A church in Ginza.

As moblogged, I was at the Cap (a magazine design group) exhibit at the Ginza Graphic Gallery on Saturday. It’s great, and you should really try to have a look at it if you’re in Tokyo. Covers a lot of cool magazines, and I just love how page layouts are plastered everywhere. It’s no secret…

I’ve been meaning to write a post about this place for a while, but just sort of forgot about it until this weekend. The Hikaricho Ramen Meisakuza recently opened in Ikebukuro (sometime last month), and is composed of 7 ramen shops that serve different specialties of ramen all in this tiny street off of Sunshine…

As I wrote in my post on Saturday from the Apple Store, I was seriously looking at the iSight webcams, and ended up getting one. Just had a quick chat with Chad, but being at work he was really limited in what he could do. As you can see, Yuko is enjoying it a lot…

Just got back from having coffee at Pause, a new cafe that opened last week just down the road from my place. I was really excited about the place opening because Ikebukuro is not really known for its stylish cafes, like the kind you find in Aoyama. I was very happy by the look inside,…

The Axis building in Roppongi. A design lovers dreamhouse.

On Saturday we walked from Kamiyacho to Roppongi, passing through Azabu, heading towards Roppongi Hills. As we were walking in the back streets of Roppongi, I saw the sign for this James Bond themed bar called Seven. All drinks are 700 yen. Now, I’ve never made it a secret that I’m a huge James Bond…
