Experience the Flavors of Shizuoka with Manatsu Akimoto

Autumn Akimoto, a beloved figure in Japanese pop culture, shines as she embarks on a delightful journey through Shizuoka, Japan. Her recent adventure showcases the charm of local cuisine and traditional craftsmanship, captured in her YouTube series, "Yurufuwa Time," presented in collaboration with JA Town.

On May 13, Manatsu visited two notable locations—Sunpu Rakuichi and Shizuoka's Meat Shop, Shizuoka Sodachi—where she explored shopping opportunities and savored high-quality beef. This exciting episode features her recommendations, from fragrant Shizuoka tea to delicious mandarin juice.

A Visit to Sunpu Rakuichi

The historical significance of the market, along with the integration of modern shopping experiences, brings a delightful contrast that embodies the spirit of Shizuoka.

Enjoying Exquisite Shizuoka Beef

Moving on to Shizuoka's Meat Shop, Shizuoka Sodachi, Manatsu indulged in the remarkably tender and flavorful Shizuoka beef, renowned for its quality and unique taste, resulting from the region's mild climate and premium farming techniques.
