Today, it’s all about beer! Shizuka and Kai hit the streets of Shinbashi to explore Japanese beer culture, learn about pouring techniques, and meet some of the best in the beer business.
Japanese beer culture is heavily influenced by "omotenashi," which translates to hospitality. This principle extends to how beer is brewed, served, and consumed. Japanese beers are typically known for their clean and crisp flavors, and this is not only a result of quality ingredients but also how they are handled throughout the brewing and serving process.
A perfect glass of beer requires four key elements: temperature, pouring technique, aroma and flavor, and the right glass. Our beer-loving duo embark on their hoppy adventure by walking to their first stop… Dry Dock! Shizuka and Kai enter this cozy, nautically themed bar and are greeted warmly by Baba-san, the owner. He gives them a rundown of the bar’s history before getting down to business! Sato-san serves our hosts Asahi Super Dry Beer using a variety of pouring techniques, each of which results in a unique tasting experience.
Following this, they feast on some food before moving on to the next venue… Brasserie Beer Boulevard. Greeted by Sato-san, the cheerful owner, they make their way to the bar where he demonstrates his original pouring technique and beyond.
Post-beer, they enjoy some roasted chicken and sanma carpaccio before making moves to their third and final destination… BIER REISE '98. Shizuka and Kai meet Matsuo-san, the owner, as he introduces the history of his bar (which has been operating for 74 years). He demonstrates his original pouring technique to the delight of our hosts, before serving them another round of food including a ground meat cutlet, flame-seared bacon, and a potato croquette.

I’m at Dry Dock because of this video. They mentioned that I’m the first customer that mentioned the video. First beer is absolutely delicious!
You know Shizuka is feeling good when she says “It’s so freaking good”.
Being able to host and not skip a beat on these drinking episodes is example of a true professional.
Aww thank you!! It is tough to keep together toward the end of these drinking videos though for sure! 😂🤣
Learned so much by being a part of this, thank you Shizuka for having me back! 🍻
Thanks for drinking with me, Kai!! 😆🙌🏼
it's funny watching this girl get more and more drunk haha
These drinking videos are always a struggle by the end 😂😂😂
well shizuka is a bonafide beer connoisseur at this point. I now have FOAMO, time to hit the bar and get faded. You are a bad influence shizzy 😝
Please join next time!
The Czech milk pour is actually meant to be drunk bottoms up in one go! Loved watching this video. I wanna see more beer education trips in Japan
LOVE your beer content! The visuals on this were stunning.
Much appreciated!
My bucket list of beer for next trip!, thanks Shizuka....amazing episode......keep doing more about beer in Japan...love it and cheers from Thailand!🍻
I've added some beer spots to my saved Maps locations, thanks!
The last bar definitely has the best and most authentic pour in my opinion. Fast and naturally foamed straight on the beer dripping mat, that's how I like it!
Depending on your preference I'd say use thin edged glass for a crisp experience and thicker round edged glass for the smoother entry.
Love you guys! Shizuka you’re a master at being a host!! I know it’s not the focus of the channel but man a mini series on things to do in Tokyo would be sooo awesome! Could call it Japan by Foot 😉
I'm learning something new watching this channel, Thank you 😊
We are glad to hear that!
Gosh, I really, really enjoyed this segment of Japan by Food, love to know the unique beer culture in Japan. Gosh, I hope one day soon I get to discover and enjoy the unique beer culture of Japan!! Thank you and great work, Shizuka and Kai.
Thank you for watching!
Awesome video friend!! I alwas love them after a long day at work.
so much foam ;) always great to see Shizuka enjoy describe her experiences. Good to see a new face in Kai as well.
He was in our Anime Your Name Video! Check it out to see more of him:)
Loved seeing the beer going in the ice bucket!!!!
That was a FOAM vid guys!!!! 🍺🍻👍🏻
Thank you! We had a lot of foam!
I loved this! Someday ... I can't wait to be there and to try a few of these.
Please do!
Wow, this segment about Japanese beer was really cool and interesting Shizuka! I've never ever heard about the bartender dunking the beer glass into a ice cold water. Man, I want to have a Japanese beer now! Kanpai!🍻
🇩🇪 & 🇯🇵: ultimate 🍻 destinations
😊
reminds me of one of the first videos I saw of Shizuka at a street food area when they poured her cup to the top and I guess the preferred method was to bend down to sip it, gonna go look for that one, these locations look like so much fun though, I do love smooth beer and cutlets
Thank you for being here since the beginning!
