Every time I visit Dotonbori in Osaka, I always see the incredibly eye-catching Kani Doraku! That giant crab sign is so recognizable that it has practically become one of Dotonbori's iconic landmarks.

Every time I pass by, I can't help stopping to look at it, and I always think, "Next time, I definitely have to try it!" But even after several trips to Osaka, I still haven't actually sat down for a meal there. I always happen to have other plans or other food lined up.

Watching other people happily eating crab dishes while I can only quietly take photos is a little disappointing. But because I still haven't tried it, I'm even more excited about it.

Kyoto’s famous rich matcha langue de chat, “CHA no KA,” is something matcha lovers will really enjoy! As soon as you open the package, you can smell a light matcha aroma. The cookies are crisp, with matcha chocolate sandwiched in the middle, giving them a very rich matcha flavor overall.

What I like most is that they’re not just sweet. The matcha has a slightly bitter tea flavor, making them rich and layered. They’re delicious!
Momijido Main Store

Located on Omotesando shopping street, which connects the Miyajima pier to the World Heritage Itsukushima Shrine, this established Japanese confectionery shop has been a prominent store selling specialties like momiji manju, representative of not only Miyajima but also Hiroshima, for over 100 years since its establishment in Meiji 45 (1912).

When strolling around Miyajima, Momijido Main Store is really hard to miss. Its most famous item is Miyajima’s iconic “Agemomiji,” which is a regular momiji manju deep-fried until the outside becomes crisp. It’s warm in your hand and perfect for eating while you walk!

When you bite into it, the outside is lightly crisp, while the red bean filling inside is still soft, fragrant, and sweet. Eating it warm is a completely different experience from a regular momiji manju.
Sapporo TV Tower

Built in 1956 on Nishi 1-chome, the starting point of Odori Park, the Sapporo TV Tower is well known to locals and tourists alike as a landmark of Sapporo that has witnessed the city's development since its completion.

We came to the Sapporo TV Tower at night, just in time for the illumination. The entire tower lit up against the night sky and was very eye-catching even from a distance. Together with the lights of Odori Park, it gave downtown Sapporo a more romantic atmosphere.

Looking from Odori Park, you can see the tower blending into the surrounding streetscape. It's especially more charming at night when the lights come on than during the day. Strolling around while enjoying the night view was really relaxing.
