The Most Unique Dining Experience in Tokyo

Japan is famous for its food but there is one dining style that gets overlooked by many tourists and that's robatayaki join me today as I try some of the freshest food and unique experiences Japan has to offer hello and welcome to Tipsy my name is Sky and I will be your guide today as we head into robat in Shinjuku so this is a robatayaki restaurant which I've never actually tried before so it's a really unique way of eating some amazing food here in Japan and I'm so excited to share this experience with you if you like videos like this you should think about giving us a subscribe and let's check this out so we're in the restaurant now and it's got a very traditional Vibe so immediately as soon as you come down the stairs before you enter you have to take your shoes off which is very traditionally Japanese but also just the decor in here and the atmosphere from the traditional Japanese music to the fact that everything seems to be made of wood and the way that the staff are dressed as well it's very traditionally Japanese one of the great things about this restaurant is their large sake menu so you have quite a selection here they also have a flight option as well and even the owner's personal recommendations so if you love sake this is a good restaurant so we ordered a sake flight and this first one here is from Yamagata Prefecture and it's called yuru cheerful and it's nigori which means it's not completely nigori and you can tell it's not totally cloudy it's just a little bit cloudy and I'm super excited to try this campai that is so good good that's really fruity and smooth okay that's really easy to drink which as you know is a dangerous thing for saki to be going to have some more oh yeah that's so good the first dish has arrived and it's an assortment of different sashimi and I will explain which each one is as we go through and try them but look how fresh and gorgeous these look it's absolutely insane the first fish I'm going to try is actually called Suzuki and I had to check what this was in English but it's basically Japanese Sea bath and I don't think I've ever had that before so let's go for it that's so fresh it just dissolves on your tongue I think I chewed it maybe twice not even that perfect the next thing I'm going to eat is a a Japanese classic and that is tuna Sashimi but you can see how red and fresh this is the color is absolutely incredible and I'm going to cover it in soy sauce and wasabi before I eat it that is so fresh and beautiful wow I like how thick it is as well I would say it's the perfect thickness you're not getting too much of the fish it's lovely and balanced I am about to try try Su sake from Ki prefecture with Bonito Sashimi which is also from Ki prefecture because the two of them together must be good right it also helps that this sake is designed for fish so I'm excited to see how well they go together such a beautiful glass that's a good combination definitely this is quite a rich sake which is interesting I didn't expect a rich sake to go so well with fish but it does it's an absolutely amazing combination oh this sake here Su you can actually get it from the Tipsy so if you are looking for the perfect sake to pair with fish head over to Tipsy and we have got you covered this is oine from Kuma motal prefecture and you can actually see it prepared in front of you from start to finish and the best part about robotaki is they hand it to you on this big wooden paddle which is so interesting and so unique but this looks delicious you can see the Bonito flakes just dancing on it let's try the oine it's so so juicy and fresh and with the addition of the ginger and the soy sauce it really adds that extra bit of flavor to it that's delicious it's so simple but so [Music] delicious this fish is kinky and wow look at this this is incredible I can't think of any other place where you could enjoy fish so fresh that it looks like this and it smells amazing as well just the smell of it is making my mouth water I can't wait to try it this fish is already seasoned so it has salt and a little bit of nauy in it as well so Japanese seaweed and if you look closely you can kind of see it you can see the salt with the little Flex of seaweed smells so good oh my God [Music] oh my gosh it's kind of buttery oh my gosh it's buttery and soft it's not going to overwhelming fishy flavor either so if you don't like the strong flavor of white fish this is a good choice let try it with some sake oh yeah this definitely is the perfect sake for fish so when I said this fish was buttery I mean it doesn't flake like white fish does if you've ever had fresh white fish you can tell that it's fresh by the way it kind of Flakes and falls apart this one doesn't it has a very unique texture but it is so so lovely and fresh this restaurant has absolutely everything cuz our next dish is wag you beef and you have three different choices of how to season it so you have salt Wasabi and my personal favorite right here which is Yama Wasabi literally Mountain Wasabi and if you've never had it before I highly recommend it I have the beef with a little bit of yamama Wasabi here we go that is so thick and juicy and cooked to absolute perfect affection that is insanely good if you love meat I don't think you can die before trying this impossible you have to try this it's incredible it's lifechanging so most people think that sake goes well with very light dishes very traditional dishes like Japanese seafood but sake kind of works in a similar way to Wine in the sense that there is also Rich sake that works really well with meat and cheese in the same way that red wine is usually considered richer and works well with meat and cheese it's the same with Japanese sake so I have some warm s here Shin CH from gar prefecture and it's meant to work perfectly with meat good thing we have that wagy beef here to try it with so let's do it campai that just calm me instantly calmed me so yeah this is definitely a more Rich starc so I can see why it goes perfectly with meat it is honestly the perfect match but it's also very calming and I don't know if that's because it's warm or because that richness is just so smooth but either way I recommend this especially with meat that's the end of our time here today what a wonderful and unique experience I had here definitely if you come to Japan you have to try robatayaki it's such an interesting way to enjoy authentic Japanese Cuisine everything was so fresh and so delicious and the sake was fantastic anyway thank you so much for watching and I will see you soon
