Kawakamian, a Soba Shop in Azabu-Juban
I had some business to take care of, and on the way home afterwards I thought I would grab a late-night snack, so I stopped by Kawakamian, a soba shop in Azabu-Juban. Even though it is a soba shop it stays ope…

After finishing dessert at Robuchon, I headed to Akihabara to check out Pentax’s newest camera. Those who know me know that the camera I’ve used for about six years now is a Pentax *istDS with a 31…
I plan my travel routes around dessert first. The whole reason I deliberately picked Tempura Mikawa for lunch was that I wanted to visit this café, which I’d had my eye on for a while. The entrance It…
I usually go to Tokyo about once every two months, but this time I went back after just one. Once every two months really does feel a bit short. There are so many people I want to see, but I never have enough …
Before the big wave of Tokyo posts, let me start with Naniwa Sushi, where I went for the first time in a while. I booked ahead and had a reasonable amount. The sushi was as good as ever. Nodoguro Today’…

Gran Gusto is a well-known Italian restaurant that even got two ribbons in the Blue Ribbon guide. I went to its opening party and dropped by a few times early on, but lately I hadn’t had a reason to go, …
After a good bowl of naengmyeon, our next stop was Passion 5, a dessert cafe in Itaewon. Honestly, if it’s not Itaewon there aren’t many places worth going to. It’s a dessert cafe, but itR…
After a nice Chuseok day, the next day our club held a small foodie meetup. I was craving naengmyeon, and the reason I went out of my way to pick Pyeongyang Myeonok in Jangchung-dong was its varied menu. There…
This is already a month-old story -_- I came back to Korea for a Chuseok special, and as you know, around the big holidays pretty much everywhere shuts down, so I always end up agonizing over where to eat. A f…
I’d been craving makgeolli and pajeon for a while (it’s been who knows how many years since I last had that combo), and I’d heard this place was good for it in Gangnam, so off I went. You wal…
