For my birthday, my sweet boyfriend went with me to 花畑牧場 十勝チーズ工房 MOZZARELLA BAR. It’s a beauty, that place. The whole of Japan seems to shun cheese on most days. […]
I am a sucker for food related phone charms. Here we have “Taberaresou de taberarenai PAN no masukotto” (Looks Edible But Isn’t BREAD Mascot). I was hoping to get the […]
This month’s Japanese McDonald’s novelty menu items are actually, for once, classically good. Up top is the chicken fillet and quarter pounder with white cheddar. Below is the cheese potato […]
I’ve written before about Cozy Corner Ginza. The ubiquitous red cake kiosks are my favorite sweet sellers in Japan. Not only are their cakes beautiful, they’re affordable and taste as […]
