• Do you know where you can get the best sushi in the world? At Sushi Midori in Ginza. You will recognize the restaurant by the enormous line outside.

  One thing I loved about going to restaurants in Japan is the greeting you get upon walking in. All the sushi chefs will shout a loud "Irrashaimase" all at once, welcoming you to their restaurant. Here, I caught a couple of shots whilst the chef made my sushi for me in front of me while I sat at the bar. Yum yum!!!!

• Where is Tanabe in Manila? I've eaten in just about every Japanese restaurant in Manila but I don't recognize that ones name.
  
  My favourite one got blown up 2 years ago in the Ayalya Mall blast, I changed my mind at the last minute about going for lunch there that day, glad I did!

• With the freshest and finest from Tokyo markets. Happily they are open to the public again now. I am heading back to Japan soon, and this makes me look forward to the trip even more.

• Nice and good toning. The lines in the background are not straight, but probably I'll be the only one to notice :-)
