"if you love omakase its time to graduate to kaiseki Its where authentic Japanese food SHINES Kaiseki is essentially Japanese fine dining in a tasting menu format. Its still focused on fish and seafood (so yes youll get your uni and toro lol) but its more cohesive and balanced and the chef gets to show a wider range of skills since the dishes vary beyond that of a typical omakase experience. At Asakura they have so many details worth mentioning About XX% of all ingredients are flown in directly form Japan and those that arent are sourced locally like at the Santa Monica Farmers Market. And of"

"the CUTEST Korean cooking class I made a tangerine meringue pie all from scratch in Jeju Island Korea Its the perfect activity for friends couples and families. Each person gets their own cooking station thats fully stocked with everything you need and you start by picking your own vegetables from their garden Its super cute because they go the extra mile to get you an apron a sun hat and a basket to really make the whole experience and theres a photographer taking pictures the whole time (see results at the end). Its self-guided style where you can choose from a few different languages and"

"sharing one of my ALL TIME FAVES in LA Ji Rong is known for its peking duck in SGV but allll of the chinese dishes Ive tried there are good Theyre a local favorite and truly an authentic gem. My two must orders are the peking duck and mung bean jelly noodles Their watermelon juice is also INCREDIBLE and perfect if youre getting spicy dishes Parking: easy large lot and free street parking #pekingduck #chinesefood #sgv #sangabriel #losangelesfood #spicy"

"my FAVORITE meal in Korea 🌟 Gebang Sikdang is already very popular with locations in Gangnam and Seongsu and theyve been on the Michelin Guide for X consecutive years so you KNOW its good Both the soy marinated and spicy crab are VERY yummy with tons of roe No odd fishy taste either. Highly recommend for everyone - those who have been wanting to try this dish but a little apprehensive to eat raw seafood plus those who already know and love ganjang gejang but want to try a fancier nicer spot while in Seoul #rawmarinatedcrab #ganjanggejang #rawcrab #michelinguide #gangnam #seongsu"

"finally a trending spot thats actually SO SO GOOD The Korean barbecue experience at Hanmiok is essentially dinner and a show. We got the Mi set which includes a brisket sushi appetizer then two main meat dishes plus one cold soup and one hot stew. We also ordered the Korean cold noodles (nangmyun) and corn pot rice The total for five of us was $XXX or $XX each. Not bad at all The quality of meat + presentation of cooking were two major STANDOUTS. Definitely recommend for your Korea itinerary #koreanbarbecue #kbbq #seoulkorea #visitkorea #koreatravel #gangnam #beefbrisket #sirloin"

"Unique must try dishes that are famous in jeju island Korea Everyone knows to try jeju tangerines black pork and abalone but these might be lesser known. Theyre JUST as good And if youre not a fan of abalone (especially the super chewy texture) give bomal a shot I personally liked it better. The restaurant I went to is a famous spot called Haewoljeong in Seogwipo #jejuisland #koreanfood #visitkorea #seafood #abalone #kalguksu #porridge #sashimi #seogwipo #jejutravel #bomal #seaconch #jeju #koreaitinerary"

"this golden curry serves 2-3 people and is leftovers friendly Btw this recipe is pretty much whats on the box of golden curry with a few small adjustments If youre a fan of spice I recommend their hot version instead of the mild That one packs more flavor From prepping to serving itll take you about XX min total. I promise it is easy to cook requires just a few ingredients and will become a staple meal #goldencurry #japanesecurry #curry #easyrecipe #cookwithme #onepotmeal #asianmarket #japanesefood"

"my 5-minute fool-proof garlic bok choy recipe Its got ALL the right flavors while still being super easy to cook. Even beginners can make it well This recipe serves 2-4 people as a delicious side dish. I tested this recipe with baby bok choy regular bok choy and Shanghai bok choy. It works for all of them You MAY need to blanch regular bok choy (with the whiter stems) a few seconds longer than the Shanghai style though. Measurements for the sauce: X tsp soy sauce X tsp oyster sauce splash of sesame oil splash of water minced garlic to taste (2 cloves) #bokchoy #garlic #chinesefood #easyrecipe"

"another easy DELICIOUS korean banchan recipe This one is called kongnamul muchim or korean soybean sprouts Youll find these often served at authentic korean restaurants as a free side dish and they are SO satisfying to make at home Plus theyre super healthy and nutritious with lots of fiber TIP: You can find these at any asian grocery store. If youre not going to cook with them asap store them in the fridge in cold water and theyll stay fresh for MUCH longer TIP: To save time you can skip the pruning step where you snap off the stringy roots. For me though Ive always seen it as the korean"

"Ive LOVED spinach since childhood and this korean banchan is why This recipe makes for the perfect side dish for X people and is easily customizable to your taste. It also lasts in the fridge for up to X days and is best served chilled TIP: This dish is traditionally made with regular spinach NOT baby spinach. However Ive tested both and to me its fine to use either. Baby spinach is MUCH easier to find in the store and may be more accessible so I based this recipe around that TIP: When deciding on your portion a good rule of thumb is one bag or box of spinach will serve one person"

"how to spend a whole day at an onsen in Tokyo if your trip doesnt allow for a day trip to an onsen town like Hakone this is a really great way to experience the spa & onsen culture in Japan I went to toyosu manyo club Its a little far from some of the main areas like Shibuya but right by team lab planets and the famous Toyosu fish market Price is pretty great value and its a great way to kill time and truly relax before an evening flight or before checking in to your hotel #onsen #spa #tokyo #japantravel #explorejapan"

"review of the viral new restaurant in Ktown damsot I love a good set meal 🙂 this is their first US location and the first hot pot rice restaurant in LA despite how popular of a concept it is in Korea This helps explain the long lines too lol. Theyve got XX different options on the menu many of which are perfect for vegetarians and pescatarians. My MUST ORDER is the $XX beef belly set SO GOOD The fried shrimp is also great and the spicy stir fried pork and eggplant is a close second for me. I have heard some people say the steak set is a little tough since they come as large cubes so just be"

Highly recommend the non-marinated or marinated combos plus the mul nangmyun (Korean cold noodles) Or just get the Nangmyun + galbi combo That sounds AMAZING to me lol. #orangecounty #oceats #koreanbbq #kbbq #koreanfood #naengmyeon #gardengrove #losangelesfood"

"why go to Nara when you can come here Miyajima Island is the perfect day trip in Hiroshima Japan You take a short ferry ride over and the main attraction is visiting Itsukushima shrine and the floating torii gate. Its truly a must see Plus Miyajima Island is one of Japans three most scenic views. This is my second one checked off the list with my first being Amanohasidate a beautiful seaside town in Kyoto. There are wild deer EVERYWHERE in Miyajima and they are native to the island. They are very calm and friendly. Some must-dos for your itinerary: Itsukushima Shrine Floating Torii Gate"
