I go back and forth to Tokyo so often, and visit the famous dessert shops every time I’m here, that by now I’ve been to almost all the major ones I wanted to try. The one that (probably) caps it al…
There were a few well-known ramen shops in Tokyo I still hadn’t made it to, and this time one of them opened a branch on Tokyo Ramen Street under Tokyo Station, so I went. Ikaruga is famous for its women…

I’d known for a while that Pierre Hermé has a café at its Aoyama shop, but only this time did I finally manage to drop by. It’s a café with a rather unusual concept, so I’d wanted to visit at…
After lunch I had a bit of time to kill before dinner, so I made the rounds of some of Tokyo’s famous sweets shops. The first stop was Mont St. Clair. It didn’t take as long to get there as I’…
