Yakiniku Fujimasu, a Yakiniku Restaurant in Izumo
I came to Yakiniku Fujimasu for sukiyaki, Japan’s signature winter dish. Sukiyaki is delicious, but the price is enough to make you tremble. Since it’s hard to find in Korea, I set this up so my gu…

Naniwa Sushi is one of my favourite sushi places. I came by again this time, but the weather was bad, so the meal wasn’t as good as I’d hoped. Honestly, it’s a bit of a lottery. It’s ch…
After the eel I had soba in mind, but not many places are open on weekends. So I went back to Hazumiya. You can’t have a soba place without sake. I ordered atsukan (hot sake), and this is how they served…
Around mid-December we had a gourmet meetup to welcome the winter. The town I live in now faces the sea, so seafood is plentiful in winter. The idea was to invite some serious foodies from Korea and Tokyo and …
Before the big wave of Tokyo posts, let me start with Naniwa Sushi, where I went for the first time in a while. I booked ahead and had a reasonable amount. The sushi was as good as ever. Nodoguro Today’…

It was a weekend when I could finally relax for once, the weather was nice and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so I went out… well, not really… The cheap iPhone charger I’d bought in …
After a really thorough shopping trip at a big supermarket in Izumo called Youme Town, we visited Shimane Winery and Izumo Taisha. It was cold, but we covered all the main spots. It’s the same Japan, but…
Work took me out to Izumo Airport, and with a little time to spare I dropped by a soba shop nearby. Not skiving off, mind you, strictly an extension of work. I’m such a diligent, all-work type that every…
I figured I’d spend this weekend holed up in my room as an internet zombie again, but a last-minute plan came up and I ended up back at Naniwa Sushi, a place I’d been to before. The sushi, as alway…
There’s a small sushi place near (?) where I live that caters to the locals. It’s a good spot I’ve wanted to introduce for a while, and this time I somehow got lucky and managed to bring my c…
