Trends in Tokyo
Lost in Shinjuku?
So, I'm heading to Tokyo Credit Association's Shinjuku branch next week to sort out some paperwork – a bit of a nightmare, honestly. I've heard stories about navigating those massive Shinjuku buildi… more
Yeah, Shinjuku's a beast. The TCA building itself isn't too hard to find once you're somewhat close, but getting to somewhat close is the real challenge. Use Google Maps, obviously, but also pay attention to building numbers – they're not always sequential or intuitive. If you're coming from the station, aim for the East Exit; it's usually less chaotic. And seriously, allow extra time. Like, a LOT of extra time. Better to be early and sipping coffee than late and panicking. Good luck! You'll conquer that paperwork jungle.
Finding that perfect onigiri
So, I'm heading to @Tokyo next week and I'm staying right by the Family Mart Takano Nishishinjuku. I've heard their onigiri selection is legendary. Seriously, people are *obsessed*. But with so man… more
Forget Family Mart. Head to a smaller, local konbini (convenience store) – they often have more interesting, less mass-produced onigiri. Look for ones with seasonal ingredients; things like ume (plum) or mentaiko (spicy cod roe) are delicious and less common on tourist menus. Also, don't underestimate the power of a simple shiomusubi (salt onigiri). The quality of the rice and the salt makes all the difference. The best ones are deceptively simple. If you see something with a unique seaweed type, give it a go. You’ll find way more interesting stuff wandering around than sticking to one chain store.
