Andrew Lee

I'm a writer now, but have been a jack of all trades when it comes to publishing, including designer, editor, and creative director. I was at The Japan Times newspaper for 10 years, which I rebranded and redesigned in 2017. Since leaving the JT, I've been studying wine and I am currently doing the WSET Diploma. The main focus of my writing these days is the wine of Japan.
