Hi Yukari
Thanks! Hope you are well. Your dining tips will be really useful when we visit Tokyo. We’re travelling from South Korea to Fukuoka then onto Hokkaido for a road trip and arrive inTokyo on the 7 Oct for a week before returning to New Zealand. Coral & I were last in Japan in 2018 and remember enjoying a lovely lunch with you. Let me know if you’d like to catch up for lunch while we’re in Tokyo.

Kind regards
