Blue Water Cafe + Raw Bar – Unsung Heroes (Seafood) Festival

By Mijune

Despite Unsung Heroes being on it’s 10th year, it still doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Chef Pabst creates a genius menu showcasing under-utilized seafood and it’s one of my favourite menus of the year. The only “wrong” is that it is only available for the month of February.

Follow Me Foodie to Kyoto, Japan! (Where to eat in Kyoto?)

By Mijune

Home to thousands of Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, Kyoto is deeply rooted with culture, history and Japanese traditions. Kyoto-style sushi, Kaiseki Ryori, tofu, vegetable tempura, a Maiko dinner show and konpeito are some “must try” Kyoto specialties.

Follow Me Foodie to Tokyo, Japan!

By Mijune

Since Tokyo is the largest city in Japan, there are obviously going to be more restaurants, selection, choices and competition. With greater demand, often for top quality ingredients, a lot of the supply for the world’s “best” ingredients and products come to Tokyo first.

Follow Me Foodie to Japan (Tokyo & Kyoto): About Japanese Culture, People & Food

By Mijune

Japan was incredible. Culturally, visually, and mindfully stimulating, and often a bit challenging for a first time visitor. This trip was more than about eating and food, or crossing off any sort of “must visit” restaurant list, this trip was really about the relationship between food and culture.

What do ribs, chicken wings, pizza, Indian food and sushi have in common? They are all foods meant to be eaten with the hands. Yes, sushi is finger food. Chopsticks are still acceptable, but traditionally it is encouraged to enjoy well-made sushi with the hands.
