Eating in Japan – 2016 edition

Last year I ate a lot in Japan but didn’t film everything. Going to Japan in May this year, with film-every-meal mission in mind, I ate even more. And this time, I filmed everything.

    Loved the post, such a fun video too, everything looks so scrumptious! I don’t think I would ever be able to name THE best meal because there is so much good food here. Wagyu beef is definitely one of my most memorable meals and I love tonkatsu from Maisen, kaiseki dinners I have had in Tokyo were also spectacular. Fruit here is expensive but incredibly flavorful an tasty and I love love love the bento boxes. Lastly, wagashi are my absolute guilty pleasures! 🙂 xoxo, nano
