2,255 models, five runways, one new Guinness world record.  That about sums it up for what transpired last November 29, 2012 with the Glorietta Vibe event which I’m gladly part of.  Here are some of the behind the scenes of this record-breaking feat from my perspective. A new Guinness world record for the Philippines! Continue reading From Running to the Runway: Glorietta Vibe and a Guinness…

Japan Town in Glorietta Mall Takes Guests on a Culinary and Cultural Journey

I am just so in love with Japan. Even before I first got to travel to Land of the Rising Sun, I was already so captivated with the Japanese culture and way of life, most especially their food! Japanese cuisine is obviously my favorite, which is why my top places to eat are mostly Japanese restaurants. That's why I was really excited to attend the launch of the refreshed Japan Town in Glorietta Mall which brings all my favorites in one fantastic venue.

Glorietta, a bustling shopping and lifestyle destination in the heart of Metro Manila, has relaunched a hidden gem that brings the vibrant culture and exquisite flavors of Japan to the forefront. Welcome to Glorietta's Japan Town, a culinary haven that transcends the ordinary, offering the Japanese experience, both traditional and contemporary, without the need for a plane ticket. The Hungry Kat was invited last January 27, 2024 to be part of the festivities and activities that were available to guests at Glorietta and it was truly a fun and enjoyable weekend.

Glorietta's Japan Town isn't just for culinary enthusiasts; it's a destination for all. The communal atmosphere reminiscent of izakayas creates an ideal setting for friends to gather, unwind, and relish the energetic social scene. Japan Town also provides solace and a taste of Japan's culinary delights for those seeking a comforting escape after a challenging day's work. Moreover, Japan Town is a vibrant community hub where individuals can immerse themselves in their passion for everything Japanese. The central square stands as a focal point, boasting a LED screen that showcases the diverse works of various artists. In the upcoming months, it will also host a plethora of events and fairs, promising an exciting calendar for mallgoers. Anticipate the rhythmic beats of DJs during events like Sunsets in Shibuya, where the lively ambiance of Tokyo evenings comes to life.

For this weekend, Japan Town became a haven of activities for everything Japanese. Guests came in their best cosplay outfits to match the beautiful and scenic surroundings.

Those who were not able to wear costumes could also Rent-A-Cosplay for the afternoon to bring out their favorite anime and game characters.

They also had Rent-A-Kimono so you could take gorgeous photos and feel as if you were really in Japan.

There were many other activities that guests could participate in for free. All you had to do was to present a single receipt purchase of P2000 from any of the Japan Town merchants and restaurants. Guests could design their own totebags or participate in the Origami workshop.

We decided to join the Matcha Workshop by Matchanese.ph where we could mix and create our own Matcha Lattes.

The instructor taught us the art of matcha making which comes with precise measurements and strokes. We first had to weigh the matcha powder using digital weighing scales then whisk it into a thick and bubbly consistency. It was actually hard work because my arms got tired from all the whisking and blending.

We then prepared our milk and ice then proceeded to pour our matcha creations into our Matcha Latte cups. We also got to take home some of the matcha beverages we did.

One of my favorite things to do in Japan are the Claw Machines! That's why I was so happy to see these claw machines at Japan Town which were free to play. I spent a lot of time that afternoon trying to catch these prizes so I was ecstatic when I finally won!

Japan Town also featured some stalls selling cute kawaii items from stickers to key chains and prints and more.

I also made sure to drop by the Wishing Tree to grant me good fortune and to make my wishes come true this year.

Another great activity you can do at Japan Town is to experience wholesome family entertainment at the Omniverse Museum. This indoor attraction showcases a vast collection of authentic pop culture memorabilia from beloved comic books, movies, novels, and TV series. My husband took it a little too far when he saw some of his favorite characters.

Japan Town at Glorietta boasts an enticing array of Japanese restaurants, each offering a unique culinary journey that captures the essence of Japan's diverse and rich food culture and promises an immersive dining experience that transports patrons to the lively streets of Japan.

One of the restaurants that we wanted to visit at Japan Town was Musashi-Maru, a haven for sushi enthusiasts which offers a delectable dining experience with a focus on fresh and high-quality ingredients.

We ordered the Osashimi 6 Shu Mori (P1400) for our starters which had six kinds of assorted sashimi including salmon, tuna, scallops, lapu lapu, squid, and delectable uni. We were quite impressed with the quality of their dishes which can match those authentic Japanese restaurants in Little Tokyo in Makati.

My husband had the Una-Ju (P980) with its grilled eel on top of Japanese rice. It was really like you were eating this in Ginza, Tokyo.

We then shared the Hanakago Zen Negitoro Don (P1120), a big basket that comes with Mini Negitoro Don, Assorted Tempura, Assorted Sashimi, Nimono Garoni, Mini Udon, Tofu, Chawanmushi, and Almond Jelly.

We had already tried most of the other restaurants at Japan Town but it was always fun to go back. Experience a fusion of flavors at Mitsuyado Ramen Shokudo which offering a unique twist to traditional ramen.

This time we ordered their Spicy Tuna, Black Pepper Chicken Donburi, and Ebi Tempura.

To finish our food crawl at Japan Town, we headed next door to 102 Izakaya. This is where you can immerse yourself in the izakaya culture where small plates and a relaxed atmosphere create the perfect setting for socializing and enjoying Japanese snacks.

I remembered enjoying their Japanese Cocktails like the Sakura Sour and the Japanese Iced Tea before so we had to have these again.

We finished our exciting day with the Ribeye Saikoro Steak (P920) paired with the Yakitori Platter (P398) that comes with 8 sticks of delicious kushiyaki.

There are four other delicious restaurants in Japan Town that we did not get to explore this time. Shaburi & Kintan is where you can indulge in a dual culinary experience with shabu-shabu and yakiniku, creating a communal dining experience that brings friends and family together. Customize your curry experience at Coco Ichibanya with its diverse range of toppings and spice levels that cater to various palates. Dive into the world of ramen with Ramen Nagi, where steaming bowls of noodles and flavorful broths provide a taste of Japan's beloved comfort food. Finally, renowned for its tonkotsu ramen, Hakata Ton-Ichi invites guests to savor the robust and hearty flavors of this Fukuoka specialty.

We would like to thank our Ninang Bess Howe and her Better Mondays PR Consultancy team for hosting this very entertaining and filling weekend at Japan Town. With its diverse dining options, welcoming atmosphere, and immersive exploits, Japan Town at Glorietta fosters deeper cultural appreciation and promises an experience that embraces the best of Japan right in the heart of Metro Manila. You can find Japan Town at the Level 4 roofdeck of Glorietta 3 in Ayala Center, Makati City.

weekend recap • nov 8 to nov 10, 2024

Friday dinner and coffee at Deuces Makati with Hysa @/lachrymiformm and Hans @/hannahbananuuh. 

Saturday late lunch at Robinson Manila with Cath @/kindclouds and Mariz @/maarmte. It would be fun if sumama din si Marinelle.

Sunday with Hysa and Hans again at Odd Cafe in Makati, then we got our ears pierced in Glorietta 1, shempre ako 3 agad para isahang sakit nalang. This is also to wrap up our chika moments before they head home today.

I thank Hysa and Cath for capturing these moments, because if ako lang, I forgot na dahil sa kadaldalan ko. I had so much fun, and I hope they love my Christmas gifts (yes, I gave them this early because I don't know if our schedule permits us to catch up next month). Wrapping up my November first weekend with coughs and colds, but at least I had fun because I was able to meet my friends from this community.
