Higashiyama OgataThe term "genius chef" perfectly describes Chef Ogata, who skillfully combines boldness and delicacy in his cooking at "Tsukisai Ogata." Since I was able to make a last-minute reservation for Omakase, I have been fortunate enough to visit regularly.This year, he has once again won the GOLD award on Tabelog, which is well-deserved. On this night, Chef Ogata was at "Higashiyama Ogata," and I was excited to experience a different atmosphere from "Tsukisai Ogata."On the day of my visit, I arrived at Higashiyama Station and strolled through the streets of Kyoto, reaching "Higashiyama Ogata" just before my reservation time. The straight counter overlooking the beautiful garden was stunning!Now, I am ready to fully enjoy the world of Chef Ogata in May. I started with a beer, and of course, I chose the life-giving water for the rest!⭐︎ Sapporo Black Label ◉ Snap Pea Porridge ⭐︎ Shiga Matsuno Tsukasa Selected Junmai Ginjo Arabashiri Nama ◉ White Sweet Potato Stems and Plum Soup with Rishiri Kombu and Bonito Broth ◉ Akashi Tsuruichi Hirame with Cucumber and Sudachi, served with blended soy sauce and kinome salt ◉ Aomori Kodomari Hon Maguro Toro with White Pepper Soy Sauce ◉ Nagasaki Golden Anago Grilled over Charcoal with Pickled Shallots and Sesame Oil ⭐︎ Wakayama Saika Junmai Ginjo Karakuchi ◉ Hachiman Maki with Flower Pepper Soy Sauce ◉ Maizuru Small Horse Mackerel Tempura ⭐︎ Nagano Sawa no Hana Super Dry Junmai Ginjo Sasara ◉ Tokachi Green Asparagus Tempura ◉ Kyoto Kamo Eggplant Charcoal Grilled with Oil Drop and Fried ◉ Pickles (Cucumber, Daikon, Fuki Leaves) ◉ Yura Purple Sea Urchin Donburi ◉ Abashiri Clams and Young Ginger Rice ◉ Obama Mizukumo Udon with Seaweed ◉ Hiroshima Kuzu with Black Honey ⭐︎ Japanese Black Tea Chef Ogata's dishes were truly impressive!However, as someone who simply wants to enjoy the exquisite world created by Chef Ogata, I found some aspects disappointing...Therefore, I cannot provide my usual detailed review this time.
