Japan Food Trip. 2019 prior to the pandemic, we visited Japan along with family and the places we’ve visited, an essential thing that all humans do is eat. So in this video, we’ll showcase the places we ate namely: Tsukiji Market, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, and Tokyo. The places we ate specifically are the following:
Tsukiji Outer Market is a district adjacent to the site of the former Tsukiji Wholesale Market. It consists of a few blocks of wholesale and retail shops, as well as restaurants crowded along narrow lanes. Here you can find fresh and processed seafood and produce alongside food-related goods such as knives. (Japan-guide.com)
A visit to Tsukiji Outer Market is best combined with a fresh sushi breakfast or lunch at one of the local restaurants. The restaurants are typically open from 5:00 in the morning to around noon or early afternoon. Because most of the fish served and sold at Tsukiji Outer Market is delivered directly from Toyosu Market, this is one of the best places in Tokyo to enjoy fresh seafood.(Japan-guide.com)
Nishiki Market (錦市場, Nishiki Ichiba) is a narrow, five-block long shopping street lined by more than one hundred shops and restaurants. Known as “Kyoto’s Kitchen”, this lively retail market specializes in all things food-related, like fresh seafood, produce, knives and cookware, and is a great place to find seasonal foods and Kyoto specialties, such as Japanese sweets, pickles, dried seafood, and sushi.

Nishiki Market has a pleasant but busy atmosphere that is inviting to those who want to explore the variety of culinary delights that Kyoto is famous for. The stores found throughout the market range in size from small narrow stalls to larger two-story shops. Most specialize in a particular type of food, and almost everything sold at the market is locally produced and procured.(Japan-guide.com)
Ichiran Ramen Dotonbiri Shop, Annex. This is the largest Ichiran shop in Japan, occupying all floors of the building. The first floor is a souvenir shop, while the second and third floors have a counter with 60 seats. Meanwhile, the fourth and fifth floors are designed in a yatai booth style based on the nostalgic yatai seen in Fukuoka. (Japan-guide.com)
In Hiroshima, we had lunch and tried their Okonomiyaki. Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savory pancake dish consisting of wheat flour batter and other ingredients cooked on a teppan. Common additions include cabbage, meat, and seafood, and toppings include okonomiyaki sauce, aonori, katsuobushi, Japanese mayonnaise, and pickled ginger. (Wikipedia)
