Tourists Don't Know! Top 10 BEST Foods in Tokyo, Japan

Come before that happens. Now we are in the Kabukicho area of ​​Shinjuku and here I want to introduce you to one of my favorite Yakitori in Tokyo that I forgot where he is. is that here? Not here? More people lost. I found it! His name is Michishirube. Customers rank it among the top 100 Yakitori in all of Japan. Okay, let's get in. Look, look at this hidden gem, right? it's like walking into someone's cabin so at Michishirube they serve so many weird parts of the chicken so good thing we sat on level two so my food went up this elevator and we had some beer and a snack . self-service!

Kanpai! What's also nice is that I think before the pandemic, you could order through this pipeline, so there is a staff right under this pipeline so you can order from here, but because of the pandemic, I think they left to do it. the staff will just go up. Oh, I think my food will arrive here. my appetizer! The marinated cucumber can't wait for my Yakitori. First, Hatsumoto-tuki-Hatsu. basically chicken heart. Incredibly crispy and super juicy, next up is Obi. This is also a weird part, basically the thigh meat, but it is the torus (fatty part) of the thigh.

It's supposed to be very tender and fatty, smoky and juicy, how do they make it? Look how juicy it is, how good the next step is, Seseri. This is the neck meat, so fatty, so crispy, so tender, followed by a super rare part, Sae-zuri. This is chicken esophagus, look at this, how juicy it is, we are eating it with the tare, the sauce. health. it's so chewy the more you bite into it, the more amazing the chicken taste, the fat just oozes out even if you're not a fan of intestines, definitely try this one, it's so good, not too playful, not too weird, just so good next, Sunagimo. -no-engawa.

Sunagimo is gizzard, but this is the "engawa" of Sunagimo, which means they only use the outer sides of the gizzard and turn it into a skewer. the crispiest, juiciest gizzard ever. I love the texture that follows the Bi-teikotsu. this near the chicken butt wow, that's a fatty back, sweet and greasy to the max, then the shin meat, another weird part that I knew Shin chicken is so good, wow. juicy, tender, so delicious, this is the first time I have tried their chicken nipples. I don't

know

, I thought it would be chewier and stuff, but it's actually really tender, it's almost like chicken breast, wow, that's good next one, tsukune!

This is one of the largest tsukune. This tsukune is so... are you fainting? Yes, I was about to faint, it's not the cutest, but wow, next up is Smoky, so thick and juicy, Dakimi. This is their original, so the outside is chicken skin and the inside is chicken thigh. and this is going to be my last yakitori for tonight, cheers, you really explode, you almost explode, amazing taste, amazing flavors, okay, here it is, we ordered the ramen, so in Japan, we love to end our drinking experience with noodles , usually in this izakaya, one. One of the signature menus is this Toyama black ramen, so it's a Toyama black soy sauce based ramen and you might be wondering, "Why Toyma?" It's because the owner is from Toyama and wanted to recreate his favorite dish.

The firm noodles look so good cooked to perfection. and the soup with the beautiful flavor of soy sauce and ramen sells out very quickly, so I recommend you order it when you get here and ask the staff to bring it to you after all the food. If you want to snack (reserve) your ramen. before it's over, oh what an experience, everything was so delicious, they are so passionate about yakitori you can feel it and we ate a lot, drank a lot and only paid 9,000 yen. An excellent value too. I don't think they did. They have an English menu but they are very friendly so just ask for recommendations and they will give you the

best

.

The atmosphere is great too, it's like going back in time. Highly recommended. Alright, our last stop on this food tour is Kichijoji. The

best

dipping ramen I

know

is here. Kichijoji is a little out of the way but it's very close to the Ghibli Museum and I think I've tried over 100 dipping ramen but I always come back to this one, we're here Enji! I arrived before opening, but there is already a small queue, so you can choose between three noodles. Definitely go for the Goku-buto Haigamen, which is a signature noodle mixed with wheat and is really delicious, the best tsukemen ever. break the egg. beautiful everything in a nice bite that you can also change the flavor with vinegar, chili oil, fish powder, chili.

Just so amazing, it was so good. Sorry I couldn't talk much at the restaurant, but first of all, the noodles are amazingly aromatic and incredibly chewy. They again put Japanese wheat inside so that it has a nice firm texture. all the soup amazing so now the soup is also very special the taste is the typical tsukemen flavor it is made with chicken and pork bone and some seafood and the special thing about Enji is that they also add their vegetable paste and that adds this beautiful beautiful dimension sweetness to the soup and it is delicious. There is a tsukemen trick that I think some foreigners don't know.

You can always add some soup after finishing the noodles so that the pot of soup is on the table. It's usually just dashi (broth), so it has a very subtle flavor, but if you combine it with the remaining sou, it's delicious. Enji also has two other outlets in Ikebukuro and Nakano. I never went to those two outlets so I don't know if they are as good as this one, but I'll leave the link in the description box below just in case, I also want to introduce you to this super exclusive coffee sale. very interesting shaved ice right here is Cafe Lumier, it's just a 10 second walk from Ramen Enji and my wife loves this cafe, we're inside and everything is so cute about this cafe, the interior, the menu and the shaved ice will give you They will leave you speechless. .

Now it may look like a normal kakigori, but look what's going to happen. It's so hot, have you ever seen anything like this before? This cafe specializes in cooked kakigori, so they flambé the kakigori to bring out the aroma and flavor. Wow, it's so cute, so soft and pillowy inside, there are actually several layers, the first layer has a little bit of strawberry, very interesting because it's hot outside, but inside it's of course very cold and let me try to show you all the layers without destroying them. I can see the different beautiful layers and don't forget to pour over the rum because it goes so well with the kakigori.

It's a great experience if you're visiting. Enji definitely check out this cafe and the good thing is that they actually have a booking link so it's very easy to book your table even if you're a foreigner, so that was my top 10
