The only reason I had dinner in Roppongi on purpose was the desserts you eat sitting at the counter of Toshi Yoroizuka, a place I’d been dying to try. Last order is at 9, but you have to go to the shop i…

On Tuesday a friend suddenly asked if I wanted to grab dinner together on Wednesday evening. He said it was his treat, so if there was somewhere I wanted to go, now was the time — and I really agonised over wh…

I took advantage of a short break to go to Izu with some friends. Izu is a peninsula about two hours from Tokyo. The main goal of this trip was to cover as much of Izu as we could in two days and one night. Ou…
Ladurée, the historic Paris pâtisserie famous for its macarons, opened a branch in Tokyo on July 26. After their events in January and February turned out to be a big hit, it looks like they rode that momentum…
