Flying into Japan, I experienced the worst turbulence in my life to the point I thought THIS IS IT 😳. What I learnt was that the turbulence was caused by two jet streams and this type of air current is very common during the winter season in Japan. Trust your pilots, they’re very skilled. . . . . . . . #vsco #vscocam #mtfuji #fujiyama #tokyo #japan #asia #onair #sky #windowseat #travel #solotravel #lifestyle #holiday #東京 #日本 #富士山 #景 #觀光 #旅遊 #自由行 #scenery #nature #landscape

Since it is the weekend, the next three posts are going to be cocktails I’ve had at the best bar I’ve encountered on my first night out in Ginza. 📍@mixology_salon | @ginzasix_official One out of six cocktail bars around Tokyo, each with their own specialty. Mixology salon is known for their tea infused cocktails aka “teatails”. I ordered a 3 cocktail course. Makoto Minoura- the bartender mixed all the drinks so elegantly it was very relaxing to watch. Starting off with the first drink, it is a genmaicha infused gin with tonic. Your simple gin and tonic with a hint of roasted tea at the back of your palate. The slight bitterness from the cocktail combined with the sweet matcha brownie is a match made in heaven. . . . . . . . . . #nofilter #ginzasix #ginza #tokyo #japan #asia #food #foodporn #foodie #dessert #alcohol #cocktails #bar #tea #infusions #specialty #cocktailbar #gin #genmaicha #travel #solotravel #lifestyle #holiday #monolidgirleats #銀座#日本#さけ#飲め#玄米茶#igtokyo

Such little time and such small stomach so what’s better than combining two things I want into one meal. Curry and udon! Ps. I really need to finish up with my food posts so I can share some scenery photos! . . . . . . . . #vsco #vscocam #vscofood #asakusa #tokyo #japan #asia #food #foodie #foodporn #curry #udon #tokyoeats #tokyoig #travel #solotravel #cheapeats #lifestyle #monolidgirleats #東京 #浅草 #日本#日本料理 #かれー #うどん #食べ物

In japan, it is a tradition to have soba noodles on New Year’s Eve. As Kyohei have explained to me, “Toshikoshi” Soba means the old year passing. Where can I find some legit soba noodles in Auckland? . . . . . . . #vsco #vscocam #vscofood #roppongi #tokyo #japan #asia #japanese #food #foodie #foodporn #toshikoshisoba #tempura #soba #monolidgirleats #travel #solotravel #lifestyle #tokyoeats #holiday #newyearseve #newyear #日本#日本料理 #としこしそば #そば#天ぷら#食べ物 #東京
