We arrived in our home in Tokyo and we were hungry so we asked Kevin to send up their latest high tea at the lobby. It was sold out but they made a fresh batch for us!!! We had one of the best high teas we have tried. This time it is Mikimoto @official_mikimoto and Mikimoto has been one of our oldest brands in the store @rustansph since my grandmother brought it in. This high tea not only looks pretty but everything was AMAZING! My favorite was the white chocolate with raspberry and had the Mikimoto logo on top of it. Wow!! Everything was unique as if it was handcrafted for @thepeninsulatokyo and Mikimoto #h2htokyo #h2hhightea#h2hdesserts #peninsulatokyo

And since Dad had a sore throat, Kevin the Accomodations Manager, sent this up for him!  WOW!

Happy to see JJ and Minette and Toyko.  So of course dinner with them 🙂

Master Chef Isao Kanemasa of Miyagawa Tempura in Aoyama. He has been doing this for 50 years! Swipe left to read more about the resto. Love the salts – Himalayan, French, Green tea powder, etc with lemon, My favorite tempura was the Fish bone, starch kind veggie, Scallops, Anago & kakiage. Very satisfied for 7,000 yen per person compared to other tempura places where you pay so much and you are still hungry, 🙂 Located across the Nezu Museum. The restaurant name is in Japanese and its on the side hidden in Aoyama Palace building #isaokanemasa #h2hchefs #h2htempura#h2htokyo

We discovered this shabu shabu place in Omotesando – Yamawarau  It is counter style though we saw 2 small private rooms. But the fun is sitting in the counter. You can also have sukiyaki (3kinds) You can choose from the lowest at 1,500 yen ( pork & beef) to 8,800 yen ( Matsuzaka & Kobe) There is a condiment/appetizer bar which you can just get all you want. Loved our chef – Yoichiro Hakozaki #yamawaraushabushabu #yamawarau#h2htokyo #h2hsteaks In the middle of the counter is a chef an all he is doing is slicing the meats and he is non stop doing this 🙂 Our funny chef who we love 🙂 All you can eat appetisers 

Breakfast included in the room at @thepeninsulatokyo Plenty options 🙂 #peninsulatokyo #h2htokyo#h2hbreakfast
