Unique Japanese Street Foods to Try in Takayama, Japan (with Hida Beef!)

Come join us for a unique Japanese street food tour in Takayama where we try numerous tasty bites including many items featuring Hida Beef. Out of all the street food we've tried in Japan I can confidently say Takayama offered the most unique items in the sense that every other thing we tried had some form of Hida beef as an ingredient whether it be steamed buns, skewers, takoyaki, croquette or nigiri. We also sampled two different kinds of Japanese ice cream - one shaped like a chestnut and another with soy sauce as an ingredient. The one with soy sauce was more salty than it was sweet which was quite interesting. Another Japanese street food item that we tried was puffed rice crackers with various seasonings. Overall, our street food in Takayama was fantastic and if you're visiting it is an absolute must to try the Hida beef items on offer.
The street food we tried in Takayama:
1) Chestnut Ice Cream - ¥250
2) Hida Been Bun - ¥430
3) Hida Beef Croquette - ¥190
4) Hida Beef Skewer - ¥450
5) Hida Beef Takoyaki - ¥350
6) Rice Crackers - ¥120-150
7) Soy Sauce Ice Cream - ¥380
8) Hida Beef Nigiri - ¥700

Unique Japanese Street Foods to Try in Takayama, Japan (with Hida Beef!)
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel, we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world. Our most recent trip was to Japan where we spent 2 months traveling around the country and visiting the following destinations: Osaka, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Nikko, Takayama, Yokohama, Odaiba, Shirakawa-gō and Takao.
During our stay, we visited a mixture of big cities and small rural towns, where we enjoyed eating Japanese street food, trying traditional Japanese cuisine, visiting local attractions and staying in unique accommodations (such as capsule hotels and ryokans) that we are now going to share with you on this channel. The combination and contrast of visiting futuristic cities and traditional countryside areas is what makes travel to Japan so fascinating. Ultra modern versus traditional. This is the essence of Japan.
Our trip to Japan was unforgettable and until now it is one of our favorite countries that we have come to know. However, we only feel as though we just scratched the surface on this trip to Japan. If you want to see more videos from Japan in the future, let us know in the comments that places you'd like us to travel to and food experiences you would like to see on this travel channel.
Have you traveled to Japan before? What was your experience like? Please share your Japan travel tips, advice and experiences in the comments below.
Thanks again for watching our Japan series! Until next time!

Soy sauce ice cream sounds interesting! Would love to try that, especially after the spicy noodles I just ate

[@samuelandaudrey]

It was a really unique ice cream!

[@DeanaandPhil]

@@samuelandaudrey I bet! =) Worst one by far I had was Durian ice cream. But I love soy sauce, so maybe it's a hit!

[@lynnmoore2664]

Soy sauce ice cream doesn't sound very tasty but I would like to try it. I really like these street food tours you guys do, as there is some very interesting items to see & hear your opinions on. Love watching Audrey as I just love her sense of humor she displays in your videos! You two take care stay safe out there & looking forward to your next one.

[@Nynke_K]

I can't believe I missed so much while in Takayama! We were only there for one day though, and had two wonderful meals, so I can't really complain. I may need to try and return one day, though :)

[@bajlandia2025]

Cool food guys as always ! You should stay in Japan :) forever !

[@samuelandaudrey]

Hehehe...it is tempting

[@nonfoodon]

Wow yummy

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks!

[@risetizzer6504]

Takayama Amazing! Please go to Kyoto next time

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank yoU! Kyoto is next up!

[@clydekawanishi7998]

Thank you for your video on Takayama. Walking through Old town and morning market helped me to plan my trip. Kudos on trying the different Japanese foods. Give you a A for trying Natto. I've eaten it but won't go out my way to get it.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you! We just loved Takayama! What is it like being there now?

[@clydekawanishi7998]

My trip isn't until Oct 2021. Hopefully Covid will more in check. My first trip to Japan 2019 and love it so much wanted to see more of my heritage. Like you plan to eat my way across Japan. From what I gather a lot of the tourist have gone down due to the restrictions. Currently planning a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico in end of April. Mexico has less restriction. Will get my 2nd Modera shot tomorrow. Glad to see your get out again even though it's your own country.

Thanks!

[@Lalunabreeze]

So beautiful.

[@dhanurekha6978]

Hello Sam, how many days you stayed in Takayama? Did it rain on all days during the stay? Every video opens with our 'Star' Audrey with an umbrella!

[@MrsTeenagewiccan]

I’m not sure if I’m confusing this with something else but I believe those rice crackers are also called senbei 🤗

[@thjm303]

Hida beef is as good as KOBE but cost less. so if you are willing to spend 4000-5000 Yen for a steak, You could get one of the most unforgettable beef experience in Takayama.

