There are so many “Izakaya” in Japan, with all different kinds and offerings. There are the kinds that people go with lots of friends for a very fun (and a bit noisy) time, there are the ones where smoking is still permitted, and there are others with a bit more upper class, with dimmed lights […]
One thing I love about Japanese cuisine is their sweets. They really do great job with pastries and all sorts of desserts. It is somehow more delicate, light, and never overly sweet. No matter which one you chose, you can almost be certain that you will get a great flavor. A quick background about Cafe […]
We went on to some vineyards tour of our own, with wine experts friends of ours. We were expecting to have lots of fun, lots of wine, and lots of great vineyard experience! We were very excited to visit vineyards in Sonoma Valley, because we love wine, and going there with a serious wine lovers who […]
This is my third review of Caffè Storico. (You can see my previous reviews at: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/caffe-storico-2/ & http://www.foodlovergirl.com/caffe-storico/) So as you can see, I like going to this restaurant for 2 reasons. Beautiful restaurant with good food, and the fact that it is inside a beautiful museum. I enjoy art, creating and seeing, so we were […]

It is always exciting when a new restaurant opens up, especially if they are gong to offer a cuisine that you really like and enjoy. My favorite cuisine is Japanese, the best kind of food in the world (and Anthony Bourdain agrees)! One of the best Japanese comfort food, especially during Autumn & Winter seasons […]
One of the most popular cuisine in Japan other than Japanese food is Italian. They are easy to find wherever you go. And, it is usually reasonably priced. If you are wanting something different from the every day Japanese food, and feeling pasta or pizza, Italian restaurant will be nearby if you are in metropolitan […]
One of the best Japanese comfort food to me is Curry. It is tasty, savory, lots of different types, ingredients, veggies, and it is so good any season of the year. There is a small Japanese restaurant that does curry and curry only. They have grown to 4 locations in the city now. It is […]
I grew up with great Japanese sweets and snacks, and one of the best sweets that reminds me of my childhood is “Cream Pan” or cream bun, basically a bread filled with sweet custard cream. The kind I used to have came from local bakery, but there are some serious professional who takes anything that […]
