It’s hanami season at bills again! ? Tokyo is expecting rain all week so it’s the perfect time to enjoy the fleeting beauty of the cherry blossoms indoors with some tasty treats instead ?☕️?️ Check out the seasonal cherry hibiscus daiquiri, cherry shrub soda (non-alcoholic) and the ricotta and cherry buttermilk muffin (yum!!) all amongst the blossoms in full bloom, until April 6th at bills. ?☺️ I also personally recommend trying the mentaiko taramasalata on toasted sourdough! I’d never tried (or heard of) taramasalata before but it is definitely a new fave. ??? A cozy lunch and coffee surrounded by books and blossoms is definitely a vibe ???? ? @bakairu #pr #bills #billsjapan #hanamiatbills #gifted

I recently joined a ByFood tour that took me on a tour of some of Nihonbashi’s historic restaurants, all around or OVER 100 years old! There is so much history to discover in Nihonbashi and it was wonderful to have a local, English-speaking Japanese guide show me all the shops that locals have loved since the Edo period. Make sure to book this Evening Food Tour of Nihonbashi through the link in my bio using my code BYFOODSHIZUKA for a discount (and a taste of history)! ? #PR #tokyofoodtour 　　 #nihonbashi #japanesecuisine #foodadventure #japanesefood #izakaya #AsahiSuperDry

Are you brave enough to try level 30 spice?! ? Recently tried Miyazaki-style spicy noodles at @masumoto_official in Shimokitazawa and went for the maximum spice (but apparently you can request up to level 50!) Definitely get the classic noodles for the hottest experience and the tomato ramen for something a bit easier on the tongue! Think you can handle the spice?! ?? Let me know if you want to see me try more spicy food ??? ?Karamenya Masumoto Shimokitazawa ?元祖辛麺屋桝元 下北沢店 #PR #karamenyamasumoto #shimokitazawa #spicynoodles #level30 #tomatoramen #辛麺屋桝本 #トマト麺 #辛麺 #30辛 @masumoto_official

Need a better night’s sleep?? 睡眠不足のみなさん、注目！！☝?? Introducing @koala.jp ‘s new and improved mattresses: the “Koala Mattress Plus” and “Koala Mattress Supreme”! ?☁️ After 7 years of extensive research, these mattresses have been designed to match perfectly with Japan’s climate and lifestyle. ?? @koala.jp から「コアラマットレスプラス」と「コアラマットレスシュプリーム」が新発売！??? 7年間徹底的にリサーチし、日本の気象やライフスタイルにぴったり合った、心地いいサポート力と通気性をアップしたマットレスを開発しましたー！なんと、日本の暑い夏にひんやり、寒い冬にふんわり暖かいリバーシブルカバーがついてます? 人気のコアラオリジナルマットレスと同様、好みの硬さに調整できるコンフォートレイヤーももちろんついているので、自分に合った最適な睡眠が一年中できます??☁️ 個人的にコアラマットレスに変えてから寝るのが本当に楽しみになりました！? 雲の上に寝ているような心地よさ☁️?? Not only can the new mattress series be adjusted to your preferred firmness like the Original Koala Mattress, they now also come with improved support, air flow and a *new reversible cover* that’s cool in the crazy hot Japanese summers and warm and cozy in the cold winters (if you live in an older Japanese house you know it’s cold!! ??) Getting a Koala mattress has personally given me the most comfy sleeps I’ve ever had so I wholeheartedly recommend it if you want to feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud! ☁️☁️?? Also, a portion of Koala proceeds goes to protecting wildlife!! ??? In Japan, proceeds go toward protecting the rare and endangered Amami rabbit, which only lives on two small islands in southern Japan, and the equally endangered Miyako grass lizard, which also only exists in the Miyako Islands of southern Japan. ??❤️ Check out the new series at @koala.jp! ?? 睡眠を上質したい方は是非@koala.jpをチェックしてください〜！?? #PR #コアラマットレス #マットレス #新製品 #koalamattress #mattress #new

