A must-try onigiri spot in Kyoto! 🍙✨

Do you like onigiri? I used to think of it as just a simple snack or something quick to eat since I always made basic wakame onigiri at home.

But after trying the onigiri here, I realized that what I’d been eating all my life barely counted as onigiri. 😂 Seriously, it was that good.

This place is one of the most popular onigiri shops around Kawaramachi, one of Kyoto’s most famous areas. If you’re exploring Kyoto, definitely stop by and give it a try.

And if you’re putting together a little picnic or bento for the day, grab a few onigiri from here and take them with you. 🍙🌿

Trust me they’re so good! 😋✨

My favorite menu at Komeda’s Coffee! ☕️✨

Have you ever tried the Miso Katsu Sandwich? It honestly feels like getting three giant burgers at once and it’s so good.

You know Japanese miso, right? They coat a crispy pork cutlet with rich miso sauce and serve it as a sandwich. The first time I tried it, I completely fell in love with it. 😂

When I was really into it, I think I ate it almost once a week. There are plenty of Komeda’s Coffee locations in Kyoto too. Since it’s such a student city, you’ll usually find one near a university campus. 😂

Highly recommend giving it a try if you’re in Japan! 🇯🇵✨

What’s your favorite menu item at Komeda’s Coffee? 👀☕️

Last month, on my way home from school, I found a tap card (specifically a PASMO card) lying on the road. It was inside a lanyard card holder, and the owner’s name was clearly written on the card. It looked like a card that was used daily, so the owner must have accidentally dropped it and been looking for it everywhere.

In the past, I’ve lost several valuable items in Japan, and every time, someone returned them to the police. Thanks to that, I was always able to get my belongings back. 𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗽 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱, 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘄𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁.

This was my first time returning a lost item to the police, and 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲. Here are a few things I’d like to share.

✨ What kind of general information did the police ask for? ✨

1. The location where I found the item
2. The approximate time when I found it
3. My name, full address, and phone number (I had to fill out a form)

🤔📣𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 (𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴)? 🤔📣

Of course for all five questions, you are completely free to say no.

Although Japanese law allows you to say yes, I’ve heard that most Japanese people decline these options because of the culture of 遠慮 (enryo), which emphasizes modesty and restraint.

Returning a lost item was a really interesting experience for me as a foreigner living in Japan. Do you have such experience? Let me know in the comment!
