What was your best night out in Tokyo?
We went with a Japanese friend to the oldest pub in Tokyo – well, the outskirts of Tokyo. It is in stark contrast to the new, slick, shiny Tokyo, but this fantastic place is due to be ripped down and rebuilt, sadly. It's called Iseya-Kichijoji and has the best dumplings I have ever tried!

What was your favourite shop?
Casa Gucca in Matsuyama is a boutique-style furniture and fashion shop spread over three floors. They stock our range and other nice things.

What was the best market you visited?
The Tsukiji fish market is really amazing and worth the visit. You feel like you shouldn't be there. The workers just carry on with their business, zooming around in little trucks. It felt like being on a James Bond film set.
