I fell in love with Japan during a trip to Kyoto earlier this year. From the luscious food to the courteous people, I’d return in a heartbeat (why oh why can’t I teleport?). Warm welcoming smiles, fresh wholesome food that put vegetables firmly back as the main starrer in my diet, I loved Japan including the 30°C heat. I am just putting the finishing touches to a special Japanese feature, so do keep your eyes peeled.

If like me, you too love Japanese culture, then put these following dates in your diary.

From 24-26 November, head over to Tobacco Dock for the Hyper Japan Christmas 2017 festival. Consider this to be your one-stop experience for all things Japanese in London. With Christmas around the corner, your diary will no doubt be filling up. Put this in your diary stat, because it’s going to be a fun, fabulous event.
