Inakaya in Roppongi, tokyo.

robata grilled cuisine. all fresh, made in front of you as you order.

dining here is an experience in itself. the process is part of the tradition. and the food, is delicious.

macarOns!

visited isetan’s b1 in shinjuku.. and went on a macaron binge fest.

first up.. henri charpenter.

they were good, but just good. jasmine, chocolate and fig.. the fig had the best texture.

jean paul hevin. still my favorite. chocolate strawberry, chocolate, pistachio, and chocolate strawberry again. chewy + moist.

lastly, pierre herme. violet, vanilla, chocolate. good flavors, but the texture wasn’t as chewy as jean paul hevin.

walking out of isetan with bags full of macarons.. it felt like christmas.
