👩🍳👩🍳👩🍳 *_あなたのシェフの動画を見て、すぐに料理を始めたくなりました。共有していただきありがとうございます_*
Thank you for watching our chef series!
I love that there's more plant based options there. I've been to Natural Lawson many times when I stayed there and it's great it exists when you want quick food.
We totally agree! Natural Lawson is a place to go when searching for healthier options!
She’s back! Awesome episode as always.
Thank you for saying that ❤
Not a vegan, but nice to know there are places available in Japan! And of course, monks in the temples are very creative with plant based meals!
Yes! When in doubt, Buddhist cuisine is a way to go!
Vegan eateries is such a niche market especially in most Asian countries . Shizuka's detailed descriptions and enthusiasm will certainly draw more clientele to these establishments. #JapanByFood delivers again !
Yaaay, thank you so much!❤
Amazing! ❤ thank you for the video! It was so informative 😊
Shizuka-san is looking gorgeous like always ✨
You're doing awesome!
Gambarimasuu!!
Thank you! Very kind 💖
Guys, you outdid yourselves in this one!
First, the quality of the vegan options look absolutely top notch. I'm not vegan/vegetarian, but I would totally have these options, particularly if Im in the midst of fasting periods.
Secondly, Shizuka just took it to another level. I absolutely LOVE how she put herself together in this episode. She looks so good in that dress and jacket. Amazing!
Thank you guys for the research, the time putting this together, and adding that next tier of fashion to match with Shizuka's amazing personality and wonderful presence.
Thank you so much! We did our best!
OMG, that maitake mushroom looked so good! ❤ 🤤
Heavenly!
Yeah, maitake are really great!
cool episode! love to see how creative people are with vegan recipes!
Absolutely! These places rocked!
amazing and delicious video as always! the gyoza looked suuuuuuper good. Appreciate you guys always Japan by food!
Our pleasure ❤
Thank you for the entertaining episode. Especially the omurice impressed me.
Glad to hear it!
Omg yeees, literally the first spot shown in the video was the one I visited 3 years ago during my exchange period!!
Masaka was insaaane!
The Karage at the Parco venue is very delicious! I went there myself two weeks ago!
Oh cool! Great to hear you liked it!
nice to have vegan options... other food options than sushi, noodles and sweets.... exactly what we need.. more food options!!!! eat our way through Japan!
Right? Sometimes you just wanna eat healthy junk food!
All of these vegan options looked so delicious. I will definitely be saving these great restaurants so I can visit them when I come to Japan. Thank you for sharing them all with us!🌱💜
You are so welcome! Let us know how you like them!
OMS you’re back!!
Bring us into more Japanese Gardens and Farms if you can. Soy Sauce Production and Wasabi Farming was amazing to see. Thanks G.
Oh nice suggestion 🎉
My mum will love this eating spots as meat doesn’t do well with her digestive system.
Heading to Osaka and Kyoto next year so hopefully I get to see some videos of those cities as well
Kyoto will definitely have many places where you can enjoy traditional shojin ryori aka Buddhist cuisine that is vegan :)❤
Great video! Shizuka is always so charming and funny!
She absolutely is!
This is a very good video, thank you very much Shizuka. I am not vegan and not vegetarian, but normally dont eat meat (however when I travel, I dont want to limit myself). The first place looks really great ! I am a huge fan of mapo tofu. I am surprised that it is served as a japanese dish, as its from the sichuan province in china.
One of my favorite dishes in Japan, is ramen. One of the best ramen I had was at the little shop/restaurant just outside of teamLab Planets in Tokyo, and it is vegan.
That was delicious 😋 vegan food 🍔 , great video 👍 as always ! Shizuka “❤”
So happy!
Very educational video always! Reporting by Shizuka is so well explained and understood. Look forward to seeing more videos!
More to come!🎉
I see. I'm not the only one who's glad you are back! When I saw someone else present an episode, I began to wonder, what happened? So, I checked to see if there was anything online. Wow! You have serious chops.(credentials). You are so down to earth, I was blown away. 😊
Wow, that’s so sweet of you to say, thank you! I definitely have a lot more to grow!! ❤️
Amazing! Thank you for the video!
Our pleasure!
Love your content.
Shizuka, Love your outfit! Keep being awesome
Aww thank you!! Right back atcha 😉
@@ShizukaAnderson I do my best
Nice to have options!
Indeed!
The number of foods in Tokyo I have went to go try after seeing it here! Those donuts in Shibuya will be NEXT!
Yay! Please let us know how you like them!
