Watch carefully and you'll see that this Uni is still alive. Murasaki Uni (purple sea urchin) with Kombu Dashi (because Uni eat Kombu). #うに #ウニ #雲丹 #seaurchin #liveseafood

One of the highlights (out of many) of the meal at Sushi Sho Saito. Kegani (hairy crab). They steamed it and took all the meat out for us to enjoy with some rice and Nori. So simple but so good! #毛ガニ #crab #hairycrab #贅沢

Dinner at Sushi Sho Saito. Must be my sixth or seventh time since my parents first brought me here in 2008. Felt surreal to be eating there with our friends from all corners of the globe! The Aji (amberjack) and scallop were my favourites from these photographed here. #sashimi #刺身 #japanesefood #寿司屋

First time I've ever had raw scallop liver and it was amazing! So fresh 😋 from the sea between Hokkaido and Aomori. So happy we got to share this amazing meal with some of our friends. #ホタテのきも #scallop

Been eating a lot of noodles since arriving in Japan 😆 this place had either thin or thick Soba. The thin ones were much better. Had this with mountain yam and Nameko (slimy mushrooms). #蕎麦 #そば #soba #noodles

Tulip season has started. #チューリップ #花 #tulip #flowersofinstagram
