Asaba Ryokan is located in Izu, Shuzenji, and has a 500 year history. I stayed 1 night, but this was definitely the highlight of my trip to Japan. This is one of the best Onsen in Japan

It's been a lifelong dream to visit Japan, I hope someday I can visit and on multiple occasions throughout my life, I love everything about their culture, the language, the food, and of course the people!!
I feel the same!
Mike when tasting anything delicious:
It has such a great umami flavor.
Wow this ryokan is legit. I am a local, but this vid blew my mind. Shirako as a starter is probably decadent enough, but man, then Ku-e? This is a catch so rare that goes onto the market and you would be extremely lucky to find a restaurant that can source this in the first place. Not to mention it’s REALLY expensive. Then there is the female Snow Crab. This is what we call Kobako Gani, which loosely translates to “crab jewelry box”. Because of the effort, time and skill of the chef that is required to prepare this dish, we only use this technique for the very best crabs sourced from the Sea of Japan. And this is one of the finest examples. I actually would not recommend you to try this dish, simply because it is SUPER expensive.
There are a lot of Kaiseki restaurants in Japan where they show you a fancy looking/sounding menu, but actually don’t use much of the expensive ingredients. It’s not just the tourists, but we locals often fall into that trap as well. And that’s why I am saying that this ryokan stands out for me. Thanks to Mikey for showing us the best of Japan.
thank you so much for giving us this added information on a spectacular food culture. Hugely appreciated~I'm half way through wondering when Mikey gets hungry again tho!!!!!
Thank you for the insight.
In regards to the Ryokan I think it is also on the pretty expensive side. I checked and the cheapest room was about $500 per night for two. With the more expensive ones going for over a thousand.
I have never been to Japan (yet!) but I'd guess that this is already one of the more expensive options. What do you think?
@@TheCraftinator san
Yes, I would say this is definitely high end. Here in Japan, these ryokan’s are meant to be a once in a lifetime experience. I’ve personally never been to one of these places. Sure, I have had opportunities to stay at some moderate establishments, but most of them lacked substance. Having said that, some of the new onsen=hot spring ryokans offers great meals and super ambience. Research is key. Guide books tend to stick with places where they have a long history, but that doesn’t exactly translate to good value for money. Nevertheless, if you have cash to burn a hole in your pocket, Mikey’s choice is an absolute winner.
@@TheCraftinator i checked and some rooms are up to 2k usd, may depend a lot on the dates too. I spent a night on a Ryokan in Kioto in October and it was like 350 usd, amazing place and food, but not near as high end as this. Still was an amazing experience.
@@TheCraftinator I live in resort town of Mexico and 1 room will easily cost over$500 per night, without food and you have to pay extra for expensive mediocre food which ends up way more than ryokans. My husband (Mexican) fell in love with ryokan culture when first visited Japan and he said its well worth the money, compare to what he is used to in fancy resorts around the world.
The pine needle on the coaster is a perfect reprentation of japanese mindset. Minimal yet so efficient haha
Lesser known? From a foreign tourist perspective, may be yes. But for us Japanese nationals, Shuzenji is one of our top places we would want to go. And this ryokan is definitely high end!
I'm a tourist and I've heard of the place. It's true though that most tourists won't have heard of it unless they're interested in onsens. Would love to stay where Mike did, but it's above my price bracket. One day.
Most of his viewers aren’t Japanese nationals
@@peko7446 san
Same here actually.
Thought the same!
Thank you for commenting sonny
The pine needle blow my mind, so much atention to the detail, i love japanese culture.
Wouldn't mind to wake up to that pleasant waterfall and pond everyday. Food looked amazing. Some people idolatrize Japan for its futuristic cyberpunk style cities. I idolatrize Japan for this and how these places work in perfect communion with nature. Thanks for the video, Mike.
