Ultimate Food Guide: What to Eat in Matsumoto, Nagano!

Book here: bit.ly/4arHoR1
Shizuka and special guest Jesse explore the charming city of Matsumoto in Nagano prefecture. Famous for its original castle, Matsumoto is also well known for its production of miso, the fermented soybean paste. After enjoying some local mochi treats, they head to the Ishii Miso Factory.
Shizuka and Jesse observe the step-by-step process of how miso is made. This staple of Japanese cuisine is essential for many types of Japanese food, especially for the preparation of miso soup. Of course, this experience would not be complete without a tasting, and Shizuka and Jesse enjoy a miso focused feast.

[@vspec15]

I swear I heard Shizzy say, "It's gonna miso good" instead of "It's gonna be so good!" XD

[@ShizukaAnderson]

[@JapanbyFood]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jtuck682]

Watching this video motivated me to search for Miso Restaurants in the Los Angeles area. Fortunately there are, and I hope they are at least half as good as the one you visited. Thanks, and great job!

[@JapanbyFood]

Good luck in your search!

[@aidantan8312]

Wow I was just in Matsumoto a week ago. This would have been so useful :(

[@JB-yx3kf]

Im stopping my Matsumoto and will definitely go to the warehouse for a tasting. Would be great if I could find the cafe as well, searching for miso cafe toan didn't yield any results for me. Thanks for this hidden gem!

[@xxCablexx]

it looks beautiful there, especially the castle, I want to visit and try some of that quality miso, and I"m always amazed at Shizuka's exemplary taste buds, the descriptions have me longing for some yummy goodness

[@JapanbyFood]

Go for it!

[@davidinouye2606]

Thanks for giving us a unique tour of the miso factory Shizuka! And the meal focused on miso looked so delicious!

[@JapanbyFood]

Our pleasure!

[@ronron1388]

Amazing. Greatest

[@kurtisgillen7658]

Great video. I love miso soup so much

[@JapanbyFood]

It's so good! Thank you!

[@sheld0n]

What an amazing job! Instead of participating in Japan's rough work culture, you get paid for traveling around the country and getting fed delicious treats! So jealous!

[@marcotixxx]

[@nathanielmills4678]

Please have Jesse back now and then. Phoebe is overdue by the way 😊

[@paulocoelho558]

I tried a miso soup the other day and noticed a distinct flavor that reminded me of beer. I'm not sure if this is a common flavor profile for miso soup or if it was just my taste buds playing tricks on me...any thoughts? Interesting video... MI SO like it! 😉😉😄😄

[@Sharon-ym3ko]

I'm visiting Nagano next week! and was planning to visit Ishii Miso factory, how much time would you recommend spending here? I am also planning to visit Daio Wasabi farm as well.

[@JohnTwo1]

It's a bit strange that this is in 50fps when the standard is 60fps in Japan. Are you guys using European camera gear? Also have you considered HDR next?

[@victorlui5955]

Hi Shizzy!!!

[@jomangeee9180]

Hi Shizuka, love that you took us on a journey in your flight attendant outfit, was that a childhood dream? personally I wanted to be a chef, but had to many food allergies :(

[@ShizukaAnderson]

Flight attendant outfit?! 🤔😂 I’m just wearing a winter coat and a beanie/toque 😂

[@thejessta]

Shizukaaaaaaa

[@ScarletCandlelight]

What's Jessie's channel name?

[@reyankhan1897]

Shizuoka! I'm your new fan , Please your fb link? I'm from Bangladesh!

[@senglee4822]

last types that i will eat...

[@Five-OSomeWhere]

I miss Sonny.

[@JapanbyFood]

Don't be sad!

[@steelmademance8167]

That’s a blackanese for sure

[@cstain742]

You guys would make a cute couple both being halfies! Jk, but for real Shizuka, you should make your own KZbin channel where you vlog your life in Japan. That would be so fun to watch and you would be a natural at it! You could visit different places or restaurants!

[@ShizukaAnderson]

I really need to commit on doing this!!
