food and drink
Seilan is one of the most unique tipples in Japan, making sunsets appear like magic in “Blue Samurai” drinks.
Delivery drivers will stand two meters from your front door and watch as you pick up your pizza.
We visit the award-winning Starbucks to see if it’s still worthy of its title after a facelift.

New lineup will make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time to the heyday of Japanese coffeehouses.
Ever wanted to sip a rare coffee blend, made of beans from 100-year old trees in Panama? Lawson is here to help!
From fried noodles to “octopus balls”, what you’ll find at a festival food stall is probably nothing like you imagined Japanese food to be.
Enjoy new treats like a herring pie from Kiki’s Delivery Service or a sweet icy treat inspired by Castle in the Sky.
Kiri cheese is celebrating its 50th year with a limited-time cafe, open in Tokyo for one month only, so of course we had to check it out!
Nationwide, Japan Starbucks locations appear to be telling foreign customers to learn Japanese or risk anaphylactic shock.
