Excited to have been tapped by Travel + Leisure Asia to pen a piece on eating in Japan.

Great working with my editor, Veronica Inveen, to share with readers insider tips, having worked at both the Park Hyatt Tokyo and Takashimaya, and as the author of Food Sake Tokyo on dining out in Nippon.

I hope you can explore some of these delicious eats in 2025!

It’s so much run brainstorming ideas for who to include giving a broad spectrum of cuisines, price points, vegetarian cuisine, and including cocktails, sake, coffee, and local eats in quieter parts of Japan, not just in Tokyo.

Sharing this PDF of the article as I can’t seem to find a copy of the magazine sold here in Tokyo. Hope to see you all in Japan in the future. 🥰
