Wow these are the best recommendations I have seen yet for where to eat like a local. Thank you so much!

I just stumbled on Tonkatsu Marushichi when I went during New Year's day and I was just smiling so much when I was eating it, best value and easily trumps the usual recommended shops! Thank you for this list, I'm flying back to Tokyo to try the rest!!! :D

Awesome content! I love Japan! Such a beautiful country.

Thank you from Istanbul. I used your rakuten travel code to make my reservation for Tokyo!

Was waiting for this after that first Osaka video u did!! Will def try that Ginza sushi so high end looking but cheap!

どこも美味しそう！ジブおじさんの東京グルメ、日本に暮らしてる日本人にもありがたいです！神田に事務所があるときこんなお店も知らなかったしお店がたくさんありすぎて東京はほんと穴場がわかりにくいので。焼き鳥、焼肉、お寿司全部行ってみます！ありがとうございます！

Awesome info! Thanks for sharing! Will note!

美味しいものがたくさんで観ていてお腹空きますね〜。😂 穴子のお刺身は食べたことないので、一時帰国したら食べます。😊 東京育ちですが豚丼以外は知らないお店が多かったので勉強になりました〜。

A great video, thanks for sharing. I have to admit that in a huge city like Tokyo, I will not go out of my way to go to a specific restaurant. My "strategy" is totally different: I will decide what I crave (ramen, soba, tonkatsu, sushi, kaisendon, tempura, korean bbq, seafood, shabu shabu, yakitori etc.) and then I will look for a place that looks good in the area I am in. I so far had only good experiences with that "system".

Fabulous recommendations. Will check them out next week! I have just noticed that Nishitani has increased their prices by about ¥500 across all the set lunches based on a review posted today.

Awesome video!! Im so happy I havent tried any of these so I have another reason to go back Japan 😅

Thank you Ghib for the awesome video. i will be going to Tokyo again for the cherry blossoms this end march and i will be staying near Ueno. So i will be following most of your recommendations especially the ameyoko one!

Thanks Ghib San for introducing these marvelous eating outlets to us, will surely try out a few should I visit Tokyo again.

thank you for sharing! the food looks yummy!!

Fantastic video, I've saved it for future reference.

The dipping ramen was soooo good! Thanks for the recommendation.

Subscribed because you actually showed hidden jewels of food stops. But in Tokyo the biggest hidden gems that tourists miss out on and when I went there street stalls.

日本人です🇯🇵 このビデオで紹介されている店は本当に美味いですよね！ 食通が並んで行く店！ ビデオありがとうございます

That shaved ice at the end though!! That looks bomb! Thank you for sharing!

I don't know if we're going to be able try everything but we'll give it our best shot...kanpai

Thank you for these recommendations! I’m going to Japan in March and I’m super excited. Do you have any hidden gem recommendations for Osaka and Kyoto?

Why didnt i find you before i went!!! So many dope finds! Japan was awesome because of the people make it so. Hope to visit these spots when i go again.

I am so excited to visit Kantan-na-yume when I visit Tokyo later this month. I worked in Kamiyamacho for 5 years (back in the 80s) and this shop is only a few minutes from my old office. Shibuya has changed so much since my time there!

OMG! Thank you Ghib-san!

Love Buta Daigaku.. bought a bottle of their butadon sauce… follow their cooking instructions and turn out pretty good .. works on Wagyu slices too

Very informative video. Lot of places I didn't know. Next time I'm Tokyo I will like check some of them out.

Hi Ghib, i forward this to my brother in law, he is a japanese, i told my sister to tell him abt the Rakuten , n forward to my japanese friend too abt Rakuten,, thks for all the info,, making me hungry again n wanna go to japan again hehe i went last augst,, n alrdy got my Eijyuken back so can go anytime now, japan is like my dai ni furusato,, Huat Ah always , 🙇👍 regards to wife n family, for CNY, Khong Xi Fa Chai , ㊗️🍶🍾😃

thank you for this! these all seem like hidden gems not the instagram-buzzy places that always have crazy hype

👍👍👍👍👍👍 will book for Nov 2024 trip. Huge thanks !

Ghib did NOT just bring a measuring tape to his tonkatsu

Ah love your recommendation 👍🌷💙🤍

Great video as we are going to Japan for the first time this April... I'm going to check out all your videos as you seem so genui9ne and real!!!!

Rakuten travel is awesome. It makes everything so easy and affordable

Amazing content!

Thx for your generosity

先週東京行ったばっかやー！行く前にこの動画見たかった💦じぶさんはシンガポールでも日本でも高級店からお手頃なお店まで色々知ってますね😆

Great. Very timely, I am going to Tokyo this Friday 😊.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and advice. 😊

Great video!

Thank you for all the recommendations! I'm going to Japan next month and have been trying to figure out where to eat in Tokyo (same with Osaka...thankfully you posted a video about it too). I might have to check out every spot in this video. Marushichi, Sanbyakuya, and Michishirube are the restaurants I really want to visit the most though!

@GhibOjisan I want to express a huge THANK YOU for the recommendations you shared in this video.🙌 I managed to try the sushi lunch at Nishitani and the yakitori at Michishirube when I visited Tokyo last month, and I was so impressed at both places! 完全に満足でした～ At Michishirube, I also had an amazing side dish I'd like to share with anyone here who's thinking to go -- the "uni tofu". Silky smooth and creamy, best eaten in one indulgent mouthful🤤

The butadon you recommended is my son's favourite go to place every time we go to Japan. Mike Chen recommended that place years ago. Great find.

