  08.26.07 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  Anyone in Namba, Osaka and looking for some decent ice cream could do far worse than go to Namba Parks‘ Cinemas on the 8th floor and enter the Astonish ice cream shop. They have some of the best ice cream I have ever tasted. I recommend the Suntan Beach.

  I haven’t done a You are what you eat post for a long time. This is Matsuzaka Beef Donburi eaten in Ise near the grounds of Ise Shrine. It’s beef on rice in a bowl. Matsuzaka Beef is even more delicious than Kobe Beef in my opinion. The standards maintained for Matsuzaka beef are very [...]
