The kind of sunset that makes you forget the cold. Schneeberg in Austria wrapped in gold, for just a few minutes. ✨❄️

Round two of Osaka street food adventures: Taiko Manju! 🍡 These aren't just delicious; they're a perfect example of Japanese street food craftsmanship. Warm, fluffy, and with a rich red bean paste filling. Definitely a must-try. 💯

Thirty-five days, thirty head-tilting contradictions: from elevators that *never* break to cafés that shun outdoor tables, from bullet-train punctuality to websites that “sleep” at night. Roll with me through Japan’s elegant chaos—where radical accessibility and rigid rule-books somehow coexist—and see why I left with a lighter suitcase, a happier stomach, and a head full of marvels.

Japan in 30 Contradictions: My Wheelchair‑User’s Field Notes

I spent five spring weeks rolling from Seoul‑bound Kansai Airport through neon Osaka, temple‑speckled Kyoto and hyper‑dense Tokyo. Below is my long‑form unpacking of what startled me, delighted me, or left me scratching my head.

Verdict on the Hirota kitty head creampuffs? Really good! The choux was firm, but easy to bite into and had nice flavor. Cream was smooth and rich and the crunchy almonds + chocolate on the outside made it extra yummy. Would buy/eat again. https://www.the-hirota.co.jp/ #osakaeats

For our next #osakaeats experience, we tried the “kani aisu” / crab ice cream on Dotonburi - verdict? Had chunks of cooked crab in it, but… it kind of grew on me. Worth a try - not as gross as you might think it might be 🦀 🍨
Having “stringy cheesy” takoyaki at Kukuru Takoyaki near dotonburi as part of the @[email protected] #osakaeats tour
Stopped in my tracks by the sight of cute creampuffs in the Nishi Umeda station… #osaka #osakaeats
