For my Dream holiday, i would like to go to Tokyo, Japan!!




The first reason i want to go to Japan is because it has been my wish to visit Japan someday. Their culture seems peaceful and soothing. It feels like everything will be light and peaceful when u are sitting down under a cherry blossom tree enjoying the nice cool breeze. I have also admire their martial arts like aikido and kendo and many more. I like their samurai sword technique being fast and deadly. Their ninjado is also amazing using shurikens and throwing knifes throwing at a high speed and deadly precision.

The next reason i chose Japan is because of its scenery.



The landscape of their mountains and oceans is beautiful. We would never get to see it in Singapore. Their cherry blossom also known as 'sakura' is also one of their attractions. In Japan, cherry trees were planted and cultivated for their beauty, for the adornment of the grounds of the nobility of Kyoto. It would be nice if one can enjoy their life with their love ones under a cherry tree.

The last final and most important reason that i wanted to go Japan is their FOOD!!!




Japanese food is one of the most amazing food i have ever eaten. Their sushis, takos, soba, ramen and many many more!! Omg all this food descriptions are making me drool! I shall introduce some of the great street food!!!!

First on the line is!!!!
Onigiri

What is this?? It is Japanese rice balls wrapped in nori (edible seaweed). Traditionally, onigiri is filled with umeboshi (pickled plum), salted salmon, katsuobushi or any other salty or sour ingredient. Nowadays, various flavours are available, such as fish, seafood and miso.

Next is~~
Dango

Whats this round thing? It is dumplings made from rice flour and usually consumed with green tea. In different parts of Japan, different varieties of dango can be found. Also, according to the various seasons, different flavoured dango is eaten. Japanese popular culture is influenced by this snack as well


Thirdly is!!! Most of the people should know this
Takoyaki aka our Octopus Balls!!


Dont think i need any description here. Haha most people should have eaten this before.



Dorayaki ( the one doraemon always like to eat remember??)


A flat pancake made from kasutera (castella; a Japanese sponge cake) and filled with sweet azuki bean paste. Dora refers to a "gong", which the confection highly resembles. In the Kansai region, it is known as mikasa


Last on the line is~~~
Daifuku aka Mochi!!

A Japanese confection symbolising "great luck" and consists of a small round mochi, stuffed with sweetened azuki bean fillings, and sometimes fruit, anko or crushed melon paste. Commonly available in two sizes; one about as large as a half-dollar coin, the other huge enough to fit a palm.


Thats all for my dream holiday today!! Cya~~
