If you nodded to all of these, then probably I am your (wo)man! :)
I´m Gizem, German with Turkish roots, married to a Japanese and have been living in Tokyo for 6 years. I am a passionate eater a

nd love traveling, languages and people! I am enthusiastic about food and love to take challenges anywhere I go. I believe that food plays a big part in every culture and it is clearly more than a necessity! Anthony Bourdain is my spirit animal. Other things I am passionate about are Rock music (especially) Metal, concerts, gaming and mingling with locals. I would love to share my insider knowledge of Tokyo and life in Japan during a Foodie Tour with you. Let's walk the rather unknown backstreets of Tokyo, eat where locals eat and drink what locals drink! Worrying about language problems? I got you covered. You walk with me, relax, eat, drink and soak in the vivid and flamboyant atmosphere and just let me guide you. Like a friend
Sounds like fun? I’d love to hear from you and will be happy to send you details...just say the word :)

O H A Y Ō!
Sending love from Aoshima, Miyazaki 💗

It is tropical with late-fall temperatures and the skies are wide and colorful! This photo was minimally edited to make my sticky skirt look a little less grabby around my private areas 😂

Detailed posts on my travels to come so you, too, can visit these breathtaking spots! 🥲💗🌴

Anybody here been to Aoshima??

🔜 Next stop: Totoro! (Not Tottori!!🥲)

One of the coolest shrines I've ever been to!

You know those places that look amazing on Instagram and then you go and can't but help feel disappointed?

Nanba Yasaka Shrine in Osaka is NOT like that! T
Yes, the shrine itself is not that large, and especially the Sakura season gives it all a different flavor, but just in itself I was totally surprised at the lion head's size (bigger than expected!) 😂

I previously wrote another post with details on this place so please scroll down if you want to read a little background story & additional tips 🦁

You can save this post for your future Japan trip album ☺️⛩️

Japan has a new Prime Minister!

Sadly Taro Kono lost to Fumio Kishida.

I made a detailed Insta story on that, so go check it out :-)

Kono who stems from a family of politicians has an international and humanitarian background & even lists Durian as his favorite food (meaning he is actually a superior life form 👀)

In a country where most politicians are male, over 50, traditionalistic and often carry largely misogynistic views, Kono represents a real chance for a more modern, world-open and forward -thinking Japan.

I love this country to bits but the voting majority are old men over 50 who are still in love with the idea of a superior & traditionalistic Japan, where change is found utterly uncomfortable.

I'm disappointed that obviously Japan is still not ready to embrace a new way of being.

As a foreigner who has laid roots here and will also be here for a future in Japan, I wonder if I will see the day where the Japanese government will reflect what we, the younger generations & internationally-minded already know:

That Japan needs to catch up with the world in social matters 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

We need and want a more open-minded Japan, because we love Japan 🗾 💜

Foreigners have no voting right here but we can support Kono and other forward-thinking politicians by following their Twitter accounts & amplifying their voices 🙂

To a better Japan, someday 🥂

Any thoughts on this? Feel free to drop them below 🥰

- Vitamin Sea -
Spent the day with one of my favorite people in one if my favorite places.

The sea heals my soul with every breath and every wave and Kamakura magic just pours the sprinkles on top.

💊

Stressed and need a getaway? Go to Shōnan.

Existential crisis? How about a prescription of Shōnan?

Need some magic in your creative department? Have you tried Shōnan yet?

💊

These are some of today's snaps. Obviously we ate a ton, and more details on that following when I've organized them neatly!

Hope you can smell the Shōnan breeze through these. Hey, that rhymes!

Are you in need of some Vitamin Sea right now?

- Ginza -
I spent the afternoon in Ginza today on a quest to get my hands on the newly released Iphone 13 Pro Max Super Sayajin, to finally loose the handicap of creating with a limited and more often than not, frustratingly glitchy Android Instagram UI 🤪

This mission failed as those who watched my story will know, what didn't fail however is my omnipresent admiration for Tokyo's little treasures, one just needs to look.

Before my live stream, I was snapping away for about half an hour, blissfully soaking in the glass reflections, never ending lines of taxis and in general just doing my fav past time: people watching! 😅

Here are the results! Hope you enjoy this little bit of Ginza on your phone 💗

-AKIBA-

Literally a parallel universe within Tokyo. Everything's noisy, the crowd is a mix of geeky and classy-clad penguin salary men. There are PC parts, gadgets and the newest in computer technology and there are s*x toys and Gachapon on the same street. In the next street are cutesie maids, dressed up in all sorts of cool cosplay, beckoning you into a kawaii little world of its own. There are dirty corners littered with trash, mice and cockroaches, houses literally falling apart and then there are those signature-Tokyo squeaky clean glass and steel buildings, reflecting the neon lights of this crazy little part of Tokyo.

I could never put into words how I felt about Akihabara, but I guess I really appreciate it for its boldness to be freaky in a largely uniform society.

What do you think of when thinking of Akihabara?

I did it!

Today I got my first Moderna shot.

This wouldn't be any big news if... it weren't for my NEEDLE PHOBIA 💀💀💀

A recent Oxford University survey of more than 15,000 adults in the UK suggests needle phobia accounts for about 10% of Covid vaccine hesitancy (BBC News)

And I totally understand it.

I'm one in ten people, statistically, that froze the moment they realized that our worst fear, a needle, will be our only way out of the grip of COVID-19.

