While he may not be a household name (yet), those in the know about such topics as digital book publishing, Japan, and multiday walks around Japan respect Craig’s incredible body of work. This is a wide and deep conversation about food trends in Japan, where you should visit in the country outside Tokyo, and Craig’s unique style of publishing—all based around his <a href=\"https://craigmod.com/membership/\">Special Projects</a> membership program. It was such a pleasure to get to know Craig Mod, and we hope you enjoy this conversation.
