I have finally come to this post on what’s to eat in Japan. A list budget food, to be precise, which any working class from Malaysia should not have problem with the expenses. 1. Kaiten Sushi Kaiten sushi is the conveyer belt sushi, not unlike our Sakae and Sushi King. For roughly around 100 yen […]
Musashi Kaiten Sushi @ Kyoto Station
As warned, my blog will be overflowed with my witch hunt for kaiten sushi in Japan. Here’s our favourite, throughout the Japan trip – Musashi kaiten sushi in Kyoto Station. Unlike other sushi we had tried, Musashi caters mainly for working class judging from our observation during our 3 times visits, rather than student. It’s […]
Tokushima Ramen Todai and Yatsuhashi @ Kyoto Station
Ramen is one of the must have dish when visiting Japan, or so I heard. Yet, in the midst of being caught up in the sushi and donburi craze, we forgot about ramen until we arrived at 10th Floor of Kyoto station. Nestled on this floor is the Kyoto Ramen Koji (meaning Kyoto Ramen street), […]
100 Yen Sushi in Kyoto
There’s plenty of cheap kaiten sushi in Japan and our discovery of affordable sushi didn’t just stop at Uobei Sushi. We continued to hunt down a few outlets that supply scrumptious sushi without hurting the pocket. One notable 100 yen sushi in Kyoto is Kura Sushi, a short distance from Nijo train station. Once you’re out […]
Nakau, the cheap nice Japanese fast food chain
Unlike Malaysia, fast food is not a synonym with McDonald in Japan but mostly associated with eatery chain serving simple traditional Japanese meal. We had the luck of trying most of the bigger brands like Yoshinoya, which unfortunately vanished from Malaysian market, Sukiya (which is the young gun in Malaysia) and to add to the […]
Japan Trip Day 12 Kyoto – Yasaka, Maruyama Park, Nishiki Market
I swear we didn’t mean to visit so many shrines and temples in Japan, but there were just too many of them and half of them are like, world heritage? Every time we got off a bus, we were bound to find ourselves in front of a temple. Day 12 is no exception as we […]
Japan Trip : Kiyomizudera Temple and Pontocho, Kyoto
I was super excited that we were going to trace Jean Reno’s footsteps in Kiyomizudera. We watched Wasabi many years back and a short portrayal of Kiyomizudera left me in awe. I told CS, “I want to go this!” I’ll introduce Kiyomizudera later on since we made the first stop at Ginkakuji since we are […]
Japan Trip – Day 10 Fushimi Inari and Arashiyama
Let me introduce you to the ‘red gate district’. You can see the red Shinto torii gates all over Japan, but I wonder if there is any other place that has as much torii gates as Fushimi Inari. Seriously, a lot. Of course, we shouldn’t be surprised as Fushimi Inari is the head shrine dedicated […]
Japan Trip Day 9 – Nara Day Trip
We fully utilised our JR Pass again and we started on our Nara day trip by taking the JR Nara line. Kyoto Station is not as busy as Tokyo Station, but it doesn’t make them less complicated. We soon learned that the easy way is to find out the track number from JR staffs and […]
Japan Trip – Day 8 Arashiyama, Kyoto
It was the eighth day since our arrival in Japan and we can’t wait to leave Hiroshima. It’s not that Hiroshima has less to offer, but we can’t stay a single night in the Park Side hotel anymore. We were back on Shinkansen hopping again and the first Shinkansen we took for the day was […]