It has officially been a month since I got my new much-needed Koala mattress and I am loving it! I can honestly say it’s the most comfortable bed I’ve ever owned and I look forward to going to sleep in it every night. ??☁️✨ I also love how well designed (and waste-free) the assembly of the bed frame was and the overall sustainability of the brand and the materials used. ? Would you be brave enough to try the wine challenge on your mattress?! ??? コアラマットレスを使い始めてから1ヶ月が経ちました！雲の上に寝ている感覚で毎晩寝るのが楽しみすぎる。パートナーが動いたり、起きたりしても全然気づかない！?☁️✨ コアラが環境保護やサステイナビリティをすごく意識していて、尊敬するブランドです。??? 皆さんはワインチャレンジ試せる勇樹ありますか？？?? #PR #コアラマットレス #マットレス #koalamattress #mattress

If you’re looking for something new and fun to do in Osaka, try experiencing the 1500-year history of Sumo wrestling through a night-time entertainment show where *you* might even get to face off with a sumo wrestler! ??? Newly opened on May 30, 2024, THE SUMO HALL HIRAKUZA OSAKA gives you the opportunity to watch a fun and performative sumo show while enjoying a traditional style bento box, take photos with the sumo wrestlers, AND if you’re lucky, test your strength against one on the stage! ? (There is a limit on the number of people who get to try the Sumo wrestling experience though!) Getting thrown around by a sumo wrestler is definitely an experience I won’t forget. ? There is also a lovely hotel only 5 min away from the Sumo Hall called Keihan Hotel Grande Namba that’s super comfy and convenient to stay in if you’re going to the show! Check it out when you’re in Osaka! ? 夜の時間を持てあましている人必見！?? 1500年以上の歴史を誇る「相撲」をテーマにした体験型ナイトエンターテインメントショー 「ＴＨＥ ＳＵＭＯ ＨＡＬＬ 日楽座 ＯＳＡＫＡ］が2024年5月30日にＯＰＥＮ！ 日本の伝統的なＦＯＯＤ「幕の内弁当」などを食べながら相撲ショーを堪能できるだけでなく、実際に土俵に上がって力士と触れ合ったり、力士と記念撮影まで楽しめる新感覚のナイトエンターテインメンショーホールなのです！ (相撲体験は人数制限あり) お相撲さんに振り回されて一生忘れられない経験になりました！? 今度大阪に行ったら是非体験してみてください〜！?? ※日本ではお酒は20歳から @japanhirakuza #osaka #kansai #kansaitrip #japantravel #discoverjapan #visitjapan #japantrip #japantravel #sumo #sumoshow #nightentertainment #hirakuza #japangram #travelgram #tripstagram

In honor of World Environment Day today, I’m proud to collaborate with @koala.jp , a brand I’ve looked up to for a long time now for their strong environmental initiatives. ??? Every year, about 1 ton of their bed sheets are returned, so as a solution to prevent waste, Koala has started making fair trade, upcycled tote bags out of their high quality linens, that are made in collaboration with Japanese people who have disabilities, providing them with new work opportunities. What a seriously remarkable solution to diverting perfectly good fabric from the trash while also contributing to the community. ???? Starting today, the first 100 people to make a purchase of over 40,000 yen at the Koala Omotesando Showroom will receive one of these Koala Original Eco Bags for free! ? If you were thinking of getting yourself a super comfy mattress from an environmentally and socially conscious company, today would be a great day to do it! ??? 世界環境デーを記念に、ずーと好きだった@koala.jp のエコキャンペーンをご紹介します！??? 年間、約1トンの返品リネン製品を勿体なくしないため、障がい者施設の方々に制作を依頼して、一つとして同じものがない、返品リネンを使用したアップサイクルエコバッグを制作することになりました。高品質なリネン類を捨てないで、本当に環境にも、人々にもいい取り組みだと思います。???? 今日から、コアラ表参道ショー ルームで4万円以上購入した、先着100名がこの「コアラオリジナルエコバッグ」をプレゼントでもらえます！? 心地良くて、環境にも優しいコアラマットレスを気になっていた方は今日表参道で見に行くいいチャンスかも〜！??? #PR #koalamattress #mattress #コアラマットレス #マットレス #goodforplanetandpeople #worldenvironmentday #世界環境デー #アップサイクル #upcycling
