Chou Chou

I am Chou Chou, a "discerning" lifestyle who loves to explore the world's food and wine. From street food to Michelin restaurants, from hidden bars to specialty coffee, I am used to using my professional senses to taste, understand and compare, rather than just taking pictures and checking in. I hold WSET Wine Level 2, WSET Sake Level 1, SSI Sake Navigator, and Coffee CSP sensory skills certifications. I hope to show you the flavor value behind a glass of wine and a dish in a more systematic way. Welcome to the world of Choosy Chou-keep a little picky and make life more exciting.

Choosy Chou

Hi, this is Chou Chou. Because I have always been "picky" about good things, I founded Choosy Chou to record and share the food, flavors and travel experiences that are truly worthy of being remembered. I am a food and flavor explorer, from street food to Michelin restaurants, from hidden bars to boutique cafes, I like to use my professional senses to taste, understand and compare, rather than just taking pictures and checking in. I have WSET Wine Level 2, WSET Sake Level 1, SSI Sake Navigator, and Coffee CSP Sensory Skill Foundation licenses. I hope to use a more systematic way to show you the flavor value behind a glass of wine and a dish. I have traveled to many countries such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, Iceland, and the United Kingdom. I believe that the most authentic language in the world is hidden on the table and in the cup. Choosy is not picky, but an insistence on the quality of life. You are welcome to join me in savoring the world with higher standards.
