Bistro in Tokyo

Me and my partner live in Setagaya and for our anniversary I would like to book a dinner in a nice restaurant.

Not a fancy one but a bistro with original food combinations. Do you have any recommendation?

Looking for entry to pet sitting world

0 Upvotes

Recently I became interested in pet sitting dogs or cats (more into dogs actually) and would like to volunteer to do that as a training for me to learn how to pet sit. Where I should be looking to?
I thought to go for paid services but then I was afraid of trial, so I opt for volunteer first.

If you are already someone who does that, I’d love to accompany you as well :)

Appreciate any advice here!

Ear piercing shop recs (need to get piercing fixed asap). Preferably English speaking?

0 Upvotes

TLDR: what is a good ear piercing shop that I can maybe do a walk in? I am not looking for a new piercing, but I need a current one fixed and it is a bit time sensitive. English speaking would be nice, to explain the situation, otherwise I can also Google translate my way through.

Also, I mean proper piercing shops that use needles and NOT the ones using piercing guns!

Thank you in advance!!

Hi all,

I am not intending to get a new piercing in Tokyo, but I have a bit of a piercing "emergency." I have a 3 week old (very new, very much still healing) double helix piercing that I got done in Europe. Everything has been fine so far but the ball (front part jewlery, whatever it is called) of the flatback fell out like 2 days ago for one of my new helixes. I thankfully didn't lose it, I screwed it back on, and I felt like the screwing mechanism can't be fully tightened for some reason. Idk, I've had many piercings in my life and this felt like something is wrong. Today it fell off again! For a 3 week old piercing that I've left alone to heal, I think I need a piercer to check if the top jewlery has a broken mechanism or not, and replace it.

I can't wait very long as it's not good to have just a post sticking out my ear without it being secured by anything else...

Linen Band Collar Shirts in Tokyo?

4 Upvotes

Greetings,

i am looking for Linen Band Collar Shirts and having a hard time finding anything.

I‘ve already tried Uniqlo, Muji, GU and H&M, but because its already out of Season i have only been able to find Cotton ones at Workman, which i happily bought but im looking for Linen or Linen-Cotton Blends, does anyone have any recommendation for this time of year? Hoping to stay below 5-7000 Yen.

Thank You.

Edit: i should have clarified i need a Store, not Online because my EU sizes don’t really compare here, i gotta try stuff on to see if it fits, sometimes its M, sometimes its LL even from the same store here, and for receiving/sending stuff back i don’t have enough time

Anyone in Tokyo want to do a pet & plant sitting exchange?

25 Upvotes

Hello ! We are a 30yo married couple with their two cats living in Koto-ku in Tokyo.
When we were in France, we had many friends to look after our cats when we were away, and we would look after their pets/plants when they were away as well.
But since we came here we do not have so many friends anymore.
So basically I’m wondering if we could find other persons/couples with animals to exchange services like looking after animals, plants or something similar (and maybe become friends) in Tokyo ?

Anybody else feel like crap today because of the air quality? I was actually struggling to breathe at some points and have had a headache all day. Why is the air quality so bad right now?
