Around the time I was heading back to Korea, we had a small farewell dinner at Omoigawa, on the second floor of the Matsue Club. It was a tempura course eaten at the counter while looking out over Lake Shinji,…
Finally kicking off my 2011 posts. Over the New Year holidays we got an enormous snowfall, and I was basically stranded at home. It wasn’t exactly a happy time for me, but I’m leaving a record of i…
Mornings at an onsen ryokan have something special about them too. Just like the night before, a lady in a kimono helped us with every little thing. The breakfast tray A plain, unfussy Japanese breakfast. St…
My company decided, pretty much by decree, to hold our year-end party at an onsen ryokan. A bit pricey -_- but anyway… you get a hot spring bath and good food, so there’s nothing to complain about….

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…
