River Cruise and Unagi at Yanagawa, Fukuoka (“Venice of Kyushu”) 🚣‍♀️ VLOG | Fukuoka Series 5/7

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Hey guyssss! How’s everyone doing?! Here’s a chill vlog of Yanagawa 🌿 I’d love to go back for the river cruise and unagi (eel) 🤤 I highly recommend you stopping by at Yanagawa if you’re spending a few days in Fukuoka 👍

[@jtanaka1]

I’ll be going in late March for Sakura season… any recommendations for Fukuoka area to eat and see Sakura?

How do you manage to eat a lot and not get fat?😃

[@jamessalayo2803]

What a beautiful river tour!..the echo under the bridge was perfect ☺ We love the unagi meal too. Thanks, Sarah! ❤❤

[@stenut2895]

Great video Sarah. The cruise looked very relaxing and the food looked delicious.

[@colinmathie2710]

Yay another video, i hope your well Sarah 👍

[@rossb9984587]

Nice video. Now Japan is open, I'm going to be visiting Fukuoka in November, and this looks like a really nice place for a trip.

[@mnmaddict37532]

Your video of the cruise relaxed me. Thank you. Most of the unagi served in the US comes from China, so you're very lucky.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Most of the affordable unagi we get in Japan are from China as well hahah

[@AI-MusicPlanet]

The food looked so good!

[@alaneisenberg4203]

Unagi is my favorite! A lovely video and I just love your reactions. ❤

[@happy_camper]

Peaceful and relaxing. This river cruise looks fun!! I’ll bring a good hat if I do this on a sunny day 🤠. I tried unagi for the first time this year, and I love it. It’s sooo delicious. The Yanagawa style of preparing it sounds extra yummy!! The fluffy unagi dance was a vibe😆

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Yes! A hat would be a very good idea for a sunny day like this! Oh I’m glad you liked unagi 🙌

[@hjeddieh.a2675]

Thanks you for your sharing Sarah. Nice and beautiful journey trip. Amazing River 😍 and I like eating unagi.

[@meltingsnowman266]

OK, one thing is for sure. When I get to Japan, possibly Yanagawa, the first word to look for in the restaurant menus is 'unagi', my new favourite Japanese word. 😋 But something soft to sit on seems to be a good idea on the boat. Either that or standing up once in a while singing along.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Haha yes I like pronouncing unagi 😂 They may not want people to stand up on the boat so you might have to check that!

[@martiuscastle]

Awesome! Do you know the name of the music you played during the cruise, or did you just picked it randomly? It is so beautiful!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

It was just a random track that I found online!

[@thegibsonserver]

Another relaxing and delicious-looking video. One day I'll take the plunge to broaden my horizons and try unagi. I've never had a desire to eat eel (and I love almost all seafood), however it's time to try new things. I would want my first experience to be as close to perfect as your food looked like.

[@chrisodell2585]

That was fun! 🤩

[@ivvan497]

Almost 20k subs. Congrats Sarah, u came a long way :')

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you for supporting me since when I had like 20 subs :’)

[@dominichill1492]

Another good video Sarah How have you been doing? I enjoyed your last video

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I’ve been good! Thank you!

[@annew5380]

I was at Yanagawa but didnt get on the river criuise because we didnt understand Japanese, and the ending point was somewhere far that we had to make our way back to our car

[@princess96699]

So glad for your wonderful vlog! So the punting boats are still operational! Can I go there and take the boat without prior reservation?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Yes you can! I went without making a reservation!

[@RtdRotem2810]

good video thank you

[@ペン虹虹]

Sarahさんこんばんは⭐️☺️ 船頭さん楽しそーな方でしたね！ベテラン感半端なかったです笑川下り風情があって素敵ですね‼︎ ウナギ美味しそーって、、言いたい所ですが実は食べれないんですよね💦😅 人生、損してますよね⏬笑笑😫

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

こんばんは！ベテラン感とってもありましたね笑 うなぎ食べれないんですか？！😣それは残念ですね...🥲

[@ednasalinas5568]

Have watched many of your videos, I like your style. I debated Yanagawa vs Dazaifu in my 3 days stay in Fukuoka. After watching this video, I am going to Yanagawa. Thanks. One question: Is Unagi different from Anagomeshi (conger eel) in Miyajima? In the US, we see unagi all the time but not much of the conger eel. The eel you enjoyed in this video, that was not anagomeshi, correct?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thanks for the comment! I’ve made a video on 6 things to do in Fukuoka and there I have some clips from Dazaifu too in case you want more info ☺️ Yes, Unagi (eel) is different from Anago (conger eel). The one you can get in Yanagawa is Unagi! In Japan Unagi is often more expensive than Anago 🥹

[@archermail5311]

😲 delicious food 😋

[@rheaceladena3684]

Hello, are there sakura in Yanagawa during Spring? Planning to visit Fukuoka next Spring. Btw, I am new to your channel :)

[@mandychan3281]

@tokyofoodiesarah what is the address and name of the unagi restaurant? Thank you 🙏

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Hi! It's Wakamatsuya and here's the link to Google Maps: maps.app.goo.gl/LCKZZo9maPeLtDEs9

[@joemalkin5558]

Nice video and your beautiful as always 😀😀

[@puilingkwn]

Nice video Did they have tour guide can speak English ☺️

[@IkePaz]

r u still in fukuoka?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

This was filmed in April 😂

[@Bad_Karma1968]

As always a lot of fun Sarah 😉 Fresh hot unagi 😊

[@quadratic123]

Thanks for translating some of the canal tour. It felt like we were there on the boat with you except not getting our butts sore 😂 I feel with the price of the unagi rice it’s a special treat meal had on rare occasions? My comparison for someone in the west is having a steak at a steakhouse.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Hahahah that’s great, it was only me who had to sacrifice my butt 😂 Yes! Unagi is considered to be a bit on the luxury side. I think a steakhouse in the west is somewhat similar 🥩

[@Cekicrottt]

Sarahさん、 I like your english accent。Doesnt sound like japanese speaker 笑

[@nityanandkumar8120]
