Working with Andrew Kojima (Koj) at his fantastic Japanese restaurant in Cheltenham was great!
As part of the Times & Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival where I was Haiku Poet in Residence we ran a Haiku and Sake event.
We were knocked out by the response .. people queuing down the road to come in sip some sake and write haiku…
The food at Koj is really good and the range of Japanese whisky available along with Japanese based cocktails in the upstairs bar is one of the biggest I’ve come across.
Look out for themed events and contact Koj for corporate happenings including team building through cooking together, eating together and maybe writing collaborative renga / haiku together with myself too!
If you’re in Cheltenham it might be a sin not to visit Koj!

I’m there, Paul! Will look around the Hartford, CT USA vicinity for a possibility for something similar here! Very exciting. – Donna
