If you’re considering a small change to the shape of your nose without surgery, you may be thinking about nose fillers. Some people call this a non-surgical “nose job”, but it is not the same as surgical rhinoplasty. Nose fillers use injectable dermal filler to add volume in selected areas of the nose, and they […]

We’d just polished off lunch at Japanese Steak Bowl & Beef Curry (Center Beef), and dessert was non-negotiable. My hubby loves anything matcha, so I’d already pinned Kyoto Saryo Suisen at Shibuya Parco on the map. Short walk, big payoff. What is Kyoto Saryo Suisen? It’s a premium matcha café built around proper Uji matcha. […]

I used to be a medium-doneness person. Always. Steak came to the table and I’d ask for it cooked through enough that nothing looked too pink, let alone red. Then Japan happened.

We spent the afternoon walking the forested paths of Meiji Jingu. Gravel underfoot, towering trees overhead, barely a sound. Then we walked ten minutes down the road and hit Takeshita Street, where someone’s speaker was blasting J-pop at full volume and a shop the colour of a highlighter pen — Long! Longer!! Longest!!! — was selling the 10 Yen […]

After slurping down a comforting, steaming bowl of ramen at ICHIRAN in Asakusa for lunch, hubby and I hopped on the metro to check out one last shrine on our Tokyo itinerary: Meiji Jingu (Meiji Shrine) 明治神宮. Neither of us is religious, so our shrine visits aren’t about traditional prayer or specific rituals. Instead, it’s […]
