I’m not sure that I’ll end up writing about my latest Sydney trip. I’m so busy! I really should get around to the restaurant write ups. In the meantime, here’s some picture spam at Auburn Botanic Gardens.
It’s been a few years since I last stumbled across the barista championships. Since one of my baristas was competing this year, I figured I should try and visit!
Ah Inua. A super duper expensive place, that I really wanted to go to when I heard it opened, but after seeing how much it cost compared to actual Japanese restaurants, I didn’t want to go. But Thomas Frebel runs it, so…. Oh the agony!
However, I happened to have an extra couple of nights in Tokyo after my parents left, and decided at very short notice (two days), tried to book something. I tried to call Den about 68 times without success, but Inua was good to book online! And so here I was.
Yay, Tokyo! Wow, what a culture shock. Did I say that last time I went from Kyoto to Tokyo? I feel like this isn’t the first time I’ve actually felt that Tokyo is jarringly different from the rest of Japan.
