TSUKIJI OUTER MARKET – OYSTER GRAB OYSTER GO

Hi there

I love my oyster, and my favourite oyster is definitely from either NZ or Japan. NZ is because the fresh after taste while for Japan will definitely because of the rich creamy flavour.

If you do visit Tsukiji, I will recommend you to try out buying some fresh oyster from there, and slurp it there on the spot too. In the wet market itself, you can find seafood stores selling oyster, and you pay either 300 yen / 400 yen / 700 yen / 1000 yen for different oyster from different parts of Japan.

JAPAN – THE PARADISE OF BEVERAGES & THE BEAUTY OF JAPANESE VENDING MACHINES

Hi there

Ahh.. The paradise of beverages, I truly believe is no other than Japan. The vast varieties of drinks from soda to fruit juice, to beer to sake, to health drinks to coffees, it is impossible to know how many kind of drinks is actually available in Japan. Not counting those limited editions you can find during seasonal changes or special events. 🙂

And I think one thing I like about the beverages is that they usually cost 100 – 150 yen, which is equivalent to around $2, but you get really nice tasting or special ones.

MUST DO IN JAPAN – IZAKAYA HOPPING – JAPANESE PUBS AT ITS BEST

Hi there

If you are in Japan, there is one quintessential thing that you ought to do over there, and it is visiting the Japanese drinking places or pubs or Izakaya. They are little small pubs where you can definitely experience the local Japanese way .

This time round we went to Omoide Yokocho which loosely translated to Memory Lane, a small area near Shinjuku train station, where you can find lots of small Izakaya or Yakitori bars in there.
