After having such amazing time at Mifune the first visit (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/mifune-new-york/ ), we went back for more! We got there shortly after they opened for the evening, so we were one of the first few customers. The interior was as beautiful and tranquil as before. We started off with champagne, […]
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 […]
I love finding a hidden gem, and there are a few good hidden gem restaurants in New York City. One of which is an elegant restaurant inside The Morgan Library & Museum. It is an upscale lunch-only American restaurant, and you do not have to pay for the admission for the Museum in order to […]
I was looking for a nice breakfast that opens early morning, and located near Carnegie Hall. After some searches, I came across this spot. They are a cafe and also a shop. We went late Autumn, so it was decorated for the season from inside and out. The inside is not big, but rather small […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
