I like Japan’s cozy neighborhoods, they got very low crime rate, all the eateries looks like they got characters, places that I would go to eat and hang out with family and friends, great food, and the streets and places are clean.
Ok, those bars are really cool! Keep up the great work!

Absolutely Loved that you had to open a refrigerator door to get into this bar, even loved more seeing your 1ST reaction. The Cheese quesadilla looks so yummy and delicious. Welcome to your magical world open the vending machine go in and close it. Cheers on a double shot of tequila to start your meal. Yum meatballs. Insert for the next hidden bar.Where could it be??I also would have tried the soda machine. Welcome to the entrance of Hogwarts. Love the dining room with the skeleton. Awesome glowing drink in the treasure box. Yum coconut. I was extremely surprised when the waiter said Chicago. Extra cheese pizza looks so delicious and yummy. Absolutely Loved Every Second // Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish

I subscribed to your channel today. I love Japan. I had a wonderful time when I went there, and I wish I could go again. I probably don't have enough info for you to find it, but there's a bar, I think in Kabukicho, in one of those alley sized streets. The entrance looks like part of a wooden wall. If you look closely, there's a section of wall that looks kind of like a Dutch door, but only the bottom opens, and you have to duck to get in. I wish I had more info, but that's all I've got. I love the food in Japan, including the konbini food. (However, being from Chicago, I wasn't crazy about Japanese pizza). Looking forward to your next food adventure.

Thank you so much for subbing! We will take you on even more amazing adventures!
Awesome episode on hidden Tokyo bars! For added intrigue and mystery, consider hiding the video cleverly to match the theme. I would suggest that Shizuka hides the video in her backpack inside a Pokemon USB stick (I know for sure she has one of those)! Keep it up! 🤪😉😄😽
Can't believe I didn't go to the Michinakimichi place when I was there last August, I'll be sure to go there when I land this year in September! I did go to igu&peace and loved their vibe and especially the food! They have an extensive menu! I didn't have time to go to MOSS last time but 200 yen happy hour is insane - I will definitely go there too.

We love "Backstreet Culture" in big cities of Japan. We always advise travellers from Australia and New Zealand to make sure to walk on backstreet. Unlike some tourist destinations in other countries, backstreet is "off the beaten path". . Thank you Shizuka for highlighting this!
