What would you try?

[@antonettepeligrino5179]

The yuba and dorayaki👌🏽

[@tastyneck]

Yes.

[@pikathchu]

The chicken and dorayaki looks so delicious!

[@lofiCicada]

The Karaage looks especially fantastic 🤤

[@hellcyborg]

Youkan and Fried Chicken for sure!

[@mikep608]

When I was in kinderfarten, back in 1978, a girl in class went to Japan with her family. She brought back some Japanese candy for us to try. I have been searching for what it was ever since. Now I know it is called "yokan".

[@AD-kv9kj]

"Kinderfarten!" 🤣

[@JunkFoodJapan]

I love how you can always find these small little family owned shops with super delicious food all around the country! Sometimes you walk into somewhere really unassuming and you can just feel the history - makes the food taste that much better.

[@JapanbyFood]

So true!

[@ikosteck]

Love this! wish this channel organized playlists by region so i can look them up based on where I’ll be in Japan for trips 🙃

[@byghostlight0]

I just love how I have been watching channels like this for a year or two and still seeing many new and interesting foods I have yet to see before.

[@JapanbyFood]

We are so glad to hear that!

[@astroboy3507]

I love to eat them all!!! but I love youkan that would have been so nice with a green tea!!!!!👍🏻

[@JapanbyFood]

It really is a nice sweet treat!

[@panathenaea]

I was so grateful to my volunteer guide who drove me and my friends around to explore Nikko. An amazing experience. I'll come back for the food!

[@JapanbyFood]

Must have been a great experience!

[@comecomenikko]

Thank you for coming to my town Nikko! I'm so glad to you had nice food and sightseeing in Nikko. Actually, I recommend Miyamae dango to your listener (6:50), Nikko has many so nice Manju and Dango, but Miyamae-dango is the best Dango in Nikko. Nikko has other good foods too. Please come back to Nikko to food trip and hiking again. I wait for your next visiting. Thank you, Arigato!!!

[@genocidegrand2057]

love tofu skin in any form

[@JapanbyFood]

[@xxCablexx]

oh, I must visit this city, I'd love to snack on the Yuba Manju, and the Youkan looks fun with the traditional wrapping, the classic Karage omg looks so delicious

[@JapanbyFood]

The food was so good!

[@jumbeaux1]

Japan's countryside always looks beautiful and clean. I imagine myself standing in the open for a long time to breath in the fresh. I'm not much of a dessert/ sweet person, so the karaage is my pick 😁

[@JapanbyFood]

You are so right! Nature here is amazing!

[@GilAdams]

I always enjoy your shows and the details.. next year I’m planning 3 weeks in Japan and definitely will have to try a few items

Wrong channel then mate. You want Abroad in Japan.

Just loved the look of that bamboo wrapped youkan shizuka,almost a shame to unwrap and eat it.

It was a piece of art!

[@socaldrew8]

fun video.

Thank you!

Shizuka is an excellent host!!

you should refer this fried chicken to Chris Broad ...

[@JapanbyFood]

We will!

[@theoakhills]

You are adorable. With name like Anderson.......your father from British Nordic Isles. When you smile everybody watching smiles with you (contagious).

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@bcatbb2896]

I actually made something similar to the red bean block desert lol. I found the recipe in some old cookbook and it mentioned being traditionally wrapped in bamboo leaves so i guess its a version of it

[@JapanbyFood]

That is super cool! How did it taste?

[@bcatbb2896]

@@JapanbyFood it actually didnt taste any different to the regular red bean paste you find in the stores. the texture is smoother though like a harder version of jelly

[@AD-kv9kj]

Shizuka walking into a derelict block of flats with faeces smeared all over the walls: "WOOOOOOOWWW!!! SUGOOOOIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!"

[@harsh4834]

I have widely traveled in Japan 40-45 cities across Honshu and Hokkaido. After seeing this video , thinking whether I should have been to Nikko. What say?

[@borarem]

It's hard to go wrong with fried chicken.

[@JapanbyFood]

True that!

[@angc4life]

Zukes!

[@markokino3716]

Ironically, I just watched this movie, "Sweet Bean", about this man who ran a dorayaki shop. Well, it was more about relationships, but it did show how to make sweet red bean paste.

[@JapanbyFood]

Sounds interesting! Where can you watch it?

[@markokino3716]

@@JapanbyFood My brother gave me his DVD of the movie. It's coded for watching in America. Maybe there's one available with Japan Regional Coding.

[@Keichan2501]

The bakery next to the Nikko train station has a bad pudding. Not one of the best puddings in Japan.

[@JapanbyFood]

We did not get to try that one :/ There is a great pudding place in Ningyocho called Tsukushi. Make sure to give it a try:)

[@hellshire11]
