Canteen – 124th St, Edmonton
The Canteen is consistently one of Edmonton’s best modern brunch place. Associated with the iconic Red Ox Inn, you can tell where it gets its roots.
Sushizanmai Honjin – Ginza, Tokyo
Stopped by Sushizanmai Honjin via a website’s listings in Ginza. This restaurant serves decent sushi, with a very friendly staff, highlighted by sushi bar seating and interactions with the sushi chefs along with some quality bites of sushi and some more unique sushi.
Roku Sanroku – Umeda, Osaka
Ok let’s talk about the real deal, best ramen I’ve ever had. Down a back alley away from the street lights of Umeda, Osaka. We wandered into this hole in the wall restaurant late one evening. Little did I know Roku Sanroku has a 14 locations, mainly within the Osaka area.
Cafe de Ginza – Ginza, Tokyo
This might be definitively the best cafe style dessert place I’ve ever been. I’m usually just about the food. Service and ambiance is takes a back seat unless it’s terrible or extraordinary.

Accidental Blue Rare – St. Albert
So while trying to go to vinyl rock cafe one Saturday night after a movie me and a few buddies accidentally walked into Blue Rare steakhouse in St. Albert’s quaint downtown.
Eorzea – Akihabara
So guess we stumbled on this crazy little cafe, Pasela resorts x FINAL FANTASY. Pasela has at least one other cross over restaurant I know of with Capcom in Shinjuki, I didn’t see any street fighter or mega man so I passed. The ambiance of Eorzea is something pretty special. These guys know how to […]
Kinzuna Sushi – Shinjuku
After getting lost for a few hours trying to find our hotel, we found our bearings and headed out to Shinjuku for a quick late dinner. We just wondered around pretending like we had options as to what to eat.
