This is the first in a series of profiles of bloggers who write about Japan.
Mari Kanazawa works full-time for an IT venture business that focuses on the food industry, but she somehow manages to make a post to her blog almost every day. Straightforwardly titled "Watashi to Tokyo (Me and Tokyo)," her blog is a collection of what crosses her radar, and while definitely informative, you'd be hard-pressed to find these bite-size factoids in your ordinary Japan-watching publication.
Over its three years of existence the blog has struck a note with foreigners and Japanese, with both residents and those living abroad. In fact, one Thai publisher was so impressed with her blog that it has compiled her wittiest blog posts into book form.
