Japan by Food
ByFood makes videos that spotlight Japanese chefs and craftspeople, seasonal food trends, and local Japanese culture (with a few fun food challenges thrown into the mix)!
ABOUT BYFOOD:
ByFood is Japan’s one-stop food platform. With the most extensive variety of Japanese food experiences on the internet, byFood strives to offer rare experiences and make Japanese food accessible to more people, with options like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, Halal, and Kosher experiences. In doing so, byFood brings locals and visitors together through food and celebrates Japanese cuisine.
ByFood also gives to children in need through our Food for Happiness Program. And you can help, too! When you book an experience on byFood, a portion of the proceeds go toward NGOs that support children in developing countries, giving them access to necessities like nutritious meals, schools, and housing.

Ever wondered how Japan makes 30,000 bentos every single day?
We went behind the scenes with Shizuka for an exclusive look inside a real Japanese bento factory — from giant batches of cooking to the incredibly precise ekiben assembly line.
It’s a rare peek into the craft behind the meals you see in train stations across Japan.

Hi Japan by Food Fam 🐙
Today we'll be doing a LIVESTREAM at our usual posting time!
Shizuka and Leina will introduce some Japanese treats that make great gifts to bring back to your family and friends. It'll be a chance for you to also ask a few questions about Japanese food and anything else you may be wondering about!
The video will remain available after the stream is over, in case it's hard for you to join live.

Hi Japan by Food Fam ✨
Please note that there will be no new video on Monday, June 2. And no, this doesn't mean Shizuka is going anywhere! We just came back from a week of filming fresh new food content for you, and we can't wait to share it 🍣
This is just a little break we're taking while we sort out the rest of our summer content. Take this as a chance to catch up on some recent videos if you haven't already!
As always, thank you ALL for your continuous support! You can look forward to some more food adventures in Japan coming your way soon!

Hi Japan by Food Fam 🍣
How do we all feel about a LIVESTREAM with Shizuka?
We’re thinking of having a classic Q&A segment plus some taste tests.

Every day is a good day to celebrate your relationship, right? 💕 In a recent video, Shizuka tested what's often considered the most romantic Tokyo date idea. See her reaction and book this experience for yourself!
