The Hidden Food Scene of Tokyo

[@RheaM]

Always love when you guys give us a history lesson alongside the amazing food! Thank you for sharing! 🤍

[@TabiEats]

Glad you enjoyed the history and the food!

[@ramaicaona]

Japan's food culture is rich in its history. Thanks guys for sharing your food journey with us. Feels like we're actually in Japan. 💜

On a recent trip to Tokyo, we tracked down Tamakiya, and with Keiko-san's help, purchased all of the components to re-create the experience you featured. This afternoon we held our tsukudani tasting menu and invited our 2 kids and their spouses. We started off showing your video to give an overview, then proceeded with each course. It was so oishi and unexpected. We all thoroughly enjoyed the combinations and the shared experience was priceless! We had similar apprehensions at the start, as you did, (tsukudani is for rice) but everyone agreed that it was so much more than we could have imagined! And as mentioned in another comment, the historical aspect was interesting indeed! Thank you for great content!

[@Guidance_Association]

Everything looks so delicious! Another destination I have to visit. (Maybe in Spring or Summer.)

[@TabiEats]

Thank you!

[@missprettyonabudget]

Such an interesting video and such experience that was to see! Thank you!

[@talonjansen8926]

Tsukudani is honestly a hidden gem from Tokyo! Thanks for covering it as a food topic. 😊

[@awoFalase]

That's an experience worth having. Food, education and you get to take product home. Thank you for sharing.

Had our first Yatai experience yesterday.. initially we didn’t expect much but it turned out the food was really good.. watching the older couple working cohesively & efficiently was quite amazing

[@brewstergallery]

Really enjoyed this one.

[@TabiEats]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Scriptor13]

What interesting and unexpected combinations of food! Pairing Tsukudani with traditionally Western foods and wine was a real surprise. This video was the perfect combination of ambiance, delicious foods, and fascinating information. Hearing that the zazenmame does, in fact, represent the monks' crossed legs while practicing zazen made me smile. Just perfect. This video was a delight. And so were you two, as always, handsome, knowledgeable, and endearing. 💜💜

[@TabiEats]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@morpheium203]

Completely fresh content wouldn’t expect anything less from you two! The winter videos from y’all are amazing so far! Can’t wait too see what else you have in store! :)

I need people to hit that like button for our two favorite people.

[@WindellReneau]

Excellent video of a dish I knew very little about. I've always used some leftovers for Tsukudani (if I had the energy) but didn't know it was so expansive!

[@castilloalyanna]

Thank you for this video! This shop is near our hotel in Tokyo so we will definitely check out it out in February.

[@davidsobel3303]

I love Tsukudani! My favorite is the konbu with katsuobushi.I always bring some home for gifts and for myself! I will definitely go to this store when I go back to Tokyo.

[@pamelagordon869]

Wow love you guys and love your videos and country I love the food ❤❤❤❤❤

[@TabiEats]

Thanks so much!

[@astroboy3507]

Yes love it and when it's all mixed together explosions of flavours!!!!❤

[@pikakerose]

this was such an interesting video. i didnt know there was so much tsukedani the only one i know is the black salty one in the small jar over rice thats a great shop i gotta put it on my bucket list n that furikake was awesome

[@pikakerose]

do they have a website that i can order? i found their website but its in japanese

[@pikakerose]

my mouth is watering

[@TabiEats]

There is so much more variety of tsukedani than what’s commonly known, right?

[@TabiEats]

Unfortunately they only have a Japanese website at the moment

[@Ainar86]

I feel so stupid, I've probably had tsukudani a hundred times and never knew it had such a deep history and cultural meaning!

[@Ian-wn7eb]

Immensely enjoy all your Tokyo vlog. Coming to Tokyo on Dec 3 -12. Thanks guys. Hope we can meet there by any chance and have photos with my family. Filipino-Chinese here. We're a big fan

[@TheBambi-hd2zx]

We will be visiting in a few weeks, and will definitely put this shop on our list. Our other list of places and restaurants to go are also based on your videos ❤

[@yumiyuny1736]

わー佃煮！前を通りかかって気になったもののちょっとお高そうかな、と入りづらかったお店を紹介してくださって嬉しい💕 ふりかけとか煮豆もあるんですね！今度勇気を出して入ってみます✨

[@melissalambert7615]

Interesting video. Did not know about this. Like the idea of the butter mix. I do herb butters. Maybe have some of these products in your next gift box. I do know Edo was the origin of sushi and that it was fermented, not fresh like now. Your hostess was lovely.

[@tamara4557]

I love tsukudani! I usually make shiitake tsukudani but still want to master the kombu tsukudani one day. This looks so interesting. I indeed always eat it with rice. Never thought of pairing it with western style foods or wine. It makes me wonder what else could be paired with it. Would a tsukudani stamppot work for example🤔 (dutch traditional mashed potato dish). I'll pin this store on my google maps perhaps for next time I'm in town. Perhaps it's fun if as addition to this video to show us around Tsukushima. It's the birthplace of tsukudani. Perhaps on Shinichi's world.

[@TabiEats]

Ohh miaking it with mashed potatoes might work!

[@shannondore]

That's a interesting shop. I would love to try the eel tsukudani. Take care guys!😊

[@karaleea1671]

wow looks so good did you guy get to keep the kimonos? that would be a great souvenir to remember

[@TabiEats]

The happi coats are there for taking photos. Unfortunately you can’t take them home.

[@karaleea1671]

@@TabiEats aww well its good you took pics in them

[@restaurantman]

👍🙂👍

[@HikaruRain]

Can one just eat miso paste straight up? And if so how much can you eat before it is bad for you? Is it full of lots of sodium?

[@TabiEats]

You can definitely eat miso straight up, but because of its sodium content you want to eat it in moderation.

[@jooshungerecker-debruin5812]

So is tsukedani the japanese version of tapas?

[@Ilsabahnur]

I am disappointed that you guys did not come to Tsukuda (where it was made) to highlight Tsukudani.

[@tmg1262]

Caviar version

[@carolynbland8322]

Can you clarify what you say before you eat? I have seen different versions, but it's hard to get a clear answer.

[@debracantrell1058]

😘😘❤️😍🥰🤩🌹🙏🌈💯

[@xXCigarXx]

Pop quiz hot shot,what's in the sauce!?

[@FemDeku1969]

I would have one problem the one with the nuts I would not be able to eat I have a severe allergy to nuts, and it would cause anaphylaxis

What are you talking about? This is a wholesome family entertainment vlog. Are you on drugs or just got out from a mental. Get out of here. You dont belong anywhere in this world
