I really like the added educational aspect. Seeing someone with basic Japanese skills trying their best, and the reassuring way everyone responds to her efforts, is encouraging. I admire Stephanie for that, and will use this as inspiration.
Japanese people are very understanding and helpful when when you don't speak their language 💕
It's so wonderful to now have the "tourist" experience with Stephanie and the "local" experience with Shizuka. Nice work!
Stephanie did a great job. But her nails would have scared me. They look as sharp as knives.
It's nice how politely she asked for help. People also seemed to enjoy supporting her 😊
Stephanie did a great job! I appreciate the similarities and differences between her and Shizuka, and I think it was a great decision to add another host.
This video was truly a great experience showing what it would be really like as a tourist in japan trying to get around!
Yay! Glad you think so!
Great job Stephanie. Feeling more confident in visiting Japan with basic Japanese speaking skills. Can’t wait to try all the fantastic cuisine on my next trip.
Great job Stephanie! I thought it was adorable how nervous she was approaching strangers, yet she’s very confident on camera. I look forward to more of her perspective in future videos. Dine like a local
She did such an amazing job!
You make "dine like a local" absolutely lovely to watch. Thank you.
Shizuka and Stephanie are both wonderful to watch - hopefully they can film together in the future!
They for sure will!
Dine like a local! Wowow I really enjoyed Stephanie’s energy and the little Japanese lesson! Keep it up ❤
Thank you! 😃
I love how you ask, learn, and do you Steph. Keep being awesome
You too!

honestly such a great video. looking forward to visiting japan, mostly to eat, and this will help a lot!
I'm Canadian born Japanese like Shizuka. I think you did a good job. I have very basic phrases I understand when I'm visiting Japan.
Hello Stephanie 🤗 I’m happy to see you here on Japan by Food. Thanks for showing us around Japan. All the food looks so delicious and I hope to visit Japan someday.
First time in Japan soon and this is very helpful! Stephanie was great.

Dine like a local! I really enjoyed this video with Stephanie! She made me feel less anxiety foe my trip to Japan as a foreigner with very minimal Japanese. Very helpful!
That was a great first episode Stephanie. Hope to see more great content from your team. I will try these great suggestions while I’m in Japan for the next couple of weeks. 😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video. I love the language lesson too. Super helpful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you for making this video! I loved following you with your apologetically but determined beginner level japanese. XD Your japanese is more advance than mine, but I didn't feel intimidated and you gave me confidence to explore Japan on my own one day. thank you again for sharing! dine like a local.
Well done, Stephanie! You took on the challenge of asking locals and you never gave up. Congrats! Looking forward to more of your recommendations in future videos. Btw, love the Australian accent. It's so cool!

Great job Stephanie! おつかれさま！
Dine like a local ❤
Great job, Stephanie! We are visiting Japan in August and will do our best to order food with the minimal Japanese we know too!
You will do great!!!
Dine like a local! Thank you for inspiration for our upcoming trip 😊
I think this is a really good guide with the inclusion of words that are good to understand how to use and a good overall demonstration on how to navigate with limited Japanese.
One thing I've noticed though is that Stephanie actually understands far more Japanese than she speaks
Usually listening skills are better than the speaking skills TT
Stephanie, you did a great job indeed :) Great solo effort and we need to see more of you on Japan by Food, one of my favourite channels on TH-cam.
More to come! Thank you for your kind words!
Dine like a local! So cool to see Stefatty becoming a TH-cam legend!
I love all the "어머!!" :) This was such a good video to take away any intimidation about ordering food in Japan. Thank you!

The food looked soo good! Definitely going to try those recommendations next time we go to Japan! I’d love to dine like a local 🤍
Please do!
Hi Stephanie, congratulations and welcome to your new gig at JBF. This series will be good for anyone who’s a little apprehensive about exploring all the little nooks and crannies of Japan because they think their language skills won’t allow them to. Well done.
Thank you! We hope so!!
Dine like a local. This was similar to my experience visiting Japan a few months ago. I knew very basic phrases but the Japanese people never made me feel uncomfortable and were amazing hosts. I’ll definitely be back.
So awesome! Glad you had a good experience!
Great job!
Dine like a local!! Great video! Well done Stephanie! Hope to visit some of these places in the future!

Amazing job Stephanie! This was super helpful! Your nervousness was so cute in the best way possible and very relatable. My husband and I will be visiting Japan for the first time in October for our 6 year wedding anniversary so all your suggestions were fantastic, and relieving to know I won’t be the only one who is nervous to interact with locals. Thank you again!
So glad to hear that! Please don't be afraid to approach them, Japanese people are super helpful and friendly! 💕
Thank you ❤

We agree!
Great Job Stephanie!!! I do appreciate the lack of Japanese language and the struggle communicating. I know it is nerve wracking but I think it shows the vulnerability of the show and host. I love it! Good luck on your future episodes and I can't wait to see the next one. Dine like a local.

Stephanie works well here so far. The language issue hopefully will work itself out eventually, and people will find ways to share their thoughts.