Thanks man! Visiting next month, will definitely check these out. 🙏🏼

Just came back from Japan and your recommendations are awesome! Felt like a local!

Merci ….. arigato in french , you have helped me a great deal as i’m starting to plan my trip for fall 2024 !!!

私も魚草大好きです！雰囲気も最高ですよね 次日本に来たらぜひファンミーティングして下さい〜

Excellent video. Plan on going this year, and this was fantastic. Thank you

I’m going to Japan in July. Can’t wait to eat at Yakitori at Mishishirube. Your video is amazing. Thank you!

Thanks, very helpful

Thank you for this video! Helped me figure out some food places and a great hotel to stay for my birthday!

amazing video, thank you!

good job! makes me want to try the sushi and yakitori...

Happy wify happy life !! Gorgeous video!!

Now that you mentioned it, it's gonna be flooded with tourist now. :D

特に銀座の1300円代の平日寿司ランチは超穴場ですね、、！ 回らないお寿司屋さん殆ど行った事ないので、都内行く時寄ってみます👊🍣

I know it is a chain restaurant, but I really love 焼肉名店, you pay per slice but all slices are perfect.

Arigato, I will definetely try those restaurant recommed by u, pls do more similar videis about food in Osaka, Kyoto and Hokaiddo, thks a million. abmm😊

thank you for all these!! will come in handy in a few days when we arrive to Tokyo! Arigato!!

Wow! Such a great video. Going to check some of these places out.

wow ok adding these to my list!

I also like tsukemen enji!

Alright, I’m coming to your recommendations this week then 😂

OMG i must go to all these

ジブさん「まつや」よく来てくださいました！あの辺りは昔は連雀町と言われたところで、数々の老舗が軒を連ねています。私は甘味の竹むらがオススメです。次回は是非！

the Tsukumen at koenji was awesome, very diff from all e tsukumen i had all to date. Liked it very much Went twice Overstuffed myself 2nd visit

Subscribed immediately!

I used to live in Kanda (Ochanomizu) and Kanda Matsuya often had a queue outside. What you call Oku-Sibuya, I would call Tomigaya or Kamiyama-cho, and I used to live there as well. Intestines are fine, but most Westerners do not like the texture of 軟骨! I also used to work in Nihonbashi, 15 minutes walk to Ginza, and live in Kachidoki, maybe 30 minutes walk? But I have never been to Nishitani restaurant. Kichijoji is also quite a good place to buy furniture, if you want to kit out an apartment in Tokyo.

大したものですね、恐れ入ります。どこもコスパの高いおいしそうなお店ですね。登録しました。 日本語も普通に話せるのでしょうね。はっきりとした日本語がときどきあるので。

Thanks for sharing. Really like Japan, hope to see the sakura this March.

Hi Ghib, I am flying to Tokyo for travel soon! Thanks a lot for this timely video :) May I ask for the Nishitani Sushi set, when is this available? Is it only during weekday lunch?

Enji was amazing

Interesting and informative 🇯🇲 💯

There are so many great vegan restaurants in Tokyo, I can wait to try them!

Beautiful food.. Beautiful city.

i died when you pull out a measurement tape for the tonkatsu

Awesome share!

穴子の刺身は確かに珍しい。

Buta daigaku is always a must eat

I have followed and subscribe. very useful

Do I have to make an appointment for all those restaurants that you recommend? I am going to Tokyo in April. Please help. I have never been to Japan before. Thanks.

thank you

I go to wind dragon, $4 for ramen and they even give you 1 free full refill, amazing tonkotsu ramen and cheap as hell

subscribe!! thanks for the reccomendatioons

13:12. For real 1320yen? Thats the money I paid for just a dried normal mac donald meal here in my country. 😢

Ur best dipping ramen look just like our [Singapore] mee rubus, wonder whether it taste similar.

We've found many restaurants in Japan allow smoking. Can you highlight restaurants that do not allow smoking inside?

I’m going for the first time in June and intimidated by not knowing the language so I will eat at places that dont require much intervention with locals.

Thank you for the video. Are any of them family/children friendly or can you make a video that is family/children friendly?

Looks good. I’m staying away from oysters though

Hey, like your vid. Was wondering if you do private tours as I will be disembarking a cruise in Tokyo on 9/10/24. I would like to gather a group of 6-8 ppl and do a 5 days tour. Please let me know. Thanks.

great video thank you! does michisarube speak English if I call for reservation or can I walk in?

What, no Okonomiyaki restaurants. Which one do you prefer?

Any vegetarian options ? Thank you

Ojisan, I really like to go to Michishirube, shinjuku for Yakitori the you had. I like to make a reservation for end of April. Do I call them on the phone and make it? Any suggestions?

Hello thk you for sharing. I m on special diet how to tell the server i want half portion rice or no rice? Could you help, thank you?

My man when is 200.00$ not that much.

Is that burger place better than the Wagyu Burger?

Are they family friendly? I’m wondering if they’re ok with family with kids.

How friendly is uokusa to english speaking tourist?
