I’m so impressed with what you have created after being one of the best cohost Will had , your doing amazing well… 5 years here and I’m more comfortable at a cocktail bar with mature clients , plus they tend to be government high paid English speaking, mind you that just might be cause all the good cocktail bars are near the government building here in Tochigi lo😂
We need more of these lessons of dinning out in Japan, Just this video alone I made a cheat card on what to say and what to listen for. When I take a trip to Japan this will help a lot. Keep up the great work
I have been living in Osaka for five years now. This video would have helped me a lot five years ago, so I', so glad to see there's a video that's so easy to understand (and dear to heart to a 呑兵衛 like me), Thank you! Keep up the good work!
@@JapanbyFood I would like situations where you are shopping/buying food and the owner doesn't speak English. What is a good way to interact with out offending.
This is my all time favorite episode. What a great way to learn and build confidence, plus avoiding the dreaded chopsticks stabbing of the food. Thanks for this great opportunity
Tip: When you pull the chopsticks apart hold them horizontal and pull up and down instead of side to side. If you are sitting close to a person next to you, you won't accidentally hit them if you pull apart too hard. Great video!
My wife and I always love a new episode of Japan by Food. They are always positive, upbeat, and enjoyable to watch (keep up the good work). I will say, I feel we are overdue for a surprise guest return from The Man, The Myth, The Legend, Mr. Kyle Card!
I absolutely love❤ this! the teachings of it all....its the best I've seen by Japan by food by far 😊🙏 long time follower and can't wait to see more..thank you itadakimasa 🙏
Shizuka with another banger of a video. Especially with introducing these language phrases to say at any restaurant. Will definitely make a Japan visit so much more enjoyable when you’re able to engage w the staff.
Nicely presented video. These are all the words/phrases I've tried to memorise for my current 1st trip to Japan. The main problem I have is remembering the correct phrase at the time, when the conversation seems to be going 10 times faster than i can keep up.. Being a solo traveller I can definitely say, old mate in the video has it easy with someone along side who is fluent and can help out!
I lived in Japan for a few years, just a few comments. 1. The majority of the native Japanese speakers I know pronounce Izakaya with the emphasis on the second syllable "iZAkaya" or a flat pronunciation. It sounds very American when you say it as "izaKAya" 2. When the person at the front of the restaurant asked how many people with "何名様ですか" It's actually strange sounding to reply with the same very polite counter, It sounds more natural to use "2人です" (Futari desu)
Amazing video! We were in Japan in October (my 2nd time in Japan but my wife's first time) We had so much fun in Izakaya's it's a great place to make local friends, especially if you speak a little of the language, many of nights we had were in Izakaya's drinking with locals and making new friends ( and social media is a great way to stay in touch) we tried to go using no English but some times the menus were hard to read so translator app helped ;) but use with caution sometimes it isn't 100% I had ordered what the translator said was wasabi pickles but it ended up being pickled wasabi and that was fire to eat 🥵
Excuse Me is great, I wasn't sure how to say it because I thought I heard some people say it differently, now I know and will use it when the time comes, Arigato Gozaimasu
Love the food varieties at Izakayas .. I just say Biru Ichi Highball Ichi Arigato Gozaimasu.. I do realize some places not so comfortable accepting tips but when say i I buy drink for the staff they seem more ok with it
Love this video. Great way to work on my Japanese skills and I learn some knew restaurant/izakaya etiquettes. Can you also do other types of Japan tutorials such as public transportation/ other dos and donts videos?
Good Day Shizzy. I'm always fascinated by how crowded these little places get. I would love to do a bar crawl with you. Even though I don't drink 🍻😂. As always You Are A Delight. Have a Blessed and Beautiful Day 🇺🇸✝️🇯🇵🥀😘
Excellent video! When we went over, we went with futari when we asked for a table (we did a four month language course before going... Very very broken Japanese lol), but will use Ni-mei next time. Would love to see more skits in the series. Such a fun and practice way to learn. Maybe public transport next time?
The first time I sat at a horigotatsu, I didn't know it was a horigotatsu. I just sat Indian-style, legs crossed, unaware that I was at the precipice. It is a perplexing design. It made me wonder if horigotatsu were much larger in the past and there would be a fire at the center to keep feet warm in the winter.
It was interesting to learn about 二名「にめい」as I had been taught pretty much only the use of 二人「ふたり」. Also nice to learn about the hand gesture to complement asking お会計お願いします。
My mistake was asking for the "bill" (instead of "check"). And I got a "biru" (beer) instead. Happy mistake! My wife says I keep making that mistake! She says it was on purpose!
I like your positive attitude! Seems like you're having fun, and I know it's unintentional, but a bit of overacting makes it feel a little cringey like talking down to a child. 'Okay kids, now this is how you say thank you, can you say thaaank youuu.'
What? More drinking? Hmmm.... There seems to be a pattern. Shizuka likes to PARTAY! Although I feel like we're just chasing the views from the "We get Drunk" video 😅 Love the content! Great acting, too
Hi pretty lady, excellent tips and I definitely learned some new words. The stabbing food with chopsticks is a huge insult to the chef that prepared the food because it means the food is only good for a dead person.
Wait…. Tony steps off of a plane in Japan for the first time and immediately meets Shizuka while I’ve been to Japan many times and never see her!??! Life isn’t fair.

