MUSLIMS TRY FIRST MICHELIN STAR RESTAURANT IN TOKYO JAPAN Day 3: Asakusa Sensoji & Shibuya

Salaam everyone! We hope you enjoy our travel vlog about our first Michelin star restaurant experience in Tokyo, Japan.

The rain finally stopped, so Sarah and I got to spend the entire day exploring Tokyo and all the amazing food it has to offer.

Our hotel was located next to the Yamanote green line that is run by JR trains, which allow you to use the subway in Tokyo to get to all the main areas like Asakusa, Shibuyya, Shinjuku, Shimbashi etc.

Breakfast is not a big thing in Japan, but we managed to find some really tasty pastries to start our day. We visited the Sensoji Shrine at Asakusa district which was a lot of fun. Great shopping, food, and sights to see. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and they are everywhere! We recommend visiting Asakusa and checking out the Sensoji shrine and sample all the street food.

After we got hungry, we found Halal Ramen! This is great, because as muslims we eat halal meat (Chicken and beef etc). We love ramen and we wanted to make sure we got to try it in Japan.

The Halal Ramen place is called, Naritaya Ramen. Located in Asakusa beside the Sensoji Temple shrine, so it is very convenient. The restaurant makes halal chicken ramen and it was delicious. Muslims can also have a spot to pray in the restaurant as well.

After we had some delicious ramen we wanted to see more of Tokyo and we ended up in Shibuya, the time square of Tokyo.
Shibuya is famous for the Shibuya crossing where you can cross the street in any direction with hundreds of other people. Really fun and cool experience, definitely recommend it. Also, Shibuya is a great place to shop, there are a lot of nice clothing stores and boutique stores that cater to young people.

Use the Yamanote Green line to get to Shibuya station. Shibuya is also close to Harajuku and Yoyogi park which is where we decided to go next.

Yoyogi park is huge and is famous for the amazing Meiji Shrine as well as having a really fun park and hanami or cherry blossom parties. A lot of street performers and entertainment are located at Yoyogi park. This is a must for a great cherry blossom experience and it's close to Harajuku and Shibuya making it convenient to get to.

Finally, Sarah and I got to try our first Michelin star restaurant in Tokyo called, Hashimoto. Which specializes in Unagi or Eel.

We are huge foodies and Japan is has the most Michelin star restaurants in the world, making it a great place to find cheap Michelin star restaurants to try. Hashimoto only serves BBQ eel or unagi which tasted amazing and was inexpensive! Your hotel can make reservations for you, we made our reservation a few days in advance.

We were the last customers for the day, and make sure you come before the last call. Many restaurants will have a closing time and a last call time to order food and if you arrive after the last call you will not be able to make an order.

Unagi is a delicacy and the chef made it taste like heaven! He BBQ the unagi eel and coated it with an amazing soy sauce. The rice absorbed all the juice and tasted like butter!

We had a great time there and the chef came out to speak with us which was very nice of him.

Y&S rating is Yusuf and Sarah rating that we came up with to review food based on taste, creativity, skill, service, and execution. The rating is out of 5 and it is really tough to get a 5 rating. So far the 1 Michelin star we rated is a 4.7 out of 5, because eel is difficult to make taste that amazin. He also perfectly cooked the eel and combined great flavors in the sauce and rice.

Hashimoto Tokyo is on my wish list for Japan. You guys showed it really well. I also like how you appreciate the different form of religion in different country. Just can't stop watching your videos!

[JoeSzilagy]

I figured you guys would like all the food in Japan! That's all I hear- from friends in Japan, friends from Japan (here in Toronto), friends who have visited Japan, as well as on YouTube videos- about how great the food is! I hope to visit there myself in the Spring or Fall. Nice video, by the way.

[soul.space]

The views are amazing and you've captured every highlight of the place. Great work!

[yopparaiiii]

I love watching your videos on japan. Even though I have watched a tons of other youtubers vlogs, I like hearing different tourists views of Japan.

[MinMark]

Salaam. Loving your Japan trip videos! Looking forward to more. Will be planning my own trip to Japan soon. Your videos were very insightful and helpful.
From a Muslim brother to another. Keep up the good work!

[fred-shieh]

lol you sat on the exact seat where my family and I sat when we went there earlier this year... it's awesome

[bishhwahh]

New subie 👏 hopefully you have videos of you and your wife traveling the middle east and showing us all the amazing food they have there aswell 🤘👐

[Coolbabymama]

So much better now that it's not a vertical sho and your edits are nice in this one too. Great job 💗☺️

[wiranurmansyah]

I miss that naritaya ramen. 🍜 keep up the good vlog brother

[naruman]

I've been in Tokyo for a couple of weeks and stumbling upon your adventure is like a tourist guide so thank you for this!!
I also really wanted to try Unagi but I heard the glazy sauce they put on top is made with mirin (an alcoholic condiment)?

[urvigupta]

Awesome video! Kudos for the effort :)

[jade]

I love LOVE love love that you are so respectful, caring offering her food and show her eating food. I watched Mark Weins and he treats his wife like crap in all videos. I am switching to you and your family from now on. It's good to see that you show your strength by being a good husband, and beautiful side of your faith for all to see. Trump has the wrong idea about Muslims. He has to watch your videos. Lol

[beaunakamori]

Hi thank you for this video, im from hawaii and im going japan in a few weeks. How did you make a reservation at hashimotos?

[classified]

New Subbie mashallah may you guys have a great time!

[ysfma]

I'm almost certain that even chicken ramen broth was made with pork bone. Broth made without pork bone is extremely rare. For that reason I always make it at home.

[ashleypopa]

i'm jealous!! i wanna go to japan so badly.

[filmxmd]

[illiteratefilipino]
