A Journey Through Japan

When it comes to flavors that are both comforting and indulgent, authentic Japanese cuisine stands in a league of its own. This season’s handpicked spots offer everything from steaming bowls of ramen to delightful traditional sweets—each one bringing you closer to a true taste of Japan, right in the heart of Metro Manila.

Ramen Nagi
Located at the Ground Level, South Wing of SM Mall of Asia, Ramen Nagi delivers a bowlful of warmth with its rich tonkotsu broths, perfectly chewy noodles, and customizable toppings. Whether you’re loyal to their classic King variants or love a spicy kick, each bowl is crafted to be bold, satisfying, and unforgettable—making every slurp a comfort-filled escape.

Warabimochi
At the Lower Ground Level of SM Aura, the soft and silky Warabimochi brings a new kind of magic to dessert time. Dusted with nutty kinako or drizzled with luscious syrup, this beloved Japanese treat melts delicately on the tongue. Light yet indulgent, it’s the perfect sweet note for afternoons or after-meal cravings.


Poured to Perfection

For many, coffee and tea are more than drinks—they’re rituals, pick-me-ups, or tiny pockets of calm throughout the day. These beverage spots elevate every cup with dedication, precision, and artistry.

CHAGEE
Making its Philippine debut at the 2nd Level, City Center of SM City North EDSA, CHAGEE brings a refreshing take to tea culture. Cool, creamy, and brewed exactly right, their beverages blend tradition with fun. Whether you’re unwinding or catching up with friends, CHAGEE adds an extra spark to your tea time.

Kenangan Coffee
Brewing now at SM Megamall, Kenangan Coffee introduces its signature Indonesian flair to the Metro. Known for bold flavors and creative blends, each cup is made to elevate your everyday coffee run—whether you’re grabbing something quick or savoring a slow, peaceful moment.
H Proper Coffee Roasters

At SM Podium, H Proper Coffee Roasters transforms your daily caffeine ritual into something worth looking forward to. With rich aromas and balanced brews, it’s a spot that helps turn ordinary days into good ones—one cup at a time.


The Art of Indulgence

Some chocolates don’t just satisfy cravings—they define them. Switzerland’s world-famous Läderach, now open at SM Mall of Asia, brings this experience to the Philippines for the first time. From silky pralines to crisp nut-studded slabs and decadent truffles, every piece is crafted with world-renowned Swiss precision. Creamy, rich, or bold—whatever you choose, Läderach makes indulgence feel like an art form.

Brunch O’Clock
Why wait for the weekend? With the first Brunch Bureau in SM now serving at the 2nd Level of S Maison, brunch becomes an anytime affair. Think pancakes at 3 PM, savory plates that hit all the right notes, and coffee that elevates your me-time. Slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy brunch exactly how you want it—no rules, no rush.
