I found these funny sushi cats. They made me happy in this 1st of August starting here in Tokyo with extremely high temperatures and humidity.

Withdrawing Cash At 7-Eleven

Some years ago withdrawing cash in Japanese ATMs using foreign cards was quite a challenge for people travelling to Japan. Since recently, the easiest way to do it is to use the ATMs available in most 7-Eleven (7-Bank). VISA, Mastercard and American Express are accepted, as well as debit cards.

In this website you can find all 7-Bank ATMs in Japan and in this other a list of all the cards accepted.

Shiitake Yakitori

When people who are traveling for the first time in Japan ask me for food recommendations I always tell them to explore and try anything they find. It is very difficult to find a bad place in Japan, on average, restaurants will prepare you amazing food.

I was with two friends and we just entered the nearest yakitori place. We ordered and the yakitori in general was just ok, but the shiitake that you can see in the picture being prepared by the woman was the best one I have ever tried! The texture and the flavor was just perfect. My friends agreed and we ended up having tons of shiitake for dinner 🙂

Food recommendations in Japan: explore and try many things, even after ten years I’m still discovering new places and dishes!
