Okayama 岡山: Yubara Onsen Sunayu 湯原温泉砂湯 || Maniwa City

My dream came true having an outdoor open-air public Onsen during winter season with full of snowy white background along the Asahi river, which is just right in front of the Yubara Dam, known as the "Yubara Onsen"! The Yubara Onsen is a very unique natural Onsen (hot spring bath) in Okayama prefecture that has been awarded with the title of "Nishi no Yokozuna" which means the Champion of Western Japan, in the category of National Hot Springs. How dreamy it was! It was still fresh and mesmerizing in my memories - woke up early in the morning to get the first dip before any other people, enduring the cold weather while walking towards the Onsen area with just wearing a yukata and an outer jacket.

Yamagata 山形: The Glorious Zao Monsters || Mount Zao 蔵王山

For winter season, Mount Zao in Yamagata is one of the most famous place where you can view Zao Monsters, other than Mount Hakkoda in Aomori and Mount Moriyoshi in Akita. What are Zao Monsters? Zao Monsters are not real monsters but are actually the spectacular snow-covered trees up on Mount Zao. All the trees look like monsters when the heavy snow season (around Feb) hits Mount Zao. The view was magnificent! The Zao snow monsters were really spectacular all over the whole Mount Zao. It was so gorgeously beautiful but at the same time, super cold and strong wind up the Mountain. Remember to wear appropriate layering, shoes and outer jackets so that you can explore outdoor longer. We activated our 6 Days JR East-South Hokkaido Rail Pass (35000yen) at Ueno station early in the morning to Yamagata station by Yamagata Shinkansen line. For this Yamagata shinkansen l...

Kuala Lumpur 吉隆玻: Aberlour Tasting Masterclass 2024 || Booze iT Retail, Bangsar Shopping Centre

One of our weekend pastime is to join any whisky/wine/sake tasting masterclass! This time was all about Aberlour Scotch Whisky. Aberlour distillery is such a quiet one, without much noticeable and not getting any attention from other people, they are not as loud as the Macallan, Singleton and etc. In deed, they stay in their own motto "Let the Deed Show". In this RM50 nett masterclass, we were able to taste on their 12 years, 14 years and 16 years. Everything were well prepared before the tasting masterclass starts. From little titbits to mineral water and to food pairing. Aberlour 12 years was served as a welcome drink ! The masterclass starts when most of the guests had arrived. The PowerPoint slides prepared were really informative and knowledgeable. We got to know more about how Scotch whisky is defined. The 5 types of Scotch whisky available like single malt, single grain, blended Scotch, blended malt and blended grain. And also the difference between ...
