⇝ Manjiro ‘Mikey’ Sano

The nights were quite hectic considering they were spent on Fridays with everyone at a reserved restaurant created by the Kawata twins. Moments like these were to relish in, especially with everyone having nonstop bickering with each other that had been started by Baji or Mikey himself. However those moments would end with everyone going on a ride around Shibuya. Mikey glanced towards you before diverting his gaze down to the space that was on his bike. “(Y/n)-chi, there’s space come ride with me”, he said as he gave you a closed eye smile. Thinking about his offer you take glimpse between him and the space residing on his bike, “Alright”, you said as you nodded walking towards him. Reaching out your hands you grip onto his shoulders before settling down on the seat pressed up against his back, lowering your hands down to his waist before hugging him tightly.

Shortly after a few hours had passed by quick, the others had departed saying their goodbyes although Mikey seemed to have some other plans he decided to take you on another ride. This time you were looking at the rear view mirror on his bike, where you got a good look at his facial features, ‘He looks so pretty’, you thought as he brought you both to a street filled with venders selling all kinds of things. All of it looked so appealing, from the street vendors to the glowing lanterns above you both. “This is so beautiful”, you said looking around, “The snacks? Yeah”, he said as he looked around eyeing all the food. Deadpanning at him, “Seriously?”, “Am just kidding”, he said snickering at you. Rolling your eyes before saying, “You’re lucky that your pretty or else I’d punch you by now”, you quickly turned your when you realized what you said. The corners of his mouth formed a smile before he also turned his head from you to conceal his flushed face. The palm of your hand felt a enveloping warmth as you both walked towards a more secluded area. Here you were, now facing Mikey as he brought you into a hug, only to ruin the shared moment between you two with a small murder that said, “I know am pretty”. Looking back up at him slightly irritated you hit his shoulder before walking away, only to hear shouts of sorry’s and your name. He’d definitely make it up to you soon, he thought as he quickly rushed towards you whining about you just leaving before letting out strings of laughter.

⇝ Ran Haitani

This man always tried to get a rise out of you no matter what, starting off with light teasing until he gets what he wants from you. Sometimes it would get to much, which is why you would try and find solutions to get him to shut up. Ran had just gotten out the shower, his hair was dripping water on to the carpet as he stepped out of the bathroom searching for you. He loved it when you would dry his hair and comb it. The feeling of your fingers in his hair, massaging his scalp felt too heavenly. Walking into the living room where you were settled down watching TV, Ran decided it would be a good idea to tease you in that moment. Taking light steps towards you without making a noise, he brought himself close to where your ear was, “Hey gorgeous, mind if you dry my hair?”, he said in a low whisper. Sadly he didn’t expect you to hit him in the face precisely his nose. “Holy shi-, Ran! You can’t just do that”, you said slightly panicked as you looked at him as he rubbed his now light red nose. Sweat forming on side of his temple he looked at you astonished while his eyes glossed up from the impact. “That was one hell of a hit”, he said squinting at you while listening to you mutter out multiple apologies. “Well you deserved it-“, you were saying before getting cut off, “I thought partners were meant to be caring for their lovers”, he said pushing out his bottom lip before pouting at you while continuing to rub his nose. “I apologize my beloved boyfriend”, you said rolling your eyes at him before tugging the hem of his sleeve gesturing him to come sit next to you. Moving himself around the couch to sit next to you he turned crossing his legs before looking at you once again.

Getting a good look at his face before looking at his nose that was indeed red, “Don’t just look at me take care of me”, Ran said dramatically as if he were in severe pain. “be quiet, you’re such drama queen”, you said as you grab his face pulling him closer. His lavender color eyes were now looking at your eyes, as romantic as this moment felt you wanted to squish his face, letting out a sigh before placing a kiss on the tip of nose. “You should be glad that this red nose matches your pretty face”, as you looked at him, “Oh but I wouldn’t call myself pretty, I’d say i’m rather hot or handsome”, feeling a bit annoyed by his antics you felt like putting this Haitani in his place. “Really now? I think you’d make a perfect reindeer for Christmas don’t you think?”, inspecting his face as if you were trying to prove your point. Feeling his arms slither around you, “I don’t mind being a reindeer especially if it means you’ll ride me~”, he said slightly smirking as his hand tried to find a way under your clothing. Eyes widening at what he said, “Ran!”, letting out a deep laugh, “Dry my hair now lovely?”, still flustered at what he said, “Fine”.

