24 Hours of ‘Japanized’ Foods (Matcha Naan, Natto Rice?! 😨) | Japan byFood

Japan byFood together with Shizuka are on another 24-hour mission to eat only Japan’s most mind-blowing fusion foods! While the country is world-famous for its traditional cuisine, we are exploring how Japanese flavors collide with the rest of the world. Think of an Indian naan filled with matcha (you read it right), natto-mixed Chinese fried rice, and Italian “napolitan” pasta. Are these fusion creations better than the originals? Let’s find out!

  1. I like Matcha…as a tea and as ice-cream.
    But now they are mixing Matcha with EVERYTHING! Even there is Matcha Beer now available.
    Honestly speaking, I don't like that.
    Businesses use the Matcha Hype just to make money and to attrack and pull tourists into every single nonsense-matcha-thing.
    And additional…I hate Natto!…😂

  2. 新しいVlogだ、嬉しい!今週も楽しみにしてました。Japan by Foodのみなさん、ハッピーマンデー!

  3. Which of these fusions would you be brave enough to try first? Is there a 'Japanized' dish we missed? Let us know below! 👇

  4. I saw the title and thought it said Matcha Man. Now there's a nonexistent song in my head… Got to be a Matcha MATCHA MAN! 🤣
    Yes probably the most random comment ever,

  5. i would try all those funky combos. The last one is funny…i'm gonna lay some natto on top of fried rice and sample that. 😅

  6. We were on vacation in Japan three weeks ago. After a week of trying different foods, we finally tried the spaghetti. We loved it. We had it twice during our vacation

  7. "Matcha Naan"? ….was thinking that there would be some connection to the "Village People"! Shall we say this left me "Naan-plused"?
