[@trdartz]

I felt like Shizuka should be the one giving the tour to the guide lol.

[@fumeokid]

She is the best host really! So upbeat and even though she knows a lot about the culture and the food she's eating she still allows the guest host to shine. She is a class act- and I love the Elmo reference! If there was only a way to give this more likes I would! 👍

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you so much! Shizuka is always doing a great job!!!

[@sulayi1441]

Shizuka's smile is everything ❤️❤️❤️ I just keep watching because of her personality

[@tanletran7270]

What is the name & address of all the restaurant that you have visit in this video

[@xxCablexx]

hanging out with Shizuka always looks fun but it looks even more fun in this episode, I'd love to share those foods and drinks with such great company, lovin' her outfit too

[@JapanbyFood]

She is a great company!

[@ArrianDuazo]

Shizuka has such a bubbly and positive vibe. Love it. Also, my appreciation to the food culture of Japan. You've turned food into art, so much added value to a gastronomic experience. Hope to visit Japan someday. 😊

[@JapanbyFood]

We hope that you visit soon!

[@waynekerr7838]

Shizuka-chan, you had me at “long tamago” ❤

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for commenting!

[@skeptik]

7:32 I laughed way too hard at the unexpected punchline . I have a feeling Japan By Food is going to by Go To resource when I book my Japan trip

[@JapanbyFood]

Shizuka planned the joke perfectly! 😍

[@repHAWAIIxJPN]

I'm actually gonna steal that egg joke , that was a good one

[@JapanbyFood]

Exactly our thoughts!

Laughed hard at the punchline - never expected it from Shizuka!

[@JapanbyFood]

It was a good joke!

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

Like chilling and having pre dinner drinks at those small little cozy Japanese bars before going to an Izakaya for more drinks

[@JapanbyFood]

Absolutely! We love it too!

01:15 - I really enjoyed this restaurant (Ghifu-ya 岐阜屋) I usually had ramen, gyoza and a lemon sour.

[@nesselotivar7645]

Another food trip must to watch 🥰 loved u Shizuka

[@JapanbyFood]

Thank you for watching!

[@joltfiend]

I've walked down Omoide Yokocho a few times, but I've always felt intimidated somehow and never stopped in to one of the restaurants to eat. I'll have to try the spot you went to.

[@JapanbyFood]

Make sure to try next time!

[@samirkazah302]

It's crazy seeing how empty Omoide Yokocho is now, when I went pre-covid you'd be incredibly lucky to find a single vacant seat

[@JapanbyFood]

Very true! But it is slowly getting back to normal! Fortunately :)

[@Absurd000]

I'm totally going to use that Tamago joke as soon as I get an opportunity LMAO

[@JapanbyFood]

Right? We thought the same :P It is our joke now!

[@lauriepenner350]

I'm booking another trip to Japan as soon as they open up to Canadians. I'm thinking Christmas break.

[@JapanbyFood]

We hope to see you during Christmas!

[@JapanbyFood]

Same! :D

[@wilkowanders]

We visited this area and It was not for us to eat. Walking by the places were interesting to look at. However it seemed that all the food places were serving only meat. As we were wanting Suhi and we did not see any Sushi places on Omoide Yokocho We ventured to a Sushi conveyor restaurant nearby instead.

[@viffer94]

Shizuka in Shinjiku eating Shishito. Luv it! Tastes a lot like Pimientos de Padrón which are similarly mild but maybe one in ten are super spicy. Grill them and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Yum!

[@JapanbyFood]

Goes super well with yakitori!!!

[@pennythejet]

Yum I love Padron peppers but they are hard to find in Australia!

[@canterburyjhiguma8387]

I think the ARE pimientos de padron, aren't they?

@@JapanbyFood It'll be useful when we finally get to visit there. 👍😃

[@scottb828]

I'm on a mission to stamp out this slurping myth. Yes, the ramen chefs know from the slurping that customers are eating and presumably enjoying the food, but that's not the purpose of slurping. As mentioned in the video, it enhances the flavor, much like slurping wine in a wine tasting (and it can make it easier to eat hot noodles). People slurp when they're eating alone at home, so it's not really a communicative but a gastronomic behavior. 🙂

[@pinaychannel7480]

They will shout you ‘bakero’ if you take a photos haha

[@chrissonnenschein6634]

@Japan by Food :: Such a good idea for the Samurai Rock drink, more character than simply Shōchu - Does the bar use a particular style or brand of 日本酒 for this drink I wonder? I would guess that they do - unless they just leave it to whatever their “house sake” whichever that is?

[@ubertoby]

Poor Shizuka having to put up with that. The irony of a South American asking a hafu if she knows what to say before eating

[@maqywhaq]

Last time I roasted Shishito for a curry, I ended up getting like 6 super spicy ones in 20... Usually never even get one, but somehow, roasting them and throwing them in a relatively spicy curry seemed to make them far spicier than normal... Either I hit the jackpot, or I'm never gonna get a spicy one again...

[@KC69423]

Why are the local city/town guides are not necessarily a Japanese local who lives in the area?

[@thomsevilla4956]

He's an awesome Tour Guide!

[@JapanbyFood]

He really is!

[@KeithTKO]

Couple of misconceptions I like to point out. It is wrong to put soy sauce on rice because it simply falls apart, besides that how it should be held or fish need to be against the tongue is simply not true. Eat it as you like it. Of course minimum common sense should be applied but lots of rules has been created since it became popular among foreigners. Next thing is ramen myths where slurping the noodles tells chefs how good it is is simply not true. It just means it’s allowed and any noodles in Japan has been eaten that way as long as I can remember without any silly reasons. I guess what I want say is some of the rules told nowadays are overly exaggerated, simply enjoy the food without causing lots of mess.

Oyabun , Giving me Tsuma he pinky promise ...Annoucement worldwide

[@spx2327]

I really don't like these non-Japanese tour guides... It is just awkward to see how a Latin-American guy (I assume) explaining to Shizuka the proper way to eat sushi. It is just like me trying to explain to Michael Jordan how to play basketball.

[@spx2327]

@♡ Jiyoon ♡ It is not the tour I don't like, I don't like a non-Japanese person giving me a Japanese tour. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying non-Japanese people are not capable of giving Japanese tours, but it just takes away a bit of the charm.

[@SatyaW]

Why is shizuka being mansplained. She already knows lol

He’s telling the viewers bud and she still won’t sleep with you even though you are white knighting
