Kanagawa Japanese Street Food Food Experiences(2)

Joining Mario’s pairing event was a great experience. Beside amazing quality drinks and food, I’ve learned much about Japan’s culinary culture. Completely loved the white beer combined with seafood, and the famous Kyoto matcha cake was the best dessert ever. Also, it was a great chance to meet new people and hear their interesting stories. Mario certainly knows how to hold a party: he was there when we needed him, but also knew when to withdraw to let us comfortably chat and enjoy the food. Highly recommended to anyone searching for new culinary experiences.

I had a wonderful time on a one-day trip from Tokyo to Odawara. It was a short but memorable experience, filled with Japanese history. The highlight of my visit was exploring Odawara Castle, one of the greatest defensive systems in the Samurai era. The museum offered interactive exhibits on Samurai and Ninja history, providing a fun way to travel back in time. The local food in Odawara was as historic as the castle itself. I particularly enjoyed the Japanese fish cake, which was a delightful culinary experience. I would give it a rating of 11/10 and highly recommend trying it. Another unforgettable experience was the dinner session with Geisha. They showcased incredible musical talents and mastery of various Japanese arts. Despite speaking little Japanese, the session was immensely enjoyable. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe in Odawara, and I did not notice any ""shady"" areas. I highly recommend this trip for solo travelers, couples, and families.
