One of the benefits of flying with JAL in Premium Economy is that we get to have access to their airport lounges, Air France Lounge at JFK Airport (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/air-france-lounge-jfk/), and Sakura Lounge at Narita Airport. I first used Sakura Lounge in 2015 (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/jal-sakura-lounge/), and this is […]
Before we went to Japan, we saw a TV clip of this place in Tokyo Station. We really, really wanted to go there, so made sure that we will be in Tokyo station one morning. I heard that they get lines in the morning, even before they open up at 7am. We didn’t go quite […]
One of the thing that everyone gets curious about when traveling via plane is, what kind of food are they serving on the plane? Well, at least I do. I wrote about the food on plane of All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL) in 2015 (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/food-on-plane-ana-jal/ ). It […]
When I first heard about this restaurant opening up in NYC this Summer, I was very excited. But, didn’t really make my way over there until now. Even though I was very curious, I didn’t feel any immediate need or desire to check out their simple teppanyaki-style food, and also, I heard some say that […]
One of the fun food specialty in Japan is Bento Box. They have so many different kinds by so many different vendors. Yes you can get them from convenient stores and such, but there are still some old-fashion bento shop that has been in a business for over 100 years! We went to one of […]
One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in NYC is Bohemian. (You can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/bohemian/ and here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/bohemian-2/ ). After I first visited Bohemian several years ago, I got connected to Bohemian Nishiazabu in Japan. When we finally got to visit Bohemian Nishiazabu (You can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/bohemian-nishiazabu/). We went back for the […]
We first discovered Isogiya in 2015 (You can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/isogiya/), we became a fan of this spot. It is located next to the fish market, and because of that, they get all sorts of super fresh seafood! The exterior, or rather, the signs and decoration on the outside had changed, to more […]
One of my favorite theaters is iPic Theater (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights/ and here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/ipic-theater-hudson-lights-2/ ). There is a huge restaurant connected to the theater, who also serves food in the theater. Even though we ordered food off the in-theater dining menu, we never actually dined in the restaurant. So, we decided to have an […]
This shop is one of the local’s secret gem, it is a this traditional Japanese confectionery and sweets store. It has the old-fashion exterior that matches their offerings. It is kind of interesting to see this type of building surrounded by more modern apartment complexes. Inside it nice and large, with so many different kind […]
During our visit to Japan, one of the top places we wanted to go was Ghibli Museum, and dine at their Straw Hat Café. We are a big fan of their animated films, and I heard such great things about this museum from my family. The admission ticket is not easy to get, so we […]
