I can never get tired of Japan, and was so happy to be able to visit Tokyo in early March where the weather was so nice and cool. Winters here seem to get later and later and the coldest time seems to be from January to early March in these recent...
In part 2 of my late summer Japan vacation, Y and I adjourned to Tokyo to meet R after our girlie trip with LY ended in Fukuoka. I managed to eat at some good ol' regular favourite spots such as Mikawa Zezankyo (my favourite tempura in Japan), and also tried...
Every time I am in Japan, Y and I must have at least one sukiyaki meal, it’s like a food ritual that we must have otherwise we will be cranky. Typically I always head to Imahan as it has so many locations and is pretty dependable, but I decided to...
Whether or not you like Oyako don, you have to come and visit this little mom-and-pop shop in Tsukiji Market – Nambaratei 南ばら亭. It was by chance we found this tiny shop after the other Oyako don shop that I had attempted to find in Tsukiji fell to futile attempts...
On every trip to Tokyo, we always make it a point to visit at least 1 or more sushi restaurants. Given our rather short stay in Tokyo, we managed to squeeze in only one but it was Sushi Yoshitake, one of the sushi places I have always wanted to go...
During my recent trip to Tokyo in February, the group of us spent quite a few nights exploring different cocktail bars. I think Y and I have never explored cocktail bars in Tokyo despite our love for drinking especially delicicious cocktails, so it was pretty good fun that we managed...
Getting a reservation at Noma's rare 5 week pop up in Tokyo was like winning the lottery! Back in June last year, when Y and I were away for a week with limited wifi in safari in Kenya, the online booking for Noma's pop up had to happen for a...
Sorry all for the long break from my last post, been terribly busy clearing year end work and packing for my ski trip to Zermatt, Switzerland! Am sure many of you know how that feels. I told myself in the spirit of caring and sharing, I had to let you all...
Our reservation at Jimbocho Den was the hardest to secure being one of the hottest new restaurants in Tokyo, it seemed. Initially I was turned down when I booked 3 months ahead of time, the restaurant citing they were full, despite my plea that I wanted to celebrate Y's birthday there. What a pity, as we were keen...
This is probably the only post that I have done to date that has no photos, as no photos are allowed in Sushi Hashiguchi Tokyo, a tiny sushi bar in Asakasa run by Chef Hashiguchi which sits around 6 people, that's all. Known to be anti-establishment, he has no Michelin Stars, refusing...
