Back to Tokyo
Scary post to write! Apparently I was tired of writing in my journal by now so I don’t have much to go on… but also the sadness of approaching our final destination is setting in. I honestly never wanted this trip to end, but here we are heading back to Tokyo, and the next stop… Continue reading

Dinner in Hiroshima
So the funny thing…. remember Waygu Labs? This is the father’s restaurant!! They overheard us talking about about last night’s steak dinner, and all the staff immediately shot looks back and forth, I couldn’t tell if they were impressed, or just amused? In any case they prolly knew by now we weren’t just casual foodies… Continue reading

Kobe to Hiroshima
The lunch here is hard to explain, basically lots of layers & sauces and the whole thing cooks down pretty flat. Very tasty! It’s been a reoccurring theme during the trip, noticing that tourism is up sharply since the last visit in 2023. When we were in Hiroshima the last time, we stuck out so… Continue reading

Beef Dinner in Kobe
Oh boy, so this was the big one. So excited for Matt to experience this, and honestly so excited for me to experience this again! Our sushi lunch was pretty amazing though… Matt went off to take a nap, Robert and I flipped through channels for a bit and then decided to head out. We… Continue reading

Take-Out Pizza!
(notes from March 2025) When we planned this trip, Sam was working for about twenty hours a week–easy! But by the time we got here, it was more like fifty, and her schedule typically dragged far into the night. Tonight we needed dinner, but she couldn’t get away to a restaurant and we were out… Continue reading

Dinner then off to Spetses!!
After dinner we ordered the delicious-sounding raspberry tarte for dessert!! The day did not begin very auspiciously… we were up all night worried about missing our early wake-up alarms and then having to pack, having to find a taxi and try to explain where we thought we wanted to go, etc., etc. And naturally it… Continue reading
