Strawberry Mania@Tokyo Shibuya ★★

Strawberry Daifuku Soft Serve. The Daifuku was kind of chewy. Best to bite from the sides rather than in the middle. Strawberry a bit sour. Cute presentation.

Irori No Okkyagari 囲炉裏のおっきゃがり活魚煙舎@Osaka Abeno 阿倍野★★★

Impressive Izakaya Grilled in Hearth Fireplace. Amazing seafood. Fun dining experience. As seen on Instagram. Definitely a quality hidden gem. Love the rice with my favorite condiments that I ordered such as Marinated Egg Yolk. Located in Abeno, the city with the tallest building (Observatory) in Osaka. So nice to dine with local Japanese friend so I can get interpretation. (I am usually clueless.) Limit 2 hours seating. Reservations recommended.
