Shizuka heads north to a popular location for a day trip out of Tokyo, the picturesque Nikko in Tochigi Prefecture. Well known for its beautiful waterfall and colorful nature, Nikko is also a great place to sample the mouthwateringly tender Tochigi beef! This high-grade wagyu is only available at a few restaurants, and Shizuka indulges in a few fancy meals to check out this celebrated beef.

From a soft and juicy seasonal beef steak to a tenderloin at a historical home-turned-restaurant, Nikko features restaurants that are perfect examples of “yoshoku”. Yoshoku is the term for “western food”, a Japanese take on western recipes that have become part of Japanese cuisine. The influence of western dishes, and traditional Japanese flavors, have combined to make these Tochigi beef dishes a perfect edible mix of cultures.

FEATURED FOODS:
Sakura hambagu: More similar to meatloaf than hamburger, the Japanese “hambagu” is soft ground beef served in a patty with sauce and toppings.
Tochigi wagyu: The high-grade beef of Tochigi prefecture.
Hayashi raisu: A dish made with rice and a hashed beef-stew-like sauce.

  1. Shizuka has the best job ever…and she does it so so well! Great episode once again! 👏

  2. It's the first time I ever heard of Tochigi beef! I'm so glad you showed us Tochigi foods.

  3. Shizuka is the best host for anything involving eating or drinking. 🙂 Also, props to the camera guy and editor of the video packages.

  4. I did not expect that hamburger at Steak House Mihashi to be SO juicy!! Very excited to try that and I must go to the Kanaya Hotel– Absolutely breathtaking!!!

  5. Kudos to Shizuka for handling the fork correctly and gracefully. She seems to like her tenderloin mediumly cooked.

  6. So awesome! Little bites because Shizuka is a lady! Thank you for showing us all these great restaurants and Tochigi beef. Ultra !!!

  7. Great job as Shizuka, and thank you for the reginal map in the beginning of the video

  8. wait a min… "little bites because I'm a lady" when she eats the vegetables, but starts off the steak with a huge chunk, not just a slice.. ha ha, my kind of lady…

  9. Just curious, does it ever happen where you try out a place but it's actually not that great, so you have to scrap the footage and it was pretty much time wasted?

  10. Finally a video on Nikko! Looking forward to going back to Nikko and try this. Thank you for the awesome recommendations. 🥰

  11. Please do not do SHORTS like most vloggers do , too tiny for senior citizen viewers like us , pls be considerate !!! Thanks

  12. If you put hard captions at the far bottom of the video frame it will get cut when zoomed on nowadays wider than 16:9 smartphones

  13. Well, beautiful princess 👸 Shizuka, it's always a pleasure to see your culinary adventures and to hear your voice that is like a beautiful relaxing song, quite fascinating location and the inside preservation of his history puts a distinct note to the all ambiance ad the enjoyment of the delicious cuisine 😊

  14. Love these videos! I hope you enjoyed feeling like a princess from 100 years ago 🙂

  15. I admired the taste of this wagyu beef, because of its perfect marbling, the beef grilled on its own fat realy rich, creamy & juicy. Whoah mouth watering😋
