MENU At Womble Gate, Dr. Ellie and Akane Suzuki strive to exceed your expectations with their friendly staff, modern office and professional results for the whole family—from general dentistry to braces.

You’ll also be comfortable knowing their goal is to provide you with the most up-to-date treatments around, to help you look and feel your best.

After her graduation, she was involved as a full-time clinical faculty member teaching and training residents for two years in the same program.

Her idea was to offer the same Beverly Hills-style in English to foreigners in Japan- but without the huge fees charged in the most exclusive parts of Tokyo. While Afrodita is located in Yokohama (close to Yokohama station), many of her clients make the trip from Saitama, Chiba, Yokosuka and the Shonan areas to get styled with her English-speaking staff. “It can be hard to get the style you want when communication is difficult, and many foreigners have a lot of trouble at hair salons in Japan where staff don’t usually speak much English.” Obtaining that style means she carries exclusive Western hair care brands like Redken so foreign customers can use products more suited to their hair type. 1F, 2-108-1 Sengencho, Nishi-ku, Yokohama. 045-311-0139 Open Wed-Sun 10am-7pm, closed Mon&Tue (appointment priority) Yokohama www. yokohamahairsalon.com WEBSITE MAIN GATE R16 blue stree towa • 5 min walk from Main Gate • 3 min walk from Womble Gate 12 ● SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION

Misakikan Honten, across the water from Jogashima at the tip of the Miura Peninsula, is reportedly the first restaurant in Japan to serve maguro no kabuto-yaki, or grilled tuna head. The dish is adapted from the practice of local fishermen who traditionally used their boat engines while out at sea to steam and smoke the smiling part of their catch. The large-size heads at Misakikan come from 100kg monster fish, and the tasty morsels carved out by your server range from lean and dark to collagen-rich and glistening. Lunch sets run from ¥2,600-9,000 and allow the sampling of different maguro dishes, including high-grade sashimi and many lesser-known treats. A large grilled head serves up to 20 people and makes a striking centerpiece at ¥17,500. The heads of smaller beasts serve up to eight and cost ¥10,500 (reservations required).
