I can never resist a good canele and the ones at @caneledujapon are basically perfect. They are small but pack so much flavour with the perfect crust. 

On the pricier side at 2140 yen for the 12 piece set (these are really tiny) but definitely worth the splurge.

as a certified non breakfast eater these 23 days r as a certified non breakfast eater these 23 days really tested my stomach capacity. some buffets were worth it and some definitely would be a skip for me. there were 2 buffet breakfasts that really stood out for me:

🇰🇷 @westin_seoul_parnas has an incredible breakfast buffet at their main floor restaurant, ON:TABLE. It’s priced at 85,000 won per person. There is a huge selection of Korean and Western food options as well as freshly squeezed juices, smoothies, breads and fresh fruits. The service was top notch and friendly. 11/10 you need to try it. 

🇯🇵 @osakastation_hotel has been on my bucket list and their breakfast buffet did not disappoint. It is offered on the 29th floor so the views of Osaka are beyond spectacular. there is unlimited freshly made sushi, house made pastries, hokkaido milk ice cream and musk melons 🍈 the buffet is priced at 9000 yen per person. 10/10

the newest diy hand roll experience @hellonori is so easy and so much fun. the filling is beautifully presented and all you have to do is place it on a fresh crispy sheet of nori and roll! so good, so fresh and best of all a fun little twist on a familiar dish.