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

We definitely have to try Hida beef!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Fascinating to hear!

[@brunogambini5683]

The chestnut icecream seemed very good. But the hida beef on skewer looked delicious! Although I have never heard about hida beef before. Is it from a specific kind of cow, like Kobe beef?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Bruno! Ineed, a special cow with black hair from the region.

[@anastasiastefanie2620]

Hello. A great video. Its rain in your video. May I know what month this video make when you in Japan ? Is it June July? Do japan always raining on those month?

[@aipooalice]

Ahah mix mixね, mix mix ne! Japanese really put that “ne” everywhere 😂

[@yohji538]

Is Takayama usually cloudy or rainy?? I have never been there though I’m Japanese. I really should go there!!!

[@dbwatx931]

Waiting for the Audrey says oh wow and then turns and runs off with food! 🤣

[@usernameisusername]

Vocal fry is strong with these two.

[@Busybeeee]

Soy sauce ice cream! Wow! Who would have thought?!

[@samuelandaudrey]

I know what you mean!

[@user-yv4je3eq9g]

神戸牛は食べたことあるけど飛騨牛を食べたことない。うまそうだなぁ。

[@waikuenlee6242]

hi :Sam and Audrey I 've been watching your video about the Shirakawago（白川鄉）,did you go there? I have been there once in winter , it's as beautiful as a fairy land .

[@monsterlove2323]

Hi Guys! a subscriber here... As English-speakers, d'you find it easy to communicate in small towns of Japan or even in Tokyo, for that matter?

[@perdomot]

Believe it or not they have soy sauce Kit Kat in Japan too. Never tried though.

[@TheIceMan23]

60 fps food.. nice 😊

[@STOPsignforRT]

Okay, alright already. You've convinced me. Hida Beef it is. I'll take one each of every Hida Beef item you guys tried. Have them priority mailed to me FedEx Overnight Express. Oh and you can pay for it. I'll pay you back, I'm good for it. 😄😄 Seriously though... I had not heard about Hida Beef until you guys started eating it. Now 'Another' bucket list item to check off. Item 5) -Eat Hida Beef. ✅ BTW - Did you guys eat Kobe Beef on your trip to Japan? Or did I miss that video? Would be interested to hear your comparison.

[@Mwoods2272]

Hida and Kobe beef are really good but IMO Matsuzaka beef is better.

[@mr.MarvintheMartian]

Item 6) - Eat Matsuzaka Beef. ✅ I’m game for all. 😋

[@RealSpaceHobo]

Being a longtime vegetarian, it was knda scary - BEEF is actually from some body part of a once living creature, in bio-evolutionary terms quite related to us, but...."when in Japan"....:-).....next up - DOG meat...or?.....HORSE meat is quite rare and tender too...:-)....MONKEY meat tastes like chicken, I think...:-)

[@YasmeenMO]

yay meat time

[@Carmen-jg2fn]

how easy is to go to japan, I mean like the trains or buses?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Great services for both Carmen. Buses tend to be cheaper and slower.

[@TheThomeck]

There from canada. You can hear it clear af when they say "out" or "about"

[@xikefocus]

@@TheThomeck OK. sound a little bit weird. I'm not familiar with Canadian accent.

[@angeleprevost16]

Anyone else hate how Sam eats LOL :F

[@plejade4125]

Nahhh hate is such a powerful mean word, but it seems sometimes like he is in a rush ^^' In general I would prefere to not to speak with the mouth full or while chewing, but it's a personal thing because here it's a really rude thing. So I only watch cahnnels who make like a short cut to chew it down, but they both are so sympathic I can't leave, the videos are just sooo awesome^^

[@ArifGilgitiVlogs]

Nice video Love from Gilgit Baltistan Pakistan

Another video from Japan? I like this channel a lot but this Japan travel video series is getting old and repetitive! BTW, I love Japan too I hope to visit it soon.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Our series will be done in a couple of weeks.

Hey Sam come back to India.... When r u coming.....do Indian vlogs.... I don't like these Japanese vlogs...

[@penicek]

Why only Japan for months?Ok, Japan is a Wonderful Country, but you exaggerate a Little bit...

[@andy9319]

Very very expensive....

[@samuelandaudrey]

The hida beef items were not cheap.

[@andy9319]

@@samuelandaudrey "not cheap" is an understatement

[@toughharley1903]

OMG when your husband finally has camera time, shut up and let him talk, your big mouth can't shut up for 2 min. Poor Sam. Sam you should make a separate channel so you can be relaxed and be yourself and have more camera time and conversation. I always enjoy your solo videos with one of your guy friends they never interrupt you when you when your trying to talk.
