In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Happy New Year. I was at Mitsuwa NJ today. I saw someone in the food court eating ramen from Santoku that looks like you. Were you by chance at Mitsuwa NJ todat?

Happy New Year. I recently joined this forum. I have read your posts and found it very good in terms of improving knowledge about new things or changing in lifestyles.