I ❤ these situational Japanese lessons. Please continue making them!
A barber shop (cut, shave, etc) and a hair salon video would be wonderful.
Thank you!! What kind of Japanese lessons would you like to see next?

Going to shop at an outdoor market or store!

LOL...had to give you a like just for NIU
I love how the words are spelled out it makes it easier to learn
居酒屋での振る舞い方の完璧な教科書みたいですね。これは素晴らしい！お会計を頼む時に両手の人差し指でx印を作るのは私は今まで一度もやったことないですけどね。
Shizuka in her natural element, the Izakaya :) 10/10 awesomeness as per usual.
Extra points for today's video so that makes 12/10.
@@richardcooper aww thank you!
Shoutout to the videography on this - it looks gorgeous!
Another really great, informative, and educational, and always fun episode!

Such a wonderful way to explain the culture and to learn Japanese. I like that the words was spelled out and well pronounced.
Love this format. Great video, useful information.
That wink at the end ,,,,more fun indeed. lol. awesome..
Such great quality video! Missing Japan more and more with each video!

one of your best videos Shizuka, so informatif, I liked it very very much !!!!!!
Love the tips, thank you so much! Good teacher and what a great sport Toni!
This, this is what I have needed. Tips on customs and language. Time to take some notes. Thank you.
I love watching the adventure!😊
Shizuka, your videos are so good! ❤

Lucky guy, Shizuka is taking him out! ❤🥹
Great video Shizuka! I didn't know in Japan you should kanpai with strangers. I learned something new! Thank you again Shizuka!
What a brilliant idea for a themed series, hope you make more of this type of content.
Thanks for watching! We're glad you enjoyed it! 🌸

Great video! Such awesome tips and info. I already feel more confident for when I visit Japan myself! I hope i do as well as Toni did. He nailed it!
I've just watched "Talentless Takano" on Netflix and wow! What a surprise! 😍
Same. Episode 8 has Shizuka Anderson as a character who is part of an identity mix up.
@@YokoNatachnon haha wow!! So cool that you came across me! 😆
Great tips!!!
Love the video ❤ please more videos like this 😊
Excuse Me is great, I wasn't sure how to say it because I thought I heard some people say it differently, now I know and will use it when the time comes, Arigato Gozaimasu
Shizzy's moustache socks are awesome!!! 😊
Cute video for beginners.
This is an amazing video thanks for do it
Love the food varieties at Izakayas .. I just say Biru Ichi Highball Ichi Arigato Gozaimasu.. I do realize some places not so comfortable accepting tips but when say i I buy drink for the staff they seem more ok with it
We agree! That is a great alternative to tipping at some izakayas and bars!
I love Japan 🇯🇵 and missed it so much. Kampai 🍻
Great video lesson..
It helps a lot.. Thanks!!..
Suscribed..
Kanpai!!..
🍺🐱🍺🐱🍻
Perfect guest. Dude looked like he got kidnapped and forced to tour izakaya places
🤣
Hahahaha 😂
😹😹😹😹😹
Yay!!! New JBF video!!! 😍🖤🥰🍻🍺🥂
im planning a trip to tokyo this coming year, this is exactly what i needed thank you!
Love this video. Great way to work on my Japanese skills and I learn some knew restaurant/izakaya etiquettes. Can you also do other types of Japan tutorials such as public transportation/ other dos and donts videos?
Super useful tips! Will give it a try and hopefully I don’t fumble.

