Shinjuku Restaurant Tour Experience | Sushi, Wagyu, Tempura in Tokyo ★ ONLY in JAPAN

Eating out in Tokyo is an adventure, especially in Shinjuku - Tokyo's busiest area with over 3.5M people going through Shinjuku Station daily! There are over 1500 restaurants around the station serving food like Sushi, Wagyu Beef, Yakiniku & Shabushabu, Tempura, Yakitori, Ramen and with so many options, it can be very hard to pick a good one, especially if you don't speak Japanese.

This time, I'm with Sho of Magical Trip who will share his local knowledge on Shinjuku and its restaurants, Japanese cuisine and the deepest parts of the city.

Japan's Wagyu Beef Database:

★ Magical Trips is a service offering local tours and experiences in 14 different cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima, an authentic local experience in small groups that feels like your with friends. I've been on a few of these tours and loved it!
▶︎ And the Shinjuku Foodie Tour I took with Sho is here:

Anytime I see an Only in Japan episode or a Japanology episode on food, I'm in. They don't miss on these. Ever

You know it's a good day when John drops a video! Irasshaimase!

I just returned from a 2 week trip in Japan. As always, food is good, great, or excellent. And with the weak yen, it is very affordable. Miss it already 😪

I went to Japan last year, it was an amazing place. I want to go back already.

Just rewatching this episode and realized how well the camera work is with the opening of you speaking and the camera angles and cut and pace of the video. Well done John❤

When OIJ covers Japanese food, it's always a great watch! Sho being a local makes him the perfect guide! I learned something with regard to the wasabi, put it on the sushi, not in the soy sauce to enjoy it's flavour fully. Thanks John! 👍🍣😋

I’ve have a tour with Sho!!! In 2019. He was awesome !!

The Magical Trip Tours look great. Definitely something I'm going to check out next time I'm in Japan. Thanks for sharing this!

Kabukicho Shinjuku should be the major itinerary of any fan of Ryu Ga Gotoku (Yakuza / Like A Dragon) who is visiting Japan. Roam the streets where Kiryu Kazuma and the rest of the gang walked! I was there in 2019 and it was amazing!

I remember the times he used to do this with Kevin..good days

Great video still the king of Japan content John 🫵🏼👍

[raymondcenteno]

I wish this episode came out just a few weeks earlier. Well there's always next time I'm in Tokyo.

Sho stumbling over his words about why y'all went to the wagyu restaurant was so funny lol he just wants to gooo

[carolineindacityphx]

Your diet was annihilated, John! Well worth it! Sho was a great guide and a great dinner partner. Then came the Sake! Lol. It was fun watching this episode!
