Kumachan Onsen Shabu Restaurant - Tokyo, Japan
I saw this Shabu restaurant on one of the Japan bloggers Instagram and I knew we had to make a trip here. Total Kawaii cuteness overload. This shabu (think hot pot) restaurant does individual pots and the broth to start your meal is in the shape of a bear (kuma-chan) as if he was in an onsen (japanese hot springs). You order your set of veggies, meat and then flavour of your bear for your broth. They showed us how to turn on the elements built into the table but said to take as many photos before hand as kumachan would melt pretty fast.
For years I've had the terrace restaurant on my bucket list. The beautiful views and out of this world food and service I couldn't wait to see. The world renowned Mission hill winery right along the Okanagan lake is like stepping into a Italian winery. The terrace restaurant is built on two wings with an outdoor amphitheatre between, all overlooking the lake and the vines. Since Justin booked it, I wasn't really sure of the cost, until we sat down and the preplanned out 5 course meal boasted a price of over 150 per person. Needless to say we didn't do anything else for our anniversary a couple weeks later. Lol Have to say I would Definity go back and do a tour and tasting in the future.
