Shizuka heads to Minato City in Tokyo to check out a yokocho of a different kind. Yokocho, meaning “alleyway” or “side street”, are a network of narrow alleyways lined with various eateries and bars. Yokocho are a fascinating part of Japan’s urban dining culture, but today, we’re checking out a new interpretation of this timely social dining concept: a sky-high themed indoor yokocho!
Shizuka makes her way up to the 38th floor of the Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Minato City (Tokyo) to Ajikaido Gojusantsug: a high-end indoor yokocho where the restaurants are named after the 53 stations (or rest areas) along the Tokaido Road, which connected Kyoto to Edo (otherwise known as modern Tokyo).
First stop on our indoor yokocho journey, Sanjo-a teppanyaki restaurant serving Japanese wagyu beef. Shizuka sits and indulges in a luxurious course meal starring pancakes with caviar, Japanese black beef sirloin, and more. Next stop on our Tokaido-themed yokocho pilgrimage is Odawara, where Shizuka savors fresh seafood and vegetable tempura. Full but with room for more, Shizuka walks to her final stop, Nihonbashi-a premium sushi restaurant with a breathtaking view of the Tokyo skyline. The chef prepares fresh sushi using the finest local seafood, ensuring our host ends the journey on a delectable high.

Additionally, restaurant decorations are subject to change with the season.

As a half Japanese that looks Japanese, there is a constant struggle to meet peoples expectation when they talk to me like a native Japanese. I can speak Japanese, and some times have no accent, but my Japanese language capability is probably at elementary school level. It's a tough spot to be in as I look Japanese, can speak Japanese to a degree, but just have problem expressing myself fully. So there is this frustration with not knowing how to respond in certain situation. Life would be easier if I just didn't speak Japanese at all and didn't look Japanese at the same time. At any rate, I'm proud of anyone leaning in to this struggle on youtube and elsewhere.

Often, half Japanese can look very Japanese to foreigners but are easily identifiable as half to locals, even just because of body language or facial expression. Do you think you're usually viewed as fully Japanese by locals?

@@Omikoshi78 It's kind of the opposite of the "nihongo jouzu" problem that western looking people run into when they speak Japanese. I'm not Japanese but East Asian and ran into similar issues when I visited earlier this year where people just naturally assumed I was fluent and were shocked when I wasn't 😅

@yuyutubee8435 11 ай бұрын

Japanese whisky tends to be a blend of whiskies purchased from Europe and/or sometimes North America and they often do include some scotch. Like any whisky from anywhere, I've found them to be hit or miss. I'd imagine their brandies are similar.
