Japan trip in search of delicious food!!
5 days 4 nights Japan trip
Starting the first day after landing at Narita Airport, the next station is ‘Choshi’
The first restaurant we went to is called ’Hitachi Fish Dish.’ The Japanese person who took us there recommended it because it’s quite popular, mostly visited in the evening. But even so, the food served was very fresh and delicious. Each of us got a set like this, absolutely amazing 👍🏻
Next, we went to ‘Yamasa Soy Sauce Factory visitor.’ We tried ice cream made from the factory’s soy sauce. The taste was super good, kind of like salted caramel ice cream. We also tried cola made from the sauce, which was great to drink with the sparkling drink served alongside—just perfect.
On the second day, after traveling to Tokyo 🚅
We went around Ito Yokado near Kiba, where there’s a big 7-Eleven. After walking around the mall, before getting on the train, we stopped to buy hot matcha latte at Tully’s Coffee to recharge.
Being in Japan, how can you miss this? In the evening, we went straight to eat fresh sashimi at ‘Kaiten Sushi Misaki.’ The taste was great, I give it 3 thumbs up. It felt like eating omakase for sure.
The next day, we ate sushi again, but this time we tried a famous sushi chain that’s trending in Thailand now, called ‘Sushiro.’ I want to say the taste was amazing, even better because there was no need to queue here.
In the evening, a Japanese friend invited us to eat sukiyaki together. Usually, we only see beef or pork sukiyaki, right? But here, no. It was ‘duck sukiyaki.’ Such a surprise, never tried it before. They said it’s a local dish from Nara city. The duck was very fresh with no gamey smell. The appetizers were great too. The best part was this meal was filling and budget-friendly 😂
The next day was time for our last day of exploring on our own 🫠
Today was like walking around, shopping for souvenirs, and eating!!!
The first place we went to was Asakusa. The street food along the way was so abundant. I highly recommend the green tea shop in Asakusa—it’s amazing, with a strong roasted bean aroma.
Next, we headed to Shibuya!! Time to find lunch.
We decided to queue at ‘Roast Beef Ono’ after hesitating because the line was very long. The restaurant is underground, down the stairs. But I must say, meat lovers must not miss this place. The set we ate was A5 Wagyu beef, size M, priced around 2,200 yen, excluding drinks. The price was reasonable, but the taste was the best. We were full until dinner.
After that, we walked around Shibuya for a while and stopped to eat dorayaki at a famous shop whose name I can’t remember, but the line was very long.
We ended the dinner with yakiniku!!!
Of course, coming to Japan without eating yakiniku is a no-no. For dinner, we went to ‘Gyu-Kaku’ near Shinjuku. The food was really good. It’s a buffet style with prices to choose from according to your budget. We went for the cheapest set, which was about 900 baht in Thai currency, but totally worth it.
If you go to Japan, I hope you get to try the restaurants I recommended. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed 🫶🏻
