This June, we tell you how you can experience Japan without even leaving the city: check out KL's top Japanese cafés and restaurants for noodles, sushi and omakase, yakitori, green tea desserts and coffee, the best shops for Japanese fashion and knick-knacks, and also ikebana, tea and saké classes you can join. Konnichiwa KL!

In Shopping & Style, we get Raya-ready with collections by local designers and brands, and in Food, we revisit some favourite brunch dishes and list this year's buka puasa meals and buffets (FYI, Ramadhan is coming!).

In Film, we take a look at Japanese film director Hayao Miyazaki's most acclaimed film fantasies, while our TV section lists some of the best classic anime series for anime beginners.

In Music, ahead of the release of her third studio album, 'Chapters', Yuna chats with us about collaborating with Jhené Aiko, love and the loss of love, and flying the flag for modest Muslim musicians everywhere.

In Nightlife, we've got the top bars in town for Japanese spirits: saké, shōchū, Japanese whiskies and Japanese-inspired cocktails. Kampai!
