Walking in Kantaro-san's Steps: Kanmidokoro Hatsune - Tokyo, Japan
A couple years ago I stumbled across this show on Netflix while I was browsing the categories. I clicked on Kantaro: The Sweet Tooth Salaryman on Netflix. It looked like the right amount of weirdness and complete "what the hell is going on." kind of show I needed that day. Boy, was I was right. It’s basically a sitcom crossed with a food/travel show, all filtered through a lens of grade-A Japanese weirdness. You need to add it to your show list if that sounds up your alley.
In the first episode Kantaro goes to Hatsune and gets a delicious and out of this world treat, which looks like the commendation of everything Japanese. I immediately added it to my bucket list.
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.
