It seems like this year was the year of mochi donuts. We tried some mochi donuts from The Dough Club towards the beginning of the year, and since then, I started to see this “Pon de Ring” style mochi donuts popping up at other places. When we heard that there is a popular mochi donut […]

Kura Revolving Sushi Bar
One place we always go to when we visit Japan is Kappa Sushi. Japan is full of fun sushi place that delivers sushi plates on conveyor belts, called Kaiten Sushi. I have seen a few places like that in NYC come and go, but never had a chance to try one anywhere in the US. […]
Izakaya Juraku
After having some desserts in LES, we decided to go get some drinks. I suggested that we should have some “real” food, since we only had some desserts. After doing some research on where to go, my hubby found a perfect spot. We love going to Izakaya, like Izakaya Mew, which is a Japanese pub with […]
Soba Azuma #2
We have been to the Soba Noodle Azuma in NJ, and their sister restaurant Soba Azuma in NYC. They do offer more than just soba dishes at both locations. And on chilly days, hot soba or udon dishes are just perfect. So, we went to Soba Azuma a few times recently, during a really cold […]
Tabe Tomo #2
I first discovered Tabe Tomo when I went to the Tasting Collective event. It was such an awesome experience, with so many delicious and high quality food, we just had to go back. And, we knew a couple who would totally appreciate their food too, so we decided to make it a fun double date. […]

Tasting Collective is a dining club for food lovers, and they offer brunch […]
HARBS Chelsea
Ever since I first visited HARBS a while back, I have become a big fan of their cakes. I also loved their omelet sandwich too. We’ve enjoyed their cakes many times over since the first visit. But, we haven’t really had the chance to go back for another brunch. As I was checking a current […]
Kaikagetsu NYC
This spot has been on my radar since they opened in the Summer of 2018. They have been in the restaurant business for 20 years, they have their original location in Japan. We went on chilly evening, not too long after they opened for the day, so it was pretty quiet. They had a few […]
Soba Azuma
We have been to the Soba Noodle Azuma in NJ, and then found this spot in NYC. They seem to be a sister restaurant, since they share pretty much identical menu. We decided to check it out one day for lunch. It was still a bit early, before the lunch rush, so it was nice […]
Yamagata
No matter how many different cuisines from all different countries in the world, my true love for the food would still remains to be Japanese food. You gotta love the food you grew up with, the kind of food with warm memories of your mom and grand-mom cooking for you. And when I miss that […]
