So...who are you?

Hi, and thanks for asking.

My name is Bill...surprise, surprise.  I have lived in Tokyo for quite some years now and have a degree in food sciences. However, I'm not a brewer nor in the restaurant business, nor am I a professional food or entertainment writer.

So, why should you pay any attention to me? You really don't have to -- and that's okay!  I simply want to invite you to share in some of my experiences exploring the Tokyo area craft beer scene, and other establishments.  As you might have seen, I showcase some of the products and places that I happen to like, and to highlight upcoming events that you may appreciate knowing about.

So with that, my fellow beverage aficionados, welcome to, and thank you for visiting ... theTokyoBill.

Kampai!

Bonfire ... 

One big reason I came to Japan was the opportunity to study the martial art lineage known as ninjutsu.  The dojo founder and head teacher, Masaaki Hatsumi, has officially retired from teaching, whereas I've only unofficially halted my training. 

I've put out a clothing line with "
ninja" in kanji calligraphy, and a range of other products, available on Bonfire.  Some items you can see here, linked to my Bonfire store.

Alternate styles & colors are viewable via the store link.  But, should you want different color choices, let me know and I'll see what else is available:  orders[at]thetokyobill.com

Artwork et al

From my personal collection of calligraphy and pictures, hand-painted by my teacher, now-retired grandmaster of Bujinkan ninjutsu Hatsumi Masaaki.

Over many years I collected pieces from Hatsumi-sensei, and kept them in storage but I haven't the space to show them.  Maybe You will be able to show them off on your own wall. 

Each piece is a unique item, ink-on-paper, you can frame and hang for a beautiful touch of Japanese culture.  As for size, each item is roughly 25x35cm.

Pieces will be sent directly by me via snail mail, at no extra cost to you.  Should you wish alternate shipping, however, we can discuss.
