"My favorite exhibition space in Roppongi is called 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT. They have the most amazing exhibitions and displays. It can be a bit hidden away so I’d try and take someone there."

"Shibuya Yokocho, a drinking street in Shibuya, is very cinematic. You’ve got these lanterns and these tiny bars — each bar can hold maybe six people. There’s one called TIGHT, it’s on the second floor of Yokocho. It’s really, really good."
