From Toronto love your videos!
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? 🤤
Another interesting video…..and hello Emma, looking forward to more videos 🙂
Shizukaaaaaaa
☀️✨🤛
Vegan sucks. Eat real food
Love the thick noodles at Godaime Hanayama in some umami light dashi broth & NEXT Shikaku tsukemen with thick rich oyster based broth ….
I love everything in this video we really want to book a food tour with you in October 2026
oh my heart❤ i love emma 😜
Wow I luv it this girl is wanted by jal
I'm vegan, so Tokyo Vegan Bakes immediately piqued my interest.
Thank you for sharing these interesting places.
Omg the sandwiches at the vegan place look ridiculously good 🤤🤤
BTS… Do you all brief and script your visits? Shizuka seems so knowledgeable.
Thank you for more amazing content! Way to save the eggs 😂
The noodles and the salmon cutlet YUM
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…
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.
I feel like the second cracked egg made it to the final restaurant, and added to the dish there???
