Simon is a freelance writer for Japanese Taste who is currently living in Koto-Ku, Tokyo. He first came to Japan more than 30 years ago, after graduating with a BA joint honours in English Literature/Philosophy from the University of Keele in the UK. Simon enjoys working during the day at some of the many great coffee shops in East Tokyo, and is particularly interested in writing food-and-drink-based/travel/culture articles about Japan. In his free time, he enjoys domestic and international travel, going for walks with his two French Bulldogs, and following his favourite football (soccer) team.
