Today’s adventure takes Shizuka to Nihonbashi, located in Tokyo’s Chuo Ward. Here, she explores the world of shinisei. Shinisei shops, known as "long-established shops" in Japan, hold a special place in the country's cultural and commercial landscape. These businesses have been operating for generations, often spanning centuries, and are celebrated for their dedication to craftsmanship, quality, and tradition.
Shizuka’s first stop is Toyoda, a Japanese restaurant in Nihonbashi with a 160-year history. She enters the restaurant and meets the 5th-generation owner, Hashimoto Toru. After learning about Hashimoto-san’s family legacy and the restaurant’s history, it’s time to feast! Shizuka is presented with a range of delectable dishes, including blowfish, grilled Japanese beef, tempura, and beyond.
After finishing her meal, Shizuka steps out for some fresh air and wanders over to Nihonbashi Bridge, which was built in 1603 and has served as a symbolic landmark since the Edo Period (17th to 19th centuries). The bridge was originally constructed of wood and marked the starting point of Japan's five major highways, a reference point for travelers measuring distances.
Next stop is Janoichi, a 130-year-old restaurant and the second shinisei restaurant stop on this journey. Takarai Hideharu, the proud owner of Janoichi, introduces Shizuka to the restaurant’s evolution from a street food stand to bricks and mortar restaurant. He presents our hungry host with a dish of Janoichi delicacies, including marinated shrimp, scallops, and bluefin tuna sushi.
The final stop on Shizuka’s Nihonbashi shinisei journey is Unagi Kappo Oedo, which has been around since the 1800s. She enters an elegant dining room and meets Wakui Hiroyuki, the respected owner, who explains the restaurant’s journey from an eel shop to a specialty restaurant. Shizuka selects a course menu, including seasonal appetizers and a range of eel-based dishes.

eating at a Shinisei is at the top of my list to experience, lovin' how they keep the traditional styles and vibes, the description of the food after each tasting is so good that makes me want to eat it even more lol, I'd want to try the first place most, not only because of how delicious the food looks but the Owner's voice sounds like Zatoichi, I can feel like I'm in a Shintaro Katsu film
Loved the history & stories associated with the dishes.

I have to admit that, in spite of a propensity for heavy beers, I really do enjoy Japanese lagers/ales when it comes to pairing with Japanese cuisine. Asahi, Sapporo, or Kirin Ichiban are all quite complimentary without being over-filling. Just right. Kanpai, and thanks for another great video! 🙇♂️🍻

Shizuka's expression in her tastings conveys her appreciation of the chef's preparation and presentation . @6:00 Grilled Japanese Beef - From Shizuka's facial feedback , you know that was 5 stars ! Janoichi - putting food on the "shelf" is different . Great to see that some of these generational establishments survive the pandemic . Hopefully #JapanbyFood can showcase women-owned establishments if there are any .

The calligraphy shown at 18:22 is probably the handwriting of Tokugawa Yoshinobu, the last shogun. The photo is also by Yoshinobu Tokugawa.
I would move to japan just to switch from wine to sake. These meals look so delicious you can't really raise a glass to it in comparison to the ceramic sake cup.

Did it make your mouth numb?
just a reminder to not pour beer gently the whole way. all that carbonation will be trapped, instead of released to form the foamy "head" which should be about 1/4 of the glass. think about how much pouring pressure and flow is created when filling a glass using a draft. when you pour your own beer, you have to recreate that draft pour. this is not simply because of visuals and taste/texture, it is about saving yourself from a bloated stomach which can ruin your meal. once you drink all that trapped carbonation, it will remain in your stomach. when food hits it, the gas will finally release inside, causing you discomfort. eventually, when enough gas has been released, it will finally climb all the way up your esophagus, carrying hints of stomach acid and pulverized food, until it ejects from your mouth. the technique shown at 2:29 culminating in presentation of the first beer at 2:39 is a really good example of how to do it. compare this to 10:45. smaller glasses are unsuitable for beer. so you'll have to pour directly and firmly into the standing glass. you need to create all the foaminess you can. when you are pouring your own tall glass or a pint, pour it firmly with the glass at a diagonal about halfway or 2/3. then stand the glass on a surface and top it off with a direct pour into the middle, letting the foam rise near the brim. certain beers, like Guinness, play by different rules due to the presence of nitrogen and require a firm pour, followed by a long resting period to release the gas, then a gentle top off at the end.