⇝ Rindou Haitani

Seeing your boyfriend hurt was quiet out of the ordinary, especially with his glasses being cracked and him bleeding from the side of his head. How did he even end up like this? Ran had been the one to injure his brother…on accident. Knowing that you were out getting groceries, Ran suggested that it would be a great idea to spar against each other, disappointingly enough he agreed with his brother. Both getting into position in the living room, they launched towards one another. Knowing his older brother, he should have expected him to use his baton. Watching his brother whip out his baton before striking his younger brother. Mortified that not only had he actually hit his brother but also he hit him onto the coffee table causing it to break. The coffee table was your favorite table and it was broken with Rindou laying on top of it. Walking to his brother, he noticed he was bleeding from the head and his glasses were broken next to him. Behind him he heard the door open, turning around to look at you. There you were standing in all your glory looking down at the mess and then your boyfriend, your now injured boyfriend. “What the-, Rin?!”. You said dropping everything and rushing towards Rindou’s side, helping him up and walking him towards the bathroom. Turning your head you glare at older Haitani, “Clean up the mess, I’ll take care of your brother”, you said before shutting the bathroom door.

Looking at a half blacked out Rindou, you grab a med kit, taking out a cotton before pressing it against Rindou’s head, “Ouch, be gentle”, he said groaning at the pressure. Looking at him letting out a irritated sigh, “Well maybe if you weren’t an idiot we wouldn’t be doing this right now”. After cleaning up his wound you decide to apply cream on it and a bandaid. Sighing once again as you put away the med kit, you look back at the bandage, “Rin, I can’t stand to see your pretty face get hurt, even if it’s just the side of your head”. Looking away slightly embarrassed he grabs the back of your neck pulling you closer to him so he can place a kiss on the top of your head. “M’ sorry, I should have been careful”, before tucking his head into your neck. “Is my brother finally getting some?”, Ran said teasingly outside the door. Before Rindou could say a word you got to it first, “Ran I better have a new coffee table before the end of this week or else”, you said threatening the older Haitani through the bathroom door.

⇝ Kakucho Hitto

Waking up without your lover next to you was common, however ever so rarely when you wake up and he’s next to you is another sort of experience. Turning over and reaching your arm out to where Kakucho’s body warmth is left, you felt a masculine body replacing it instead. Slowly opening your eyes to see your boyfriend right next to you. Smiling you move closer to him, inhaling the scent of his shirt as he turns over to you now facing you as he still sleeps. You feel his arm go around your waist in an attempt to move you closer to his body. Taking your arm out from under the blankets you place your hand on top of his head pushing him near your neck. Running your hand through his hair, you place a kiss on both of his eyelids. Hearing him let out a soft snore, before groaning at the feeling of your hand playing around with his hair, “mmh”, as he slowly opened his eyes to look at you. Bringing your hand out of his hair before rubbing them on his cheek. “g’morning love”, you said in a murmur. “mornin”, he said while letting out a yawn before pressing his head further into your neck. Moving away from your neck before locking his gaze with yours, “somethin’ on my face?”, he said smiling at you. “Yeah”, you said moving your head closer to his, “I see a very pretty face”. Eyes widening at your words ready to decline them, you press a kiss on to the scar on his face. “Don’t deny it”, you said as you glanced at the scar before finally placing a kiss on his bottom lip.

You felt the tight squeeze on your waist, watching as his eyes bored into yours, catching the details of his now flushed face as he placed another kiss, except the only difference this time with this kiss was that he didn’t let you pull away, slightly parting away from your mouth with you top lips still connected, his thumb rubs over your bottom lip only to kiss you again. “We still have time before getting out of bed, let’s make the most of it, yeah?”, he said panting slightly. Least to say breakfast was skipped, and you were lightly shaking. “Hey, is y/n okay? Their shaking and their voice sounds hoarse.”, “Hm, oh yeah they’re fine, they just seemed to eat to much this morning and their feeling a bit sick”. He said giving his friend an innocent smile, only for you to catch glimpse of his eyes glancing at you. “Isn’t that right y/n?”, asking you as if he were an innocent angel, however he isn’t as innocent as he portrays himself to be.

⇝ Sanzu Haruchiyo

It was regular routine for you to sit and watch Sanzu practice with his katana, seeing him move quickly yet fluently with ease as he sliced through thin air. You thought about the scars on the corner of his mouth and how pretty it makes him look. He never told you the full story behind only ever mentioning a toy plane. Never once did you press him on the topic believing it would bring up bad memories or such. Getting up you decide to go get him a bottle of water knowing the time of training with his katana was coming to an end. Opening the fridge you see a cold water bottle, taking it out before turning around only to see Sanzu walking towards you, “I didn’t expect you to finish training 15 minutes early”, looking at you before grinning ready to throw his snide remark, “Well how couldn’t I finish it early, especially with how you kept staring at me”. Words being caught in the back of your throat, you look at him, exactly what would you even say? He was right, you were staring at him. “Not my fault I was staring at you”, you shot back, raising his brow, “Then who’s fault is it?”, playfully glaring at you waiting for your response. “The person who brought me there to watch him train”, glaring back at him as you pass him the cold bottle of water. “Your not wrong, however who’s to say you didn’t look at me for other reasons?~”, he said while taking a sip of the water.

