A new chef took the reins of @sushisaitohk earlier this year and this is my first visit to the restaurant in the @nawataryosuke era .

Super friendly and engaging and armed with excellent English , it was a jovial and fun lunch .

The otsumami were a lovely gentle start to the meal . Fresh and zesty in season ikura , soft and unctuous Tako , first time having cubed awabi almost in a western tartare style but still retaining its traditional pairing of rice and liver sauce .
Piping hot Tachiuo was tender and soft and contrasted well with pickled radish .

The nigiri was a slow progression of Unami , some of the highlights were the chewiness of the Hirame engawa , the brine of the Kohada, the balanced fat of the Chutoro , the brightness of the Shira ebi , a killer duo of Bafun Uni and aka uni , the former is predominantly sweet , the latter vegetal and featuring seaweed notes .
The highlight was the very last bite , an off menu Sanma nigiri , chef stated that this year is the best Sanma season for a decade and based on today’s example who am I to disagree !

Desserts are equally extraordinary, from the 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼, a luscious crème caramel inspired by Bolognese “latte in piedi,” to the 𝗚𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗶 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮 𝗮𝗹𝗹’𝗔𝗰𝗲𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗼 (gelato with aged balsamic vinegar) and Tiramisu, each crafted with fresh milk and cheese from their own cows🧀

イタリア旅行で一番印象に残ったのは、ボローニャ郊外にある家族経営の「Antica Osteria del Mirasole」🏡 自家牧場の新鮮な牛乳を使ったミルククリームで包まれた看板料理 “Tortellini Mirasole” は、サラっとした滑らかな食感で一口ごとに繊細な味わいが口に広がります🐮 デザートも格別で、全て自家製の牛乳とチーズを使用🍨 牛乳を数時間かけてじっくり煮詰めるなど、手間を惜しまない調理に感動しました🥹

Sacha - Madrid (Spain)

@sacha_restaurante resembles a classic bistro, with white tablecloths and a simple but very inviting dining room. The charismatic chef Sacha Hormaechea, who is a host like no other and circles around the tables to ensure everyone is having a good time, serves Spanish classics with his own authorial twists.

It is often said that this is the restaurant where all chefs like to go. And it is easy to understand why once you first bite into well-executed steak tartare.

Other hits included the crab “false lasagna” and their world famous tortilla vaga. The first one resembled a creamy spider crab ravioli, while the latter was nothing more than an egg and potato tortilla with morcilla sausage and piparra peppers. Simplicity at its finest, with the egg yolk still runny.

The final dish of the day, served tableside by Sacha himself, was a platter of bite-sized pieces of pig`s ear. It was crunchy, gelatinous and with a strong caramelized flavour on the edges.
