I’ve been to this cafe, Little Bird, multiple times. Not because I’m vegan or gluten free or anything, but because I had a roommate who would always say, “If you order something vegetarian, it’s on me.” So of course I always wanted to tag along on his trips to the local restaurants for vegetarian options, … Continue reading The Best Tokyo Gluten Free Cafe: Little Bird in Uehara Shibuya
Hi! These last few weeks have been hectic, but I figured I can at least throw together a few photos from my recent trip to the Peninsula Tokyo for their Easter themed afternoon tea.

Japan has taken a liking to Easter. And for those of us who are non-Christian, it’s all about the chocolate. Lambs, rabbits and eggs come second. So Valrhona, a German chocolate company, started up the Chocolat de Easter.

It’s in … Continue reading Dominique Ansel Bakery Grand Opening in Tokyo Ginza
I recently went to check out the Ginza Hub coworking space, the only all English coworking space in Tokyo they say. To be honest, this was my first time visiting a coworking space at all. I don’t know what I was expecting, but there was not front desk and I didn’t know what to do when … Continue reading Review of Ginza Hub Coworking Space in Tokyo
This morning I went to Harajuku/Omotesando area to have a manicure at Nail Salon Avarice. I’ve had somewhat fancy gel manicures done in Taipei, but have never bothered with hand drawn nail art. But Japan is known for its nail art! I couldn’t just ask for a boring glitter French. Inside is really eclectic and … Continue reading Japanese Gel Nail Manicure and Art at Salon Avarice in Harajuku
Time to explore Tokyo. Today I visited the KitKat Chocolatory in Ginza for the first time. The only reason I (and a lot of other people I’m sure) are interested in Japanese KitKat at all is because the flavors are so creative and unique.
