    I tried to go to Albatross cause of Bourdain, they were too packed so i ended up at the Hyatt where he also went, and where they filmed some of Lost in Translation, which i found to be one of the highlights of my time in Tokyo.

    Shizuka, Anthony Bourdain was truly a man after my own heart, most notably as an adventurous diner. It's something I have realized from watching his shows No Reservations and Parts Unknown – I have not seen the Japan episode, but his erudition and respect for foreign cuisines in all the episodes really touched something deep in my heart and struck a chord with me, as I have always been willing to try anything new and different myself. I can see myself spending months in Japan going on all your various adventures. ❤

    Just got back from Japan. LOVED Memory Lane. Had delicious Yakitori! The vibe was incredible – one million people but still so much fun.

    You went to the wrong bar albatross. He went to the one in golden gai.

    He really turned that area into a super touristy place that used to be majority locals. It all changed after the episode

    Thank you for making this video. Anthony made me realize I do not want the corporate hustle. I want to connect with people, cultures, mainly through food and conversation

    That is brave of Shizuka! I was blessed or cursed with a very strong sense of smell- I wouldn’t have been able to eat those dishes. Kusaiya- Kusai means smelly! Haha..I love her honesty! And great faces too!

    Anyplace that Bourdain went to automatically raises their prices by 2-4 times. That in itself makes the places no good. Rather go somewhere else that is more unknown to the vlogger world.

    He took his own life. You're celebrates SUICIDE for nothing. Yo are using his death to make money…. God forgive you.

    Funny, i just had a Tamago sando just now, but with Swedish ikura from Tara fish called "KallesCaviar" and it is soooo good.

    I'm so glad I found this video! We're planning our trip to Japan and Anthony Bourdain was one of our favorite travel show hosts.

    13:52 the bow is made of Kanpyo (dried calabash gourd). Love Anthony Bourdain, so it's great to see this video. He was an open lover of offal and all manner of stinky cheese, so it's no surprise he enjoyed the kusaya and offal.
