taste test (Page 28)
You’ll be tempted to try it because it’s a hard-to-get flavor, but tasting this delectable treat comes with a price.
If you’re looking for a very Japanese experience, this is a place you’ll need to put on the itinerary.
There’s nothing like the warmth of a freshly roasted sweet potato, so who wants to eat them cold? We do.
With hard-to-get ice creams and treats now available 24 hours a day, convenience stores better watch their backs.
Gaburi Suika includes the surprising addition of dragon fruit for a very limited-edition flavour combination.
They exclusively serve fancy Japanese-style pasta dishes at this restaurant, and the tofu is made in-house!