“I was staring at you because of how pretty you look”, you said as you felt your face flush lightly. For the first time you heard him choke on water, only to see him intensely look at you. “You think I look pretty? How so?”, he said scoffed waiting for your response as he diverts his gaze away from yours. “Well for starters your eyes, those pretty blue shade, and the two diamonds you call scars on the corners of your lip.”, you said as you glanced back at him letting a smile creep up to your face. “You find my scars pretty?”, he asked with a questioning undertone. He felt a bit shocked but happy. Usually people found his scars a bit unusual or unattractive on a person, however contrary to that you found them pretty, and he couldn’t help but smile. Giving him the same reflective smile you ‘nod’ your head towards him. Walking towards him you place two kisses on the corners of his mouth, on top of his scars. He felt glad that you never questioned him, it simply made him feel a bit more loved.

Best places to eat and drink in Japan: readers travel tips

Best places to eat and drink in Japan: readers travel tips

It might not be hard to find great sushi in Tokyo, or a gem of a saki bar, but where would you go for the best okonomiyaki pancakes, takoyaki octopus balls, gold ice-cream or udon noodles?

Winning tip: Takoyaki, Nishiki Market, Kyoto

Ive eaten the most rarefied meals of my life in Japan, but its hard to beat the charms of a 2 portion of takoyaki fluffy balls of eggy batter studded with boiled octopus, ginger and spring onion in a polystyrene tray. These are anointed with takoyaki sauce (Japans answer to HP) and mayonnaise, then sprinkled with dried pink bonito (skipjack tuna) flakes, which writhe in the heat emanating from the molten core. You spear each ball with a notched cocktail stick and nibble while trying to avoid singing your lips. Its like eating mouthfuls of octopus-flavoured cloud. Osaka invented them, but you can find them pretty much everywhere in Japan. Among the best are the ones served in Kyotos Nishiki Market, where you buy a ticket from a vending machine before placing your order with the cook juggling the golden balls. MoragR

Tofu temple, Kyoto

You need a good-luck talisman (and some instructions printed from the internet) to find Shoraian, hidden in the glorious Arashiyama mountains to the west of Kyoto. To reach it I followed the jade waters of the Hozu river, then took a steep path into the forest to a lonely hillside clearing with a wooden house, which seems to belong in a fairytale. Shoraians fame rests on its tofu-based menu. It sounds ascetic, but this is Japan, where simplicity means invention and elegance. All its tofu is made in-house, which results in something completely unlike the stuff packaged in supermarkets. We ate in a room overlooking the river and shaded by rustling trees. We chose the cheapest of the set menus, at around 25 per head (lunch is always a more affordable option than dinner in Japan). The meal starts with homemade plum wine served with a scoop of tofu as creamy as burrata, served with a pinch of salt. Vegetarian delicacies follow, an artwork on a plate. Then a bowl called sunrise, served with a calligraphy poem, based on a preserved egg as bright as a pocket-sized sun. Then comes yudofu (tofu hot-pot) blocks of tofu simmered in tasty broth. Dessert is tofu ice-cream nutty, toffee-ish and textured. I will never eat a more magical meal. Ukyo-ku, Kyoto-shi, +81 75 861 0123, shoraian.com MoragR

Sushi Tokami, Ginza, Tokyo

Ginza is where the best sushi places in Tokyo are found and must be among the best in the world. Sushi Tokami is my pick of the lot, run by Michelin-starred Hiroyuki Sato, one of the young guns of the sushi scene, who loves a joke and is happy to chat and explain while making exquisitely flawless nigiri. The place is a tiny basement affair with 10 seats in total but when you also learn that Tokami means 10 gods then you realise this restaurant is a small but beautiful offering to the world of sushi. Sushi (10 pieces) from 31 including soup and appetiser, Ginza Seiwa Silver Building B1F, 8-2-10 Ginza, Chup-ku, +81 3 3571 6005, sushitokami.3zoku.com pfrosty

Jumanji 55, Roppongi, Tokyo

Photograph: Facebook

You dont get much better than Roppongi for a fun cheap night out in Tokyo. For just 6 you can drink as much as you like here for four hours, and the service is fantastic. It has everything: bizarre interior design, a fine selection of western and Asian music and a real buzz. It also has a great selection of traditional snacks. 3-10-5 Mariner building 1F, +81 3 5410-5455, jumanji55.com Natasha Alexa Searle

Bar Track, Ebisu, Tokyo

Ebisu is known for its izakayas (informal bar and eating joints) and as a cool spot away from the crowds of Shinjuku and Shibuya. A simple sign saying Bar on a nondescript building leads to a warm and hushed interior. Theres a huge selection of rare Japanese and Scotch whiskies and US bourbons. The bartenders play old jazz and blues records from a collection of thousands through vintage wooden speakers. There are simple bar snacks to keep you going banana chips, wasabi peas and rice crackers.

