I was thinking in my head "I love that Japanese pick their English accent", but then she brings up Melbourne! Totally knew it was an Australian accent. As someone learning Japanese, I love your channel, because it offers a good mix of English and Japanese. Not to mention FOOD!
I love you guys together! Shizuka got that ESFJ poppy & excited side, but Stephanie has that ESFP swag & smooth criminal vibe that just fits each other so well *chefs kiss* 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
Soon as I heard Stephany talk I knew she has an Aussie accent!!!! 👍🏻 I love a whiskey never really got into Gin the honey and blue vein cheese looked so good!!!!! 😊
i tried some craft gin while visiting sapporo last autumn. it totally blew me away, made roku gin taste like bathwater. i lived in japan for 11 years awhile ago before craft alcohol became a thing anywhere. i never got into sake then and shochu was just a cheap blast mix. for clear spirits i like a nice vodka tonic, not a gin guy, but i was sipping this craft gin neat. sadly i don’t recall the bottle. hokkaido blueberry paired with okinawa shikwasa would be excellent taste combination, bookending the two furthest points of japan. japanese craft gin kinda makes sense as riffing off the nation’s two classic clear spirits, sake and shochu. excellent introduction to a breathtaking new horizon of spirits.
I always enjoy your videos, would your PLEASE visit one of the owl cafes that I have recently discovered online, I would love to see your take on them, I think it would be a very fun video.
Thanks for the cool video about Japanese gin Shizuka! Stephanie was a great cohost, and I liked her nails! Just wondering if she is from Australia? Matane!
All that original gin making made Shizuka blush in the cheeks and forehead towards the end of the video while her guest Stephanie was flashing only on her left side. Perhaps their charming English-speaking host also had a small part in causing that reaction which is perfectly understandable ;).
Looks like fun, but I’d really like to see an episode on how Japanese Whisky differs from Scotch, and what makes Japanese labels unique and Japanese. Now separate question - what’s with Stephanie’s nails - they look sharpened and extremely weapon-like. Are those things street-legal?
@@JapanbyFood Glad to know that Stephanie is prepared. Ok - two more suggestions: First, the Shōgun re-make premieres tonight (it’s streaming already), and it’s being called a masterpiece. It’s going to be very popular. A series of episodes showing food related locations from the series would be terrific. Second, baseball season is starting. Would love to see an episode or a series of episodes on different goods at different ballparks, and how they all differ from American ballpark food. Given the Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s recent high profile signings and the related interest in Japanese baseball, I’ll bet that episodes about this would be very popular. Love the channel, and think that Shizuka is terrific!
Love how down to earth and how relatable Shizuka is. Always has a great presence with all the locals.
Thank you so much! 🥹❤️
I absolutely love the lightheartedness of these videos, Shizuka & Stephanie are awesome! :)
Glad you like them!
Shizuka's three year bender continues 😂
Going strong!

Awesomeness double the bubbliness with 2 amazing hosts :)
Yay yay!
The ultimate collab!!! Watching your videos is convincing me to visit Japan in April.
The best time to visit!
Great episode, 2 fantastic hosts, and an incredible journey into the world of gin. Yes I’m a big fan of a good gin.
Glad you liked it!
Great video with great hosts!! Japan by Food deserves more attention!
Thank you for saying that!
Awesome 2 for 1. You 2 gel so well together that I may have to start drinking gin 😊😊😊😊 Joe M
For real, they are both so great!
5:00 Yet another Portland / Japan connection. There's a place in Tokyo called PDX Taproom.
Super cool!
Had to watch this since Stephanie has joined the by Food team. The dynamic duo of Shizuka and Stephanie!
Stephanie, I ❤ your nails.
For real! That midnight blue is amazing!
On point!
I love you guys together! Shizuka got that ESFJ poppy & excited side, but Stephanie has that ESFP swag & smooth criminal vibe that just fits each other so well *chefs kiss* 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
Very close!
Very close, huh? Which parts did I miss? 🙃 @@JapanbyFood
How beautiful the snowy landscape in Japan is always amazes me.❤
Absolutely stunning!
Ooh gin, love it. Looks like you both had fun time Shizuka.