Why did I only discover this channel immediately after I returned from Japan?! I want to try the smooth AF beer too!! 😩
I hope you at least drank a bunch of Saki ?
How did you not drink the beer ?
@@1deadhead Oh, believe me, I drank the beer. But now I want to try the specific ones/pour methods featured in this video!
@@Tangerined Good, me to. I’m in the North of Japan now and will be in Tokyo beginning of December. So, you know I’ll be getting some foam 🙃
Where do you find bars like this?
"Saki" lmao what the fuck, how American of you@@1deadhead
This was so interesting to watch (and learn about Japanese Beer Foam?? Who knew?)....also, Girl Friend, at about 21.30 I realized you are properly buzzed! Kanpai!
The right glass is their biggest glass
True.
i drink beer out of the bottle, i didn't know there was so much more into the pour. impressive
There isn't it's just made up fancy bs to sell foam instead of actual beer.
Shizuka was right in her element at the dry dock 🍻and i noticed she had a great navy themed dress worn as well 👗💝💗🍺 awesome episode japan by food team.
On point!
If I ever make it to Tokyo, I’ll give these bars a try. Looks great.
Please do!
Awesome sauce!
Great video Shizuka and Kai! Did you know menchi was introduced by the Portuguese many many years ago when Japan first opened its borders? The name just means "mince" haha!
We had NO IDEA! Thanks for letting us know!
definitely a place to go when i travel to Japan
As a beer enjoyer thanks for this episode also 11:14 that has to be the best head I’ve seen on a beer!! And Matsuo’s story was amazing.
You're not much of a beer enjoyer if you enjoy seeing a glass served 60% full with a bunch of fucking bubbles on top
I heard a theory once that the fluffy head may be due to the CO2/Nitro mix theyre using and so that's probably why you'll almost never see a head like that in the US where CO2 % used is likely higher. Also the real Matsuo pour looked nothing like that one.
Another example of Japanese excellence! They all looked like great places to eat and have a cold one.😋
Please visit!
Best episode ever! They totally over did it and passed out just after the outro lol.
You got us!
They never had a beer before and they downed three sips that day. Subarashi Sukoi!, neh, neh, neh....Barrrrffff!!!!
Today I learned a lot of foaming techniques! Seriously foams!
Gonna try them all this week
Let us know how you like it!
It ain't Monday yet, if I haven't seen shizuka chan smile 😊
Amazing. 🎉
Great to see Kai again! I'm, unfortunately, allergic to beer so I'd be ordering other cocktails and really enjoying the small plates. What fun beer hop!
Glas full of foam? In germany you will be arrreted by police instant 😂 Great video, thx beerlover ❤❤❤ from Germany ❤❤❤
Mliko pours are divine
wow very interesting experience friend
Yes, thank you!
It would be a blast to get a buzz 🐝 with Shizuka. 🍺🍺🍺
Shizuka got really high and happy from the beer!
Someone I know recently combined Maple Syrup & buttered Popcorn thinking it would taste like caramel popcorn. It didn’t and they don’t recommend anyone else do it either.
You are my favourite youtuber food
. alcoholic beer 🍺 🍻 😊🎉🎉
Shizuka's great beauty knowns no bounds
Thank you for posting this. I needed something to cheer me up since I got food poisoning last night and I've been spending my birthday today in bed because I feel like garbage
Hope you recovered!!!
and also happy birthday!!!
@@JapanbyFood Thank you, I'm pretty much all good now. My only problem is that I can't say I'm in my early 30's now since I turned 36 lol
Shizuka was getting so hyper by the end of the vid lol 😂
What a great bar crawl!
Japan produces quality beer & also whiskey.
Greetings from Hamburg Lohbrügge, Deutschland.
Hello back! Thank you!
@@JapanbyFood
Hello, & Thank you for the awesome presentation. 😊
Like the dunk is going to change then temp of the beer lmfao these gaijin so happy
We all know Shizzy loves a beer!
I’ve been unknowingly doing a matsuo pour at my restaurant this whole time
How cool!
This was one of the best episodes 🍺
Congratulations 🎉
I will be visiting all 3 places❤
Good channel. 👍❤️
Thanks for visiting!
