Big in Japan

When I think back on the summer trips I’ve taken to Japan, it’s hard to choose a favorite moment.

Maybe my favourite moment was getting to visit the Cup Noodles Museum, an entire museum dedicated to the fascinating history of Nissin Cup Noodles – and getting to take home my very own customized cup! Or, it could have been getting dessert at that one cafe where I devoured a foot-tall sundae, cutely coined the “Tokyo Tower.” Then again, perhaps my favourite experience was not a food-related one after all (shocker!), but instead it was the time I finally got to play Taiko no Tatsujin in its home country.   

Oh well. It’s probably safest to say that when I think back on my beloved summer trips to Japan, my favorite part was every single second of it.
