Japan favorites

Stephanie Ge: This is actually a chain, with branches in Osaka, Tokyo, and maybe other cities too! Their Japanese cheese tarts are amazing. Recommend the original and matcha flavors.

Stephanie Ge: My personal favorite ramen shop in Tokyo. They feature a lighter broth - yuzu shio, which I enjoy more than heavier broths like tonkatsu.

Stephanie Ge: My personal favorite katsu place in Tokyo.

Stephanie Ge: They had a night viewing opportunity (seasonal) when I visited in November. One of my favorite experiences in Japan!

naveen: the omakase is a fifteen-minute sprint of this fish and that fish. the chef will knife up pieces faster than you can count: and your only job is to eat and take it all in

Stephanie Ge: Use mortar+pestle to grind your own katsu sauce!

Stephanie Ge: Amazing experience! Breathtaking mountain/lake views, relaxing indoor and outdoor onsen, delicious kaiseki meal, and very comfortable beds! Pricy but well worth it.

Stephanie Ge: Kobe beef, cooked teppanyaki style.

Stephanie Ge: 3 star kaiseki. 3 pricing tiers.

Stephanie Ge: The best croissants!! Flaky and fresh.

Stephanie Ge: So many different types of matcha and other tea flavored ice cream!

Stephanie Ge: Because you have to go to at least one character cafe.

Stephanie Ge: Go to Ghibli museum to see the Totoros, then come here to eat them!

Stephanie Ge: Get tickets way ahead of time, otherwise they will be sold out.
