I'm new to this blog, and I must say I'm sicerely impressed with the postings. Read more like real magazine articles. Maybe this is the purpose. As a Burgundian living in Shizuoka, Japan, I have always been wondering why everyone feels he/she has to eat in Tokyo (mind you, the same apllies for Paris, London,...). Has ever anyone wondered it could be worth travelling, let's say for around 90 minutes by Shinkasen and look (taste) around where all those products and produce savoured in Tokyo come from? You'd be surprised to learn at taste at a price that would definitely defray your travelling expenses! Oh well, I suppose I'm just ranting about an old dilemma... Just as a proof, did you know that out of 8 restaurants awarded 3 "galaxies" by the notorious guide from my own country, no less that 3 of them had their chef from Shizuoka Prefecture? Ok, point's made! Love your site, so expect me to visit and comment soon! Cheers, Robert-Gilles Greetings!
