Bistro Aligot: French pie and mash at its best

by Robbie Swinnerton

Aligot: a traditional dish from central-south France, made from mashed potatoes blended with melted cheese, butter, cream and garlic. Aligot: one of Tokyo's tastiest, most unusual and atmospheric little bistros. Set among the carousing backstreets of Kanda-Jimbocho, Aligot breaks the mold in more ways than ...

Butcher Brothers: Quality meat dishes that won't break the bank

by Robbie Swinnerton

Rib steak, bangers and mash, lamb chops, simmered tripe: At Butcher Brothers, meat is much more than just an option; it's the main event, the reason you're there. And with a name like that, what else would you expect? Vegetarians avert your eyes. Not just ...

Le Petit Kanda: Oden with a strong Gallic accent

Japan's love for curry means endless variety

by Steve Trautlein

It's only a slight exaggeration to say that Japanese curry saved my life. After relocating to Japan in the late 1990s, I found myself underemployed, surrounded by unfamiliar foodstuffs and suffering from a near-total lack of cooking skills. Yet I managed to fill up ...

Light bites of every flavor in Tokyo

Food & Drink | TOKYO FOOD FILE Aug 15, 2013

Light bites of every flavor in Tokyo

by Robbie Swinnerton

Tokyo has seen more and more restaurants recently open with the express purpose of offering casual, light bites, rather than elaborate full-course meals. Close to home is fine, as long as we can nibble and graze, ordering a dish or two at a time, ...

Wana: Pay like a pauper, eat like a lord

Wana: Pay like a pauper, eat like a lord

by Robbie Swinnerton

"It's still gibier season," proclaims the sign on the street corner outside Wana. And who could argue with that? There's no reason why game meats and wildfowl should only be eaten in winter. If they're readily available, why shouldn't we enjoy them all year ...
