I am not a fan of fusion cuisine (as it is so often done poorly). I do enjoy it once in a while, but given a choice between authentic cooking or fusion cuisine, I would much rather have the authentic one, the way the locals eat it.

I am in no way an introvert but I wanted to try it out!
Secretly, I’m a geek (sometimes not so secretly). I used to watch Gundam as a kid and collected a few items when I was growing up. While planning my trip to Japan, I made sure to include Gundam Cafe to my list. And it didn’t disappoint!