I am Japanese. 🇯🇵😊I want people all over the world to know more about Japanese food and culture.👍🎍🍱
Oh, wow, that hotel is really beautiful! The pond, the waterfall, and the food is so breathtaking! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
literally refreshed your page just to know theres a video to watch and there is! thakns for always keeping me company when i eat alone after work Mike!
Back to reality,
That says everything.
Ryokan always leads you to another world.
What wonderful food culture! Japanese food is Perfectly Elegantly . I would love to visit Japan & enjoy the food culture:)
Video starts at 2:06
Absolutely amazing video man. I was in awe the whole time.
Squid sashimi might be my favourite sushi style dish. As a typical westerner, I was not keen on trying raw squid but once I did, I didn’t want the plate to end. Goes to show that sometimes trying something new can be extremely rewarding. Since then I have tried lot of things that I thought were disgusting. What’s the worst that could happen?!? It’s not going to kill me. I might have to chase it down with a sip of my drink, but at least I’ve tried it.
3:25 that place is beautiful 😻 with a waterfall and koi pond
Word of the day: ‘Snappy’….I love when you learn new words! Drink!
Absolutely stunning. And those shitakes looked amazing, I didn't even recognize them at first thinking they were some kind of bun because they looked too perfect.
Your videos have helped me introduce my family to foreign flavours!!
We are from South Africa, obit even having KBBQ would be seen as different or strange😢
Your reviews on the different foods and ingredients has helped expand my family’s food culture
Beautiful scenery and the food looks amazing.
Your video makes me miss Japan so much!
Pronunciation is neegata
Chickeny?LOL...😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Amazing!!! A Definate must do!!
Thank You Mikey!
I'd just be sitting down on the dock watching the koi most of the time I think. What a beautiful spot.
Once again everything looks yummy😋
So, green ume is a Japanese green plum. Fairly sweet and refreshingly tart in it's fruit form, I imagine the juice is even more enjoyable!
Love the taste of ume! It's unique in the best way...
TY for your awesome review of the area and meals ! I can’t travel but thanks to you , I get to pretend I have enjoyed it with you
Same. Can’t travel anymore either and am living vicariously through people like Mikey.
So nice to see a video where we get to see the sites with you. Beautiful location
Miss those.
That dinner looked amazing but I really want that breakfast.
Great video Mikey. Watching from Trinidad and Tobago. Nice content
Mmm this fish is snappy. This eel is snappy. This chicken is snappy. This pudding is snappy.
That food looks great
My mouth watering the whole time...Mahalo's for this awesome post bro!
For the first time i think ever i wish i was a famous food critic. Lolo what an expirience. Love your chanel!! God bless
The typical thing is to put the radish on the fish and eat it. (so you don't get meat in the radish). Also most people put a bit of soy sauce on the fish.
日本に来ていただきありがとうございます🍚thank you❤️
Love how Mike shakes his head every time he takes a bite out of something.
Yummy video Mike!💖thanks!
The Japanese food looked incredible. Thank you so much💗
Great stuff, Mike. One of my must go places!
Looks like your in food heaven! ❤️
This video is BADASS!!!!!!
👍🏻👍🏻🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The best known onsen town is beppu! Hope you can visit my grandma’s hometown Beppu some day! Next time!!!! The whole town is steaming from natural onsen!
Yummy
A real restaurant that serves real food
this is gorgeous!!! what a dream
I would like to see Mike try out the many Mom and Pop restaurants in Japan that have Chinese immigrant roots. There are many You Tube videos featuring these places. I think he would be fascinated how Chinese dishes have been adjusted to Japanese taste buds.
I would love watching him check out those places. The intersection of food cultures is where so much tasty stuff goes down! 😅
Actually, Mikey has visited both Kobe and Yokohama.
@@FlavorofMind True. Much (Most?) of Japanese food is actually from that.