Kushiya monogatari, Shinjuku, Tokyo

This is a brilliant restaurant in the Shinjuku area offering a range of tabehodai and nomihodai (all you can eat/drink) options. It specialises in kushiage various meats, veg and fish on skewers. Each table has a small fryer in the middle, you pick out the skewers you want and batter/fry them yourself at your table. The best thing is you can have as much as you want in 90 minutes for about 2,500 (15.50) including drinks. I have eaten in many different types of restaurant in Japan but this definitely ranks at the top of my list. Not only is the food excellent but it is a fun and unique dining experience and great value for money. 1-3-1 Nishi-Shinjuku, 5th fl, Sunflower Bldg, +81 3 5321 6166, sunnypages.jp Roy Searle

Sushibar Hamacho, Nozawa Onsen

Nozawa Onsen is a great little ski resort, still very traditional. Its tiny streets have a great selection of eating places. My favourite was Sushibar Hamacho, a one-room place with seating at the bar or on the floor of a raised, matted platform. The place is usually busy with seemingly random opening hours. But the fresh, plump salmon and tuna are beautifully presented and of perfect quality, taste and texture. Four of us shared the platter and then polished off another one. Most meals cost around 9. 9519 Toyosato Nozawaonsen-Mura, +81 2 6985 2591 buryboy

Hida beef and sake in Takayama

Photograph: Getty Images/AWL Images RM

Kill two culinary birds with one stone with a visit to Takayama, a historic town in the mountains 200 miles west of Tokyo, famous for both its hida beef and sake. Once youve explored the numerous shrines and temples sprinkled around the surrounding hillsides, keep an eye out for the distinctive balls of cedar hanging from a building which signify a sake brewery; where the cedar ball has turned brown it means the sake is ready to drink. Several of the breweries offer tastings, and tasting cloudy sake is definitely an experience. In the evening, head to a specialist hida beef restaurant, such as Maruaki, to experience the best steak youll taste in your life. 6 Chome-8 Tenmanmachi, +81 577-35-5858, hidagyu-maruaki.co.jp cr7364

Noodles at Gamou-Udon, Shikoku island

Photograph: Alamy

For the true udon experience, go to Kagawa prefecture on Shikoku island. The signature foods here are soup and the al dente udon noodles. Gamou-Udon sits in the middle of farmland, dedicated to serving mainly udon and soba (thin buckwheat noodles) available only during its season from Nov-Apr. The menu is simple: small, medium or large noodles and you can add your own toppings (selection of tempura, fried bean curd and poached egg). I recommend to stay within three toppings to actually enjoy the noodles. This small hut that seats about 15 people gets very busy. People come, slurp the noodles and leave. Locals as well as Japanese tourists queue up during lunch hour. If you go too late, they will run out for the day so go early. It doesnt do dinner. Best udon Ive ever had (Im Japanese). 762-0023 Kagawa-ken, Sakaide-shi Alvin K Shimoju

Somen noodles, Shodoshima island

The small island of Shodoshima off Okoyama often gets overlooked by visitors to the Seto inland sea who favour its nearby arty, even smaller, neighbour Naoshima. Shodoshima, however, is a food paradise, from roadsides lined with olive groves, to the smell of sesame oil wafting through the air; food is central to life here. Highlights for visitors include Yamaroku, a small family soy sauce producer who estimates the age of its business through the ancient barrels its soy sauce ferments in. It is free to visit and you can climb up and look into the dark vats as well as sample a delightful spectrum of soy sauce products. Around the corner you will also find Nakabuan, a local somen noodle-maker where you can watch the thin wheat-flour noodles being hand-rolled, while eating the one dish on the menu, a bowl of fresh somen with dipping sauce.

Gold ice-cream, Kanazawa

Photograph: Guardian Witness/Claire Mason

The opportunity to indulge in a golden ice-cream is rare; but not here in Kanazawa. The city was spared from bombing during the second world war and has managed to retain its historic districts and charm. It produces almost all of Japans gold leaf, and there must be a surplus because its even used as an ice cream topping. You can buy the creamy, gold ice-cream from various stands in the historic parts of town. Claire Mason

Okonomiyaki pancakes, Hiroshima

Photograph: Getty Images/AWL Images RM

Street food has been mainstream in Japan for a while now, with variations on savoury pancakes in the 20 or so eateries in Hiroshimas Okonomiyaki building a classic example. Combining whatever ingredients you want fried up with fish stock and cabbage pancake mix is an unpretentious meal, eaten off up-turned beer crates while sat around the hot plate. The snack is highly visual, with a pizza-size lattice of mayonnaise and tangy sauce mingling with oscillating tuna flakes sizzling away. Yours for 7. Tayls79
