My date & I went here to eat for lunch. He brought me here to try Unagi before I left Japan. We were both hungry and waited more than an hour to eat there. There was a long queue since it's a famous Eel restaurant in Narita-san. I love the traditional Japanese ambiance here, although it's crowded. Kawatoyo Honten has been a long-standing store for over 100 years, and I was lucky as a foreigner to have tried one of the best Eel restaurants. This is my second time eating unagi, hands down to the best Eel I have had.

Additionally, I love Japanese food more than Filipino food because they are less salty and fatty. Plus, they are flavorful, fresh, small portions, and highly nutritious. This is the reason why they have a long life span, and there are few obese people in Japan.

I was staying in Tokyo, Japan, during this time. I had a break after a few hours of online work and went to Konbini to buy food for lunch. I saw this Brulee ice cream and tried it, I saw it was trending all over TikTok and Instagram. 7-Eleven Japan is my happy place because there are many varieties of desserts. Lol

Luckily, I found this place. I've been Google researching the best stationery stores in Japan before I arrive there. Now, this is my favorite stationery store. :)

I didn't buy anything, so I took a photo of it. Too cute to eat this dessert. Most of the shops in Japan have great packaging and presentation.

This is the biggest Starbucks in Asia. Sadly, we didn't enter this place since it was packed with people, and we had to wait for a few hours to enter this place. The best time to come here is early morning. I actually wanted to take a photo of the interior to have remembrance. I'm amazed because it has an intricate design, which I saw online.

I went to Don Quijote again to buy these goodies. Don Quijote is a popular souvenir shop for foreigners and is tax-free. Next time, I should go to the supermarket because of the lower price. I just recently found out the price difference when I actually saw it. It was much cheaper in the Supermarket, even with tax. Nevertheless, I've read good reviews about these items I got. The hair & skin care and facial wash are definitely a must.

This place is from Narita-san. The weather was perfect during this time. It was cloudy and cool, although it is still summer season in Japan. There were many temples and traditional Japanese shops and houses around this area. A lot of local and tourist people visit this place.

This was given to me and I really liked it. It’s quite unique because it’s fried potato covered with chocolate. I ate this on the plane when I returned home from Japan to the Philippines. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it here in my place. Royce Chocolate is a famous chocolate in Hokkaido, Japan.

Missing Japan

Hands down to Whittaker’s chocolate, it’s one of the finest that I’ve tried.

A souvenir that I got from my 1st cousin.

New Zealand chocolates have a velvety taste. They’re high-end but they’re palm oil-free.
