  • When you think about department stores, you think high-quality clothes, bags, brands, etc. But in Japan, you're also thinking high-quality top-notch food! Today I'm at the Mitsukoshi Department Store in Tokyo, and I'm getting everything [that I can carry ;)] that looks good.

    16:18 : *The chocolate bar inside the baguette is the classical after-school snack in France* since... at least half a century, because I used to have one once back home!
    (Though we put some butter instead of the cream)
    Guess a Japanese person got the inspiration in France... because the baguette is French ;)

    Mitsukoshi is considered one of Japan's best (luxury) department store brands; the other is Takashimaya. Depending on where I am visiting, those are my two favorite "go-to" stores for shopping. The level of service and quality of merchandise cannot be found anywhere else in the world.
    As for the overall excellence and caliber of food in Japan, that is not surprising. Tokyo alone has more Michelin stars than Paris, London, and New York combined - but the most wonderful aspect of that, is the fact that one doesn't have to spend a fortune to experience such high quality.
    I do have to comment that you have one of the best appetites that I've ever seen. I can't believe the amount of food you consume. It's as if eating a "Thanksgiving meal" (when many people overeat) is commonplace for you. I actually feel satiated watching you eat. Thanks for the tips on what to look out for in the Mitsukoshi food floors on my next visit to Tokyo.

      Also there is a lot of controversy as to why Japan gets so many Michelin stars. Michelin is heavily biased for French and Japanese cuisine and definitely overrates Japanese restaurants.
