Jimbocho Den （神保町 傳）, Tokyo
Apparently I eat more than I blog, but I have decided to finish all my blog post in 2014 before I was greeted by 2015. I will start this goal with Jimbocho Den, just because it’s one of the highlight of the year for me.

Sushi Ginza Iwa (銀座いわ), Hong Kong
Sushi Iwa – one of the 30 best sushi restaurants in Tokyo rated by Tabelog users – landed in Hong Kong. As expected sushi lovers in Hong Kong are looking forward to it in anticipation. I dropped by Sushi Iwa for lunch during their soft opening in September. Their shop’s located in Central, a prime location in the city. Continue reading
