Going to shopping for Japanese groceries at Mitsuwa and get some Japanese food while we are there has become one of our fun weekend activity. We don’t do that every weekend, but when we do, the first thing we talk about is “from which place are we going to get food from this time?” We […]
This is our second visit to Inakaya (you can read about our first visit here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/inakaya/). We had a good time the last visit during NYC Restaurant Week, so we were excited to go back for the second time. We both ordered their Inakaya Course ($70/person) that comes with six course, including a dessert. We started […]
This spot has been on my radar for a while, since it bears Japanese name, and it is a curry restaurant! I love Japanese curry, but yet this restaurant is located in Korean Town… So, is it Japanese or Korean restaurant??? So I ventured out to find out the answer for myself! From what I […]
One of the benefits of flying with JAL in Premium Economy is that we get to have access to their airport lounges, Air France Lounge at JFK Airport (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/air-france-lounge-jfk/), and Sakura Lounge at Narita Airport. I first used Sakura Lounge in 2015 (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/jal-sakura-lounge/), and this is […]
Before we went to Japan, we saw a TV clip of this place in Tokyo Station. We really, really wanted to go there, so made sure that we will be in Tokyo station one morning. I heard that they get lines in the morning, even before they open up at 7am. We didn’t go quite […]
One of the thing that everyone gets curious about when traveling via plane is, what kind of food are they serving on the plane? Well, at least I do. I wrote about the food on plane of All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Japan Airlines (JAL) in 2015 (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/food-on-plane-ana-jal/ ). It […]
When I first heard about this restaurant opening up in NYC this Summer, I was very excited. But, didn’t really make my way over there until now. Even though I was very curious, I didn’t feel any immediate need or desire to check out their simple teppanyaki-style food, and also, I heard some say that […]
One of my favorite Japanese restaurants in NYC is Bohemian. (You can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/bohemian/ and here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/bohemian-2/ ). After I first visited Bohemian several years ago, I got connected to Bohemian Nishiazabu in Japan. When we finally got to visit Bohemian Nishiazabu (You can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/bohemian-nishiazabu/). We went back for the […]
We first discovered Isogiya in 2015 (You can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/isogiya/), we became a fan of this spot. It is located next to the fish market, and because of that, they get all sorts of super fresh seafood! The exterior, or rather, the signs and decoration on the outside had changed, to more […]
This shop is one of the local’s secret gem, it is a this traditional Japanese confectionery and sweets store. It has the old-fashion exterior that matches their offerings. It is kind of interesting to see this type of building surrounded by more modern apartment complexes. Inside it nice and large, with so many different kind […]