Thanks for watching! We'll keep the skits coming 🫡
I lived in Japan for 3 years & I have never used "mei" as a counter for myself, it sounds a bit odd. I only used "Futari" - so you're totally okay 👍
@@utada_boy Good to know, thank you 😁
Love Izakaya feel like home in Japan
Knowing how to count how many things helps a lot too. So hitotsu for 1 futatsu for 2 mittsu for 3 etc.
You guys are the best!
Thanks for watching!

another reason to go day drinking on a monday 😂
PS i love Shizuka 😍
Thanks, pretty good basic tips!
Thank you for the advice.
Cool video and I thought Tony was great playing Rooster in Top Gun Maverick.
It was interesting to learn about 二名「にめい」as I had been taught pretty much only the use of 二人「ふたり」. Also nice to learn about the hand gesture to complement asking お会計お願いします。
Sapporo beer is my favorite beer! Asahii is just ok.
Video quality improved tremendously on this episode
Thank you 🥰
American waiter once they saw the tips they will chase you: excuse me? You're being rude to tip so little 😂
Love you Shizuka❤😊
You are the BEST!
This dude💥💥💯💯
Thank you very much.
❤ this keep teaching me 😅
I need Shizzy to take me around and teach me properly 🖤
Best part... Shizuka-san wears Hoka's 🤣
Just saw you in Talentless Takano! Nice!
I miss Ameyoko Area! 🥹
I just saw shizuka doing cameo on Talentless Takano😅😂🥰
YOU GO GIRL....kanpai .....
My mistake was asking for the "bill" (instead of "check"). And I got a "biru" (beer) instead. Happy mistake! My wife says I keep making that mistake! She says it was on purpose!
居酒屋の取扱説明書としてグッド！
When do you use futari vice ni-nin?
Show us how to fly fishing in Japan as well
More language vids. please.
What better way to learn a language than to associate it with food and friends!!!
Well noted! What would you like to see next??
Do people ever go Solo to an izakaya? Drinking solo is that normal at izakaya?
I like your positive attitude! Seems like you're having fun, and I know it's unintentional, but a bit of overacting makes it feel a little cringey like talking down to a child. 'Okay kids, now this is how you say thank you, can you say thaaank youuu.'
What? More drinking? Hmmm....
There seems to be a pattern. Shizuka likes to PARTAY!
Although I feel like we're just chasing the views from the "We get Drunk" video 😅
Love the content! Great acting, too
It's the last one this year, we promise 😅
@ awwww but Christmas and new years are the best time for Shochu!
He a natural
Hi pretty lady, excellent tips and I definitely learned some new words. The stabbing food with chopsticks is a huge insult to the chef that prepared the food because it means the food is only good for a dead person.
I think you need to open a Shizzykaya
No tipping! America, are you watching?
Watching and laughing at the same time
The thumbnail img with the girl hand gesture of a cross sign means we would like the check please.
Wait…. Tony steps off of a plane in Japan for the first time and immediately meets Shizuka while I’ve been to Japan many times and never see her!??! Life isn’t fair.
Out of curiosity, where is Toni from?
Getting some German/Austrian vibes 😊
You should make a cheat sheet or crib notes you can download
perfectly bilingualed, cheerful mil dollars smile,Beautiful culture; can't go wrong !🌹
I like the acting 😂😅
I didn’t know about crossing your fingers for the bill
I'm Japanese and I didn't know that either lol
His acting was bad but we got the point lol.. informative and great vid.
I got it, you'll die from hunger in Japan, because you have to follow all those rules. 😁
the duolingo owl is gonna flip
😂😂😂
I heard izakayas are struggling to stay in business. Great times for tourists, tough times for the locals in Japan.
"Each store was filmed on a different day while we wore the same clothes".😂
❤❤❤❤
Sumimasen! Beeru kudasai!
Nothing greater than drinking beer at the afternoon and watching booze by Japan 😂😬😋
