  1. Thanks for tuning in! We are introducing our new series, Hidden Bites where we explore hidden food gems in different neighborhoods with a local expert. This time we meet Hiroshi, a ramen expert in Tokyo. Where should we go next? 🚀

  2. This guy has so much rizz its coming out of his butt. Bring him back please! Great job Hiroshi-san!

  3. Awesome, fun guide! Great personality. 😀 Will definitely check those ramen spots out next time I'm back in Tokyo!

  4. I got to stay in Hatagaya during my first Japan trip. It's still one of my favorite neighborhoods in Tokyo. Small town vibes only 2 stops away from Shinjuku.

  5. This is nice different approach from shizu but still good he really knows the owner and the people adds more context to the story more vids like this please!

  6. They don’t wanna touch the money everytime and wash their hands but how is that different from touching the ticket that the customer touched after touching money

  7. Lovely video…. Japan has so much to offer. I can say one thing for sure – people in Japan are rare.. they are the most loving caring and respectful people I have ever seen. After spending time there… I came back with so much of humility…and I still bow in front of people (guess Japan is not going anytime soon from my mind and heart)… how I wish that I could have settled there knowing such amazing culture and people of course ❤️

  8. i really like Shimakage-san! he's cool and chill and i wanna go to a skate park with him for some reason, even though i don't even skateboard 😂😂😂
