Trying new foods all around Tokyo!

After being asked multiple times, I decided to review this homemade coffee jelly. It was a very pleasant dessert, the nutty notes from the high quality coffee used worked very well with the milk. His knowledge of coffee and choice of beans really enhanced the flavour.

This tonkotsu ramen in theory is flawless. And yet, I find this perfection to be quite superficial. It may taste good, but the dish lacks any passion leading to the flavour having little to no depth. Perhaps perfection is overrated if it destroys the character this dish once had.

Whilst not food, after a very busy and shocking turn of events these past few days, I found the time to relax at a coffee shop and the drink was perfect! It was a shame though that my preferred establishment to drink coffee from was not open.

Today I went to get crepes with someone who’s also in the public eye and had highly recommended this local stand. The filings were high quality and overall this was certainly a delicious treat! I wonder if you can guess from this photo who accompanied me?

Happy Halloween! To celebrate I had some Halloween themed cookies! There seemed to be a lot of care and thought that went into these and they were delicious. This cookie in particular certainly has an odd but charming design.

After an exhausting day I decided to eat a slice of a St. Honoré cake! The different creams were made very well with the bitter taste of chocolate helping balance the sweetness of the overall dessert and cake itself wasn’t dry at all making the treat delicious.

Today I tried some delicious freshly steamed momiji manju! The leaf designs were expertly done and the custard filling was made to a high quality. I highly recommend for those who enjoy steamed treats on the sweeter side.

During this hot summer day I spent time in the museum and tried mizu shingen mochi! This raindrop cake was both fun in appearance and extremely refreshing. The taste is very mild and has a gelatinous texture but worked perfectly with the roasted soybean powder and sweet syrup.

This wonderfully sweet sticky mango rice was the perfect treat to eat this summer. The mango was perfectly ripe and the rice prepared well. I highly recommend this delightful food for anyone who enjoys fruit desserts!
