Japan 2019 – Part 1
Oh man too many holidays at once. This Japan trip was actually a family holiday, where my mum wanted to visit a heap of different places. The trip was mainly based in Hokkaido, and I wasn’t sure if I’d enjoy the trip or not since it wasn’t a food based trip, and I’ve never done a not-food-based-trip before. It turns out I loved it! It’s rare for my to have a life changing holiday, but this one was pretty incredible. Because I’m still sick of typing many words, this will just be mainly picture spam because I took a LOT of photos!
We started off in Tokyo, and here’s a coffee my brother fetched for me. It’s notable because it’s a warm can, and apparently it’s a single origin – Ethiopia Mokka. It didn’t taste terrible, just bland XD

Bar Masa
Masa, the 600USD restaurant. Insanely expensive, so much so that I really didn’t want to fork out the money for it. However, while staking out Per Se, I noticed that they had what appeared to be a bar section. Turns out they accept walk ins here, and so I decided to hedge my bets. I’d come here, and spend less money than if I went to Masa itself. My goal was 300 – 400USD.

The New York Dream – Part 6 – You’re on an island, but you’re not stuck on it
Day 22 – 25/04/2019
With only two days left of my trip, it was time to decide how to finish up. I already knew what I’d do on my last day, but first, it was time to find breakfast. It was time to try for the maple cruller again, because why not! This time I got up early and headed over to Daily Provisions, and lo and behold, a maple cruller in its oil soaked glory! The waitstaff even recognised me from a couple of days earlier!

Eleven Madison Park (bar)
Yeah. I’m crazy. Crazy for this place, and crazy in general. I can’t explain why I love Eleven Madison Park so much, it’s just one of those things I guess! But after my first visit, the seasons changed. Seasons changing meant winter to spring, to ramps, and to snails!! Minty snails!!! Yes?!?!
Yeah, I came here just for the snails. But I got so much more than that!

Momofuku Ko (bar)
Originally I was going to incorporate Momofuku Ko into my normal posts, but considering that Ko is a big name/high end restaurant, it’s getting its own post! I didn’t actually dine in the restaurant, but rather, took a seat at their bar for some grub.

Gramercy Tavern
I had no idea what kind of restaurant I was going to. Gramercy Tavern was a place that the waiter from Per Se suggested, and since I had no dinner plans, checking this place out felt like a good idea since good old Google said they served American fare.

The New York Dream – Part 5 – If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere
Day 15 – 18/04/2019
It was high time I made my way to Stumptown, since that’s another big name coffee roaster here.