Drinking beer, this video topic must have been Shizuka idea. 😁
Salud ...!!!!
Cheers!
This is why I love Japanese people. They are so worldly. Mr. Sato went all the way to the Czech Republic just to learn a beer pouring technique. You'll be lucky to be served simple cold beer, here in Canada. It's almost always warm. 🤢
Sato pour was great!
Gotta say, as an Australian beer nerd drinking NEIPAs - in Japan, even low cost every day beers tasted great at Matsuyas because of the secondary foam tap pull that delivered the creamy head. Would love to see the technology adopted here!
How great! Thanks for telling us!
Thanks to Asahi for sponsoring these beer videos….
We could not be more grateful:P
Dope.
Thank you!
will drop the name!
Shizuka is now an expert on beer
She could teach Canadian brewers a thing or two
No she could not. Everything she tastes is Subarashhhhhiiiiiiii Oichiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
Intresting video about beer foam. Shizuka is a great host. But he background music makes it difficult to hear what they are saying. Please turn it down. I'm always learning something new watching this channel, Thank you
21:30 man is in heaven
If you've been in Europe, you know how important the pour is. Great to see this technique radiate!
Yep in Germany you can start again if you serve foam instead of beer but what do we know about beer...
happy birthday shizuka!
Aww thank you!! 🥰❤️
Tasty foam!
Yes it was!
I would beer foam it so good!!! 😍😊😅🍻🍺
Gotta love the drinking content here 😄
Hehe, a lot of drinking lately!
Japanese have great passion 😊
There is a Japanese-style lager that’s featured at my local micro-brewery called “Gaijin Dream.” It’s terribly well-balanced, with just a hint of something citrus at the back-end. If you ever find yourself in Oregon, I’ll buy the first round. 🍻🇯🇵🙇♂️
What is the reason for dunking? Doesnt make sense when its already cold
My armchair analysis thinks it’s to sustain coldness a little or to clean the glass of all the foam that just poured out.
@@urbanimgstudio4104 still doesn't make sense at all
It’s to maintain a very specific crisp temperature that affects the consistency of the foam!
hiii 飛常多謝 thank you so much. I am working and love food and drink life.. you open my eyes once again...I learn and open my mind again..
🍺🍺🍻
Shizuka: foam tastes good with beer
It really does, though:D
this is new for me, awesome!
Damn I feel like a beer now, and I don’t even drink
Been said before , but too much foam in UK , drinkers will not be happy 😂.
Great episode as usual!! The guy Kai is an absolute SNOOZE though, should have had on a different friend!! 😂
There is one thing you have got to learn about our movement. Three people are better than no people.
That is some thicc foam
This video was Foam to watch :D
Glad you had foam!
i love ur youtube channel ill go to japan 1 day right now i have a 1 year old ints not possible@@JapanbyFood
ty for all ur videos from Sweden :D@@JapanbyFood
Who else was drinking beer and watching this?
Shizukaaaaaaa
🥰🥰🥰
The spout shouldn't be touching the liquid...
He had accidentally hacked into his company's server.
Thx but I'd rather drink beer instead of foam... that's kind of like choosing your coffee by the added type of milk instead of the roast.
🍻😊🙏
He was 100% into fasting with her until he understood that meant he couldn't eat.
Be less curious about people and more curious about ideas.
It took him 20 years of apprenticeship of pouring to perfect his craft.
Wasted life?
Slow Learner.
Fizzuka Anderfoam
... Drinking beer ... that are liqor glasses
no
That Gun Free Zone sign threw me off 😂 seeing how it's banned for 99% of Japan population. That sign is as effective as it is in the US.....😂 no effect but helps you FEEL safe.
TMF=Too Much Foam and that is tmf
I saw a cooking video on here youtube earlier today and the guy used sake to drain the blood of a turtle. I don't think you would do that in beer. tho
:O
why is there the second host? I don't think that adds anything to the format.
It’s no fun to drink alone! 😆
Not into foams in my beers.
Don’t knock it til you’ve tried some in Japan!
i wonder if Kai scored with Shizuka afterwards ;)
Hello Japan By Food. I would beer foam it with Shizzy & Kai real good!!! 😊🍻🍺
Let's do it next time!:)
Don't smother each other. No one can grow in the shade.
