Chilean Sea Bass @ TWG Cafe

When you’re a little more peckish at tea time.

Seaside Tea Time

Taken at The Apurva Kempinski Bali.

Tea Time ft. Caviar

Caviar with a smoky tea pairing is certainly unique.

Matcha and Warabi Mochi @ Cafe Katsute

Dessert for a refined palate. The mochi’s only mildly sweet, with a fragrant, herby but bitter cup of matcha. Lots of other mochi and green tea places around the country, but this is worth a visit if you’re in Takayama.

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.

Twilight Tea Fields

Taken outside the Osulloc Tea Museum. We probably would’ve had time to visit if we weren’t discriminated against at the airport and left stranded.

Green Tea Latte

It actually smells good too.
