Mr. Kamiya opened its door in 1880 as the first “Bar” in Japan. They are famous for their history, and their special cocktail called “Denki-Bran” in the iconic cocktail glass. It is so cool that the oldest bar in Japan still exists, at the same location! They have a show window with their food and […]
After a fun beer tasting at Craft Beer Bar IBrew, we went over to this spot for dinner. My sister knows good food, so we were excited to try whatever they had to offer. It is located on the third floor of NOCO building, and you can see their open kitchen from the entrance. The […]

There is a new restaurant opening up in NYC almost every week. The best time to try them is when they are just starting up, before they get too popular and too busy. I found this new Japanese restaurant, without the name up on the awnings just yet. It is called “Chochin” and is an […]
This is my second review of Tampopo Ramen (you can read my first review by going here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/tampopo-ramen/) Since we had such nice food at Tampopo Ramen a few month ago, we decided to go back for some more.
