Undoubtedly, an array of Japanese delicacies took centre stage. The YouTuber kick-started her culinary escapades by giving a sneak peek into an authentic izakaya, which is a type of casual Japanese gastropub where people gather to drink and eat small, shareable dishes served from an open kitchen, indicating a focus on fresh preparation.
Watch Alanna Panday's story below:
Following this, Alanna gave a virtual tour of the foodie delights she relished over there. The first frame featured a long piece of driftwood served with a big bowl of Chirashizushi (which literally means scattered sushi). This dish is characterised by its colourful and artful presentation, with the toppings "scattered" (arranged) over a layer of rice. From what it looked like, the variety of ingredients included raw fish (sashimi), seafood and chopped pieces of a range of vegetables. To balance the rich flavours of the food item and offer a mix of textures in each bite, we can also spot a couple of bowls containing side dishes commonly served with it, like miso soup, pickled ginger, seaweed salad and a few other condiments.

I asked him where he went, and he said that he went to Kirara Asuka's house. He boasted that he slept with her." However, later, calling the company's decision "unfair", he allegedly "went back on his words. He said that he didn't actually sleep with Asuka Kirara, just lied about it to look good.'
