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 […]
Ever since this restaurant opened up in July of this year, I have been very curious about them. Then, when I was in Japan during late Summer, I met with chefs who knows and worked with the Executive Chef at Mifune! So, I really had to go for a visit. It had a clean, modern […]

This post might be kind of random, and it will be a short one. Regardless, when I find anything that is tasty, I say it deserves attention! This is another one of my foodie sister’s recommendation.
