Join Shizuka Anderson to discover the best street food in Takayama City, Japan!
Our first stop is æ (“ash”), a no-waste cafe and bar where baristas and bartenders whip up creative coffee-based cocktails, from various espresso martinis to Irish coffee and cold brew drinks. We then visited SG Low, a hidden Izakaya bar blending New York City's Lower East Side and Shibuya culture, that serves creative dishes and has a rather unorthodox way of doing shots. Our final stop is SG Club, arguably the most famous of the three, voted among Japan’s 50 Best Bars & Asia’s 50 Best Bars.

If you visit Japan during the autumn season or summer, you may just get the chance to see this twice-yearly traditional Japanese festival ("matsuri" in Japanese) just a day-trip distance from Tokyo in the Edo-style town of Sawara -- roughly 1.5 hours by train from Narita Airport. One of the biggest float festivals in the Kanto Region, the Sawara Grand Festival has over 300 years of history and is a UNESCO Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.

Sitting just across from Toyosu Fish Market – which became the largest fish market in the world after making its move from Tsukiji in 2018 – this spot could be a great alternative to super busy Tsukiji Outer Market.

Your plane tickets are booked — your trip to Japan is really happening! The next step is planning the perfect itinerary, ensuring you leave no stone unturned. Lucky for you, we've got a well-rounded 2-week plan you can use as-is or as a base to prepare for your highly anticipated trip.
If it's your first time in Japan, chances are you'll want to hit what many call "the golden route." That's Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka in a single visit. Plenty of other destinations in Japan are worth visiting (we'll suggest a few and some alternatives), but if you want to get the classic Japan experience, sticking to the golden route is the most suitable option.
Located in in Gifu Prefecture’s Hida Region at the base of the Japanese Alps, join host Shizuka Anderson as she explores this off-the-beaten path Japan trip recommendation that's still less frequented by foreign visitors. Beautiful to visit during any season, this is a gem hidden among the mountains, known and loved for its beautifully rustic historic district and for being a foodie paradise.
Watch until the end for a sneak peak of our next Gifu episode!

Do you know what a snack bar is? Snack bars, or "sunakku" in Japanese, are traditional neighborhood bars typically run by an older lady known as "mama-san." These bars, which have their roots in the Showa period, are popular hubs for salarymen and locals, playing a significant role in Japanese nightlife culture. Today, I'll be joining a tour to explore the wonderful world of Japanese snack bars and meet the lovely, vibrant owners who bring these unique establishments to life. Join me as we dive into this fascinating aspect of Tokyo's retro bar scene.

WHAT IS KOBE BEEF?

It comes from Tajima cattle that are raised in Hyogo prefecture and meet strict criteria in terms of environment, breeding, and meat quality. Only virgin Tajima cows can qualify as “Kobe beef,” and they must meet certain standards, like a BMS of 6 or higher and a yield score of A or B.

Don't miss out on this gastronomic journey that will surely inspire your foodie travels on your visit to Japan!
Ibusuki, located on the southern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture, is renowned for its unique geothermal activity due to being in a volcanic region. Additionally, Ibusuki is recognized for its picturesque coastal scenery, including the beautiful Kinko Bay. Shizuka explores all of this and more on this byFood adventure!
Our first stop is Daimaru Katsuobushi Factory, where Shizuka goes behind the scenes of katsuobushi production. Katsuobushi is dried and fermented skipjack tuna, which is a fundamental ingredient in washoku (Japanese cuisine) known for its intense umami flavor. Shizuka runs us through the production cycle (processing, cleaning, freezing, drying, smoking, fermenting, and drying) before getting in on the action! She bravely enters a minus thirty (and then a minus fifty) katsuobushi freezer. After this, she defrosts outside and tries fresh katsuobushi and a healthy regional soup dish called cha bushi.
Next, Shizuka visits and experiences one of Ibusuki’s top claims to fame; natural hot sand baths! Ibusuki has the only natural sand baths in the world, making it a popular destination for domestic and overseas travelers looking for rejuvenation.
After brushing off the sand, it’s time for lunch! Ibusuki has geothermal steam areas, which are used as public cooking areas. Shizuka steams eggs, potato, and okra for lunch before moving on to the day's final stop; a somen noodle restaurant of a different kind. Tosenkyo Somen Nagashi is a somen noodle restaurant that uses fresh spring water from a nearby gorge. Typically, nagashi somen noodles flow down a bamboo chute, but at this restaurant, they flow in a circular motion in the middle of your table.

Japanese all-you-can-eat buffets in ONE DAY? Can Shizuka do it? – While Japan is known for its super small portions sizes, there is a surprising number of all-you-can-eat, or 'tabehodai,' restaurants all across Tokyo. In this episode, Shizuka takes you to must-try and very unique spots in three different neighborhoods of the big city and attempts to finish every last bite!

The trip kicks off in fancy Kagurazaka, known for French-inspired stores. Here Shizuka tries a unique salmon ramen that’s like no ramen she’s ever tasted before
Next stop: The Tabata neighborhood, where we track down the viral matcha ice cream that has taken the internet by storm! Watch as Shizuka tackles this powder-loaded treat and see if she can handle it without a coughing fit.
Then, Shizuka visits Tokyo’s Koreatown, Shin-Okubo, , where you can try the jiggliest cat pudding on the market. It’s not just dessert; it literally dances.
And lastly, continuing the quest for jiggly things, Shizuka ventures to Omotesando’s Little Pool Cafe, where a hearty serving of omurice awaits those who adore runny eggs.

The fiery journey begins at Kikanbo, renowned for serving Tokyo's hottest ramen. Stepping into the ominous ambiance of the store, Shizuka faces the diabolically spicy ramen, but there's more than just heat to look forward to. Amidst the fiery broth lies succulent chashu pork that melts in the mouth, accompanied by perfectly cooked noodles and a tantalizing boiled egg.
Next on the fiery agenda is a showdown with a scorching hot mapo tofu, generously topped with sansho and togarashi pepper. This Chinese delicacy sets the taste buds on fire with a harmonious blend of spices, promising an unforgettable spicy experience!.
The grand finale awaits at the Fire Garden, where Shizuka encounters a dish that pushes the boundaries of heat – the Carolina Reaper yakisoba! The color itself is enough to scare the challengers away, but Shizuka braces herself for the ultimate test of endurance.
Join Shizuka on her fiery quest as she navigates through Tokyo's hottest foods, pushing her taste buds to the limit. Will the spiciness prove too fierce to handle? Tune in to witness Shizuka and her indomitable stomach take on these scorching challenges!
