Fangwenya:“I had planned to go to Tohoku to see the frost trees in Zao a year ago. I had seen some spectacular photos online and was looking forward to it before the trip. Unfortunately, we didn’t take the Zao Cable Car, but only the Central Cable Car. We still saw the frost trees but they were not as spectacular. We were lucky that the weather was good that day and there weren’t too many people around, so we could take as many photos as we wanted!”

BearWu:“Zao Hot Spring in Yamagata Prefecture, northeastern Japan, is famous for its icy trees in winter. January to March every year is the peak season for tree ice. Take the cable car up the mountain from Zaosanroku Station on the flat ground, change trains at Juhyo Plateau Station, and finally arrive at Jizo Summit Station. As soon as you exit the station, you can see a large piece of Juhyo heading towards you!”

去吹 海风:“1. Tako (Shinjuku branch) - Address: 3-20-1 Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo - Recommended dishes: tofu, beef tendon, cabbage rolls, snail meat, octopus sashimi - Description: This is an authentic oden restaurant, and most of the customers are Japanese. Tofu, beef tendon, cabbage rolls and snail meat are recommended as a la carte ingredients. The soup is sweet and not salty, and it is delicious when tasted alone. In addition, their octopus sashimi is also very fresh and delicious, only HKD 40 per plate, and it is even better with sake. - Value for money: 4/5 - Return rate: 5/5 2. Abe Tempura (Ginza branch) Michelin - Address: 4-3-7 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo - Recommended dish: Tempura Imperial Set Meal - Description: This is the most delicious tempura restaurant I have ever eaten! The fried noodles are thin, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The tempura is mainly fresh shrimp, and it is very delicious without dipping sauce. The only regret is that the store is very small, with only 16 seats, and the flow of people is also very chaotic. It takes an hour to wait when you arrive at 1 pm. It is recommended to make an appointment in advance. - Value for money: 4/5 - Return rate: 3/5 3. Aizawa - Address: 27, Tokatata Onsen Nakamachi, Omachi, Katata-gun, Miyagi Prefecture - Recommended dishes: set meal, potato salad, sashimi, thick-cut deep-fried pork chop - Description: This time I also stayed at Zao Onsen Hotel for two days. There is a small shop run by a fishmonger nearby. It is a traditional Japanese-style building with a quiet environment and tatami seats. The set meal is very rich, and the side dishes include potato salad and sashimi, which are fresh and not snowy, and very satisfying. In addition, the thick-cut deep-fried pork chop is crispy on the outside, not much fried flour, and the pork chop is very thick, thicker than the two in Hong Kong! 4. Arufi Harahuku - Address: Tokyo Shibuya City Sendagaya 3 Chome-63-1 Grain De Furresta Harajuku - Description: This shop offers a zero-MSG chicken soup base, and the barbecued pork is roasted on site. With sour and sweet yuzu juice, it is different from the traditional pork bone soup ramen, and it feels refreshing and appetizing. If you like strong flavors, you can also try their soy sauce flavor, which is rich in chicken fat and has an attractive aroma. Only electronic payments are accepted. It is very popular, and there was already a long line at 5:30pm, but the line moves quickly and the waiting time is about 30 minutes. - Recommended menu: Yuzu salt ramen 1264 Yen, Yuzu soy sauce ramen 1073 Yen - Value for money: 4.5/5 - Return rate: 4/5 5. Uchitateya (うちたて家) - Address: Ikebukuro > 3-13-17 Minami-ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo - Description: This shop has a lot of recommended udon noodles! My boyfriend and I have different opinions on it. The noodles are hand-cut and have different shapes, which are chewier than Sanuki Udon. The soup base is prepared with duck fat, but the taste is not much different from ordinary soy sauce. The disadvantage is that the noodles get cold easily, and the soup is not hot enough, which causes the noodles to get cold quickly. Recommended for friends who like chewy taste. You may have to wait for about an hour if you arrive at the store around 8 pm. - Recommended menu: Duck sauce udon tsukemen, large portion, 1290 Yen - Value for money: 4.2/5 - Return rate: 3.85/5 6. Komeda coffee (Shinjuku branch) - Address: 1-16-3 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo - Description: This coffee shop originated in Nagoya and features forest-style decoration. It provides one-person seating. Be sure to try their signature dessert Shrio Noir! 64-layer Danish pastry with ice cream, rich butter aroma and ice and fire duet, and the unimaginable combination of Wasabi and ketchup, making the egg salad more rich and multi-layered. Don't forget to go in for a cup of tea when you are tired of shopping~ - Recommended menu: Mini ice and fire 520 Yen, egg salad burger 490 Yen, Komeda coffee 580 Yen - Value for money: 4.5/5 - Return rate: 4/5”
