I went to Hiro, a famous Italian restaurant that competes for the number one or two spot even in Tokyo. It’s in the basement of a building right in the middle of a residential area, so it’s a litt…
I finally went to Shinjuku Gen, the ramen shop yepok strongly recommended to me a while ago. It’s a Hokkaido-style ramen shop. It had moved from its original spot, so I had a bit of trouble finding it, b…
