Manten Sushi, Marunouchi
I’d heard there was a good-value sushi place in Marunouchi Brick Square, so I dropped by. This one also has a crazy-high Tabelog score, which felt a bit rigged to me, but someone who’d actually bee…

Anniversaire Café is a well-known cafe in Omotesando. I’d actually meant to stop by Omotesando Hills, but as luck would have it, it was closed that day, so I wandered in here while trying to decide where…
A while back I’d caught a passing rumour about an interesting French restaurant over in the shitamachi part of town and filed it away, and this time I finally got the chance to go. Keeping your ears open…

I went to Shirokane to meet a friend. I really do end up in this neighborhood a lot. We had lunch together at a small French bistro near my friend’s place. Daniel Dumont, the wine of the day It was a …
A month later I found myself heading back to Tokyo. Somehow this trip ended up going through Narita for the first time in years, and it was such a hassle. The price difference turned out to be tiny anyway, so …
Around the end of January I had a lot of leftover wine, so I held a get-together to work through it. The truth is I buy wine on a regular basis (or, to be precise, I get pressured into buying wine), but I rare…
