Giveaway news, sightseeing with a robot and making your own Japanese beer garden

Long time, no sea
 
June marched in with a heatwave, just in time for some pride month celebrations, and when the sun gave up on us, the Euros and Wimbledon kicked off a summer of sport with the eternal question: "is it coming home?"
 
Meanwhile, Japan saw the opening of its first café with robot waiters remotely controlled by disabled workers and plans to open a Demon Slayer attraction at Universal Studios Japan in Osaka!
 

Let’s take a look at what else is going on with Japan right now, plan your Japan visit for later, and check out our Postcards from Japan on June's foodie theme ENRYO NO KATAMARI, or the last bit of food everyone is too polite to touch!

Mind if I have the last bite?
We all know the feeling...
There's just one delicious morsel left on the sharing platter and everyone is pretending it's not staring them in the face!
 
It's a classic ENRYO NO KATAMARI 遠慮の塊 situation - the phrase literally means 'a clump of restraint' and it refers to that one last lonely bit of food, the ultimate casualty of extreme politeness. 
 
Delicious Japanese cuisine is the best part of every trip to Japan, so this month we asked our friends on the ground for that one dish they'll clear their plate for every time.
 
Here are a couple of things we learnt along the way:
1) Shinjuku Nichome's 7Eleven is the best place to meet queer people in Tokyo 🌈
2) Osaka hides all the best places for stuffing your face with Japanese food! 🍜
3) Tokyo’s 'Shitamachi' areas are amazing for 'off the beaten path' adventures 🚶‍♂️
