Hi guys! Today I'm back with another restaurant review, this time it's of Ginza Teppanyaki.

Located in China Town right in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, the restaurant boasts authentic 'teppan' (iron plate) 'yaki' (fried) Japanese food.

The food was pricy, but immaculately prepared before your eyes on an iron griddle.

This sign could be seen on your way out, rather than on the way in. A little dodgy!

We sat on a table near the window and were given bibs by Yukata-clad (Yukata is a traditional Japanese summer garment) waitresses.

A waitress in Yukata.

We ordered some Asahi beer on tap.

They had a fully stocked bar.

The menu had vegetarian options as well as seafood, red meat, rice and eggs as components.

You order a set menu from a few options and sit back and relax as multiple courses are served to you.

Here comes the part that distinguishes this Teppanyaki restaurant from a normal dining experience...

After the fun was over, we left the empty restaurant as it was closing time on a weekday.

You can find Ginza Teppanyaki at 139 Little Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000.

Grind grind grind dollar signs on my mind,

All the time.

You gotta get it from in the am
and then work it to the pm
You know a mf'er grinding
when you mf'ing see him
That's why fuckers in our dm tryna be em
Ain't no hands out.
all this shit was planned out
Had to get to the top and standout
Niggas in our way gettin ran out.
Who knew things would pan out
Not me.
only thing I knew
was that nobody could top me
Or stop me
from gettin that broccoli
Watch me.
You knew when you cross me
who the real boss be
Cuz I grind grind grind
In result I can shine shine shine
Work hard bottom line
You'll be fine
Just grind

(Ketsuban)
When they say damn girl got bars

Like I’m some sort of kawaii joke

I’ll hit em till they seein stars

Put ‘em in that guillotine choke

I’m newly single I’m here on the scene

And I’m looking like something out of a wet dream

With dubskie representin hard hitters

Got big guns and my finger on the trigger

Who’s the baddest bitch you know?

All these shiners flashing silver,

But I only fuck with gold,

Poppin pills in Tokyo.

Think I’m pretty?

Well I ain’t for sale,

I’m an independent bitch,

While your bitch’s pussy’s stale.

Just kick it over there and enjoy my steeze,

Bad in a two piece, only here to smoke trees,

Haters got a lot to say and feel free

But let me write you a letter from where you’d rather be.

Work hard, work fast, get some class,

Then maybe you'd be sitting over here with me

Hi guys! So I wanted to do a bit of a review of Sakura Kaiten Sushi, because I'd love to share some cheap eats here in Melbourne with you all.

Conveniently located next to Melbourne Central, this cheap sushi train restaurant is a must visit.

Sakura Kaiten from the outside:

The entryway is decked in anime merch.

The best thing about Sakura Kaiten is that it's a sushi train restaurant, those are super convenient!

And the reason it's listed as a cheap eat is that you can get their lunch special for only $3.8! Also for a light lunch, most of the dishes are reasonably priced and there are vegetarian options available. For example, this bowl was egg and tofu udon and they have egg sushi as well, just to name a couple of vegetarian friendly dishes.

If you don't have any dietary requirements, there are plenty of fish to choose from and also rice dishes. The menu has a lot to offer!

Thanks for catching up with me! See you next time!

Hi guys! It's Ketsuban here. Today I visited the White Rabbit brewery in Geelong. I got to partake in some beer tastings and learn more about how they make it.

So White Rabbit and Little Creatures are owned by Lion, the biggest beer producers in Australia. They also own the licensing for brewing Guinness, Heineken and other beer brands. As I approached, I saw the brewery was huge with high fences guarding it. Grand and somewhat intimidating, I was shown by a security guard to a path leading around a few corners. I was brought to a little part of the factory used for beer tasting. Here's what it looks like inside.

The fridges stocked White Rabbit beer, including the "Red" beer which is a new beer they're just starting to release. I got to try it and it was really enjoyable!

I also got to try a beer that was brewery exclusive, only available on their taps at the moment. They added rose and raspberry syrup to my glass which was super yummy. It's really cool that you can drink beer with additions like that, it's certainly not something I'd tried before.

