Naniwa Sushi, My Regular Sushi Place
Before the big wave of Tokyo posts, let me start with Naniwa Sushi, where I went for the first time in a while. I booked ahead and had a reasonable amount. The sushi was as good as ever. Nodoguro Today’…

We had the first round at 2chef and went to a ramen shop for the second, and the ramen that came out was truly awful. I don’t get why anyone would try to make money selling stuff like that. At the very l…
We held another gathering at that restaurant we always go to. Going this often might be a problem, but here the wine is always the main event, so it never gets old that easily. Glasses As always, they show …
Gran Gusto is a well-known Italian restaurant that even got two ribbons in the Blue Ribbon guide. I went to its opening party and dropped by a few times early on, but lately I hadn’t had a reason to go, …
After a good bowl of naengmyeon, our next stop was Passion 5, a dessert cafe in Itaewon. Honestly, if it’s not Itaewon there aren’t many places worth going to. It’s a dessert cafe, but itR…

Maybe because rent isn’t all that high and it’s close to central Tokyo, Koenji is full of young people living on their own. A lot of my friends who moved up from the countryside live around here to…
I went out to Shinjuku for lunch and really struggled to decide where to go. Having come all the way to Tokyo, I couldn’t just eat any old thing. So I headed to the Park Hyatt hotel in Shinjuku, making a…
