Tokyo Midtown Hibiya | Review by Gina C

Omoshiroi Koibito is a distinctive Kansai souvenir. It’s quite different from Hokkaido’s Shiroi Koibito, with thin cookies sandwiching a sweet soy sauce filling unique to Kansai. It has a subtle soy sauce aroma and a distinctive sweet-and-savory flavor, followed by a hint of soy sauce sweetness, so it’s not simply sweet. The cookies are light and crisp, and they go surprisingly well with the sweet soy sauce filling. The more you eat, the more flavorful they become!

What I liked most about the omurice at Hokkyokusei was the egg on top. It was really soft and tender! When the dish arrived, the golden egg looked so appetizing. I gently cut into it with a spoon, and the texture was soft, tender, and slightly moist. It was silky smooth, with a distinct egg flavor. It went well with the fried rice underneath and didn’t taste too heavy. You could enjoy the egg’s delicate texture in every bite. I originally planned on just having a simple meal, but it turned out to be quite tasty. No wonder Hokkyokusei’s omurice is so famous!

When you visit Odaiba in Tokyo, you definitely shouldn't miss Rainbow Bridge! It looks imposing during the day, and even more romantic when it's lit up at night. The entire bridge sparkles against the night sky over Tokyo Bay and is truly beautiful.
From around Odaiba Seaside Park, you can enjoy views of Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Bay, and the Statue of Liberty all at once. Taking a leisurely stroll in the sea breeze makes for such a relaxing atmosphere.
