I finally went to a famous soba shop in Azabu-Juban with a tradition going back more than 200 years. Places like this are delicious pretty much 100% of the time. If a shop has survived 200 years on soba alone,…

I had some business in Nakano, so I stopped by. It’s 10 minutes from Shinjuku, or even 5 if you catch the rapid train… It’s a little outside the city centre, but it’s easy to get to and…
After a wild night in Ginza, I didn’t feel like just heading home, so I came all the way to Tsukiji for a bite. This time I tried Inoue, supposedly the most famous place in the neighborhood. Inoue is a l…
