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 […]
I found this lovely spot from my parents in 2019. I was so looking forward to revisiting Kamameshi Hana when we return to Japan. Finally after a long wait due to pandemic, we got to go back to Japan and to Kamameshi Hana! Japan is still very careful with the virus, so most people are […]
I know, you are wondering why I am writing about the place that is now closed since we visited in January 2023? Well, they still have shops, pop up stores, markets, and park. You never know when they re-open the Moomin Cafe again! (Hoping and wishing bigtime here). We made it to the Solamachi location […]
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 […]
If you’ve read my blogs enough, you will know my love for Speakeasies, like the The Little Shop and The Honey Well in NYC. There are other Speakeasy type of spots, which are more of a restaurants rather than bars. Sushi Lab Rooftop is kind of a Speakeasy restaurant, as it is a bit hidden […]

There is a little shop in Chinatown that focuses on fluffy Japanese baked cheese tarts, and […]
When I heard that a new Japanese restaurant focusing on meat dishes just opened up, I had to go check them out immediately! The restaurant is called Prime Meat Rokko, and the owner has a few restaurant (mostly yakiniku restaurants) in Japan. From doing a quick research on Prime Meat Rokko, this restaurant seems to […]
It seems like this year was the year of mochi donuts. We tried some mochi donuts from The Dough Club towards the beginning of the year, and since then, I started to see this “Pon de Ring” style mochi donuts popping up at other places. When we heard that there is a popular mochi donut […]
One place we always go to when we visit Japan is Kappa Sushi. Japan is full of fun sushi place that delivers sushi plates on conveyor belts, called Kaiten Sushi. I have seen a few places like that in NYC come and go, but never had a chance to try one anywhere in the US. […]
After having some desserts in LES, we decided to go get some drinks. I suggested that we should have some “real” food, since we only had some desserts. After doing some research on where to go, my hubby found a perfect spot. We love going to Izakaya, like Izakaya Mew, which is a Japanese pub with […]
