They say you haven’t truly experienced Japan until you’ve eaten your way through it—and after 10 days of exploring neon-lit alleys and quiet mountain towns, I officially agree. This guide is a curated look at everywhere we ate during our recent trip, from the best ramen in Shinjuku (which literally saved my soul after a rough flight) to the savory Okonomiyaki in Osaka’s Dotonbori district.
Whether you’re looking for the most vibrant matcha in Asakusa, hearty Hoto noodles by Mt. Fuji, or just need a few IBS-friendly travel tips for navigating the world of Konbini snacks and DisneySea treats, I’ve got you covered. This isn’t just a list of restaurants; it’s a personal ‘where we ate’ guide to help you navigate the ‘Kitchen of Japan’ with confidence. Pack your appetite (and your passport for that tax-free shopping!)—we’re heading to Japan.
