We\u2019ve published guides on our website to viewing spots for both. This month\u2019s restaurant pick is Ginmi where the <em>dashi<\/em> is made right before your eyes. For a comfort-food noodle experience, we introduce Pikamatsu. Try either their <em>champon<\/em> or <em>sara udon<\/em> served in a folksy setting. Alternatively, for creative and exceptional tasting cocktails in a chill yet classy lounge with a counter bar, check out The Roam Bar in Shirogane. Finally, in a city already filled with awesome independent cafes, do we need more? Well, Doug Weber and partners at Kamakiri Coffee think so! Read about their new cafe in Yakuin where a cortado and yummy sourdough toast can be enjoyed. However, our big scoop this month is our guide to a recently discovered power spot in Itoshima called Shinseki, or God Stone. Read all about that and eight suggested events on our website, or download the PDF.<\/p>\n<p>Expand the viewer below to browse the magazine\u2026<\/p>\n<div data-configid=\"3209099\/68045156\" style=\"width:100%;
