No cap, Japanese beef is the tastiest ever!! You can get A5 Wagyu for a pretty decent price at lunch — this set’s like $15 or so. Like, what even was that nasty Indian curry tho? LOL

This country is like, total ramen heaven! I swear, even if I ate it every single day, I’d probably never hit up every place in my whole life. It seriously feels that way, lol.

Omg, Yoshinoya in Japan is having a crazy sale right now — a beef bowl is only like $2.60!! That’s cheaper than a bag of Lay’s Classic Chips lol. I couldn’t help myself and ended up getting, like, eight of them 😂

So today I had this thing called Indian curry—no clue what makes it ‘Native Americans,’ but OMG it was crazy spicy!! Like, it starts off kinda sweet and then BAM, the heat hits you outta nowhere. But it was sooo good!

All-you-can-eat is totally a thing here lol. This time it’s BBQ! You get two hours and it’s only 1980 yen—like 14 bucks—and it even comes with dessert 😭💕. Kinda sucks that the meat’s all from the U.S. tho, haha.

Okay so like, in Japan, Baskin-Robbins and this cute sweets brand called Fujiya teamed up and made a company called B-R Thirty-One Ice Cream—people there just call it '31'. But the wild part? Most people don’t even know it actually started as Baskin-Robbins!

Like, how many kinds of ramen are there in this country? It’s actually insane. Some of these are totally one-of-a-kind. The way ramen chefs here run their shops—like, putting their heart into making sure the customer leaves happy and smiling? You seriously don’t see that anywhere else.

In Japan, lunch is usually like a set, y'know? And it’s actually the right amount, so you’re not stuck with a bunch of leftovers. Honestly, not having to take stuff home is such a lifesaver.

I used to think Ichiran was the only good ramen out there—man, I was so wrong. Japan's got literally tens of thousands of ramen types, and every region has its own flavor, vibe, and shops that are super serious about how they make it

When I think of Japan, it’s all about matcha and melon soda. Like, for real—I'm totally addicted to melon soda now. I legit don’t know how I’m gonna survive back home without it. I can see the despair in your eyes when you get back home.
