I’d read on some blog that a French butter specialty shop called Echire had recently opened in Marunouchi, and I made up my mind to go. Their croissants, made with loads of butter, are so popular that yo…
My trips always have a clear purpose, and the main purpose of this Tokyo trip was shopping. On past Tokyo trips I was so busy meeting people that I never had much time to shop properly. This time it was a thre…
Right before heading home at the end of a business trip to Tokyo, I dropped by, with some friends, a place I’d been dying to visit! It’s the café run by a bakery called VIRON in Shibuya, which serv…

For White Day, I went with some of my fellow single friends to Chemins, a small French restaurant in Akasaka. Everyone had been telling me for ages how good it was, especially how amazing the food is with wine…
After a quick lunch I meet up with a friend who lives in Tokyo. We used to go to izakaya a lot whenever we got together, but these days it’s mostly home parties. It works out cheaper and we can hang out …
