Freelance Content Writer

Are you a coffee fanatic with the inside scoop about where to get the best beans in Tokyo? Maybe you’re on a mission to document all the vegan options at popular Japanese chain restaurants. Or you could be a tea ceremony hobbyist with an extensive collection of Japanese pottery and table manners to wow even the most picky and tight-lipped obaa-san. Whatever your foodie interests are, we want to hear from you!

ByFood aims to publish informative and well-researched articles, written in a friendly and engaging tone. We publish helpful content about Japanese food culture, cover the latest in Japanese food news and trends, and provide Where to Eat guides to neighborhoods across the nation. We also welcome human-centered food stories and restaurant reviews, as well as personal essays about living and eating in Japan. Our target audience is people with an interest in Japanese food and culture who want to travel within Japan, and we’re looking for unique voices to bring their diverse experiences and knowledge to the table.

If you love writing (and eating!), shoot us an email at hr@byfood.com with your resume, a writing sample, and some ideas about the topics you want to cover. We’re looking forward to hearing from you!
