Just prior to the pandemic I was commissioned to write an ‘Eating Tokyo by train’ story for Australian Gourmet Traveller. Sadly it sat for a couple of years, waiting, waiting for Japan to re-open… and by the time it was appropriate to print, Tokyo had naturally […]

Anzukko Gyoza
September 5, 2016
By janelawsonfood
Usually when I’m in Kyoto long term I stay in an apartment but this particular trip was a shorty so it was all about hotel life (5 of ’em to be precise!). Being slap bang in the centre of town this time it was easy to […]
