I am always curious and eater to find a Japanese or Japanese-inspired food scenery wherever I go. Here in Philly, I found this spot called Tuna Bar who had some interesting sushi rolls. So, we went over to check it out. I was in a new, modern looking building. With the wall facing the street […]

As a dessert lover, I have always been curious about this dessert festival, Dessert Goals. I didn’t get to purchase the ticket last year before all the ticket got sold out within minutes…so, this year, I was ready and I got the tickets! Also, they doubled up on their tickets, which helped as well. I […]
While traveling in Philly, we found an interesting Japanese restaurant called Royal Izakaya. It has a certain speakeasy feel to it, with no name or address on the door. Other than beautiful dark blue door against red brick wall, the only sign they have is a glowing red lantern that says “Izakaya” in Japanese. It […]
There is something exciting about a pop-up restaurant that is only going to be available for a short time. We found a Japanese pop-up restaurant from Tokyo called Shinsuke, taking over Kajitsu restaurant for a short time. After learning a bit about Shinsuke, we got very curious and decided to go. We made it on […]
I love desserts. There is no way I can live my life without desserts every now and then. If I didn’t have to worry about my weight or health, I will have them every day, for breakfast, lunch and dinner… And if it can be a Japanese sweets, even better! The great thing about NYC […]
After having such amazing time at Mifune the first visit (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/mifune-new-york/ ), we went back for more! We got there shortly after they opened for the evening, so we were one of the first few customers. The interior was as beautiful and tranquil as before. We started off with champagne, […]
Going to shopping for Japanese groceries at Mitsuwa and get some Japanese food while we are there has become one of our fun weekend activity. We don’t do that every weekend, but when we do, the first thing we talk about is “from which place are we going to get food from this time?” We […]
This is our second visit to Inakaya (you can read about our first visit here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/inakaya/). We had a good time the last visit during NYC Restaurant Week, so we were excited to go back for the second time. We both ordered their Inakaya Course ($70/person) that comes with six course, including a dessert. We started […]
This spot has been on my radar for a while, since it bears Japanese name, and it is a curry restaurant! I love Japanese curry, but yet this restaurant is located in Korean Town… So, is it Japanese or Korean restaurant??? So I ventured out to find out the answer for myself! From what I […]
