The best way to explore Japan is to get recommendations from a local. This time around, we got resident foodie @tokyohalfie to share with us insider gems of Aizu-Wakamatsu, a culturally rich historic city on Japan’s Honshu island. Swipe for three, and tap the link in bio for the full list. First photo by Getty Images #Japan #AizuWakamatsu #TokyoHalfie #Tatler #TatlerTravel #TatlerSingapore
Wagyu katsu sando, which literally translates to ‘Japanese beef cutlet sandwich’, has been gaining popularity in Singapore and beyond over the past several years—and for good reason. The sandwich is the epitome of indulgence, with the well-marbled Wagyu beef breaded and deep-fried to create a crisp outer layer while the interior remains utterly soft and succulent. This is embedded within soft, fluffy bread and drenched in accompanying sauces to enhance its sumptuous flavours and textures. While Wagyu katsu sandos are found everywhere, nothing beats savouring the delicious versions in their birthplace of Tokyo, Japan. From high-end yakiniku restaurants to dedicated katsu sando speciality stores, check out our link in bio for a few favourites selected by Tokyo-based food enthusiast Tokyo Halfie (@tokyohalfie).

⚠️REBRAND⚠️ “Halfieinthecity” is now TOKYO HALFIE!🎌 . 私事ですが、「Halfie in the City」は「TOKYO HALFIE」にリブランドすることに致しました‼️ . Initially when I created this food account, I was working in “The City” (ie the financial district in London)... but now that I’ve been in Tokyo for 2.5 years, it felt like an upgrade was overdue✨ I will continue to share my foodie adventures in and out of Tokyo☺️ . このインスタを始めた頃は「The City」(ロンドンの金融街) で働いているハーフ、と言う意味を込めてハンドルを作りました👩🏽💻 2年半前に東京に転勤してきたのでハンドルも一新し、短くて皆様にとって親しみやすい「TOKYO HALFIE」に改名しました❣️ これからも変わらずに食レポを発信するので、引き続きよろしくお願いします🙇🏽♀️
