Sensory Overload! 😳Buffet at #SuginoiHotel in #Beppu reminds me of Vegas! Different "shops" represent different cuisine - Japanese dining, grill, main kitchen, soup/rice, salad, pizza/pasta/bread. The quality of food is very impressive! 😃 Breakfast comes with your room stay. #jocinjapan

This mega hotel reminds me of circus circus in Vegas. It has huge swimming pools (We were in water for 5 hours!), arcades, karaoke, bowling alley, bars, restaurants, LED light water shows, buffet and more. Tonight we opted for Italian prefix menu. The Uni pasta was my favorite! If you have kids, I highly recommend this place. Kids passed out in a second! 😴 #suginoihotel #beppu #jocinjapan

We picked up #ekiben #駅弁 (bento from station) for our late lunch. 🍱 Love various and good quality bento you can get at the major train stations in Japan. We are on #Kyushu #Shinkansen Sakura 🚄🌸 First stop in Kyushu is #Beppu #Onsen #別府温泉! #jocinjapan

Do you like #oyster? It's probably the only seafood that I do not like since I was very young. I tried at every "best oyster" region...but still can't change my mind about it. Mr JOC loves #oysters and said Hiroshima oysters are juicy and sweet! #Miyajima #jocinjapan

If you love housemade #gelato, don't forget to try Baccano in #Miyajima. We had Hiroshima Lemon 🍋, Hiroshima Strawberry 🍓 , Hojicha 🍵, and Nutella! All so delicious! #jocinjapan

#安納芋 #Annouimo Ice Cream. 🍠🍦 So delicious! What is your favorite flavor of soft cream you tried and liked in Japan? #miyajima #jocinjapan

It's time for #Hiroshima #Okonomiyaki 😋😋😋 This is the restaurant where it's all started in 1950. Do you like #Okonomiyaki #お好み焼き from #Hiroshima or #Osaka? One from Hiroshima has noodles between a crepe and fried egg. I have both recipes on my blog! 😃👌 Here Special Okonomiyaki and Deluxe Okonomiyaki from #みっちゃん総本店. #jocinjapan

Premium meat selection from my local #yakiniku #焼肉 restaurant. I miss the melt in your mouth kalbi, it's simply irresistible! We sure will be back!

Leaving for Kyushu tomorrow but we are eating ramen at Ippodo!

Father's Day Brunch at one of Mr. JOC's favorite local restaurants. Fried Chicken & Waffles, Lobster Egg Benedict, and Duck Confit Frittata were wonderful! Happy Father's Day to all the dads! 🥂

Enjoying #MediterraneanFood because it's hard to find a good place in Japan. 😋

Enjoying foods that we don't typically eat in Japan... Leaving in a week! 😆🎌 #pekingduck

Weekend lunch at Ginji

Last night we met with friends to enjoy German beer, sausages, and Wiener Schnitzel. 🍻🍻

Steamy #xiaolongbao 👌🏼👩🏻

#Kushiyaki #Yakitori dinner with a new JOC team member. She will help me share recipes on Pinterest and hopefully this will inspire more people to make Japanese cuisine! Follow my Pinterest @justonecookbook if you haven't! ❤

Delicious #napoleoncake #millefeuille and coffee! ☕️ This is my second time trying this cake and it's pretty delicious!

Delicious #mediterraneanfood in #burlingame 💛

👨‍👧‍👦eating 🍔🍟 while 👩🏻 eat 🥗. I can't exercise today so I'm eating less-calorie and healthier food. #slowmetabolism 🤷🏻‍♀️

I completely failed with taking a picture of this dish under the dim lighting, but the clay pot rice with grilled salmon & ikura was so good, especially with kobucha dashi. 😋👌
