Every time I visit Tokyo, I make a time to visit Asakusa. I did the same yesterday. Here are some pictures I took. Because it was Saturday, there were many people, bit this time I noticed many firing visitors.

F & B in Japan for US Brand Names

5月

28日

I was at Tokyo Midtown (Roppongi) meeting with Food and Beverage (F&B) Specialit today. I learn what needs to be done to bring US Brand products to Japan. What Japanese people are looking for ...

When you think about it, it is all in the presentation and branding. What is funny is that we never talked about what food tastes like. I learned a lot today. I am starting to think everything including restaurants and IT ... the bottom line is the perception and branding.

I am starting to think like marketing specialist.

Japanese Taxi with WiFi

5月

28日

It is very hard to find free WiFi hot spot in Japan. Many places say Free WiFi but they are only available to peoole with subscriptions. But yesterday, the taxi we got on (MK Taxi) had free WiFi. That was great.

In Japan all commercail cars with proper licenses carries green number plates. Any car with white number plates do not have license to carry people commercially. So some times, taxi with no license is called White Taxi. Do not get on them.

Ramen Store in Shibuya

5月

28日

I found a ramen shop on the platform of Shibuya Station called RaOh ...
The ramen is 300 yen regardless the size (S/M/L) and it is based on Nisshin's Instant Noodle. Yes, you heard it right, you get to eat instant noodle cooked for you.

I did not have time to try this yesterday ... I will try it if I can in next few days I have left in Tokyo.

Let us assume there is a illness that only one in one hundred develops.
There is a test you can get to see if you have this illness. This test has 95% accuracy.
You went to the doctor and received this test and you were told you have this illness.

Most people including myself miss this. What is your answer?

Tokyo

I arrived at my hotel in Tokyo late last night. All I could do was to take shower and sleep. I woke up around 6:00am ... I wanted to sleep some more but my body is not adjusted to the Japan time yet.
