Hey there, food enthusiasts and adventure seekers! Aggy here, and I have some super exciting news to share with you all. In just a few days, I’ll be jetting off to Japan for a two-week culinary and gaming adventure! 🇯🇵✈️
Why Japan?
Japan has always been at the top of my travel bucket list, and it’s not just because of the breathtaking cherry blossoms or the bustling streets of Tokyo. As a foodie, a passionate home cook, and an avid gamer, Japan is a treasure trove of culinary delights and retro gaming treasures that I’ve been dying to explore. From the freshest sushi to the rarest retro games, Japan is a paradise for all my interests.
What I’m Looking Forward To
During my two weeks in Japan, I’ll be indulging in all kinds of delicious foods, discovering new flavors, and diving into the vibrant gaming culture. Here are a few things I’m particularly excited about:
Culinary Adventures
Ramen Noodles: I’ve always been fascinated by the art of making ramen, and I’m hoping to take a cooking class to learn how to make authentic ramen noodles from scratch. Imagine the rich, umami-packed broth and perfectly cooked noodles—yum!
Sushi: Fresh, melt-in-your-mouth sushi is a must-try in Japan. I’m planning to visit the famous Tsukiji Fish Market in Tokyo to sample some of the freshest seafood around.
Street Food: From takoyaki (octopus balls) to yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), Japanese street food is legendary. I’m excited to explore the food stalls and try as many street eats as possible.
Sweets and Snacks: Japanese desserts and snacks are known for their unique flavors and presentation. I’ll be hunting down mochi, matcha treats, and all sorts of interesting confections.
Gaming Adventures
Retro Games and Consoles: As an avid video game player and collector of retro games and consoles, I’m thrilled to explore the gaming scene in Japan. Akihabara, here I come! I’m on the lookout for rare finds to add to my collection.
Arcades: Japan is famous for its arcades, and I’m eager to spend some time in these gaming havens, experiencing everything from classic arcade games to the latest in gaming technology.
Gaming Culture: I’m excited to immerse myself in Japan’s gaming culture, meet fellow gamers, and maybe even participate in some local gaming events. Who knows, I might even pick up a few new gaming tips and tricks!

Don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging while I’m away! Although I’ll be busy eating my way through Japan and scouring the streets for retro gaming treasures, I’ll be taking lots of notes (and photos) to share with you when I get back. Here’s what you can expect from The Loco Project when I return:
New Recipes: I’ll be recreating some of the amazing dishes I try in Japan and sharing the recipes with you. Get ready for authentic ramen, sushi rolls, and maybe even some Japanese street food classics!
