We found this newly opened dessert spot called SALSWEE, offering French style desserts and Viennoiseries, as well as some savory items like sandwiches. They are said to be an expansion of Chinese bakery in Flushing Queens called Shakalaka Bakery, but the menu offering is quite different. I would say the owner decided to open up […]

Coffee Tengoku
While we were in Japan during the winter, we spend a day in Asakusa. After having a small-ish breakfast at Misojyu and walked around the vibrant streets of Asakusa, we were ready for some brunch-type food. We went during an off-season and off peak-time, so there was no line. Depending on the time and season, […]
MISOJYU
While we were in Japan during the past winter, we decided to go to Asakusa area for a day. I found this interesting spot called MISOJYU, focused on Miso Soup, and wanted to go there for breakfast. Unfortunately, the main Asakusa location was closed for the holidays, and have not yet reopened for the year […]
Tonkatsu Maisen
While we were in Tokyo, we wanted to go to interesting places to eat. After walking over to the spot I wanted to try, and finding out that they have not yet opened for the year, we had to go find another restaurant nearby. That is the challenge for when traveling at the end of […]
Restaurant YUU
We had one of the best foods from MIFUNE New York. The Executive Chef, who is an acquaintance of my gourmet sister’s best friend. Everything we had was so good, we went back for more, and then again! I took my mother there while she was vising us here in NYC, and also, my in-laws. […]
Tsukishima Monja Moheji
The last tasty spot my gourmet sister took us to was a fun dinner spot called Tsukishima Monja Moheji. People nowadays might know one of the traditional Japanese comfort food, Okonomiyaki. We can get them in NYC too, from a spot like DokoDemo. Monja is similar, but it is not solid as okonomiyaki. You will […]
Takemura
This is another cool place my gourmet sister took us for some traditional sweets. Takemura was founded in 1930, survived the war and all! It is one of the Tokyo’s “Select Historic Building” which I can totally understand. According to the information from their website, they “started their business since there was no authentic shiruko-ya, […]
Gyukatsu Motomura
We went back to Japan once again during the winter, and yes, we had loads of great food. The first spot we went was Gyukatsu Motomura in Tokyo. They have many locations throughout Japan, and we went to the one located in Akihabara. It was interesting to see the Akihabara today, and yes, it is […]
The Glass Onion
Around the Christmas holiday season, we went to The Glass Onion in Cape Cod for dinner. It was a cozy restaurant, smaller than I thought it would be. The inside was relaxing atmosphere with earthy tone. They had a fully stocked bar near the entrance. Since we had a reservation, and it was not busy […]
Amuse Bouche Bistro
Another great place we went in the Fall of 2023…Amuse Bouche Bistro! I was looking for a more casual place, and I found this lovely spot. But, I must admit, I was a bit confused as I approached the address. I didn’t see a building or anything that could like a small restaurant or an […]
