I work in IT and have four young children, a wife, and a Boston terrier we have been traveling to Japan since 2014 (minus our dog). We wanted to travel the world but our mistake was visiting Japan as our first destination, as now we want to travel all over Japan to experience each of its area’s secrets. Some of our friends call us crazy as my wife and I travel with all four of our children across Japan and while it is hard physically and in the wallet to bring the whole family for weeks of travel in Japan, we would not trade our family experience for anything else in the world.
I am by no means an expert in Japan or its food, but my appreciation for its culture and cuisine runs deep. My family loves to eat Japanese food and we fell deeper in love with the country after our very first visit. We have found Japan to be one of the cleanest places on earth and one of the friendliest. As a result, we have made annual trips to Japan and made many unforgettable family experiences. This blog is to share our experiences from Japan, and our pursuit to find tastes that remind us of Japan locally in my hometown in the Bay Area, California.

Update post Covid – 3/2023
I can’t believe how time flies and how many life changes have occurred. I now split my time between Seattle and the SF Bay Area due to work. It’s been forever since I updated my blog. I’ll look to find time to start again and update any pages with unfortunate eateries that are now gone.
