Isshoni London Re-launch!

After taking time off to move home, I am tickled pink to re-launch the Isshoni London blog! The blog will bring you information on Japanese Londonforthcoming events, news, reviews and interviews to keep you connected with what’s happening and what’s hot.

What’s changed with Isshoni London?

1) The location – I am now based in leafy, friendly Wimbledon
2) The logo – a new-look logo, designed by artist and writer Al Milway, and put in place by Dan and Kate of Kitchen Critic! Thanks guys, it looks fab!
3) The blog – will now be updated regularly.

Each article on the blog will be written in English, with a Japanese glossary below. That means it not only contains all the latest about Japanese London, but provides a useful resource for English reading practice at any level, from beginner to advanced.
