only do they cook and prepare drinks they must assemble and disassemble Yatai every day 😮

[@JapanbyFood]

Yep! They are super hardworking!

[@astroboy3507]

I'd love to go to Fukuoka just for the yatai!!!! It's wrong they get so strict on a great history they must treasure that history!!! Old skool japan I love it!!!! 🍻🍺🥃👍

[@Bad_Karma1968]

As always a great Shizuka vlog

[@SharapovaFan]

I'll be in Fukuoka starting tomorrow. This was very helpful.

[@daydreamerxan623]

if I would visit japan I am gonna go instantly those stands to eat. Just because I see those people working so hard.

[@spang9782]

I was just in Fukuoka with a tour group for a few days. Two of the dinners were included, but on the one "free" night we had, my companions wanted to go to a fugu restaurant! I actually did not care for fugu either. Oh well, maybe one day I'll get to a yatai!

[@JapanbyFood]

Oh please try yatai next time!

[@wmb415]

Sent your vids to a friend of mine currently visiting Japan

Here in Hawaii, many old school Japanese okazuyas, restaurants, etc are disappearing.The younger generation dont want to take over.I do hope Japan starts taking their population decline crisis more seriously soon. Hope you can come here to Hawaii and see why many Japanese love to visit and some move here!❤

[@JapanbyFood]

We would love to visit! We hope they won’t disappear but will stay here forever!

[@nihongochopsocky808]

@JapanbyFood that would be awesome!KZbin channels like yours are inspiring me to teach myself Japanese and to someday finally visit there!

[@paulaoki5474]

[@windknight111]

I miss the food prices in Japan. I would usually eat out 5-6 days of the week when I lived in Japan. Stateside I would go out once or twice a month because a single dinner would run me $70-$80 including tax and tip. Compared to like 1600 Yen, I can get a bowl of ramen, bowl of fried rice and 5 gyoza. 13:16 That area was my go to when I went to Fukuoka. Hit some up some yatai spots before going to canal city mall.

[@JapanbyFood]

Yep, we love affordable eating out options!

I know you are trying to support your company "By Foods" and I love a good Yatai, Long ago one stayed open much of the night with me since I missed the last train back to Sasebo. That said, the video does not make me want to book a reservation with Bruce ( no offense Bruce, you seem like a lovely person and I would love to live in Japan like you do.) and he comes off as rather unable to help and quiet like he is just along for the ride and knows very little about what is going on other than his normal stops...1...2...3....done. If you are going to feature one of your guides it might be best to let them guide and you as the presenter let them, oh I don't know....guide you? You did all the ordering and left little for Bruce to do...you need to showcase his guide talents...not smoother them, we all know you can speak Japanese and know your way around and left me jealous either way since I would love to do what you all do, speak Japanese and have conversations about food in Japanese. It left me wondering what the point of the video was. I will be back in Japan this November and was thinking something like this will be fun but sadly don't see Bruce as a guide more of a guy who just goes along with you and says "I ate there once, we should try it", which I can do on my own. I know this honest feedback might be considered rude or unwanted but I would rather know the truth and improve than be told nothing. Also, when you found Bruce you looked like you wanted a hand shake and Bruce didn't and it was weird for all of us watching.

[@fredstah714]

They need to keep this going, it’s great for tourism. Period. I’d rather travel to Japan to eat street food than to travel to India eat it their filthy street food.

[@aikogiron3449]

This is so ironic. Shizuoka is Japanese but having a foreign guide in japan.

[@ShizukaAnderson]

I live in Tokyo, so I definitely need a local to show me around other parts of Japan haha

[@renmaro1822]

@@ShizukaAndersoni also need guidess that could speak english fluently like you shizuka san! One day Japan.. one day..

She’s from Tokyo. It’s 1000km away.

[@salarycat]

Yatais are such a great experience. But these days of rural depopulation and urban congestion, the long queues make them not so great to attend.

[@angc4life]

Zukes!

[@chichiboypumpi]

We don't get streetfood like this in the philippines.

[@greghelton4668]

I loved the “yatais” of Hong Kong but the authorities shut them down. Hong Kong lost a rich part of its history. I hope the Japanese never lose their yatais. I love them every time I visit though they are far and few in the Kanto region.

[@rigelgamagamefowl8301]

wait im confused.. who is the guide here? who is the tourist?

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Nobody is really the “tourist”, but I guess that would be me, because Bruce is the guide and the local here! 😆

[@libbyrose8541]

Are yatais only in Fukuoka?

[@JapanbyFood]

No, but there are many more of them in Fukuoka!

[@timothyblazer1749]

Its always government that kills beautiful things. Let's hope the locals press the government hard to keep their hands off so that this gorgeous culture can thrive!

[@Selbach555]

The pungent tonkotsu broths are the ones that include the neck, head (including the brain) and hooves. That give it the funky smell and flavor.

[@JapanbyFood]

Some of them are extremely pungent but we were lucky and had some of the less pungent ones:D

[@KC69423]

Private, family owned street food is losing out not just in Japan but also in Hong Kong..
