It’s 2016! Want to celebrate the New Year in true Japanese style? Check out our New Year’s guide (p.13~15) for special events and tips on how to properly pray at a shrine. This month, we recommend a visit to the Hakata Traditional Craft and Design Museum; stop by to view the weekly exhibits and have a cup of something warm – great after an excursion to Kushida Shrine. If you plan to visit Hakozaki Shrine this New Year, then take a break at Nagata Pan Hakozaki, a cozy bakery in a renovated old house. Soba is a must in the New Year, and we recommend Kikosoba Gen, where the noodles are made daily with freshly ground wheat. They also serve a mean soba pizza! In the mood for something meaty? Try BBQ & Veg Butcher NYC, which serves only grass-fed beef (so it’s rich in taste and soft in texture). Their Napolitan spaghetti, made using beet ketchup, is a must try!