@nish221100 that's gotta be the case... wish I was a little more well versed in Japanese food, but there's no doubt that a lot of East Asian food traditions have heavily influenced one another. This talk is making me hungry 🤣
That is really common. Foods like ramen, gyoza/jaozi, pork buns, chashu, etc are all foods of Chinese origin/immigrant influence and I'm pretty sure Mike have tried at least some of them while in Japan. One of his videos is about eating a giant gyoza dumpling in Tokyo.
Always looks like just woke up 😂 thank you for keeping up with us lol
This is so beautiful
What a beautiful place.
100%... now I wanna go!
Great video Mike!
Going to try a kaiseki meal soon 😊
this is my husband and I bucket list places to go !
Yum. Seafood. The snacks look very good. It looks like you fed the koi really fancy people bread.
Yay! : )
amazing video amazing culture and food
Argh, Mike, yer killin' me, here! Someday I will return to Japan and if I can experience a proper ryokan, then I'll do it!
Didn’t even watch the video yet but this is the first time I’ve seen Sakuraco promo! I’ve been a subscriber since their first month! ❤
You’re so lucky to have experienced that.
I guess Bokksu isn't doing as well these days since Sakuraco and Tokyotreat took over.
That is so cool and beautiful!
Happy Chinese new year 🎉❤
Wow! They are so respectful! Bowing when he left at 18:46.
Happy new year
He says Persimmon in a weird way! Lol! As long as he liked it!
Dang, one of my fav videos that you've done in awhile Mike... absolutely baller meal, and I would so love to be relaxing in that peaceful setting. Way to get after it my man!
Glad mike overcome the "No raw food" thing he had!
Looks good, I want to go !!
Mickey this is one of the best places you've visited. I could feel the Zen thru my cell. The food was exceptional and looked absolutely delicious. And it was nice to see u dressed in traditional style. Great job🤗♥️🙆♀️
wow, just starting the video, but you have made it! wow!
That looks super cool. I don't think I'd like to always be kneeling on the floor but I'd like that more traditional experience at least once. I don't think my knees could handle more than that haha
Man I would love to see Mikey on Trash Taste
Wow. Didn’t realize I was zenning-out by proxy with Mike relaxing with the green tea, until the scene cut and the music changed to upbeat and I was like “whoa oh yeah, right. I exist in the modern world 😑”
beautiful place, with a feast to boot, what more can you desire? XD
Niigata is somewhat far from Tokyo. There are closer places like Hakone and Nikko which have onsen ryokan. Definitely worth it if you are visiting Japan.
Always a pleasure to eat with you, sir ~
Great food trip
as much as I love the video and would love to stay here someday I can't help. but continuously think "mikey is def still very hungry" lol
oh that's just so beautiful. Exquisite.
This was a great video. I want to go to a Ryokan. Thank you Mike. The entire property you showed was just sooo Zen.❤️
Looks like I got a good binge watch of " Strictly Dumpling and Mike Chen videos, as on the 16 January 2023 , The Higher Powers decided to give me a Heart Attack, of which I had to have 2 Stents fitted, so on the advice of cardiologist was to rest with a bit of walking exercise of between 5 to 15 minute walk but not too fast, the main thing I'm still here to watch future videos .Thanks to whoever it was watching down on me, I thank you for the 2nd chance .
( PRAISE THE LORD and AMEN ❤️❤️)
A winner vlog. today. Seriously enjoyed the ambience and food. For indepth exposure to local foods kaiseki is the best. Thank you enjoyed.
Look delicious
The chef has had 500 years to perfect their recipes!
one stay must be over 5man yen.
so luxurious ryokan.
Hey!!!! I love your show 🤓🤓🤓🤓, I would like more information on the snacks from Japan 😊😊😊😊😊, I would like to try it
Perfect setting for a detective connan episode

Honestly salivating watching this. Beautifully presented food, with all aspects considered (including the location)
James Bumlick

2:50 to get to the good stuff.

Ok I'll do it. If you don't hear from me again, you'll know what happened.
