KakigÅri is Japan’s name for shaved ice, but they take it to a different level than, say, snowcones in the US. The ice is shaved much thinner, so it’s fluffy, and they usually use condensed milk along with flavored syrup, so it’s creamy and sweet. Matcha is my favorite!

One of the most common ways to get coffee here is with these little one-time pour-over packages; most hotels will have a couple in your room when you get there. Very easy and very fun!

This was one of the first meals I ate out in Japan, and it’s still one of the best! A bowl of ramen from a little shop on top of a big shopping mall; absolutely delicious. If you’re ever in Akihabara, it’s worth going to Yodobashi Akiba just for this!

Some of our friends suggested a part of the blog just for pictures of food we’ve eaten – this is going to be that section! Japan has a ton of fantastic food that’s as fun to look at as it is delicious, and this seems like a fun way to share it with our friends!
