    We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our UA-cam videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
    We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just honest food that tastes incredible.
    From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best food we find on our travels.

    Mouth watering yet again.
    Momo taro is actually a very famous Japanese fable alittle too long to explain but is knowen by every Japanese.
    I love onigiri..It's not common here in Perth but when I find an outlet...Yum
    The seaweed used on the onigiri is top quality something not usually seen outside of Japan due to it's expence.
    There is no comparason with high quality seaweed.
    Loving the Japan vlogs
    Hope you both enjoying your new home?

    Unfortunately, eating out in Japan is not what it used to be. Quality has gone down but prices have just kept on going up. And Asakusa, particularly Hoppi Dori (ホッピー通り), has turned into a tourist trap.
