[JAPAN] The Pavilion Japan of Expo 2015 Milano x Tohoku Region
The same thing as Sushi, Japanese Sake is also a part of Japanese culture that always sought after by foreign visitors, and many of us only have a superficial understanding about the Japanese Sake. Sake is a Japanese rice wine made by fermenting rice that has been polished to remove the bran.

So we visited the Ginza area after we had lunch at Sushizanmai near the Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo.

This area is considered as the highest fashion center of the city, suitable for anyone who loves shopping, especially for the Shopaholic where one can shop till they drop. Woohoo! For me, everything is very expensive in this...

Once we reached this place, we enter through the...

[JAPAN] Sushi Heaven at Kaiten Sushi Toriton, Solamachi Dining – Tokyo Sky Tree
There are so many restaurants to choose from when visiting Tokyo Sky Tree in Tokyo, Japan. But we chose Toriton Kaiten Sushi at Solamachi Dining based on our research for dinner last year. Kaitensushi means a conveyor belt sushi and most sushi restaurants in Japan use it, but Toriton Sushi is one of the famous sushi restaurants in Tokyo. When we got there, there was a very long queue in front of us, oh my gosh, maybe 60-70 people or...

Even though the place is quite small, the cozy ambiance, minimalist white decor with warm lighting, fresh flowers and a wide variety of colorful cakes, pastries, and chocolate easily caught our eye. Patisserie...

[JAPAN] Enjoy Seasonal Fruit Cherries from Tohoku, Japan
My sister in law who had lived and studied in Japan for many years, told me that we should enjoy Japanese seasonal fruits when visiting Japan. I was curious and trying to figure out when I was in Japan for two weeks during our summer holiday. There are plenty of different fresh fruits compared to what we usually find in Jakarta. And we truly admire how fresh and adorable those fruits available in Japan, such as strawberries, Japan...
