While we were in Japan during the past winter, we decided to go to Asakusa area for a day. I found this interesting spot called MISOJYU, focused on Miso Soup, and wanted to go there for breakfast. Unfortunately, the main Asakusa location was closed for the holidays, and have not yet reopened for the year […]
While we were in Tokyo, we wanted to go to interesting places to eat. After walking over to the spot I wanted to try, and finding out that they have not yet opened for the year, we had to go find another restaurant nearby. That is the challenge for when traveling at the end of […]
The last tasty spot my gourmet sister took us to was a fun dinner spot called Tsukishima Monja Moheji. People nowadays might know one of the traditional Japanese comfort food, Okonomiyaki. We can get them in NYC too, from a spot like DokoDemo. Monja is similar, but it is not solid as okonomiyaki. You will […]
We went back to Japan once again during the winter, and yes, we had loads of great food. The first spot we went was Gyukatsu Motomura in Tokyo. They have many locations throughout Japan, and we went to the one located in Akihabara. It was interesting to see the Akihabara today, and yes, it is […]
I know, you are wondering why I am writing about the place that is now closed since we visited in January 2023? Well, they still have shops, pop up stores, markets, and park. You never know when they re-open the Moomin Cafe again! (Hoping and wishing bigtime here). We made it to the Solamachi location […]
When we went to get some adorable Totoro cream puffs from Shiro-Hige’s Cream Puff Factory, we had to find a lunch spot, since the cafe at the Cream Puff Factory was full with a long wait. We walked around, looking at all the options, until we found this spot with enticing photos of hamburg steaks […]
One of the places we missed visiting the last time we were in Japan was Shiro-Hige’s Cream Puff Factory. This time, we made sure to visit for some adorable cream puffs! If you are a huge Ghibli fan like us, you really must have their cream puffs, shaped in Totoro! They now have two locations, […]
I just realized that I missed the first spot that my gourmet sister took us on the fun outing day in Tokyo! Since it was such an epic spot, I had to make sure to write about them. It is called Kajitsuen Libre, also known as Kajitsuen Fruit Parlor. My sister told us about how […]
On the way home to my parents’ home from Harajuku are, we tried to look for something tasty that we can bring back with us for dinner. We looked at some places, but then, the choice of food didn’t feel like they will travel well on the train ride… But then, I remember seeing this […]
Here is a little different post, not food related one, but certainly interesting topic. One place my husband was VERY curious about was one of those animal/pet cafes. There are Cat Cafe and Puppy Cafe elsewhere nowadays outside of Japan, but they still have unique animal/pet cafe only in Japan. One of them is Hedgehog […]
