How did you celebrate Valentine’s Day? Fresi Travels celebrated in Costa Rica enjoying a delicious “arroz con pollo” (rice & chicken). This dish is traditionally served at weddings and is believed to bring happiness to the newlyweds. ⠀ A popular local phrase that came up from this traditional dish is “huele a arroz con pollo” (smells like rice & chicken) which suggests that a wedding might be coming up soon. #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #culturalexperience #thespringsresortandspa #costarica🇨🇷 #arenalvolcano #arrozconpollo

When you think about Okonomiyaki (savory pancake) the first place that comes to mind is Osaka, Japan’s street food capital. However Hiroshima is also known for this dish, has its own style, and even built a museum for this famous dish! The difference between Hiroshima and Osaka Okonomiyaki is that Osaka style mixes all the ingredients while Hiroshima style layers each ingredient. Take a look at this video to see how Okonomiyaki is prepared!! If you are visiting Hiroshima don’t forget to visit Okonomi-mura, a 3 floor complex with 24 okonomiyaki restaurants. #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #travelexperiences #uniqueexperiences #culturalexperience #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #okonomiyakiexperience #okonomiyaki #hiroshima #hiroshimaokonomiyakistyle #streetfoodjapan #japan🇯🇵 #japanesefood
What should you eat at Miyajima? Definitely some oysters, this region is the biggest oyster producers in Japan (they have been farming it for over 450 years) and they serve it in different cooking styles (raw, fried, grilled, etc). Drink Japanese whisky mixed with soda and Yuzu, a citrus widely produced in this area. For a mid day or afternoon snack try the hot buns filled with their popular anago, sea eel. And for the sweet tooth savor a delicious momiji manju, a maple leaf shaped caked filled with sweet bean paste, custard or chocolate. Bon appetite!!!! ⠀ #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #miyajimaisland #hiroshima #oysterlover #japanesefood #japan🇯🇵
We took a day trip to Kobe from Osaka, our first stop of course was a teppanyaki restaurant to try the famous Kobe beef. ⠀ There’s a lot of hype around the world about this type of beef; but what does it take to be “real” Kobe beef? Kobe is a variety of wagyu (meaning Japanese pure bred cattle) and it has to come from the Tajima strain of Japanese Black cattle raised in Japan’s Hyogo Prefecture. ⠀ For meat lovers, a bite of Kobe beef is unforgettable; juicy, tender, flavorful and will melt in your mouth little butter, so good we are still dreaming of that last mouthwatering bite! ⠀ ⠀ Notes:⠀ - Do not expect a “show” from a Japanese teppanyaki chef as seen in many of US Japanese restaurant chains or all inclusive resorts. ⠀ - All Kobe beef are considered wagyu but not all wagyu are Kobe.⠀ - Kobe beef is the most famous type of wagyu outside of Japan however there are other breeds that are equally or more famous among the Japanese. ⠀ ⠀ #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #kobejapan🇯🇵 #kobebeef #kobejapanesesteakhouse #teppanyaki #japan🇯🇵 #bestbeef #wagyubeef
This is one of the most iconic restaurants in Osaka featuring a huge moving crab billboard. It is believed that Osakans love for crab started with this restaurant back in the early 60s when they created the Kanisuke dish, crab and vegetables boiled in soup stock. ⠀ If you are a crab lover then head to Kani Doraku for the perfect feast!! Make sure you make reservations for the Dotonbori location if you want to dine in the original location and have amazing views of the area. Enjoy! ⠀ ⠀ #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #crab #kanidorakudotonbori #dotonbori #osaka #japan🇯🇵 #japanesefood

Are you a foodie? If you are then you should visit Osaka in your next trip to Japan. It is considered the food capital of the country and they even have a famous Osakan motto “Kuidaore” which translate into “eat till you drop or till you are bankrupt”. ⠀ We visit Osaka not only to eat till we drop but also used it as a hub to visit neighboring cities such as Kobe, Nada (the sake district) and Himeji (houses one of the most beautiful castles). ⠀ ⠀ #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #culturalexperience #travelexperiences #uniqueexperiences #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #osaka #japan🇯🇵

Omicho has been Kanazawa’s largest fresh food market since the Edo period (300 years). With around 200 shops and restaurants this market is a must see for foodies.

