When I came to London, I wanted to know about all the best Japanese restaurants. I wanted to know where I could go to practise and learn Japanese. I wanted to know where I could buy Japanese ingredients. I kept missing out on films playing for a short time, special exhibitions and competitions.

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 London – forthcoming 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.
