Japanese locals don’t usually find their favorite restaurants the same way tourists do, and this lesson shows you how to search like a local in Japan. Mochi sensei explains why many popular tourist spots end up being foreigner-heavy, then teaches a simple Instagram method for discovering real local restaurants with Japanese hashtags like #東京グルメ, #大阪グルメ, #渋谷グルメ, and #札幌グルメ.

You’ll also see how to use the restaurant name or address from a Japanese caption, then paste it into Google Maps to save the spot for later. The video highlights real examples from places like Kumamoto and Sapporo, where the food, seafood, uni, ikura, and even Hokkaido milk ice cream make the search feel like a true Japan food adventure. It also includes useful Japanese restaurant phrases for when there’s no English menu.

Created for anyone searching for Japan travel tips, Tokyo food guide, Osaka gourmet spots, local Japanese restaurants, and Japanese language learning at restaurants. It’s a practical guide for travelers who want authentic dining, better service, and a more memorable food experience in Japan.

00:00Hi everyone in the world!
00:01Yahoo! Minna! Mochi-sensei desu!
00:04Today's video is something I really want people who are traveling to Japan to watch.
00:10I actually wanted to speak entirely in English so more people could understand it.
00:16But since my channel is for Japanese learners, I'm going to speak in Japanese.
00:22If you'd like to hear it in English, please turn on the English subtitles or use autodubbing.
00:30So, today's video is how to find Japanese restaurants.
00:40This is quite difficult, isn't it?
00:44Actually, there are many foreign tourists who are traveling to Japan to watch the restaurant.
00:50It's not a foreign restaurant.
00:54There are many that are� out there in Japan.
01:03There are many people who are in Japanese.
01:03I'm so surprised.
01:05The Japanese people come to Japan.
01:09Where are they?
01:10It's a lot of foreign tourists before the restaurant.
01:15There are many foreigners laws that come to Japan and see them.
01:16There are many foreigners in Japan.
01:22It's a lot of foreigners.
01:24and there are many names that I've heard from.
01:31And so, the menu is mostly English.
01:36It's not good for the taste of this restaurant, but the price is a little higher.
01:41It's a lot of places that come from Japan.
01:44I came to Japan from the United States from Japan.
01:47I said, I want to go to this restaurant.
01:53So I went to Japan.
01:57But I was surprised.
02:00The customers are all foreigners.
02:03The Japanese are only me.
02:06What?
02:08This is really Japan?
02:09It was a little strange feeling.
02:13But it was so high.
02:15Why did you make this video?
02:20When I came to Japan, I would like to go to a restaurant in Japan.
02:27It would be fun and delicious.
02:33It was a good place to go to Japan.
02:36It was a good place to go to Japan.
02:38It's a good place to go to Japan.
02:48It's really bad for Japan.
02:49But the Japanese restaurant was completely different.
02:55So today, I will teach you how to go to Japan.
03:02I will teach you how to go to Japan.
03:09I will teach you how to go to Japan.
03:11So let's look at the end of the video.
03:16First, local restaurant.
03:19I recommend you to Instagram.
03:23I'm already using it.
03:25But you probably search in English.
03:29For example, Tokyo Food or Japan Restaurant.
03:33I will teach you how to go to Japan.
03:39So, it becomes extreme.
03:43I am not going to use American restaurants.
03:46If you want to see Japanese food or the internet,
03:49I am not going to search for Japan's sake.
03:54I am very easy.
03:56Hashtag in the end of the day, and then click on the search button.
04:05For example,
04:07Tokyo is a Tokyo-gul-me.
04:11Osaka is a Osaka-gul-me.
04:15Let's search for Tokyo-gul-me.
04:20It's so delicious, right?
04:22But it's a lot of Japanese people.
04:27It's a lot of local people.
04:32Caption has a company's name and location.
04:36Of course, Caption is all Japanese, but you can see it on the screen.
04:53Screenshotして翻訳アプリで見てもいいし、名前をコピーしてGoogleマップに貼り付ければすぐ場所もわかるよ。
05:09東京みたいに広い場所だと、駅の名前を入れるのもおすすめ。例えば、渋谷グルメ、新宿グルメ、浅草グルメとかね。
05:25こうやって探すと、そのエリアのローカルのお店がたくさん出てきます。私は新しい場所に行くとき、必ずこの方法でレストランを探すよ。
05:47この前、初めて熊本に行ったときも、熊本グルメとインスタグラムで検索した。地元の人ばかりのお店を見つけて、味も本当に美味しくて、接客もとっても優しくて、本当にいい思い出になりました。
06:12じゃあ、今度は私の大好きな、北海道札幌を見てみよう。札幌グルメ札幌は本当に、何を食べても全部美味しいよね。そして特に海鮮が有名です。これは私の大好きなウニ。何ここ
06:16?絶対行きたい。住所チェックして保存しなきゃ。
06:24デザートも食べたいよね。北海道のミルクアイスは、死ぬほどうまい。そしてここ。
06:54ここは私も行ったことあるんだけど、めちゃくちゃ美味しくて楽しかったから、おすすめ。大好きなイクラが山盛り食べれるこのお店は、
07:09札幌八郷だよ。最後に、ローカルレストランには英語メニューがないことが多いです。でも、心配いらないよ。
07:17この2つのフレーズさえ覚えれば大丈夫。おすすめなんですか
07:18?repeat after me
07:25おすすめなんですか?どれが人気ですか
07:30?どれが人気ですか
07:33?もう1回。どれが人気ですか?
07:52このフレーズを言えば、店員さんが優しく教えてくれます。というわけで、今日は日本人が実際に行くローカルレストランの見つけ方を紹介しました。
08:18日本に来たら、ぜひ日本語のハッシュタグで検索して、地元の人が通うお店を体験してみてね。その方がずっと楽しいし、美味しいです。最後まで見てくれてありがとう。このビデオが好きでは、チャンネル登録をお願いいたします。次のビデオでお会いしましょう。またねー!
