Happy 200th post!
So excited that my simple pleasure in life, eating and taking pictures, has already helped me to produce 200 posts. This site started simply as a hobby but I’ve noticed that there are many people who share my passion and I hope my site has provided some inspiration, happiness, and a taste of Tokyo dining for you.
I have to say it’s been quite a ride blogging thus far and a few exciting opportunities have come along the way. I am honored and excited to share that I am going to be a part of a French film documentary(!!) related to pastries around the world and I will blog about this experience in the near future (very small part). Some of my photography have made it to travel guide books, other websites, and most importantly, it’s been really exciting to have more readers and fans as I continue to blog. Just wanted to say a big Thank You! to all my readers/fans. I really appreciate it and enjoy all your emails and comments :)
I don’t usually share my professional work here but above are a glimpse of an engagement session I did in Shibuya a few weeks ago of an adorable Japanese/Italian couple♡ Since I constantly get the same question of what camera I use, I’d like to let you know that most of the photos you see on my blog have been shot with the Canon S100. It’s an awesome point & shoot camera and I’ve recommended it to quite a few friends who all love it (FYI: there’s a newer version out now – the S110). When I do have my DSLR with me, I shoot with the Canon 5DmarkII with a variety of lenses. I don’t usually like to bust out my heavy/large DSLR when I dine because I look like a paparazzi… but I have been carrying it around with me more frequently.
And last but not least, the cafe pictured above is called “Daylight Kitchen”. We only had tea + treats so I can’t quite give my input on the food yet but it’s definitely my kind of cafe ambiance ;) Felt like an oasis in the middle of this super busy city.
Hope you all are enjoying the summer time and thanks again for following me on Tokyoeats!
xoxo,
Maki

Hello Maki, I am about to visit Tokyo for the first time and you simply have no idea what a wealth of information your fabulous blog is! A true resource. Can you tell me what the accepted form of payment is in these types of eateries? Ciao Michela (Melbourne, Aust)
Thank you! Many places in Japan are cash only so make sure you have cash. Some places do accept CC but it’s safe to have cash with you.
