Here is a little different post, not food related one, but certainly interesting topic. One place my husband was VERY curious about was one of those animal/pet cafes. There are Cat Cafe and Puppy Cafe elsewhere nowadays outside of Japan, but they still have unique animal/pet cafe only in Japan. One of them is Hedgehog […]
After having an awesome breakfast at Junkissa PanEsu, we looked for a lunch spot that is as awesome. We walked by Tokyo Tarako spaghetti a day before, and it was packed with people waiting outside. We went over around 11am, and it was still quiet. The entrance is on the second floor, so we walked […]
After a day full of delicious eats with my gourmet sister, I casually mentioned to her that we haven’t decided where to go for breakfast the next morning. She sent me her recommendation, and of course we trusted her 100%. So, when we got up, we went looking for this spot called Junkissa PanEsu. We […]
On the day we spent with my gourmet sister in Tokyo, she took us to a really interesting place called Tofu Shokudo. We like tofu, as it is tasty, healthy, and has lots of benefits as well. Rich in high quality protein, vitamins, and dietary fiber. Tofu Shokudo is unique in a sense that they […]
While we were in Japan at the beginning of 2023, my sister took us to Hayashiya Chaen in Meguro, Tokyo. They focus on Japanese tea, and also serves desserts made with their special teas. From reading about them, they want to serve the “real” tea to their customers, without dressing it up, just simple, pure, […]
While we were in Japan over the winter holidays, we stayed a couple of nights in Tokyo. On our first night there, we were walking around, looking for a place for dinner. After going to a spot that has not opened for the new year just yet, we kept walking around, until we found this […]
One of our favorite spots to get some clothes would definitely be UNIQLO. We have gone to so many UNIQLO shops everywhere. While we were visiting Japan, my sister told us about UNIQLO COFFEE at the newly renovated flagship store in Ginza. The coffee shop opened in 2021, and I heard their coffee and snacks […]
The very first restaurant we visited during our trip to Japan was a brand new restaurant callled Mokichi Kamakura. They are owned and operated by a Sake Brewery (how cool is that?), and this is their newest Mokichi location, just opened in December of 2022. My brother from another mother took us to this spot, […]
After about 3 and a half years later, we finally were able to go back to Japan! It was a long time coming… And yes, we had some amazing meals in Japan! One of the best culinary experiences we’ve had was at a restaurant called NUAGE ET VENT, which means Cloud and Wind. The name […]
I heard that a new Japanese bowl spot was opening up in East Village, so I was excited to go try them out. I didn’t do much research on this establishment beforehand, and I somehow was under the impression that they are a “Japanese eatery” serving Japanese food. I then discovered they serve bowls with […]
