This is the place where I couldn’t get proper photos last time because I didn’t have my DSLR with me. So I went back. Here’s the shop. Just like last time, I waited 30 minutes to get in. Tod…

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…

Lately I’ve had a lot of reasons to stop by Ginza. (See my previous post for what that’s about..) After wrapping up my business in Ginza, I walked over to Tsukiji to eat. Tsukiji is pretty much the…
