#best of tokyo

Japan is beautiful p8

First, this is a collection of photos taken between 2016 and today.

I’ve been checking my old library of pictures since i’m hoping to create some kind of physical memoirs of my stay here.

Today I decided to create a Patreon as well, there’s not really a big announcement nor a reason why I decided to do this.

I think some times people have asked me, and I never give it a thought until last weekend.

Just wanted to post a quick update here regarding some restaurant staff changes coming out of Tokyo…

Unfortunately, one of my favorite izakaya, Peshi in Nihonbashi, has closed its doors.

The staff has fortunately landed on their feet and found other gigs, which I will be posting about when I have more information.

Also, one of Tokyo’s best late night spots, Kadoya, has gone through some adjustments of their own, with both Taka and Tacchan having left to embark on exciting new adventures.

The Nishi-Azabu izakaya remains open with a new staff, and a modified menu, but I have not been yet. So much of my original review of and praise for Kadoya came from the warmth of the staff, so I can’t continue to recommend them as one of Tokyo’s best as I have not eaten and drank there yet. The owner, Moriyama-san, is a wonderfully talented chef and manager, and I’m sure he’s got a great new crew cooking and serving there, so I hope to try them again on my next trip.

Updates on Taka and Tacchan coming soon too!
