Many of these establishments are multigenerational, and they carry on the spirit of the Happy Road.

Shizuka is my favourite host, loved her episodes on Sonny's best ever food review show
-
Shizuka is such a calm, respectful host for this show! She really brings out the nice qualities of the people she speaks to, as well. All of that, and she still has the grace of an angel!
-
What an amazing channel! I love how you're showing super local places that not a lot of other food vloggers cover. I'm tired of seeing the same old conveyor belt sushi/Ichiran in every vlog so this is a breath of fresh air.
-
Just as I was thinking about how much of a messy eater I am and how well Shizuka is doing, the ginger gyoza happened. Lol ❤️ this episode.
-
Shizuka is such an entertaining host. I enjoyed this video.
-
My childhood home town😍 My house was located in front takes 20-30 seconds walk to happy road. But is expensive to live there cause you always need to pass by happy road when going out or going home. I miss this 😥 The man selling crepe was the best memories I had with my sister. He always greet us whenever he saw us walking. He have the best crepe❤
-
That the Meat Arai manager would make some signage and a quote based off his favorite band is pretty awesome. Makes me want to visit his shop since I'm a Metallica fan as well.
-
OMG..... I want to try the food at ALL of these places. Favorite episode so far. I could spend the entire day eating there.
-
Somehow stumbled upon this video and I was super impressed. It's showing quite a few stores without feeling rushed and it's just a very pleasant experience to watch. All the food looks good and the shop owner's idea to put a hand made inari shrine to stop trash being dumped in the area was genius
-
Shizuka handling that dumpling with grace 😉. Sad that many traditions will end when a generation retires.
-
Do you like Japanese shopping arcades? What do you think the future holds for these places?
-

You have a big appetite Shizuka. your dress is very pretty and those Dumplings look divine!
-
During the Meat Arai segment, Shizuka missed the chance to say to the owner he must’ve loved the song Enter “Sand” Man. 🤪
-
Great video as usual! Love the music choices. Those gyoza looked so good!
