I’ve visited Miyazakikan twice so far and both times were very enjoyable and Miyazakikan is definitely making my list of recommended places to go in Osaka, especially if you’re craving good japanese steak. The prices here are also very worth it for the amount of food you get. Their menu is all course meals, and […]
若松屋 (Wakamatsuya)
This was one of many recommended restaurants in Yanagawa for Unagi. As I visited Yanagawa with a discounted set of tickets that covered my train rides, boat ride and food, I was given a few different restaurants around the town to choose from that would be covered. After walking a bit down the road of […]
Rikyu (牛たん炭焼 利久)
Sendai is famous for beef tongue, and while looking up places on where to eat it I found that Rikyu was a famous chain store that specialized in beef tongue! I tried 2 different Rikyu restaurants during my trip to Sendai, one which is mapped below and another inside Sendai Station. The first time I […]
お食事処 潮騒 (Shiosai)
Recommended by locals, I found out via Google that Shiosai served both local delicacies of Kagoshima, which was a great chance for me since I had been having a lack of appetite after getting some serious motion sickness spending the night on a cargo ship. The 2 local specialties of Kagoshima/Yakushima were Kame no Te […]
一蘭 本社総本店 (Ichiran Ramen)
In all honestly, I’m not a fan of ramen. But when you’re in Fukuoka, birthplace of Ichiran Ramen and its pork broth, you can’t not go. On that note, I went to visit the supposedly original branch of Ichiran (and hopefully I mapped out the right one below), with individual seating as you can see. […]
ひょうたん寿司 (Hyoutan Sushi)
A ton of websites and blogs recommended this place, although the Google reviews weren’t particularly good. I had plenty of time, so I decided to drop by and find out for myself. There is in fact TWO Hyoutan Sushi restaurants, very close to each other, so be careful which one you want to go. The […]
肉バル 将泰庵 (Niku Bar Shoutaian)
A new favourite of mine, I found this place while looking up lesser-known restaurants in the area to try and I’m surprised by the lack of foreigners here! All the better for me as it means the already-small restaurant doesn’t have a daunting line out the door to stop me from visiting so often. They […]
Carmine’s
One of my favourite places to visit on Lygon street whenever a pasta-craving hits, the pasta I got recommended the first time I went went on to be my usual order every time after! I also loved how friendly and attentive the waiters were, and that there were generations working in the shop! My first […]
The Colonial Tramcar Restaurant
As a celebration for my graduation, I experienced Melbourne’s tramcar restaurant, something which has intrigued me from the first time I saw it pass by on the streets. The restaurant does 3 different meal times, each differing in course length and travel time. We opted for the early dinner sitting which was 3 courses and […]
Humble Rays
A spacious brunch place lodged between the city and Melbourne Uni, Humble Rays seems to be a frequent haunt for many of my friends, although I myself have only been twice. The layout and decor is minimalistic and neat, and the glass doors certainly allow some “rays” of natural light in and add to the […]
