Daniel came to Fukuoka for a year of language school in 2017 and never left. He eats at the counter, stays in the ryokan, and says when a famous place is not worth the queue. His food and onsen guides are written from the plate and the bath, with prices, and a light sense of humour about tattoos and etiquette.
