一本の鮪が語る「海の理」。
藤田さんの目が選ぶ、最良の一日。
鮨の名店で「これは藤田さんのマグロです」と聞けば、職人は皆、安心した表情を見せる。赤身は静かな艶を帯び、脂は重くならず、すっと舌に溶けていく。その一本に“海の理”が宿っていることを、誰もが知っているからだ。
藤田さんが見るのは、わずか三つ。
血合いの香り、筋の入り方、脂の芯と血の色。どれも小さなサインだが、そこに海流、季節、魚の運動量すべてが刻まれている。
「初夏と初冬は、まるで別の魚。自然には勝てんよ。」穏やかな声に、長年の経験が滲む。最良の一本とは、職人の技で作るものではなく、自然が渡してくれる“その日の贈り物”なのだ。
だから彼のマグロは、清らかだ。脂は軽く、赤身は凛とした芯を保つ。熟成させても味が崩れない。
鮨職人が藤田さんを信頼する理由は、美味しさだけではない。一本の魚に宿る物語が、そのまま皿の上で立ち上がる。
それが、藤田さんのマグロである。

The Quiet Truth Inside Fujita’s Tuna
There’s tuna that tastes like the sea—
and then there’s the kind Mr. Fujita chooses.
His fish tastes clean in a way that makes you breathe deeper,
the way the ocean shifts just as the tide turns.
He doesn’t judge by looks.
He listens:
the scent of the bloodline,
the direction of each muscle,
the quiet “core” of fat hidden inside.
Small signs that tell the story of how the fish lived.
“Early summer and early winter? Completely different,” he laughs.
“Nature has its own temperament.”
Maybe that’s why his tuna never feels heavy.
The fat melts softly.
The flavor stays honest.
Even after aging, the fish stands firm—calm, structured, true.
Sushi chefs trust his tuna
not just because it’s delicious,
but because every slice has integrity.
A piece of the sea,
told with absolute honesty.

藤田先生選的鮪魚，
總有一種乾淨、舒服的味道。
他不靠外表判斷，而是仔細去感受：
血脂的氣味是不是清爽、筋的方向是否漂亮、油脂的“芯”在不在對的位置。
這些小細節，決定了魚的生命力。
他常笑著說：「初夏、初冬不一樣，自然有自己的脾氣。」意思是——魚會誠實反映季節，氣候、溫度、人只能順著天時去理解。
也因為這樣，藤田先生的鮪魚吃起來，油脂不膩、香氣乾淨，熟成後也依然站得住。
寿司匠人喜歡他的魚，不只是味道好，而是“很合理、很可信”。每一片鮪魚，都像帶著海的故事。
當它端上檯前，就是一口能吃到季節的美好。

I don’t often drink wine with barbecue, but when I do, it’s usually from a Texas vineyard (and with smoked tri-tip from @leroyandlewis in this case . . .)

In the final newsletter of the year, I share a rejoinder from Meathead of @amazingribs on pairing wine and barbecue and take care of a little more unfinished business.

See link in bio.

Cheese & za’atar, potato & brown butter, truffle mushroom… @bo.re.kas in #WoodlandHills is officially my new savory-pastry obsession. Don’t skip the drinks — the blended mint lemonade is insanely refreshing, and the shikochino (hot chocolate + cappuccino!) ❤️ And if you’re lucky enough to snag the chocolate #boreka ? Get it. Dark chocolate, flaky layers, powdered sugar, and a chocolate-yogurt dip that’s perfect 😍 #lafoodie #borekas #pastries #pickles #boiledeggs #breakfast Less

Dinner at @firestartergrill

Amazing new restaurant in a super pub near Liverpool Street. Specialising in cooking over flames, beautiful food with massive flavour.
The food is outstanding, must order dish is the crab doughnuts and the smash burger is one of the best I've eaten in London. The chargrilled prawns were extremely tasty, the bavette steak and lamb was delicious, perfectly cooked and fulled of flavour. The desserts were equally as good, the roasted bone marrow with lemon thyme mousse was excellent and very unique. And the flame grilled pinapple was incredible.
Overall we loved it and would definitely recommend it

Two new burgers at @burgerandbeyond London's number one burger restaurant.

First of all, THE CHRISTMAS BURGER

Second one, PICANTE DELUXE
Our signature dry age beef patty, double American cheese, smashed black pudding, habanero harissa glaze, jalapeño slaw, fermented red chilli mayo, demi brioche bun. Juicy, spicy and absolutely delicious. The addition of black pudding is right up my street. Perfect burger
