I love my korean BBQ. And BBQ in Japan rocks. Yakiniku in Japan does have much influence from Korean BBQ. But Yakiniku is a post for another day.

No trip to Tokyo should leave out a visit to Harajuku. It’s simply a hive a activity on weekends and there’s just so much to see!

Tempura, one of my all time favourite Japanese foods. When done right, the crispy fried batter melts in your mouth together with the fish, prawn, squid of vegie that it’s fried with it. Yummm And of course, when in Japan, I had superb tempura!

The Mori Art Museum in Roppongi Hills is one of my favorite art museums. It’s location at the top of the Mori Towers does help, but it’s also because of the excellent curation of the exhibits. The use of space and lighting goes a long way in helping my appreciation of art.

It was freezing in Tokyo and what better food than Sukiyaki on a cold night? We checked out this all-you-can-eat Sukiyaki place in Shinjuku. It was fantastic!

Tokyo is one of those cities which captures my imagination. It’s fast moving, ever changing, amazing pop culture and the food’s fantastic! My Tokyo trip earlier this year was a blast. It was the 2nd time in a year that I was there and no regrets. This begins the series of posts over the next month of my trip, where I’ll share pics and some recommendations.

After much procrastinating, I’ve finally updated my Tokyo Toy Shops posts. The shops are still basically the same. I did check out one or two new shops, but nothing to post about. The main shops are still going strong.
The Jan 2010 updates are in blue. There are pics of shop fronts and the interior of the shops themselves to give you an idea of what to expect and find. I’m planning my 2011 trip, will update more then!
Have fun toy shopping in Tokyo!

Tokyo by night is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever experienced. It’s buzzing with activity and the neon lights shine brightly in the sky. I just found this photo blog of Tokyo, which is tempting me like crazy! Can’t wait to my trip back there in January. Woot! Less than a month from now!
