Notes from the field
Showing Tokyo through a sweets crawl
A day of showing Tokyo through its sweets. Donuts, pastries, shaved ice. Hopping from shop to shop, and walking the city in between.
For “show me Tokyo” projects, eating your way around says more about the city than touring the landmarks. The wait outside the shop, the moment the bag opens, a bite while walking. The alleys and quiet residential streets in between become the introduction to Tokyo on their own.
What we prepare: opening hours and how busy each shop gets, the order of the route, and a quick scout of spots that photograph well. The rest we leave to the creator’s “next I want that”. The posts come out more natural that way. Days that don’t go to plan are usually the good ones.
