Meet the artisan family striving for a better fish flake

The local train bound for Yamakawa bucked and buckled down the coast, jouncing us until our teeth rattled, and Yamakawa was so dinky we had to walk across the train tracks to exit the station.

Berry's Cafe: Burgers so good you can forgive the decor

Maple syrup goes with anything — even fried chicken

The staff at Soul Snacks in Ginza will politely recommend that you move the tiny chicken drumsticks out of the way before you cover your waffle with syrup and butter, but disregard that.
