Session
What started as a mission to eat all the kakigori in Tokyo became a full-blown Python project to track and rate all of my dessert adventures across Japan. In this talk, I’ll walk you through how to discover and eat every cute dessert in Japan based on reviews from Tabelog. This app turns personal cravings into structured data and joyful visualizations with Google Maps API. You’ll use Python to celebrate small moments of sweetness.
This is a fun and interactive site that allows users to record their food adventures. It is heavily inspired by a personal trip to Japan and my own experience of using Tabelog each day to explore a new neighborhood and support small cafes and shops.