Its amazing to see the vibrant food culture in Tokyo while also being mindful of the impact animal agriculture has on the environment and animal welfare - a perfect reminder that even small changes can make a big difference! Im sharing this, come check out some inspiring vegan stories and recipes
Absolutely! ❤
Thanks for doing a vegan segment! Shizuka is ichiban!
Our pleasure!
Welcome back
the maitake mushrooms look glorious!!!! 😍😍
And it tasted glorious too!
Hi Shizuka! Curious- which was your favorite between the vegan karage, fried mushrooms and mabo tofu? It’s always fun watching you on your adventures!!! 😊
Thank you, thank you so much for this!! I would devour that Homer Simpson donut, the dumplings, and the Karaage so fast!! Lol
Same here!
Bold strategy Shi!
I am "venganed out"! Nice once and thank you for this show!👀
Any time!
Looks so good and I'm drooling....
We are too!
😂 just love your laugh 😂
Thanks Shizuka, I found it very hard to find vegetarian food in Japan because of the language barrier. There was usually a helpful local to point me the right way but I found the inn keepers less helpful many times when I wanted to eat with a beer. Great that you are putting this out there, your videos always rock 😊
Glad I could help!
i love her
Coming from a non vegan, that food actually looked pretty good! Also 💯 for the great homer simpson impression!
Glad you liked it!!
The dumplings!!😍😛
Delicious 🎉
I'm not a Vegan but as soon as I seen video by Japan by Food and it's Shizuka, had to watch video.
Thank you for that ❤
Aww thank you so much! 🥹❤️
I hope you guys also make a video about halal food in Japan, because it would be very nice to see the various variations of halal food in Japan, and it would be very helpful for us Muslim travelers who will travel to Japan. ❤😍
Noted! 😍
I just got back from Eid celebration and just in time (3 hours off, though :b :b ) for a new episode with Shizuka-nee. She's back with a COOL JACKET, and this time it's Manager OL work-style :D :D
I love how diverse and creative the vegan dishes are. One could think it's the real thing if not informed about their vegan nature before. Defo in the bucket list to visit there :> :>
Yes, they tasted and looked great! Eid Mubarak!
@@JapanbyFood thankies :D :D
Maybe you can find steak made with Lion’s mane mushrooms (yamabushitake).
Let us look into that 💖
We went to the same izukaya in Shibuya😍it was the best🫶🏽
Oh yaaaay!
Vegetarian rather than vegan here, but one who doesn't have a liking for mock meats. That said, I haven't had a problem in Tokyo bar getting prawns in fried rice on my first trip in 2004. It does mean that it's pretty hard to just walk in off the street without having done at least some research before hand though, so it's nice to see more dedicated vegetarian and vegan places springing up.
That burger just made me crave for a burger myself. Speaking of burgers, I think the best burger I ever had was in Hiroshima. The place is called Cantina23. Anyone who visits Hiroshima should make a reservation and give it a shot!
We wanna try! We visited Hiroshima recently! Such a shame we did not know of this place!
@@JapanbyFood noooo! maybe next time time you guys have a visit!
Try some tonkatsu. Try katsudon. Try ika.
Shizuka's eating is cute
For real!!!!
Would love to see a video about glutenfree options in Tokyo ❤
Great idea!
Shizuka is awesome.
She is!
Saved to list 😊
Vegan for about a decade now. Burger and that Homer impersonation 😆 it does look similar to the Simpson
Yay! Hope you can check them out! And thank youuu hahaha
I would try them all, you never know it might be something you really enjoy.
Exactly! Just like with any cuisine! Gotta have an open mind and try things ❤
Shizukaaaaaaa
I tried Vegan Pizza once, and to my surprise it was actually pretty good, I'm definitely going to try some more often, are tempura veggies Vegan? cause dayumm they are goood when made right
Yummy shizuka
The dumplings!
Soooo tasty!
back to Japan in October !!
so I now know some places I wont visit !!
but ill still watch the video 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Thank you for watching anyway!! 😆❤️
@@ShizukaAnderson
anytime !!
Was about to recommend you guys to make a Vegan-themed adventure, but then this came.. yeayyy!! 🎉
Can I recommend you guys to make a Halal-themed food adventure..? There are a lot of Muslim tourists / students coming to Japan yearly but it's difficult for them to find a Halal food restaurant / cafe.. Hope you guys consider this recommendation 😊
Yay! This is a great idea!! We actually did one on the channel years ago if you want to check it out! (Search “Japan by Food halal” maybe!) but we should definitely do an updated one!! Thanks for the idea ❤️
@@ShizukaAnderson Thank you to you too 😀
Yes! Good to see something vegan on your channel. Crazy monster portions.
Glad you like them!
"Homer Simpson" best part of the video...made my day!
