Ibusuki, located on the southern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture, is renowned for its unique geothermal activity due to being in a volcanic region. Additionally, Ibusuki is recognized for its picturesque coastal scenery, including the beautiful Kinko Bay. Shizuka explores all of this and more on this byFood adventure!
Our first stop is Daimaru Katsuobushi Factory, where Shizuka goes behind the scenes of katsuobushi production. Katsuobushi is dried and fermented skipjack tuna, which is a fundamental ingredient in washoku (Japanese cuisine) known for its intense umami flavor. Shizuka runs us through the production cycle (processing, cleaning, freezing, drying, smoking, fermenting, and drying) before getting in on the action! She bravely enters a minus thirty (and then a minus fifty) katsuobushi freezer. After this, she defrosts outside and tries fresh katsuobushi and a healthy regional soup dish called cha bushi.
Next, Shizuka visits and experiences one of Ibusuki’s top claims to fame; natural hot sand baths! Ibusuki has the only natural sand baths in the world, making it a popular destination for domestic and overseas travelers looking for rejuvenation.
After brushing off the sand, it’s time for lunch! Ibusuki has geothermal steam areas, which are used as public cooking areas. Shizuka steams eggs, potato, and okra for lunch before moving on to the day's final stop; a somen noodle restaurant of a different kind. Tosenkyo Somen Nagashi is a somen noodle restaurant that uses fresh spring water from a nearby gorge. Typically, nagashi somen noodles flow down a bamboo chute, but at this restaurant, they flow in a circular motion in the middle of your table.

Hello Japan by Food!!! 😍🖤🥰🍻🍺
Shizuka's Canadian Heritage in Full Action at -50°C!!! I would have died in that Fridge.
She could stay longer than the rest of the team!
She looked like she was enjoying herself in there too 😀
Shizuka is so much fun and the experience she brings us every week is very enjoyable.
More to come!
Thank you for showing this part of Japan my mother was from this area and she would talk about it and possibly being able to go back and see it , but sadly she had pasted away years ago and I was very young but this brought back memories of her talking about it. Thank you !
We hope you will be able to visit it too one day!
I’m from Makurazaki! This is my home! Tosenkyo🥰 So glad that someone finally made a great video about Kagoshima(that I know of)❤And of course it’s you guys! I’m also a ByFood affiliate. This is wild🙌❤️ありがとうございます🙇🏻♀️👏
The setting of that restaurant was was nice and peaceful 😮
I particularly appreciate these videos that highlight places off the beaten path like Kagoshima. Another banger vid guys! I reckon you could throw a dart 🎯 at a map of Japan, travel to wherever it landed and find yourself in a city or town with a unique charm worth a visit!
P.S. Shizuka rockin the stylish outfit ❤️
Amazing idea! We might actually try to just throw a dart and see where we should visit next!
So yummy! Thanks JBF crew!
Awesome video. I love watching ur videos. So informative
Glad you like them!
How did I miss this video?? Looks so fun!
i love shizuka
One off my favorite place in Japan. We try to go there whenever we can. After being there several times I can't get enough of it. Ibusuki onsen and the other things from the video are just some of the original aspects of Kagoshima you can find only here. I must add the Jumbo Mochi the Kurobuta pork and the place where you can find the Shiro Kuma shop exactly in Kagoshima city where they serve the biggest shaved ice in Japan with countless toppings. Kagoshima city has free dolphin show almost every day and the view of the volcano is priceless. The weather is very mild during the fall and winter and no so many foreigners actually are visiting the area so it's kind of magical. There are other unique things but I have spoiled enough. Lol
We wanted to visit the Shiro Kuma shop too! Had no time unfortunately TT We gotta go back!
We went to Ibusuki a few years back and loved the sunamushi! I wish I knew about the other places to visit though. Sometimes hard to hard things in the smaller places but I can always go back!
We get it! It can be quite difficult to find places to visit in the countryside and even more difficult to get to them but it is always worth it! We totally loved exploring the calm countryside! Hope you will visit soon again!
Very unique noodle presentation! And now I know more about the bonito flakes! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I didn't know how hard it is before you get the finished product of the bonito flakes, amazing to see, the onsen adventures looked like fun, I liked it when it got hot and looks so satisfying to get the refreshing foods
Take care and have a wonderful week!✨
Thank you! You too!
Yay!!! I would eat spmen & inari sushi with Shizuka Anderson 😊 It looks refreshing & delicious!!!
It tasted the best! Especially in the heat ^^
Thank you for always being healthy😊
ALWAYS!
Man, I am so glad my bro sent me links to this channel. They get better and more interesting all the time. I'm from Canada too! British Columbia. You flow between worlds well in a good way. Thank you!
yay! Thank you so much!
Great video.
Thank you so much!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome content Japan By Food.👏👏👏
Thank you 😋
Been to Japan so many times and this is my new destination in 2024
yes
Shizukaaaaaaa
that thumbnail lol shizuka "sanderson" amirite heh
The sand bath was cool!
Super cool!
