Happy 2026! Sorry to all of you that it’s been a long time since the previous post. This time, I would like to share the Japanese black tea I found in Nagano, Japan. Kurohime Wakankayu was founded in 1947, but the product I would like to recommend today was developed in 2019, which is the…
Hook Coffee (Singapore)
There’s nothing better than sipping coffee to start a new day, right? For people like me, who do not own a coffee machine, I prefer using drip coffee bags. They taste much better than instant coffee. I have tried many brands in Japan, and I have now spotted a brand – Hook Coffee- from Singapore….
Kanda Myoujin Mori no Coffee (Ginza Cafe Paulista – Japan)
Coffee drinking is a routine job for many of us while a cup of good coffee is a good start to the day! Despite people who pursue quality prefer hand-brewed coffee, drip bag coffee is also not a bad choice! Mori no Coffee produced by Cafe Paulista uses pesticide-free and chemical fertilizers-free coffee beans…

Himenoen (Japan)
Himenoen is a historic tea manufacturer in Oita with over 100 years of experience since 1907 (Meiji 40). I am glad I did not miss the chance to try their products when travelling to Kyushu last time. It is gorgeous to know Japan is not only famous for green tea only, but also Japanese-style black…

Nara Yamato Cola (Japan)
Since the first cola was invented in 1886, cola has become one of the most popular drinks globally. While the recipe is a top secret for Coca-Cola, craft cola is derived from this trend. Among all the craft cola launched, Yamato Cola from Nara is unique and worth a try! Nara Yamato Cola took 8…
MT WAVES (Hong Kong)
When we talk about milk tea, the first impression might be Taiwanese milk tea. But have any of you drank HK-style milk tea in the past? There is a standard for HK-style milk tea no matter how times go on. Unlike coffee and tea, the best HK-style milk tea is always served in “Cha chaan…
Kanefuku (Japan)
Mentaiko – a common ingredient in Japan which is orange in colour with a spicy and salty taste. For easier understanding, it is the roe of cod. There are many brands of mentaiko in Japan, but I would like to introduce Kanefuku specifically. Established in 1971, Kanefuku has been passionate about mentaiko production since then….
DEVIL’S TEA (Alcohol) (Hong Kong)
