Indulge in Exquisite Sushi at a Renowned Ise RestaurantI visited "Komada" in mid-June, fulfilling a long-held desire. The balance between the sushi and appetizers was exceptional, providing a satisfying experience from start to finish.What stood out the most were the elegant sweetness and texture of the tori-gai (bird shell) and miru-gai (milk clam). The nigiri of kisu (whiting) showcased the chef's meticulous attention to detail, with its perfect seasoning enhancing the umami flavor.Towards the end, the purple sea urchin roll, the tuna hand roll that highlighted the aroma of the nori (seaweed), and the beautifully grilled tamago (egg) all demonstrated a high level of craftsmanship in each piece.This is a remarkable restaurant worth visiting when in Ise.Dishes enjoyed on the day:Tori-gaiSteamed AbaloneLiverTunaSpring Sea BreamSwordtip SquidFish ScrapsKisuClamSimmered OctopusRed ClamSweet ShrimpPurple Sea Urchin RollMiru-gaiAnago (Sea Eel)Tuna Hand RollGourd RollTamago Less

Three weeks after opening,I finally made it to @chezroselondon in Mayfair, and it was every bit as enjoyable as I had hoped.

This is Chef @spencermetzger Spencer Metzger’s first solo restaurant, named after his late grandmother Rosemary, whose warmth, generosity and love of food inspired his career. That sense of hospitality comes through in a relaxed neighbourhood bistro where seasonal British produce meets classic French technique.

The food was simply delicious from start to finish, paired with a lovely bottle of wine from a thoughtfully curated list. The only problem came at the end of the meal… I couldn’t decide between the desserts or the cheese, so naturally I ordered three. No regrets.

A wonderful addition to London’s dining scene, and somewhere I’ll happily return to.

I visited the reservation-only restaurant "SUGALABO" for the first time. It has a Tabelog SILVER rating and 3 toques from Gault & Millau.This creative cuisine restaurant (multinational cuisine) combines various genres, including French, Japanese, and Italian. The portions are quite generous, but you can request smaller sizes after the appetizers.The service was polite and appropriate. Even back then, I thought it was overpriced, but as of 2026, the food alone costs around JPY 100,000.It seems that those who still appreciate this restaurant in 2026 might be easily recognizable "marks" (just my personal opinion).I visited on a weekday evening, and the place was fully booked. It’s a super popular restaurant with a 100% occupancy rate. There are 8 counter seats and tables, and I sat at the counter in front of the open kitchen. They are also collaborating with "Louis Vuitton" for locations in Tokyo and Osaka.This might be a classic example of a "difficult-to-reserve" marketing success! Chef Suga mainly handles the cooking with heat. The desserts were not only original but also genuinely delicious.Some highlights included:- Salty raw karasumi (dried mullet roe) monaka.- Raw scallops & caviar.- Sakura shrimp and corn tempura.- 24-month aged Perch with rice.- Japanese-style jelly with eggplant and sea urchin.- Fried Seki horse mackerel with tartar sauce.- Italian-style soup with grouper.- Gazpacho with junsai (water shield).- Satsuma beef.- Beef curry.- Melon dessert.- Mango & passion fruit dessert.- Madeleines.- Fresh herbal tea.- Souvenirs.I only ordered the alcohol pairing and paid JPY 64,800. (I declined the separate bill for the celebratory champagne.)There’s no denying that it feels overpriced compared to the food quality.[It might be perfect for those who want to brag about dining at an expensive, hard-to-book restaurant since it’s completely reservation-only and difficult to secure a spot.](Visited in May 2022. As of June 2026, the food alone costs around JPY 100,000, and the pairing is also extremely overpriced. Regardless of personal preferences, objectively speaking, it definitely lacks that kind of value.) Less

The quality and level of sushi at Sushi Matsuura in Shirokane-Takanawa is truly unmatched! I visited again for a business dinner this time. I was a bit nervous since it was a meal with some important people, but the nigiri was so delicious that I almost lost consciousness! It was another wonderful culinary experience that reminded me how many amazing dishes there are in the world that I have yet to discover! It was a great meal! Next time, I definitely want to visit for a private meal, not just for business. Less
