Vineyards in the Spring

Taken at the Shiraz Republic.

Lamb Shanks @ Platform 270

Despite it being technically “Spring”, the lamb shanks and polenta goes very well with the winter weather that isn’t letting up. They’re right next to Flinders Street Station, hence the name.

Tulips @ Tesselaar

A spring-exclusive. Come for the tulips, stay for Australia’s largest clog! They’re on until Mid-October.

Late Bloomers

The buds are itching to open. It’s just a little too cold still.

Winter at Jinzu River

Dinner at Kashiwaya Senriyama Osaka

Had the pleasure to enjoy this feast, and with a relatively last-minute reservation too. At 3 Michelin stars (plus a Green Star for sustainability), the 2-3 hour dinner is something to carve out your itinerary for. Each course has its purpose explained in detail (the Hassun was definitely the most memorable for its reinterpretation of a springtime flower viewing picnic), and everything is enjoyable both on the eyes and in the mouth.

Pocket Concierge has been a huge help in securing bookings. Used them previously and thoroughly recommend them.
