Hi Nami! I’m so honored you approve of my Kasutera! I was worried it will not measure up to everyone’s expectations, but I’ve made it a few times since this post and everyone loves it. Yes, Tokyo was terrific. We vowed to go back. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could time a trip at the same time next time. Thanks for your kind comments!

Thanks, Laura! You should go. Everyone said Tokyo was expensive. But friends told me ‘if you go to NYC often,then you can afford Tokyo.” So we planned it as a side trip to Manila. Go off-season or catch air fares on sale. Cathay Pacific offers good deals from the mid west. Good luck & thanks for the faithful blog-visit 🙂

Alas. Looks like you had a blast! And the cake sounds delicious!

Thanks, Catherine! Tokyo is magnificent! I highly recommend it. We should have done it sooner. All these years, we’ve just “flown past Tokyo” during layovers to Manila. Next time, we’ll stay longer & explore more. The food, sights, people were beautiful! Glad you came by 🙂

I’ve always wanted to visit Tokyo… and now even more so. Love the street scene and food photos! Castella seems so yummy – with such few basic ingredients. Thank you for sharing!