If you think about it, it's actually quite the cruel joke 😅💀😵😭

Why am I sharing this very personal story with you?
Because
A) I really want to reach those that are just as frightened of needles as I am, caught in the "Covid vs phobia" dilemma and
B) simply to raise awareness that people like me exist

As for the shot, I made an insta story about my day today, feel free to check it out.

Briefly summed up:
I woke up and had my first panic attack in bed this morning, learned a breathing technique called "box breathing" on YouTube (breathe in, hold, breathe out, hold, repeat ♻️) to keep my anxiety at bay even if just a little (it worked a bit!) and when it was time to enter the vaxx booth I broke out in a cascading waterfall, incomprehensibly sobbing words of "yes, I'm ok to get my shot" (even though I didn't look like it lol) and then DID NOT even FEEL the shot ONE BIT.

*Almost* to my disappointment 😂

Honestly though, doc served the shot so well, she was done while I was still mentally preparing 🙈

So If you, too, are hellishly scared of needles, I feel you. I completely understand. It really is your decision to get the shot(s) or not. I can 100% understand just HOW MUCH of a daunting prospect it is to get through this, not only once but in most cases twice.

I'll sadly have to go back for a second shot & I will report again (😭) Probably lots of tears & anxiety again but at least now I know I will be surprised at how fast it goes and how little I will feel!

🥲 Our medical staff are real heroes 🙏🏻💗 (pay them more!!)

Thanks for reading! 🥺💕

❉ Higanbana ❉

A while ago I have established a weekly ritual of buying myself flowers, to
a) remind myself of the little pleasures of life and
b) appreciate the seasonal changes (especially the seasons I normally dread, aka Winter 😅)

Yesterday i bought a branch of higanbana to go with my yellow lilly & added a branch of Eukalyptus tinto the mix, which I dry in my office (the fragrance of Eukalyptus is SO refreshing & crisp, it gives me a nice start to the day)! 🥰

Did you know that "O-higan" is what the Japanese call the day of the autumn equinox? It's a national holiday here and it generally marks that from September 23rd the dark of night will become longer than the day-light period.

In fact, "higan" translates to the "other shore" - basically "the land of the dead" 😅 "Higanbana" translates as the "flower of autumn equinox".
Therefore o-higan is the day to visit the family graves and pray for the well-being of the departed souls.

The higanbana (spider lily) pops up at exactly this time of year and their gorgeous bright crimson color will surely mesmerize you! ♥️

What is a ritual or habit you have adopted this year? ☺️

SEARRY? TONSO?
Nissin, is that you?? 😂

No, these are NOT knock-offs of our beloved Cup Noodles, they are a SUPER FUSIONS!!

Nissin released a super fusion series of it's most popular Cup Noodle flavors fused together and this is what it looks like 👁️👁️ 🍜

There are 4 flavors in total:

🍥 Siupoodle, made from "Shio" (salt and black pepper flavor) and the OG missing Cup Noodle

🍥 Searry, made from Seafood flavor and Curry flavor

🍥 Tonso, a fusion of tonkotsu (pork bone broth) and miso

🍥 and lastly, Cheechili Curmato (🤣 wtf) a hybrid of Chili Tomato Cup Noodle and my fav Cheese Curry Cup Noodle!! 😋🧀

I got the two in the first picture:
Tonso & Cheechili Curmato (🙈) and will try them on my next Wednesday live stream! (8PM JST & Japan Food documentaries!)

Which one would you pick?
..🍜...

Can you smell a that sweet fragrance in the air?

Every year anew I get surprised by a sudden delicious floral smell in the air! Some Japan expats may even have referred to it as "a smell of toilet deodorizer in the air" 😂

The smell will stop you in your tracks to ponder where it's coming from! It is a flower called Kinmokusei ♡ (Sweet Osmanthus) and a clear sign that Fall is just around the corner! 🎃🍁🍂

Have you smelled it yet? They just started blooming so keep your noses open everyone! 👃🏻💕

Who's excited for Fall? 🌝🍁🍂🎃

This photo feels like a different life right now 😅🥲

Throwback to a time when I used to be a tour guide, taking a bunch of Germans to Nara & taking selfies with Dana, the deer in my 30 minute lunch break instead of eating 🦌💕

What's the cutest animal you've taken a selfie with? 🐨🦌🐇🐍🐒🐴
(Why not join the fun & post a picture of your animal selfie? 😁

AAH!!!

I see new Foodies! 👀

WELCOME to all the new Foodies here! 💙🙋🏻‍♀️

I'm Gizem, Tokyoite, Turkish-German, Japan-Nerd, Ramen-slurper, Yuzu-hugger, Konbini-worshipper, Gamer (Halo 😻), Live-streamer and in general just someone who really appreciates good humor & good food 😸🍜

(I never know what to write in these self intros, so, how was that for an intro? Did I do alright? 🙆🏻‍♀️)

After Corona put my lil Food Tour Business on ice, I've been on a journey of self-improvement and finding fulfilling activities to make my life more meaningful, society a lil better and travel of the future a bit more sustainable 😏🌿

I personally think, good music & good food are the base of this mission, so if you like both, then I'd love for you to stick around on my lil journey across life in Japan 🗾✨ (going 7 years already 😱)

🦁 Oh, and in case you were wondering, that monster behind me is just an enormous lion head-shaped shrine 😄

Built in 1975, the impressive lion head crowns a stage and is 12m tall x 11m wide! Much bigger than I expected 😅 I was thoroughly impressed.

It is without a doubt one of Japan's most distinctive places of worship 🙏🏻✨ (nicer pictures will follow!)

Have you been yet, or will this go on your to-go list?
