[@AI-MusicPlanet]

The crisps looked really good

[@nicolette6460]

If possible, please do one for Zushi Hayama

[@martsee]

Kindly mention what month you were in that location and day of the week so we know if it's a weekday or weekend, to avoid crowds. Don't they have English menus in the restos around Tokyo station. Thanks.

Stopped at that Starbucks!!! Thanks for the preview! And walked around the Imperial Palace and the Train Station...all based on your recommendation!! Thank you!

[@meltingsnowman266]

Thank you, Sarah. In these days of perfection in social media posts, it is so refreshing to watch someone else (as well) spill on herself, and let us laugh with and not at her, because of course, we are all alike. 😊 One evening I came home and discovered that I had worn my T-shirt turned inside out the entire day (perhaps I need glasses?). But I mean, who will care in 100 years?! Life goes on. 😅

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

😂😂 Nowadays there are t-shirts that have labels on the outside and looks like it’s been worn inside out. So I guess it’s fine 😂

[@WhimWhims]

That tiramisu looked amazing! I love red bean + matcha together :)

[@joliotsee4825]

Hi Sarah, love your work ❤. It’s an honour and pleasure to be your new subscriber. I just returned from 3 days in Tokyo and am already planning a return trip in 2025. I was fascinated with the Tokyo Station, the surroundings and underground malls but we only had limited time there (and yeah, we got lost a bit being first timers 😅). Surely I told myself, there is a local gal who offers private tours of the Tokyo Station and surrounding that includes food and shopping. And Voila…just like that, this video pop up 🎉. You can imagine how excited I was to discover Shun Tours 🎉🎉🎉. And I am telling my family and friends about your channel and travel business 😊. Congratulations on the launch of your business and a belated congratulations to you and your family on your wedding. Be Well.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Wow thank you so much for such a nice comment!! Tokyo Station is very confusing even as a local 🤣 I would love to take you on a private foodie tour next year! Please let me know when your dates are fixed 😊

[@JordinTime]

Thank you for this video! Had a fun time watching and excited to see the series grow!

[@mariagrant9684]

Thankful .. .. for the great tips for my upcoming Tokyo trip👍🏼

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Glad it was helpful! ☺️

[@TLsg00]

Great video! Wish I had seen this video before my trip! Been to Tokyo Station twice to take the shinkansen and got lost both times 😂 ended up with no time to eat in the station! I will bookmark all the places in this video for next trip to Japan!

[@lillygirl7238]

Thank you for sharing. Headed to Tokyo later this year and will definitely check these areas out.

[@iliketechs8820]

thanks Sara. We plan to Tokyo and Sapporo later Aug, it's very helpful

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you! I have a series on Hokkaido too, so I hope you can make use of those videos to plan your trip! ☺️

[@AC_702]

I think this a good idea for a series!

Great!!

I loved the Imperial Palace Gardens, next time I go I need to see more of the area.

It’s so peaceful 🥹

Thank you Sarah for this video .Hopefully I will go there and taste foods that you are recomended..

[@amyr3285]

Thank you for this video! I will be staying near Tokyo Station (not the Tokyo Station hotel sadly) and this is just what I was looking for. My question is, my hotel is about 5 minute walk from Tokyo Station. Will my iPhone work to help me not get lost around here? My sense of direction is not that great. Thanks!

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Great vlog as always Sarah 😃

[@hefejp]

Thank you for the amazing list 😊 Another great video c:

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you! ☺️

[@gabemik]

You keep giving me great ideas around places I am heading to later this year. Now if you can make one each for the Hanzomon area, and the coastline near Naramoto you will just about complete my week around Tokyo!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thanks for the comment! Well noted on your request ☺️

[@Ajummaray]

This is such a great video. Thank you for sharing! I would definitely be visiting Tokyo station to try the fresh Calbee fries!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Yes they are soooo good! 🙌

Sarahさんこんばんは🌙 今回は内容が盛り沢山でしたね🤭 海外の方もコロナ前のように観光に来てくれているので、Sarahさんの動画を参考にされる方がきっといらっしゃいますね。最近、生の🫑ピーマンに色んなものを乗せて食べるの良く見かけますが流行ってるんですかね？ピーマン好きには堪りません🤤

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

こんばんは、コメントありがとうございます！☺️ 生ピーマン、私はこの時が初めてで、2ヶ月経ってますがその後は今のところ遭遇していません！笑 意外にさっぱりで美味しいですね！🫑

Great video!! So many cool places to eat! Adding it to my list!! Kara-age and Ume-Shuu highball is probably my favorite thing to order when going out in Japan!! I cant wait to be back!! 😋😋

[@DrHypnotoad]

This is a great video series idea Sarah. I hope to see more of them. I just finished a trip to Japan, and I felt I only scratched the surface of Tokyo. I'd love for you to do a video of Ueno - I felt there was so much food to eat but I could only manage a walk through the market in the time I had. ありがとうございます😁

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Glad you enjoyed the video but I hope you enjoyed Japan a little more! 😭 I’d love to make a video on Ueno thanks for the suggestion! ☺️

[@markvader8083]

Very informative video. Always good to get recommendations from a locals perspective(especially when you can show a map of the area). Someday, when I finally get to visit Japan, I hope to visit Kumamoto(where my Grandfather was from) & Yamaguchi(where my Grandmother was from). Thank you for always making great videos of Japan.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you for the comment! ☺️ Showing a map of the area is a great idea!