The Tsukiji Market wholesale area was moved to their new facility, the Toyosu Market, in October 2018. ⠀ Fresi Travels was able to obtain first hand inside information about the Toyosu tuna auction: ⠀ - The auction is still handled manually using a piece of paper to list all the bids as well as mark the tuna sold with a handwritten coded sign. ⠀ - The tuna auctioneers use a special Japanese dialect only used at the fish market.⠀ - Each auctioneer has their own bid call out expressions and some even make some “dance” moves to attract bids. ⠀ - Each of the bidders will test the tuna by taking a small sample and rubbing it with their fingers, checking the coloring and marbling of the tuna’s flesh, or poking it with a hook to feel the texture. ⠀ - They have to sell all the tuna available for the day even if it means a price reduction.⠀ - A tuna auctioneer is well respected around the fish market community. They have to go through a strenuous education, training and certification; and they are protected by the city’s government. ⠀ #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #culturalexperience #travelexperiences #japan🇯🇵 #tokyo #foodiesinjapan #foodies #fishmarket

Imu Ceremony Imu in Hawaiian means underground oven. The ancient cooking process uses hot coals, stones and layers of grass and leaves to steam food. It takes around 6 to 8 hours to steam a whole pig!! The imu ceremony at a luau normally involves unveiling the roasted pig out of the earth oven. Once the pork is removed it is taken to the kitchen to make the famous kalua pork dish. #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #travelexperiences #uniqueexperiences #luau #hawaiianfood #hawaii

Flavors of Hawai’i ⠀ Hawaiian cuisine is a fusion of flavors and ingredients brought from around the world from the first Polynesian voyagers to the Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, Puerto Rican, and Filipino plantation workers. Make sure to try some of the unique Hawaiian dishes when visiting the islands.⠀ ⠀ Loco Moco - comfort food at its best. Hamburger over a bed of sticky rice, topped with a sunny side up egg and dressed with a rich brown gravy. The dish was originated in Hilo in 1949. ⠀ ⠀ Poke - poke means to slice in Hawaiian. Original poke consisted of raw fish served with sea salt, candlenut, seaweed and limu (type of algae).

In Peru eating is a way of life.....If you are a foodie you should definitely visit Arequipa; it has one of the best regional cuisines in Peru. Try one of the many “picanterias”, local eateries that serve traditional home style cuisine and feel like an authentic “Arequipeño”. These restaurants cook old school style using “batan” (grinding stone kitchen utensil) instead of blenders or wood fires instead of modern ovens. ⠀ ⠀ Tips: ⠀ - Picanterias are only open for lunch so try to have a light breakfast⠀ - Dishes are huge so if you are going with a small group of people order 1/2 portions⠀ - Allow enough time to enjoy lunch, a meal at a picanteria can take 2 or 3 hours⠀ - Famous dishes: cuy chactado (fried guinea pig), rocoto relleno (stuffed hot peppers), ocopa (spicy peanut flavored sauce served with potatoes), chupe de camarones (shrimp bisque), estofado de res (beef stew), among others ⠀ ⠀ #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #travelexperiences #uniqueexperiences ⠀ #arequipa #lanuevapalomino #picanteria #peruvianfood⠀ #peru
Do you get homesick from a country you just visited? I do and I’m missing Japan so much. There’s a Japanese word, “natsukashi”, that’s very difficult to translate into English. The word means nostalgia, longing, remembering good times. That’s how I’m currently feeling....so I decided to open this mouth watering, rich, and creamy chocolate to try to transport myself back to Japan....it worked its magic...⠀ ⠀ Tip: Royce is one of the best chocolates I have ever tried in my life. Buy it at Narita airport’s duty free store, it will be packed with ice. You will need to keep it in the fridge at home and eat it within 3 weeks. ⠀ ⠀ #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #japan #roycechocolate #bestchocolateever

We had a huge dilemma last night at dinner. Should we order shabu-shabu or sukiyaki? It was our lucky day!! The restaurant offered a shabu-shabu / sukiyaki combo. Both dishes are cooked table side and uses thinly sliced meat (we decided to try the Hokkaido wagyu and pork). Shabu-shabu is a hot pot dish which is accompanied by miso and ponzu (citrus based) dipping sauce. Sukiyaki on the other hand uses a rich broth that has a sweet / savory flavor. The ingredients are then dipped in raw egg. A great experience if you enjoy cooking. ⠀ ⠀ #fresitravels #getfresiinspired #travelexperts #worldtravels #travelwithus #fresifoodies #foodies #foodphotography #shabushabu #sukiyaki #wagyubeef #japanesecuisine #sapporo #japan

Please be aware the restaurants are normally very small and they will give priority to their regular patrons. Reservations are done by phone and in Japanese so it is better to contact your hotel’s concierge to handle your reservations (some hotels have more leverage than others especially the 5 star hotels)
