ristorante:

I’m a big fan of desserts, and I personally think it takes lot of guts to become a dessert chef and dessert connoisseur. There are certainly a lot of sweet tooths out there, and I’ve found one who has just absolutely fallen in love with finding the very best desserts. Her name is Namada Metabo; with her cute glasses and SLR camera, she sets out across Japan in search of desserts.

Her blog, namabolic, documents her adventures around the urban centers of Japan like Daikanyama, Shibuya and Harajuku, which apparently is dessert central for residents and tourists alike. What I like most is that, while the blog is written in Japanese, I can still get a grasp for what she is raving about through her wonderful pictures of the dessert. Of course, I still resort to using Google Translate to get a gist of her words, but unnecessary to take in the full beauty of her pictures. Namada updates quite often, so readers can get their fair share of eye candy, so to speak.

For any of you planning on visiting Japan in the future, it would be a great idea to use Google Translate to sift through her posts for dessert shop locations. If you’re not really familiar with the names of Japanese prefectures or districts, I recommend consulting Japanese tourist booklets as a quick reference. Namada also posts links of the dessert shops she visits if it exists, which should make it easy to track down good locations to visit. Yum!
