Shizuka heads to Minato City in Tokyo to check out a yokocho of a different kind. Yokocho, meaning “alleyway” or “side street”, are a network of narrow alleyways lined with various eateries and bars. Yokocho are a fascinating part of Japan’s urban dining culture, but today, we’re checking out a new interpretation of this timely social dining concept: a sky-high themed indoor yokocho!
Shizuka makes her way up to the 38th floor of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Minato City (Tokyo) to Ajikaido Gojusantsug: a high-end indoor yokocho where the restaurants are named after the 53 stations (or rest areas) along the Tokaido Road, which connected Kyoto to Edo (otherwise known as modern Tokyo).
First stop on our indoor yokocho journey, Sanjo–a teppanyaki restaurant serving Japanese wagyu beef. Shizuka sits and indulges in a luxurious course meal starring pancakes with caviar, Japanese black beef sirloin, and more. Next stop on our Tokaido-themed yokocho pilgrimage is Odawara, where Shizuka savors fresh seafood and vegetable tempura. Full but with room for more, Shizuka walks to her final stop, Nihonbashi–a premium sushi restaurant with a breathtaking view of the Tokyo skyline. The chef prepares fresh sushi using the finest local seafood, ensuring our host ends the journey on a delectable high.

I feel like 99% of the subscribers here are males lol
If one had replicate the journey from Kyoto to Tokyo by eating a full meal at every representation of each station, then it is by no means an easy journey.
I think I gotta say Shiz I like your job!!!!! 😊👍🏻
🎉🎉👌👌
Great episode! Take care!!
This channel is so underrated
You take so many cool journeys! Keep being awesome

The food looked so amazing. But where is the producer? Would love to have seen Shizuka san and producer fine dining at a high end restaurant.
❤
Beautiful.
that sfx lol 7:36
Ms. Shizuka is Japan Ambassador.
Really enjoyed this episode Shiz. You’re such a fabulous and informative guide👍
Thank you for your hard work today, Shizuka. Listening to Shizuka's voice makes me feel better.🎉
i hope those costs as cheap as their sizes
Once more… excellent video. Keyword: Fancy 😁
Oh Shizuka, I was so envious of you eating the delicious food! Those meals absolutely looked mouth watering. Can't wait to watch your next video Shizuka! Matane!
Broke character for a second when tasting the Tsukudani at 3:05.😂 Has to be delicious.
Shizukaaaaaaa
These are the kind of places I would live to experience but may be too intimated to make that first step. Happy that this service exists to open the door
All the dishes look great. I can tell you enjoyed your day(s) out 😊.
I've stayed at this hotel three times over the past few years and didn't even know they had this… lol
I just want to say how underrated your videos and channels are! they informative, great presentation, and love how Shizuka is so into her food / travels. Keep it up 😊 Definitely going to visit next time I come to Tokyo!
Shizuka another great vlog 😊
This time, I'm thrilled to announce that I occupied the esteemed position of "thumbs up" number 944, as per Sarah Scoop, the angel number 944 signifies success, financial stability, and abundance in all aspects of life – just what I'm looking for! 😄 I truly relished this episode! 😁😉
I understand the Japanese Govt is spending alot of $$$ to promote Japanese Goods after the Fukushima dumping of "treated water". What is the regular people's reaction, are they staying away from certain products?/
3 Master Chef's within yards of each other?
Fantastic!
Lucky Lady!
Watching this from my room while eating my Family Mart fried chicken. For some reason my chicken seems low quality haha.
Shizuka is such a lovely and cheerful host😊
Thank you for another great episode. Shizuka continues to impress as a host, but the camera person (and possibly the same person who is editing) has superb composition and editing skills–very enjoyable viewing experience.
Yes yes yes! Yokocho is right up my alley….see what I did there? Sorry. But really I absolutely love hitting multiple spots on a street to eat at for an outing. Yum! The Tokaido Road theme is a great way to do it, too. Going on the list. That scallop tempura made me salivate!
Thank you for pronouncing lychee the right way. I love your videos. Can't wait to visit my homeland one day
Does Shizuka do like the ancient Romans who after they finished eating would stick a finger down their throats to regurgitate their meals and start all over again? Because otherwise how does she find room in her little tummy for all the food she eats while maintaining that perfect physique?
Everything you tried looked so delicious, I'm salivating! Also, love your trousers, Shizuka!
Another fantastic video by a most informative young lady, thank you for the insights to such delectable foods….🌹
Hi my beautiful friend I haven't seen your videos for a long time!!! I miss you so much my beautiful friend! I was traveling doing surgery in Florida. Hope your doing well I miss you so much ❤
