Summer Festival in Japan
Going to a Summer Festival is fun, no matter what type or where it is. When we headed to Japan, we were lucky enough to arrive day before the Summer Festival! I don’t remember the last time I got to go a Summer Festival in Japan… So we were pretty excited to go and have […]
Omuraen
One of the most fun sweets of Summer in Japan to me is Kakigori. It is a Japanese shaved ice with sweet syrup. Since the Instagram has entered into culinary world, restaurants, cafes, and others alike have been coming up with some crazy looking food and dessert. But, it also helps people discover a food […]
Kodawarippa
During our stay in Japan, we visited the home of best green teas, Shizuoka. Along the way, we discovered many wonderful food, drinks, and yes, sweets. We bought so many delicious gifts there for our family and friends, and of course, for ourselves! We visited Kakegawa Castle, and right by the castle was a little […]
The Tea Bar – CLOSED
We have been exploring some Korean restaurants in Fort Lee, NJ. After doing some research, this place had some enticing photos of their dishes. So, we decided to try them out. I was a bit surprised that this place called “The Tea Bar” was actually Korean food restaurant, as I always thought they were another […]
Shohko Cafe
Since I tried a Korean owned and operated Sushi restaurant in Santa Fe, I had to visit the one that is Japanese owned and operated. It didn’t have much of any signage on the outside, so it was not easy to spot this place. You have to be facing the door to see the modest […]
Izmi Sushi & Asian Cuisine
When I visited Santa Fe for business, I was excited to try out some new food there. As I walked around, I realized how “touristy” the town is, which was not so great… They had gift shops after gift shops, and restaurants with pricey Mexican type food items. Since I am not really a big […]
The PokéSpot
In New York City, there will be a few new food trend or craze that comes up to steal the spotlight from the ones from previous year. Poké is one of them that is getting lots of attention, and new Poké eateries opening up every day. I didn’t know much about Poké, but from the first time I saw […]
Mitsuwa Marketplace #2
Ever since my husband and I went for shopping at Mitsuwa and had lunch there the first time, it has become a regular fun activity for us to do. We go shopping for Japanese groceries there about once a month, and get some lunch. I love the variety of options and affordable prices. Here are […]
Paris Baguette @ Hudson Lights
One of the best thing about Japanese cuisine is their quality of desserts. It is not always easy to get them here in the US. Paris Baguette is not Japanese pasty café, but they are similar to Japanese sweets and breads. And, they are quite affordable, and for this reason, I like to visit them […]
