Onsen SF: R&R in the Tenderloin

November 6, 2016 No Comments

This weekend, I had the chance to visit Onsen, which will soon be opening to the public on 11/11.

It is a holistic spa/tea room/restaurant/treatment room all rolled into one.

A hidden gem in the TL

This hallway contains 6 treatment rooms for massage/acupuncture.

It leads into the communal bath area.

Check out their gallery for more photos.

In the front of the space, there is a restaurant with tea service.

Fresh plant-driven menu that is heavily Asian-inspired.

Pickled vegetables, kakuni lamb, halibut sashimi, jook.

Finish the meal off with some tea. They also have cocktails and lemon kombucha.

Halloween 2016 in Shibuya

November 3, 2016 No Comments

Hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend.

Here’s a quick photo diary of my Halloween in Tokyo!

I was surprised that Halloween was really big in Japan. The roads were closed off so people can wander the streets of Shibuya and have a fun & safe time. I saw a lot of great costumes. Here are just a few.

And of course, food post to follow.