Hehe❤
I embarrass myself 😂😂
O.M.G. You are absolutely right. Classic Simpsons donut. Love the reference.
Hihi😂
Shizuka we want you be happy if you got take a break do that ok I know we been wanting you to host but understand you got a life too much love 🙏🏾❤️🔥
Aww thank you! No breaks over here yet though! Still filming just as much as before 😆❤️
I would like to try Omurice although it didn't look as nice as some of the other dishes. I'm kind of curious what it tastes like.😊
You must try!!!
Thank you for creating vegan content 💚🌱 I look forward to seeing more great vegan food reviews 🙏🏼🪴
Yay! Thank you!
Would love to do more!! ❤️🌿
Shizuka Simpson! Mmmm, doughut...
❤❤❤❤
Please do best hotels with more room space with breakfast in Tokyo thanks for RUclips soon Japan also how to get to the airport etc with the hotel rooms in Tokyo big rooms for two people two sprete beds but more space not small rooms
:O Great ideas!
Vegan food can be delicious… some of my favourites are grilled cauliflower steak and broccoli paired with a good marbled Steak and Malbec
Yummmm! That sounds amazing 😻
Please try all the halal food in Tokyo!! I’d love to some halal Japanese and halal non-Japanese food
We actually did a halal video many years ago! We should do another one since I think one of the places closed down!!
@@ShizukaAnderson I definitely agree!! I went to an amazing halal ramen place in Tokyo called Ramen Ouka and I know there’s so many more options now too
Niceee any mud pies walking through there
Wow wow wow this is the girl on America's Most Wanted
Food looks great! Out of curiosity, how would beer not be vegan? I guess honey in the beer or something like that?
We were kinda asking the same question:D
Vegan Food around Osaka n Kyoto please...Thanks in advance Shizuka❤
Noted!
Yessss would love to do this!!
I have never understood why people so against meat try to make their foods look and taste like meat. Why not just have it look and taste like what it is instead of what its not?
It's to appeal to new vegetarians & vegans, but yes, I honestly don't see the point.
Most people aren’t necessarily against meat but against how it’s killed and prepared. So vegan places still make familiar foods that most of us ate our whole lives.
Yes! As someone who often eats plant-based and cares a lot about animal welfare, it’s nice to still eat foods you grew up loving but with less impact on animals!
I apologize to Shizuka because I lied, she cannot really dislocate her jaw. She has a perfectly normal jaw like everyone else. Also, she only has one small stomach which is why she needs to share her meals with a large portion of the county's population in her visits to the best food locations Japan has to offer.
Some days ago I went to an asian shop. And they sell frozen vegan prawns. Whaaat? Never heard or seen that before. What would they taste like?😊
What would they taste like indeed!! Never heard of such thing!
I'll be there in a few weeks and will try them all! Otherwise being vegan there doesn't look easy.
It can be a challenge but there are more and more options 🎉
I've tried Vegan burgers and they're very good.
Yes they are!
Nice vegan video. I would like to try it although I'm not a vegan nor a meat lover. I can't eat any red meat 😵💫 (food or products)
Oh no! Well Japan has much more to offer even for people with dietary restrictions!❤
Shizuka is certified beautiful and fun.
Yes, she is!
Meat lover here but loved this video😊
We do love meat but it is good to change it up once in a while!
I am a meat lover too, but I started to add 2 days per week meat-free in my diet.
This Vegan episode is Sweet, More Plant Power!
Yay yay!!!🎉
yeah fasting is fermentation
13:02
Whatever nerve in my brain that controls cuteness is now permanently fried and irreparably damaged
😂😂😂
My favorite prettiest girl food vloger 😅
Mine too! 😄
I'm surprised that Vegan-Karaage perfectly looks like Chicken-Karaage!
I am not a big fan of this QR code ordering system. I prefer to order directly from the staff.
Easier than going to Koyasan
:D That is for sure!
I am not vegan. I have had meatless products before. I really love real meat. Nevertheless another great video with my favorite kannajo
We do love meat too! But it is fun to try different things that can be good for you❤
Shizuka-chan is such a trooper, making the sacrifice to go eat foods without meat. And her reactions are so believable too! "It's delicious!" Good one. ;)
Love 💞💞💞💋💋💋💋💋💋
:o
I'm not a true vegan I eat steak and the cow eats grass .all kidding aside I enjoy your videos. I don't think I missed one.
We appreciate that so much!
No booze? Heck
Vegan beer!!!!
I find this obsession with everything vegan very annoying, especially in the US and Europe. BUT Japan seems to be doing it great, even better than the USA! They do grab iconic dishes and make them even better! I wouldn’t mind trying Japanese vegan food because I know it will be good!
