Visiting Japan: a twelve-day honeymoon

Japan Travel Guide - Eating Ramen in Tokyo
Konnichiwa!

I have left this little blog a bit lonely for the past two months, showing the same image of a delicious yet now old blackberry and almond Chantilly roulade.
In the meantime, a lot happened. Lots of it involved work, but also a really amazing trip to Japan last October.
This trip nearly happened in July as it was our honeymoon but after a bit of pondering and realising that visiting a country when it is at his hottest weather  would not be wise (think huge heat wave and typhoons), we chose to go there in October. And actually, it was a really good decision! The weather was great, nice and warm but not so hot that it would have made it unbearable to walk around (we had a lot of walking planned in the mountains and cities). Plus, we got to see the first notes of some amazing Autumn colours all over the country.
There is a lot to say about Japan!
One blog post would not be enough to go through the many highlights of this beautiful trip to Japan. Over the next few weeks, I will add more highlights about Tokyo, the part of the country side we visited (mostly in the Nagano prefecture, in the Japanese Alps), Kyoto and Nara. And there will obviously be stories of the amazing food I discovered over there (delicious, stunning, intricate, fascinating, weird, baffling are some of the many words that could describe the culinary side of Japan). I will also share some recipes I created for a Japanese Fall Feast I worked on with my lovely friend Rebekah of Honeysuckle Life.
So, before I tell you more about Japan, here are some photography highlights!

Sayonara!
