I blindly booked a tour with Alejandro and although I ended up going out with another member of Alejandro's team, Satoshi, I briefly met Alejandro at the 3rd izakaya in the video. He was super nice and stopped by to say hello and seemed like a great guy. My actual tour guide, Satoshi, was also great and we stayed out after the end of the tour and hit up a few extra bars that weren't on the tour. I had an amazing time, felt super comfortable even though it was just me and the guide and got back to my hotel as late as I might after drinking with friends back home. Afterwards, he followed up with great recommendations for the second leg of my trip in Osaka. Highly recommend.
Alejandro is absolutely right with one thing. Japan is a relatively safe country but the most dangerous thing for a foreigner visiting the nightlife scene is mixing a welcoming Izakaya, equally welcoming bar-mates, and an ample amount of SHOCHU. That stuff will sneak up on you hard! ...oh and by dangerous, I mean memorable (even if hazy) amounts of fun! Some of my fav times in Japan.
Hi, I am an anthropologist and I like the social and cultural context that is shown of some food tastes in Japan. The technical quality of the video is very good; it helps to contextualize the stories. Thank you..!!
Looks like so much fun. The bar scene in Japan, espeically Tokyo looks so happy, unlike the bar scenes in some North American cities, where people are sitting in separate groups and not really interacting. The drinks and the quality and variety of food is great. The beer in kettle reminds me of a Toronto Chinatown thing after the bars and alcohol service time closes... some Chinese restaurants offer "cold tea" ...aka beer in teapot.
According to The Miyagi Cohort Study "Among men, the risk for all-cause mortality was significantly higher in past drinkers than never-drinkers. There was a dose-response association between alcohol consumption and the risk of all-cause mortality among current drinking men. Similar association was observed among women"
I live in the state of California and everything, including the air and water, is carcinogenic here so I've just stopped breathing and drinking water, I'm feeling fantastic! You're also talking about the country with one of the highest life expectancy in the world with a huge drinking culture so either the studies is only one tiny factor or the Japanese are all-powerful death defying demi gods.

Oh, yeah, and when I ran into Alejandro, he picked up our tab at that bar. If you see this, muchas gracias! La pase de maravilla con ustedes!
Yaaaay! So happy you had fun!
Hit me up again hermano and we can do round 2 again soon! 🍻
I love Alejandro's bag!!!!!!!
It's a great bag!!! Arigatooooo
@@okawaritravels pokemon go players woyld be so happy with that! hahaha
We love it 🎉
Where i can buy it ?
It stole the show man 😂
Who's in charge of the music for this show? They deserve a raise!
That implies they are currently being underpaid and under appreciated.
@@Maxშემიწყალე No, people who seek to get their rocks off by being offended at everything read into it that way ;)
I really enjoyed this. Shizuka would be really fun company for a weekend night of drinking and light snacking. And yeah Alejandro’s bag is super cool!
It was a fun night, what can we say!❤
Cute laugh when shizuka is in the park cheering with everyone 😊
Yay yay🎉

You and me both!
I'm glad that you have enjoyed Hanami (花見🌸)
I also drink "Ukon no Chikara (ウコンの力)" before drinking alcohol🍶
Wise choice!
The perfect start to the new week. Monday morning, breakfast and a new episode of Japan by Food. Thank you ❤❤❤
Our pleasure ❤
all the drinks look so refreshing, and that last bar looks like so much fun, I'm also happy the Cherry Blossoms are blooming
I like all the places you visit. However unfortunately I cant drink that much. Looks like so much fun. Good atmosphere.
You don't need to drink alcohol to enjoy the places. Non alcoholic drinks are available so you can still drink with locals
It is good for the atmosphere too!!!🎉
This was a great episode the last place looked absolutely fantastic, I would love it even at my age 😂
Any age welcome!!!

And we found a "loser" like you in the comment?