I got to try their "Curious?" beer which is an additional beer they provide with the tastings that changes depending on what experimentations the brewery is doing. I also got to try the standard "Dark" beer, "White" beer and their Pale Ale. I enjoyed all of the beers a lot aside from the pale ale, which didn't have too much of a standout flavor.

If you are in the Geelong area and like beer, the White Rabbit and Little Creatures brewery is definitely something you should check out.

Thanks for catching up with me! See you next time,

Hey everyone! Since July is almost over now I figured I would share a run down of my favorite things for the month. This month is super special as well because it's my birthday month!

B o o k s

Seed by Lisa Heathfield was a gripping read about life inside a cult that combined very dark, borderline horror elements with young adult fiction in a way that's very stomachable, for the most part. It's definitely a good thrilling read I'd recommend.

One by Sarah Crossan wasn't a thriller, but was also a young adult fiction novel following the lives of conjoined twins Grace and Tippi as they go to highschool for the first time. It's also definitely a recommended read from me!

Bojack Horseman season 3 was absolutely amazing. The show reached new heights in both emotional intensity and gut-busting comedy. The absurdist premise is so valuable to keeping the viewer's attention while things build up to expose raw and very real issues pertaining to the entertainment industry, a woman's place in society and consumerism, just to name a few. TL;DR the show is dramatic and funny, definitely a must watch for everyone especially those who are a fan of adult animated cartoons (not the sexy kind 😋).

Keeping Up With The Kardashians season 12 has been a highlight to my weekly July routine because I find the Kardashians to be genuinely funny. I also love their tight-knit family dynamic and watching them live their luxurious lifestyles. For me it's relaxing to see their houses and vacations and how organised and calm everything is. It's helped through some tough days this month.

3ina (pronounced Mina) is a newly launched cosmetics brand I tried out recently, completely VEGAN and CRUELTY FREE. I got their foundation and some eyeshadow colors, as well as their pink color mascara. The foundation is AWESOME and for its price is definitely worth it as a great premium foundation! Here's some pics of the products I've tried out so far and how I look wearing it.

Definitely check out 3ina if it's available near you and give the new brand some support!

Pokemon GO has been super fun...I'm team Valor! Do you play? What team are you?

Bonsoy soymilk has been a total game changer for me, I've been wanting to cut out milk because I'm slightly intolerant and also for ethical reasons! But I can't stand the taste of soymilk otherwise. Finding bonsoy was amazing because I can't even tell the difference with my cereal, it doesn't have the nasty aftertaste some brands do!

Thanks for catching up with me! See you next time,

In no particular order 😄

4. Green Island

The view of fish from a glass bottom boat from Green Island...it's the Great Barrier Reef!

3. Ellis Beach

2. The Esplanade

(They have a rad public outdoor pool that's super clean! Looks better during the day but I didn't want to take photos of random people in their swimsuits so I came at night when it was closed haha.)

1. The Marina

The Spirit of Cairns runs lunch, dinner and sunset cruises that are popular with tourists and for special celebrations. They offer a scenic ride with a full buffet and drinks. I really wanted to try it out! So I did!

The buffet included antipasto, quiches, 3 different salads, prawns, fish and chicken among other things...

The boat fit a good amount of people!

And the exterior of the boat had some tables and bean bags for sunbathing and enjoying the view. Also lots of standing space.

(Me standing around on the boat haha...)

Lunch (first plate, it's a buffet so you can get as many helpings as you want).

The drinks they serve.

2nd plate!

All in all I would say the Spirit of Cairns is definitely an amazing time. I haven't felt so relaxed in a long time as I did on the boat. Although there was slightly annoying live entertainment inside the dining area. I think it was part of the package of a crew of men and women celebrating a 50th birthday on a table near us. But some of their act was enjoyable nonetheless and the annoyance was counterbalanced by the great food and sunny view.

Thanks for catching up with me!

See you next time,

Ketsuban. x