[@shyeri888]

Hi Sarah ,new subscriber here❤,thank you for these kinds of videos 🥰

[@AllJustOnesandZeros1010]

Great video and a really cool idea for a series. I am curious when you talk in English and walk down a hall and see signs in both languages, what one do you tend to read more? Thank you for the video!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

When I’m filming for the video I tend to look at English! When I’m on my own not filming, I tend to look at Japanese but if the English is interesting I look at the English 😂

[@beebee404]

Glad the matcha tiramisu didn’t disappoint!

🤤

[@teacherruby3352]

Are the shops all in Tokyo station basement? Thank you

[@neelukampani6548]

Thanks Sarah!!! I just came from Japan, went for thefirst time n felt so bad after watching yr video that l cdn't go around Tokyo station but tried to go to lmperial palace, the second last day of our return but cd go to the gardens which were not as impressive as you showed in the video. We cdn't see the palace also....

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Oh no! I wish I uploaded the video a little earlier 😭

[@donnasham9344]

Does the matcha tiramisu have any coffee in it?

[@colinmathie2710]

Hi Sarah, great video as always. I was just wondering how your Sake qualifications were going?

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you for the comment ☺️ I really haven't been able to get enough time for it as things have been pretty hectic recently... 😢

[@3mania113]

I'm not sure if you are doing anything different, but you are looking more beautiful than ever!! Love your content! 😍

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Oh, I don't think I did anything! Thank you! ☺️

[@paulready8897]

Sarah Sama you are very beautiful, love your humor and your video. I bet the Imperial gardens would look amazing during Cherry Blossom season. You are too funny lol. You know the food is delicious when you make a mess. Would love to see videos on Kagoshima or Naha, Okinawa.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you for the comment!! I absolutely love Okinawa so I’d love to make a video when I visit there ☺️☺️ Kagoshima is also great 🙌

[@LolaChu-e3e]

Great video! How easy is to find all these locations? Only have two hours after arriving by Shinkansen but would love to visit character street and other locations you showed. Thanks!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

The ones within Tokyo Station are easy to find because you can just follow the sign or ask a member of the station crew. The other places are also easy to find on Google Maps too ☺️

[@IceCream-hp7mm]

Wow the stain remover tip 👏🏼

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Lifesaver 🙌

[@guygadbois3010]

I don't just eat lunch, I wear it as a fashion statement - I need those Shimitori kits!

Shimitori FTW 💪

[@roscored1000]

Sarah do theses places for food have english menus as well or do you have to have a translator with you? thanks for the inspiration

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

A lot of these places only have Japanese menu (maybe except for ramen street and others) but you can always use the camera function of Google Translate

[@roscored1000]

@@TokyoFoodieSarah yes I have discovered how well it works offline too thanks

Went down Character Street (no idea it was called that, thanks) and I was like *_where the hell is the food!!!_* 😆

One day… 🥹 Please promote my channel to your friends 🥹

[@donald.R]

Starbucks was ridiculous in Tokyo. Even the one near my hotel in a not-so-touristy area was packed(Gotanda Station). But then again, it was pretty much the same for every restaurant or food shop I went to. Even McDonald’s was full of people at 10pm.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Oh yea Starbucks is super full even in really local and non-central areas 😂

[@RIFADOR001]

I love the shark-cat. But in Fukuoka they don't sell it... (do they?)

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I checked and it seems like they had a pop up store in Fukuoka until last month! But unfortunately there are no Mofusand stores unless there’s a pop up 😢

[@KoshoyBM]

She's so funny 😂

[@dont_call_me_anthony89]

Believe it or not, I was semi-excited when you mentioned the Nijūbashi, and I thought "NiZiU-bashi" by mistake 😅 Oops! Anyway, Tokyo station for me is just a through-way to Ginza and Tsukiji. I'm generally not good with big crowds 😭

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Oh hahahahaha i did not realise 😂😂😂 Yup Tokyo station was super busy because I was there on Golden Week 😱

You lost me at STARBUCKs...I didn't come to Japan to drink coffee from a chain in the US. I guess this video is for the Otaku types who just got there based on what they have seen on Instagram and not there to actually visit Japan. All those places are nice, but boring and not at all "japan".....

It's a train station idk what you expected
