Tokyo has more teeny-tiny stores and shops than any place that I have seen. Unexpected delights jump out when you least expect them leaving you aghast at the creative utilisation of space.

Le Garcon de la Vigne was a discovery on last year's trip and there was just not enough time to actually go an eat a meal there. But on a lazy, late evening walk through Hiroo last night, it surprised me all over again. The few reviews online have been generally good and there's plenty of time to have a nice supper there on this trip. The cuisine is definitely French with an amazing wine menu to match. I was just so enthusiastic about seeing it again, I thought I'd do it justice to telescope a future meal here...
