Delicious sushi supper at Sushi Zanmai @ Akihabara, Tokyo

Sushi Zanmai is a famous sushi chain restaurant in Japan. I like the outlet located in Akihabara as it near to the place that I stay in Tokyo, reasonable price, fresh and open for 24 hours. Since I am going back on the next day morning, having premium sushi as supper here is a bliss. For those who can't speak Japanese, no problem as they have English menu. This is good option for you to have good sushi while visiting Japan.

Taste:10/10(Excellent. Really fresh sushi and taste great. The best is still their fatty tuna. The fatty tuna is delicious and sweet).
Price:4/10(Near expensive. Although the price is on the high side, but it worth it. I ordered 12 pieces of ala carte sushi at 3600 Yen plus tax. This price is very reasonable if you compared it to other sushi restaurants in Tokyo).




Fatty tuna (toro). 398 Yen.

Medium fatty tuna. 298 Yen.


Conger eel sushi. 398 Yen.

Gyukaku premium Japanese BBQ dinner set @ Ueno, Tokyo

Gyukaku is a famous chain restaurant serving quality yakiniku in Japan. They have many restaurants worldwide which includes presence in USA, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Jakarta and Malaysia. In Japan, you can find Gyukaku at just around the corner of district. I had the barbecue dinner in Gyukaku outlet in Ueno, Tokyo.

Taste:8/10(Good. The beef were marinated for you and you have to grill it yourself to your liking. Good variety of beef provided and the beef were adequately marinated. However some of the parts were a bit rubbery after grill. I expect the meat to have more flavour on it. The meat were fresh and taste wise is good).
Price:5/10(Near expensive. I ordered their premium beef set which consist of platter of beef slices (brisket, round primal cuts and tenderloins), beef tongue, beef intestine/hormone, vegetarian noodles, green tea, tofu as dessert, rice, vegetables with kimchi appetizer and salad. All these priced at 3,218 Yen include tax).


Grilling beef tongue.


Good barbecue system. Gyukaku uses special smokeless BBQ roaster which can suction off most of the smoke in their down draft system. The best thing eating here is that you won't smell like walking BBQ stove as soon you finished your lunch or dinner.

Cheap vintage clothing from Bingo @ Shibuya, Tokyo

Bingo used clothing store located in Shibuya is one of the best store to shop for quality vintage branded clothing at reasonable price. The best thing about Japan vintage clothing is that you are able to find good condition clothing and some even new. Probably the clothes out of fashion or have some minor manufacturing defects. But who cares about that as long as the cloth is still clean and looking good when wearing it. Here you are able to shop for working shirts, jeans, pants, leather jackets, boots, shoes, watches, wallets, bags and winter jackets. Bingo cater more for men market as almost 75% of the floor are selling men's products. The rest 25% are ladies products more on clothing. Shopping for vintage item is like a treasure hunt as you need to get a right size and at a right price. Even if the price is right and if the size of the clothing don't fit you, it defeat the purpose as well. Most of the items priced between 800 to 4,000 Yen. The price depends on the brand and condition of the item.