Shizuka, you didn't convince anyone you enjoyed that sand bath! My claustrophobia could never 😂
タケノコ is bamboo shoot, not mushroom. But a fairly cheerful and energetic host 😄
Shizuka is the best
I'm glad the Japanese invented bonito flakes. They're just sooo good on takoyaki!! I cant have enough of them... I usually want more 😂 lol
Love Katsuobushi I knew it was a long process but what a beautiful flavour!!!! So good!!!! 👌🏻
It just makes everything taste better!

Another sugoi video. Arigato danke🩵🙏🏻
Thank you so much for watching!
Just returned from a trip to SE Asia. There was a BOILING hot spring in Chiang Rai, Thailand. It was so hot there were warning signs posted on ropes five feet away from the edge warning not to place any body parts into the water! Employees were boiling eggs for sale in long-handled baskets. You could choose 1 minute or 2 minute eggs. Interestingly, there was no safety grid/net over the water...just the signs.
Wow, the trust they had in people :O
Very interesting😊
Glad you think so!
My wife and I love watching your videos, especially the food. We have to make sure we don’t watch before bedtime 🙂 cause we get crazy hungry. Totemo oishi desu. Doomo Arigato from Newport Beach California
Arigato! Yeah, we always get hungry editing!:P
I'm glad you didn't lose any toes to frostbite
Love this video. What are the address of the steam cooking? Thanks.
Ibusuki is great - it's kind of a forlorn and nostalgic tourist town, maybe already a bit past its prime days of former glory - at least that's the Impression I got in the off-season. Getting out of the sand sauna and ridding yourself of all that surprisingly heavy wet sand feels like being reborn! Would highly recommend strolling to Chiringashima at low tide, or enjoying the view up from Uomidake. And if you wanna go for a sidetrip, the Kagoshima flower park is nice, and while I didn't make it all that way, Cape Nagasakibana and the Ryugu shrine are two more POI around the corner.
It did have a retro vibe! But we enjoyed for that very reason! Next time, we hope to explore even more!
wow very nice experience friend
Thank you!
you're welcome@@JapanbyFood
😍😍😍
Koichi san spinning the towel in the -30C cold room with a Hawaiian t-shirt is the absolute highlight for this video, LOL
Fun fact : Here in Hawaii no one calls them Hawaiian shirts. We call them aloha shirts
Koichi-san was just a bunch of warm and peaceful energy! Loved him!
“❤” 😇
The noodle place looks like where the elf lords of Rivendell might feast
We see that!
I must have extra bonito flakes in my takoyaki and okonomiyaki 😋😋
Please do!
No matter what she's wearing she's dressed appropriately. ♥
Thumbnail looks like you're having a good time, but then you got your head severed lol
Just a head having fun!
Shizuka finally loses her head or was it her body ? 😂
Great vlog as always but was this the one that made u sick ?
Question: Why use biologics or expensive bone substitutes when you can harvest autologous cancellous bone (aka the "gold standard) through a straight-forward percutaneous approach?
The Kagoshima prefecture looks fun and entertaining! But I was so worried when you were buried in the sand Shizuka! Hopefully you did not burn your back. 😅
It was quite hot but fortunately not uncomfortable!
Looks like we now have visible proof Shizuka is the hottest TV presenter in Japan because apparently even when standing in a freezer full of katsuobushi at minus 50 dressed in summer clothing, she laughs away the cold creating a geothermal incident of her own as her incredible body temperature starts to cook the tuna and the fire department are called in to hose her down!
既に食されたかもですが、鹿児島といえばやはり黒豚ですね。
This is why Japanese cuisine is the best in the world… 6 months of processes just to get a delicious garnish and base for foods with bonito flakes!!
Right? They take it to a whole new level!
Hey Shizuka, consider spending more time in your sandbag, because you sound so relaxed and chill! How about some crossover episodes like 'Japan by Food meets Spas & Saunas'? I hope you appreciate my suggestion and give me some extra XP points (I deserve them)! ☃☃😉😉
the guy lowkey roasted you at 4:04 lmao
:O Koichi-san wouldn't TT
Shizuka's going to be having high blood pressure when she's old and cranky.
Do you have a sister in Toronto? I have this coworker that i always think look like you. Now that i know you are from Canada. It's possible that she really is your sis. Haha
Ooo mami is right…
Smoke for one month. That’s quality
Shizuka-san, it says タケノコ at 10:00 instead of キノコ, so maybe you could have cooked mushrooms but not bamboo shoots?
We noticed too late :P
Oh my gosh, you’re totally right!! 😭 Sometimes my brain doesn’t work 😅😅
is the sand bath good for one’s ice-cold soul? asking for a friend 😂
It should;)
I thought when shizuka had the sand bath she had to me nekid *gasp* the ratings would have doubled nice to still see some warm days in japan,nice work team.🍻
:P
Yum yum yum!
The best!
I need to correct you that タケノコ is NOT MUSHROOM.
It is a bamboo shoot.
The sign for the steaming said No Meat, No Fish, No Bamboo Shoot.
Only have one problem with this video it was to short 😢
We are happy to hear that!
