@oadtop100 2021 included the casual list for Japan which is a big help for filling the gaps of dining around all the high end restaurants in different cities. You can see that these restaurants range from ramen, tonkatsu, pizza, yakitori, Unagi, sake restaurants, izakaya, cafe and coffee shops, patisseries and bakeries, curry, burger, soba, etc. There are quite a few that I enjoyed very much. The only caveat is that most of the ramen shops are truly mass or touristy, or they were once very good but now no longer the same I think this list for me is best used to studying travellers’ behaviours when it comes to casual shops. My hypothesis is that most diners from overseas are mainly eating at major destination restaurants when travel to other cities and return to Tokyo right away and hence did not have time to explore the small casual shops in other cities, hence the shops are heavily concentrated in Tokyo. But with time when global customers get more familiar with Tokyo they will spend more time on other regions outside of Kanto and this list will be more diverse in locations Right now the OAD 2021 Europe List is on live stream! Make sure you watch for the winning restaurants! I am hoping my favorite will be there even I couldn’t travel to them last year 🥲 #littlemeg_oad2021japan #littlemeg_oad2021japancasual #littlemeg_oad2021 #oadtop100 #littlemeg_japan #tokyo #kyoto #osaka #casualdining #日本

I was able to see the tea ceremony related exhibits for the first time in a long time.

I’ve been getting tons of messages about where I am, how long I’m staying, and about the places I upload to my stories, so here is a little update. 😊 I’m in Yamagata prefecture in the mountains nearby the ocean🏔🌿 I usually spend my summers here, and as always I’ll be back in the Kanto area by autumn🤎 Although I don’t travel for obvious reasons I love to explore nature around me and will continue posting about it in my stories ☺️☀️ #lifeinjapan #japangram
