  1. Thanks for tuning in! Now tell us, which one do you think is worth the hype? Which one would you like to try first next time in Tokyo? 🤤

  2. Love the thick noodles at Godaime Hanayama in some umami light dashi broth & NEXT Shikaku tsukemen with thick rich oyster based broth ….

  3. I'm vegan, so Tokyo Vegan Bakes immediately piqued my interest.
    Thank you for sharing these interesting places.

  4. Thanks Japan by food and Shizuka again but I've noticed recently it is all based in Tokyo only? What happen to showing other cities how it used to be? Also seems less places each episode than before…

  5. I've been home from Japan for three days and I'm missing it already, especially the food. I don't think ByFood has ever done a feature on Skookum Hotdog Diner, but it was my winner find of this trip, I cannot recommend it enough.
