The goma ice cream served by Gomaya Yuki is the best that I have eaten to-date. Smooth and creamy with very intense sesame flavours. On the shop’s recommendation, I ordered a scoop the Triple Rich black and a scoop of
Tsukiji Kitsuneya – Awesome Horumon Don In Tokyo
Offal. Tripe. Horumon. Gopchang. Kway chap. I simply love eating offal. I haven’t come across an offal dish that I don’t enjoy. Take me to a Korean BBQ and I will be ordering the beef intestines instead of meat. In
Gyukatsu Motomura – Deep-Fried Breaded Beef Cutlet In Tokyo
I have been seeing photos of the beef version of tonkatsu from Gyukatsu Motomura floating around on Instagram for the longest time but was never convinced to give gyukatsu a try. I like tonkatsu but the idea of deep-fried beef
Flippers Pancakes – Delicious Soufflé Pancakes in Tokyo
Flippers Pancakes has for the longest time been an item on my ‘want to eat’ list in Tokyo. Never managed to try it in all my previous visits because I hear that the queue to get in is quite long.
Tokyo: From afar 倉庫01Coffee And Tea
From afar倉庫01 is a beautiful tearoom that I had seen in the Instagram feed of shewhoeats. Her Instagram feed is gorgeous – filled with photographs of cakes, pastries and desserts that she bakes and her travels. We were heading to Asakusa for
Tokyo: Motoya Express In Daikanyama
Motoya Express is another favorite coffee joint of ours. We would always drop by for a cup whenever we are in Tokyo. Motoya does not operate out of a brick-and-mortar shop but out of a little mini bus. It is unbelievable
Tokyo: Sandwiches At Hamanoya Parlor In Yurakucho
I do not eat much bread in my diet but whenever I am in Japan, I find myself eating bread almost every day. We usually go to a kissaten close to our hotel (you can usually find one along the streets
Tokyo: Otafuku Oden In Asakusa
The husband loves oden. So do I. It is simple comfort food, best eaten in cold weather (for me) with a mug of beer. Usually, we eat oden in an izakaya in Japan. This time, I wanted to visit a
Tokyo: Cafe Kitsune In Omotesando
We visited Cafe Kitsune for the first time on this trip. The cafe is located at Omotesando – not Omotesando Hills but across the Aoyama main road, on the side where the Prada, Chanel and other branded boutiques are situated.
Tokyo: Toranomon Koffee In Toranomon Hills
At Toranomon Koffee (previously Omotesando Koffee) at the swanky Toranomon Hills tower. Pity that the charming machiya at Omotesando has been demolished. The ambience of Toranomon Koffee has a slightly different vibe compared to its predecessor, but no less charming, I
Fabric Shopping In Japan & A Candy Bag Of Handmade Fabric Buttons
Japan is a haven for crafters. Their stationery shops, fabric shops, handicraft shops are places where I can spend all day wandering around in. With the husband in tow, I had to exercise restraint in the amount of time I
Tokyo: Cafe De L’Ambre In Ginza
We are not fans of hand-drip coffee, but we learnt that Cafe De L’Ambre’s hand-drip coffee is excellent. Not just the coffee, the ambience is lovely too. The interior is 1980s – brown wood, dark, smoky. You sit at a bar counter
Tokyo: Maisen Tonkatsu In Omotesando
I cannot believe that I have not heard of Maisen, this popular tonkatsu restaurant until recently! From what I have read and heard, Maisen is housed in what used to be a public bath-house, and is practically an institution in
