I added a new page to the Tokyo Stroll web supplement for Adachi Ku
http://www.koyagi.com/TokyoStroll/TSAdachiku.html
So much for my claim last month to only add a few location entries to start new pages. Adachi ku ended up with 25 entries.
I added a note to the Shinjuku Station area page that Studio Alta will be closing in February 2025.
In February I created a new page for Arakawa Ku
http://www.koyagi.com/TokyoStroll/TSArakawaku.html
Starting now I will create most new pages for each administrative part of Tokyo, cities, towns and villages, with just a few places listed. More will be added to them in the future. I want to quickly set the foundations for pages to make it easier to add more information in the future.
This is also partly because I need to spend more time preparing presentations that I am committed to doing in the near future.
Bookmark color change:
I also added a change to the color coding for the TokyoStroll.kmz bookmark set. Some of the bookmarks are in Blue. Blue bookmarks indicate an entry in Tokyo Stroll that has had a location change, name change, or closed temporarily or permanently. Blue bookmarks have a note with further information which is visible when you tap on that bookmark.
New Entry:
Added an entry for Yuzawaya to the Ikebukuro Station Area page.
Book recommendation:
Culinary Encyclopedia of Japan Vol. 1 Ingredients: A deep dive into Japanese Cooking by Keita Wojciechowski
This book is big, 8.25 x 1.43 x 11 inches and 550 pages. All of it packed with solid information about ingredients, including the Latin names of planet and animals. One sign of a good book is an index, for this book the detailed index takes up almost 100 pages and is broken down into several categories for easier browsing. Filled with solid information, no recipes, no pictures, imagine how large it would be if it had those. I got the paperback some folks may want to opt for the hardcover given how massive the book is.
This book deservedly won the 29th Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in the Encyclopedia Category.
