ミカエラ・ブレスウェートが行ったことがあるグルメインスタ

Good morning to absolutely everyone - especially the guy behind us in line at Yusentei Park who felt the need to very loudly comment on how there were "lots of gaijin today" upon seeing us. 👀

I had to laugh, it's definitely not the first time I've dealt with someone talking about me as if I'm not standing right in front of them. Japanese people, especially when they're older, tend to vocalize their thoughts out loud a lot, and some people really just have no filter.

The weather was nice yesterday so I'm glad we took a walk and enjoyed the autumn leaves - even though they're past their peak now, it's nice just having an excuse to spend time outside 😂🍂🍁

Another day, another date with Mai ♥️✨

We decided to check out a place on my radar called Rojiura No Shiki in Kego (in between Tenjin and Yakuin!)

A "Rojiura" (路地裏) is a back street or alleyway, and it's usually used in shop names when a shop is tucked away and hidden.

Shiki (四季) refers to the four seasons, and this restaurant is all about producing imaginative dishes with fresh produce available in each season.

Some people are happy for their meals to be quick, easy, and cheap, but eating is my favorite part of the day and if I'm going to be eating with friends, I want the experience to be an adventure.

If what they say is true and "you are what you eat", I hope I become as creative, colorful and exciting as the dishes I had today. 🤭🤭🤭

Do you like to try new things? Or do you prefer your meals to be quick and easy?

Earlier this year we were talking about taking another trip to Korea or Malaysia together, but as the pandemic took over the world, we had to postpone our trip.

Mai is one my oldest friends in Fukuoka! I've known her for almost ten years. We both identify as being in the "ambiguous" middle-ground of being not-quite foreign but not quite Japanese either. We had a much-needed talk about our identity and hearing that she felt the same way gave me permission to see myself as a "mixed culture" person as well.

Having spent half my life in Japan I've been constantly told I'll never be Japanese, and I can't exactly call myself half since I don't have the blood for it, and I'm not a 帰国子女 since this isn't my country, but there is a middle ground where I feel comfortable and I think it's among the people who share mixed cultural identities, and that is ok to say, I think.

We had the afternoon tea set on the 35th floor of the Hilton Seahawk, overlooking the entire city. Having been closed until just earlier this month, the Hilton has re-opened with a focus on delivering luxury experiences to locals. As the pandemic puts a damper on all travel, you can still be a tourist in your own city.

The Clouds Dining Bar and Restaurant has mandatory temperature checks upon entry, masks are worn by all the staff, everyone wears sterile gloves, and the seats are spaced so far apart, it's the perfect place for a date with someone special.

Thank you Mai, for being my someone special. ♥️♥️♥️

ヒルトンの35階にいてアフターヌーンティーを頂きました。最近はレストランの営業を再開して、コロナ対策をバッチリしています。広い空間でお茶と甘い夏果物のスイーツを頂きながら、久しぶりに会ったマイちゃんと長くてアイデンティティーについて深く語って、自分がハーフでもないし、帰国子女とも言えないけど、やはりそういう2つの文化が交えた人間として、自分がミックスだと考えてもいいかなと、納得できました。

35階から見た福岡の景色も良くて、大好きな友達とゆっくりガールズデートできてよかったです。

Rented a car and took another drive in the mountains. Even though the restrictions for going out have been lifted for a while, I feel like the world is so chaotic and noisy (and constantly changing) that I get burnt out before I ever really leave the house. My ideal day is just getting away from people. Thankful I live somewhere where I can do that easily. Don't wanna take it for granted.

Have you heard of Nagatare Beach? This large stretch of sand and blue can be reached by subway in just 20 minutes from Tenjin (less than a ten-minute walk from Imajuku Station!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the end of the beach is California B.B.Q. ( californiab.b.qbeach ) If you come by train you only need to bring sunscreen and a towel, and maybe a few soft drinks — the 3,800 yen covers the grill rental, table fee, the coals, tongs, plates, cleanup, and 550 grams of chicken, beef, pork, seafood *per person*! It’s definitely enough food, even for the heavy eater.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alternatively, you can bring your own meats, veggies, plates, and drinks and rent the barbecue grill and table space for a cheaper price, but you might want to come by car instead if opting for this plan. (Note: On weekdays, it’s bring-your-own meat. The 3,800en course is currently only available on weekends.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Until the end of June, they have a "corona" campaign where each guest over the legal drinking age gets a free bottle of corona beer to enjoy with their barbecue.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was a nice and easy way to plan a beach day without renting a car and driving all the way out to Itoshima (I’m always the driver so I can’t drink if we drive), and the water was so gorgeous! I'm hoping I can plan a little beach day with my friends here sometime soon.

暖かくなってくると、外に出ようという気持ちが強くなってきますよね🌞

今宿駅から徒歩10分、天神から地下鉄でわずか20分で行ける「長垂海浜公園」

そのビーチの突き当たりにあるのが、バーベキュー施設「カリフォルニアBBQ BEACH」californiab.b.qbeach です。グリルレンタル、テーブル代、炭、トング、皿、チキン、ビーフ、ポーク、シーフード、焼きおにぎり、野菜などが一人3,800円です！（例えば電車でお越しの方は日焼け止めとタオル、ソフトドリンクだけを持ち込めば良いです！）また、お肉、野菜、飲み物を持参して、バーベキューグリルとテーブルスペースだけをレンタルすることもできます。また、暑い日にゆっくり過ごしたい人は、扇風機入りのおしゃれなエアストリームを借りることができます。🍘🍙🔥
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6月末までは、20歳以上のお客様にコロナビールを1本無料でプレゼントするキャンペーンを行っています! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
レンタカーを借りずに、わざわざ糸島まで車で行かなくても、簡単に海の日の計画を立てることができて嬉しかったです。しかも、いつも車を運転しなきゃいけない自分が久しぶりに海でコロナビールを飲むことができました。近いうちにまた友達と一緒に行こうと思っています。もちろん、電車で。笑

Throwback to simpler times.

I wonder how long we will have to wait before we can meet up with friends at cute cafes again. I think that's what I'm missing the most. Oceanside cafes, hidden cafes, touristy cafes, busy city cafes, even overpriced and overrated cafes, I miss them all.

It will feel so good to meet with friends and eat snacks together when we reach the other side of this thing.

A month back when Sharla (heyitssharla) came to visit, I took her to my favorite cafe in Itoshima (technically Nishi-ku, but practically Itoshima.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Since I go here a lot and post about it so often, Sharla already knew exactly where I was taking her. We had a cute lunch in a white cottage by the sea. ♥️✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After lunch, the shop owner treated us to this fabulous berry pancake dish which is a new addition to the menu. (Sharla ate the berries, I was in charge of the cake.)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Catch Sharla's Itoshima video *this evening* on her channel to see the cafe + watch the hole in my sweater shoulder gradually get bigger throughout the day 😂