Nothin' better than getting drunk in Japan with Shizuka!
We agree!
So awesome that you guys got to create your own Gin drink!

Blue cheese & honey?
Interesting.
Keep up the great work!
We would really love to!
Looking forward to it!@@JapanbyFood
Fun episode. Thank you for sharing. Keep smiling :)
Thank you! Will do!
Shizuka: This three year bender is getting out of hand. I need a beer to wind down from the gin and rethink what cocktail to introduce next.
Can't stop now!
Great video
Wow! So much beauty in one video! I'm not a big fan of gin but I'll be honest, this looked really good.
Thank you for watching!
when the guest said she was an influencer, I lost it, lmao; theres people that actually believe theyre that and thats sad... side note, good episode.
Soon as I heard Stephany talk I knew she has an Aussie accent!!!! 👍🏻
I love a whiskey never really got into Gin the honey and blue vein cheese looked so good!!!!! 😊
It was such a pleasure working with her!
This was great!
Thanks a lot!

You have had some wonderful experience!
Shizukaaaaaaa
looks like fun, gin and honey looks yummy 🍺 love the heart 💙
It was!
❤❤❤ I love Dirty Gin Martini. I've never had it with Japanese Gin but I will now.
Please try!
OMS, you’re back!!
always here! O:)
I always enjoy your videos, would your PLEASE visit one of the owl cafes that I have recently discovered online, I would love to see your take on them, I think it would be a very fun video.
I would not have left without a couple bottles!
Same!
Your always living the dream
True!
For merch they should make a shirt with Shizuka saying "Sugoi !!!"
On it!
Beautiful 😍❤️😻🤩❣️💗🥰
Thank you!
As always a great vlog with Shizuka
By food brewery and various distilleries coming soon ?
Ohhhh that would be great!
Water is tasteless
Arrowhead: hold my bottle
Thanks for the cool video about Japanese gin Shizuka! Stephanie was a great cohost, and I liked her nails! Just wondering if she is from Australia? Matane!
As an Aussie YES!! 😊
@@nelsonhu3926 nice!👍
What do they use to make their neutral spirit? Potato, wheat? Those concrete ageing tanks are used in Georgian winemaking.
We gotta double check with them!
Soo when are we officially opening a place called S2 Bakery, where you can have Gin and desert?
Hmmmm, we gotta make that happen!
Thanks for the two for one video two beautiful women drinking gin.
We will! Thanks a lot!
how... how to be as happy as the hosts 24/7? Is gin the answer?
Maybe:P
Wait you have a store? How did I not see that!
We do!
👍
The best crossover doesn't exi.....
You are welcome! :P
All that original gin making made Shizuka blush in the cheeks and forehead towards the end of the video while her guest Stephanie was flashing only on her left side. Perhaps their charming English-speaking host also had a small part in causing that reaction which is perfectly understandable ;).
Who knows what they were talking about! :P
@@JapanbyFood The weather perhaps?
Never had cheese with honey before, gotta try that.
It is the best!
@@JapanbyFood GREAT. WILL TRY IT TODAY.
Man, it looks cold there
Just a bit:)
Finally first to view!!!
Congrats!
Love you from India 🎉
Thank you so much!
@@JapanbyFood welcome I am big fan
Very good video, I really enjoyed it. Does Stephanie have a youtube channel?
I'm looking forward to the next video.
We added her socials in the description:)
I don't know what's more distracting: 2 beautiful hosts, or the great white scenery I miss so much....
All of it!
🎉
yay!
🥰
Looks like fun, but I’d really like to see an episode on how Japanese Whisky differs from Scotch, and what makes Japanese labels unique and Japanese.
Now separate question - what’s with Stephanie’s nails - they look sharpened and extremely weapon-like. Are those things street-legal?
Thank you for your suggestions!
(Stephanie is ready to fight with those fabulous nails!)
