      Firstly, none of these restaurants are sponsored, nor have they ever sponsored me in the past. These are all places I personally visited and enjoyed. Secondly, if something is sponsored, it must be disclosed clearly by law. Even without the law, I would always disclose any sponsored or gifted content because I believe in being transparent with my audience. But thanks for stopping by!

    I would be curious to look up all 5 of them personally, but if I am to narrow down to the ones that grabbed my attention the most, it would be number 1 and 5. Personal picks are a bit difficult for me, but I suppose one good example would be the izakaya in Shibuya, I think it's called "Tengu". It is located at the corner of a crossing almost next to the area where railway bridge is (too difficult to explain, but I believe its next/ close to Resona Bank? Somewhere in that building basically). always grab a sizzling steak, grilled squid, assorted sashimi, shark cartilage, edamame, lightly pickled cucumbers and various dried fish snacks + corn tea, flavoured sour or beer (Sapporo classic usually). EDIT: and Bear Papa's in Akihabara under that railway bridge, I am CRAZY about that place XD

    • @TokyoFoodieSarah
      @TokyoFoodieSarah 10 днів тому

      I need to check out Tengu! That sounds amazing! Do you mean Beard Papa - the cream puff pastry place? I LOVE that place too 😆 It's always so tempting when you walk pass that place because of the smell 😂

    • @AKRex
      @AKRex 10 днів тому

      @@TokyoFoodieSarah Yes, the cream puff shop! I even noticed they expanded flavours during my second trip in May compared to the previous one in Oct when they only had custard. Now they also have matcha and strawberry! Though the pastry/ bread itself slightly changed too. In Oct I think they had a puff with fried pumpkin bits on top of it, but in May they introduced a matcha bread.

    The restaurant I’m most interested in is the Okinawan one: Haibana. The food is similar but slightly different from the main islands of Japan. It’s definitely a hidden gem foreigners wouldn’t seek out without a recommendation. As for my memorable meal in Japan it was at a Sushi-ya in Tsukiji outer market: Shutoku Ganso (秀徳元祖). It was a random place I stumbled across without any research in a little alley. The chef was very friendly and I got a few extra pieces outside the omakase menu which was very nice of him.

    • @TokyoFoodieSarah
      @TokyoFoodieSarah 10 днів тому

      I love Okinawan food especially Okinawa soba. I always have it at the end of the meal (like ramen). I haven't been to Shutoku Ganso, but I've recently been to Shutoku Megumi! I think they're both run by the same group! I booked it in advance, and it was very nice. I wish I got extra pieces too... haha

    Hi Sarah! I watch some UA-cam channels about the Disney parks, and they've been saying lately that traditional Disney fans are more attracted to the Tokyo Disneyland than the American parks, because the Tokyo park is better run and has the experiences the traditional fans want. So, maybe you can develop travel packages that combine a Tokyo Disney experience with other experiences in Tokyo. Just a thought! I'lll try to elaborate if you need more information.

    Old video, but I married a Japanese lady back in 94 and she showed me how she liked her egg fried rice. She liked it when I cooked the eggs after I put the rice in the pan instead of pre-cooking the eggs. Other than that well and I hated peas so no peas but other than those things what she asked me to cook was pretty much this.

    I remembered seeing a pretty ryokan only accessible by boat in Arashiyama River, Kyoto more than a decade ago. Google maps it and found it was Hoshino Resorts. In that decade + years, the number of hotels has more than tripled, Japan tourism has truly escalated. For everyone thinking of thinking of taking the train to see the lavender, do take note of the last train. Farm Tomita station, where the lavender fields are, is only open during summer and closes earlier than the other stations (before the farm closing time). Don't miss the last train or you'll have to walk an hour to the next one! Yes, stations in Hokkaido are far apart.
