During my trip to Japan this was one of my must-do places to visit. This place in located within the Main Streets of Old-Gion , Kyoto. The place is pretty easy to find because around lunch time you see a massive queue of people lining up – extending from upstairs to the outside of the cafe.

This had green tea soft serve, normal green tea ice cream, kiwi, green tea biscuit, glutonous balls, green. tea jelly, and bananas.

The Green-Tea Noodles!

How pretty is it? I think that is how far it got with me. The desserts were all very nice to look at but they all had an odd sour taste to it. Maybe I chose the wrong one? The Green-Tea noodles were lovely though. Especially on a really cold day.

Worth visiting for the novelty of it though. 🙂

Buying dessert in Japan is really a special experience. We found this place inside a large supermarket/ Myers type place in Hiroshima not too far from the JR station. From what I remember there is a whole section of different vendors, dedicated to sweet stuff. It comes served in heart shaped crockery. Cute!

We were in Ikebukuro on a cold night so we decided to have something hot to eat. Our choice was a Japanese Charcoal BBQ restaurant. Also very easy to order. Just point to the pictures, and you cook the meat yourself on the charcoal grill on your table.

I can’t remember exactly what we had but what I remember is: intestine, heart, liver, corn, pork sausages, pork ribs, thinly sliced beef, bacon etc. I grew up eating the ‘regular’ pieces of meat as well as the other stuff, so the notion of eating something like chicken liver is not off putting to me. It’s such a waste to just eat particular parts of an animal and not eat the rest, because they tend to be the more tender, and less bland cuts of meat.

We finished the meal with some berry ice cream and a sundae in waffle cone.

I was at Disneyland, Tokyo and could not resist but try this. Sounds strange. Tastes pretty good.

Hello World!

Welcome to my very first blog post of the year. I am new to this, so please bare with me in the meantime as I become accustomed to the world of blogging. I promise to deliver new, unique, and interesting content on regular basis – so please come back frequently for updates!

It is known by many beer lovers that Asahi – along with Sapporo are amongst two of the largest breweries and beer manufacturers in Japan. But what about the other stuff?

Today I introduce to you – Red Bean Drink by Asahi.

I bought this from a vending machine in Tokyo, Japan. By the way, it is a HOT drink.Who would’ve thought? A hot drink from a vending machine. But it makes a lot of sense when you are freezing your tookus off.

In terms of taste, I would say it is pretty close to the real thing. Much more red bean than I expected. Although it is closer in texture and thinner like the Chinese version rather than the Japanese Oshiruko version.
