Tabelog 4.38 🥈

Being trained alongside Sugita San for 9 years, Chef Hashimoto mastered all the quintessential techniques in terms of how to curate a balanced and consistent sushi omakase. The omakase course features a handful of simple yet delicious tsumamis, followed by 12-13 pieces of sizable nigiris. What consistently impressed me was the isobemaki that features different types of hikarimono, depending on seasonality. Another highlight was definitely the kuruma ebi which was sweet, al dente and cooked to perfection.

If you are a sake lover, you have to trust Chef Hashimoto’s selection as he offers a wide range of premium and rare sakes by the carafe at very reasonable prices. Reservation is relatively easy - I strongly recommend Sushi Hashimoto whenever you need a rather casual sushi lunch on Sunday.

The Signature Gotetsu Donburi Bowl 🔥🍚🇯🇵
.
Gotetsu is a small shop in the port town of Numazu near Shizuoka that specializes in extremely fresh and beautiful donburi bowls. This is the largest option which finishes with a traditional dashi, and still costs under $30. Incredible 🤤

🎀The Gimbap Sisters┆📍Narang┆🇰🇷Seoul, South Korea

✼••┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗛 ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈••✼
Last weekend, ahead of the “Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025” by @theworlds50best, @narangseoul hosted a special outdoor spring picnic with women in the culinary industry✨ This time, instead of chefs, the spotlight was on those who usually write about, promote, or market food - giving them the chance to create and serve their own dishes!🧑‍🍳

The star of the event? “Gimbap” - but with a twist!🌈 Traditionally a Korean dish of rice and fillings wrapped in seaweed, the picnic reimagined gimbap through a global lens🌏 Guests from Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Seoul crafted unique versions inspired by flavours from their own cities, proving that gimbap doesn’t have to follow just one rule👑 Huge congratulations to the organisers for such a successful event!🌼

Le Baratin - Paris (France)

Everyone in Paris’ food scene knows Argentinian chef Raquel Carena. At her bistro in Belleville, @lebaratinparis , Raquel never ceases to impress diners with her self-taught cooking skills.

Le Baratin is a local institution, and definitely one of the places to go in the city for offal. It is a restaurant that puts presentation aside and focuses solely on the food, which shines bright through its simplicity.

It is worth mentioning that this is not a tourist oriented restaurant. While for me this is a big part of the magic, this can definitely rub some people the wrong way. Be patient, maybe learn a word or two in French, behave accordingly and enjoy the show.

Chef @_willy_monroy —who first captivated Osaka with authentic Mexican flavors at casual hotspot @saboten.tachinomi —has upped his game with @milpa.rest, Osaka’s first Mexican fine-dining destination. Homemade tortillas with smoky wild boar, duck confit enmoladas smothered in earthy mole, crab-loaded pescadillas, and scallop tostadas brightened with sudachi all shine. The donabe-cooked arroz a la tumbada provides a rich, satisfying finale. Another win for Osaka’s culinary evolution.

I spoke with Willy for my article in @nikkeiasia about the rise of Latin American chefs in Asia:

The one restaurant that I try to visit every time in Shanghai is Fu 1015 #福1015 for its classic yet refined Shanghainese cuisine! There were two dishes that we specifically requested to try this time - the #醃篤鮮 (a classic Shanghainese soup made with winter bamboo shoots and a duo of cured and fresh pork) and #鰣魚 (a shad fish that is steamed with its scales intact to preserve the prized layer of fat under the scales) - and both were executed superbly. Classics such as the smoked fish with sweet soy sauce, hairy crab roe on toasts, #馬蘭頭 and steamed rice with abalone, pork & black truffle were delightful as always. A huge thank you to Rianna and staff for the wonderful night with fantastic service and food!

Joo Ok
2024.09 dinner

FLAVOR OF KOREA

After nearly seven years of operation in Seoul, Chef Shin Chang-ho made the bold decision to relocate his acclaimed modern Korean restaurant,「Joo Ok」, to New York City in September 2024. Previously honored with two Michelin stars and ranked 18th on Asia‘s 50 Best Restaurants list in 2022, Joo Ok now resides on the 16th floor of a building in Manhattan’s Koreatown, offering diners iconic views of midtown‘s skyscrapers.

I had the priviledge to visit 「Joo Ok」in Seoul and I can tell chef Shin continues his commitment to a farm-to-table philosophy by cultivating Korean staples on a two-acre farm in upstate New York, ensuring the authenticity and freshness of ingredients. The New York location has been thoughtfully designed to reflect a modern Korean aesthetic, drawing inspiration from traditional Hanok architecture.

In the vibrant Korean fine dining scene including establishments like「Jungsik」,「Atomix」and「Jua」,「Joo Ok」distinguishes itself by offering cuisine that leans more authentically Korean compared to its peers. Chef Shin Chang-ho emphasizes traditional Korean flavors and ingredients, blending them with contemporary techniques to create innovative yet genuine dishes. This approach sets「Joo Ok」apart from other places that may incorporate more Western influences into their fusion offerings.

It is not surprised that the restaurant received one Michelin star only a few months after reopening. Can’t way to see what they offer next.
