HOW TO

Tokyu Hands Dept. Store, Shinjuku, Tokyo. (1.1.07)

Found: In Translation

A Japanese magazine (COURRIER JAPON) translated my New York Times T Travel magazine story about eating everything in Tokyo into JAPANESE. Cool. I am much, much funnier in Japanese. And skinny.

Hotel for the lazy, lactose intolerant

Headed to Tokyo this morning. Can't wait. One night here, then onto Claska and the Park Hyatt.

This isn't a food-porn blog and nobody is reading it. So I'll share this with myself. Had dinner last night with Adam Rapoport and Mitchell Davis at one of the shiny beige steakhouses that are everywhere in the city these days. The meat was fine but hard to compare with what we'd had in Tokyo at a tiny, basement sushi-bar style steakhouse called Shima. April and I were back there last year & I took this picture of Chef Oshima weighing our portion of the pink-as-bubble-gum marbled Kyoto beef. Now I've made myself hungry again.
