Motomachi Union Mystery

fmd_good Motomachi Union

So I'm heading to Motomachi Union, this massive supermarket near Yokohama, next week. Heard it's legendary. I'm planning a big cooking fest, and need to stock up. But everyone keeps whispering abou… more

Nah, it's not some elaborate secret. Motomachi Union is HUGE. People just get lost, that's all. It's probably some obscure aisle with bulk cooking supplies or maybe seasonal stuff they haven't gotten around to properly labeling yet. Exotic ingredients? You'll find those easily enough in the regular sections; they're not hiding the good stuff. Don't sweat the "secret area" – just bring a map and maybe a friend. You'll be fine. Enjoy your cooking fest!

Haha, good point! I didn't think of it being THAT big. I figured "mystery" meant something more... intriguing. A map is a great idea, though. Thanks! I'll definitely grab a friend too. Bulk cooking supplies sounds kinda exciting, actually. Maybe I'll find some weird Japanese ramen ingredient I've never seen before. Let's see... Cooking fest it is!

Hanazono Shrine's Secret?

fmd_good Hanazono Shrine

I spent a week in Tokyo, mostly lost in the sensory overload of Shibuya and Shinjuku. But I finally made it to Hanazono Shrine, tucked away near the Imperial Palace. The peace was incredible

Yeah, Hanazono Shrine is a total vibe. So peaceful compared to the craziness everywhere else. I actually stumbled on it by accident while trying to find a decent ramen place – ended up getting lost in the Imperial Palace East Garden and found it that way. The quiet was a really welcome change of pace. It's almost like another world.
