Take a hike with Shizuka through Wakayama's ancient pilgrimage trail, the Kumano Kodo. Through the misty mountains and ancient trees, Shizuka explores the hidden restaurants along the way.
Her journey leads to a restaurant made entirely of wood, blending into the forest, where she samples 100% buckwheat noodles. At another restaurant, Shizuka tries a rice bowl featuring fresh deer. Finally, she ends the food tour on a sweet note with hot springs coffee and a gooey-chewy treat. With weary and rain-soaked feet, Shizuka makes it to the trail's end and visits Kumano Hongu Taisha.
FEATURED FOODS:
Soba: A Japanese noodle made from buckwheat
Tempura: deep-fried assortment of mountain vegetables
Shika don: A rice bowl with deer and a raw egg yolk
Local vegetable soup: made from vegetables found in the mountains
Chuka chimaki: a sticky rice ball warped n bamboo
Hot spring coffee: coffee made inside a hot spring
Kinako mochi: chewy mochi served in a soup with kinako (soybean powder)

Which restaurant did you like the most?
The soba restraunt was cool, I like the tempura. 😊
2nd place deer meat was the best after a long days hike! also surprised my photo still there 懐かしい :)
The soba place looks very quaint and lovely.
I really enjoy the way Shizuka-san presents/hosts. It's upbeat and enthusiastic but not too much and she's still honest about the flavor of the foods she tries but never comes across as picky or rude. She's casual but still with manners and style. A lot of other food presenters can really learn from her. She's always pleasant to watch and listen to.
Thank you for your kind words!
100% 👍
I loved the energy of the former forester who is now a chef.
Yes! He was super cool 🤩
You can feel how passionate he is when he was talking about the building.
Asian people are really the best!😄❤️
Beautiful hike - and yes, misty and mysterious! I also spent a couple of days in the rain from Takahara to Chikatsuyu then Hosshinmon-oji to Kumano Hongu Taisha!
It is sooo mystical there! we love it!
I love the scenic view of the place. So nostalgic.
Very beautiful place indeed!
OMG I love this episode!!!! I love anything about pilgrimage trails in Japan!! And to top it off with food is just oh my...Thank you for this!!

I have always wanted to know more about Kumano Kodo. This tour you are taking us through is awesome, Shizuka! The food looks great and the scenery is awesome! Thank you Japan By Food! Ultra Respect!
We hope you get to walk it one day!
That soba dish and deer dish looked amazing.

To be honest I'll go to all of them for the scenery and food looks so peaceful
Wow I love your channel
Incredibly beautiful scenery and locations! The rainy weather gave the forest a magical atmosphere. Great photography, too! I like how all the restaurants, cafes, and temples were so well integrated into the surrounding nature. These are the kind of places I really like seeing in Japan. Thanks for showing us!
Many thanks!

Thank you so much! We appreciate it sooo much!

Such a lovely video. I’m a big Shizuka fan (fo shizzy my neezy) but if I hear historical again as an adjective….It’s historic. 😵💫
Amazing! We are glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video
Thank you so much!
Beautiful scenery!
Yes, very peaceful too!
Fresh buckwheat with the fresh wasabi!!!!! 👍🏻💚
Also liked the first guys friendly energy too!!!!
It was such an interesting location! 😍
I like your videos, especially that you inform first about the area and place where you are before you actually go to the restaurant. It makes it more interesting to watch. Also the video is well edited.
Glad you like it!
This channel shows a lot of places in Japan to visit. Thank you!
We hope we can show you all the amazing places!
Terrific as always Shizuka

It really was!!!
Yes to everything in this episode from the food, the locations , and of course the host. I’d love to go on a tour incorporating good food and pilgrimage
We are so glad to hear that!
Great 👍 video
Thanks a lot for watching!
Imagine travelling to different countries and see innovations of Japanese food to suit the countries taste. But do this once in awhile, only when it's the host's convenience.
Great video as always! JapanByFood thanks for your work. ❤👍
Thank you for your support!
Great looking dishes. It does appear to be a tough hike, going uphill.
The hike is definitely not an easy one but people usually spend a couple of days walking the kumano Kodo ☺️
Great video! The quality is so perfect! You are amazing!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
We are so happy to hear that!
Love these type of places.
We do too!
Really love the new video length of JapanByFood's recent uploads which is like more of a must watch mini travel documentary! 😍 #CantGetEnoughEverytime
We are glad to hear that!
Great video. Deserve a lot more views. Keep up the good work!
Much appreciated!

Thank you so much!
Great episode, looks professional. 👍
Shiz san is so sweet!
Nice video good 👍👍
The 中華ちまき is called a zongzi (粽子) in Chinese and is traditionally eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Yes, exactly! :)
Great video. I have not had soba noodles in sometime I need to try them again. I will stop by my Asian market and pick some up
That’s a great idea!!!
Shizukaaaaaaa
Kumano kodo maybe religious place in sense but it is a place where you feel the “presence” where Japanese describe as gods.

Glad you liked it!
You need Vessi tennis shoes! They are waterproof.
Damn, wish I had known about these food options when I walked the Nakahechi. I'd do it again just for the food.😅
Cool
i love Shizuka 😍
3:54 That wasabi is worth well over $50
Good
Thanks!
wish you talked about price points with each meal. Also, do all these places have english menus?
Thank you for the feedback! We will take it into account for our future videos.
Are you guys using some kind of filter? The colors look muted. The last couple of episodes look somewhat off to me.
Why the seller in the first shop whistle with shell before you left? Any culture about it?
It is like his ritual he does whenever the customers leave his restaurant :)
Im a onirigi "tsuma"...haha
Looks good but we may eat a horse afterwards. My son said !😮
the place is still old.
