I got to Tokyo Station at 7 in the morning and headed straight to Tsukiji to meet up with my foodie group. When you’re travelling in Tokyo, Tsukiji is about the only place where you can get a proper brea…

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…
