One of the first words that a Japanese colleague ever uttered to me was, Mushashi ramen.

It is also so insanely cool that local Japanese (themselves, insanely cool) frequent this joint after work for an ice cold beer and some good authentic yakitori. Of course, it’s not just a manically [...]
Coco.Tei is a contemporary looking Japanese establishment which is the reincarnation of Hajime. Seeking to find its own stylized niche, it’s speciality here would be its Sushi, Sashimi and Maki rolls, but what peaked our curiosity was this one word on the menu – “kaiseki”. Ah, what do we know of the esoteric cuisine of [...]
You really feel like you are dining in an authentic, fashionable, ‘high-collar’ Japanese environment when you look around and see the pretty, meticulously neat Japanese lady who manages the place.
