I Ate ONLY Japanese Food in AMERICA for 24 Hours (NYC EDITION)

In this day/week in my life as a Filipino-Japanese LGBTQ+/gay boy living in Tokyo, Japan... my boyfriend @merwel I spent an entire day in New York City eating only Japanese food 🇯🇵🍱— from breakfast to dessert to dinner. We started the morning with an authentic Japanese breakfast set at Okonomi in Brooklyn, one of the most traditional spots in NYC that felt straight out of Japan. Then we headed to Kijitori for some incredible matcha and chill café vibes before grabbing a quick onigiri from a random Japanese grocery store we found on the way (it actually surprised me how good it was).

For lunch, we took the train all the way to Flushing to try Kura Sushi — a conveyor-belt sushi spot that’s gone viral for their plates, gachapon prizes, and self-serve matcha bar. I haven’t had that much fun eating sushi in a long time 💀 Then for dessert, we went to Taiyaki NYC, the famous fish-shaped ice cream shop that’s been all over TikTok. And finally, we ended the night at Ootoya Chelsea for a proper Japanese dinner — miso soup, grilled fish, karaage, the full thing yaaazzz

Honestly, I didn’t expect NYC’s Japanese food scene to be this good. Some places made me forget I wasn’t in Tokyo lol. Would you try a full Japanese food day in your city?
