hey guys,

 

do you know of any independent bookstore in tokyo? 

 

i have some in my list but looking to add in more

[EG562]

T site in daikanyama. 

[conqueror]

there are tons: t-site and cow books are probably the most 'famous' in sufu-esque circles, the former being particularly incredible.

 

blue parrot in takadanobaba used to stock tons of used english stuff (i bought an old camus paperback for like 500 yen or something), but apparently closed in the last year or two.

[CASSAVA PIECE]

there's a 345 page thread

 

isn't this exactly why nobody wants to look through it though, especially since search doesn't really work properly

search or no search, a lot of it is down to pure laziness (especially since the majority of questions are the same). i ain't rewarding that.

[phatbot]

if you include used bookstores, jinbocho is full of em. most are jp-lang but there are a couple with english books

[jstavrin]

autumn is in full effect right now--where are the best non-obvious gardens/parks to stroll around?

i read through the whole topic and most of the list are already in my lists,

 

i just wanted to ask if somebody has more hidden preference. 

 

BTW my interest is art / photobooks

That's great! Any recommendations for local japanese food, places to check out for street wear etc.

Love to cop a pair of these http://sneakernews.com/2016/09/02/nike-flyknit-racer-blackout/

Would also love to find some good bars and live music. Any cool joints in Nakasu?

[bizubimu]

Any recommendations for stationery, notebook, pen etc. stores in Tokyo?

[herpsky]

Itoya in ginza. Loft in Shibuya/Yurakucho. Muji flagship in yurakucho. Tokyu hands in Shibuya. 

 

I usually pick up stuff in random department stores and book stores.

[fallen angels]

 

Japanese absolutely excel at their interpretation of foreign cuisine e.g. French, Chinese, and etc. 

 

 

Herp where is the best burger in Tokyo?

[herpsky]

firehouse in 本郷。 i think the place put an end to the whole burger debate. i've never been. 

from what i heard from "burger blogs" and random people, its the best

[Fuuma]

"Burger blogs" LOLILIOLOOLL

[herpsky]

[conqueror]

reg-on diner in ebisu is my personal favourite, although it's been almost 2yrs since i was last there.

interesting. all i know is that blacows is for people who just don't give a shit

[conqueror]

blacows is good (and i was bizarrely the only person there when i went on a friday night), but it's definitely not the 'best'.

[herpsky]
